i really have not been watching too much tv lately. sadly, when i do turn it on, all i tend to watch is that...dance crew show. its always. fucking on. and i catch the occasional scrubs episode. which is the shiz. some southpark too. but you hardly ever see it on tv, so i turn to the internet to satisfy my retinas.
i like the writing styles of Kurt Vonnegut, George Orwell, David Sedaris, H.G. Wells, and Peggy Parish for her genius in writing Amelia Bedelia: the book series that got me started. as well as Douglas Coupland for Eleanor Rigby and Life after God.Pwwwnnn.
