Does anyone know if Dr. Horrible is available in any other form than the website that doesn't work or iTunes, which doesn't work on my computer?
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

It's especially annoying if the cars ahead of you are wasting space, preventing you from getting into the left turn lane until they pull forward....
As is often the case, Tommyrot is me. Except that sometimes on my commute it even affects right-turn lanes, but the point here is HATE HATE HATE.
Oh, and...HATE!
And so that I'm not hating on JZ, because that would be really crazy:
I was rear-ended because the people behind me were following way too close despite shitty driving conditions, and when we all had to slam on our brakes they had no stopping room at all).
But they were following too close when you were moving, yes? When you're pulling up to a stop, I have no problem at all with leaving some extra room in front. (A friend would have probably been smooshed by a semi if she hadn't done that, so I definitely do factor that in with highway traffic.) But when you are stopped at a red light that came a tenth of a mile after the last red light, and the cars behind you are all stopped, there is no reason to continue to maintain 20 feet between you and the car in front. Every day I see people who sit with 5 cars lined up behind them, and they still need to leave extra room in front for some freaky reason. Sometimes if they skooched forward a few feet, I (and several other people) could get into the turn lane and be on our way, and everyone behind us would be happier as well.
And it's not so much that it's slowing me down because, really, my commute is short so I shouldn't whine (oh, too late) but... the total obliviousness to the fact that, yes, you have mass, and are blocking traffic for no damn reason makes me nuts. Social contract, people!
Um. And that's my rant for the evening. You're welcome.
Next week I'll discuss merging! (Subtitled, "If letting one car in front of you will make you late to work, maybe you should just get up 2 minutes earlier.")

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
The website has been working fine for me. I've watched at least three times this evening. It will eventually be available on DVD and I hear it is available on sites that those with scurvy often frequent.
Patiently waiting Strega's commentary on merging.

"sites that those with scurvy often frequent."
Um, huh? (I've never downloaded a movie in my life, so know nothing about it-bay orrent-tay, etc.)
Oh, well, in other things to watch on the intertubes, there's a new cartoon of Simon's Cat, the cartoon cat that likes to annoy his owner (in previous cartoons, he woke up his owner with a baseball bat to the eye and demanded entry through a glass door) and then point to his mouth, demanding food. This one is soooo my cat, demanding attention while I'm trying to watch TV.

At the DH website, all I keep getting is "This video is not available at this site."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, my. I changed browsers and got through no problem. I guess something was being cached.
I'm in a whole lot of love right now.

Wait--is that where the Serenity premiere afterparty was held? It just seems right seeing NF and NPH there, and, well, it is the only place I've seen either of them in person.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Next week I'll discuss merging! (Subtitled, "If letting one car in front of you will make you late to work, maybe you should just get up 2 minutes earlier.")I wax rhapsodical about people in Portland knowing how to MERGE. It's not a difficult concept and makes traffic flow so much easier. People, we are not asking you to do math or actually care about people other than yourself, this makes *your* life better if you'd just do it.
To make up for this brilliance, no one here knows how to use a four way stop if someone is turning left.
The traffic gods give with one hand and annoy the hell out of me with the other.

Yes, ita. It was filmed on the Universal lot where the premiere afterparty was. I'm not sure how you recognized it though. I was at the party and I never put two and two together.

I remember walking around the Mall with meara & co (Vortex, were you there?) at night and they kept breaking into song. It was rather hilarious. Couldn't be stopped.
Hah! I do not remember this, but it definitely sounds like something I would do. Um, what songs were we singing? Was this during the F2F, or some other event?
