"...foiled..." Curses! And: I concur with, "..., my ass!" -- "dropped his cell phone"? Well, it's its own punishment -- saltwater doesn't just rinse off, that car is ruined. I mean, that'll be well over $100,000 for the repair bill, which, admittedly, is less than the replacement cost of the car ("priceless"), but somehow I suspect that car is toast.

From experience, they will probably change the "you're unemployed" jokes to "you were unemployed" jokes. Which are about as funny as refurbished comedy can be, I.E. not.

For Dan, but thought I'd post it here, in case anyone else was into automatics: Amazon.com: Double automatic watch winder: Watches Also: YARGH! My favorite deal site is down (todaysdod) -- does anyone else have any favorites that they can recommend? Probably the single best thing I liked about todaysdod was the fact that it was (a) all-encompassing, and ( didn't have a lot of stray deals that were either out-dated, obvious spam, false rumors, or generic (e.g. Dealigg). I'll go to dealigg and dealsucker, but wouldn't mind other suggestions.

Welcome to yesterday. Keep up.

Won't that make them less soft?

Awesome. I especially liked the sad-looking happy guy, because I've told people many times, "no, I'm not unhappy, my face is just built that way".

Just had some Panang Chicken from Pilin. Initially, I didn't read "anitas" as "Anita's", I read it as rhyming with "adidas", and was wondering what kind of place that was, Greek?

I thought it was really cool that they brought back someone from the dead for the 5th cylon by having her resurrect before they destroyed the resurrection hub. I was pretty much stuck on people who were alive. In order: Starbuck, Roslin, Gaeta, Adama. And somewhere along the line, I got confused -- I thought Zarek was a cylon, and somehow people forgot he was a cylon. Now I'm going to have to watch the whole series over again.

QFL. QFT -- I would just like to say, I called it. Yeah, this seemed inconsistent to me as well. It's been done -- it was called "Bambi vs. Godzilla". I'm with postjack -- the ending didn't suck. It was sufficiently open-ended to live up to the premise of the show, and sufficiently wrapping up that I didn't really feel there were too many loose ends. There were decisions I did not like -- I hated Baltar from the beginning, and I agree that in my mind, he gets eaten by a lion like 3 days after the last time you see him alive. I have no idea what Starbuck is supposed to be -- a ghost with corporeal form? WTF? Oh, wait, I just remembered something. And this is funny, because I didn't pick it up when the President of the Colonies was smoking pot with the Admiral of the Fleet, I picked it up when they were abandoning Galactica, and amongst the extras a guy with a bongo drum walks by. This is a show by hippies, about hippies, for hippies. So yeah, there's going to be some mind-expanding philosophical horseshit. Never did like that part, never will. Starbuck should have gotten together with Apollo, and fucked his brains out, they both deserve a little happiness as well. The only thing missing was the CGI fairy dust glow upon her disappearance. OH PLEASE. But the whole thing about the cylons vs. humans, Galactica coming in right in front of the armature, guns blazing, Boomer giving one back to Adama when she owed him one, and then getting hers anyway; Chief strangling what's-her-name when he found out she killed Callie, ruining any chance of finishing the transmission, the stray nuke -- all of that wasn't climactic enough for you people? Jesus, what the hell do you want, blood? That (a) fucking rocked, ( was certainly climactic enough for me, and © certainly wrapped up a great many loose ends. Also, the whole thing about Baltar's purpose being to delivering the child to the CIC, "that's it?!?!?" -- that was awesome. Better than killing him. EDIT: I'm only just now going through this whole thread, so I'll just keep appending to this post, rather than multi-part respond. EDIT: okay, I'm done.

Happy Birthday!

As has been said, as long as you've backed everything up, you can delete it. It's a copy of your old C:/Windows directory. If you haven't, I'd just offload it to an external hard drive and then delete it. It is correct to assume that it is not currently using it.

OMG, Calexico opened? I love Calexico, and live they are stupendous. They never disappoint. EDIT: Oh, it's just Joey and John. They're missing the pedal steel guitarist, I have no idea if I'd like them in the duo format. Nvrmnd.

The picture was smaller/my eyesight is deteriorating/didn't spend that much time looking at it other than the small gold box picture. Once clicked, everything became clear.

I liked my imagery better.

Yeah, I have no idea what that urban-sidewalk-meets-brick-wall between "...^t..." and "...H(α)..." is meant to convey. Is that APL for "something mysterious happens here" or "fuzzy logic", perhaps?

Almost bought this (gold box right now) to organize my media: ...because I thought it was lifesize and it matched my organizational skills. And came with a slave. But alas, he does not move. And is scaled down. ...so I didn't think it was appropriate to post this under "deals" or "recently bought".

Oh fuck, that penguin has laser beam vision! On a more serious note, that looks like a very cool toy.

"Outside, you can see the difference; Inside, you can feel the difference..."

It's always a losing battle. (a) They have numbers on their side. ( Everyone fighting against stupidity end up fighting for different things, but the idiots are by their very nature united in their goal.

Uh, no, TMI.

Sometimes. So far, nothing constructive: fed the cats, got an allergy shot, gas, some groceries, my woot robot from the post office (didn't know what it was, but it said "delivery confirmation", which I misunderstood as "signature required", so I thought it was important, otherwise I would've waited until the next time I went). Just got in to work.

Okay, now see, that makes moar sense.
