Oh? Not cancelled? Goody....

I sure don't. Or Clooney either.

After gazing aghast at the $90 for 12 episodes price tag, I grudgingly bought ROME. For the price one seems to largely be getting a heavy duty box. Sigh. Only watched the first 2 episodes so far, but it seems pretty decent. Definitely high production values. Some of the actors stand out, including the young man/boy playing Octavius and the guy playing Caesar. A little slow paced, kinda like most HBO series tend to be imo (they move like the late 70/early 80's mini-series) but so far, seems to me to be a big shame they canceled it. I love Rome and it's history.

Star Wars, theatrical version, DVD, yay. Odd how most of it seemed to be 'cleaned up' but they missed some frames here and there.

Should I have put down non-metric value? That'd be 4' 10.5". I remember calling about a used car once, and I asked about pedal and seat distance/height, and the guy said his wife was "really" short. She was 5' 4". I giggled. The tallest person I personally know is my brother - he's close to 6' 5". But skinny as a rail. Maybe one of my hubby's co-workers was a bit taller, don't remember. Edit: Nutrition may have to something to do with things, but genetics and selection probably have a larger role.

Gazes upwards from her 149 cm. vantage point. All you tall people, I have some lightbulbs that need changing.

Not a bad day, more like an annoying moment: When you walk to your desk chair and as you sit down, your barefoot steps in something cold and gushy. You look down and discover one of your cats threw up and you just stepped in it. I love cats, really I do.

I woke up early, that's always the start of a good day. MrCook subscribed back, which is mildly flattering even if it doesn't really mean anything.

7 and 21 are the ones I feel most strongly about; I've always loved the "Squint" smiley, and the dragon head is just cool. Although the 'Joy' one is pretty darn cute. Not in any 'favorite' order, just went down the list: 3) 5) 7) 10) 18) 21) 22) 32) 33) 45)

It's in flux...

What we are The latest YT featured vid. Too lazy to look to see if someone posted it a month or two ago. I love it tho.

Force Storm is the most fun imo. I really didn't use the feats that often. I'd pick them when I leveled up, but in terms of in-game beyond the basic speed/flurry/critical strike/heal etc. the others weren't used often. I tend to be a slave to using what I think is the most entertaining (force choke is amusing) or visually cool stuff (attack animations) *shrug*

Couple more. I'll stop here. heh So many of my faves don't work well on a dark background...

The dragon one...I adore it. lol And Drabek, yeah, that one smiley is a 'biting nails in fear' smilie - "ohnoes!"

Wiki is 40% popular culture and wishful thinking that rumors or hopes are fact, 40% good intentions and 20% fanatics with agendas that don't equal even attempted objectivity. I consider it a failing but interesting experiment in the generation/opinion gaps between old ways and new ways of thinking/broadcasting and whether or not those gaps are or are not reality or just perception - if you get what I mean. It can be useful at times...not that I ever go there except when a Google search takes me to one of their entries.

Almost forgot - Nip/Tuck. Surreal/outlandish, weird, edgy, sometimes soap-operaish in drama-level. Has plastic surgery 'cases' but a lot of interweaving plotlines outside of those as well. Kinda like...the cases are usually at most 30-40% of each episode. Not for everyone, but Blockbuster may have it for rent too.

There's remembering and there's dwelling. Dwelling to me indicates the pain/fear/anger hasn't healed enough to become an open and unrepressed memory vs. something that stops you from moving forward, if that makes sense. Course, like Rosbjerg said, some people are still able to function very well while 'dwelling' and indeed may not even realize that's what they're doing - and some aren't.

That almost sounds contradictory since episodic series can't have real closure until the series ends...but don't worry, I think I know what you mean. Taken: We tried the first disc and got bored, never watched anymore. 4400: only saw the first few pilot episodes etc. Those were interesting but I have the feeling it will/does follow an x-files or 'thing of the week' kind of pattern. Tho of course it has a central storyline and threads. The Dead Zone: It's so-so. Gets some good press so I watched some of it, but it wasn't special. Not terrible, just not special. House: is like CSI in it's case-solving aspect, along w/the continuing/developing character arcs (CSI does have them...), but it's not as...um...goodygoody in nature. House is a great anti-hero (or something) character - he IS the show. He's what keeps people watching even if the 'cases' get a bit repetitive. If you like main charactrs different from today's usual TV norm, worth renting a disc or two from Blockbuster to check it out. Galactica: I disagree with astrocreep, it was dragging way too much by the end of the 2nd season. If you dislike shows that seem to go nowhere per episode (ala 24, or most soap operas, say) then I doubt you'd like Galactica. Each episode does (usually) have a minor plot that gets wrapped up somewhat (especially in the 1st season), but mostly plots and arcs just go on and on and on...and on...hubby and I roll our eyes at the end of almost every episode, heheh....that said, I enjoy the show most of the time, with great acting/atmosphere, and it's definitely not Star Trek. Rome: That's one I want to see badly too, don't get the station. I'm hoping to buy the recent discs soon.

@ Zulu86 - I love that last one. Wallpaper time. ^_^

MrSafety's NewNuma Parody song. "I will not will not pay, the song's ok, but I still will not pay.."

Broken Trail (Imdb) Or AMC's site A 3 hour (on DVD) miniseries from AMC. I love epic, more mellow Westerns if they're good, and this one is pretty decent. Not as good as Lonesome Dove - man I miss the days when 'miniseries' meant 4-5 nights, not 2 - but Robert Duvall is excellent as always. One of those actors born to play a guy in a saddle and a hat. Thomas Haden Church surprised me a bit too - I still think of him as the goofball from "Wings," heh, but he did great here. The plot is a bit predictable but if you like this kind of Western - you'll probably like this one. Decent production values for a mini-series.

Hypothetically, I'd say yes, because one, I don't believe in a soul and two, if the duplicate thought it was you, and acted like you, what's the difference. Even you wouldn't know you weren't you, except for the cold fact on paper. For me it's just a 'queasiness/fear' factor, not a moral one. Realistically tho, I don't even like going on planes to save time. The transporter could malfunction and both copies of you would be lost and...

My back hurts a lot, as it does about 50% of the time now, does that count?
