I hate TV.

http://www.adbusters.org/metas/psycho/tvturnoff/

I has been 3 weeks since I last watched TV (broadcast TV, not counting DVDs), and I don't feel like going back to being an idiot box viewer. I might have to move to a small town next month (I took the job), and when I move I won't take a TV with me - ok I might, but I'll only connect it to my DVD player.

Until he sees you run off from table to table in the convention drooling like a Pavlovian experiment at each new thing you see and that he'll never actually see you and, when you do have conversations, you'll be running your mouth off about SW the whole time and he won't get a word in edgewise. Some bonding.


Good point

You seem to speak from experience, have you taken your wife to a convention?


Which brings me to a Ric's dating tips #1:

* Never, EVER take a date to a convention, specially if it's sci-fi or anime related. I say that from my own experience.

Bear in mind, Ric, that what you are saying is purely subjective. It's one of the best to you and a classic to you. I don't agree. I feel it is an overhyped movie that just makes no sense whatsoever and is mindnumbingly boring. And I watched it when I was 23. But this is also just my opinion and I acknowledge it as such. I'm not requiring you to agree. But you shouldn't question my right to feel this way about it.

However, I would never lump it with Battlefield Earth. That's just a bad movie. Bad writing, acting, directing, everything. Whereas 2001 does have some redeeming qualities. I just can't think of them right now.


Sure, I meant to me, of course. 2001 always had mixed reviews since it was first released, and it's not for everyone's taste. You have to agree it's a classic movie like Casablanca or Citizen Kane. Look at "Grease", I consider it a classic movie, but I don't like it (and I enjoy musicals).

I heard this one today, and I'll try to adapt it to international audiences:

Six crazy men are in a nut house, strapped and locked in a cell. Suddenly, a cat appears at the window.

"Hey, let's have sex with that cat!" - said one of them, the sex maniac.

"Let's have sex with that cat and torture it!" - said the sex maniac psychopath.

"Let's have sex with that cat, torture it and kill it!" - said the sex maniac psychopath murder.

"Let's have sex with that cat, torture it, kill it, and have sex again with the corpse!" - said the sex maniac psychopath murder necrophile.

"Let's have sex with that cat, torture it, kill it, have sex again with the corpse and then burn it!" - said the sex maniac psychopath murder necrophile pyromaniac.

Then they all look at the last man, the sex maniac psychopath murder necrophile pyromaniac masochist. He just stared for a while, smile, and said:
"Meow."

They won't. Their targets are evil corporations such as Microsoft. It's easy to create a virus that could corrupt a Linux system, after all the kernell is being kept by a 17 year old kid. Firefox is a rebel against Microsoft tirany.

BTW, has anyone tried to use Hotmail with Firefox? Dosen't it look kinda weird?

It's one of the most difficult things, cancelling you cell phone contract. When you mention it, the call center attendants suddenly get incredibly dumb and slow. If you want to get anything done, get the name of the attendant as soon as he gets you. And then tell him loud and clear that you are calling them to cancel you cell phone, and if he/she dosen't perform as he/she is suppose to in such ocasion, you are willing to get in contact with someone with high ranks in that cell phone company, and even willig to go to court if necessary, and <attendant>'s name will be the first name mentioned in both cases. So, the attendant will try to offer you free calls or even free cell phones, don't hesitate just say "no" and remind them of why you are calling, always repeating his/her name after every sentence. In 2 days you'll get it done.
