It’s the weekend (and I’ve also booked tomorrow off for dental and doctor’s appointments), and I should be taking advantage of the free time to write or do something interesting, but I’m having trouble focusing.

It’s really annoying.

OT— sometimes I’m out and about and I see a person in a t-shirt that seems at odds with their demeanour and/or the rest of their outfit, like the quiet-looking, grey-haired, bespectacled man I once saw in a bright yellow T that read ASK ME ABOUT THE CRISPY NOODLES! (I could not summon the nerve to ask him about the crispy noodles). Yesterday I was leaving a store as a family entered. The person who appeared to be the dad was a tall, thin, middle-aged Black man in walking shorts, a blazer, one of those bucket sun hats, and a black t-shirt with tiny white letters that read FUN GUY.  It was A Look.

Back on-topic: I feel as though my mind always contains overlapping waves of interests, but usually I can at least see how they relate to one another. Every decade or so, however, I’ll just be watching tv and my brain will light on some random character actor and say I CURSE YOU WITH HYPERFIXATION ON BRAD DOURIF LOL HAVE FUN TRYING TO FIND MOVIES WITH HIM IN THE LEAD and it’s really disorienting and kind of embarrassing — like a switch flipped somewhere on my personality control-board and I’m powerless to turn it back. I think what I’m saying here is that Deadwood has finally aired a tv movie that’s supposed to be an epilogue to the series, but I haven’t seen it yet, and also I don’t know how my brain will react because a couple of months ago Andrew was watching Agent Carter Season 1 and my brain decided to do this with Shea Whigham. Whom I’d watched before in other stuff without becoming obsessed with his weird face. What the hell, brain?

I am watching the Deadwood movie tonight. It's weird because it was my favourite show and I was SO MAD when it got cancelled and I did not get closure but then also there was a certain open-endedness where I could imagine good endings for all my favourites, even though I also checked Wikipedia to find out what happened to the IRL people. So I am Nervous in a way that one should not be about historical fiction. Ahaha my feels.

I’m just pleased that Doc’s TB apparently went into remission.

Oh, my God, that explains why Brad Dourif kept turning up in fancasts of Benjamin January.

[edit] Not like I didn't enjoy Dourif's nineteenth-century weird mustache, but he wasn't my instinctive casting for Hannibal Sefton. The TB would do it.

I mean, Doc/Jewel were the reason I first began writing fanfic, setting my pattern of “nobody else ships this enough to write it (cracks knuckles) guess I’ll just have to do it myself.”

Mazel tov!

I was rather baffled to see him alive, but delighted.

I think that is honestly just how character actors work. Are you not sure how your brain will react because there's usually only room for one?

I guess I kind of feel like I’m being unfaithful to all the other character actors every time I get obsessed with one in particular?

It may be useful to adopt a poly mindset under these circumstances. I am confident Shea Whigham and his weird face will not suddenly feel rejected.
