Even though I've been getting at least 8 hours sleep a night, I still feel exhausted. My brain feels all fuzzy. A friend pointed out I'm likely suffering from a major sleep deficit. I think my deficit is going to be easier to solve than the National and Provincial deficits because all I need to do is sleep.

I was considering going to a party tonight or visiting with a friend but have decided to go home, watch a bit of television and go to bed nice and early. I'll probably catch up on Everwood or Gilmore Girls. Although to save buying another video tape, I'll likely watch shows I can tape over.

I just got some unsweetened black iced tea from Starbucks - the perfect caffeinated cold drink for me because it's 0 points (I was on Weight Watchers and successfully lost a bunch of weight). I did however eat part of a chocolate bar yesterday which a co-worker gave me - it was so yummy and totally perked me up (I'd been feeling tired & down).

I did see Lost on Wednesday night but I only recall it as a hazy memory. It probably suffered from post-exam brain meltdown the same way my 1st viewing of Veronica Mars suffered from studying insanity. I saw all the twists coming in the Lost episode (although I often do) so didn't really love the episode. I was glad to see in the previews that they're going back to the hatch. I'll try to re-watch the episode again because I love Sayid and I think I'll appreciate all the Sayid flashbacks more when I'm less tired.

When I was chatting with another co-worker yesterday I realized that there's a character named Logan on 2 of the shows I watch - Veronica Mars (VM) and Gilmore Girls (GG). Interestingly, both characters are from really privileged backgrounds and are both jerks most of the time. I really don't like the GGLogan (I'm behind by 2 episodes and understand that my dislike is reinforced in one of the episodes), yet I like the VMLogan. On my walk today I was pondering why I like one and not the other since they're really not that different.

On VM I've seen more sides to Logan, he's actually a three-dimensional character who has positive and negative characteristics. I've felt sympathetic towards Logan in some episodes (stuff related to his parents) and have felt I've gained insight into why he's often a "psychotic jackass". This is why so many people compare his character to Spike (who could also be described as a "psychotic jackass" at times), and VMLogan also has a sexiness like Spike which enables me to forgive his Abercrombie & Fitch style.

Yet, on GG I've only seen Logan taking advantage of his privilege with no consideration for the consequences of his privileged position. A friend told me that in the episodes I haven't seen yet that we see more of him which makes him more sympathetic.

I'm also concerned because I don't think that Rory can handle GGLogan, whereas Veronica can totally handle VMLogan. It's like when Buffy was with Spike, she could kick his ass so I never really worried about her with Spike. Veronica's pretty tough and I feel confident that she could metaphorically (possibly really) kick VMLogan's ass. Although Rory is a strong character, she's still kind of naive and innocent whereas Veronica and Buffy both lost their innocence and naivety, and have been confronted with harsh realities in the world. I'm not sure I want to watch Rory experience these harsh realities yet, although it will make for good storytelling.

My favourite tv columnist, TV Gal often says that she loves GG so much that she forgets it's a fictional world, and I think that's my issue too.(http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,276|94258|1|,00.html If you scroll down to the comments under "Highlights of the week ahead" you'll see her comments about this.) I really care for Rory's character and I don't want to see her get hurt. I can now realize that GGLogan will be an excellent character development catalyst for Rory who really does need to learn more life lessons. Damn rational thought, now I might have to embrace GGLogan's character more - although that doesn't mean I'll have a crush on him, there's only one tv Logan for me (please let him not be Lilly's killer!!).
