so yesterday i was freaking out about my trip to Chicago next month for my BFF's wedding. couldn't find shuttle service, charter bus times weren't working, hotel even WITH the wedding discount was too expensive for me to swing alone, yadayadayadacakes.
TODAY is a brand new day. co-worker can get me an awesome discount for the hotel($29 a night!!) and with the money i save there, i can afford to get a limo to pick me up/take me back to the airport.
sometimes things just have a way of working out. HUGE weight lifted off of me. now? i need to find a beautimous dress because we're going to have the pro photographer take some pics of us. yay!!
I'd say the main theme of Breaking Bad is the journey from exploring this whole meth cooking thing as sort of a reasonable response of the main character to a truly terrible situation to the growing realization that all those choices he made that kept getting him deeper (into the underworld and into his own darkness) were not really things he was forced to, but options he preferred.
Oh, wow. Okay, I am definitely moving that show up in my mental queue, even before
Mad Men.
AT work people keep throwing up road blocks that keep me from getting anything done. So I finally hook-ed my extrernal hard drive and have been doing work in my iTunes over lunch. YAY!
And my first consultant paycheck came in and I was able to make an additional payment to my big Credit Card bill this month. YAY!
didn't manage any of the de-cluttering, oh well.
In The Shield, were there innocent individual victims? But we weren't supposed to be loving on the bad cops, were we?
That’s the fun of it, there’s a lot of “Ugh, this is the new worst thing they have ever done... Man, I hope they don’t get caught!” There is also a mix of completely selfish awfulness and awful stuff that they think is justified or for the greater good. Which of course is what makes it easier for them to do the utterly selfish stuff.
In the later seasons Forest Whitaker is an IA agent going after the Strike Team. People asked him how it was to play a villain and he was all, “What are you talking about? I’m the
GOOD GUY!”
Poor thing.

To be fair, that was also his character's POV.
Mark Sheppard Syndrome.
Isn't he usually a bad guy, though? Leverage and possibly Warehouse 13 being notable exceptions.
I couldn't watch "The Shield" because I could never feel sympathy for the "heroes". I was always rooting for them to get caught and to get their self-righteousness kicked in the teeth.
Yikes, cougar shot and killed around the corner from Chez Panisse. That's Berkeley, within a couple blocks of the JCC Emmett used to go to.

Upon reflection, yes. I should have called it Sterling Syndrome because I was really thinking of that character specifically.
He certainly played two very bad people on the Silk Stalking eps I in no way admit to watching on Hulu.
