Cold And Norwegian

This is my second weekend of watching the Deadliest Catch marathon on Netflix. By now the show for me has transformed from a mere distraction to get through the boring weekend to an obsession! For the short time I had basic cable at the corporate apartment I occasionally watched the show when it was on but never thought that I'd actually turn into an avid fan! Captain Sig is actually a very likable character, not in a warm and fuzzy kind of way but more like a rational and stern parent who you eventually comes to love and respect. Season 3 is by far the best one I've watched so far. The ending episode when the captain gave the young greenhorn the the NW jacket off his back was so moving I teared up like a 13-year-old girl watching the Titanic. Now with the Kindle in hand there's nothing stopping me for the "one-click" impulse purchase of the Captain Sig's bestseller: North by Northwestern! Now I'm tempted to buy souvenirs on their website. The "Norwegian Way" appeals would be perfect for this town! Maybe that's why I enjoy the show: cold and Norwegian, just like here! This is just sickening.
