It's not familiarity, it's easy access
Sep. 21st, 2005 08:14 amHaving things easily available to you is a bad thing. It causes you to lack any sense of urgency. And I need urgency do to anything, even things I really like.
I've lived in the city so long, I feel little inclination to go see stuff I would be interested in seeing--I'll get to it eventually after all. Thus the appallingly recent trip to the Frick Collection.
I'm behind some 20 or more episodes on Kyo Kara Maoh, a series which fills me with glee, and I haven't been watching it. I was originally watching as each episode became available, but stopped because I couldn't stand the cliff hangers combined with the sporadic releases. But 20 episodes? There's no reason for that, except, you know, I can just watch it later. But the problem is that once I do start watching it, I will have to watch all those episodes. In a row. Because, you know, I am also obsessive.
