Re: PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES

I thought both sides connected well with their people. Which was kind of a problem for me. Neither really seemed to try to convince the opposing voters to their side. I think you are falling into the Sober trap here, seeing what you want to see. Just like a Democrat, stealing someone else's speech....

Re: Heroes

Why didn't the mom suffocate too? If she create fire from her body, they're just going to say some bullshit like she's made of pure oxygen or something. She doesn't have to breathe because her bloodcells are hypersaturated with oxygen all the time or whatever. Secret bonus power: not having to brea...

Re: Heroes

Does anybody else think they're going to have Hiro and Daphne fall for each other? Hiro's going to fall for Daphne. Daphne's going to make a play for Ando, just to fuck with Hiro. Ando will get with Daphne, and Hiro will pretend that he's cool with it. Daphne will start feeding him a line of bullsh...

Re: Heroes

Parkman in Africa smells like they don't know what to do with his character. It also smells alot like "Hey, remember when we sent Hiro to Japan for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long." If Parkman doesn't leave Africa in the next episode, then they're totally just fucking around. They need to ...

Re: Goofy question

I just think that after a certain point it's up to a certain person to own up to the issue, resolve it and lick their embarrassed wounds and pay the money back by whatever means or at least say "you know when we meet I will get you nice and loaded". That would be the cool thing to do. It ...

Re: PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES

I'd rather have discussion of McCain NEVER LOOKING AT OBAMA. I think that people who only watch highlights will end up not getting how painful this was to watch. It was clear that neither one of them was really prepared for Lehrer's "I want you all to talk to EACH OTHER" style of debating...

Re: September 24, 2008

I can understand not wanting to namedrop an SF'er you don't like. I can't fault you for that. When I made of the question, my feeling was that bands are bands and if we can talk about mainstream bands in the way we did yesterday, why can't we talk about SF'ers that way.

Well, have you ever had a situation like Generic did, where there's a band that you've heard others rave about and have given them more than one try but find you don't like them? Not exactly.

Back whenever that one album came out, someone recommended the Shins to me. I hate the Shins with an intensity normally reserved for genocide and people who expect me to laugh at their puns.

But I think that everyone who likes Heroes likes it because of the promise of Season 1, and so whatever they showed last night was like a C-. It's like they took most every single character and change...

Re: PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES

My friend who lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment pays $615 per month, plus about $150 a month, give or take, on power and utilities. That's $765 a month just to keep a roof over her head and shower at the end of the day. Factor in groceries and gas (not to mention incidental expenses like groce...
