It's been a while since a TV show actually managed to get me compulsive about it.
A long while.
Season 2 wasn't as strong as season 1, but mostly the character development arc they were covering for Dexter was too large for 12 episodes, I think.
But damn.
Anything that can make my heart race that regularly? Yah. I'm back when it comes back for season 3.

I have found a new show I really really like.
Dexter.
This show should give me the screaming heebee jeebees.
It isn't. I love the characters, the characterization, the sheer utter blackness of it all. The tiny thought that went through my head - "Gil Grissom if he ever let himself go".
Damn you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I've never been a rabid Wheldon fan. I know - I'll be torn to pieces now. Buffy was okay, but way too angsty for me. Angel was all that and worse. Firefly's fun, but given the "oh, Nita, you'd fit in this crew so well" and my response of "Have you met me? Are you mental?", I haven't been really following his stuff closely.
Today, because I'm running shy on sleep, I wound up watching Act One of Dr. Horrible's SingALong Blog.
And loving it.
Neal Patrick Harris grew up well. And he's fabulous as the sympathetic up and coming evil villian.
Nathan Fillion is glorously over the top as the hero. Dude. Seriously.
That was fun. I want more. I can finally see what my friends have been drooling over for ages now.

An open letter of apology
Dear Me,
Over the years, I have resented you for not being athletic enough, brave enough, funny enough, smart enough, talented enough, handsome enough, rich enough, admired enough, educated enough, New York enough, out going enough, quiet enough, old enough, young enough, loving enough, and loved enough. I have demanded perfection from you and have found you wanting. The result of this obsession with perfection has been to make you terrified of failure and ridicule, angry at any and all obstacles, and finally, incapable of enjoying the bounty that was not only around you, but within you as well.
Well, all that's about to change. From now on, I'm going to make every effort to love and accept you as you are. But since bad habits die hard, I'll start with something easy. From now on, you're old enough.
Affectionately,
Me

I saw an interesting idea the other day while watching Food TV.
A desert that was presented to look like a cup of hot chocolate, whipped cream piled high on it, with a small spoon in the cup for mixing.
It was actually a mocha-chocolate cake, baked individually in the mugs, with a marshmallow that had been flavoured with Grand Marnier and piped to look like whipped cream. the spoon was a cookie. They served it with a small shooter of butterscotch rum sauce.
I liked the idea - basically a modern day subtlety (theoretical medieval practice of making one food look like something else).
I'm toying around with doing something like this.
Trying to think of what I could make things look like.
What would you like to see arrive at the end of a lovely meal as a "finish" - talking eye appeal here, not what you want to eat

Sorkin's working on a new series....
Granted, premise sounds reminicient of the departed Sports Night, but since I liked that one too, I'm good with that.
