Michael Boyle's weblog
tvgohome for the first time tonight. As a friend described it, “As Monty Python is to the Smothers Brothers, tvgohome is to The Onion“.
The FAQ has a particularly funny bit: “Why use a JPEG for the listings instead of text?
Because I want precise control over the layout. And because it seriously annoys “real ale” Internet users who do all their browsing on text-based hand-held calculators, and that arouses me.”
I’ve been in for the past year is mine (not a shared situation), for the past year I had a semi-roommate, who lived in Ottawa but came back to Montreal every weekend or second weekend. It was a pretty good deal all around – a deal that ended this past weekend. I didn’t need the money or anything, so it’s no problem to lose it – and now I have the enjoyable situation of having a completely empty room to figure out what to do with! Do I move my office there, and use my current office as a permanent dining room? Do I buy a new couch and put my convertable futon thingie back there so it can serve as a guest room? Do I just use it for storage?
Damn, the possibilities are endless. And considering them makes me feel quite, ah, old.
I think, to have the opportunity to see friends captured both recently and 15 years earlier! High potential for hilarity and general (friendly) mocking, I think. It seems that I’m going to have that opportunity on June 20 when Who’s Dancin’ Now? airs on PBS, featuring a friend and former colleague who, well, we like to lovingly mock anyhow.
flash memory drive and one of those new switchblade style car keys, you can finally make something in your life look very 21st C.
