This has got to be one of the more original scripts and cast of characters in a long time. I can honestly say that I have done just about nothing since about 2pm today except watch one episode after another of John of Cincinnati - until now. I love to watch a series that way anyway because you really get the character and plot development.
A friend called and said "what are you doing?" and I was at a loss for words. It was hard to admit my lack of productivity, you know? I realized we are so programmed to be DOING something, that there was a wave of guilt that washed over me. Just sitting for most of the day??? Doing nothing? Nope-not even folding clean laundry, or making jewelry, or shredding junk mail...I did NOTHING but watch John of Cincinnati.
If you get a chance...watch it ON DEMAND or on Monday nights. It's got levitation, miracle heaings, redemption from drugs, from porn, from failure, from death, alien visitations, lots of mystery and strangeness. I love it! And a psycho raving she bitch for a matriarch! What a meaty role that is! SHE smokes, rants, throws and stomps on things, and the Patriarch...vege eating, meditating, non smoking...levitating...surfer dude. Hah! What a twist on an old theme that is.

What is with that programing that we always have to be doing something. I am glad you took time out. I am going to sit down and read We, The Arcturians, see what comes up for me....
i love that quote
I watched one program and then we lost HBO. Interesting program. Even on vacation, I never stopped. I was walking, swimming, doing a puzzle, on the computer, or anything to not stop. This has become more and more my lifestyle, to never stop. Must be running from something.....oh well.
