Rashaka's Philosophical Thought of the Evening

If everyone owned a sailboat, there would be no wars. Because we'd have better things to do. Like sailing, and making margaritas.

(no subject)

I updated my Naruto AU fic. Two chapters now, wheeee! And next chapter we should be getting to the good stuff-- the shit is about to hit the fan in Naruto's young life, and familiar faces will appear. o_O And angst, of course. Cause what's the point of having an AU Naruto who grows up happy and loved if we don't immediately throw angst at him as soon as the story starts to get things back to normal?

Chapter 2

West Wing is screwing with my eyeballs for no reason

I watched The West Wing tonight for the first time in months.

And all I could think throughout the whole thing (besides random "I still love Josh best!" thoughts) was: WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE TRANSITIONS, DUDE?

Like, it seemed nearly every other camera cut was deliberately designed to frell with my head. Intercutting multiple conversations _line_ *by* _line_. Having one person walk in a door and a different person walk out another. Very strangley done close ups and cut-aways.

Is every episode like this now 'a days? I've never had to work so hard to follow characters and action visually since.... since I last watched Fooly Cooly. And most of my flist doesn't know what Fooly Cooly is and thus the comparison means nothing, but... I can tell you it's damn confusing visually and hard to track. I need some of those pasted-on glasses Sawyer got in Lost.

And whoever did the camera direction for this episode needs to have someone sit him or her down for a long talk.
