Arguing Semantics

[donutsweeper]

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!

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.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

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

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

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

*drums fingers*

Uses appropriate quote: I hate waiting

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

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

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Same here...because, OMG, FINALE!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I know it'll be disappointing and all, but i don't care. like you said. OMG FINALE!!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

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.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

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)

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It damn well better be.

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

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

And I'm with you on the references bit.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

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

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I know. You'd think he'd get the picture by now.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Apparently not. He seemed to think Rose was the best thing since sliced bread and Jack wasn't all that useful on DW. moron

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

He should have at least seen the value of Jack for his level of gorgeousness.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

absolutely. At least he did write that "what are you doing, stet radiation doesn't affect clothing" scene, but... dumbass that he is had Jack keep his tshirt on

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Idiot.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

think about how many times Gene Roddenbury managed to get Kirk's shirt off. and RTD's managed it for Jack, what, twice?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

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

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's just going ridiculously slow. I hate to see how long it's gonna take when I try to upload.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

okay, at least it's not just me and my 'puter. *SIGH* stupid MU.

oooh, 8 min in and up to 1%!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Mine is saying it's gonna take five hours. NOOOOOO!
