With all apologies to New Orleans Can we just get some dutch engineers to figure out the flood points on the mississippi river and shore them up with concrete and rebar? A few drainage outlets, perhaps some planned lakes for these events to reduece the pressure? It's so possible it's not funny.
We're just cheap on infrastructure, too busy making sure ye old industrial militray complex has a big cut of it. This is really a silly problem for a first world country to be having. In the wetlands of the southeast. While the plains may flood, there's no reason the rivers need to break through. Generate jobs, add to local economys, can't be all that bad. | | Monday, June 16th, 2008 | | 10:18 pm |
Battlestar fans
Dear end of the worlders.
Battlestar is not badly done, the mid-season final's show wasn't bad, and if it was bad, you'd not be screaming about it and waiting a year for the next episodes.
He's not an idiot, he has a script, and he's bound by the basic rules of sci fi: Get renewed and stay in budget. Also, if a strike occurs and your people have contracts to do stuff after the normal tv shooting season, re-write the story to fit into a large gap instead of 20+ episodes straight through.
Even the best guys who wrote it end to end so to speak, MJS (bab 5 writer) constantly pointed out the need for adjustments. The plotlines stayed, elements changed. He had set pieces and flex. I'm sure these guys also have had to change stuff. Stuff didn't work, or they had ideas they changed. The way I read people write about them, you'd think it was the worst show on tv.
Suckers, you'll be there in 2009. Lost lost alot of fans with some stuff they did, this show hasn't. Please stop writing like you can do a better job. You can't. If you can and you're not doing it, shame on you. Just sit back and enjoy it, curse them out for the last episode or how this or that goes, but please don't call them idiots or bad writers cause you wanted a different take. If it was obvious, no one would watch. | | Sunday, June 8th, 2008 | | 10:40 am |

When I went to Stonehenge, I had a hanger with me, I shaped it like an Ankh, pointed it.
Let's just say I didn't have the experience the person in the video did.
Someone saw what I was doing and got the refrence and laughed.
And no, I did NOT expect anything to happen. It's like when I went through the roundabout in a cab and kept going 'look kids, parliment, Big Ben': Alone in the cab cept for the cabbie.
I wonder what happened to the me who came back from Europe in 1995. | | Tuesday, May 13th, 2008 | | 6:41 am |

Wow There's always a part of you as a fan that tries to think logically about it. Logically I thought the Giants would have to play perfect, and that's just to have a chance. Entertained notions that the Pats didn't have a real tough game for months, and all they played for was records...
As a fan, you think you can win. You see the mismatches in your favor and ignore the ones in their favor...
Wow, I screamed, I cursed, I bitched and moaned, I cheered, and I even lolol'ed (yes, I say lol out loud)...
aw jea

Cloverfield So, as I see it, it's one of three things. I had a guess after the movie. A friend is telling me what he read from the Abrahms sites... I'll put the three choices to you and my choice from before (I had a 1 in 3 shot, and might have been right, I'm not changing my answer IF I was wrong. And If he is right/I was right if I agreed, which again, 1 in 3 ;P)
It's an Alien. UFO alien...
It's a government project/bio weapon gone out of control...
It's 'natural'. Either a lost dinosaur, a radioactive accident (as opposed to bio weapon), giant sea monster, or slumbering something else awoken.
My vote is Alien.
Discuss amongst yourselves, try to keep spoilers to a minimum for those who haven't downloaded it yet, or saw it in a theater like moi ;) | | Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 | | 9:48 pm |
Iowans ahoy Dear Iowa... fcuk Iowa... fcuk New Hampshire. and v3rmont for that matter, shout out to Hayes Nothing against Iowans (sorry Tuil), or NHers or even v3rmontanders, this just needs to be said. We've grown a tradition of letting these little states winnow our candidates out before the 'big' states get a shot. It's about time they started moving the primarys up. F both parties for threatening anyone who jumped Iowa with losing votes. States with a smaller population than Puerto Rico hearby forefit all rights to an early primary. Don't like that? I got one, how about every state gets their primary in the order they joined the union? Too east coast centric? sorry, we only have like the biggest population density. Be happy you're keeping your 3 votes, Wyoming. I'm reserving judgement on who they picked this year, but in general, all the pandering to farmers who don't even grow food any more has got to stop. I miss the days where we produced enough food to feed half the world. Not that supporting gross overpopulation is a good thing, but making ethanol fuel shouldn't cause corn, beer, milk, wheat and every other thing we grow like weeds to skyrocket in price while we subsadize people not growing. bah, the system is so screwed. Before we get into Red State/Blue State, remember how many big states voted Red before you dismiss this. This election has been being run for over a year now, and I'm hoping for aliens to take over the planet before we elect the next hypocrite. We welcome our antannae'd overlords.

I was gonna rant about lee jeans, but... I found out, today, that the reason I've been getting the 'crazys' calling me nonstop is because our gift card company put my private line on all 35 machines we rolled out. What this means is that of the 1000's of gift cards issued over the last 15-20 days, they all have my company name and my desk's direct phone number on them...
oh christ.
HELLO, SOMEONE GAVE ME YOUR STORE'S GIFT CARD FOR CHRISTMAS AND I DON'T WANNA BUY ANYTHING FROM YOU, GIMME MY CASH!
CUSTOMER SERVICE
CUSTOMER SERVICE, CUSTOMER SERVICE, CUSTOMER SERVICE (sung to exterminate by the Daleks)...
I help set up the accounts and maintain the physical machines. that's it. No money, no ability to play with the cards. I am help desk L1-3 all wrapped up in 1.
I am fubar and fuxored every way by tangentially today, and for the next few months/years I suspect. Current Mood:  crazy | | Monday, December 24th, 2007 | | 9:37 pm |
