tivomigod are you fucking lazy

this guy my roommate was dating bought us (actually her, but i live with her) a tivo as a farewell present. he sold his house in venice beach and left yesterday morning in order to travel the world. this is typical of both our love lives- finally meeting someone who doesn't have an addiction problem or a major personality disorder...only to have him leave the continent a few weeks later. in either case, a tivo is a much better romantic gesture than flowers or candy.
my roommate's list of "to do" recordings consists of stuff like The American Experience and BBC World News.
My selections, on the other hand, allowed me to wake up this morning and watch the ER episode with Ray Liotta (saddest episode ever...still crying) and Hellraiser- all with no commercial interruptions!
God I love Hellraiser. You might not know this about me (although I'm sure this won't be a surprise to you either way) but I am both empathetic towards and vaguely attracted to Pinhead. He's not evil- he's just doing his job. He's kind of like a meter maid that way. Plus, he's in eternal agony. He's just about the most nuanced film villain of all time. How can you hate someone who's in eternal agony? His guts are all turned around and it hurts.
