six feet under

Last night...because Steph made me, and because I so desperately wanted to, she and I situated ourselves in front of her lovely tv, a television so full of cable and Charter On-Demand that I could have gone into cardiac arrest, it is just that lovely. We did this so that I could just begin the Six Feet Under saga already. So many people have ranted and raved about this show for so long-- a show that is now no longer on HBO, except through Steph's magic tv. And since I never got HBO and now that I do not have any cable television, I was eager to begin this journey for two reasons, well three:

1. Because I so desperately needed an excuse to watch tv, and the fact that it involved watching cable tv just made it all the more appealing and acceptable.

2. Because when a friend invites you over to watch cable tv when you yourself do not have cable tv, you just to it, alright?

3. I can think of no better way to fill a Thursday evening than with a bottle of wine and a good friend.

Oh and did I mention we watched cable tv?

Though our journey got off to a rough start last night, it turned out to be a lovely evening. And we learned that there was no better way to open a bottle of wine, well two bottles of wine, than with the tools we had on hand (and finally a seemingly idiot proof corkscrew) plus literally our entire combined deltoidal strength. Yes, I almost threw my shoulder out opening a bottle of wine. But I was also so worried that Steph was going to cut my face.

Thanks for not cutting my face, Steph.

AH hahahaha you're welcome for not cutting your face Loel :) I must say, I've never tried so hard to get wine bottles open (except for in France when I pushed two corks through with a bic pen and was covered in wine both times!). Glad you enjoyed our evening, it was a lovely time indeed!
