Lost and found

Ever feel that the world is passing you by? I've never been particularly attuned to trends in popular culture, but there are a few aspects where I realise that I've been looking away for a few years and find that there is so much that I seem to be expected to know about. There might be more of this when I come to do 'Music - part two'. But for the moment I'm thinking of anime and also technological things generally.

A thought for LJers

"Mental reflection is so much more interesting than TV it's a shame more people don't switch over to it. They probably think what they hear is unimportant but it never is." -- Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

In fact, I'm going to read for twenty minutes, then watch the first part of The Virgin Queen on television - I think I might be missing David Tennant as Rousseau in The Romantics right now.

EDIT: As it happens The Romantics was yesterday - and The Virgin Queen isn't holding my attention...
