Inside Joss' Dollhouse

The Smart Pop anthology on Dollhouse is coming out October 12th. I'm very excited to have an essay in it. I also have an advance copy I've been devouring, and it contains a lot of really interesting, well-written ideas. I'd buy it even if I weren't in it. :)

Bus ride - rare moment of contentment

Almost in writing mood. Not useful for being soon on the clock. And not having paper. On bus, having a closing shift to look forward to. Summer flying by but feeling decent. Have made some conclusions that can't really lead to anything concrete in reality but seem important. Still no good ideas on career stuff, but circling. Eventually will spiral in to an answer. See? Feeling good, not stressing. Retail summer good for me. Out of rut, more active, less conflicted. All leads to happier if less introspective me. I suspect those things are connected. But sometimes you have to stop recycling the same thoughts for a while, leave room for something new to show up. I appreciate the break. Also feel healthier with more energy which has to help. Increased work interaction also making me more socially inclined. Just a good time. Maybe that's why I need to write it down, for something to look back at and remember when down times return. Usually my journaling so depressing. Good to remember I can be content.

Good News!

I entered the Smart Pop Dollhouse fan essay contest and I won one of the spots in the anthology!!

Now I feel less pathetic about not following through on my efforts to recap the series. At least I wrote my essay, turned it in, and won a prize. And it was read by Jane Espenson! How cool is that?

I still can't believe it's happening, that I'm actually getting something published and in such an awesome venue. And I can't wait to read the other entries. It's going to be so fun!

Oh em gee. Dollhouse was amazing. I don't know what else to say. Just...wow. No other show delves so deep into philosophical questions about what it means to be a person. I'm still amazed we've got another season of something so unlike anything else that's ever been on. And the actors -- so good. Can't wait for more.

Damn. Mind blown.

So focused on outside world that I've been ignoring my self-imposed duties here. Will recap last two Dollhouse episodes soon, I hope. Last one was legen...dary!

Back to RW and work and selling my car and all that jazz.

I've got my recap for 10 mostly written, just not typed. Spring is kicking my ass this year and usually not able to focus on much until Thursday. Blech. Anyway, will type it up soon.

Have a dentist appointment today, then need to get ready to fly to my parents' place and claim their former car as my own. Then have to sell my car. I think I finally have everything organized to do that; just have to post on craigslist.

Hopefully writing all this down will help me keep it in what passes for my mind. This is your brain; this is your brain on histamine. Any ques -- what was I saying?
