"Yeah, we're going to have to kill the fish tank..." Edit: Oh and for the random interest, Executive Produces Whedon and Tancharoen gave a walk through about each character to TV Guide TVGuide - Meet the Agents of Shield

Things every self-respecting man over 30 should have...
Hm, in comparison I have my "everyday walking" shoes - which are actually caterpillar hiking boots. A pair of formal black shoes. A pair of classic white/black two-tone leather shoes. Plain black trainers that are seriously getting worn... And a pair of snakeskin cowboy boots...

Not sure if the lethargic feeling through most of the day was caused by not being able to start the day off with a cup of tea as normal, the blood they took, or the three hours sleep I had. Probably a combination of all three... Still, tis heading towards night and I am ritually crumbling a Cadbury's flake into slowly boiling milk.- Things every self-respecting man over 30 should have...
Heh. For something I threw on here for the random amusement, I was not expecting it to run to 3 pages and a few hundred views...- Things every self-respecting man over 30 should have...
Mmh, apart from whole "only jewelry a man should wear" aspect, it's basically the only way to know the time while in court. Heh, I managed to get through my last few years of secondary school wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch without getting into any fights..- Things every self-respecting man over 30 should have...
Did you not note the "I'm both curious and amused at what people think should be added to this list or removed from it." aspect to my post? It's kind of like the list someone's put together based on half a dozen of the last few years "charming, persuasive, leading men on tv" from things like the Mentalist, White Collar, and the rest of the like.- What's on the idiot box...
Hm, doesn't Netflix do a free month where you can trial it? So you could do that, watch all of Breaking Bad that's there, then cancel it once the month is done? The Kevin Spacey version of House of Cards is on Netflix if you haven't caught that yet..- Movies You've Seen Recently
The one I like about this.. is that all of the "how they did this" is explained by Morgan Freeman's character, but that's only how he thinks they did it. Apart from the very first trick he walks through, they never actually say how close he got to how they pulled off the various magic tricks. Which is how I don't worry so much over that silly big ass mirror / safe trick.- Movies You've Seen Recently

The statistics are quite low for North American's to have passports. I think it's around 30-35% of the population have valid passports. Although if I remember the statistics, that doesn't count foreign-born American's who have moved into the country. That and it usually comes down to around only 13 million American's travel abroad - as in, serious travel as opposed to just a quick jaunt across the border to Mexico or Canada - each year. It's something like 30 million trips abroad per year, but most of those are by the same people, such as regular business travel. Edit: And for the quirky trivia - Apparently of the 18 states with the highest number of passports, 17 of them voted Obama at the last election. The one that didn't.. was Alaska. And the 11 states with the lowest number of passports issued all voted Romney.- Things every self-respecting man over 30 should have...
My parents had me wearing full formal dinner jackets and bowties and the like from when I was 8. I grew up with that whenever we went on a cruise ship , so dealing with that has never felt like a chore to me.. And wearing a nice suit can certainly make you feel sharp. But I wouldn't wear one every day..- Things every self-respecting man over 30 should have...
Heh, so I saw this and thought I'd throw it over here buzzfeed - Things every self-respecting man over 30 should own, with the varied crowd of folk here I'm both curious and amused at what people think should be added to this list or removed from it. Let alone how many of us have items from this list..- SW: The Old Republic Part 5
When I started doing some of the high level flashpoints with my Sith Inquisitor, we had a crappy tank and the rest of the group ended up talking me into tanking when they kicked him out. So even though I was spec'd for DPS and geared that way, I was tanking through several fp's and able to handle it fairly well. A couple of people had to leave, so ended up with some fresh random's coming into it and were doing the Illum flashpoints. At which point my basic tanking skills really stopped working, and the healer had absolutely no idea what he was doing, so we had a couple of party wipes. I actually said about what had happened and why I was tanking, I offered to quit out so they could get an actual tank but they wanted to try again so I went along with it. Then several minutes in, one of the guys stopped and was all "Hell, all your gear is Crit and Accuracy!" and then they kicked me out without any warning or words beyond that.- What's on the idiot box...
Hm, don't think so. Although all I really know is it's a public company and the CEO is still one of the co-founders. And Google talked about acquiring them some months back. But it's something like £5.99 for a month for it, and I think it's pretty much the only way you can watch all of Breaking Bad in the UK unless you get all the dvd's. Or download it via other sources.- What's on the idiot box...
In the UK, probably Netflix.- What you did today
"Crazy girls. Crazy girls are the best. They're wild as hell to hang out with. The sex is incredible. You never know what's going to happen. The problem is, there's no real good way of ending it with girls like that. I've changed jobs and moved. Faked my death. And they're there. At the funeral. They aren't even subtle about it. They show up and they're dressed like whores. God I love crazy girls."- No such thing as evil - top trumped

Especially when he found out Walt was Heisenberg. It wasn't that he was a criminal, it was more that he'd hurt Hank's pride over being right there under his nose. Hell, Walt literally told him he was moving quarter of a million in cash at one point and Hank just thought it was a joke and ignored it. I don't know about you, but I could get the sense that Hank wouldn't have been that bothered by it if it wasn't for that hurt pride and the way it would look - the DEA agent who didn't know his own brother-in-law was a criminal mastermind.- What's on the idiot box...
I have to say, the wives were pretty damn annoying and whiney and generally hypocritical messes throughout the series.- What you did today

I keep doing bits and pieces at the moment rather then focusing. I've got a Sage at 46 who's about 1/3 of the way through Belsavis. My Smuggler and Inquisitor are both at 54, I've got my Trooper hovering at 19 and an Imperial Agent at 20. The rest I've left at 50 having completed their class stuff. I've been playing the game since it first came out and I still haven't actually done any of the operations. I should probably get around to trying the queue for one at some point....- KaineParker's hopefully attractive women thread.
