In the last few months I have developed two new obsessions: Deadwood and The Tudors.
Both of these are wonderful programs, interesting and filled with historical detail and costumes and olde tyme steamy scandals.
But as both of these shows are also available to me on DVD, I'm beginning to understand what a crack addict feels like: all you want to do is crack...or watch The Tudors, whichever.
I've worked past my Deadwood addiction just slightly by consuming every single episode there was.
The show on DVD is the bane of good intentions-how can you really get much work done knowing that there are multiple episodes just waiting for you to watch them, calling out your name as you try to plug through some tedious task? How can you possibly limit yourself to just one episode, knowing there's a whole season just sitting on your Tivo? How do people ever stop impulses without parents or other authority figures around telling them that dammit, they have to?
Part of me thinks the answer with this new obsession is to just get it out of my system...by just letting it all into my system.
That might just be the addict talking, though...

The Truth About This Special Time In Your Life
According to what we remember from pamphlets geared towards 6th-grade girls, puberty is regarded as one of the most awkward and scary stages in a person’s life. It’s a time of horrifying physical transformations, scary new feelings, and growing interest in activities that you are still not old enough to engage in legally. Common symptoms of puberty include: braces, frizzy hair, baby fat, having a crush on 8th grader Steve Julius, blinding body odor and lame extracurricular interests like the violin or Bedazzling.
However, if personal experience has taught us anything, it's that there are experiences in life far more awkward, scary and pathetic than puberty. Here is a list of things that are:
WORSE THAN PUBERTY
