After Alice left my house to go home and watch Derek Jeter chat with Barbara Walters, I returned S-Unit’s call.
We hadn’t talked for a while (two days, at least) and I’d only used 128 of my 900 minutes (with 6 days to go), so I figured we had plenty of time to catch up. We chatted for a while, she asked if I was caught up on American Horror Story, I told her about the last episode I had watched (via the internet – my cable package is very limited….I really only have it for my house guests) and asked about the rubber suit guy. “OK, well, that episode was a while ago so I can’t talk to you about the details. You need to watch,” she advised. A few minutes later, but nowhere near my minute max, she said, “Alright, well, I’m going to go so I can watch some TV.”
Twice in one night, and less than one hour’s time, I was told goodbye so someone could watch TV. It was like I was in a relationship again, but with two people. “What is so interesting about that little black box in the corner?” I asked myself and then turned it on to see. Reruns (sadly, not the Wilson Phillips reality show), news, infomercials – nothing worth watching.
So, I did what most people do, I googled my URL and found ‘Grigio Girls Slideshow REHAB‘ on youtube. 3 minutes and 35 seconds of four girls drinking (never did I see grigio) and partying with Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab‘ as the track for the slideshow. The next related clip was, ‘Asian girl opening a bottle of Pinot Grigio.’ Once again, no grigio – it was champagne. Ugh. No TV, no PG and no friends with me. Finally, I stumbled upon ‘Must Love Wine‘ with Filiberto Magnati. He did actually drink Pinot Grigio and ended his show with words of wisdom, “You must love wine because wine loves you.” So true. Wine may be packaged in a little black box, but it will never leave me for one.
