The End I Knew Was Coming

So I got my final severance check from WKYC about a week ago. It was essentially my last communication with what was my life for damned near ten years. I knew it was coming, but it was still surreal. There was nothing in the envelope but the check and stub. More personal than the regular direct deposit route, but still very sterile and corporate. I guess a fitting close for what was an unceremonious and disconnected end. Funny, now that I've been away from there for a while I know who my actual friends were. I'm still in touch with them. We still text and call. But they are a very small group as opposed to the "friends" I had while I was still yielding some degree of influence. Make s me wonder just how lonely Napoleon must have been on Elba. No wonder he escaped and fought to get his old job back. Of course, that didn't exactly end well, but that's not the point. Enough of my "unemployable" depression. So, a few notes on how I've spending my abundant free time. The end of BSG was fucking great. It is rare when such an iconic television show is able to end with as much depth and class as it's run. The way the writers were able to bring the whole series around and turn "the future" into "the past" was genius. If you never really watched the show, start at the beginning and watch the whole saga. The close will not disappoint. I am actually a fan of the new NBC series, "Kings." I loved Ian McShane in "Deadwood" so I decided to give the mid-season add a watch. It is good. Not great, but definitely good. As the season unfolds we'll see if the currently predictable arcs hold true or if the show has a set and keeps the twists coming. Where the hell is "House" going this season? I love the show (since I am Gregory House minus the medical degree), but it is falling a bit short on the multi-show story arcs this season. That and I still have a hard time watching "Kumar" play a doctor... seriously, did the casting director not check his resume? That's enough from me now. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.
