Finding the Positive

[tealin]

I'm being a good citizen and learning CG at work ... I could make any number of pithy comments on it but the emphasis here is on good citizen, so I shall present you with the positive:

As CG lacks a gestural rough pass, as one does in 2D, there is no point in the process at which I must fully employ both left and right sides of my brain simultaneously, which means I can now listen to Radio 4 all the time. The immediately apparent benefits are that every morning will start with Eddie Mair and I will never miss another show again. The bigger picture, though, is this: Radio 4 is the happy drug that got me through several mind-numbing and existentially challenging productions in the past, international and domestic turmoil, emotional upheaval, deracination and homesickness, unemployment, chores, you name it ... as long as I have my aural narcotics I need never actually cope with anything ever again! Being stuck in a computer lab with twenty-eight copies of Maya is nothing!

I love you, Radio 4.

But I want to worry about it! My Membership Dollars Ensure That Such Quality Programming Continues! (see what NPR does to an impressionable young mind?) Seriously, though, I would pay for magical internet television if they'd let me (or if they threatened to take my radio away).

I have heard tales of the BBC stormtroopers... my sisters knows a man who only had a radio but went out and bought an old black-and-white television so he could just pay the discounted black-and-white license fee and get them to stop bothering him.
