even you must be into you

i don’t watch a lot of television outside of the gym. but occasionally, i hear about a good show and decide to have a looksee. i was hooked to six feet under, oz, and carnivale at various times, and i’m lucky that the local library has been able to satiate my fix.

by the way, if i haven’t said it, those are great shows. although carnivale has a weird series ending. but apparently they didn’t know they weren’t going to be making another season. don’t let that stop you; it’s a good show.

anyway.

i’ve gotten hooked to a few different shows, and i really like getting the whole season from the library and overdosing in my free time. you could say the library is my dealer of visual kook. just roll with it, okay? so, i’m spreading the love:

flight of the conchords – two musicians from new zealand move to new york city. hilarity and spontaneous music ensues. i even went and bought the soundtrack, because these guys are totally the awesome.

i subscribe to this magazine called paste, and they send you a mix cd with every issue. they are awesome, also, if you’re looking for a music/movie/ whatever magazine to fall in love with. anyway, a few issues ago they featured a conchords’ song, “ladies of the world“. now, when i first heard it, i thought they sounded just like dr theopolis. which i still think they kinda do, but just with this song. so, they had a season on HBO, and i quite liked it. i dare you not to love them.

dexter – serial killer works for miami police. you’ll love the serial killer, because he only whacks truly bad people that should get fed to a wood chipper. not that he uses a wood chipper, but i think you’re picking up what i’m putting down. okay, first, it’s got michael hall, they gay brother from six feet under. so, he’s eye candy. and the episodes are well-written. i know it’s based on the book, darkly dreaming dexter, but i’ve never read it. i was impressed with the first season, and i hear the second season is now available on dvd. so, yay for me.

boston legal – moi and i have a sparing few celebrity crushes. one of them is robert downey jr, but that goes back a long long way. another is james spader, and here he is being only slightly evil. he and the shatner are loose cannon-esque lawyers. while i enjoyed the first season, i currently have the second season, and it’s an absolute hoot. plus, candace bergen. i do love when ladies are given roles of absolute power.

deadwood - i’m pretty sure this show is no longer on the air, but the library’s river of ‘wood has certainly dried up. it’s kind of a western, and there are a lot of famous faces. personally, i love the costumes. and the bar owner, al. played by an irishman, no less. and there are guns and whores. woo!

and, that’s all i got for today. thanks for stopping by.
