"I love talking about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about."

Title a quote from An Ideal Husband (1895)  by Oscar Wilde
(awwww, look at me referencing things. It's as if I actually miss writing school assignments)     

           Hello from a quiet Friday. No LOTR, Star Wars, or random excursions. Just 1/3 productivity and 2/3 watching past episodes of various TV shows. Not that this week hasn’t had its fair share of friendship. There were language lessons, a bike ride, a garage sale, an awesome google+ chat, and some home cooking. That last bit was quite fun. Sara and Anna Beth came over to my house and we made a dinner of tacos, green beans, and delicious brownies (maybe the combination is a tad odd, but whatever). We also actually made some progress plot-wise for a web series to work on this summer.

        Ok, so I just wrote a lengthy paragraph and promptly deleted it. Seems I can’t like anything I write today. I can’t quite figure out how to take the thoughts from my head and actually put them out into the world – both in writing and speaking. I guess it’s essentially correct to say I’ve been fascinated by stories recently? Not in writing or anything (I can’t make myself actually write anything outside of an assignment) but just in messing with character and story ideas in my head or watching character development and the way certain scenes in different shows are put forward. Actually, that isn’t quite right. It doesn’t include the fact that I’ve watched perhaps a bit too much of a show called QI that involves comedians and generally not well known facts. What have I been obsessed with recently? Stories? Characters? Daydreams? Random little facts? Humor? Just being a nerd and enjoying it? I don’t quite know what to label it as. I’ve got an ever growing list of things I want to watch and/or read from a variety of different genres and I just want to consume it all at once. But that of course would be lame because then I would be left with nothing else to watch.  

        Ugh, I’ve been sitting here trying to think of words to continue this train of thought and it just isn’t coming to me. Any of you care to leave comments of advice or questions to bounce off of in order to actually have me develop a coherent thought for next week? Anyway, sorry about the short-ish blog.

Here’s a little clip of QI to help make up for it:
So, who expects the Spanish Inquisition?


Love,
Jill


P.S.

Also, rock on with your nerd self! Who doesn't love a good bit of character development? :)

i think the QI team cheated on the "i before e except after c" clip you posted. one of the words on the screen was "hacienda". that shouldn't be counted because that's a spanish word, not an english word. why should it follow or be excluded from the rule when it is straight from another language without being changed? just noticed and wanted to say something without getting in a argument on youtube. it was still funny and i still love that show,

I think they pointed that out during the show. Do you just not pay attention when you watch things?
