Snerk. One of the Aspen mayoral candidates had that with him at a recent debate. The NPR lady asked him about it, and he talked about the super-long speech at the end and the length of the book, and how it's about excellence, and I was sitting there thinking, "How can this guy not be aware of the cultural baggage that comes with that writer?"
Experimental TV: Network Drama
This thread is an experiment to discern the Buffistas' interests in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which our community will assess our future direction. Discuss network aired drama here. [NAFDA]
Wood Harris is awesome. Though my favorite dealer is still String. Am still blown away that he's UK-ian. Idris is even better at being US than Hugh Laurie(Who, his own angst aside, is pretty damn awesome at it.)
I just ordered The Outsiders on Netflix. I may not have big cable or TiVo, but I lurve me some Netflix!
I don't think I've ever read Ayn Rand so it went over my head.
Now you're just rubbing our faces in it. Some of us didn't really want to read Ayn Rand, y'know! It just sorta happened.
Right, so. Is Ayn pronounced 'Ann' or 'Ay-n'? Also, while I'm at it, was Fred on Angel played by Amy Ache-r (In My Back) or Amy (Ache In My B)Ack-er?
I'm pretty sure Amy's last name is pronounced ACK-er.
Thanks Cindy. That's a surname that's new to me. Well, five-years-old new-to-me. Er.
Ayn is Ay-n (Ein?) and she made it up.
I was hoping that The Outsider would be available on Netflix's Watch Now thing but it's not.
For those of you haven't tried Watch Now, if you have high speed internet it's great. So far I've watched a few things that I don't mind seeing on my computer (tv shows) and wasn't sure I wanted to waste my queue space on them. The picture quality is just like watching any file I already have.
You get the number of hours equal to how much you pay - so if you are paying $17.99 you get 18 hours.
GG: So at first I was not aware of anything wrong but then I was like, hey - she's graduating from Yale why is she at Chilton? And I realized it was a dream. (Watching the GG Marathon on Sunday is no doubt why it took me a moment to realize the weirdness.)
