Until the last episode, I wasn’t 100% sold on Hannibal. Now everything is people and nothing hurts- except the possibility of no second season.
Too bad Southland will not have a sixth season, though. I can see the season finale as a series finale, but it’s quite the gloomy series finale. I WANTED HAPPINESS AND REDEMPTION ARCS

One of the film blogs I follow has added my film blog on its link sidebar! (scroll up in comments)

I did update my film blog… with a post on TV shows. Here’s my comparison of Hannibal, Utopia, and Les Revenants (Rebound). It’s sort of vague due to my policy on not stating major spoilers. I’m worried that my writing sounds pretentious. Oh well, as long as I picked the right words to describe things. Specificity over style.

I also reviewed the new Pulitzer Prize-winner for fiction, The Orphan Master’s Son.

Job-wise, I’m back on the subscription calling campaign from 4:30 PM - 8:30 PM, M-Th, and 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM, Saturdays. I had realllllly hoped to be in a career position where I didn’t have to take the job again, but at least the boss and coworkers are good people and the job’s better than most. We’ve also switched from a paper system to a computer-based system, so at least that’s a variation. I’m getting antsy with life right now and I don’t know how I could have handled doing the exact same thing for another 4+ month campaign. Still have my (very limited) part-time telecommute job; also looking for something additional, temporary or permanent, full-time or at least with more hours.

After I finish a short story and a few articles for other blogs, I’ll start on the third draft of my novel.
