thanks to dvd9, i am now officially a couch potato. in a month’s time, i’ve managed to watch 6 seasons of “sex and the city,” 5 seasons of “scrubs,” 4 seasons of “family guy,” 2 seasons of “entourage” and 2 seasons of “coupling” (movies not included). it’s fascinating how one could really relate to most characters in the movies and tv series.

i finished watching bbc’s “coupling” early yesterday and i found it tummy cramping hilarious. it’s like a cross between “sex and the city” and “friends.” the characters are very funny but i was able to relate more on gina bellman’s self-obsessive character, jane christie. here’s one of her monologues where she initially talks about her new boyfriend (whom she hasn’t actually met yet and has only seen through a window across her flat) but being the self-absorbed attention-grabbing narcissist that she is, she eventually ends it with a subconscious self-realization, which she then projects to her so-called boyfriend.

“sometimes i look at him sitting there waiting, and sometimes i can almost hear the terrible voices of his inner torment – echoing out from the great black emptiness of his heart. i’m alone; nobody wants me. i’m a sad, boring little person who has to be the center of attention every second of the day just to drown the screaming choirs of my own insanity. and i’ll never find a man of my own. oh, my god! do you think he’s gay?”
