What Are You Currently Watching (on tv/dvd)?

[Rebecka Fan]

at my house, we have 7 tv's and each is hooked up to a cable box, digital cable box and we have 7 vcr's (we're old school) and my mum tapes on 6 and watches on 1 TV. so we have 6 tv programs taping and 1 being watched. and this is almost everyday! this is all for my mum. you think i watch a lot of tv, my mum is such a couch potato, i'm worried about her. she seems quite content and happy, I guess that's OK, but i'm still worried that she's not doing much else.

How old is she, Kyle (if you don't mind me asking)?


We've got 4 VCRs, and 4 DVD players (one of which is a recorder too). It was 5, but one of mine blew up just over a week ago!

I feel positively underpriveliged. There are only 3 TVs, 2 cable boxes, and 2 dvd/vcr recorder/players at my place.
Then again there are only 2 of us here.

Ordered Sugar Rush through Ebay today. A bit pricey at $70au (incl postage), but there are 2 series of 10 half hour episodes so for around 10 hours of sugar I don't mind. Seller was in Qld.

52 and she won't mind. She tells anyone who'll listen, how old she is.

[Ian]

lol Well, I don't know, Kyle. You could try and (subtly!) suggest she get out more, but if she is happy, there's not a lot you can do.

SFJ! Thats like 35quid? I got the same in HMV today for 15quid. Postage from Qld must be extortionate

I also managed to purloin a copy of Julie Burchill's book "Made in Brighton" (subtitle 'From the Grand to the Gutter: Modern Britain as seen from beside The Sea'). Published 2007. In her true opinionated polemic style she sets the social, political, economic, sexual, and media context of Brighton, in which of course her creation "Sugar Rush" was based.

I had to rationalise it on a $/min basis without looking at the whole cost, only then could I allow my conscience to fall asleep while I went ahead with the purchase.

I have no other defence apart from my widely acknowledged insanity, and thanks for reminding me of that.

Fish, between the $50 it cost me for the pirate version (not knowing it was out officially, and then the git ripped me off by missing out an episode) and the $110 it cost me to have the real thing imported from Germany, it cost me $160 in total to get hold of the 80s kids tv series The Little Vampire on dvd (about 13 25-minute episodes).


Bow down before the KING of insanity!

I bow in awe before the KING.

There are fleeting moments when an opportunity may present itself, when your need for fulfillment is fuelled by an overload of endorphins, when your wallet and associated plastic cards are only of secondary consideration, when your brain goes into bypass mode and you just say f*ck it, I'm doing this thing. These times are what seperates us from lesser creatures.

Many's the time I've chided my Neanderthal friends about not "seizing the moment", and to a one their response has been the same, "Grunt". I mean what sort of a conversationalist just knows the word "Grunt", not a very good one is what I say. No wonder I'm the only friend they have.

And that's why they're rich and Ian and I are paupers.

[Ian]

Ain't that the truth!

Started That 70s Show the other night. Still good, though sadly Laura Prepon's hotness has decreased exponentially with the loss of her red hair. Boo!

Maybe that's another reason I enjoyed Bear's Kiss, Rebecka with the red wig. Something special about red heads.

[Ian]

Brunettes are my preference.

Though redheads are second.

Give me a red head any day.
Please, please, won't somebody give me a red head..
