For anyone who wasnt sure, Canada is bloody cold.

Really? Get over - next thing you'll be telling us that water is actually wet.

I've noticed a lack of activity, too. Some boards haven't had a post in a bit.

Do you expect the mighty lord Cthulhu to send all his minions against your mighty firewall at one time???? We work by subterfuge, in your dreams you shall be welcomed into the tentacled goodnees of the lord. ia ia Cthulhu fthangan

Right...

Anyway, it's official. I've had three good days at work in a row. They're ice-skating in hell.

Well, I probably won't be around much for a couple of days. Wifey is receiving her M. Ed. on Tuesday morning, so we'll be up watching her commencement and then celebrating.

She's getting a talking horse? Cool!

In all seriousness, congrats on her Masters.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Aye, congrats to her for such a great educational achievement.

That is awesome Mikey.


And glad your ok Tsu.

[Sionnach Glic]

Glad to see you back, Tsu.

In other news, I've just watched Ireland's entry for the Eurovision song contest. On the plus side, we still managed to beat the UK. Somehow.

[Graham Kennedy]

It probably helped that our song was so awful.

Actually, I liked Germany's entry. It was the only song in the whole competition that I could see myself sitting and listening to.

It was simple you failed to live up to the deal. We gave you a lot of points and you failed to give us a lot...

I probably should have seen this coming. Went to the TvTropes and found a thread about "The Event" a TV show here in the states. I took a look and turns out it got canceled. Had a few people bemoaning it. For some incomprehensible reason I felt the need to say that it wasn't surprised. The show had eight seasons then went on a holiday hiatus to come back in the spring. The wife and I watched the first eight episodes but didn't start back in spring. I pointed out that it lost us largely because it was just coasting on the momentum of an awesome opening. It didn't give any answers and after watching Lost for however many seasons it ran we weren't interested in watching another show that had no idea what it was really doing.

Anyways, I've now got this guy on my ass about how we didn't give it a chance (eight episodes of an hour long show. Six hours of running time or the same amount of time that it took to get through all three Bourne movies) and that I was obviously one of those people who can't be satisfied and have no patience. I'm the reason reality TV keeps killing "good" shows like The Event.

Should have seen it coming.

[Mikey]

As long as you admit that it wasn't people like you. Rather, you and you alone are the reason behind every cancellation in the history of TV.

Dammit, Tyyr, give me back my Star Trek!

[Tyyr]

Fuck no, not until Berman and Braga die!

I mean fucking hell. Six hours of screen time, how much of a chance am I supposed to give something to produce a character or plot point that can hold my attention? Did the fact that this "awesome" show had a thread with only 60 posts prior to mine on the damn TvTropes site not clue him in to this show maybe not being all that?

[Nickswitz]

Supposedly Netflix may be picking it up to run it on it's own. Which would be cool as a start-up idea, I could care less about the show itself, but imagine shows being aired from Netflix and you just get them if you want, pay your price and you get TV shows that wouldn't exist otherwise.

Dammit, first Heroes and now The Event? Man, I really liked both those shows. I guess it's back to watching Firefly reruns on Science Channel...

We have officially adopted a 4 year old female chocolate Shi-Tzu named Truffles. She looks like Wickett the Ewok! As long as she doesn't poke me with pointy sticks or build a smash trap out of tree trunks we'll be fine.
