Ughhh....

For those of you who know me IRL, you know I've been sick for almost two weeks now.

I've been coughing, wheezing, and generally run down. Yes, I've been to a doctor, and yes I'm on steroids and prescription cough syrup. My chest burns when I hack due to the length of time I've had the cough. It is getting better, slowly.

I'm not looking for sympathy; my awesome hubby has provided that in spades, and even took a day off so I could go to the doctor. I'm kinda apologizing for not having the gumption to continue the 3rd part of my DHMIS series. Love will have to wait.

So, why not watch it now to catch up?

Sorry about that

That last (taken down) post was unfinished. Further bulletins as events warrant.

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared: THIS IS IT! Part 1

I've posted before about the DHMIS series. I also kickstarted it. The 6th and final episode just aired. Watch it. I'll wait.

It's about media, that much all the viewers agree on. But what does it all mean? Let's take a multi-part in depth look!

The first episode details how creativity is only encouraged to a point. Go, make stuff, but make sure it's inside the box, and doesn't do anything to challenge the corporate overlords. I.E.Yellow Guy stating "I might paint a picture of a clown" and the Notebook replying "Whoa there friend, you might need to slow down." and doing this:

Also Notebook telling Yellow Guy "Green is not a creative color."

 Yellow guy is the series designated Butt Monkey. It doesn't get better for him.

We also get the first hints of characterization from the  Red Guy declaring that using your hair to express yourself "...sounds really boring."

He's my favorite.

Bird guy just plays along. More on him later.

So, it's a basic message; the corporate overlords represented by the Notebook teacher want us to be creative, but only inside their preset parameters.A good way to establish the tone of the series, and a subtle message delivery. But it's not the end.

We'll discuss more next time.
