Decade isn't over for another year.

The 00s are almost over, but the decade ends when it’s ‘11.
Indeed.
Not to nitpick but a decade is any collection of ten consecutive years.
Firefly: Serenity (the pilot, not the movie)
halphillips:
Sold.
Seeing the phrase “written and directed by Joss Whedon” on a show I hadn’t already watched a thousand times gave me the biggest boner I’ve had in forever (or in the three months since the Dollhouse season 2 premiere [but mostly forever]).
I knew this was a sci-fi show with the feel of a western, but for some reason, I didn’t expect the westernness to be so overt, with horses...

If you thought the 3rd Spider-Man was bad (it was), just wait for the fourth.

What is going on in this SATC2 trailer? They go on a trip … I guess?
Before you watch, guess what song they use in the trailer. Yep, you got it right.
I’m pretty sure this is just a remake of The Jewel of the Nile.
Or Ishtar.
(Can we still use Ishtar as a punchline?)
WatchAlf X-mas Special.
Hulu actually has a nifty collection of Chrismas episodes inclusing Party of Five, New Radio and (somewhat weirdly) Studio 60 of the Sunset Strip.
chelc:
My aunt wants Myst, (the computer game) for christmas, but since it’s not 1995, what’s something LIKE that. For a PC, and there is mystery, but you don’t shoot people/aliens.
also, how do you make things questions on tumblr?
Tere are a lot of games out there, mostly for download. BigFishGames has tons. Sadly most don’t have the attention to detail and production value...

SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI DISASTER
lookmom:
I screwed something up and it tastes nasty. We tried to salvage with butter and brown sugar (duh), didn’t work.
Now we are frying them. Just to see.
Gnocchi are a bitch. I have tried on numerous occassions and they always come out as spongy balls of startch.
Buffy 6.19: Seeing Red
buffywatch:
Conversation while I was trying to change DVDs right after this episode ended.
Nic: “You know, Buffy is died so many times, you stop worrying. And Tara was just in the credits—”
Me: (turns to look at her, trying to keep back the tears and just get the next episode loaded as quickly as possible)
Nic: “What? No. No! Wha…”
Buffy 6.18: Entropy
buffywatch:
Viewing Companion finally drew attention to the fact that the real Big Bad in Season Six is “Life.” It was like when an English teacher tells you about some subtext in a Victorian novel. It doesn’t spoil anything but you feel like you cheated in getting an insight you had missed earlier.
……
I looked at Viewing Companion and said that it felt like the first time when...
Buffy 6.16: Hells Bells
buffywatch:
Viewing Companion got all “hey - there’s a wedding episode coming up” and I got all “hey - spoiler! I didn’t know they definitely got married” and then he got all “oops, sorry I ruined it” but really he was all lying.
Heartbreaking. I feel like we got some of the best and most tear-worthy parts of the wedding in all of Anya’s speeches. Her vows were wonderful but it was her...
Angel 3.22: Tomorrow
buffywatch:
Also - gosh Groo is sweet. I know he was built to be one-notey and the actor was … interesting looking … but I think with more time he probably had Anya potential.
God I never thought of that. I think I just had a general dislike of Groo (or at least bored by him), but you’re prbably right.
WatchAgain, there is no rational reason for my excitement for all things Tron.
A Humbling Evening
sherrypop:
My team, The Strangers performed at Under St. Marks tonight with Population Larry and Thank You, Robot. We barely warmed up, and basically just went out there and had a lot of fun.
Okay. Here comes the humbling part. A bunch of folks that I like and respect so much were there. And after the show, every single one of them came up and told me they enjoyed our set. These are people who...
ENDLESS LIBRARY (C.A.Scott background pt 1)
[Note: This is background and (short version of) the history of a character I played in a roleplaying game. Yes, he is a version of myself, a version of me if I lived in a different world and branches off from me in the fall of ‘92. He was to play a big part in a game I started last year. I am posting all this stuff (1) to purge my brain of some of the creative junk that has collected...
“You fool. You do not do such things to children. A child is like a poison...”

Potential uses for Google Goggles
(Google Goggles allows you to take a picture of something and search for that. Say, taking a picture of Big Ben and using that image to search.)
- You blackout and find yourself in a strange land and don’t speak the language.
- Is this snake that just bit me poisonous?

Buffy 6.5: Life Serial

Viewing Companion:
1) She was so bore at one point, she started to pick lint off herself.
2) Right after complaining about pop culture shows that reference other pop culture, she laughed (perhaps inspite of herself) at the dead parrot reference.
