dexter-ity check

my brother lent us season one of dexter. in between the constantly cycle of cleaning, we are squeezing in a couple episodes a night. revolving around a blood spatter forensic expert by day and twisted serial killer by night, we are enjoying the series so far. its gruesome nature is purposely overdone and sort of glorifies violence and killing, but i think of that part as being artistic satire and i feel a bit better about it.

i won't say much more than this for those who haven't seen it yet, especially since it's coming to CTV. (as an aside, i am interested to see how they will edit it so it's acceptable for prime time television). but yes, over email, i told one of my co-workers how i was watching the first season, and in his reply, he launched into a long description of one of the shows he caught in the middle of season two. i quickly averted my eyes from the screen, but didn't appreciate his attempt to ruin the show for me. so i shall avoid doing the same to you, loyal reader.

i WILL say this: i called my brothers "brother" first. sure, it's not very original, since i wasn't calling my brothers "airplane commander" or something equally random, but i felt a little ripped off when i heard deb call her dexter "Brother". i'm sure they just did that to show us that deb and dexter are siblings. OR maybe the writers are stalking me and imitating my life through art - just like the ice truck killer! *insert eerie music (perhaps diminished chords!) here*

i'm such a geek.
