Weeds 3 Ep 14: Just When Nancy Thought It Couldn't Get Any Worse...
2007-11-13 23:21:00 Another powerful episode of Weeds on Showtime last night - the next to last episode of this season - which ends not with a bang (as in the end of the Nancy and Conrad episode, week before last), but with a fire, and not a good one.Silas is healing physically, Shane is not mentally, Nancy makes a deal with the Mexicans to protect her family and operation from the bikers and ... she gets back home to see news of a wildfire in her area, on television.This will no doubt be the theme of the finale next week - and, if done in true Weeds fashion, with truly harrowing elements mixed in to the usual hilarity.But here let me interject the contents of a press release which the good people at Showtime sent to me:On Monday, November 19th at 10 pm PT/ET, SHOWTIME will air the shocking third season finale of the hit comedy series WEEDS, which stars Mary-Louise Parker. Please be aware that in episode 314 and 315 (Season Finale), there is a storyline that deals with a wildfire which affects the main...

What I'm reading - Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
2007-04-10 12:55:00 I have just started reading “Robinson Crusoe” the classic tale by Daniel Defoe. I’m sure everyone is familiar with the story, as am I, but I have never just sat down to read it. One of the first things I noticed was the extremely long sentences. There are only three periods on the first page. It is a little distracting, but I’m already getting a lot out of the story. It is the type of story that causes one to pause and analyze life.Okay, and this doesn’t really have anything to do with the story, just a thought I had about the way people spoke and wrote during Defoe’s lifetime: when I watched the comedy “Idiocracy” (2006) the other day, starring Luke Wilson, an average guy who is frozen in modern times wakes up in the year 2505 to find he is the smartest man on earth, and everyone has a difficult time understanding what he’s saying, because the dialect has become a mix of hillbilly, valley girl, and slang, it made me start thinking: if an average person from the ye... |
