Is my news server missing a lot of posts, or is this NG getting awfully quiet of late? (I'm guessing that it's because many posters are in exams-- especially Alli. <g>)
Also, what's happened to Happydude? Has anyone seen him of late? Did Kazul get hungry and make a Happy Meal of him?
I'll be glad when we get new eps here-- I'm looking forward to some more traffic! (And maybe I'll get to use my OED some more. <g>)
It's either both your news server and mine, or the ng *is* getting quiet. :)
I had my French oral exam today. The teacher said "That was very good" but she's said that to everyone so far so it's bullshit. I know I did badly and I'm going to put the blame on my friend Scott, because I was round his house 'til 11:30, and I only went there to help him...*ahem*... drink all the alcohol he'd bought while his parents were away... <g>

Not to fear, I am alive, well, and undigested. I guess I'm just in a state of online hibernation until the new episodes start up again. Lately my time online has been limited to finding a new (and competent) ISP and shopping around for upgrades for my computer (it seems wrong to have Linux on the same drive with Microsoft "software." I guess I'll have to get a dedicated Linux drive<g>) My cable provider just started carrying the Sci-Fi channel so I've been watching MST3K (Which I haven't seen since it was on Comedy Central) and Dark Shadows (which I've never seen before but am now addicted.) I've also taken up a bit of gardening. It's kind of nice to create life that wont have you put in a nursing home when you go senile. I'm not growing anything illegal, Don Juan wont be teaching anything in my yard. Besides, I'm not sure what glitter-berries are or if they're legal or not.
I guess that's it... Oh, I also got the new Rentals album, I'm a bit disapointed by it, especially after all the gushing praise I gave to the first album on this newsgroup. So skip Seven More Seconds and get Return of the Rentals instead. I am also really pissed about NBC getting rid of Homicide and Newsradio.
My boyfriend keeps telling me to watch this, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. He was watching it last time I called him and I could hear it in the background going "Huge Angular Red Marshmallows!" or something... Bizarre. Will have to watch it. :)
Gardening never really appealed to me, I must say. I keep plants in my bedroom: cactuses (errm, should that be cacti or something?) and stuff that doesn't need watering very often, because I always forget, and I don't like killing stuff, or having to pay for replacement plants when the others are all dead.
It's a great show. From what you said the movie they were riffing must have been "Agent of H.A.R.M.", a truly terrible ripoff of James Bond. The reason why they were speculating about the meaning of the acronym is that the movie never actually tells you just *what* "H.A.R.M." stands for, and the bots were making suggestions.
Is this the online boyfriend you mentioned before?
It's two robots and a man, isn't it? And the guy used to live on Earth or something, and they make jokes about what a crap life he had there, or something.... OK, I think I'm using that phrase a little too often. Anyhow, I will have to watch this show. :)
Yes, somewhat unfortunately - ie, I'd rather he was an "IRL" boyfriend, only that's a bit difficult as he lives a bit far away and currently has no car. Hmph.
Indeed. :) Only problem there is that I wouldn't trust either of us to be able to negotiate the public transport system without getting lost and ending up in Edinburgh or somewhere <lol>.
