YOU’VE GOT TO WATCH THE WIRE
by Scott Blaszac
- - - -
For five years, I’ve begged you to watch the best show on television, but you didn’t listen. That’s why I’ve kidnapped you, my closest friends and family members, and locked you here inside my apartment. I know how tired you all are of me […]

Obligatory Best of Post - Obvious Categories
Closed Published by eightparts December 19th, 2007 on Eight PartsI lived through this year the same as you, so I guess that makes me qualified to talk about all the things that made me glad I survived it.

The daily show did a nice job of chronicling her thoughts on the Duke rape case.
Lost Blows And Other Shows I’ve Canned
Closed Published by eightparts March 11th, 2007 on Eight PartsOur TV recently blew up which wasn’t all bad since we replaced it with a shiny new HD monster. I just wish it had done it during Lost so I could send it off to be recycled as a sort of martyr.
When we upgraded to the new HD DVR I made a list of […]
