Another Addiction

There is this show out there in tv land called Law and Order: SVU, while I have never been one to watch too many shows on TV on a regular basis this show has me hooked. Lillian, who you have read about many times before, is the one who first turned me on to this show. While it can be disturbing at times, it is a show that has a huge impact.

I am also not one to get too wrapped up in the stories of shows,and perhaps it is the graphic and mentally disturbing issues dealt with on the show that I have a hard time leaving my emotion at the door, but this program draws me in every time. Chalk it up to good writing, excellent acting, or just good show production I don't care, I find it amazing that I look forward to watching it every time I have a chance.

More proof that I am addicted to this show is that I have now identified with one of the characters. You have no idea how rare and unusual this is for me, it feels kinda weird. The character is Detective John Munch. I did not even like this guy for a long time and he started to grow on me, and then an episode I saw last week while my foot was all mangled and I had nothing else to do really changed my view on him and I saw big similarities between him and I. It is the episode where the whole team is getting their bi-yearly psych evaluations. Det. Munch doesn't like to talk about his personal life at all and makes jokes to get around doing it at all costs. I don't know if I make jokes to get around it, but I certainly avoid all topics of a personal nature. That is a no talkie zone. So Munch then tells the doctor to tell him what she thinks he is like. Here is where it got a little creepy, like they were looking into my life; she told him that he believed in "true love" but the idea that he would never find it was an unbearable burden. When he agreed with her, I was in front of my tube screaming "me too me too". Ahh the frustrations of knowing true love exists but having that knowledge only from observation.

So ends my documentation of this new found addiction in my life, but I guess it could be worse, right? Oh and on a final note I have discovered that DuckTales and Rescue Rangers come on everyday at 11:30 and noon respectively, this is a definite pick me up to my daily routine as of right now. Eat your hearts out you healthy people you.
