I don't know what it is about that show but I watched the first three seasons in about a month, and after the final episode of the third season I had to take a break. I felt that I was becoming both too attached to a television production while simultaneously becoming more detached from reality, which was really a stretch to begin with - probably not so much reality anyway - I mean seriously, what kind of responsibilities do I have anyway - aside from helping the dogs get busy livin' which is pretty easy now that they are all separate bedrooms separate baths.
Anyway, the point is, I took a break - and decided to netflix some movies for a change and I finally watched that Slumdog Millionaire that everyone is always raving about because it is so NOW. Well, I watched it and from my experience which I would not say was necessarily the best I think the most unrealistic thing about that movie is that little Jamal makes it out alive. I think in the real world he would have been killed and his money stolen. But I thought the movie was interesting and I really like Danny Boyle. I like how he refused to pull a Spielberg and kill off a main character just to squeeze a tear out of the audience BLECH! As you know, I fucking hate Steven Spielberg, but still love a few of his movies even though they probably suck. I am full of contradictions and have no intention of changing so fuck it if you have a problem with it. Anyway - I thought Slumdog was going to try to get all emotional on me but it didn't so I give it a yay!
I also watched that movie - The Foot Fist Way, which I have heard plenty of good things about and thought that parts of it were pretty funny - especially the rape and AIDS jokes.
Anyway Kimmie, I figured if you didn't have anything better to do, which I am pretty sure you do not - unless you count drinking white wine from a carafe while driving, something better to do, I think you should check out The Wire. I know, another cop show - but this one is a little different and I think you might find that your REM cycle will be infiltrated by Stringer and McNulty just as mine has been ever since I finished season three almost three weeks ago and that you too will find no other way out of this Wire-hole then getting back on the horse and watching another goddamn season. But I also know how much you hate thinking - so I could be wrong. Good luck.
PS - I smell ham. Does that mean I eat too much salt?
PPS - I finally watched a little of that Real Housewives of New York and all I have to say is get a rope. I would like to give that Countess and that Kelly a piece of my mind and think if I had the opportunity it might go something like this:
