Feb. 22nd, 2008 02:15 pmSo, the cast is off, I'm stiff and sore and inna splint, and yesterday had a rampaging headache. Ow. Today is better though! It's casual Friday so I get to wear jeans, and I discovered that if I smile at the sandwich lady in the building canteen she will custom-prepare a grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough for me and even give me a cup of honey mustard for dipping. Lunch is win.
Also I got a copy of The Testament of Dr. Mabuse in the mail from a good friend and found my copy of Fritz Lang's M, so tonight is German Expressionist Movie Night. I've been restricted to watching DVDs on my computer since when I moved in we had only just been gifted a secondhand DVD player by M The Former Coworker, not to be confused with the above M By Fritz Lang. We never hooked it up, me because I had no idea how our TV-cable-DVR thing was set up and R because he needs a driving motivation to make any kind of change. Which led to the following conversation two days ago:
R: Does your computer have a DVD player?
(this is Rspeak. Rspeak also includes "Do you want some steak?" as a code for "Will you cook this steak?" and "What do you think of this carpet?" as code for "Wanna help me move some furniture?")
Sam: Yeah.
R: Do you have an S-video hookup?
Sam: Umm, I'm pretty sure.
R: Do you want to watch a movie? I bought some bootlegs in Chinatown.
Sam: Install the DVD player, R, I'm using my computer.
God love him, but honestly. Still, to his credit, it only took him about three minutes to get the DVD player up and running.
There is buttered popcorn and subtitled noir in my future. Maybe even a beer.
