(no subject)

I barely post for months, and now that I switch to a new place it's like the floodgates have opened. So many things keep popping into my head about what I should write about. So many things!

I've always been a fan of Shakespeare (like who isn't, right?), and the idea of A Midsummer Night's Dream has always intrigued me, but for whatever reason I've never actually read it until yesterday. Most of it, anyway. It's good, though not quite as interesting as I would have thought. I think I've enjoyed a lot of novels and such involving the universe more so. Though it does raise an interesting question: what does a person call fanfic when it's more "official"? I don't mean homage, but something similar. At some point such things become part of the culture, but I dunno.

Now and Later

How is it that sometimes you can watch a show and it's either meh or even terrible and you don't want to watch it again, but later you watch it and it's hilarious? That's happened to me several times, including shows like Bob's Burgers and Arrested Development, and I've absolutely no idea why. Why did I not like it the first time? I get why I didn't get Firefly the first time, since Fox played the Train Job first, and it's definitely one of my least favorite episodes. But otherwise, I don't get it. Hmm.
