It’s been 18 days since I last posted anything. Too long. I’m sorry, Internet! Just as I was getting on a roll and had 2.4 of you taking a look here every day or so, POOF! I’m gone. If it makes any difference, I have a reason. A really, really good reason:
DB moved out.
I will not, at this time (maybe ever) go into the sordid, awful, juicy details of it all. I will not entertain the Why’s, How’s, and What Happened’s. That wouldn’t be right. It’s too new, too fresh. I will say that I’m happy to be watching the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance right now instead of the Giants game, but that’s certainly not something that contributed to the current situation.
Anyhow. Have you ever wanted to listen to something, or watch something, but didn’t have access to it? And then the moment you stop thinking about it or you forget there it is? I had that type of experience this week.
As dorky as it may sound, I am a HUGE Friends fan.
Seen every episode, kick ass in the Trivia Game, all that shit. I don’t care. When I met DB (again) three years ago, he hated this about me. He taunted me every time I would watch it. Over time, however, I started to notice that HE would be laughing along too! I would bust his chops and he would give me the brush-off. Only in the last six months have I heard him say, “If you would have told me I would like this show 2 years ago, I would’ve slapped you.” (Not really, of course.) We recorded reruns on the DVR. And watched them daily. We even downloaded the first season and had a marathon one Saturday because he wanted to “see if there were any he hadn’t already seen” (all manly-like). I still think he just wanted to watch each episode in order from the beginning.
DB started to know little details about the characters and their plotlines, it almost got to the point that he remembered more than I did! He would ask me how the series finale ended, but little details escaped me. I would always say, “Oh they’ll show the rerun anyday now.” Mind you, my DVR probably records three different Friends reruns each day, one would think that the chances are pretty high that in three years we’d catch The Last One, no?
No. The Last Episode never aired. Not until Tuesday night that is, the night that DB left. After I was alone, I sat on the couch, checked the list, and there it was.
“The Last One”
I mean, what are the chances of THAT? I watched it, of course, but told my DVR to “Save Until Manually Erased.” You know, just in case.
