Speaking of pleasurable things

Hey, don't get me wrong - maybe a little lotus eating is okay once in awhile...


Plus, when the price on the first and second seasons of The Wire seems to have dropped considerably - currently, buying the two separately costs far less than the combo pack, how can I say no?

I have this trigger effect when it comes to buying things. Above a certain point, it's no way. Below that point, it's automatic. Anyway, in case you haven't seen them, they are very good, albeit with typical pay-cable language and sex. There's a scene in season one that consists solely of the verb, noun, adverb and exclamative forms of the anglo-saxon to plough. It's super-affected, but that's a rarity for these writers. Forgive them the occasional lapse, and you get some of the best characters and developing story-lines around, all laced with a pretty good sense of humor, too.
