THIS WEEK ON Dexter: Nebraska
Dexter rolled out this week with his bro 4 life, and afterlife. It was a switch I didn’t see coming. If this was an RPG, it would be a totally arduous but ultimately rewarding side-quest. It didn’t add to the main narrative, but it was an interesting sojourn. Plus!, the loot was fantastic. Dexter gained two talent points that he could place in Sanity, which is clutch.

Brad Pitt Says He’ll Retire From Acting In Three Years. Tyler, No!
Despite the fact that he married one of Hollywood’s more annoying ladies (to me at least) and he has commodified children from other cultures with her, I enjoy Brad Pitt’s acting. If what he is saying is more than bluster, I won’t be for much longer.

THIS WEEK ON Walking Dead: Chupacabra
We start this week’s walking dead with more flashbacks. I don’t know if I’m softening or if its getting a little better, but I didn’t hate this flashback. Of course it could be because it involved one of my fantasies, firebombing Atlanta. So we’re treated with a little prequel about how our merry band started and then is off to the land of the dead. Oh, almost forgot to add the heavy handed reminder that Shane banged Lori and told her and Carl that Rick was dead. Can’t forget that, it might come up later.
Friday Brew Review: Double Mocha Porter
In my most cherished fantasies, I’m a member of Rogue Squadron. That’s right, if you see me crashing into the mailbox during a mid-drive daydream, I’m probably imagining myself nosediving into the Death Star’s exterior. As the suburban townsfolk yell and scream and cry in the hopes of getting my car off of their lawns, I can only hear Biggs and Wedge and Porkins egging me on. The cops throw down spike strips, and my tires blow out, and all I do is turn up the radio and mutter, “Stay on target.”
It’s this wonderful hallucination of being a bad-ass space-rebel that helps me cope with the fact that I’m nothing more than a sci-fi lovin’ scamp of a man.
Also helping me get through the ennui of my regularly-scheduled quarter-life crises is beer. Sweet, bitter, dark and fizzy beer. On Fridays I make a point to try a new beer, thereby expanding my palate and giving me a deeper basis-for-comparison well.
Tonight, I’m combining my yearning for intergalactic adventure and beer-lust by sipping on the Rogue Brewery’s Double Mocha Porter.
