I have not watched Life-- it is not available on itunes, but I might be able to locate it-- good idea!

I think I might have watched everything there is to watch on PBS as well. I realized the other night that I was watching a special on the Holocaust for the second or third time! I also hate the taped concerts, particularly that crazy bushy haired conductor that was ALL OVER PBS this Christmas, along with those Celtic Women.

I need a new TV show badly.

Flight of the Conchords! Though I don't know if it's downloadable and it's only 13 episodes (or thereabouts). It is netflixable, I believe.

I guess it's a good thing I never bring any personal items to decorate my cube.

If you want, I could send you a care package of cube decor that would almost certainly keep strangers from sitting at your desk. How do you feel about taxidermy and/or specimens in sealed jars of formaldehyde?

I realize that PBS as antidote to "there's nothing on" is my particular solution.

Discovery Channel does that for me, with PBS running a close second.

How do you feel about taxidermy and/or specimens in sealed jars of formaldehyde?

Especially if the animals have giant tumors or other deformities....

I second the Flight of the Conchords!

Yay! I've now got a partial snow day. I'm still not impressed with the volume of snow we've gotten, which is fine by me, but I'll still take the early dismissal any way I can get it.

Also, Sophia, did you see The Riches or Mad Men?

And how do boys watch tv with "technical skill?"

Oh, you see, boys then take apart the tv to see if there's really little people inside, acting out BSG. And then they learn how to build televisions.

Girls watch teevee and then go online to squee about hotties, presumably using websites either designed by boys who did it with perl or html, or by girls who design them using frontpage.

Or, you know, girls go online and

• learn how to write better by interacting with a community of supportive, intelligent, talented writers
• learn how to think critically by watching other people exercise their spicy brains
• form communities of like-minded, cool, funny people
• write fanfic and post it to archives that run on software designed by, hosted by, maintained by, and paid for by women.
