probably Firefly first since everyone says that show was awesome.

Is that list in order of awesomeness iyo suckout? After I watch the rest of Lost and Deadwood (sick brag that I have episodes yet to watch - 2 seasons of Deadwood and basically all of Lost) I plan on rewatching the Wire. My best advice I guess is to rewatch the Wire.

No. I kinda started out listing my fav shows tho. Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood are prob my top 3 (in that order).

I've already watched The Wire 3x and the Sopranos 2x. I'll prob look around my apt and see which seasons of Deadwood I have on DVD soon.

On TV right now, my two favorites are Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Dexter could move up there if they end it before it gets any worse.

Anyone like The Pacific? I really enjoyed BoB but I heard The Pacific was meh.

Finally got my neteller account unfrozen and upgraded! Took me 3 months but now I have a (small) bankroll again. Managed to blow the rest of my roll as a result of the freezing so I got some rebuilding to do.

As for series, Id recommend Lie to Me. Also if you like entourage I'd say check out How to make it in America. 1 season so far but its good.

You're probably not interested in this one, but I've been reading the Finnish jazzpianist Iiro Rantala's autobiographical (?) book Nyt sen voi jo kertoa (Now it can be said). Really enjoying it.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tiger-That-I.../dp/1861978391

http://www.amazon.com/Numbers-Game-C.../dp/1592404235

Fooled By Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb is one of my favorite books.

On to the TV discussion, all of you need to see Trailer Park Boys.. Best show ever.

Probably some degree of fear mongering = more books sold, but I'm finding it pretty interesting.

Ever since the introduction of affordable broadband internet I've lost all motivation to read books although I really really enjoy reading them. It's obviously up to myself to actually read them but I blame my laptop for not reading anymore.

you youngsters.

just pick up a book (or kindle) every now and then after sitting a lot at the computer. it's incredibly calming and let's your imagination run free and don't get stuck with all the **** on the interwebz.
