beansideWatching Angel while I have breakfast as usual. It's odd, I didn't really watch the show much while it was on, but I really love looking back. If they'd put Buffy on before it, I think I'd he even happier. I do still have issues with Joss Whedon's writing at times, but I also realize that he's better than most. At least he knows what writing from privilege is. More than I can say for a lot of show runners.
It's odd, I never had problems with SPN's misogny, because I accepted it as part of the conceit of the show. Two brothers, no women in their village. *shrug* And they've gotten better in the last couple of seasons, especially this one. Not only a disabled person, but a gay couple. And not played for laughs? Damn, Kripke. Did I promise you my immortal soul at some point? And there's my other Thursday show, Fringe. I love JJ Abrams. There is no one better at writing ass-kicking, bad ass yet vulnerable women. Olivia Dunham is a strong, professional, beautiful woman who is a loyal friend and loves deeply. Yet the lead male, Peter isn't diminished by her competence. He supports her and nurtures her strength. Actually, he's the caretaker of the two. It's nice.
Now, I must get myself together. We had 2 feet of the white stuff, so I think I'll be leaving early, just in case traffic sucks. Work's going well. I think my boss is worried that I'm overdoing it, and I'll get burnout. I'm so used to being the only person answering the phone that I tend to multi-task, and hold messages until I get a quiet moment to type them up, where as other people will go off call after each phone call. I don't see how that's particularly efficient, so I tend to scribble the notes that I need and then wait til calls die down. *shrug*
It means I tend to take a lot of calls. 126/618 one day, and 118/436 on Friday. I should mention that I'm one of nine people. *shrug* Still, it's going well.
*grin* And now, I must go forth and get dressed. Whoo.
