theladyroseSome people figure out crossword puzzles; I attempt to analyze incidental music for clues on what will happen in the next episode of a TV series.
It's almost disturbing how happy this makes me. I tried counting all of the post-it notes I've used for my findings for one show alone (I'm not even counting movies); it's somewhere around 35 at the very least. I would probably be a lot faster if I actually knew music theory and/or real terminology, but there are some really nifty cross-references that I'd like to trace further. In other words, I actually have a semi-legitimate excuse to wath TV!
One of these days I really need to transcribe and compile my notes onto Karen, my beloved laptop, so that I can actually read what I have. I'd hate to see my Alias project end up like my Incredibles (which I'm still working on; it's been about ten months so far and I've been slacking off on that)-I'm never writing down anything in pencil ever again.
In other words, I'm in the midst of finding every bottle of vitriol I can for my Newsweek letter to the editor for dissing my composer-god, Michael Giacchino (See the snippet on the extinction of the TV title song article near the beginning. The idiots can't even tell the difference between a song and a main title theme). If only I didn't completely and utterly botch the one and only article I've ever gotten published...
