Arguing Semantics

According to the advertisement the local supermarket had cantaloupes on sale, but I didn't see them anywhere.  So I asked a person working in the produce section where the cantaloupes would be.  He pointed to a large bin.  I went and looked, but the bin was empty.  I went back and said to him "there aren't any cantaloupes there!"  to which he responded, "Well, you asked where the cantaloupes would be.  That's where the cantaloupes would be if we had any, but we don't, we're all out."

I did not expect a lesson in semantics at 10 at night in the grocery store!

And it's in about eight pieces on Rapidshare, which is the worst site EVER for downloading if you don't have an account.

ugh. I never try with the split up downloads, they never wind up working for me

I'm thinking I may just have to give up and go run some errands.

I KNOW. It's not like I'm going to get to watch it until tonight, but I kind of wanted to upload it and shared.

grumble, grumble, stupid US.

You'd think, being a member of four different episode communities, I'd be able to find something I could download.

I'm only on three, but yeah- you'd think! *grumbles some more*

Apparently, though, someone is in the process of uploading to MU on one of them, so we'll see.

Uses appropriate quote: I hate waiting

Especially when it's already up, but it'll still take hours to download.

in one frame of mind I KNOW before the night is out I'll be able to watch it, but then there's that other frame of mind that stamps it's feet and says I WANT IT NOW

Same here...because, OMG, FINALE!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I know it'll be disappointing and all, but i don't care. like you said. OMG FINALE!!

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I've set my standards REALLY low, so I'm hoping they're low enough for me not to be disappointed, but I still want to see everyone get back together and save the world, dammit.

I have VERY low standards as well. set the bar about ankle height. It's GOT to be better than that (of course LoTTL barely skimmed over my bar placement last year, but still)

especially since we won't get a proper season of either show in 2009

but I have MAJOR doubts. They built up the end of e12 in ways that they just can't keep things going and have me satisfied for e13 unless things happen that I can't fathom actually happening.

And if there is one more Doctor=God/Jesus reference I WILL kill someone

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

And I'm with you on the references bit.

I know I shouldn't expect any different from RTD (did you ever see his miniseries "second Coming"? ) but still. It's gotten old.

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. You'd think he'd get the picture by now.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently not. He seemed to think Rose was the best thing since sliced bread and Jack wasn't all that useful on DW. moron

is MU working for you? It seems awfully slow for me- still at 0%

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's just going ridiculously slow. I hate to see how long it's gonna take when I try to upload.
