CW: “The Hungry Earth” Dr. Who.
Its pretty frakking good so far. I think Matt Smith’s Dr. is way more vulnerable.
Happy Birthday Mr F, I can’t remember your DP alias.
Think caveman starting fires with rock for the surname.
Halflife goes 1984:
http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/05/25/half-life-2-launching-on-macs-this-wednesday/
Happy Birthday from me too, Mr. F…………?
Doritos Japan. WTF?
My brief, unqualified contribution to the new Millennium Dr. Who conversation:
Of the episodes I’ve seen, almost all have been rife with hokiness, but all three Doctors and most of the companions have been really magnetic, endearing personalities, and so even the bad episodes are still fairly enjoyable. Tennant is probably the most likable, though. He seems to have enjoyed the role the most.
(But Peter Davidson would out sonic-screwdriver all of ‘em)
Goodnight :Atik:
I still like the Skullcandy ear buds (as little as $15 on sale) but I had a bad spat where I was destroying them left and right. Turns out I had to loop ‘em around my head differently because my ear muffs at work were breaking the wires.
My favorite are from Razer. They make gaming mice, mostly, but they used to make a pair of earbuds called the m100. They were really awesome in the noise blocking and comfort zones. Now I’m wearing a pair of Razer Moray that are pretty nice.
I had a pair of Altec Lansing UE but … while the range and depth of the music was really nice, they weren’t worth the extra price (over $70) because they were not any sturdier and the cloth wrapped cord made lots of noise. Every time it moved, it sounded like a snare drum going off in my head.
For the odd occasion where I want to listen to music and actually hear what’s going on around me, I have a pretty old pair of Philips Earhook earbuds. I’m surprised how long they’ve lasted actually. They were sub-$20.
I’ve got a pair of Sennheiser (I think CX300?) waiting as backups for when the Razer’s fail out. I think I paid $40 for them. I’ve worn them a few times and I couldn’t really tell any difference from the Razers. Maybe a touch lighter overall?
I’ve got a drawer full of dead earbuds. Can you tell?
Wait. DanS likes vampires? =P
I do not like Amy Ponds. She needs to put on some pants.
I do not like the new Who. He needs to stop being so near-sighted.
I do, however, like Rory. He is turning into an actual character, while the Doctor is still being a caricature of himself. The way he stands up to the Doctor in Hungry Earth is sweet.
That said. I was watching a Tennent and Piper montage the other day and remembering how much I detested him when he first came on. He was ugly and gauky and boney and stiff and just so totally not right. How could world weary Doctor “die” and turn into this buffoon? It took Tennent a good season (maybe two) to grow into being the Doctor.
(Which makes me really wish I could visit the alternate Earth where Eccleson stayed on for more than just one lousy season. ‘Cuz he was awesome from the get go.)
I think that Smith will grow into the role and in another year he will feel right. What bothers me more is that this doesn’t feel like there is canon. It feels like a fanfic, not a real continuation of the same characters and the same series.
But I haven’t (yet) watched any of the old Who, so … maybe this is the way it has always been and I’ve just been used to the best that Who has ever been?
To be fair, I care less about the Doctor than I do about Rose and Donna.
I think that is by design though. I think I read something by one of the writers from the Baker days to that effect, that the companion is the stand in for the viewer. The Doctor can’t really be accessible or even grow much because he is already so much of the Other. So… he’s cool and stuff, but it is the companions that we identify with.
I hope I haven’t got this rockhittostartfires guy mixed up with a non DP fb friend.
Insert sheepish grin here —–> possibly.
Anyway, off to see the Prince of Persia movie.
Oh, and if you are looking for a pair of ear buds to drive you insane, or perhaps a pair to gift your worst enemy, may I recommend the Maximo iMetal earbuds.
They fall out.
They have an odd shape.
But most importantly, they ting. In your ear. With no provocation.
I have odd shaped ears and very sensitive ear canals due to a plethora of ear infections when I was young. Thus, I can’t wear any regular ear buds (they fall out) or in-ear ear buds (they hurt and create wax buildup). If I don’t want to look like an idiot walking around with my old-fashioned-princess-Leia-danish-strapped-to-the-side-of-the-head head phones (Sony MDR-V150), I have to use the earhook ear buds (Panasonic). The only thing I have about the earhook jobbies is that they get tangled up at the drop of a hat.
As for Doctor Who, I was never able to get in to it. Also never really got into Star Trek. I know this is heresy for most of the people in the sci-fi community, but I can’t change who I am and what I like.
Usedhair – Wait, what? You are not a lego man?
=D

Usedhair – Would something like these neckband headphones work for you? I’ve never tried the neckband style and am mildly curious how they work.
http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHS5200-Reflective-Neckband-Headphones/dp/B000QS2XS8/ref=pd_cp_e_2
Usedhair brought up something weird about my ears also that makes me not mind paying a little extra for earbuds. I also had many many ear infections so I have about 20% of my eardrum left in my right ear. I need something that has a very good range of sound because there are many tones I can’t hear well. if something has a tinny sound I may as well not use them because I can’t hear it anyway from my right ear. The tight fit also helps so it can block out other notices which helps a lot.
to sum up all the comments
Usedhair, Who Lost Earbuds
Ok, I’m caught up. Bring on Wednesday!
Morning Pan!
Question of the day: Is it me or is there some kind of ick factor involved when some guy tries to chat you up at the doctor’s office?
Just asking.
In today’s news:
Bad News: Hubby needs a root canal. On pain killers until Monday when they can get it done.
Good News: My yard is being torn up. Must move my car in an hour so the landscapers can get their equipment in.
Indifferent News: My painkillers are putting pretty sparklies in front of my face for me to try to catch
Bun Buns – I thought there was a general ick factor involving guys trying to chat (nonspecific) you up.
Usedhair = Mr. F?
Happy Bday!
Ugh. Hump Day.
I have come to a decision. I’m pretty sure the medical system is using me for their own personal blood bank considering the amount they’ve taken from me over the last few weeks.
Happy Birthday! You know who you are
That’s very true, Scry but I think it can be made worse depending upon what setting you are in.
In really good news, found a doctor who is willing to do more than pat you on the head and say “there, there”. Now let the experiments begin!
Hooray for experimentation! Bunny is going to be a test bunny!
“It didn’t have a number on it, did it?”

CP: Save Me — Aimee Mann
Such a sad song . . . I’m in a sad song mood today
I dunno. Some sort of LOST reference. Something about bunnies.
Ah, I’m one of those rare bunnies that doesn’t watch lost.
EssBee – Then you need coffee. It’ll warm your squishy bits.
I cheated and did a google on the phrase. I usually cheat. If it’s worth doing, then it’s worth cheating.
Good idea, NS.
CP: Downhearted Blues — Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers
see what I mean?
Oh my. That’s a down down down low song.
You need some hot coffee and some ridiculously bad country music. The crap that is so bad it makes you laugh at it…
There’s a tear in my beer
cause I’m crying for you dear
*Doing a silly bunny hop to cheer EssBee up*
I’m going to watch Buffy and then do the dishes.
Tootles.
Bunny, Nomad Scry is correct. It was a lost reference. One of my favorites. So you being lost would be fitting on so many levels.

I know a lot of people have a problem with hitting 30 but I didn’t have any trouble at all. I’m about 2 1/2 weeks from 31. I don’t feel old at all. I look at my mom who is 61 and i don’t think she is old either. now my grandpa who is 92 i would call old.
Reaper, I don’t have problems hitting the “0′s” my problem is with young whipper snappers fifteen years my junior
I’m off. Unfortunately, will have to listen to the latest LLAP tomorrow.
Might be back after lunch.
Later gators!
Ok, I lied. Your only 12 years my junior. Math is hard.
Willow: “He’s a poop head.”
That makes Bunny young enough to be my big sister. 0.o
CE: salt free pretzels.
who ever decided pretzels needed to be loaded in salt never had good pretzels.
Respectfully, in my opinion, hard pretzels are never good pretzels.
Nothing beats a good mall pretzel with the mustard and dammit now I’m hungry with no car.
I blame you reaper.
Decided to go for TWO episodes of the Buff. !!!
Anya: “That’s stupid.”
Xander: “I accept that.”

I hurt my throat laughing.
That’s a GREAT ep, NS. One of my favorites, even though it’s in S4 which is my least favorite of the 7.
CP: Master’s Hands — Charlotte Gainsbourg
NS, Your welcome. :) Soft pretzels are way better IMO. I also think the only thing a pretzel is helped by is mustard.
All I can say is that Whedon loves WTF character deaths.

Alton Brown’s pretzel recipe is made of win.
Dang, I might need to make some homemade pretzels this weekend then.
“What does it say?”
“Actual size.”
That was a lot of fun. But I still have dishes to do. =)
“actual size” — classic
ditto, awesome list! I think Dee from BSG should be #1.
Yeah. Dee got a big gasp from me. I did not see that one coming, not at all.
At least with most of them, someone was in danger.
I haven’t seen Mrs. Summer’s yet. And I kind of wish I didn’t know it was coming, cuz that must have wrecked some people in the day.
Having uttered valley-isms, I must now say “y’all come back now, heyah” to redeem my souls.
Sorry about any spoilers NS.
Alton Brown’s recipe for just about everything sounds like it is made of win. Maybe I’ll have to try a few of them while my wife is at her night class because I will be in charge of dinner.

POP was silly, silly fun. JG sounded dubbed although maybe be wrong about that.
Oh and I got accosted while watching the movie because a member of the cinema staff thought I was using a video recorder…it was my phone.

I can’t believe they didn’t mention the Library level in Halo, or the Pillars of Hades in God of War. All Ghillied Up was not that bad.
Street fighter, Maden and Gunstar Heroes are the only ones I haven’t had experience with.
Kart’s Rainbow Road gets the biggest middle finger from me.
The Gradius Easter Island head level can eat a dick.
New Super Mario Wii and a level with some weird floating things. That level can go blow a dirty goat.
I swear, one of the guys doing the front yard could be Vin Diesel’s brother. It kind of makes me quiver – in a good way.

Bunny, are you making popcorn for the event?
Should I do a play by play?
They’ve got most of trees cut down, and all the bushes pulled. Mr. Diesel light and another have actually left for a bit to do a dump run
The two left playing in my yard just don’t have the same affect on me

So we can put TEB in the ‘like muscles on blokes’ category.
You hear that Australia, don’t try selling the bunny any kangeroo in a can with a fat bloke in the ad.
It’s nice to look at but, nine times out of ten, the muscles seem to be in thier head also. That’s not so nice. Because of that, I prefer to look but not really talk to them.
Truth is Van, I’m in the livingroom regardless of who’s outside my window. I’m quite drugged up right now so laid out on the couch with my book.
CR: Flood – Stephen Baxter
Oh, the Vin look-a-like is back.
Boy it sure didn’t take long for them to reduce my yard to practically nothing. I figured it’d take several days, at least, to remove all the trees. Will have to go out tonight to take my first “during” pic. Although I expected the pics to show a more gradual change. It’s already quite drastic.
Change of subject: I wonder if hubby would be willing to order in dinner tonight. I just don’t think I feel like cooking tonight.
Just pulling your leg TEB, however if you really wanted to taste kangeroo:

CP: LLAP: 138
love the tilde
Let go of my leg, Van. That’s just mean.
I probably would like kangaroo. I’ve had a number of meats that would be considered exotic. I’ve liked them all
You may wanna restate that, Bunny. Wakka.
It gets worse, Lo Pan. Among other things, I’ve had beaver, snake and bunny! Tell me none of those sound wrong
usedhair: a passing familiarity with Hamlet is all you need. R & C r Ded is awesome. Even reading the play is totally worth it.
JfS: I really like Matt Smith as the Doctor, and Amy Pond (SWOOOOOOOOOON – I’ll just have to survive the wife) is awesome. The problem I’m having is that the writing seems sloppy or too loose with the Doctor character. I know it’s a new personality and all, and I like what Smith is bringing to that, but there are certain things that feel at times like the writing staff is overly inexperienced with the character (see my comment above about it feeling like a 1st season)
–That being said… The Hungry Earth has officially brought the “A” game. STUPID 2-PART EP…
NS: It does sort of feel like Mr. Smith goes to Galifrey… He’s not “all there”… I believe the first thing that I noticed was that he failed to notice so much, or rather, he noticed something EXTREMELY important, but focused on that while his companion was left to work out too much stuff on their own. Someone mentioned near-sighted, add Myopic to that. Although, Smith won me over from Fish Custard, so who am I to judge? — As for Classic who, there is a LOT of camp, but that was routinely tempered with decent story (look at the e-Space trilogy, Specifically “State of Decay” – that’s a whole lot of gothic hocum, but the story is awesome. NOTE: ignore the special effects. Just do it).

TEB: As long as you didn’t blow goats as well, I think we’re all happy about what goes in your mouth.
ummmmm.
Just was outside talking to Vin wannabe *swoon* Too bad he’s half my age. Oh well, the eye candy is nice.
OH, I’m all about Eye Candy.
There should be an app for that “iCandy”
Well the first one makes you sound very flexible.
cough
What the HELL am I saying???
I don’t have a smart phone upon which I could use “iCandy”
besides, it probably already exists.
Under how stupid can you be. I have landscapers, with tractors, etc working in my yard. The neighbour across the street pulls up and parks in front of my house, making it hard for the scapers to move with their equipment. Under, clueless… I went to knock on her door but she’s not answering. I’ll wait for her husband to come home and politely ask them not to park there for the next two weeks.
TEB: I don’t know how your city handles that parking issue, but in Phoenix I’m pretty sure you could have them towed… I don’t remember the specifics, though…
CP: Nostradamus — Judas Priest
Kyuss lyrics from Lo Pan!
Yeah Lejon. Given a choise, I’d rather try to solve the issue peaceably than make enemies of the neighbours.
TEB: Yeah, peaceful is good. I was just thinking, though, that your neighbor seems the kind of thick that would never figure out what happened to her car…
Well done, sir Jack.
The woman maybe, Lejon. I’m not so sure about the husband. It occured to me, we’ve lived here 14 years and I don’t even know who the neighbours across the street are, beyond nodding our heads when we see eachother. I know they’re red necks, though. He has the fake bullet holes on his truck and all, so we’ve never been inclined to introduce ourselves
I think I’m not a happy camper right now. While I know this doctor is actually trying, unlike the other one, the painkillers aren’t working at all and the “side affects may include” are hitting me big time. I think I’m going to be sick.
This looks like a job for Opium!
It is seventy nine degrees in my office. I thought it was a hot flash until I looked at the thermostat.
HELL. I work in Hell.
Sorry, Bunny. WTF. I’m worried about ya.

I too got the skullcandy earbud things. I only really use them when I am running, and I really refuse to pay a lot for that small “need”. I got them for $7 at a Marshall’s. They’re fine. Hell, we’re (nearly) all listening to mp3s, which are shit quality to start with.
Jack: Right on! Re: Waterfall level!
reaper: Gunstar heroes is kinda famous. Famous for what, you ask? I think I beat that game at least a dozen times. But damn it, it’s just so much fun to play again! Of course, I can’t say how well it holds up over the decade-plus since I played it.
DJ Bunny: Get well soon.
That’s all the nipple-skimming for me today.
heh heh… Nipple-skimming
What painkillers have you been prescribed TEB?
Painkillers can go suck a cock. Seriously. Theyve destroyed the lives of 2 people extremely close to me. People fucking freak out about legalizing pot when this shit is dolled out by docs willy fucking nilly.
Just tylenol 3′s, Van. Nothing exciting but more than I had a couple of days ago.
Oh see I thought we were talking prescribed behind the counter stuff. Nevamind…
Lo Pan: Don’t tell me people still think doctors are looking out for the patient’s well-being. It’s obviously nonsense.
Yes, I’m serious.
random video for the day. I can’t think of anything more random.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr5er4ueWBQ
I dont know many who do anymore.
I can’t speak for the US, Lo Pan but here, T3′s are prescribed behind the counter stuff.
At least that’s a good sign.
Yeah, T3 has codeine in it. Called redneck krunk in a pill. It is, in other words, an opiate.
Opiate for the masses! Opiate for the masses!
