Wasn't it the later episodes that got heavy into the recycled footage? Even the style of the show changed a bit by then. The backgrounds got more acid trippy.

Yep. After the first season, another studio was brought in to do the animation and with a reduced budget.

Here is a list of languages I want to learn:

Ancient Egyptian

Ancient Hebrew

Esperanto

Gaelic

German

Japanese

Latin

Welsh

I really need to read/re-read the Silver and Bronze Age Spider-Man comics. I really have little idea of who Gwen Stacy is, and as a self-identifed Spidey fan that's just pathetic.

I need it to stop being humid but not hot so I can sleep at night.  Right now it is really humid but it doesn't get hot enough for the AC to come on so I end up sticky and unable to sleep.  I need it to stay above 78 so the Ac will come on.

Why is ice cream so much easier for me to regurgitate than other foods?

Can anyone please stop this day from ending?   When this day ends, I will turn 39 for the 2nd year in row!  I don't want that to happen!   Please Help!!!!

Fly to another country with a different time zone.

Yeah, but that would only work for so long, eventually I'd run out of time zones.

I wish I had kept a list of all the books I read from 1998-2004. I remember enjoying a lot of the books I read in those years -- and I'd love to re-read them to see how I'd feel about them now -- but I don't recall the titles of most of them; all I can remember are vague plot details, and those usually aren't enough to narrow down my search.

 If I understand correctly, you mean you're turning forty today? If so, you were born on the same day as my mom.

Happy Birthday! ;)

I was able to find a Latin book on Amazon for about $15 a couple of years ago.  It's nice to know a little Latin when you study ancient Rome.

It is getting easier and cheaper to learn a new language.  Check the libraries in your area,mine always seem to have a bunch of courses on CD and DvD and those are free!

Tommy Wiseau isn't as funny when he's trying to be deliberately humourous.

Thanks for the links, twister. I'll give them a look over once I feel a little more chipper. 

Okay I just watched SF Debris' Before and after review and can i just take minute to talk about something that bugs me in this episode and it has nothing to do with Kes's whole family being purged from existence jut to please the shippers(But that does really bug me. I mean basically her whole family gets killed and it has no negative impact on her),it's something that bugs me in science fiction in general and not just Voyager. Alien life spans. In this episode Kes is dying because she just turned nine and her people only live nine years. Anyone ever notice that it doesn't matter if it is nine years or nine hundred years when alien lifespans are mentions on Sci-Fi it is always very exact and every alien we meet always seems to live that exact number of years unless they get shot or something. if they are under the life span they are never in any danger of dying and once they reach that lifespan it like a switch flips and they just drop dead. it doesn't matter what kind of health they are in,they can't do a thing to prolong their lives like eating right or stuff like that,once they hit that magic number they are dead and everyone knows it. That is not how it works in real life. I mean right now the average human lifespan goes into the late 70s but my maternal grandfather died in his early 60s and paternal grandmother made it to 89,but if they were aliens in science fiction we would be told their race lives to 78 and my grandfather would have made it to that age without any problems and my grandmother would have dropped dead 11 years before she did.

Can British/other non-Americans tell the difference between a New York and Boston accent?
