Opinionated, outspoken, and once in a while funny!

So maybe I can just turn this into a journal:

Watched the finale of Warehouse 13 today, and it ended just before the actual end of the program! ARRRRGH!

But then I realized I could probably find it online. Sure enough, at ScyFy.com, I could hav watched the entire episode, and got to confirm that there was only a few seconds left, as I'd expected.

That was Cool.


I also realized that that was the first time I turned on my TV once in over a week!

I went into the Series Manager, and deleted all the old series. Which left only CSI, Mythbusters, and Agents of Shield. (I gave up NCSI this season...the loss of Ziva at least nipped the budding romance between her and Anthony, but also removed my interest in the show.)

I'm seriously beginning to think about cutting cable completely, and getting my shows online.

Russia's making noises about pulling out of the ISS partnership by 2020. NASA has NO man-capable vehicle even on the books. Private enterprise is still a ways away from regular orbital flights.

I now expect to see the end of the ISS project in my own lifetime.

THIS is why a species with the competitive spirit to get into space doesn't go any farther. They can't cooperate long enough to get off the planet permanently.
