I need a Tivo

Well I guess first I need telstraclear to hurry up with their digital cable.
But then I need some kinda PVR, so I dont keep missing the adult swim
cartoons on cartoon network. Tonigh its Space Ghost coast to coast, then
Aqua teen hunger force, followed by Sealab 2021 and finally the Brak show.
Four insane and yet funny cartoons in a row.

Trogdor!!!!

So I forgot to write about this, so I’ll write it up now. While we were in
Dunedin for Laurel’s interview at the School of Medicine we went shopping
and stopped to eat at the foodcall in the mall there.
I spotted a guy wearing a Trogdor tshirt, so I
told Laurel I’d give her $5 if she went over and yelled “Trogdooooooooor” at
him. So Laurel took it up a level and went over and sang a big chunk of the
song. The guy took it pretty well, his girlfriend was a bit embarassed, but
what can you expect if you go out with someone wearing a trogdor tshirt.

What are TelstraClear playing at this time?

Ok paradise.net.nz used to be a fantastic ISP. Then telstraclear bought it,
and its steadily sucked more, almost monthly. The latest piece of madness is
their transparent proxy is stopping me from accessing a bunch of websites.
Most annoyingly lists.sourceforge.net is one of those. Its a ‘known fault’
which just means that it’ll get fixed only when enough people complain.
I really resent the degradation of the service, since ive had my cablemodem
account in this house, they have depeered from all the peering exchanges,
implemented (badly) transparent proxying and had intermittent connectivity
outages. But I still pay exactly the same every month .. for what is now a
vastly inferior product. Dickheads!

Arsehat of the year

Goes to the wussy piece of shit who tortured and ended up killing a golden
retriever. And then went on to do the same to cats .. and who knows how many
other animals before that. What a hard man, torturing tame pets. Its for
people like that, that kneecapping was invented.
And as for the dumb policeman who ranked burglaries of a higher importance.
Do you really want someone who does this sort of thing wandering around? Its
just a matter of time till he graduates to humans.

The Green Room

So we went to see some stand up comedy last night, upstairs at Kitty
O’Sheas. On the whole it was really good, lots of funny moments. But the
first woman was pretty excruciatingly bad .. strange choice of subject
matter, and didnt really pull it off at all. Nevermind, congrats to her for
having the guts to give it a crack anyway.
