Once the trash has been gathered and put in the larger bags, tied up snugly, and transferred to the great receptacle in the garage where it waits until the morning to be placed at the curb for the first of two weekly offerings to the Giant Green Truck.
After this has been accomplished, and the sacred coffee-maker is made ready for its morning ritual, the family gathers around the Great Screen to begin the Observance.
The Observance is, of course, the weekly installment of "Dexter" on Showtime. This is when we marvel at the musings of the main character in this morality play, Dexter himself, as he decides who he should kill and how he should meld his normal family into his serial killer life.We snicker at the potty-mouthed detective-sister, the lustful lieutenant in charge and her paramour sergeant, the disgusting and often shunned forensic investigator Masuka, the "dirty cop" Quinn, and so many more.
If you are not a Dexter Adherent, you will not understand the need to follow this story. You will think it mere entertainment and miss the subtlety of the various sub-plots and foibles of the main characters.
We, who understand and relish, forgive you.

I haven't a clue about Dexter, although I understand from friends that it's quite a good show.
Oh, and the bit about the trash collecting? I could've written that, as the same goes on around here. :-)

OMG..we did exactly the same thing last night...the trash thing I mean. We also moved that huge cannister right outside the office door and finished filling it by systematically circling the room and pitching everything OUT. It was just one of those "who needs this stuff that we have worked our lives for"..moments!
I want a large bell which I can ring while chanting, "Bring out your trash! Bring out your trash!!"
Dexter is an absolutely brilliant television series in terms of its writing, cinematography, and acting. I found it to be a little shaky in its quality in the first season, but it has remained consistently top-notch since then 'til now. Definitely one of the best, at least top ten, and if anyone else says otherwise, they don't know what they're talking about. I base this praise on objective viewing of all the mainstream American shows airing now. It is a beautiful work of art.
I always find it so hard to describe TV series to other people without making it sound stupid, or as we teens would call it, lame. Any description just doesn't do it justice.
Which is why I simply take down a name of a show, and vow to watch it, and actually watch it without any prior knowledge of what it's about. People should learn a lesson in giving other things a shot.

Do you hate it too?
