#1 reason why Michael Scofield is still trying to break out of/into/around/through/under/over things

Because he keeps being interrupted when trying to get some. (Please note, this is not a spoiler; this is observable from episode one.)

Seriously, the show would have ended in the middle of season two if he'd gotten laid. Hell, it would probably have been in serious jeopardy if he'd gotten a blowjob in season one. If the villains really wanted to stop him on his endless crusade to mess their shit up, they needed to hire one ten-cent hooker (hey, viridian, you interested?) for about an hour. Done. End of threat from the prison-escaping mastermind. So much more subtle than the various and sundry ways they've tried to publicly execute him...

Also, the decapitated character coming back = just as stupid as I assumed it would be. Especially since this character, who previously had one of the better, understated but still powerful tragedies in his/her past, is now just a simpering victim of torture. As if making a show about people escaping from prisons all over the world weren't ridiculous enough already, you're going to ask these characters to carry the legacy of Gitmo? Sigh.

Another fun development? Prison Break has decided to pull a "Heroes" and reform some of the bad guys. I suppose I should say that Heroes pulled a "Prison Break," seeing as Prison Break was messing around with this last year. Heroes, please let me assure you that The Last Thing you want to be like is Prison Break.

And yet? I'm still watching! Hurrah! I always thought exercise was masochism, but I never knew how right I was!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I nearly went mad last night with glee. No, not because Heroes has gotten better. (My review, if you are interested.) But because it won't be on again FOR TWO WEEKS. That means I won't be a basket case next Monday trying to tamp down the crazy election-fever AND review this show.

VACATION!

Make it Seussical enough, and I'll post anything

It's so cute, and I hope I will have only a few more days for this to be of any relevance.

Things I am enjoying right now

Happy Halloween every one! I'm having a goodish sort of day. I've received lots of compliments on my violently orange and black-striped tights, so I feel pretty good. I saw a little boy dressed as Indiana Jones cracking his fake whip and I melted a little. (Stupid fucking ovaries! Die!) So I hope all are enjoying their day before the Day of the Dead.

I'm bored at work (surprise) so I'm just going to talk about stuff. Here goes.

Television!
( Still playing catch up it seems. (No spoilers.) )

Movies!

I want to see Max Payne still. And feiran and I need to go see Saw V. Why? Because. That's my only reason.

Oh, and I finally saw The Iron Giant and it was adorable. I love Brad Bird.

Books!

It will take me forever to get through Nixonland, but the eerie similarities to politics nowadays is making it hard to get through at any speed. I get chills and have to put it down. It's also a little densely written.

I finished My Lobotomy which was a horror show in slow motion. A quick read if you want something to make you be glad that mental health medicine has progressed even as far as it has.
