I should be grading papers or cleaning off my desk but instead I am stalling and reading Hatrack.

Mandy, I was thinking of the same thing. Obviously not the same cause in my father's case, I still haven't been able to get anyone to tell me how his developed. The point I was attempting to make was that they got so bad that he was on disability from the pain and bleeding, and I don't want to see you suffering a similar fate.

I went to three different shops today until I managed to get my hands on a copy of Mario Kart DS. Then the online didn't work! Stupid wireless router...

I used to be addicted to McVitie's digestives, but the addiction went away eventually after my regular access to them was curtailed.

I thought I was secure in my sexuality until I saw Brokeback Mountain.
Now I know that I am as straight as straight gets. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being perfectly straight and 10 being perfectly gay (and 5 being bi), I'm 0.

I'm with you, aiua. I also don't do conversions well in my head. (Like dealing with time changes. Two hours ahead, or behind?)

I still stumble around with my multiplication table.
But wait! You see, my brother introduced me to Mr. Calculator when I was in 3rd grade, the time of learning multiplication. Let's just say that I finished my math homework quickly.

That's what I like about my digital watch, Beverly; it's got the three time zones that I need. All I need to remember is the obscenely long combination of buttons to get there!

I like that my new camcorder adjusts for timezones. Not that it is all that useful, but I like it nonetheless.

Thanks to a fellow Hatracker, I've been brought into the "addicted to Battlestar Galactica" fold.

But thanks to the accursed, may their toes always be smelly, Comcast Cable, we don't get the Sci-fi channel. I am waiting (rather impatiently) for us to be able to download the newest episodes. So far, no luck.

bev, that's sad. Our Comcast gets Sci-fi Channel. In fact, I tape Battlestar Galactica for this fellow Hatracker (or at least started taping it this past week). Now I'm addicted as well. *shrugs* That's the world we live in.

I know what you mean, Kitsune; I'll always and forever be going "Every good boy does fine" under my breath.

I think it may be a quirky thing about the city we are in. When we lived in the town just a couple miles over, the Sci-fi channel came standard. For some reason, here it doesn't.

I am watching Star Trek: TNG at a ridiculously rapid pace. I am beginning to think in Data-like sentences and expect doors to slide open for me automatically.

Just checked our local Comcast line-up again. It lists the Sci-fi channel as being channel 160. You have to have a "special" cable package to get that.

DS9 is more of a feel good show. Lots of comedy (Quark and Garak) and lots of cool fight scenes in the later seasons.

I have seen most of TNG and good amount of DS9 and they are good But at the moment I am going through Angel at a ridiculously rapid pace, or at least if I would if mt friend would give my more then one season at a time Don't ask, why.

I bought Luigi's Mansion and beat it in one sitting. I know it's a short game, but that's still kind of bad. At least I got my homework done though.

There are some favorite VOY episodes. I like Year of Hell, Message in a Bottle, Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy, Endgame.
I can't remember what it's called, but I love the episode where that planet thinks the doctor is a musical sensation and he sings a bunch of concert. That's one of my favorite episodes.

I went to band camp for all four years in high school, and then I staffed it after I graduated. Now I'm in my university's pep band because I missed snare drumming so much.

Voy and DS9 were the best ST in my opinion...
I use to be able to do calculas and now I can't even do simple 8th grade algebra.
In 10th grade once in AP Chemistry lab I grabbed a bunch of beakers of "stuff" and started mixing them randomly... It steamed a bit.
I check out technical books from the library (or lately I buy them) but never read them (looking at piles of books I've not read...). Some of the books are still in the shipping cardboard...
I got a bachelors degree in music but don't do anything musical except at church, which I don't think really counts.
