So I was really misled by the Netflix series Blown Away. From the title, I really thought it was going to be about something completely different.

It also introduced me to the fact that there is a group of people out there who use the terms "glory hole," "hot glob' for totally different reasons than the rest of us would.

In short, today, I binge-watched Blown Away, and I learned something in the process.

Yep. Not the paper TV Guide kind of thing - God, would you even remember TV Guide? - but the scrolling list that tells you what's on every channel. You know. Like if you had a dish, or something.

By 'better', I take it you mean more modern. Like those ... what are they? Fire sticks? I don't know, I know just enough about computers to get by. If you were going to convert me to something like that, you'd have to have the patience to show me how it works, dear boy.

Don't you have to have a newer TV to do that? ... I mean, I guess mine's old enough that I should probably replace it anyway.

No no no, it's uh ... a Sony. Rear projection.

[the TV does have the capability for adding in Netflix and other streaming stuff, he just hasn't figured that out yet. please help him join the century, Anakin]

[it's a good thing pouts don't carry over text]

When you say it like that you make it sound so OLD.

I'd hate to see what you'd make of the console Quasar my family had when I was in high school...

Either way, if you've got any suggestions, I probably should try to catch up with the times.

Quite possibly, if not, the squirrels have made quite a mansion out of it somewhere.

If you're offering, that'd be terrific. I can pay you for your time, I know it's valuable to you.

[wait we are? ... awesome. he's one of the older Different, it feels odd being the one who gets to decide where the friendship threshhold is with people like him and Lisa]

Oh - well, thank you! Let me at least get dinner delivered. Then once you've got things all set up you can show me how it works and we can watch something. Have a couple of beers. Catch up.
not_as_i_do: (totally sane person yep)

[personal profile] not_as_i_do 2021-03-09 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Barq's or IBC?

[there are no other valid choices.]

[personal profile] not_as_i_do 2021-03-13 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Done. Just let me know what time works best.

[care to handwave the dinner or would you rather thread it out?]
