I might be 'damaged' but she's an evil bitch.

As you may or may not know, i love Dexter ( season over long time ago) and Californication (season over even longer) but i have found a new intrigue on TV besides another glorious rendition of some reality show featuring 'fat bastards and snarky botoxed bitches'.

I tuned in last week to watch Damages with Glenn Close and i have to say i'm intrigued. I didn't laugh once and there were no fun penis jokes or crazy writers or honest serial killers instead i found something much more tangible 'cynical evil lawyers'. Now i'm not saying this to be judgemental; my dad was a lawyer and i know for a fact that like many people who know a good lawyer well, not a hack but a good lawyer you're usually pretty sure that if they're not related directly to Satan they are a not too far distant cousin.

Now i love my dad, and i generally like lawyers (call me crazy - it's early imprinting) but Glenn Close in damages makes ice look warm. She's icy, bitchy, scary and you think her vagina might actually eat people. Here's the thing though; bad guys are bad you know; they walk bad, talk bad, often even smell bad so you know bad is walking down the street towards you. Not so with almost insane, genius lawyers, nope- they can put on that uplifting practiced face, put there hand on your shoulder and squeeze it and make you feel loved and moments later stab you in the back while they explain how they've been planning this since two years ago, and man are you a moron. uh huh.

I like the show, i dare say it's smart. Put it makes me feel worse about humans than the idea of a serial killer. Why? Because althought Dexter is killing, he is fact deranged. He was brought up thinking and justifying his acts, he found a way to make his insanity sane. Here is a lawyer who is fighting for the little guy and killing mangy dogs to get what she needs to get an airtight case. Odd? Or exactly what is needed?And come on, every writer knows when you cross the kill and animal line, you've gone over a bridge you can't rebuild. Yep she's nasty, she kills dogs whilst being a dog owner. I'm not convinced i think she might rent her dog so she can run into competing lawyers at the dog park. I'm telling you with smart, razor sharp lawyers anything is possible. To an accomplished lawyer the art of lawyering is about masterful revenge; skillfully executed.

So one might think that Posh is a skinny bitch (which by the way i don't) most of us are in fact damaged in some way or another, but this is the real deal: a woman who earns her bread by making mincemeat of others while wearing power suits and a laser type glance that may in fact peel paint off walls if targeted correctly.

A real smart bitch is worth watching; it makes me wonder how many people plot and plan in their lives which is a little unsettling but I'm just happy i finally have something popcorn worthy that isn't a rerun...and doesn't involved fat people trying to lose weight or loose people trying to get laid.
