My current temp assignment will be ending soon--although I'll miss the money, it's a lot of stress, and I'd like a day off every now and then. I have some ideas percolating--I've been trying to work on some poems and have had little free time, and last night I came up with a neat idea for an adaptation of Macbeth that I'd like to work on. But I haven't had time. Soon.
I caught up on some of my Netflix DVDs last night--I watched a disc of The Greatest American Hero which included the pilot episode for the attempted spinoff, The Greatest American Heroine. I've never seen this episode, and only found out about it recently. WEIRD. First, it was filmed three years after they'd canceled the original series, and William Katt and Robert Culp show every bit of that three years. Culp's hair is white, for God's sake. The idea is that Ralph get outed by the government and has to give up the suit, so he finds a new person--this younger woman who is OVER THE TOP tree-hugging, animal-loving, "one nuke can ruin your whole day" hippy-dippy liberal. The best part of the episode is the first 20 minutes (before we meet her), especially when Ralph and Pam say goodbye to Bill, who stays on to train the new person. He's great as always, as are Ralph and Pam, but the new person is pretty damn annoying. And her HAIR--oh my God, the '80s just came moonwalking back. She has the bangs from hell--curly, poofy, big ass hair. She's quite pretty but her character is cringe-inducing.
I also watched a documentary called Before Stonewall, about the nascent gay community before the Stonewall riots. It was filmed in 1984--I would like to see when the followup, After Stonewall was filmed, because 1984 was Ground Zero for gay history because AIDS was about to hit the fan of mainstream consciousness. Surely they filmed the sequel at least 10 years later?
My throat hurts. I went to the doctor last week but she said it was a virus, not strep or anything. *Sigh.*
