Subject: Yo! Are you still watching Breaking Bad? Should I continue past season 2, or quit while I’m ahead?

The first season and a couple of episodes from season 2 (that concluded the Tuco arc) rocked. But now I’m finding myself seriously pissed off at Walt Sr. I won’t spoil anything, but he does some real dickish things in season 2. At first I could get behind the whole “average joe beats the system and fools all the cops” schtick, but I really can’t identify with Walt anymore. He’s not just flawed, he’s twisted, dare I say, evil. And I don’t buy the whole “I’m doing this because I’m too proud to accept charity” schtick anymore.

So, does it get better in season 3, or should I turn off the TV, and step outside a little more often?

Todd,

For an assignment for school, I was perusing the Internet archive and decided to search your site. I did one of the earliest dates possible – some time in 1999. You were selling greeting cards! I got a kick out of it, I thought you might too.

So anyway, I wrote about how last week during the heat wave my decade old air conditioner finally died. And I ordered up a new one online.

This one here:

Seems like a good dealio ($229 with the 10,000 btu whatever that is) and I got free shipping on it too! It arrived the other day and I lugged it up the stairs by myself like macho style! I realized its arrival was forcing me to make a decision about actually shoving my old A/C out the window… or not. If I was going full shove I’d have to prep and move the Vespa etc. Get the cameras ready for the smashdown and safety googles etc. It was gonna be a hassle…

Anyway, I walk up to my sad broken A/C (now dented up by my attempts to fix it with a hammer) and go to turn it on one last time. Since it broke I’ve been in half-denial about it being ‘seriously’ broken. Now and then I’ve been pushing the on button and expecting the compressor to make the deep hum power noise. But it never did. No once. Only straight hot-air fan. I tested it a dozen times over the past few days. It was broken. But this official last time I pushed ON… and ON it went! Full blast! Cold! I was like, ‘WTF!’ You’re… alive?!!’ It hummed happily like it was brand new…
