Nasty Winter Weather

January 20th, 2008 by Grayson's Daddy

Yesterday was a pretty nasty winter day around here. We had lots of rain with a mixture of snow and sleet which certainly doesn’t allow for much to be done outside. So, yesterday, BM and I spent the day doing something we haven’t done for a while - spent the day watching TV.

For those that don’t know, we have an AppleTV which you can think of as a pimped out ipod for your TV. It is a small box that hooks up to your TV and takes your pictures, music, TV Shows, YouTube, and Videos from your computer and puts them on your TV. I think Apple just lowered the price of the entry level version to about $230 and you can now rent downloadable movies. But, I digress.

A friend of ours turned us on to a Showtime Series called Dexter. Basically, Dexter is a forensics blood splatter specialist with the Miami PD. But, he is also a serial killer of killers. Michael C. Hall (the gay brother from Six Feet Under) does a fantastic job playing a serial killer that you can’t help but appreciate.

Speaking of Six Feet Under, we loved that show as well. I must say, the creativity of shows coming out of HBO (Six Feet Under, John From Cinicinati, Deadwood, Rome, Entourage, Sopranos, Carnivale, etc) and Showtime (The L Word, Weeds, Dexter, etc) is amazing. It puts the network TV shows to shame and has certainly found a place on our DVR and Apple TV.

Long story short, we watched all 12 hours of Dexter Season 2 yesterday and loved it. If you are interested in watching an episode to see what you think, you can download any or all of the first season in iTunes.

Hopefully, the writers strike will end on a positive note and the shows we have grown to love will kick back into full gear.

Nothing much about baby here, except that the baby enjoyed a day of doing absolutely nothing except watching a show about some crazy serial killer - cause that’s the kind of parents we are :)
