((snerk)) That's hilarious, flattering, and very disturbing all at the same time. XD

Now... if I could just find (and keep) my own Eliot.... XD

No Sister at D*C? =(
((misses Sister))

My head hurts, my eyes are tired, and I am completely bereft of even an iota of motivation. How's everyone else doing today?

PhoenixRose, I sent you a PM, but I'm not sure if you got it...?

Heh. My train of thought just turned into a pogo-stick of thought. ((wanders))

why does it *never* include the end parentheses in a url?

*gets HK some ibuprofen* I hear you on the lack of motivation thing :P

sort of unrelated question: why is it that some shows air half a season, then take a hiatus before they air the second half? Other than "keeping people hooked"

I've come to the conclusion that it does that just out of spite. XD

ZOMGYouAreAnAngel.
I have a bottle of the 200mg stuff on my desk here at work. I meter it out to all my co-workers. XD I usually have to take 3-4 tablets for it to kick in... and that reminds me... gotta get some more! Mmmmm...

OH. HEY. The company used to have Ibuprofen in the little medical cases we have hanging around. Those particular pills were white, the size of an M&M, and ever so slightly coated with an ever so slightly sweet coating. So I thought they were chewable.

O.O

That wasn't a good idea. XD

I've often wondered that myself. I've been trying to read up on it, but it's still a little hazy.

From what I gather, it has something to do with risk / benefit analyses that the networks do. If the ratings suck, they only have to waste a partial season and don't have to commit to wasting advertising money (both their own and the companies that buy the ad time) on the rest of the season. They've spent mucho dinero on the first part of the season, and a smaller amount on shooting a couple episodes of the second part, but aren't committed to spending the rest. On top of that, they can cram in more standard shows and more new shows, thereby getting more bang for the buck, so to speak; they'll have a large number of potential successes and they'll have risked a smaller amount of cash due to half seasons, and the ratings will help dictate which ones they cut loose and which ones they keep. Also... if a show tanks and they've already committed to a full season, they would have had to yank it and scramble to find a replacement after spending all that money. This way, they'll still yank it but they won't have to scramble with all the other half season shows they have in the queue... both another time and cost savings overall.

I could probably explain it better than that, but my brain is skipping tracks at the mo'.

lol same here unfortunately ><;;

huh. guess that could make sense, but what I don't get is why they do it with shows that are doing VERY well in the ratings (like Burn Notice, which seems to be very popular, just went on hiatus again and I almost threw something through the TV at the finale). :\ mystery. have to ask an exec someday XD

My motivation is decreasing rapidly.. I want to help the kids, but I am so sick of all the adult roadblocks..
Plus pregnancy is sapping my will...

Ahhrrr!

Just practising for international talk like a pirate day, which won't be as much fun as usual because it's on Saturday and I thoroughly enjoy answering the work phone as a pirate but it does mean my 30th falls on Weekend and it looks like I get to head over to Brum to see my sis and go clubbing, something I'm not particularly into but one of my best friends in the world has a regular slot play indie/dance stuff so should be fun.

Anyway, lots of work, manic week, not going to DC but not a surprise, as ever, we shall have to run a those left behind thread or something.

I haven't been able to take Ibuprofen cause of the side effects for a while, which given the ache in my back is a real pain. Gonna whinge and see if I can get a decent chair at work but we'll see how that goes down! What I need is a decent massage or accupuncture but that costs cashy money, either that or a job that doesn't weld me to my desk for two days straight, mind you, a job that doesn't follow me constantly, had three support calls this evening alone and have had interruptions during both workouts so far this week!

How we all doing, anything I can do to amuse you HK, I'd write a song but can't sing and between vocalist so unless you're into progressive metal instrumental tracks... well you see why it's a bad idea lol!

Anyway, I really ought to get on, free drinks for everyone; football is coming soon 'Who Dey?';discovered two new to me awesome music artists in Jeffrey Lewis and Florence + The Machine (man I love spotify), LIFE IS GOOD PEOPLE!

AhhhhhRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

*magics up drinks for all*

Who Dey?
Who Dey?
Who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals?
