I don't have cable tv. I'm actually quite
against getting cable tv and definitely think my life is better off without it. I don't have to sit through hours of advertisements tricking me into buying things I don't need and I don't have to run my life around when my favourite shows are programmed. That being said - I
do enjoy buying seasons of tv shows and I often get addicted to them (which is wonderful since I can watch them ad free whenever I'd like). One show I'm quite fond of is dexter. I wasn't sold on becoming a fan of this one (after all it's about a serial killer in miami) but after getting season one in a sale bin for $12.99 I'm officially hooked. I've now blown through seasons 1-4 and am patiently waiting for season 5 to be released. A few of my coworkers share my passion for dexter and even if we do disagree on some things (like how much I dislike rita), I'm sure we would all agree that this
dexter themed dining room from elle decor is pretty neat (and pretty creepy too). Take a look:
Those pops of red on white are stunning but the whole plastic lined floor thing is just a bit much for me. Check out a few detail shots:
I'm not quite at the fan stage to start redecorating my house based on it, but I think it would be super fun to throw a dexter themed party! Hey - I could even make
dexter blood slide suckers from instructables:
Fun! And yes...very disturbing too. But if you haven't given dexter a try I certainly recommend it! As for myself, I've been catching up on a few other seasons while I'm waiting for dexter season 5 to be released. So far I've watched (and re-watched in some instances) flight of the conchords, freaks and geeks, fringe, black books, smallville, glee, and sex and the city - all perfect companionship for my hours and hours of crafting on the couch. Anyone else a dexter fan out there? Or any fun show recommendations for me? I'm all ears...er...eyes I guess...
we have cable...but never watch it. we keep it for my mom (we live with her). we always watch shows on DVD (south park, kenny vs spenny, twin peaks, arrested development).
ReplyDeletei also watch a lot of shows online while crafting! lately i have gotten into dexter! i really like it. the other show i have been watching is modern family. it is really funny :)
I think the picture over the mantel is the creepiest of all creepy. Maybe it is just me, but I'm not a fan of a pieced, blood spattered canvas that creates an artful representation of a decimated body.
ReplyDeleteYou got an unfortunate? What the heck? I like Dexter - and dislike Rita - and I think I watch a bunch of those other shows too. I am currently watching season two of Arrested Development. And are you really rewatching ALL of Smallville? Aren't there, like, a hundred seasons of that? :)
ReplyDeleteLet's make those suckers in May!
Hematophobiac. I bet ONE of your readers is a little queezy when there is blood, hence the unfortunate...especially when its on the backs of chairs. Time to up the awesome factor.
ReplyDeleteEEEK! While I was reading your gruesome blog, I heard the weird eerie sound upstairs and wondered if Percy had finally gone over to the dark side! It sounded like a glass bottle rolling across the floor, So up the stairs I go. Here it was a new toy I bought him today! Three little plastic ball with bells in them! . You can hear what ever you went when you are reading creepy blogs!
ReplyDeleteI have never watched Dexter but I am very like you in tv watching habits. I get things in box sets and watch them obsessively after everyone else has seen them usually!
ReplyDeleteI also love Black Books! I didn't know there was interest in it accross the water.
