serafina20The Pain that is Skinwalker
I think what made Skinwalker such a miserable failure was that it wouldn't have been a horribly bad episode if they'd just cast someone who could even pretend she was acting. No, it wouldn't have been a great episode; I still don't quite get the whole cave thing, or why anyone would thinking building a big old office park in a small town over a bunch of caves is a good idea, but, still. It wasn't Dichot which was bad and frustrating. Skinwalker is one of those forgettable episodes that disappoints you because it wasn't great, but has it's moments (Lex in a turtle neck; Clark in the elfin glade looking like an elf; the blow job scene).
But, oh my God, Kylia was aweful. Just flat out plain awelful. SHe didn't even try to act; at least Lana tries. She doesn't always succeed, but she's always got some... heartbeat. Kylia just didn't. Clark was in love with a cardboard cutout.
So, in short, had they cast anyone but her, I think the episode could have been saved.
I have apparently missed Poolhall Junkies. It doesn't appear to be playing anywhere around me that I would go to see a moive. Hell, it doesn't appear to be playing anywhere. Why was it in limited release, anyway? I'm kind of mad at myself for never getting my butt to a theater to see it.
I've been printing out my Friday Fives each week and pasting it in my 'real' journal. It's probably silly and dumb, but for the first time ever, I'm writing to myself in the future in this journal. I want to remember what I'm like now, and I think the FF is a good way to show what I'm thinking and feeling and what's important. I might not post this week's, because I don't think my answers are very interesting, but I really liked last week.
It's funny; I've kept a journal pretty steadily since I was 16, and have various ones from before, but back then,it was just writing. I knew I would read it when I was older, but there was no goal in mind other than get the thoughts on paper and the vague idea I should be keeping on. Writing to myself shapes what I write and how I write it in a different way. I think I like it.
1. What was your most memorable moment from the last week?
Hanging out with my old friends at Disneyland and just having a good time.
2. What one person touched your life this week?
Can’t do one; everyone who gave me advice and well wishes when I wasn’t feeling well. It really helped my mood.
3. How have you helped someone this week?
Well, I tried to help a bunch of kids learn how to count with tally marks. Whether I was successful or not remains to be seen.
4. What one thing do you need to get done by this time next week?
At least three lesson plans for my science class.
5. What one thing will you do over the next seven days to make your world a better place?
I have no idea. I guess tutor my kids, but I do that every week. Try to spread joy?
