Friends: the Lost Episodes – Last night I saw an episode of Friends I had never seen before, even though I made a special effort to check off every episode a while back. (I bought the ones I hadn’t seen on Amazon, only a month before they went free on Netflix.) I just recently found The One Where Chandler Greets Every Woman With a Kiss after he’s caught kissing Monica. For other people, this would be like finding SuperBowl II.
Exhausting dream – You know the unpleasant experience of searching for a word? Last night I spent an entire dream with Sandinistas in a tavern searching for “a word that means rendezvous, but it’s Spanish and it starts with an S.” “Sabotage?” “That’s not it.” “Tryst?” “That’s not not it.” HOURS OF THIS. Of course I woke up and went for the thesaurus. No such word. Cruel dream.
Movies – Gary’s been on a summer blockbuster kick lately, but I convinced him to go see The Big Sick instead of whatever action movie’s out this week. I found it hilarious. He hated it. I don’t know if he hated the movie as much as he hated me controlling what movie we saw. Evidently there are some areas where he is the Authority, and areas where I am the Authority. Now that he reminded me of the rules, I’m resisting the temptation to exercise my authority in the gardening area. I could redesign all the landscaping and he couldn’t question it. I’d better go do that before he wakes up.

My Firstborn lived Friends, has the videos and now the dvds, all watched so many times she can quote them verbatim – and does, to her internal satisfaction when no one else realises. But she’s only ever watched the last ever episode once. Just too traumatic.
We missed a whole era of pop culture by living in Europe for 15 years. This makes it very hard to solve crossword puzzles.
Big Dot – That episode doesn’t get me as much as the proposal one. I sob, every time, even while I’m muttering, “THESE AREN’T REAL PEOPLE.”
Hattie – But I bet you can fill in all the Arno and Aral and Ural answers, though.
