another sleepless night, another uninspired post. here's to delivering my mention of shows that i've been obsessing over. click on the show titles to go directly to the respective sites. 01. weeds alright, first things first, mary louise parker is a bona fide milf. if you turn to desperate housewives for your fix of milfs, look no further for new blood is here! mlp plays a suburban football mom who is trying to upkeep her lifestyle and support her two sons after her husband's death by being the friendly neighbourhood pot dealer. watch her struggle with her morals, ethics and little webs of lies necessary to keep up business. while handing over baggies, she dispenses advice and listens to grievances. great humour and very quirky. pity about the long wait till season 2.

02. prison break i heard the show was coming to our shores end of this year but wentworth miller is reason enough to download it. factor in a great concept and repeated close ups of wentworth and i'm hooked. the premise of the show is deceptively simple. two brothers, one prison, an impending death sentence and a pain[literally]stakingly elaborate plan to escape. if you can't download it for whatever reasons, read the episode sypnoses which are very detailed so you don't miss out on anything. well, except wentworth's smouldering onscreen presence.

03. drawn together thanks to my friend hatta, 3 people and counting are already hopelessly addicted to this crass ass cartoons. now i'm allergic to anything animated so when i say it's good, it's good. it makes fun of everything there is to be poked fun at, and more. the very obvious joke here is a parody of the whole reality tv schtick. throw in a disney princess, an imitation of pokemon, a slutty african american musican slash mystery solver and a few others, and you have the winning combination of a very hilarious addiction. don't even start on this if you have a career you can't afford to lose, because it will consume your life. catch snippets of it on youtube for test runs of the show, but really, i don't know anyone who doesn't like the show.

04. The L Word i was deluding myself into thinking of writing about this show because really, who hasn't heard of it? and more importantly, which woman, man, trisexual and amoeba doesn't want to fuck shane? as much as i love it, i have a few things to say about this show, including how suddenly all the girls want to bat for their own team. ladies, let's just say, if you aint willing to go down, you aint lesbo. sorry to break all your ickle rebel hearts but kissing and dancing suggestively with your female friends in a bid to attract male attention is actually regressive, not progressive.

the textual siege.
