Can you say...obsession?

I am obsessed. No, not with Harry Potter, I am not that trendy. I am obsessed with the Sopranos. I know, I know, that's like so last year (and the year before, and year before that...) but I can't help it. It's my new drug of choice and Netflix is my dealer.

I have taken to planning our week so that I can maximize the amount of Sopranos episodes we can watch and minimize the wait time from Netflix. In fact, I even upgraded to the monthly package that allows us 2 movies at a time, and I have toyed with the idea of going to 3! But that might be overkill...I said might.

This is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, shows ever. The cast is amazing and the acting is outstanding. It makes me wish I had had HBO those many years ago. Though I must say, Netflix rocks. I don't have to wait a week in between episodes and I don't have to make sure I am home on a given night. I can watch whenever I want and at the rate we are going I will have seen the entire series in 2 months. Cool!

OK, here's the problem though. I think I might be developing a crush on Tony. It's not that he's that good looking (Steve is far more attractive) it's more that he's dangerous and exciting and powerful. It doesn't hurt that he can hand his wife $5000 in cash without blinking either. But really, their wealth is not that important. I think it's his anger and temper. I don't know, but it's something. It's like, psychologically speaking, he lacks ego/superego and is all ID. Because we "normal" people must control ourselves to get along in this world, we have control over our ID. But, and let's be honest here, wouldn't you love to just kick the shit out of certain people? Not that I would, but I certainly fantasize about it when a masshole driver gets in my way!

Anyway...I am sitting here tonight updating my blog because my next fix won't be in until tomorrow. It's a really good thing I have "Hell's Kitchen" to watch tonight or I'd be here prattling on and on. Good news though- I think I have figured a way to time the rotation of my DVDs so that there is a continuous flow of Sopranos with no interruptions. Wish me luck, I am going to try it this week.

Did I mention what a great bonding experience it is for Steve and I? We finally watch something together during the off season (that would be when 24 isn't on) and have stuff to talk about, besides our children, during the week.

Ahhhh, t.v.! The great American pasttime.
