Quote of the Day

.

Everybody start watching Enlightened, dammit! I can't even tell you guys how much I love the show. It gets better and better each and every week. What are we, four or five episodes in now? And I am painfully involved in Amy Jellicoe's quest. (I would say "journey" but I am allergic to that word.) Thankfully I don't have to put it into words though, because EW just said it all for me. Choice bit:

"Watching Amy work so hard to become a better human being is wrenching, especially since one of the show’s messages is that it should be very easy if you stop struggling to align the world’s chakras with a rose quartz crystal and just learn to think small. The season’s phenomenal third episode, “Someone Else’s Life,” begins with Amy thinking about the secret lives of the people she works with. ”I imagine the love that they’re getting,” Amy says in the opening voiceover, “and the relief that comes from being really known, the private pleasures they share, the friends they have, and the pressures they don’t. Their sense of importance, the satisfaction of their work … ” But by the end of the episode, after making a simple gesture of kindness to a coworker (I won’t spoil what happens), she looks at things a little differently. “I realize how much I have,” she says, again in voiceover, “and how much I have to give.”

Now, those words might sound like something from Dr. Phil’s Life Script when you’re reading them on the computer. But when I saw that episode, I cried. And when I watched it a second time, to write down those words so that I could quote them here, I cried again."

And me reading those words made me cry again! It's an endless cycle of crying, and laughing, and screaming, and laughing, and crying, and screaming. Fuck it's so good.
