Good morning, Pan and happy Sunday to you all.
I’m drinking coffee and buzzing around wondering where everyone is.
Work for me, sigh.
BSG SPOLIER ALERT!!!!!!!!!- you have been warned
I won’t say too much in case this get read-
the Starbuck explanation annoyed me
the lack of Daniel info annoyed me (although I am wondering if they are saving that for that 2 hour the cylon side of the story movie thing they are doing.
The fact that Balter made it to the end annoyed me :) Although 1 thing I was wondering was are they basically saying that Balter and Caprica 6 become angels themselves?? The visions of themselves they both see… is that them as angels?
I loved the old cylon toasters vs new cylon toasters fight scenes.
Hugh and I generally liked the finale except those few annoyances I mentioned
I cried over Adama and Rosalyn :) I was totally sobbing like a baby. LOL. I am such a sap.
Good morning Pan!
If you’re not on the mailing list and haven’t seen it yet, go to ninja2009.com for free Nine Inch Nails/Jane’s Addiction/Streetsweeper content.
Sunday means tax prep time has come along at last… grr
Don’t get me wrong, we’ve got a tax accountant who wades through all the data and makes sure we don’t need to pay much more, but it is time for us to get all the data in line for her.
P.A.Y.E. is the motherfucking way for tax.
… and a day later …
Yes Van, the special Olympics quip.
The others are a sampling of the quotes the former president issued on a weekly if not daily basis. He was such risk at saying something offensive/stupid/dangerous that at fund raising functions … donors were forbidden to bring recording devices around him. (I got that directly from an attendee of one of these functions).
Yes, the one lesson that Obama has mostly learned is to make sure that teleprompter is always up and running. Bad things happen when he’s allowed to speak on his own.
Jack: Thanks! I posted links to that blog post on several LJ communities dedicated to Watchmen. Was there anything else you had in mind when you said “that deserves bigger blog coverage than Deadpan?”
Evening, Deadpan!
I’m settled in for the finale of Big Love tonight. I just installed Google Chrome – so far, lookin’ good.
I use Chrome on my desktop, but for some reason on my laptop it won’t display the deadpan website properly.
Dollhouse.
Just watched. Nice.
Just watched the first part of the Battlestar Galactica mini-series. I’m glad we are finally getting around to it.
The BSG finale has me all screwed up. I am twisted with that happy-sad that comes from a good ending and disgust-rage at the lack of a good ending.
Please, just give me one, not both at the same bloody time.
So Mt. Redoubt finally blew three times last night. Sounds impressive, though under cover of darkness, of course. The USGS has of course been monitoring it and I had been hearing since January that it was imminent.

Whoops, actually looks more like four major explosions. Check it out, I’m quicker on my toes than the AP…

Okay, I was restraining myself, but I just can’t help but point and laugh at Jindal right about now.
Cj, it gets better. The mini-series was good; the series is great.
Morning, Deadpan! I hope everyone is well this morning.
Two words: Atmo drop. You’ll understand when you get to that episode. ;)
Muwahahahahahahahahaha
So say we all!

Most of us don’t watch the Beeb.
Well Knightmare was on ITV:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightmare
… but could be swapped out for ‘Knight Rider” if anyone is uncomfortable with that.
Or Krypton Factor if you want to be really obscure.
cough
Or Kids Incorporated, if you can admit having watched that.
(especially if you wanted to bang Martika)
Uh, theoretically speaking, of course…
Aaaaaand I killed the board.
Apparently not many Kids Inc. fans around here, JB.
Only marginally a fan here Jack, aside from the whole…
Well, you know…
ZOMG! I LOVED Kids Incorporated..
All around the nation, whoa oh, we’re the new sensation
.. Kids Incorporated K – I – D – S!

I also have a Martika album.

Never heard of Kids Inc. Martika was kinda cute though. :)

Well time to rummage around the old MP3 player.

Thunderbirds was well liked in Japan..it’s influence is obvious in some of the cut scenes and the drum roll in EBA.
CP: Orinoco Flow – Enya
I’m going to write an article called Ways to Avoid Getting Work Done with content such as, “Keep Deadpan message board open and post names of TV shows all day long instead of entering data into spreadsheets like you should be doing.”
CP: The Whole Night Sky – Christine Collister
120 Minutes came on every Sunday night after the Young Ones! My dyed-black hair is in my pale mopey face right now.

CP: Lighthouse – The Waifs
SMARTS are definitely not cars. A guy at my office has one and pretty much regrets buying it – the MPG is nowhere close to what’s advertised.

The truth will set you free?
Last one for the night.
CP: Super Duper Love – Joss Stone
Anyone know anything or have opinions to share about the movie “Knowing” ?
Not till the weekend…doesn’t open here till then.
Loved Dark City though.
CW: Law & Order from last Wed.
CW: Pingu
again.
^LOL
I only watch it long enough to get the little ones enthralled then I escaped to do dishes and start dinner.
I swear, I’m not enjoying it. LOL :P
Sure….we believe you :)
Ron Moore’s 2 hour 20 minute commentary on the final three hours of BSG has been posted. Can’t wait to hear it.
Didn’t see “Knowing” but I went and saw “Taken”.
Action adventure that you’ve seen before. Any of you kids ever see Bronson’s “Death Wish” series?
Action sequences we’re chocked full-o-action.
First third of the movie was painful “set-up” for the rest of the film. It was like everyone (Including the director) just wanted to “get on with it”.
Over all … Sure, give it a look – but I’d wait till you can download it from Amazon for $1.99.
Oh BTW … it IS quit violent.
quit = quite
OK. This is personal – but we’re all close now, right?
I did a new workout routine this morning and It’s literally kicking my ass right now. I can barely sit on my sore ass! It means it’s working right? It fricken hurts.
boo hoo
What doesn’t kill you – makes you HOT !!!!
… er, ah … or stronger or something like that.
oops. sorry.
killed the Deadpan again.
Nah, we are just waiting for the rimshot.
Cylons are mean and Apolllo has no lips.
Off to catch up on sleep. So. Very. Tired.
Good night, Mushy Pan.
This is pretty awesome:

Wow, CJ figured out the secret of the whole series and has just begun watching!
:)
tip for the day – water heaters aren’t cheap and need to be replaced on occasion. Check yours out – if it’s leaking into the drip pan, budget for a new one soon. Also, if you are a family with kids using lots of hot water for laundry, showers, and dishes I think the traditional tank design is probably going to be the most economical solution. The “tankless” ones have about 2-4x the installed cost and I don’t see my usage pattern providing enough energy savings for the cost difference.
Enjoy your Tuesday.
Jack – that is quite … spherical
Don’t be fooled by the accent Cj, Apollo is a Brit.
Afternoon Pan, things aren’t smoking..something to be thankful for.
Morning, Deadpan! I’m back to Evil after a sick day.
Evil takes sick days? I thought it made sick days.
I think the Computer King has a new minion….
I am not Evil, md, I just work there.
Off to another day of teaching.
So far Apollo is not my favorite.
Good morning, everyone. I’m heading out to the park to run amok with little people!
EssBee, no, you’re more of an ambiguous henchman who’s just in it for the dental plan. :P
*wonders if Canadian government is still railing @ Fox News*
Exactly!
