My fella and I are excited. The
new season of “Homeland” is about to start. We are less excited that our Showtime
subscription has changed.
We can access Showtime online but
not on the actual television set anymore.
This means we’re gonna have to get
our fix of weekly espionage on the i-pad... a device we’re going to have to
share.
This is very bad news.
We don’t share well. In fact, I
once told Guru Guy if he didn’t buy himself his own umbrella I was going to
leave him.
We were in San Francisco. It was
pouring rain, and we’d spent the day struggling over the umbrella.
We were newlyweds so this
explains why we would even attempt such a rookie move as sharing an umbrella. Mental note: just because it looks cute and
romantic in the “Pepsi” ad does not mean it is at all cute and romantic in real
life.
We are no longer newlyweds. We
are hardened veterans (like the Homeland crew this season!). We know
what works for us, and it’s not sharing. So I’m getting the TwoHands II
gadget. It snaps onto the i-pad and voila! hands-free viewing.(Click this link to go to amazon.com where you can get the TwoHands II for around $10.)
It will free up my hands and my heart. Because I will not spend
the evening thinking hateful thoughts about my fella and his bad i-pad holding
ways.
One can only hope Claire Danes
experiences a similar epiphany this season. Surely, like guru girl, she can
forgive, forget and shop her way out of the darkness.
Happy viewing, guru girls &
guys!
