Just downloaded a coupla eps. from HBO's "True Detective". From what I gather there's a Lovecraft/Robert Chambers vibe going on, hope it's worth the hype.

i've really been enjoying true detective. the pacing is slow as molasses, appropriate for the setting, and the characters and performances are rich and top-drawer. it's kind of hard to believe that in 20 years mcconaughey has never had a regular tv series role, and what with him killing it in the movies this year, he's also got this one going? a dude has a major renaissance, it's cool to watch.

Thank must not be the Mcconaughey  I was thinking of.

Nope, never mind, it is.  I could have sworn he was in something.  Clearly, Choop was right.

OH MY GOD this anime I am watching "Welcome to the NHK," is so awesome. It's about a 22 year old college drop out and recluse (hikikomori) trying to get back out into everyday life. Really awesome. Definitely silly sometimes, but for example, this scene I just watched was about him trying to go back to school but starts having a panic attack. This is so, so good.

I have been intending to check "Welcome to the NHK" for ages now, will do it most promptly (speaking of anime, "Psycho-Pass" is really cool, heady mix of Blade Runner, William Gibson and assorted cyberpunk goodiness).

And yeah - "True Detective" is the shit. 3rd episode had mucho delicious dialogue. I'm "hooked", as the parlance goes.

Maybe the best yet. This show has the coolest animation.

My roommate's girlfriend poked her head in and yelled "DON'T BECOME A WEEABOO" at me, so you can tell she's really fun to have hanging around the house.

I didn't realize this at first, but it's kind of like an anime Groundhog Day.

Oh yeah, that is a good one.

I just started this one which is a silly series basically about middle management in Hell. I am now in the middle of like three different things and can't figure out a good way to keep track. First world problem, I know.

Nothing else I could say would make more sense given what I own and what I am doing at this moment.

What else? I think there was one thing I looked at and it wasn't as awesome, but I can't remember now.

That is some damn strong praise by comparison.
