in an odd turn of events, my mother had digital cable installed. 'installed' seems like the wrong word... more like it was turned on. there are supposedly 500+ channels, but as i flip through i keep getting the sneaking suspicion that they're tricking us. when my mom mentioned that we would be getting it, i wasn't excited at all. first, because i hopefully won't be staying here much longer and second, i hardly watch tv at all.

but, now it's here and i seem to have been watching a strange amount of the Style Network, IFC and MuchMusic USA with occasional forays into the Real World on MTV. unfortunately, my mother doesn't like anything i watch, like ever. it's a rule maybe?

IFC has a show which had me literally entranced. it's apparently called Dinner For Five and it's apparently created by Jon Favreau and it apparently gathers five non-sucky and pretty intelligent filmakers/actors/writers to a live dinner... for five... and they talk about things and have amazingly interesting conversations that make me want to create films so incredibly bad. or something.
