phoenixastraeaGah, I really need to stop watching CSI. For real. If anything else, its gotten about ten times as depressing. Tonights episode about the four different murders was ridiculous.
Maybe I'm just being picky because I've been feeling drained for weeks now. I've got a good job, but one of my coworkers is driving me batshit crazy and I'm not doing what I want to do. On the upside, I'm getting paid, which is a plus. I love my family but they're nagging me almost on a daily basis to get my ass in gear to get a career instead of just a job. Without going into details, my family has been going through some hard and stressful times, and one family member in particular might have something seriously physically wrong with her. I'm terrified of that but I'm dealing. In addition to all that, I feel that I cannot...absolutely CANNOT get rid of the oppressive feelings of guilt, dissatisfaction, restlessness, and anger. There are seriously moments when I feel like my namesake, burning right up from within...my heart turning to ash. Right now, after all the transitions, after all the stress of the past month...I may be in the throes of a depression, or just a deep funk.
I do have a lot to be thankful for...Time to slough off the emo and rise from the ashes...
Edit: OHOHOH Sorry, I promised LOLZ....I must deliver!!

First off, its difficult not to think of this episode as contrived. I know that after 8 or whatever seasons, you want to do something new; however, CSI, by its very nature is a formulaic show. It follows the same procedures as the forensics it documents. So...having four victims all of a sudden "waking up" in the morgue feels forced and weird to me. Due to the doubling of murders (four cases as opposed to the normal two or even three), the cases are easily solved, which I'm sure does happen occasionally. The third one, however, was really heartbreaking...Yes, it's my fault for watching, but even still it seems to me that the pathos of this show is increasing. I mean, Grissom is basically deaf, Nick got buried alive, Warwick was a reformed addicted gambler, and don't even get me STARTED on the misery that is Catherine's life.
Not that all the TV shows should be all stars and bluebells, especially not crime shows....but I think CSI has past the point of no return.
