TV addict
I am totally addicted to Television. Any and all television. I hate people who tell me how bad that is, as though they all just spent Sunday afternoon repairing hare-lips in India and strolling through The MoMA. FINE, I say. FINE. I spend Sundays watching “Rudy” on TV, and don’t turn it off when “Roadhouse”, “Shanghai Suprise”, and “Yan CAN Cook” come on afterwards. That’s just how I roll, and it works for me.Until this month. I have been living at Will’s house during September (Don’t get excited - I’m just travelling a lot, and not working, so I subletted my place.) Will does not HAVE televsion. He has a television, but it is old and it squeals and does not get any channels.
I am like a crackhead in that apartment - sweating and feverishly scanning youtube all day for television-like content. I have plowed through his dvd collection like methadone, watching up to 6 straight hours of “Moonlighting” at a time. I am trying to play it cool, but I’m feeling like I’m about a day away from knocking on someone’s door and offering them a cheeseburger to let me suck on their cable box for a few seconds.
I miss you, tv.

I can give you a hit of cable tv for a couple of hours, but you’re gonna have to come to Manhattan to get it. And you’re gonna have to share it with an schizophrenic homeless guy and two trannie hookers.
I hate football, but I fuckin’ love Rudy and any other triumphant sports movie. Go figure.

Moonlighting is a good show.

Hi Eliza,
I was looking for you online to invite you to a professorly talk I’m giving (the comedy days are over and the professorly days are here) that you might find cool. Either your email is so obvious I can’t see it, or you’ve done an excellent job concealing it. Email the above addy if you want the details. Cheers, Eric
