Temporal Audience

I allude, and for those of you who may be able to follow my thought processes, I allude to the fact that I finished my task, and the red ball will begin shortly. I have learned, from previous experience, not to print anything until a few hours before I go to the mailbox, because Joey the Beloved Son will shred and puke and tree my precious printing paper, much more aggressively than Oliver Twist the First used to. But now my challenge will be not to allude to my ethical scar tissue until I see what plays; however, I have accomplished my task, and yes, know I took long enough, and had some twitter ribbing-- but there are consequences to whistle blowing, and I will only become more vulnerable with time, not less. Even if the PTB tell me politely to go kiss my ass, there are still consequences to doing this, just as my posts here have or may have consequences, at least until LJ or I poof these writings, or change, and try to be innocuous; I suspect I am somewhere in the middle between the suddenly late Andrew Breitbart and really a Heidi-softie at heart, but have to insist that I understand what creates people like Santorum and the deceased polemicist. What and who they are isn't bred in a bell jar.

Here is a contradiction in terms for you: I liked Dick Wolf's Law & Order formulas, not to deny flawed stories and weaknesses, but dislike the procedurals that followed as the result of his influence, and have increasingly soured on Criminal Minds. Their most recent episode "A Family Affair" illustrates the reason. Not that paraplegics cannot be dangerous. Barbara upstairs has cp much worse than I do, even more helpless, and her aggression is much much worse than the irritability you read from me here, and that Steve Tara chastised me over. I do not dislike loki, I merely wanted him to stop advising me about writing. I failed my own expectations, but that doesn't mean I need to be told what I already know, and loki does not know that I opened a Good Reads account years ago.

My problem with the episode is not the expectations reversal, or Kathy Baker, a fine and seasoned actress given the right material; the construct, whoever in the SWG churned it out, has no real diegesis, which isn't always the case with this series, to be fair, but I increasingly dislike behavioral science as a secular religion. Maybe we are simply biological machines, and that's it, but I am a little defiant here, metaphysically. I eschew divinity, but cannot bring myself to forsake purpose, meaning, and the transcendent, not entirely, even if that is incongruent
