Weeds is a new tv series from Showtime about a suburban housewife selling pot in a wealthy California town. Really, it's about how to survive in suburbia. For example, the theme song is all about how every house and ever suburbanite is the same. Then you dig into the content of the show and the people are all distinguishing themselves in unique ways. It stars the rockin' Mary-Louise Parker (Fried Green Tomatoes, Angels in America), plus a bitchy Elizabeth Perkins, an actually clever Kevin Nealon, and a big ensemble cast. Excellent show. I can't wait for season 2.

I'm glad you liked Weeds. It's so good! Now Dan & Jenny want to borrow it because I've talked to them about it so much. Do you have the theme song stuck in your head? I find I start humming it very often.
I just watched Donnie Darko, in an unrelated note. Loved it. Good advice on that one.
ha. i didn't mean to be mysterious.
