farewell, deadwood



tonight is the final episode of "deadwood." it figures, because it is one of the few things i truly take the time to watch. in the vapid world of television viewing, this one is a gem. ian mcshane is a marvel. the whole cast shines.

the era of the old west has always appealed to me, and this series makes me want to learn even more about the time. the west appears to have been won by greed, murder, and deception. the legacy continues.

in my heritage, there were also robber barons. they were integral in the oil boom in bakersfield, california. my ancestors went from extreme wealth to flat-broke in the course of about 20 years.

I have always been in love with Ian McShane.

He lives in Venice (CA).

If I wasn't such a scaredy cat, I would stalk him.

Love You...
