It's eye-opening and takes me out of my shell. So, on to the shocker:

We were talking and she mentioned that she doesn't have a DVD player. At all. I didn't even know what to say to that. Not because I'm a movie snob...I am, to a degree, but I can expose her to that and hope it at least interests her. But, at this point, I'm genuinely not sure what she does to occupy herself. I mean, having a dvd player seems to me to be the bare minimum for separating oneself from the Luddites. We're getting lunch today and I think I'm going to have to pick her brain on this. I mean, if she doesn't have a DVD player, a casual mention of "my friends from the internet" is going to make me sound like a lunatic.
Does she even have a TV, or does she just sit at home and do arts and crafts? I mean, if so, you're in for a killer ashtray, or a really well knit scarf for some gifts.

I understand why you're perplexed; I felt the same way after the youtube incident with my ex. I don't have a problem with not being an internet or email person (like I mentioned in another thread, I don't even own a home computer), but to be a 25-year-old in a big city who hasn't even heard of youtube just totally floored me. And that wasn't the only example. Anyway, I just started to wondered how one's level of cultural literacy could be so low. Of course, I never got the answer, which is OK.

Listen to him guys, he probably doesn't even own a DVD player.

And the D.C. chewers kill yet another thread!

Anyways, update from lunch: She does, in fact, watch T.V. She just doesn't schedule it or plan for it. She's more a food network and DIY type of girl. She also "used to have a DVD player, but it would never hook up right, so [she] threw it out." Awesome. This girl is a blast.

I don't know about a long term commitment with this girl, LD. It doesn't hook up right, and she throws it out?......

Did she try to plug in the DVD before giving up?

OK, that sounds relatively normal and healthy. Same reason I got rid of my home computer.

The DC Chewers are becoming the Anton Chigurh of the CHUD MBs, roaming around and killing threads without remorse.

It really is high time I met the rest of the DC chewing syndicate.

The Fiancee is obsessed with and occasionally posts in the LOST thread here, so she's no hater. It's kinda neat to be able to tell her about funny posts or give her links and she knows who the people are. She's not into this stuff to the level I am, but it's great that she doesn't look down on me for it. (She knows better, given the crap she puts on the DVR).

I'd love to but I'm ass deep in finals right now. Between work and studying I don't have any free time for the next few weeks. Anything after December 15 is great though.

You know, I just started listening to the podcasts a week or two back.. and have been unable to shake the image of Brad Pitt every time I hear Steve speak. It's uncanny.

The question here is does Steve wanna be like Brad Pitt, or in him?

I think I posted too soon. My boyfriend and I got into a huge fight over No Country for Old Men and after constantly running into a brick wall in which he continued to believe that it sucked, I said he has terrible tastes in movies. He isn't speaking to me right now. It's like I questioned his manhood or something.

Don't sweat it, Diva -- if he thinks No Country sucked, he does have terrible taste in movies. This is an irrefutable fact. You've got nothing to be sorry about.

He just texted me that he is so mad he's gonna take out his anger at the gym. Still, I don't feel guilty about this. As you said, facts are facts.

Yeah, I try not to be judgmental when it comes to movies, as everything is a personal opinion and blah, blah, blah, but if someone's fighting you over their dislike of No Country for Old Men, it's time to look elsewhere, Diva. Cuz seriously, that movie is magnificence in its purest form.

Does anyone else find it kind of troubling that cultural literacy = youtube?
