What Would Picard Do?

For some reason my husband stays up all night watching MASH and Seinfeld and Star Trek The Next Generation into the early morning hours. Then falls asleep on the couch. I see that he has hit the "record" button for some of the episodes, which is silly because we own every episode of MASH on DVDs and all these shows are on Netflix — so I will typically delete them after a few days seeing no reason to fill up the DVR. It's his thing to watch the same episodes over and over and over, memorizing the lines. I don't know why.

Of course, when we were dating, it was sweet: "He's so smart and geeky and cute the way he knows all the lines from all these great classic shows. He's sentimental. I just love that about him."

Now it's more like "What the freak do you have to memorize all these freaking lines from these freaking old shows for? What is wrong with you? What is WRONG with you? Get off the freaking couch and maybe start one of the projects on this house that is falling apart around us. This is just a symptom of the things I should have paid more attention to before we got married, you freaking mushbrained trivia addict!"

Sigh.
