Oppositionalist? Because I don't like television? That's an interesting way
to put it, that the only way someone can dislike television is by being an
oppositionalist. It's better not to say anything about one's self, even on
this erudite list they think you're being "oppositionalist". Whatever.
I find learning about something, like right now I'm learning about the M.E., is
so much fun. Escapism does nothing for me except in small amounts on occasion,
like tonight's movie is A Bug's Life. I don't like movies that leave me
annoyed. A lot of comedy does that, it's very irritating I think. I hope A
Bug's Life is good.

It's okay -- my husband and I are oppositionalists at hear too <g>.
<<I'm tired of making excuses for why I don't read and watch these things. Why
don't they read Morris Berman or Ron Suskind or truthout.org?>>
I do that too. But at some point a person needs a certain level of escapism or
I'd simply run screaming into the night. So I bounce around.

I just want to apprise all of you that re-reading Heinlein's Stranger in a
Strange Land and Irving's World According to Garp (both after a couple decades)
alternately/in tandem by flashlight while the electricity is out due to storms
is a mind-bending experience.
I'm going to sleep now for the day, having spent the night awake.
Thank God tomorrow (today?) is Sat and I don't have to do a damned thing but
grocery shop.
