that time of year again?

[archersangel]

another trip around the sun. a.k.a another year. a.k.a my birthday.

i've been thinking lately that i'm out of touch with what is going on in entertainment.
not that i was ever very in touch. i never listened to the hot singers or bands. rarely watched any of the big movies when they came out, with a few exceptions (jurassic park, some james bond movies). never really watched the big "must see" tv shows. just friends, maybe?

it doesn't help that there are so many streaming services that have to have people for roles for all their original shows and movies. actors who 5-10 years ago would be mostly limited to bit parts are now number 3 or 4 in the credits on a series that runs on a streaming service for 4-5 years or a 10 episode limited time thing that gets a lot of buzz.

plus all of the people who are having their 15 minutes of fame because of a reality show of some sort, are youtube or instagram famous. i can't keep up, nor do i want to.

Happy birthday! I hope you're enjoying it!

Yeah, I will never keep up.

Actually I don't think anyone can anymore! There is just too much content. We just have to pick what we like and let the rest flow on by.
