Since 2003, the most consistent thing I have had access to in my life is the television and movies.

As sad and embarrassing as this is, I write about it anyways.

'Hamlet'

This was written many many months after seeing this movie, Garden State. I enjoyed it when I saw it. When I review things about it to write about it today, I see Hamlet.

American Psycho

I heard the business card scene on the radio at least once. That was some funny stuff since I had been trying to help my friend design her web site and went with her to get things printed. I think she also wanted me to help with her business card and I do remember thinking that she was almost completely insane -- and not the same kind of insanity that she had been in college either, where glittery fabric and romance that ended with the receipt of a red rose had been encouraged.

She fired me from making her web site when I used the Cindy Bob font for it.

When I finally saw the movie, I was surprised by the violence and how it was mostly not funny, but a sad thing about trying to fit and stand out in the standards that were created for and by the yuppiedom of the eighties.

is there a dvd to buy?

I have a friend who has every episode of this series saved on his TIVO hard drive. He would like to buy the dvd, however, last look there was not a dvd available.

Is burning a series to a dvd yourself illegal when the dvd is not available and you wait patiently for years?

I think my friend ended up installing a new harddrive onto his TIVO so that he could continue to hold onto the TIVO copies of the series and buy it on dvd as soon as it becomes available.
