It's started to smell like fall at last.

For some reason, I always connect fall with a sense of potential. It's probably an effect of the school year, but fall begins and spring ends, despite nature's contradiction. It might be an effect of TV pilots, because I get the same tingle with new shows (or the echo of it while rewatching old ones).

So, I'm rather sad that none of the new shows this have the tingle-potential. Usually I can feel the good ones coming when I read about them, like static in my stomach. I'll have to resort to Smallville S1 reruns and my Firefly DVDs just to remember. There are some genre midseason shows that have promise, but they're very far off, and I'm wondering if I've become jaded.



This ramble was brought to you by Livia's Twenty-One, and by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which needs an essay tomorrow that I Can't. Bloody. Write.

I'm looking forward to Lost - it looks fairly interesting, and it has Emilie de Ravin in the first few episodes. So obviously it's meant for me to watch it.

Yeah, that's actually the only new show on my list. It's all the pretty, pretty boys, though, not the story itself. I heard good things about the pilot from Bexless, but it still sounds like fictionalized Survivor to me. Or some perversion of Gilligan's Island mixed with Swiss Family Robinson.

*shrugs* We shall see. I looked forward to Joan of Arcadia last fall without the tingles, and that turned out well. I just miss the thrill. *sigh* Getting maudlin in my old age, eh?

Psst. Are you online right now? (1: 04 AM my time) And if you are, could you maybe get on AIM and talk? I'm - my best friend's mom had a heart attack today, and her heart stopped 23 times, and it's bad, and I just - she's like a second mother to me and I need someone to talk to.

Oh my god, honey. No, I was recovering from a really late Thursday night (~1.5 hrs sleep), so I wasn't awake. I'm on right now, though....
