tv

• baby's first episode of The L Word -- the one where Tina has her baby, so the Season 2 finale, 2.13 "Lacuna" -- only episode #26 and it was a lot, but honestly my impression is that any episode of The L Word is a lot
  
  Friends I was staying with were rewatching it, and I knew I'd never seen it in part because we didn't have cable, but I had assumed I was also a little too young for it whereas arguably I'm a little too old for it, as it began airing my junior year of college (I had also forgotten that Grey's Anatomy premiered the following year -- I knew friends younger than me watched it at college, but I also had in my head that it had started before I got to college)
