It's funny! Heidi wondered if everything was okay with me because I hadn't posted on Face on Saturday - which is indeed rare and could indeed mean something has happened to me! But alas, I am alive and kicking and just had some alone time with Marv since Friday night as my mom had left and my kid was away with friends... Marv and I went out do dinner Friday night after a long and interesting work day. Then we watched the movie The Departed, which my brother had sent me. That was a riveting flick! I stayed in my head all night. It had a few things in common with our beloved The Wire - though The Wire is 100% better if we are going to compare. Leonardo and Matt are truly fantastic actors. I recommend it to all of you who haven't seen it! Thanks NSM! Next will be Coming Home and then hopefully soon after Twin Peaks from ASG! wink, wink!
Heidi says: Today it is exactly 7 years that Nice and me are living in the house we bought! Seven years! Time is flying... We also discovered today that the little house where we lived before has been broken down. Had to fight my tears a bit. We really loved living in that little house that made me feel like we were in Greece. It was just a garage and a hall, a place to eat and sit, and above that a bathroom and 1 bedroom and an attic. All the walls were painted white. In the summer, it was a nice and fresh house. In the winter, it kept us warm. And now it's gone.
My health is coming back, slowly. I still feel weak but the cough is nearly gone and I like food again! Way to go!

IPVPOY! (The extra P is not a typo but something for you to figure out.) I was hoping you'd find parallels to The Wire (the 5th season of which begins tomorrow night, BTW). Coming Home actually has some parallels to The Wire too, come to think of it, in terms of complex characters who can't easily be labelled good or bad. Awaiting your critique of CH, and, again, IPVPOY on TD.
Seriously Sarah - don't bother. You've had the DVDs for nearly a year along with a bunch of others you've not watched. At this point it feels delibrate like some kind of power play between us and I just want out. We're just not compatiable swappers. I've come to terms with that. I shant darken your conscious again about it. Just return the stuff and we'll pretend it never happened.

Let it be known that if I had time, all I would ever do is watch DVDs recommended, lent and sent to me by people I love and trust opinion-wise. But alas, time isn't like that and I can manage about one series at a time and then I get obsessed and have to see it through until the end if it is readily available to me. Plus, Marv and I choose series differently and rarely sit down to watch stuff together apart from the week here and there where we have marathons and maybe one to three nights any other given week. I don't enjoy watching stuff alone really so I choose to watch with Marv. Marv is much less of a TV-DVD head than I am. So as much as I would really love to watch everything all the time, time just doesn't allow that. So don't take it personally anyone out there who has ever lent me a DVD that I haven't watched yet. I do get around to all of them eventually - but eventually can mean a year indeed. I know that seems crazy but that's a fact. In the meantime, yes, some tension happens because a year can go by and I'm not there yet - but there are no power plays, no meant-to-be-plans - it's just the way it is. So anyone who isn't comfortable with that, please don't lend me anything or send me anything ever again because as much as it may not be fun or nice for you that we haven't watched something yet, it's also not fun or nice to be under pressure knowing I am disappointing those who are waiting for me to watch stuff... So again, nothing personal in it all and this whole thing feels rather petty and silly right now... But with that said, sorry if I have annoyed anyone from NSM to ASG to whomever with my own viewing manners. I hope the discussion ends here or goes private ...
