i want to know what’s up with musical interludes in wb/upn shows lately. dawson’s creek had at least fifteen minutes of no doubt footage in one episode a couple of weeks ago. it was also pretty obvious they’d even re-shot closeups of gwen and the boys just so they’d look really pretty on camera. i’m as much a fan as most people, but i don’t watch teen dramas for the music video factor. then there were the last couple of buffy episodes, five or more minutes devoted to the singer at the bronze. the second was aimee mann, and, honestly, she’s not really fun to look at so i’d rather not, if if you don’t mind, mr. whedon.
in other news, tyler phoned at 1:46 this morning. i was so startled by the noise, i actually tried to turn my alarm off before i realized it was the phone. we talked for a while, it was nice. i’ve been misisng him lately. what was not nice (besides the obvious of being woken up in the middle of a really good sleep) was realizing that a TWO FUCKING AM the upstairs neighbour still had music on. it wasn’t *loud* but it was loud enough for me to hear every bass beat (or whatever they’re called). she finally turned it off around three-something, just as i was getting off the phone and trying to go back to sleep. i’m fairly sure loud-talking-guy was there and the music was to camoflague sex noises. honestly, i’d rather hear them screw. *sigh* that’s pretty much it, my tolerance is tapped. next offence i’m calling the bloody landlord. at two am if i have to.
jerermy did half my homework for me last night. i’ve never been good at writing synopses, so he authored a wee blurb about xml for my group project outline i have to hand in today. i don’t like half my group and i’m running out of time to do any kind of work on it. for me, at least, this is all moot. i’m taking a proper xml class next term. oh well. after class is elaine’s housewarming out in ladner. whee! then, hopefully, cards with m&m and dean tonight.
okay, i’m off to consume coffee and cold pizza before class. happy saturday, everyone!
record companies pay the TV shows lots of bucks to play videos or show their artists on the show. They’re desperate to sell records and whore their artists out as much as possible.
And being that I work in TV, I can say if the show’s running short in a few spots, music’s a good fallback because you can stretch the music out to fill in time. I do that a lot due to lack of footage, as people have noticed on my show.
Nothing says breakfast like coffee and cold pizza! Mmmmmm! :)
