Several hundreds of university text books. Free time. Easily over 60% finished. I'm committed. Just never have the time.

I'd either put it toward a semester abroad or try to make a dent in the ol' Amazon wishlist.

I started last year, obviously with the pilot episode. Okay, so the original Lt. was sort of a bum. And yeah, the last scene is bad. But wow. See, the magic with Vice is that it manages to achieve something no other show has. It has both extreme novelty (it's widely acknowledged as SO or THE 80s show), as well as fantastic timelessness. The struggles, the deals, the people, and most of all the "it's not what I do, it's who I am". For five years Eddy Olmos and crew ruled the streets, and Miami, nay the world, was a better place. Better clothes, better hair, better cars, better music, better sex, better bad guys, better safety, better television. It was inventive, artistic, alive, and emotional. Not just a cop show like no other, an artistic experience that stands alone to this day.

I don't need to defend my vice. Vice defends itself, in a white testarossa and a sport jacket.
