I have an organized collection of music files here on my computer, but I don’t rip all of every CD I have for my listening pleasure. This means that I have a catch-all directory, and when I got done listening to some anime soundtrack selections I decided to queue up a few tracks out of “AllTheRest.”

A few. Okay, it totals three and a half hours of music, and it’ll give you an idea of the kinds of things I listen to:

49 tracks in playlist, average track length: 4:16

What do you think, eh?

We’d like to pause for station identification, and a word from one of our sponsors.

You’re viewing greyduck.net, broadcasting at T1-speeds from the wilds of Portland, Oregon.

Our visiting sponsor says: “Persnickity.”

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Blogathon day.

That’s right, as of this posting I’m officially more than halfway through the Blogathon. You know what that means, don’t you?

It means we can only go downhill from here.

Yeah, I know, it scares me too. We may all be in for a bumpy ride…

So this viewing was of the 8th episode, “Rumors.” Near as I can tell, all that’s happened is that the writers have added Yet Another Layer Of Mystery And Weirdness.

I still want to see how it turns out. I still have hope that there will at least be a point, if not that it’ll make any sense. Each episode has one or two interesting elements that make for good imaginative seed material.

But is it a good story? I don’t know yet. By the end of the ‘thon, however, I might have an answer. Five episodes to go, and I have at least that many half-hours remaining before I get to sleep, no?

Well, this episode managed to move things subtly forward and provide a history lesson along with some needed backstory. I’m thankful, very. Who knows, this show may not be so annoying after all.

Mind you that there’s still almost ninety minutes’ worth of material still to get through before I’ll know for sure.

I’m going to spend some time putting the kids to bed and puttering around the house. I need to move around, ya know?
