Vampire Bats: Want Your Blood

It reads, “Asparagus for dinner again.  I hate asparagus.  Does this mean I’ll never grow up?  Nervous about meeting ‘J’ tonight…” thats the letter J, Diane.

I just started watching Twin Peaks again from the beginning.  I really love that Chiller replays the series every few months.  Watching this makes me feel sad that the show wasn’t more appreciated when it originally aired.

I remember hearing the theme song and seeing the little bird from the intro when I was a kid but I didn’t really get into the series until college.   Everything from the clever dialogue to the character development to the set design is perfect.  I love how I feel watching this show because it  feels both refreshingly new and comfortably familiar at the same time.

I always wish I could appreciate my favorite things in their time and not after the fact but I guess it doesn’t matter.  Actually, it’s probably better this way. I was too young to appreciate the show when it originally aired but longing for nondescript, timeless Americana is pretty common with David Lynch.  Rather than experiencing the show as a bizarre novelty, I feel this weird nostalgia for something I can barely remember.  That feels romantic to me.

Take that, Mr. Monkeywrench.
