For you

My ex used to like it so we watched it every Wednesday (or was it Tuesday) and I like Richard Belzer, Ice-T, and Christopher Meloni for their versatility as actors. I didn't know Richard Belzer and Ice-T did much acting, Belzer and Ice-T being more cameo actors beforehand, and Meloni, well Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Wet Hot American Summer, case closed. But yeah, that was like 14 years ago. I can't believe this is still on and that people still watch it. From what little I recall, the show's writing had the memory of a goldfish, which was fine for regular Law and Order, but not when you're making attempts to really flesh out your characters and everybody seems to wake up next week like a weird Cop-based Truman Show, forgetting everything.

Fucking casuals.

Hahahaha.. probably just as well that I don't have 'em myself, but I didn't think it was a crime to do this. Hell, that's about the size of the space that I have, and I don't even have a door! Just a curtain.

I asked one of the kids at the bus stop why she never wears mittens in the winter and her reason was "Well I can't find them and every time I ask my mom to help find them she's too busy with her World Of Warcraft".

D: I guess every generation has its stories like that, whether it's dad watching the game, mom too busy out shopping.. but still. These people should not have kids. Just like a marriage, you devote the hours you're not at work to your significant other, if my ex was missing so much as a hairclip I'd drop everything I was doing and help her search for it. And we were in our mid-to-late 20s! Then again, if I was missing a shoe or something, she probably wouldn't have helped me.. one of the myriad reasons I'm glad the marriage ended.

It's funny because I have the opposite story to this scene's set-up. I was living in a house that was also a low income second and third floor (basically a halfway house.) We stayed in the first floor and never ever talked to or knew who our upstairs neighbors were. And there was this guy who used to walk around off-campus who everybody called "Old Man Death." I always felt bad about calling him that, because who knows what made him that way, but imagine the meanest-looking old man scowl you've ever seen and double it. One night/morning at around 4AM or so I heard all these yelling and grunting and hitting noises, and sort of figured someone was watching an action movie and it'd be over in a minute, but nope. It kept going until I figured someone was playing a video game way too loud, and none of us could sleep through it.

So I went upstairs and knocked, and lo! It was Old Man Death in the flesh (literally: All he had on was a pair of tighty whities.) And I was just speechless as he was glaring at me, and I just asked "uhh.. do you think you can keep the video games down?" He scowls and says "I DON'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES!" and slams the door on me.

D: D: ! Nice!

I'm not totally in the camp that gaming addicts are necessarily "bad people". I know people get pulled into them so far that they lose sense of what's important in life for certain stretches of time. I was guilty of it for a time myself. But when it comes to parenting, parents need to know the dangers of losing sight of new responsibilities. This does NOT mean that being a parent is the only priority in one's life but it does mean you need to constantly be aware that someone dependent on you and your care.

I remember an episode about 2nd Life, another one about GTA, and yet another where they solved a girl's murder by playing video games with a retarded boy.
