*/geeky start* Farscape is my favourite show. It's the Path of the Hero told on a galactic scale. Farscape is rich, nuanced, subtle and exciting with characters that are complex, morally ambiguous, and believeable. SciFi cancelled it a while ago, but, due to dedicated fans and a great campaign, they're airing a mini-series in October. If you're not familiar with this show, SaveFarscape.com has put together an informational site. There's a synopsis of the series, a preview of the mini-series, and extensive critics' reviews of the show. Check it out at FarWhat? */geeky end*

Looks as though I might have a fairly regular gig doing medical transcription. A friend and I are testing the feasibility of doing it on-line. So far it's going well. My transcription skills are going to get a workout. Eep. It's a skill worth developing though. One can find transcription work almost anywhere. Let's hope that voice-recgnition software doesn't kill the market too soon. *grin*

Every dollar earned gets me closer to where I want to be.

Sorry, I'm a bit scattered today.

I was watching MTV2 last night as I knitted. (Yeah, yeah, wild woman, I know.) I was appalled. There was a show called Hot Import Nights that I thought might be about world music; hits in other countries, music trends outside of the United States, that sort of thing.

No. The show did coverage on a convention in LA about "cars, clubbing, and women." And women??!!! What the fuck? Are women things to be owned? Agh.

What the hell is going on here?

On top of that insult, the displays of fawning fatuousnes over celebrities' over-laden, tricked out, vehicles were orgies of consumerism and excess. Really now, does any one vehicle need five televisions in the gaddamn trunk?

The presenters were lucky if there was a firing neuron between the two of them. The pain of watching thoughts trying to clamber out of their noggins was like watching someone lick a straight razor.

Well, off to Oregon Literacy, Inc. Whee!
