Question: How do you know when you're too obsessed with Deadwood? For me, it's when I start laughing every time I see a can of peaches.

Post your signs of Deadwoodobsession here.

.......when you go out and buy a new VCR specifically to tape the first season finale when it originally aired. Which I did.

... when you buy a membership to the Museum of Television and Radio so you can buy your tickets early to the Deadwood presentation (Milch, McShane, Olyphant, etc!) at the William S. Paley Festival in March, wake up early on Saturday morning to order online, and then discover that your membership number does not work at all.

Fortunately, I managed to get through on the phone and nab tickets to the Deadwood presentation AND to Veronica Mars, which I suspect weren't nearly as popular as tickets to the Lost and Desperate Housewives presentations. Wheee!

...when you set up your DVR to record an episode of Carnivale that you've already seen and don't plan on rewatching just so you can check if they play the new Deadwood promo before the episode airs.

Luckily they did so I finally saw it!

When you send an e-mail to a few of your friends . . . . accidentally sending it twice . . . . and then send another e-mail stating simply, "I apologize. I apologize." And then getting upset when only one of your friends e-mails you back telling you to shut the fuck up. (They're my friends, they should KNOW these things, shouldn't they?)

...when you're so hell bent on getting the dialogue right for an online discussion you start transcribing the episodes. I tell ya, it was a trip watching the Al blow job scene in slow motion just to get the lines down via closed captioning. The looks on his face!

..when you get seriously fucking mad when the episode ends and you know you have to wait a whole week to see more. No, I mean REALLY mad. Also, am blaming my new predilection to cuss on Deadwood.

And Janie1130, that was a good one! Hah, gotta love Jane.

... when you're watching Carnivale and you start picturing cage matches between characters on the two shows and assuming every Deadwood character would win. (Bullock vs. Hawkins, Garrett vs. Sofie, Wild Bill vs. Evil Preacher, you get the idea.)

I knew I was obsessed when I started calling my kids "squareheads" in honor of Sofia. Also, muttering cocksucker under my breath in traffic! I'd never uttered that word before and now I'm on the freeway screaming---fucking cocksucker! And of course I now think of CJ's line anytime someone says, "be well".

Poppaea, you are one lucky Hooplehead! Please report back!

I will absolutely give a full report of the Deadwood presentation. It's either on the 13th or the 17th of March.

My husband is reluctant to go, because he believes that looking "behind the curtain" damages his enjoyment of a show. I have to admit, I've never been able to look at Spike on "Buffy" the same way since I learned that James Marsters is a) older than me, and b) from Modesto, California. Or is it Mr. Sark who is from Modesto? I always forget.

Anyway, I hope that seeing the writers and actors in person will only make me love the show more.

I knew when I haven't seen the actual show in several months, but the DVD commercial came on and I literally got up and started dancing and thinking about dressing up as Trixie for Halloween.

Yeah. This show's got me bad.

OK, so I bought the DVD of last season, and I do not own a DVD player.

But I will. Someday I will.

I do...

...call my kids "Hoopleheads"
...use "fucknuts" at every appropriate chance.
...every time my boss says who? I immediately reply "Wu".

I'll never forget a few months back a fairly straightlaced female friend/coworker of mine finished dealing with a particularly difficult customer, and muttered under her breath (after he left) "cocksucker". She immediately looked up at me and said "...sorry, I watched Deadwood last night". We became better friends...

...you start watching the show for the first time on In Demand and have to limit yourself to 2 to 3 episodes a day and are fretting over the fact that 2 episodes seem to be missing from the available shows.

...you get in your car and say to yourself "where the fuck are my gloves."

I went to visit my sister in Dallas this weekend. She made me sit down and watch her DVD's of the first season of Deadwood. Because of this, the Word-Of-The-Day is.....

Cocksucker!

I'm going out tonight and buy the 1st season for myself. We don't get HBO, so this is going to be a difficult obsession.

I've got two:

You change your cross-country vacation plans specifically to include Deadwood. Then break out into giggles when the breakfast buffet has a big bowl of canned peaches.

It takes all your strength of will not to tell difficult customers they have a face like a cunt.
