Do you like gladiator movies, Billy?

Doesn't matter--I assumed you slept in a dark room. The exposure to the bright white light all evening (before bed) supposedly keeps your body from realizing it's evening.

Wow, I have almost no use for newspapers. Though I did get a pre-paid mailer from WSJ I saved to send back a full page that says just FUCK RUPERT MURDOCK on it. Now that I think of it, I wouldn't mind flipping through an LA Weekly to see if there were any events/concerts I was interested in. Websites though, Gizmodo and lately Reddit. Occasionally Talking Points Memo, when I want to despair for the future of our country, which has a lot of newspaper links I suppose.

One other possibility are your computing habits, you probably derp around on the internet 'till late at night and when you can't sleep you get back on, I'm guessing? The light from the monitor and the color temperature of the light can supposedly throw off your cycles. This free software is supposed to help with that (and the eyestrain), I've tried it even though I don't have much of a problem. So maybe try that and dim your monitor. Also try exposing yourself to lots of bright light in the mornings.

Wow, somebody has already immortalized the top 4 Republican primary contenders!

I never want to say never, but my gut reaction is OH FUCK NO!!! First, Lucas has already gotten too much of money for this crap. Certainly the originals are better, but he's already fucked them up pretty bad and will probably alter them even more for this. Second, I hate post-processed 3D. The only 3D worth paying to see was shot that way, in my experience. Even then, it's usually:

I pretty much detest that kind of press coverage and believe anybody who would form an opinion without having sat through every minute of evidence the jury hears is generally a blowhard know-nothing ass hat (esp. in the picture above, she should be disbarred). This case sounds a lot more obvious than most, but on the other hand the time and coverage spent on Missing White Girl of the week could and should go to covering so many things critically important to our nation and planet. ESPECIALLY ON HEADLINE FUCKING NEWS!

My god, it's a human Ken doll!

That black bun is creepy looking. God, there's a whole generation (or more now) of people that think these prequels (esp. the first one!) don't suck!

It's the only way to go if you're even a little bit discrete IRL. Set a different desktop background so you can tell at a glance it's logged in. Consider having it be a non-administrative account if porn journeys often take you to sites infested with malware and the like. You can even monkey with file permissions for the user folder to make it even harder to get into, but even without that your history and cookies should be pretty safe from casual looking around. You may also consider enabling the guest account (with no password) so visitors are sandboxed away from everything. One other thing I loved on my last computer (sadly new one doesn't have it) was the fingerprint scanner. Not so much for security, but because I programmed different fingers for different accounts, and if I swiped one while the other was logged in it would 'fast user switch' to it. Usually a lot faster than typing passwords too (unless I just washed my hands and had no oil on my fingers). And I really liked the HD encryption features a built-in system gives you, in case TSA ever got a bit frisky with me... just some things to consider next time you're faced with a choice between a ~$1000 laptop and a $1500-$2000 business laptop. Fast user switch doesn't require the scanner, and it's cool (switch user in Win7), you can leave stuff open and everything, just don't be on a site that may play telling audio while you're away.

Speaking of NBCUniversal's desperation... "...In addition, Meyer unveiled the above new Universal logo that will make its debut in March, and thereafter remind viewers of the studio’s estimable legacy as a source for innovative filmmaking, right before they watch Battleship." http://www.avclub.com/articles/universal-to-celebrate-100th-anniversary-with-reis,67429/

The only way to get public office, it would seem, is to pander to the anti-intellectual wack-a-do's. The 99% needs to fucking VOTE.

Just finished watching the entire season. Damn that was good. Some great acting. Really well done too, though a part of me wishes it'd ended there another part can't wait for Season 2!

Bill In Exile's an even weirder mix than that. Fair amount of military stuff but most odd is the family stuff about his nephew and relatives, mixed in with the porn and the nightclub he's working on and politics and nostalgia... I don't quite understand how one mixes everything together like that, but then even though I live alone and nobody uses my computer I have a separate login I use whenever I look at porn or these kinds of sites, so maybe I'm just too repressed.

Semi-related... wish they were real.

;o)

There's a lot of stuff out right now I really want to see, though this certainly isn't one. But Tinker, Taylor..., Dragon Tatoo, Dangerous Method, hell I even still want to see Muppets and I heard that the latest from the tiny scientologist is surprisingly good too. So I spent today derping around on this site and watching downloaded TV instead... What've people seen they recommend?

Exactly! Or sometimes it feels like my reply to a thread pretty much closes it.

A couple have been mentioned, and I do visit After Elton and Towleroad occasionally. But the one I check every time I come online (in private mode), even though there's not always new stuff, is Bill in Exile. The name is from the past but the blogger is a fascinating ex-military guy that usually finds the best damn stuff. I also, I shyly say, usually scan the stuff Daddy finds. I don't care for a lot of the stuff that goes on around him but he aggregates some great stuff I am glad to have seen... when he's not on a vacation stretching to 3+ weeks now... What related site do you guys check religiously?

I agree, but I think he's too perfect to be a real man in the way this post is talking about... Now the guy on the right in that music video I posted...

I wish Rentboy would have one of those!

Expat, use the dropdown to select Downtown Abby then hit search. Also, sometimes it goes down or doesn't have something, Monova is my second choice. Avoid the bs "high speed" links though, you only want the torrents! Note, it's a good idea to have a updated virus scanner running (Microsoft Security Essentials is free and pretty damn good), but if you stick to TV and don't go clicking any executables you're generally safe, from the MPAA/RIAA as well...

;o) But I kinda like it. I'll be lucky to post enough for one entry in the time allotted; but it encourages me to post stuff I find interesting and comment on others. Yes, it's gimmicky but it's only for a couple months and will probably die down. And if it gets others to post stuff of interest in some volume instead of just the 'old hands' that's a good thing!

...is!

...it...
