For the past day or so, the Russian lover has been consumed occupied with building a home-made HDTV antenna out of a 2x4 and wire coathangers. The mere concept is not as disconcerting as the fact that the damn thing actually appears to work. He is now polishing up his handiwork and traipsing around the apartment with it, thirty foot cable in tow, hunting for optimum reception.
When he's done with this, I'm going to hand him an empty soda can and a rubber band and ask him to build me a iPhone.
Which reminds me to look into whether McGyver episodes are available on DVD yet.
