There are certain British comedies every geek knows and loves, particularly Monty Python, Black Adder, and Red Dwarf. There are also others I've seen and enjoyed that are popular in the mainstream, particularly the original British version of The Office. But there's one in particular that ran for a time on the Comedy Channel (not that I get the Comedy Channel) that seems much more...

Hey darlin', just thought I'd let you know that I replied to your comment over on my news post.
Just in case folks hadn't noticed from my suddenly posting a bunch on the boards and in my groups: I'm back from Thanksgiving vacation. Was back yesterday, actually, but didn't feel like journalling. So yeah.
Nothing particularly astonishing or exciting happened.Since none of you are familiar with my family, there's not much point telling stories. I will say, though, that my younger cousin Trevor is...

wow sound like you had fun.Yep Cousin sgrow up so fast.It makes me feel old.
Been quiet lately because nothing especially significant in my life has been going on. I've just been doing the usual mix of school, work, movies, video games, gaming with friends, reading books and comics, and so on. I keep hoping I'm right about the connection I think I'm making with a girl at work, but of course I'm far too shy to actually ask her...

Hmm sounds like fun.
All sorts of games coming out lately, but what have I been doing? (Well, okay, playing them quite a bit, but also...)
Revisiting my favorite series of gamebooks, Lone Wolf. If you don't remember gamebooks from the days of yore...they're like the once-popular Choose Your Own Adventure series, except they fancied things up with some minor, usually RPG-like, game elements. In the case of Lone...

Well, also keep in mind that I'm still a youngun. Has D&D really changed all that much in the last 5-7 years?
The thing that really sucks right now is that I just can't afford to devote a whole day to a trip to the cities, let alone all of the other expenses that would come from such a trip. I've heard of the Theatre of the Jeune Lune - I can't remember if something I wanted to see was performing there at one point, or what, but I do know of it. *sigh*

I'm up way too late, and I need to go to bed, so I'll add more stuff tomorrow if I still feel like it. But I just noticed one of my Netflix member reviews (one of my very few Netflix member reviews) got voted helpful by two thousand and two people. Two thousand and two. *boggles*
My next best? 30. After that? 9. So where...

Wow it must have been a good review then.
As the elections approach, especially given some of the discussions going on on the boards, I'm starting to research my candidates. I think I'm pretty happy with Mike Hatch for governor and Betty McCollum as my US congresswoman. Not as sure about Amy Klobuchar, for US Senate (she supports the Mexico fence), but she'll have to do. And I'm good with my current Minnesota state...

Sound like you have good choices in Minnesota. I just wish we some good one here in Illinois.I just hope our 3rd party for govenor Rich Whitney can pull it out somehow. I He would be alot better the 2 main people running. Espically our current gov. who one of his main contributers has been indicted. But has completly dissapeared from the face of the earth.

NO worries. I know I'll lose my scholarship, but it was 2000/yr, which I can easily save up (along with the rest of my tuition) during one semester of working.
What was your major?
What was your major?
Well, my parents are back in the US (actually, have been for a bit now). This doesn't mean I'm living with them again, however. I think my mother would have liked to end up back here in the Twin Cities, but jobs for a GS12 in the Corps of Engineers are pretty scarce around here. What she was eventually provided with is a job down...

Hey, how are you? Long time no speak. 
There are a lot of nice things about living where I do. I'm in a very central location, right on a major bus line, so I can get most places within a single transfer and it's not *too* long to get many useful places. It's a very pretty neighborhood, and while the street the bus runs down is crazy busy, none of our neighborhood streets...

I hear you. Cooking is intimidating. We don't have a microwave and I don't know whether we're getting one . . . so I've turned to the toaster oven. It's small, and manageable.
Thanks so much for your comment on my journal. That's very reassuring to hear--it really is, and I appreciate it.
So what's your major busline? Mine's the 4. I love it, so hard.

Time for some new Gamefly games. Bought Everblue 2 off eBay, so I sent that back on Saturday. Conker my friend and I just finished earlier tonight, so that goes in the mailbox also. Next up, hopefully: FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus, and Rule of Rose. Both have received indifferent reviews but have been labelled as games to play, essentially, for the story and visuals. Sounds...

I really hate it when games put you through several probable-death sequences all in a row without any kind of save or checkpoint or anything in between. It puts me in a situation where I have to perform perfectly all the way through or risk getting stymied back at one of the earlier sequences that I had already beaten at least once. A good example...

And not learning that day would likely be okay with me too, if it didn't mean that I'd end up having 800 pages to read the last three weeks before the final because we didn't stay on track with the progression of reading assignments.

School is outstandingly frustertating today.
How are you?

Yes that is quite frusterating in games. Espically when I have to go to work. EverBlue2 seems interesting.
