Tonight I watched Life In Cold Blood, the new series from David Attenborough which was specifically about Lizards. Fascinating stuff, beautiful photography with the usual sometimes annoying background music. Some eyebrow-raising Lizards tonight included Australian Sleepy Lizards that mate with a single partner to life and some strongly family-orientated skinks. Last week there was a legless Amphibian segmented like a giant worm. Very pretty.

Boston Legal: "Rescue Me"

I know people on here have said this show is sexist and crude due to the fact James Spader and William Shatner don't get "reprimanded" for their perverse acts but, after seeing tonight's episode I have to say I don't think I've ever been as deeply moved before by this show. Not in this way, not like this episode.

This episode I felt really spoke to me as a college student as it brought up several college issues I believe firmly about and have personal feelings towards. The writing and raw emotion this show presents really makes me surprised people haven't seen what a beautiful program this show really is.

The characters and the humor are grand but this show really says a lot to me as a person, this episode more then ever and while I am sure most people are sick of my philosophical "fancy sounding" semi-emotional drama queen postings on movies and TV shows, I really feel better about me as a person after watching this particular episode and I just wanted to share that with you all.

Would you mind if I ask what it's about? I don't really watch TV anymore, so I haven't really kept up with much besides South Park and Xavier: Renegade Angel when they're on. I'm just wondering if you could tell me what it was about, cause if it's that good and possibly has a topic that interests me since I'm a college student also, I'd like to know what I'm getting in to.

The show usually handles 3 cases at once, in this episode it was 4 with one of them being a humorous subplot. Anyway, the cases involved a distraught woman who had an affair with a priest is suing him for making her lose her faith in God, a woman suing a funeral company for giving her a cubic zirconium ring which she got instead of her mother's dead ashes made into a ring (they can do that btw).

And the one that got me was a woman suing the high school her daughter went to, her daughter was killed falling asleep at the wheel and crashing. She was burnt out on too many courses, after school activities, and worried more about "getting the grade" then sleeping. The reason this spoke to me so deeply is because I hear about this thing ALL the time at my college.

I hear kids talk about staying up to 3 to 4 am to do homework assignments or studying for tests just so they can make perfect honor roll scores and get into great colleges. That bugs me because personally, I can't stand seeing kids fry themselves just to make a score to get into a good college. The episode even pointed out "Since when does high grades equal happiness?"

Kids are so worried about making perfect grades and taking on multiple work loads with full time jobs, striving to rent expensive apartments or homes they barely even visit, and juggling school work all for some stinking high ranking school score card sheet or to satisfy some unnecessary compulsion to be "independent". This episode really hammered in how kids are frying themselves.

And I feel the same way. I myself have a schedule that works out so I can go to work, go to school, have enough time to do my homework AND free time and to me, that's more important then anything. If you can't have time to be yourself and have to sacrifice your identity just to get accepted into trophy case colleges, what's the point in trying? Why even bother if your not you?

Sacrificing sleep and your identity is not worth it, no special recommendation or grade on a college application card is worth negating your existence, individual happiness, and basic REQUIRED sleeping regiments. I really felt this episode summed up all my feelings, concerns, and thoughts pertaining to this school topic and I felt it did a good job coming from a college student/me.

I'm not sure if it's the best episode ever... but OMG it was AWESOME!

That's all under the assumption that humanity will disappear all at once without a cause and without any other appreciable environmental damage.

A healthy does of Beavis and Butt-Head. My collection that I ordered a few days ago came in today and I made short work of the wrapping so I could watch the first of nine disks full of episodes.

Best dang show MTV ever came up with. I haven't bought the series disks yet but I did get the movie some time back. Never gets old.
