I am so depressed right now, I can't even bring myself to read the article. I know you
feel the same way. Let's go eat some Twinkies together, shall we?
FoxNews had Alan Thicke on as a guest. To discuss parenting.
What in the hell is wrong with this picture? If he's an expert now, then so am I. SHOW
ME THE MONEY.
And before you go there, yes, I question my FoxNews viewing at times as well. All that channel has done for the last 4 months is bitchbitchbitchbitchbitch. Yeah, that's right, Fox & Friends, I'm talking about your bellyaching at 6am. It's too damned early. If you could at least present an alternative, I'd appreciate it. Simply griping about how wrong something is does me no good. Nor does it do anything to solve any of the issues at hand.
(I can't bring myself to watch the other cable news stations for reasons I shall keep to myself. Don't hate me because of my crazy news watching habits. We are way above that 'round here, right?)
Speaking of questionable viewing practices, can we discuss Dexter for a minute here? (No, no, I'm not going to spoil anything for you, just chill and listen)
Can someone give me a character with some depth? Please? Well, other than the serial killer du jour. It seems that the writers can manage to do a great job at developing a new serial killer per season, but the remaining cast? Geesh!
- Rita. Come on writers, you can do better than a disenfranchised housewife who is always out of milk and bread.
- Debra. Seriously? Put her on some Prozac and let's keep it moving. She's becoming a buzz kill. Quit trying to draw a parallel between her and her brother. Not gonna work people!
- LaGuerta and Batista need to go and martyr themselves elsewhere. LaGuerta was a much better character when she was just grumpy all of the time. Every show needs a stick in the mud, right?
I think the writers are trying to create subplots to sustain the show if Dexter winds up in jail. Dexter + jail = no killings ergo, no Dexter. The problem here is that the subplots are based on poorly developed characters who won't be able to sustain crapola. Gimme some substance! Oh, and if our main man could stop thinking out loud, that would be great. We aren't stupid, we know what the man is thinking.
/rant offTo be honest (and after much discussion with Opal), I think at this point I'm watching Dexter simply to pass the time until Californication comes on.
David Duchovny.
I just love his lips.
MmmMMM good!
Yeah, the storyline itself is a bit over the top, but there's such variety! Teenage angst, marital turmoil, insane Boss Ladies, student strippers, drugs, odd sexual encounters... Need I go on?
It's disturbing, hilarious and frivolous. What more could you want out of cable tv?Tired of my piss poor attitude? Check out this pretty stuff! I would tell you what it is going to be, but what kind of friend would that make me?
Smith out!

Is it just me or do all the FoxNews girls wear way too much make-up? My mother used to watch them all the time and not a single one of those girls looks respectable. Or even pretty. What is that?
(Beyond what I think it is, of course.)
Lovely knitting, btw.
You know, it seems like you and Dexter is like me and Glee. I love to watch it, but I hate that I love to watch it, because clearly it's not very good. I like to think it just needs time...
I like what you're knitting, whatever it is...
is it just me or is dexter also starting to sound like a whiny bitch?
"where's my killing time?"
o.O
Hate you? I friggin love you for your weird news watching habits! (for reasons I won't go into either;))
