Okay, so, The Real World: Brooklyn is a very interesting season of this long-running series.
We've got:
J.D., the gay dolphin trainer (who allegedly slept with CNN Silver-fox Anderson Cooper), who doesn't know his limits when it comes to drinking, and has been known to talk some serious shit or shatter a glass table when he's had a few too many.
Ryan, the Gettysburg Veteran.... completely cute in that American Eagle sort of way, and probably one of the more balanced of the bunch. I loved his ode to Chet when he sang "I Knew My Roommate Was Gay" in the season premiere. Priceless.
Sara, the emo ex-lesbian, avoids confrontation whenever possible. She's had a rough past, and she's sweet, but kind of lacks a backbone when it comes to social interaction or power-struggles. I can relate.
Devyn, the sassy one, is on the phone much too much as far as I can tell from watching the show. She's got additude and speaks her mind. Admirable, but not necessarily reliable.
Chet, the MetroMormon, might be the Ambiguously Gay Duo's rival for ironic ambiguousness. Hailing from Salt Lake, Chester sews his own hot-pink (love it), purple, and baby pink clothing (see photo above). The wannabe-TRL-host is also oddly intrigued by our resident dolphin trainer's Magnum condoms. Pretty gay, right? Nope, just a little Mormon.
Scott, Scott, Scott.... he's SO pretty. And he knows it, but doesn't TOTALLY flaunt it. He's cool with whomever, as long as they're cool with him, and I like that. Abercrombie can also play the game with the roommates (stealing the car keys), but doesn't get consumed by the drama.
Baya, the "tugboat".... seems pretty chill. She wants to dance (Hello, Julia Stiles), and isn't sure whether or not she's ready for the conservatory (*cough*CENTER STAGE*cough*). She doesn't see the big deal in all the other house drama.
Katelynn, the trangender. S(he)'s "a pioneer," as MetroMormon Chet claims. Not necessarily the most likeable character in Brooklyn, but definitely interesting. With the right coaxing or conversation, Katelynn is an open book for anyone willing to listen and not afraid to let it all hang in on a stripper pole....or support beam.
This entire season is proving to be an education tool, mainly for teaching acceptance of transsexuals. And Mormons. Well....
Really, none of the seasons are exempt from having something great to teach people. Throw seven (er, eight) strangers into a house, and a lesson is bound to be learned.
I appreciate the opportunity to play voyeur to these "characters". This season (and maybe in a few seasons passed), the roommates are finding their own jobs, their own careers, their own direction, their own lives. Volunteering with The Center, attending film school, modeling dresses, honing cheesy tv-show hosting abilities, or modeling (droooool...you GO, Scott!)...... every one of the roommates seems to be trying to find their niche. It seems more down-to-earth than, say, a job with all your roommates as a promoter of some Vegas nightclub.
Props to Bunim/Murray for the series, and always managing to keep it interesting.

So I went on a bit of a scavenger hunt this evening to hunt down all the tracks from the Watchmen Motion Picture Soundtrack. The track-listing is as follows:
