I freaking love Home Movies... Bye Bye Greasy is my favorite episode.. but they are all sooo good. My brother and I have been known to quote this show for years, and yes my stuffed puppy is named Smatchymo. I've told people before "I think i'm in like with you!" and so amused with the fact that shit show has got my humor down perfectly...

uuuugh.. genius.

Pointless Post

i'm frakking tired... I had quite a fun weekend, and got to catch up on sleep.. but today.. right now i'm tired... good thing i have this large soy chai latte.. that i will be chugging shortly to wake me up.


I really need to start collecting shows on dvd.. I watched the whole first season of GG...and now I'm back to the first season of Home Movies... Which yes, makes me die laughing every time... but I need some new seasons/shows.

rar... nap time yet?

TrueBlood is back in a few weeks!

So say we all...

Finally got to watch some BSG last night... it'll take me forever to watch the whole series, and movies, and everything that came after.... I think I'm half way through the 3rd season at the moment... But, after a month of waiting for my friend to get the next netflix disc... I can say it was worth the wait.

I'm terrible to watch shows with. At least I fit well with the one person I watch most of them with, we like subtitles at all times, and pausing for snacks, and smoke breaks, and to just discuss what the fuck is happening, or confirming thoughts, or just rants... It's nice.

... and I still want Starbuck's tattoo... Just sayin..

Art for a Rainy Day...

The United States of Tara. My new favorite Show.

Holy Crap, have you seen this show yet? Have you heard of it? Well why not?!? Haha. Okay seriously, if you give any new show a chance, I suggest you do so with this one. The United States of Tara, staring Toni Collette. You know her, the mom from Six Sense, she was also in one of my favorite movies Velvet Goldmine. She is amazing. This show really shows her range and as this show is about something very close to me, D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder)

Tara is a house wife, with a loving husband, a rebellious teenage daughter (only 15, but good god), a sweet but misunderstood son, and a crappy job. As every single one of you know, life is effing hard sometime. How does Tara deal? Well, she dissociates, her alters being Alice, a perfect model wife, who wants respect and to be in charge of everything, Buck, a biker dude, who smokes and gets into fights, but would do anything for those he cares about, and T, a 15 year old trying to live in a 30 somethings body... She smokes pot, shops a lot, and dresses like a slut.

Every single alter she plays is their own person, and she does this amazingly well. When you see the stress building up in her, and she dissociates, those of us that know what that's like, or have seen it happen to someone, could stand up and scream "YES! That's how I feel!" It's beautiful.

The show is getting some negative slack too. People don't think a show about D.I.D. could be interesting (how could it not!?) or that as it's got a comedy streak in it, that it's downplaying D.I.D. which happens after childhood abuse. (sexual, physical, mental, emotional) I do not find any of their points really valid after watching the shows first two episodes. I think the family dynamic of living with a mom that is not always 'mom', is terrific. Not everyone with D.I.D. is on medication, and not everyone believes in integration, hell I don't. Yes it can be funny, but life in general is funny at times, even with a disorder.

It's really worth checking out. It gets my heart racing, my mind spinning, and I want to share it with everyone. I hope it keeps going for a while, because I am hooked.

It's on Showtime, and they allow you to watch episodes there (at least the first one). Here is the IMDB page for it.

LOST (Don't worry, non spoilery!)

Okay, I watched LOST season 1 and 2 on DVD years back trying to prepare for the next season. I fell in love. I ended up having to miss most of the last few seasons though, catching one or two here and there. No big whoop. I don't mind spoilers personally, as I will watch it eventually. (I'm known to ask people how they liked movies they just saw, and what was the ending.. I don't care, I don't expect some big surprise. I read the last page of a book when I get it. Yeah I know it's cheating, but I wanna know HOW they get to that point)

So last night they played an hour catch up episode, which helped me a lot... then the next hour I was GLUED to my TV. It ended and as always I said "wtf?! I want more!" But there was an extra hours worth! Hot Damn! (though i missed pretty much the first half hour of the 2nd half... I was still watching!)

I just gotta say, this show rocks. It's really good and intriguing.. Makes you pissed off as you hardly ever get answers, but it just keeps getting more interesting and fun. I own season 1, and really should stock up on the rest of the seasons.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Go buy the dvds, or rent them. whatever. DO IT.

Okay, there is my LOST happy rant. :)
