tv eating my brain

after much reluctance, I finally decided to pick up where I left off with the show, Weeds.

I still think I really don't like how much of the writing is just so very cynical and much like the overall sarcastic language of the movie, Juno, just filled with the kind of one-liners that I'd punch someone in the face for if they actually said it to me in real life.  No not because I'd be offended by the meaning, but I would just wanna punch them in the face for having this (and lemme try and embody everything in this phase)  "pretentious-sardonic-droll wannabe-slacker" persona.  And right now I feel like the mentioning of the word "slacker" might confuse someone here.  I know that you might think a slacker is easy to spot by procrastination and typical signs of laziness.  No.  This "pretentious-sardonic-droll wannabe-slacker" is mainly lazy because of the language they choose to use.  While there is effort in coming up with a sarcastic line, there is lack of effort in humanizing what they say.

"looks like your eggo is prego"

that line right there made me despise the movie, Juno.  There is just so much dismissal going on in that one simple line.  A simple line like, "uh oh, you're pregnant" just has so much more sympathy, empathy and truth in it.  But instead let's dismiss all that, let's dismiss what you might be feeling, let's disimss my feelings towards you, let's dismiss a whole conversation we can have about this issue, let's dismiss we are both human beings and hopefully you'll remember I was the one able to deliver that semi-funny sarcastic one liner to you.

To conclude, I am actually damn hooked on that show Weeds, even though there is lots of cynicism in the language, unfortunately.  There are some characters that actually speak like humans.  I dunno... we shall see how much more I am willing to bare just to make it through.
