A pox upon My Genius Friend Dave!

I mean, a harmless pox. I don't want bad things to happen to him for real. Like maybe a Chicken Noodle Soup Pox. That makes him crave Chicken Noodle Soup for, like, a minute and a half.

Anyway, the reason for my impotent rancor is My Genius Friend Dave likes to get me addicted to things. The reason I got addicted to computers in the late '90s is because the scoundrel GAVE me my first computer! (That treacherous villain!) And as with everyone else, once I got use to using the thing, I became irrevocably dependent upon it.

Of course, the computer did give me my girlfriend... And allows me a means to communicate with her...

But STILL...

My Genius Friend Dave got me hooked on THE DRESDEN FILES, too. He plied me with copies of the episodes as they aired (starting at the end of the season) until I HAD TO watch ALL the episodes.

Then somehow (I don't even remember how now -- probably Wikipedia) I discovered that the TV series was based on a series of books. So I had to read them, too.

Vicious miscreant!

But I got him BACK!!! I gave him his first Dresden novel, which got HIM hooked, too! So Justice was, after a fashion, served there.

But then he gave me a copy of the pilot for a new USA series called BURN NOTICE. And I just watched it.

And now I'm hooked.

Consarn it.

After the pilot I'm ACHING to see the first episode!!!

It's a GOOD SHOW!!!

You gotta love a clever hero, and this cat's clever!

It's a bit like watching CASINO ROYALE, but with tons of background T&A. Very nice. (The show takes place in Miami.)

But it's not on iTunes, so I have to wait for my dealer to hook me up with my next fix.

I'll live. But why must My Genius Friend Dave addict me! I mean, sure, it's a bit like accusing him of making me addicted to a healthy diet and profitable investment habits, as he never gets me addicted to anything that's not super cool. But STILL!
