Random thought: I like Amy, despite the fact that she can be quite irritating and clueless, but I wish Tyler would stop being her doormat.
and that's very exciting-- I had no idea! I'm really looking forward to it! "Consider Helen" was my favourite episode from last season, and Diane Ladd should have been nominated for a slew of awards.
Also Californication was surprisingly good even though i hated the last season. i hope they finaly get shit done, i want Hank to sober up and be the good man he tries so hard to be.
