Eh, why not?  This looks like fun...



1. I once ate an entire salad using a hair comb instead of a fork.
2. My father has turned down a nomination for president of a foreign country.
3. Back in Russia we had an exotic pet, which we couldn't bring to the States.

And another one, just for the heck of it.  (Shamelessly stealing the idea from mijan.)

1. The first phrase in English I ever learned was "Have you had your break today?"
2. I have had to repeat the first grade.
3. Me, my sister, and my other sister share a mom, but we're all from different marriages.



Ironically, jedipirate and I were just talking about this game earlier.  Or, more specifically, we were talking about an Oz fic where the game is featured.  If you're a fan of the show, you should absolutely take a moment and read this:

"Two Truths and a Lie" (Beecher/Keller, R; short) by Adastra.  It's angsty, maybe even a little heart-breaking... but it is gorgeously written.

I know I like it, but I'm not sure how much: at least enough to definitely see the next couple episodes, but not enough yet to set it on my TiVo to manual deletion.

It does remind me somewhat of Oz — and not just for the obvious reasons — which is certainly a good sign.  It has potential (and a definite HBO vibe, despite being on FX).  Feels like some good character drama...  Plus, I've always enjoyed plots involving criminal/authority tensions, as well as gang and/or racial conflicts and such.  Oh, and Wikipedia says it's loosely based on Hamlet, which is pretty cool.

Also?  The guy that plays Jax is rather hot.  So there is that.


So, anybody else out there watch this show?  Wanna talk about it?  Tell me what I've missed so far?  ...Or hey, if you've got nothing else to say — tell me what you are watching.  I'm sorta curious.
