14:19 I had all sorts of plans for today. But 40s & rain sucked the ambition right out of me. Quick trip to the cleaners and I'm done!
15:45 Glenn Beck's paranoid about the right thing. Well, what do they say about a broken clock? http://gaw.kr/fSzROq
16:34 Now that the House has voted to defund public broadcasting, will NPR stop trying to be fair to Repugs & call them the shitheels they are?
17:05 @Molly23 Unfreakingbelievable! And I mean that in the best sense of the word. Or words. Whichever.
17:23 I first saw The Monitors in 1973 in the RIT dorms on a distant Canadian TV station. Much clearer on Netflix Instant. http://imdb.to/foYHZo
17:41 @devans00 It's an odd SF comedy based on a Keith Laumer novel. Lots of 60s celebrity cameos, including a favorite comedian of the era.
17:45 @devans00 I meant SF as in Science Fiction. Actually, it was filmed in Chicago.
20:30 First The Monitors, then Anastasia with Ingrid Bergman. Becoming addicted to Netflix Instant. I really don't need another addiction.

09:33 Dead TV saga is at an end. Old set gone, new set up and running. Two connections (one for power) and done; I'm liking this future.

18:49 Tonight's discovery: Dr. Horrible looks and sounds amazing on Blu-Ray. The 40" HD doesn't hurt either.
19:25 @cabri It's pretty cool. Still, I'd be right there with you if my old set hadn't given up the ghost.
21:51 Am I missing something, or does Netflix Streaming not have much I'd want to watch? Gone through hundreds of titles without much luck.
