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.

... If you need to watch things explode, I seem to recall seeing something scrolling on my cable guide called "The Explosion Show"....
[yes, he still has cable. what. he's old. you kids and your Netflix and Hula Hoops]

[Of course she's amused. And she knows Anakin. She's also incredibly curious, now, as to what he actually was watching...]
What was the show actually about, if you don't mind my asking?
no subject
It's a glass blowing competition show.

But, okay, did you just say 'cable guide'?

[good god he feels old]

How have you been? Did you have a busy holiday season?
no subject
I don't have any family so I spent the whole holidays over in that ski resort area.
How was your holiday?

You know that there are better ways to watch TV than through cable?

I mean streaming services. No TV guide needed.

[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]

You don't have to know a lot about art or glass, I certainly don't know much about glass, myself, but I imagine I could find a piece that spoke to me. Somehow. Even if I only was fond of the colors involved, or the shape.

When you say it like that you make it sound so OLD.
no subject
I guess I just see the artistic design in automobiles and bikes and not... glass, I guess. It looked really difficult to do. I can appreciate the skill it takes.
no subject
[ Ya, Anakin is a brat. ]
no subject
Either way, if you've got any suggestions, I probably should try to catch up with the times.
no subject
Look, if your television is that old, you're going to need some equipment. I can help set it up, if you want.
no subject
I imagine that would be quite the undertaking, but if they can make one from cake, I imagine it wouldn't be out of the scope of possibility. [Guess who watches all these baking shows, for all her claims that she doesn't watch much television? Yotsuyu does have a sweet tooth, after all...a well-known one.]
I appreciate the skill, too. It's certainly not within my wheelhouse.

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

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.

[there are no other valid choices.]

[care to handwave the dinner or would you rather thread it out?]
no subject
[ Let's just handwave. ]
