No earthquake or hurricane can stop The Lineup!

The Lineup: August ‘11

What I can’t live without: E, Vinny, Drama, Turtle & Ari Motherf**king Gold.  The 8^th and final season of Entourage is currently on and it is the most ambitious season (in terms of writing) yet.  Gone are the adolescent jokes and pranks and instead we have actual drama (no pun).  Don’t get me wrong, you still get your fill of laughs but this season is the most emotional and personal.  Definitely going out on a high note.

(Related: Curb Your Enthusiasm – Larry David is simply operating on a higher level this year. Might be the best season ever.)

(UNrelated: True Blood – this will be the final season that I’ll be watching.)

Analyze This.

It’s kind of funny actually.  If I’m visiting someone’s place for the first time and I’m in their living room, one of the first things that I do is check out their DVD collection.  I’ll notice them from my seat and like a moth to a flame I’m pulled from my seat, eyes wide with excitement.  I can easily spend 5 minutes hunched, surveying each item. (If I know the person well, I’m liable to grab a few and read the backs of the cases.)  This quirky little habit of mine continues to entertain me because one, I am a movie buff, and two, I discovered that you can learn a lot about someone based on the DVD’s that they own.

An entire river of consciousness...

Blocked.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do in the world is write.  I’m not talking about adverbs or discovering a synonym to help articulate a particular thought, I’m referring to the simple concept of finding an idea to write about.
