tv drama

i wonder if people watch tv drama because it validates the drama they create in their own lives or because they do not have enough drama in their own lives or because they have too much drama in their own lives and the tv drama is a good escape, distraction, and whatever, why do i watch? (i mean, this is my daily life blog so i ought to be asking and learning about me, right?... what?... like i follow rules or do what is normal?)... anyway, i watch mostly for... imaginary friends...

to borrow a current catch phrase from one of the cable stations, characters are welcome, at least they are in my head... i imagine actually meeting and knowing characters - and helping the way some of the characters help... there's also some libido fantasy escape in there, but not nearly as much as there used to be... libbo has gotten way more realistic and visceral as years have passed...

today i watched bones and the mentalist... i prefer bones, more science, better character development and interaction, rational thought and logic, and most of all the lead character is a personality i would love to meet as a real person... a few others as well... the mentalist plays with the psyche more, which is sometimes fun and interesting, but too often much more predictable... anyway, tv stays in the background most of the time, but today is was more of an escape for the head and bones being a reminder of the intellectual stimulation i miss...

whether this provides any insight into me or not, it's here :)
