Ideal
I feel like I have been dropping the ball on the MtC blog but I haven't been to any movies lately. I haven't read any books lately. I haven't heard any new good music lately.
I have downloaded and watched the first three episodes of a new BBC3 comedy called "Ideal" or "I Deal" depending how you look at it. If you happen to be reading this in England, then you can watch it on the telly but if you are like me, you have to use your mad 1337 interweb skillz.
Ideal is the story of Moz, an English drug dealer. The comedy takes place entirely in his apartment and concerns his life and those he deals to. He is having trouble with his live-in girlfriend, infatuated with a college student named China who said in the second episode "You know if I slept with you it would only be out of pity." Moz's reply "What are we waiting for then?"
The oddest character is Cartoon Head, a hitman who wears a mouse mask who may be responsible for the series of murders in the neighborhood. There is also a subplot of a new dealer two streets over who is getting all the good stuff.
I have the first three on DVD. If you are in Athens and want to watch, I'll lend it to you. Otherwise, you better boot up your bittorent client and get to the downloading.

Hey, that sounds good. Sort of "The Office" meets "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels."
I wouldn't mind borrowing those, Chip, if you still got 'em...
