Did I ever talk about my upstairs neighbours? Don't think I did. They're ok, quiet most of the time and polite. They're also musician wannabes. Which, ok, I do think it's cool for people to try out different instruments - and even though they might not be consistent, they seem pretty open so more power to them - but, between you and me? I can't wait for them to stick to one instrument and! More importantly to learn how to play it. Properly.
Last couple of months was the guitar. This month? It's djembe. Every evening (that is, every evening when I'm home but I'm pretty sure it's every evening) they do a little djembe jam. Did you know that five-year-olds love banging the shit out of a djembe? Because they do. I'm hoping they'll get tired of that one soon and start playing, I don't know, triangle?
As a result of my neighbours being all musician-like, I decided to rock on too and finally christen Guitar Hero. Totally the same thing, dude. I LOVE it. I'm definitely not ready to enter a competition yet but I'm having a lot of fun. I foresee some Guitar Hero nights with The Esu and friends in the near future.
Changing the subject. I watched the three episodes of FlashForward last night and I liked it. I wasn't blownaway but I'm still hooked. Only problem is, I can't help but being worried this will be another Lost. I mean, I don't want the show to go in all directions without ever reaching any destinations, know what I mean? That's why Lost, well, lost me. So I'm going into FlashForward almost reluctantly in a way, except for how I quite enjoy the premise. I always loved the whole 'fate' theme - are we bound by it or can we make our destiny? Seeing all those characters try to fight against their future is really interesting.
And it's also fun because you speculate the hell out of the show, like what if the reason why Janis (lady-agent-future-pregnant-girl?) is a) alone and b) crying when she's doing the sonogram is because Demetri is the father and she's all sad because he was killed ded in March? I can't see him cheating on his fiancée, but then again I can't see Olivia cheating on Mark either. Except for how we can, if only because the Mark we see is definitely not well, so maybe Demetri will crack under the pressure of knowing-the-date-of-his-death and being unable to talk about it with said fiancée and sleep with Janis, as you do. Oh and what about Bryce? I'm hoping we'll get to see more of him because he's the character I latched onto the most - his first scene of Extreme Woobieness and Emotional Angst totally got me, hook line and sinker. Now, I'm just hoping we'll get to see more of him. And what did he see exactly? I mean, ok, so it was all positive, which yeah, it had to be seeing the guy wanted to die just fifty seconds before it all happened but what was it? And so many familiar faces, too! Ruby! Zoe! Dude-from-l&o:suv etc. etc.
In conclusion, I do like it, but I'm just hoping I'll stay interested :-)
