Part III

I finally plugged in my TV. And watched Bill and Ted. Totally non-heinous.

Television Again

I still haven't touched it. But I have gotten another round and a half on my rug.

Television

I have a TV now. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this. It's a nice 13" Toshiba with built in VCR. Since I haven't been able to watch Bill and Ted in a year (due to lack of television), this is a blessing. But is it a mixed blessing?

I haven't owned my own (haha) television since I was in high school, and I don't think I actually watched that one more than once in a while after freshman year. Both of my roommates freshman year had TV's, and I never even watched it. Last year, Alicia had a TV (also combo VCR), and good times were had with movie nights. But unless Alicia was watching Law & Order, I never actually watched television.

I've spent the last year (with a few exceptions) almost entirely television free. I think it's had a good effect on me...I appreciate movies a lot, and I'm not desensitized to television as I have previously been.

Which leads me to conclude that I'm not sure how I feel about the TV that is currently sitting on my couch. It's been here for over three hours, and I haven't even looked for a place to put it (other than my couch). I actually glare at the TV once in a while, when I look up from the rug I'm currently working on.

Eesh, why I am so bothered by a TV?

Empire Records Drinking Game

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Empire Records Drinking Game, as created by two scientists who have realized that they don't want this on their vitae.
Drink when:
Debra makes a music reference.
Everytime Joe yells.
Every time "Say No More, Mon Amour" is played, said or sung.
Everytime Lucas sounds like Mr. Miyagi (or this is referenced).
Everytime AJ paints or glues something.
Everytime Corey "eats a breath mint".
Everytime Berko looks confused.
Everytime someone says "veto."
When Mark is eating brownies, take one drink everytime he takes a bite.
Everytime Gina says something over intercom.
Whenever Rex Manning flashes a fake smile.
Everytime someone says something about Rex Manning's hair.
Everytime Joe tells AJ to fix the sign.
Everytime you see one of Debra's bandages. (That means you drink twice when you see both in the same shot)
Everytime "Music Town" is referenced.
Everytime Warren's voice cracks.
Everytime money is seen.
Everytime Lucas is seen carrying the couch cushion.
