I bought Idiocracy. I'm surprised how many of my friends seem to see it as just a wacky comedy, and seem to miss the sociopolitical commentary in the premise. Then there's the ones who think it's a futurama knock-off, which to me is like saying Futurama is an Encino Man knock-off, but whatever.

True, but it depends on the mood I'm in.
I also like pretty much any cut by Henri Winterman's out of Holland.
They're significantly cheaper but are of high quality and very smooth.

Had to buy a new blade for my hockey stick today, the other one is cracking down the heel. >_< At least I replaced it while it can still be repaired, instead of waiting for it to grenade into a million pieces with a slapshot like I did with the last one.

IMO, Cuban cigars are only sought because they're illegal.

Zombiejesus - cheers for the tip. I'll keep my eyes open.Gopher - they're only illegal in the USA to my knowledge, due to hard feelings and such. Here in Australia (and everywhere else unless I'm mistaken) they're legit - for sale in any smoke shop. [This message has been edited by coldangel_1 (edited 11-08-2007).]

...Hooray!
I could only afford 2 seasons though..hopefully the 3rd will still be a good price next time, although I don't have time to watch them at the moment ayway. What a rip. You start working so you can buy things but there's no time to enjoy said things.

Aww. Do it! I want to get a kitten too...even though my cat is only about 4. Or 28 in cat years...but if I got another kitty they could be sisters!  I got new shoes today. But they blistered my toes. I only got them because they had a strap round the back so they couldn't fall off..but they pushed into my big toes and hurted me...yeah, they'll do that. Have to stuff newspaper in 'em or something. I hate clothes/accessory shopping.

It might be worth considering killing the boyfriend and housemate, or at least trying hypnosis on them, the kitten is awesome and deserves a home, people who don't like cats should pay the price! -------------------------------------------

It's not that they don't like cats, it's more that my housemate/landlord made the mistake of saying on the day we moved in "..and maybe we can get a kitten." That was a month ago and I haven't shut up about it since.

I need to re-code the pond management system to accommodate new hardware (arriving next week): the first iteration didn’t trap a failure mode that has only happened once, but can’t be allowed to occur again. After that I’ll be looking at a type of servo system with selectable preset output profiles.If you are genuinely interested in PICs, Maplin have a couple of programmers that only support a limited range of devices, but are more affordable than the PicStart. When I bought the PS I was using 0.6 pitch C-series devices at work, so I needed the extra capability. But for hobby use it’s overkill, and the bureaucratic software package is geared towards large projects and code libraries. USB has taken over in the consumer sector, largely due to plug-and-play. But RS232 is still viable in industry, where the extra features of USB are often unnecessary.

All four series' of A Bit Of Fry & Laurie on DVD. And will be no-doubt touting them around everyone who thinks that Hugh Laurie is (a) American, and (b) not utterly hilarious.Soupy twist!

The logic that you should use is that once you have a kitten, you'll shut the hell up about getting a kitten and also be too busy feeding it cleaning it and stopping it shredding your curtains to even think about getting a snake. Tell them that it's a cat or something poisonous. They'll agree to the cat.

Get the cat. They will love it. End of story.Anyway, despite the fact that I had to live out the rest of my week on my credit card (bless it's little plastic arms), I bought Blackadder 3 + 4 (to join number 2, which I have had for several years) for $14 each at the ABC shop. This is after talking about Hugh Laurie in that other thread. Peel made me to spend money. I also got $20 jeans at Cotton On as I refuse to buy designer ones with my current ass size.
