character witness

i love people watching in cafes, bars, restaurants, malls.  airports are awesome for this.  but sometimes, your hair won't let you go out in public and it is way to cold to brush your hair.  so i resort to watching tv.

i watch a lot of tv and a lot of movies.  more than you all probably know or care to know.  case in point.  thomas was asking some obscure movie questions last night at dinner.  i nailed them all.  the bad ones included.

so when i can't be out to watch people, i tend to enjoy shows that have very spectacular characters.  grey's anatomy, gilmore girls, lost, heroes, etc.  all of these shows have a story line and such, but the thing that is striking about each one of them is the characters.  how they are extreme thrown into weird situations that are developed over time.  i love this.  i love seeing them mingle and connect.

i personally have never needed a show or the mall to tell me everything about someone i am watching.  it is enough to figure them out for the situation they are in and then work with it.  the past comes with time... it is the current reaction that is fascinating.
