Humodour

Almost 2 years since Meta was lost on. It's all your fault, Deraldin... you drove him away!

Great time to go on a holiday to the States. Actually, given the Aussie dollar's massive appreciation against the Zloty, I think a trip to Poland is in order. Actually, it could seriously be a neat idea. Poland is developed, exotic, close to the rest of Europe, and everything is probably about half or a third as expensive there. Except it'll be winter by Christmas when I want to go. ****. Also, I don't speak a whit or Polish.

MATT MACLEAN!!!

Interesting article on America's dollar and debt here. http://seekingalpha.com/article/165538-fal...front-page-news Thoughts?

Try replacing 'weird' with 'stupid'. Angel got absolutely ridiculous in the last few seasons, and not ridiculous in a fun or enjoyable way. This must have been the part I saw then. The whole part with Angel's son and stuff, that was later seasons I suppose? It was wildly ridiculous anyway. The plot just went to **** when they introduced Angel's son and killed off Cordelia. I suppose the very last season was a bit better, from memory. They had Spike and the weird demon god fighting with them, right?

And here we are in Australia with fact that we now have a public debt being used as one of the rallying cries of the Coalition. Don't get me wrong; it's good. But how could countries like America and the UK let the deficit get that bad unless there was some upside or benefit? Perhaps there's just no immediately obvious downside...? I can think of one: the biggest creditor for your countries is a secretive authoritarian communist regime.

Yes, exactly. And she was a .

Are they DRM-free? Unless a store is DRM-free I'll stick to Steam. At least I know they're unlikely to ever go bankrupt.

K-Lite is good.

Hmm. Let's see... I would give even less of a damn than I do now.

Is totally better than you.

I think it's being overstated how bad it actually is. Dude...it's been like 2 fu----- weeks!! overstated, my ass! What are you saying? Are you a communist sympathiser, son?

Looks like new aliens with advanced technology to be able to hitch a ride without setting off any sensors. Or one of the Destiny's probes. Hard to tell. It had a shield active. Also, why does everyone think Robert Carlyle is so good? Stargate has had a lot better actors in both Atlantis and SG-1.

No I didn't you silly ****. I could call somebody a die-hard anime fanatic or soccer fanatic and all it would mean is that they really, really like anime or soccer. Similarly, people who were fans of Firefly, Buffy, or Angel are likely to enjoy Dollhouse where the average viewer may see little appeal. Any negative connotations you attach are purely in your head, along with a quirky inferiority complex.

Latest episode (the Nazi crow one) was retarded. I'm sick of shows trying to get away with dumbass **** like this. Either the producers are idiots or they think we are.

Quite an over-reaction there Volourn. I never said anybody else shouldn't like this or that because I don't like it others should stop watching it. I merely said I don't like it. Does that offend your sensibilities? Perhaps you should heed your own advice: people don't like something you do, boo hoo you poor diddums.

OK. I'm a Sega representative. Basically, we've asked Obsidian to quietly delay their game and take the time to add more crates, barrels, and container-like objects. They've been such good chaps about it and you really shouldn't blame them for the delay. I suppose you can blame us at Sega, but trust me, the extra cratey goodness will be worth it!

Actually, that's not entirely true, is it? Not enforcing a trademark risks it becoming generic and being lost. C.f. Aspirin. S'pose that's tangential, though. Cheers for the second part of your post on the various levels of genericism for gun names. Interesting, but what has Obsidian chosen to go with for AP? And what did you go with for Aliens?

I've given up on this series. It's ****. I never was a die-hard Wedon fanatic like some people appear to be, though.

I refuse to ask questions of those who use blatantly religionist terms like 'thrice-damned' when claiming to be good communists. It's poetic license. Huh? But I thought we rounded up all the poets under the guise of a government-sponsored national poetry contest and had them all executed? Are you a dissident, son?

Heh. The polls taken in Australia during his election, on who would be preferred if Australians were voting, had numbers like 70% for Obama and 20% for McCain. In Australia, and I suspect much of Europe, the Democrats would take up the position currently occupied by the resident right-wing party. Anyway, Nobel prizes are silly and they don't award the real intellectual discipline anyway - maths. Give me a Fields medal any day. Although I suppose an Abel prize is a more direct analogue now days.

No he hasn't. But I guess in your black and white world, everyone on the show is either 'good' or 'bad'.

It's sunny here. I went bushwalking in the Blue Mountains today. It rained briefly but that just made it more beautiful.
