'Just Rewards (2)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm ok with a few bunches of screaming adults. Now, at kids? Or bratty kids? Might turn me off.
Wanna bet this is going to be more The Great American Roadtrip than Round the World edition?
Also, it helps that I watch TAR thusly: get up. get a drink. scoop catboxes. pee. wash dishes watching reflection in glass doors. sort through read and unread Monitors. catch up here. post here. read lj. pay electric and gas bill.
etc.
Live giant squid photographed for the first time: [link]
I had fresh regular squid caught for me in Mozambique. I don't like squid. Even in garlic and butter over a campfire. And squid guts 5 hours later? Stink. Also, I finally learned where cuttlebone came from. I could do without.
HOWEVER. Gianty squid PICTURES? Cool.
Huh. People have been trying to photograph a giant squid in its natural environment for many years.
I saw a program on TV about Humboldt Squid the other night. They are nasty critters, with teeth on their suckers, and a habit of leaping out at anything that moves, especially divers. (They are probably 3 feet long, not 25.)
The dude diving for them, with a big camera, was wearing body armor.

All I can say is, "IT'S ABOUT FREAKIN' TIME!!!" Do they know how many National Geographic specials I sat through waiting to see them live, only to be left disappointed?
It looks to me like [TAR] the families who most annoy aren't likely to hold up terribly long. But I've been burned before. Also, I'm watching behind, so I could already be wrong.
Do they know how many National Geographic specials I sat through waiting to see them live, only to be left disappointed?
Yeah, I hate those sciency specials where they try to find something and/or photograph it, and they fail at the end.
That should be a new reality show: Hey science boy - you don't get paid until you come back with giant squid pictures. And you gotta live with these other scientists in this sealab. You have your choice of rooming with the gay scientist or the redneck.
I need to add another activity to watching TAR: keeping the 17 lb cat from trying to jump on my lap while I sit on a balance ball. Currently have him pinned sitting like a person at the computer, purring and headbutting me.
Mind you, he popped the last balance ball. While I was sitting on it.
And now he kicked back so hard against the table unexpectedly, I rolled back and conked my head on the wall.
Dude, I have one cat who draws blood. Apparently, I have a concussive one as well. I'm DOOOOOOOOOMED.
