Yes I'm still alive

I know, I know, almost a week since I scared the internet with another post. What can I say, being sick makes me even lazier. I spent whatever time I could either in bed or on the couch, now granted it was not that much time but I feel the rest did me some good. So did the naps. Thankfully I had entertainment along for the ride.
Now a friend of mine (whose blog is very readable) started a flashback phenomenom. We had a discussion last Sunday about what shows and cartoons we liked to watch as a kid. This got me to thinking about why I watched certain shows. (There was that one with the giant talking owl in pants but seriously I'm 25 and I'd still watch it just to see a giant talking owl in pants. I might even tape it if they were funny pants...oooo like golf pants.)
Right, back on track, my favorite show as a child had to be Gargoyles. Why? Well yes I have a fascination with the statues and have my own little collection strewn about my house but that came later. The show itself was very deep, not only for it's time but the medium as well. Hell in the first season one of the main characters is shot by another main character, drama like that just doesn't happen on Hello Kitty's Railroad Adventure. Everyone had conflicts, some more subtle than others and the story lines were for the most part very interesting. (I do not count the 3rd season past S3 ep 1 for the simple fact that the creator left and then Disney made it happy carebear all is good fun time.) So this past week I would watch it to help me through the cold induced comma I am stuck in. Most kids show I look at now and just scoff at. This one I started to see the lines of conflict and drama that I couldn't as a child. Sweetness. Plus it's nice to not have to read subtitles. Gundam 00 and Bleach give me enough of that.
Ooo crap, work sucks!
