Inanimate Homophobia.
As you probably know, I buy alot of dvd's. Many were bought new, but the used portion is increasing. Only once have I ever had to return a disc because it was damaged to the point of not playing properly, and that one was used. It was the original British series Queer As Folk. I took it back, they sent it away to be "fixed" and it was returned to me looking and working as though it was brand new. A one time only dvd problem, which leads me to number two which has just arisen. What dvd you ask? The final disc of the US series Queer As Folk, which I bought less than a week ago brand new. And the problem is bad enough that I'm going to exchange it for a new copy. Pure coincidence? I think not. Clearly my dvd player is homophobic. Maybe I should get a new one...
So yes I have watched Season 1 (almost) in it's entirety - approximately 1100 minutes - somewhere between saturday afternooon and last night. I've been in a mood to do nothing lately, mostly due to the stress of dental visits and not wanting to eat much, more because of the thought of pain (as opposed to actual pain.) Everything is psychological, although after eating lunch yesterday my jaw felt like I'd been chewing gum for a week. That's from the visit monday night which included the filling of a wisdom tooth on the top. The dentist said he enjoyed the challenge because few people still have their wisdom teeth to be worked on. The drilling wasn't the worst part, it was the dentist asking me to open wider. There was a tooth on the bottom too, so the whole left side of my face was frozen, but that one only took ten minutes to do, as opposed to the eternity on the top. Two down, three(?) to go.
