Ok, I know, I’m still late to the party on this one, but I just got through a couple episodes of Season 2 and this show just cracks me up! Should I really find the dark life of a serial killer funny and interesting? What does that say about me? But seriously, this is some of the best writing I have seen on TV in years. The story is great, the narration is so dry and funny, and the way Dexter deals with the curveballs that come his way just make me shake my head and laugh.

I just finished the episode with Dexter at the Addicts meeting and Doakes finds him there. And that explains everything and Dexter is off the hook. It’s so absurd it all makes sense!

I haven’t been this enthusiastic about a show in a long time. Watching this show on regular TV would drive me nuts. The frustration of waiting a week to see what the next episode brings would be torture!

The big news was the iPod Touch for $150 (which doesn’t seem like all that great a deal to me, but whatever) but I got tons of coupons for discounted software. Stardock, Corel, Zonealarm and others all had discounted software. And I got plenty of other coupons as well from What on Earth, Back to Basics Toys and Amazon. Too bad none of it really interested me. The discounted movies are so old I already have them. The discounted music is crap, that’s why it’s on sale. And some of the software discounts were good, 50% off, but others were pretty lame (I think you can do better than 20%). Give me a discount and throw in free shipping and you’ll have me hooked. A $5 item that costs $10 to ship is just stupid.

You know what the worst thing about going back to work is after you’ve been away for 9 days? It’s not telling everyone that you sat on the couch eating popcorn and catching up on TV watching (in fact that’s kind of the fun part). It’s not discussing the kick ass turkey you made for Thanksgiving or the misadventures with putting up the Xmas lights. It’s not talking about wandering around the house in your underwear (again, that’s actually the fun part).

It’s all the stupid emails you have to go through! When you’re sitting there those stupid emails with links to dumbass sites are really that bad of a distraction, but when you have to go through dozens of them you realize just how dorky they are!

The guy shooting Santa, yeah I suppose that’s funny.
The turkey put in to a compromising position, yeah, that’s funny too.
The kids gone wild at the dinner table, yeah, worth a chuckle.

But seriously, every email? Clearly nobody was doing work while I was gone.

Well, we didn’t do a whole hell of a lot today either. It was all about the Cyber Monday sales. Too bad I didn’t find anything worthwhile. I guess everyone is soiling themselves over that 8GB iPod Touch over at Amazon. Right now I have to be jealous of an 8GB iPod since I still don’t have mine.

Screw you BestBuy!
