I was standing in line at a local pizza place the other day, and the guy in front of me looked and dressed just like Sylar. Creeped me out.

Oh, and I'm a total Heroes addict now.

Cathedral, did you notice anything about the surroundings where you were watching the movie? (which is mighty twisted, BTW) Do you have other dreams like this? Inquiring bloggers want to know. ;)

My apocalyptic dreams usually involve some sort of social upheaval; perhaps a dreadful thing has happened somewhere else, but as a result of that, or for no reason I can find out, one can't count on anyone behaving in law-abiding way. One dream I had was about gangs of good looking rich/upper middle class teens driving around the rural area where I found myself. They were in stretch limos and armed to the teeth. Anybody younger/older/poorer/non-white was a potential target.

Dunno who the woman on the left in the first pic is, but looks like she's got a boob job to me.

I tried to get into Heroes, but I couldn't. It's not that I didn't like the show, but that (a) I felt I needed to be brought up to speed on a rather complex backstory and (b) I don't know if I can be obsessed by yet another TeeVee show. The one I'm most interested in right now is House, but I also like all the Law & Order series, Saving Grace, and Burn Notice.

That said, I think House really deteriorated in season 3, and the current season plays more like some manic comedy that the medical procedural it started out to be. CG, your take on the episode "Ugly" pretty much nailed everything that's going wrong with the series. At the same time, I'm waiting for the writer's strike to end so we can have new episodes, and I know I'll laugh like an idiot at all the crude, shark-jumping nonsense.

But enough about me....

Whoops, my bad. For some reason, I thought this post and the one above it were a single one. Sorry. <embarrassed/>

I can certainly understand about not wanting to get caught up in yet another TV series, but should you ever get a hole in your entertainment docket, I would highly recommend Heroes. I bought the first season on DVD (on sale for only $20!) unseen, and by the second episode, I was completely hooked.
