Shadow Puppet Storyteller

Care of the Soul

Again another entry on what media choices are turning me on this season. On Wednesday, I watched the premiere of Pushing Daisies on prime-time television. I was delighted, because I was immediately immersed in a drama about dealing with death that had a storyteller's creative touch. Visually, it was enhanced and fanciful like a Tim Burton film. The character situations bringing to mind Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach (a children's story that can be taken as quite dark).

It also reminded me of Big Fish, and also, The Fisher King. I know there's connectivity in all theses mental impressions I had, but don't ask me to draw you a map just now.
