  1. Ha! That's wonderful, Chyna.

    As someone who always sneak into the men's bathroom when the line at the women's bathroom is too long, I find it very hard to understand why people are so up in arms about a person using the bathroom they prefer.

    Not a Prince fan, but still sad. He was one of a kind.

  2. we went with the method that you used for getting Daniel to sleep through the night

    Wait a minute. Daniel? Alf has a name? We didn't know about this did we?

     

    Happy birthday to the F-let! Two teenage boys. Must be fun [/sarcasm].

     

    Best of luck with the caretaker, Endeavour.

     

    Thinking of you, KPC. Check in when you feel like it.

  3. I hope the cat's owner was appreciative of all your efforts on behalf of the kitty.

    She was, but I found out that there are a lot of lawsuits filed by owners against people who rescue their pets. Unbelievable.

     

    I hope you find the right match soon, Endeavour.

     

    You'll do fine, cko. Don't worry ;-)

  4. don't be a doofus

    That could be applied more broadly.

     

    That was really brave of you, Erratic. I hope you find a place that's good for you, professionally and personally.

     

    I'm sorry you're having a tough time, KPC. Vibes for you.

     

    I saved a kitty yesterday. Yay me! I found him dragging his back legs by the side of the road. So I went home to grab a beach towel, went back to pick him up and took him to a vet, who took some x-rays and gave him a pain killer and antibiotics. Then I knocked on a few doors near the place where he was hit and found the owner. I hope he recovers soon, nothing was broken.

  5. And SilverFox and I hated the were monster episode.

    Out of all the 6 episodes, it was the only one that felt like a gift for the fans, with all the callbacks to previous episodes. I like that everything was turned upside down: it was the monster that had turned human, while the actual "monster" was just a regular guy. The peeping Tom was spying on the guy instead of the woman. The commentary on the human condition through the eyes of the Lizard Man was also brilliant in his bleakness.

     

    Go Ennio!

  6. Post back when you've seen the last one, trudi.

    Here I am. I'm not sure what I witnessed there. It was so spectacularly bad. Basically 40 minutes of blah blah blah. The last two episodes felt like a backdoor pilot for a spinoff starring the new agents, like Erratic said. But the writing was so atrocious, I don't know who'd watch it.

    I gotta say, on the whole this mini series was more disappointing than satisfying. One decent episode out of 6 didn't make it worth it.

     

    I hope things take a turn for the better, harvester. As for The X-Files, I'd check out episode 3 (Mulder and Scully meet the were monster) and wouldn't bother with the rest.

  7. I haven't seen the last episode yet. I was not expecting much from this "revival" going in. It was nice to see Mulder and Scully together again, see them grown up in a way, but when you only have 6 episodes, it would have made more sense to have one ongoing stoyline instead of a two part opener so heavy on the mithology and then 3 standalone episodes.

    The only episode that I can say I liked was the Darren Morgan one, about the lizard turned human. The first two were too expositiony (to use a Buffysm) and the other 2 standalones kinda sucked.

  8. cko, I love your 60 for 60 campaign. I wish you the best in this new chapter of yours.

     

    I'll echo the "Aw!" at your husband, buffyjunkie.

     

    I hope the caregiver works out for you Endeavour.

     

    My weekend was spent looking up forniture for my new place. The institution where I work has a bunch of apartments it rents to employers for a below market price, and I got a pretty good one.

     

    Why did no one told me about Agent Carter? It's made of awesome. I flove the actress.

  9. I'm not involved in the story, Boliver, nor is anyone I know. However, feel free to be sorry for humanity in general, because if in 2016 we still get these kinds of rulings we have a loooooooong way to go.

    Can the women sue him in civil court?

    They did go to court. That's where the sentence came from.

    The boss is not even close to being the worst person in the story. I mean, he's an asshole alright, but the group of judges who ruled in his favour? They are so much worse. It's not like they didn't believe the women, as it's often the case. They believed them completely. They just think it's ok.

  10. Let me tell you a heartwarming story. Once upon a time two women reported their boss for sexual harrassment. They accused him of inapproriate behaviour, which included grabbing their ass on a regular basis.

    He was just absolved because the judges qualified him as "immature" (he's 65). Moreover, he was just "goofing around" and didn't get any actual sexual pleasure from his acts. Apparently all that matters is what the man gets from his actions. How those actions make the women feel is completely irrelevant. Only the man's feelings count. Were they disgusted? Revolted? Uncomfortable? Embarassed? Who cares.

    The end.
