Stuart Alan Jones!

Despite my best intentions, I did not go home last night and clean the bathroom. Instead I went home and watched another 3 episodes of The Wire. That show is eating my brain. Proof of my obsession can be seen in the hissyfit I threw when the disc stopped working at the VERY EXCITING CLIMAX of one of the episodes: after screaming at the DVD player, I spent the next 20 minutes attempting to trick the DVD into playing, before giving up and finding a recap somewhere.

Although I now love the show, and although people all over the place kept saying it was the best thing ever, I probably never would have gotten around to watching it if it weren't for one thing:

SFC: Season 3 of The Wire is coming out on DVD
Me: Stuart Alan Jones!
SFC: What?

Yes, that's right, my love of Stuart Alan Jones (from the UK Queer As Folk) is so great that I started watching Season 1 of The Wire simply because Aidan Gillen joined the cast in Season 3.
