seriously, i'm just trying to watch some sex and the city. one wouldn't think that would be a particularily difficult task.
yesterday, i went to my friendly local movie place, and rented season four with minimal embarassment (despite the fact that i was renting ultraviolet at the same time).
now, first let me explain that season four was the logical choice. i knew that i hadn't seen all of six, i had seen five, i had seen the first few seasons, but that there was a gap. a gap! a gap that had to be filled. i glanced at the back of season three, disc one, and determined that i HAD seen those episodes. therefore, season four.
needless to say, i was both shocked and saddened to find that i had, in fact seen the episodes on this disc. where had i gone wrong? well, google quickly informed me that it was season three, disc two that i was really missing. fine. i watched ultraviolet. it wasn't as bad as i thought it might be. disaster (somewhat) averted.
this morning, i went back to the movie place, returned my two movies, and found that season three, disc two was mysteriously not available. fuck! however, the careful reader may recall that i had seen only part of of season six. so i went for season six, disc two, which was available in quadruplicate.
i batted my eyelashes at the movie guy, recited my sad, sad story of mistaken identity, and managed to get a rental credit on my account. all in all, a happy ending. or, as it turns out, a happy ending to act 1.
i went to le office, i did le work, and at about 7 i packed up le bag to go home. at which point i realized that i didn't have fucking season six, disc two with me. where had it gone?
as it turns out, i have the attention span of a goldfish, and so while i had paid for the rental, i hadn't actually taken it with me. so i went back to the movie store and again, explained my utter incompetance. the nice people at the movie place had given me another rental credit for forgetting the movie, i'm sure with much eyerolling and straining of their impressive yet finite movie snob patience.
so i got the dvd again, this time with somewhat more embarassment, and came home to write about it.

I have a perverse desire to see Ultraviolet, just so I can compare it to Aeon Flux.
