The floor has dropped out from beneath me again, and there's the whirlpool of depression and anger.

But I wrote 1,546 words on "Dead Letter Office."

Last night, True Detective, Penny Dreadful, and the final episode of Nurse Jackie, plus a quirky little postmodernish western, John Maclean's Slow West (2015).

Have you enjoyed Nurse Jackie? We have not been able to see either Season Six or Seven, and there is curiosity in how the final seasons stood up to the beginning of the series.

“It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it.”

The Bell Jar remains the only book where the moment I finished reading it I immediately read it again cover to cover. Few books so perfectly create an existence in my head.

I hope the whirlpool stops churning and spits you out with everything intact, including your faculties and your life.

So what did you think of the ending of Nurse Jackie? No real actual reason why I liked this show, superior acting and writing I guess. Funny. Touching. The series ends with Jackie flat on her back after ODing on the heroin she took from the junkie she saved. Fucking awesome, I mean sad and poignant. Really one of the better series enders I have seen. Jackie may not even live. Bravo.

I do not mean to make light. I have a very twisted sense of humor. You lost a friend. I am an addict. I want to be on Oxycodone hydrochloride every day for the rest of my life. I like it. That is why the ending was perfect. It was fucked up and perfect.
