Saya sendiri di rumah sedang kebanjiran dua hal:
1. Buku bacaan novel bahasa Inggris (bapak saya lagi rajin beliin yang kayak beginian, :) )Diantara yang banjir ini, manakah yang paling banjiiir?
2. DVD acara barat (ini sih anaknya yang maksa, wkwkwk)
Jawabannya, DVD bajakan. Maklum, saya beli di Mangga Dua. Satu DVD, lima ribuuu~, tancep aja :D. Mana banyak acara-acara "nganeh-nganehi" yang enggak mungkin saya ketemuin di tempat lain lagi (kecuali Glodok, mungkin :p) saking memang kurang "mainstream".. atau udah kelamaan. Sementara buku, sebanjir-banjirnya, tetap aja... satu buku mahalnya minta ampun. Apalagi kalau beli edisi hardcover (nah lho malah curhat).
Dan acara-acara yang tidak beruntung sehingga terpaksa saya beli adalaaaah.....
Breaking Bad
(AMC, 2007 - now)
buying: 3 seasons, 8 disc.
resume (based from the back of DVD):
Breaking Bad is a darkly comic drama that captures life at moment of irrevocable change. In the ultimate mid-life crisis, high school chemistry teacher Walter White takes a match to his straight-laced existence and concocts a criminal new lifestyle.

With a new sense of fearlessness and desperate to secure his family's financial future, Walter teams up with a former student to turn a used Winnebago into a rolling meth lab. Released from the daily concerns and constrains of normal society, Walter transforms from repressed everyman into empowered enterpenteur
cast: Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Eposito, Jonathan Banks.
reason to buy this DVD: I usually heard from webs that this show is damn good. So I give them a try. And... Bryan Cranston is always, always, always being announced as the "Outstanding Lead Actor in Drama" in every single Emmy, so I wonder what's so good about him until he make a very,very,hard three-peat (when all the nominees are striking out, IMHO)
have watched it?: The Pilot. And I know exactly why Bryan Cranston got his Emmy just by watch it. I guess I'll stick to this show <3.
buying: 1 seasons, 7 disc.
resume (based from the back of DVD):

cast:Anna Torv, John Noble, Joshua Jackson, Lance Reddick, Kirk Acevedo, Blair Brown, Jasika Nicole, Mark Valley
reason to buy this DVD: My online friend suggest it. And my friend said that it's similar to Bones ( a show which I liked), but they add some sci-fi. Sounds intresting.

buying: 1 seasons, 4 disc.
resume (based from the back of DVD):

reason to buy this DVD: I actually watched it at FX. After a few tries, I kinda like this show... but the time slot is suck. I am usually still outside my house at 6 PM.
have watched it?: I haven't watch the DVD, but I have watch Fife G and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. And tell me, it is boring, unless you really, really understand it. But when you understand it, you'll love it. And by the way, have I mentioned how beautiful the series is?
