Either-or.

I can't go back in time to have sex with '80s/'90s Jennifer Connelly. This perturbs me greatly. 

Can we just ban all holidays.  I mean I know I am going to die alone and unloved, why do we have to have holidays just to rub it in?!

alone? what of your family?

Yeah they are around, but since my great aunt died none of my extended family want to drive the half hour to an hour to have a family dinner any more.  When I was a kid and my Grandparents and great Aunt were alive we would have big family dinners complete with my grandfather setting up a giant train track under the tree, I miss that now.  That together with the fact that I never leave the house make the Holidays feel kind of empty and lonely now, it's just not the same.

Also it doesn't help that I just watched Christmas vacation today and that brought back memories of my childhood.

Well, get out of the house and do something. 

I miss my Grandparents as well.   Our Christmas Dinners aren't quite what they used to be.    I guess all you can do is try to make the best of it. 

Yeah, I just miss seeing everyone and catching up.  I'll get over it, it's just this is the first year we have not done the big family dinners, so it hurts right now.

One of my idiot friends decided to torrent season 5 of "Archer" without my permission and I got an email from FOX about copyright infringement that demanded I remove the files.  No actions will be taken against me or anything, that's not what I'm really bitching about, and it's understandable.

What I'm bitching about, is that if I'm getting emails from FOX for downloading a TV show, now should I be scared to download fanedits as well?  Also I was planning on someday releasing a fanedit of my own, and am now having serious cold feet about it.

I've never had a problem with fanedits.

Me either, but I'm just a little nervous that FOX somehow found out about my friend torrenting one season of a tv show.  I don't want to be a repeat offender.

 Ouch, I am not sure what to tell you.

I once got a friend in trouble because once while I was at his house I downloaded Adam West's Batman, now please bear in mind that this was years before it was released on DvD so I have no idea how someone could get in trouble for that it's not like anyone was losing any money so I have no idea how this stuff works or how anyone could get into trouble for a fan edit.

Since then I have used a prepaid phone card thing for all of my downloading and have never had another problem.

Money is really tight right now but on the weeks where my family can't afford to go shopping we have our chickens who lay eggs for us to eat. Well a fox got in the middle of the chickens and killed them all, now I don't know what we will do.  I really need to find a job but there just aren't any around here.  You really should be allowed to shoot foxes but for some reason it's against the law.  This is just stupid a vermin who is killing off food for my family is protected by the law, I am so fed up with my whole life right now.

And now my rash will not stop itching painfully because we are having to run the heat 24/7 and I can't sleep, just perfect.

My grandfather was just officially put on hospice.  I see it as a good thing, he never had a chance to begin with I honestly think they just ruined what was left of his life by making him suffer through treatments that never had a chance of working (in my opinion anyway).  I hope he goes quickly because he was a great, strong, and incredibly intelligent man and seeing him in this state of weakness, incontinence, and perpetual confusion is beyond heartbreaking and it's just not him anymore.  He deserves better than this.

So sorry to hear that.

I'll be praying for him and your family.

Thank you for the kind words.  :)

I may not be with you guys for a while.  The computer that I've been using is dying.  The Hard Drive is failing.   The computer is operating incredibly slowly when it does operate at all.  

What a start to the new year.  : (   : (    : (

Have a nice, long, heart to heart soul to soul talk with it.  I'm sure that if you reason well enough with it, it will be filled with compassion and cooperate with you.

 Ouch, sorry to hear that.  That happened to me last year.  I hated being out of touch and I lost a bunch of stuff I was working on including a novel that was about half way done.  Hope things get better for you soon, i will miss reading your posts.

 Same here...already have, actually. :P

Jason Statham isn't an actor -- he's a big slab of raw meat perched atop two blocks of wood.

CED was a flop, LD wasn't.

 Yeah, if they consider Blu-ray a hit, Laserdisc should surely count as well.
