oo Baby!

The Hemptress is back baby! And you can take that literally cause it turns out my idol Nancy Botwin is knocked up with the drug lords baby. Uh Oh. Hopefully this will prevent him from killing her since she ratted his team out to the Feds. It's pretty obvious the wonderful little empire she was building around her is crumbling. I have to give major props to Mary Louise Parker. She is just such an awesome actress I can FEEL the raw emotion of complete confusion and ludicracy of the situation she has some how gotten into. The character of Andy, Nancy's brother-in-law and sometimes confidant was absolutely hysterical when he took to baking banana bread when coping with the news of Nancy's pregnancy. Cutting bananas into tiny bits scene after scene. I was rolling! Seems as tho the kids are taking on mom's selling business. Even the younger one has taken to selling pot to his teacher while walking the library aisles. I really can't wait to see what develops this season.

Now at the recommendation of two of my good friends I was told I must watch the new show Nurse Jackie. Wow, talk about a crazy show. I just may never go back to a hospital ever again. Seems that nurses are snorting pain killers, forging organ donor cards and I may never look at a packet of sweet 'n lo the same again--drug concealer anyone?

Quick synopsis: Jackie gives us insight into life in the ER from a nurses perspective but things are not exactly what they may seem. Her days at the hospital involve screwing a doctor in the on call room and snorting drugs to keep awake during rotations. She also comes across as blunt yet compassionate towards many of the patients she encounters. It seems to be her own little version of the world where she is doing her best to play G-d and I haven't figured out yet if she is a genius or certifiably insane! Little do we know as the show is about to end, Nurse Jackie walks into her home, sliding her wedding band back into place, greeted by her two small children and doting husband. Damn...

I must confess my secret TV guilty pleasure as embarrassing as it is to admit. I love the show Greek on the Family Channel. I have never been a huge fan of Sororities and Fraternities, but this show makes me yearn for the good old days of college when your only worry was the latest crush, cramming for a mid-term and going to the local bar to drink the night away. It's a really cute, feel good tv show. I think I have a crush on Cappie the leader of the crazy, fun, fraternity. He reminds me of every guy you probably shouldn't have dated in college but did so anyway just because he was sucha blast to be around. The irony is that the Cappie character you can tell has this heart of gold and he so wants to be that stand up guy but he's just having trouble getting there. Still hoping Casey (the ex gf) and Cappie get together.
