Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Weeds has almost stopped working. The act breaks are seven days long, with insufficient suspense/anticipation to carry me across the gap.

Bad sign.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sorry about the hspital stay, Gus. Hope the fact that you are out means you feel chipper. Or at least chipper-ish.

I am always chipper. I am one of those eternally optimistic Pollyannas that, when you meet them, you want to crush their eternally optimistic little skulls.

Nuh uh. You are a wire fan. This is unpossible, bunk. Those people don't laugh at the stuff we laugh at. Methane probes and whatnot. But I'm sorry to hear you've been sick.

Thanks, sweety. It was just the usual. Our usual. Not the usual usual.

I'm hip. My usual's not usual either. Special kind of asshole.

You darn Buffistas on wheels with your specialness and secret codes and glayvin.

Speaking of special kind of assholes ... How 'bout that Marlo?

See what I did there, with the pointer back to The Wire? I may be a genius.

I am going to make a long, windy dissertation on the State of Premium Cable.

Brotherhood ended the season on a silent fart. They need to come back on a concrete arc.

Weeds is in trouble. They need to be about something, pretty damn fast.

The L Word -- I gave up mid season last year, behind a sense that it had become all about prurience.

... Ok. Maybe it wasn't that long, or windy.

Hey, Gus! So, that Marlo, you think he's ever heard the the word "hubris"?
