I have trouble understanding why anyone STARTS smoking.

It does suck. BUt at least it wan't your fault. I've flooded several ceilings by virtue of stupidity. I warrant you've not done so here. Ok, the saga continues. We have to replace the water heater itself, which might be under warranty, I'll call about it tomorrow. If it's not, we are looking at about $1,000 there. I don't mind that too much, it wasn't a very efficient water heater to start with. The neighbor's ceiling is another matter. Apparently she noticed it last night and asked another neighbor to help her set buckets up to catch the water. SHE DIDN'T THINK KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA?!? I woke up and found it leaking prett steadily, if she had knocked on our door we could have turned it off earlier and prevented some of the damage at least. Regardless, we'll be paying a couple thousand for the repair most likely.

I didn't get to it early enough, and now my downstairs neighbor is going to need a bunch of work on her ceiling. This sucks.

The Pixar plague?

A pipe for my water heater started leaking pretty heavily last night. I woke up at around 11:00 after going to bed at 9:00. I'm not sure how much it leaked, but I think I got to it early enough.

48%. There were a lot of movies I remember seeing bits and pieces of, but I don't remember sitting down and watching the whole thing.

I thought Tropic Thunder was worth watching based on Robert Downey Jr.'s performance alone.

I did really enjoy playing through the first act in Titan Quest. I thought it was very well done. I just get tired of the click fest style after about 20 hours.

I got the Reservist rifle off a hobo in some burnt down church. It rocked.

Sweet picture Bok, no clones to be seen anywhere. The PC version does look pretty fantastic.

Hmm, I thought it was more of a borefest like Diablo 2, to be honest.

I enjoyed Hellboy II a lot and probably put it higher than Hulk and Han****. I went into Hulk with very low expectations after the previous one, and I was pleasantly surprised. Edward Norton does that a lot though, and the City of God cinematography alone was worth the ticket price. Han**** was so-so. I enjoyed it as a popcorn flick.

TSN is reporting that it's likely down to New York or Vancouver. So Hurlshot, how many more games do the sharks have against Roloson this year? If Edmonton wins tonight they'd be in 8th place. San Jose - Edmonton first round playoff matchup? :D We don't talk about the playoffs in San Jose.

In Wow, I used to go around Stormwind with a few Paladins barking orders at people. Sometimes it led to fairly good session of acting, sometimes it just led to a few laughs. Sometimes we ended up running away from over-acting emo folks (who always seemed to be night-elves.) The point is, Stormwind is a pretty nice tennis court.

Man, the Sharks just seem incapable of losing games in regulation. I think they could just have everyone sit on the bench for the first period, let the other team shoot into the empty net as many times as they want, and still go out and win the game in the last two periods.

Is that on the PSP or DS? What is it?

Jagged Alliance (the original) is supposed to come out on the DS soon. I saw some screenshots and it actually looks pretty solid.

MMO's can be an excellent platform for RP, but the developers aren't responsible for the fact that there are a lot of morons in the world. It all comes down to the company you keep.

You don't think you will upgrade to a DirectX 10 card eventually? I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed Buffy, but I'd put Angel above it. Buffy's best moments were created by fringe characters, like the second vampire slayer who went crazy and Spike. I would put Firefly even higher, but honestly I think if Firefly had 5 seasons, it wouldn't have been as great. These shows lose steam over time, and Firefly has the curse and the blessing of dying young. Angel was filled with good times. The whole law firm that represents demons and other evil creatures was fantastic. And it was a more adult theme. But none of these are high art or anything. Buffy is 90210 and Angel is Melrose place, but for fantasy geeks. Firefly is essentially Growing Pains.

I don't think Age of Conan messed up the setting, in fact I think Tortage was a fantastic voyage through a Robert Howard story. I just think the game lost focus after that. Maybe they needed more time, or they needed to focus their efforts on less content.

Are you agreeing with her actions? It's one thing to disagree with the war, and even protesting the war. Her actions went above and beyond that. Just like it is one thing to hate your parents and not attend their funerals, but getting on the coffin as it is lowered into the ground and whooping in glee is in very poor taste.

Geez, she was 34 when she did that. I thought she was younger. She can't even blame it on the naivet

I believe it was an anti-aircraft gun.

Jane Fonda might be the exception to my rule. Using celebrity to spout uninformed political opinions is one thing, but sitting on a weapon that is used to fire upon US soldiers is unforgivable. Blech.
