Hooked on Deadwood

Last night I watched Season 1 disk 4 and I admit that I'm finally hooked. I love the ever changing relationships between the characters and I am certainly hearing the poetry in the language of McShane's character. It still jars when some of the other characters throw out a "cocksucker" though.

I also watch Lara Croft, Tomb Raider--and loved it! Yeah, a very guilty pleasure but I enjoy watching Jolie and I thought it was a lot of fun. And Daniel Craig was in it too! Whoopie! I just added the second one to my queue for later (much later) light entertainment.

Sooo... I won the Locus Award! Hooray me (and everyone else)
