Dana came and stole all of our technology the other day. There's a long, long story here, and since I'm full of caffiene again, I'll tell it to you. Rewind to about three months ago. Rijid and I were just starting to settle into the whole roommate groove.

One day, we came home and noticed the PSII was missing. We had known in our heart of hearts that it wasn't really our PSII, it was D's. We knew that someday, it would leave us, but it was jarring when it happened nonetheless. Gaah! I really really wanted to watch a movie tonight! How dare he just wander in and take his PSII, like he owns it or something?? Oh, wait. But, but, gaah!! We swore that one of really should go out and buy a new one, so this would never ever happen again.

Then, Dana said she had a DVD player she wasn't using, and she would loan it to us. Score.

Dana is now moving in with someone new. Monday, she called and asked if they could borrow my VCR for a while. We never, ever use the VCR. We had her DVD player, you see. I wasn't even entirely sure if the VCR even worked, so I told her she could have it, with my blessings.

She showed up, took the VCR, and then said, Oh, wait, that's MY DVD player, I'll might as well take that with me right away too. But but but!! Yes, I know it's yours, but goddammit!

It's like, taking either one would have been perfectly acceptable. I told her to take the VCR. It's HER DVD player. But in one fell swoop, she just waltzed into our home and decimated our entertainment prospects. I told Rij that it's not even really worth replacing the DVD player, because it's just a matter of time now before D comes to reclaim HIS TV set. It's pathetic, really. I am 28 years old, and I own almost nothing. I am a Bad American.

And yes. I know. The fact that I am typing these words means that I'm not totally living in the Stone Age. I can in fact watch DVDs on the computer. But the computer is in the corner of the room, and the whole living room is set up with the entertainment center as the central point of attraction, and all these people daring to come and reclaim their own possessions really sucks. I have been inconvenienced, and I'm gonna whine about it. Waah, fuckin waah.
