I haven't owned a TV in four years, and it's alarming how quickly I've figured out to use the muliple remotes linked to the behemoth Samsung my parents have. But in an effort to connect with the world beyond Hay Springs, it's not that bad. I mean, I am getting caught up on music videos from the 1980s thanks to VH1 Classics, as well as all of the episodes of Viva La Bam that I've missed since high school. Just what I need to feel smarter about the world.
However, the real gems of my TV watching time come from the Independent Film Channel (check out A Slipping-Down Life) and Ovation. Tonight I watched this show about writer Annie Proulx on Ovation, and I just wanted to share the link. I was hoping there might be a video link too, but not so much.
If you get the chance to watch Proulx talk about her writing process, I highly recommend it. She discusses her interest in nature writing, and the psychology of people who are drawn to their "homeplaces" despite the impossibility of life there.
