HBO-you evil genius!
I love YouTube–what’s not to love? A wide variety of random and entertaining tidbits; like Flight of the Conchords. Actually, it is my love of Bret and Jemaine that have gotten me into this mess. I noticed a link to an episode of In Treatment and I have always liked Gabriel Byrne, so I clicked…then I got hooked. The great thing is that HBO has generously provided (at that point 4) full episodes on YouTube. It’s well written, a little voyeuristic and just plain enjoyable. Today I had another 25 minutes to kill and logged on to find out how Laura (Monday’s apt.) is doing. Argh! only a teaser! Blast you HBO! You hooked me like a dealer in an after-school special. (The first 4 are free….) Between this and Battlestar Galactica coming back in April, I am tempted as never before to spend my cash on cable. Nah, I’ll live; but if you are above us pedestrian basic-cable types; check it out. No? Another FOTC clip, perhaps?

I understand the love -hate relationship of HBO. When we signed up for cable 6 months ago they gave us free HBO for 6 months. We haven’t been that satisfied with it until one day last week it just turned itself off. No more HBO. Now that it is gone I don’t know what to do. We are hooked on “The Wire” a Baltimore based drama and now half way through the last season…nothing. Not that I want to fork over a huge chunk of change for something we hardly watch (nothing good was ever on), but I know Mike is a little sad that it is gone now. He too loves Flight of the Conchords. Thank goodness for YouTube!

P.S. We, Chloe and I, are coming for a visit in two weeks. Let’s get together

I LOVE this show, about a week ago Maryanne made me watch it with her and now I can’t get enough! I wish I had HBO!
