Entourage & True Detective

I allocated a bunch of couch time a couple weeks ago to watch Entourage from start to finish (S1 - S8).  I realized why I liked it so much when it aired: the close friendships and adventures.  It's why I like Swingers and Point Break as well.  It kind of left me deflated after the last episode, the fact that while I came closer than most, it doesn't look like that will ever be my reality.



And then the last week I watched True Detective, which is excellent and one of the first TV dramas I've watched in a long time.  Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson were great, and I've realized I've taken on a bit of a Rust Cohle role in my apartment.  I've been pacing in darkness and in silence, with laundry & dishes neglected, chasing Advil with Coronas, spending a lot of time thinking about life, my place in it, and where I'm going. 

Oh, and it has a great theme song, selected by T Bone Burnett, performed by Chicago band The Handsome Family.
