I'm going to miss hbo when we finally cancel it. It's just as well, because fancy cable has totally ruined my ability to function like a normal human being. For example, this morning I watched Singles at 7 am and couldn't take my shower until after Matt Dillon and Bridget Fonda got back together. Also, last night Before Sunrise was on, and I used to love that movie until Cody absolutely ruined Ethan Hawke for me. We were watching the movie and I was talking about how cute he was, and Cody disagreed and said that Ethan Hawke talks and acts just like this friend of ours who I used to date forever ago. And damn it, Cody totally nailed it. The whole pseudo-intellectual, charming, smarmy thing - spot on. In a matter of seconds, this lovely movie totally fell apart for me. I fear what will happen the next time Reality Bites comes on tv. I could have cried; but instead I just changed the channel to Jeopardy and rooted for the guy who hits on girls in coffeeshops with Thomas Pynchon tattoos. Stupid Ethan Hawke and his stupid getting divorced from Uma Thurman. It was a sad day for Claire Tarlson indeed.
