Kings of the Remote

RC envy! I finally had to buy my own VCR etc to enjoy girly stuff. All we seemed to watch when the kids were growing up is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Monster Trucks, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and the like. If I wanted to see something that appealed to my intellect, I had to do it in private.

Just when did "Anne of Green Gables" become contraband?

King of the Remote

I would never, have never, just turned on a movie or show without asking first if you want to watch it. Certain movies, that I know you'll hate, I wouldn't even bother to ask. Those, I DVR, and then never watch because I don't EVER get to just watch whatever suits me. I cater to the collective, even if it's just you and me.

So yeah, I think it's totally rude, when one minute you ask what I want to do tonight and the next you turn on a movie that you know I have no interest in. Even when you leave the room and the movie is paused for an extended time, and I ask, "Are you planning to watch this movie?" you don't get the hint. Even when I remove myself from the room and go watch in the bedroom (where there is no DVR to watch the movies I like) you don't get the hint.

And by the way...96% of the movies you want to watch I will hate. But you could at least act like you care. You could say, hey, I want to watch this, do you? It's about blah blah... but no. Just take it all over why don'tcha!

GRRRRR
