here i am keeping in the back of my mind that a tribe song is going to be used at some point during this tv series..and ep2 opens with p-funk's "we want the funk" (i laughed--is an okplayer doing the music curating? is Hiro Murai a lurker here?)

one thing i've noticed about getting older: my pop culture-point of view is being represented more and more in "high-standing" art mediums

i'd say biggest difference from book to show: the post-collapse world in the book feels dustier/grimier (how they describe what they wear/like it's a personal fave outfit that they keep on..regardless of how dirty/rank it gets---that bathing suit kirsten's wearing in ep2 looks straight off a department store rack)
