"It's Time"

So I drove for the first time today. Yay...? But don't worry. Even though they let me loose on the roads I only killed about thirteen people today (I didn't stick around to see if number fourteen made it or not. He looked in pretty bad shape after the stomach cavity collapsed but I trust that the paramedics did "everything they could".) Arrested Development. Two words: Come on! Now I know most all of you haven't been following the show recently but I strongly urge you to do so especially if you're a Neilsen family. The episode order was recently cut back from 22 to 18 because of low ratings with an average of 6.2 million households a night and to make room for the show that NOBODY likes, American Dad (AKA Family Guy: Part Two but crappier and more ripoffy). Seriously guys, even though it doesn't look it or seem it AD is one of the best shows on television right now. The absolute craft they put into the thing completely raises the bar for half hour comedy. Think Seinfeld. Now think better ensemble, no annoying laughy studio audience, more subtle humor and more jokes per episode because of the way it's shot, better direction, and even more incredible writing. And there it is. Now, I imagine it might be more difficult to jump into midseason as a fair amount of the humor is dependent on a knowledge of the show's continuity. So watch the Season 1 DVDs. Buy them or borrow them from me. It's on the bubble right now when crap covered dreck with crap filling like "Who Wants To Marry a Gay Millionaire Midget While Eating A Cow Rectum and Potentially Killing People With Steak Knives" stays on. FOX (Which would be more appropriately titled if you substituted the O with a U) doesn't know a good thing when they put it on and it wins 5 Emmys including Best Comedy. Again, I strongly urge all of you to get in the game. This is one of those shows that's worth it. And now a completely smooth transitional segway from this subject to the next: Independence is hot. I'm not talking the girl-power I'm my own woman kind of fauxpendence. I'm talking the honest-to-God I don't need to need or be needed I can sucessfully exist without a bf/gf kind of independence independece. When you come across people like that it's fascinating because you feel like they've discovered this secret to it that the rest of us have yet to. They know or seem to know more then you. And that's a kind of sexy intelligence that'll never cease to captivate me. Then by a turn of God's twisted irony you start to want or need them or need them to need you. It's funny. Ha...ha...? 17
