  • Hard News: Blog About Cat,

    Cats, like most animals, see eye contact as threatening. Humans are the reverse.

    Speak for yourself!

  • Hard News: Chicken soup,

    More and More indications of something being rotten in the deal.

    Though not a peep here for a week (only "questions asked" on the 25th).


    Likewise, no sign there of what should be the biggest story of the day, namely that the banking ombudsman has found that ANZ told large investors to get out of the collapsing ING fund, while telling small investors that it was all good.

  • Radiation: Geek, annoyed,

    For anyone still looking for answers this forum post from a Bad Robot intern (Bad Robot is Lost's production company) claims inside knowledge, and lays out a pretty convincing case for how it all fit together.

    Does it strike you as something of a failure that even after the show has aired, it takes someone from the production co. to explain what happened?

    Someone upthread suggested that looking for explanations misses the point. I don't think so. It depends on the genre. I certainly don't mind dealing with metaphor or whathaveyou, but if I'm watching Hercule Poirot I expect to find out whodunit. Lost set up a situation that invited an over-arching explanation for all the weird goings-on, but the payoff was non-existant.

    Glee returns this Friday

    Why is their glee club called Nude Erections?

    Lost

    Glad I mostly gave up after s2. The finale explained nothing.

  • Radiation: Lost on Internet Island,

    So, now we know what happened, any thoughts? On Lost, that is.

    We know what happened?

    Another cool thing about the internet: I'll think to myself, I think I'll play myself a Fred Wesley record, and bang, it's on. I consider that a tangible improvement in my standard of living.

    I don't want to "be in touch with people constantly". That's the whole point. :)

    Umm, isn't that kind what PAS is all about too?

    Okay, I really mean I don't want people to be constantly in touch with me! :)

    Is it the internet that has enabled you not to have cell phones, but still be in touch with people constantly?

    I don't want to "be in touch with people constantly". That's the whole point. :)

    Went looking for a pay phone recently, and there weren't any.

    The really annoying thing is that you now have to look up the address of unfamiliar shops before you leave the house.
