You're all fired.

Why didn't anybody tell me what Dexter was about?! Shame on you all. This is so my type of thing, it's ridiculous. *downloads like crazy*

Meanwhile I've been having far too much fun reading the TWoP boards for Top Chef, where the general consensus is that Betty is a heinous bitch and Frank needs to be arrested at the most and kicked off the show at the least. Good, damn it. I'm really sick of the fact that this season is starting to feel like a middle-school drama with the popular girl and the bully picking on the fat kid and the nerd. And don't even get me started on how fifty-one percent of Bravo's viewers apparently think Marcel's behavior in last night's episode was worse than Betty's "cheerfulness." What the crack, man?

I'm thinking of taking a break from NaNo this weekend even though I'm ridiculously far behind because I need the relaxation of working on something else. What I really need to do is get all of this stupid car drama out of the way so that I can get it off my mind and focus on the novel, but with my luck that'll take all weekend long. *sigh*

What am I thankful for? Well, living alone, having a steady job, getting to write whenever I want, you guys ... you know, the usual. *hugs you all* :)

Where are you downloading from? I want me some Dexter!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I'm torrenting through Torrentspy. Hopefully, I should have the whole thing by the time I get back home from work tomorrow morning. *crosses fingers*

[penmage.livejournal.com]

Do you upload? Because I can't torrent :(.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I can certainly try when I get the episodes downloaded.

[amaresu]

thepiratebay.org has better torrents and they get up quicker after the new eps air. Just fyi

You mean you didn't already know?

And not like I haven't been talking Dexter up like mad at least once every week or so.

Hmph.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Heh. I keep skimming past stuff on my friends list to spare time for NaNo and I keep missing stuff. ;)

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

You realize I want to hear in excruciating detail what you think of every single episode now, right?

*hugs you too*

DEXTER! My husband and I are completely creeped out and addicted to that show. The most recent episode? I'd seen it once and rewatching it with him, I still yelped at certain points.

RITA! <3

What IS it about? I haven't figured that one out either. :)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

He's a blood splatter analyst for the Miami-Dade police department AND a serial killer murdering criminals. I thought he was just some sort of morgue attendant or something from the ads on TWoP, but no, he's KILLING people and solving murders and steering cops away from his murders from the inside and seriously, why have I not been watching this already?!

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

He kills the murderers the cops don't/can't catch.

And yes, he's a forensic scientist.

His boss has the dig on for him [I can't tell you how much that creeps me out because she looks like Tootie from The Facts of Life, only evil], and ... oh, it's just wonderfully messed up.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

Iiiiinteresting. :)

Marcel really frickin' irritates me, but right now I just want Betty gone, gonegonegonegonegone. I kind of liked her initially. And then she took that kind of liked and ground it into the dirt.

Actually, I'm not sure I really like anyone at this point. There are people I don't dislike and I am hoping at some point they make me like them, but right now I seem to be watching on the strength of, "I want to see Anthony Bourdain mock people. I like Anthony Bourdain. I would love a show where Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay bitched at each other, cooked for each other, and then bitched at each other some more. They could pick up random people from these other shows and try to make them into actual credible chefs. 'Around the TV word with two pissy chefs and their minion-of-the-week.' It would sell!"

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Cliff's not so bad. He seems like the one who's done the least mocking, instigating or bitching. I'd love to see him take the whole thing at this point over anyone else.

Someone on the TWoP made an excellent point about how Colicchio made a big deal in that first episode about not being a mentor -- well, why DON'T these people have a mentor? Who in a kitchen doesn't need to have someone around to taste-test for them? In a competition like this, shouldn't there be? Shows like this are good because you want to see people compensating for their mistakes. Look at Project Runway -- you've got Tim Gunn there to tell them, "This is wrong and you need to fix it," and their reaction to his suggestions are usually what make or break them. They don't have that on this show so instead of focusing on their ability to cook and adapt under pressure it's ALL ABOUT THE DRAMA.

I think Betty may have dug her own grave during that challenge, not only with the other contestants by being a backstabbing bitch but also with the judges by telling Colicchio she only makes comfort food and getting an earful of, "You have to learn how to stretch yourself, dumbass."
