Tell me about it, EPS. I was fucking PISSED - not only is there no more, but Joss Whedon didn't even get to finish the series. We truly do live in a sad, sick and sorry world.

I hated Simon at first, taking him for a sappy little dandy (nearly pissed myself when Mal referred to him as Lord Fauntleroy), but he gets some quality sarcasm going on as the show progresses. And Mal is just plain fine.

Ben..

That story right there is why I left H-town years ago. Fuck that shithole.

I was born and raised there, and spent the first 26 years of my life dodging bullets in that cesspool. I have a million stories just like the one you just related. After awhile it just wasn't worth it for me. Sadly, my dad had to move back to H-town last week to look after the family business, which has been mismanaged in the last year. I hate that he is back there again. I still have lots of family there, but I still try and avoid it like the Black Plague..

I'm sorry you and your family have to deal with that kind of shit. Sadly, I know the drill all too fucking well.

Meh.

Wise Child.. Do you know why Firefly was canceled by Sci-Fi? I have been wondering why this happened to ANOTHER one of Joss's series. Angel got canceled suddendly the same fucking way. Argh. Really irritating. I throroughly enjoy his work and think he is totally underated.

Oh and the chic that plays the 'Companion' is flargin' HAWT!!

[Wise Child]

Apparently it was cancelled 'cause the channel put it on once a week at like two in the morning, so obviously the ratings were pretty bad. *sob* Fuckin' idiots...

I took this with my cellphone cam 10 minutes ago.



E_P_S - Yes, not even my first time since moving here 5 years ago. Plus one car break-in, an apartment burglary and other near misses. For a guy who grew up in Wisconsin, it's all unnerving.

Since I'm just a guy who heard 4 shots and didn't see anything (of significance), I've been told I can go. And the girls are very bored and "reeeeeaaaally" want to go shopping, so I guess we're headed off. That is, if we can get the car out around all the cop cars. Sheesh!

Well, I certainly am not objective..

But I say get out while you can..

I had EVERY apartment/house I lived in but TWO, broken into while I lived there.

I had FOUR cars stolen.

I was robbed at gun point once.

I was chased at high speeds by psycho fuckheads on THREE separate occasions down the freeway.

I was shot AT twice. Once while hanging out with friends, once while chasing hookers off of the property of our family business on South Main.

My dad had his Pawn Shop on Antoine robbbed at Gun Point TWICE. (Which is why he sold it.)

Not to mention the shit I saw when I went on ride-alongs with Paramedic friends.

*shudder*

The list goes on and on and on.

It wasn't as bad during the Seventies, but over the years it just got worse and worse. You can't have THAT many people in a metropolitan area that size, and expect to maintain any sense of tranquility. Plus the traffic in and of itself is enough to make anyone homicidal.

I say relocate if possible. Austin is still nice, and the only place left in Texas I still enjoy visiting. The Hill Country is beautiful. It is a bit spendier in Austin, but it's much smaller and the police have a much tighter chokehold on the crime there. Altogether it is a much more mellow environment. Austin is also where my Hellspawn was born, so it will always have a special place in my heart..

Just be careful okay? And give moving some serious thought..

This is for me and Xnguela: apparently Detroit isn't like Wisconsin.

I thought that was funny. It's from the movie "the Man".

Eugene Levy is making all of us wonderous Wisconsin dwellers look like idiots. Funny.

It's not just him: think Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley and That 70's Show. As a chld of Wisconsin I learned a long time ago that our state's only friends in Hollywood were the Zucker brothers.

There is that bright Donna Moss character on 'West Wing,' but even in that case they write her a bit too naive...

[Ben Lahnger]

Hey Xng, I'm a cheesehead too. Whatcha gonna do about that? Huh? Huh?

Rugby is my bag. Baseball - Red Sox, Football - Cleveland Browns, Rugby - New Zealand and Scotland and South Africa. But I am going for the Steelers.

I'm sitting here relaxing in a hotel room, and my husband is sitting at the edge of the bed watching James Bond.
I'm doing my best to get over a cold, and drowing myself in Airborne. (I'll be incredibly happy when I'm able to breathe out of both nostrils again.)
It feels nice to be able to sit down and relax for awhile and not have to worry about anything - except for this damn cold!
Other than that, things have been going exceptionally well.

WHOA!!


About an hour ago, I just experienced my first Earthquake..

Holy Enemas Batman!!

That has got to be the STRANGEST thing I have ever felt..

EEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

Are you all alright?

[Empty_Purple_Stars]

Yeah, we're cool.. It was just a very strange experience for a Southern Girl. We were finishing dinner when the floor and the entire two story house started to shake.

My son was upstairs at the time, and it kinda freaked him out.

It was just such an odd sensation.

Manimal got all excited..

It was all over in a matter of seconds, and preliminary reports say it was a small quake, measured at a magnitude of 3.0.

I have been through Tornados and Hurricanes aplenty, but that was my first Quake.

A very odd experience indeed.

*pours drinks*

Curious, a question for anyone south of the equator, or has been south of the equator.

Does water spill counter clock-wise down the drain?

[cannibalnuns]

I know it goes down the drain.

Snterea, you are not alone. I know the feeling!

The trick is to convince yourself that you are not an idiot magnet ... NO!

You are just a kind, compasionate soul who gives these poor fools comraderie where they might not otherwise find it.

Just keep telling yourself that.

I know that I'm a gen X-er... and I'm not supposed to say this...

But...

Honestly...

I think Andy Dick sucks ass.

I'm led to understand flaws in the sink, drain, toilet bowl or whatever guide the water clockwise or anti-clockwise.

I heart Abilene. I love that town for some reason. I think it's the food.

Houston sucks, I agree, but like you E_P_S, I was born and raised there. I moved here, to South Dakota, with my mom when I was a junior in high school. H-town will always have a special place in my heart.

By the way, Houston has more obese people than any other city in the world.

On a related topic, I vow to never go to Wal-Mart after 7 am or before midnight again! Talk about fat fucking people. Jesus. They block all the aisles, their cart are over-flowing with junk food and god damn are they slow.

I went there because my friend told me they have a good selection of organic foods (which they do) and ended-up getting fucking super pissed-off at these fat fucking retards. Fuck!

I am better now that I have espresso and a great salad.

Good food=Good life.
