One of my friends got HBO's On Demand to work last night and has promised to bring me a tape of Ep 1 on Saturday. My general demeanor is not unlike a 6-yr-old on Xmas Eve.

Also, I enjoyed David's link in the Movies thread and love that Patton Oswalt is not just championing the show, but has a picture of himself with Robert Wisdom.

He speaks true. And he met Bunny Colvin, uh, Robert Wisdom, who has the coolest last name in the world. But it's dumb to ask people to have it on without watching, even as a joke. (But maybe my mad, though platonic, Colvin love will allow that to pass unremarked. For a while, on another board, I had "Colvin '08" as a tag.) Huh. "Irregular curves". could be just as easily applied to my dry spell as to my posting, Gus.

Just tried HBO On Demand. It doesn't like me.

That is okay. I can wait for Sunday, because I am all full of moral fiber and personal restraint and patience and such.

Why? Why doesn't HBO On Demand like me? I am a good person!

Apparently, individual cable companies get to decide what goes on HBO On Demand. It's your cable company giving you no love.

Hmm. I'm on DirectTV, which has fewer cables ...

It is a plot perpetuated by Aussies in power. I knew it! Frackin' Aussies!

I could never get it to work because I'm so yo-tech. Besides I'm feeling all McCluhany and communal experience-like about the shit right now. Do you feel me?

Sure. Give me some more about about how you is too young for the discussion. It is becoming a torrent.

Ok, so I studied media in college. And I'm not especially young anymore, just know more what to do if I wanted to kill somebody than bring him home because Steven Bochco warped me while Brooke Shields and Princess Diana warped my friends, okay? But you know, thanks anyway.

Math, where all the variables are named after tabloid headliners. I can do this.

BTW, for the on-lookers, you do not have to be as weird as erikaj or me to get into The Wire. You need only be as weird as Kristen, which is only middlin'-weird.

We're being a little off-the-hook today, it's true. I'm not always like this, either. Except for the Wire likes carrots...that's forevah. I'm 32, Gus. But an impaired 32, so that probably works out to an AB 22 on some scales and Cool Lester Smooth's age on some others.ETA: Off the Hook= bugfuck crazy in cornerspeak. As in: Damn, that crippled white girl is totally off the hook.
