Supervolcano came earlier this week, but it’s been so hectic I didn’t get to watch it straight away (gasp!). That was tough, I tell you. Last night, I had an amazing internal battle about whether or not I should watch it on my laptop or… write on my laptop. And then I realised I could watch it on television as I wrote on my laptop! And then I congratulated myself for being a genius.
So I put it in my DVD player, wrote maybe two sentences and promptly got swept up in the sexy world of Michael Riley playing Rick Lieberman explaining what would happen if Yellowstone exploded. And then dealing with it when it did. It was 1 hour and 40-odd minutes of awesome.
Anyway, I think I need to meet a volcanologist so I can make them talk shop and ascertain whether or not volcano talk actually IS sexy or if it it’s all The Discovery Channel’s ~*magic*~. I will make a thesis out of it. I will call it Proposed Sexy Volcano Theory in the Noughties or some such. I bet if I met a volcanologist, they’d be all, “My God, I hate you Discovery Channel volcano docudrama watching people.” And I’d be like, “My God, you are as sexy as I imagined.” Because while The Discovery Channel is magic, I highly suspect they are working with the already existing sexiness of volcanoes and the people who study them.
Okay, back to watching Sexyvolcano again. I mean Supervolcano.
And of course, by that I totally mean writing.
You rock.
(p.s. by random coincidence, I am writing — some might say toiling through — a freelance project related to volcanoes right now. unfortunately it is not sexy. it is far from sexy. it feels bad and wrong, after reading a post like this.)
I knew other kids in school who could watch TV or listen to the radio while doing homework. I could never do that; I still can’t split my attention like that, even when I’m on the phone.
You know how sometimes someone’s just called to chat and you think, yeah I’ll talk to her while I (whatever–check email, do dishes, cook)? I find that I drift. My brother calls when I’m cooking and I swear he ruins every supper! When we’re eating, I can taste what I forgot to add.
you are too hilarious.
oh god, the drinking’s getting worse.
Nova: I wish I could know who you are freelancing for so I could email that person and say YOU DOIN IT WRONG because if they are making volcanoes not sexy they are doing something extremely wrong!! It pains me to think about it. Wasted volcano sexy. *cry*
Danette: I’m really good at splitting my attention between music/tv and writing/other things except when volcanoes are involved! Heh–have you ever told your brother he’s the cause of dinner ruination? Maybe he does it on purpose. :)
Em: I try! Thank you. :)
Kelvin: THAT IS SCANDALOUS SCUTTLEBUTT, as Mr. Weatherbee would say.
