mmm! tasty spiders...

the best tasting spider is the crab



hell yeah maryland!

I like to watch the Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central, which is always yesterday's episode over here due to time differences. However this week they've been airing episodes of last month. What's the point of that I have no clue. For one, I've seen them already, and secondly, it's news from last month. That ain't interesting anymore!



Next to that, I started watching True Detective. I'm in the 3rd or 4th episode now of the first season, and I'm really liking it so far. Started watching it mainly because Woody Harrelson stars in it. I've got a weak spot for him since the very beginning, when he was in Cheers. But especially Matthew McConaughey is great in it.

^^ re: true detective

a warning, cuz some of it is fascinating as fuck and some of it is depressing as hell

tread carefully!

Today will be packed with sports:
Right now it's Rugby League match New Zealand vs Great Britain, followed by Rugby Union final WC match of England vs South Africa. Thank God I was wide awake at 5AM, not really.
The rules between league and union are significantly different, which I didn't really know because rugby is such a small sport over here. I guess I like League more because it's quicker. It's just confusing to me that both England and Great Britain are playing on the same day. Go brexit! :)

Later today there is high speed skating, the first race of the season, Dutch trials which is always very competitive. winter is coming

Then tonight there's the F1 qualification for tomorrow's race in the US.

Maybe some football in between?

WATCHMEN on HBO is some weird, wild shit and I am hooked

Osmosis, French sci-fi about finding your "perfect match"

not bad, but should have used this guy in the adverts



big plus was many French girls in various stages of undress

Finally getting around to watching the 2nd season of the Terror

damn, that ghost is some oko-mote!

I listened to the score the other day (I don't have HBO, so I can't watch it), and good lord. Nun with a Motherfucking Gun [the credits song, apparently] is incredible.

90 Day Fiancé (Jorge & Anfisa)
Lesson learned: don't promise Russian girls you're a millionaire and you'll give them anything you want. They might take it seriously :rolleyes:
Even more important lesson: don't explain your partner how the find my iPhone option works if (s)he's paranoid. You'll get paranoid yourself by a continuously beeping noise

Also there's this brand new comedy show called Married With Children. The guy playing Buck Bundy should win an Emmy

The End of the F***ing World season 2, and it’s complete garbage so far.

going through the sopranos all over again, which, with time and distance, is a different kind of pleasure—less thrilling, but you see the structure more, the themes and variations, the changes in the characters, etc.

currently near the end of season 2. great.

Watchmen is going so hard on my goodness

Watchmen is asskickin!!!!

Indeed. Alan Moore should shut the fuck up and stop being a bitch about it

really great series of short docu's on Netflick, "Flavorful Origins". Obscure Chinese cuisine, from growing or harvesting the food to some minor recipes, not a cooking show, per se, just a homage to old school Chinese cookery, eg 3o year old preserved radish, seaweed use, marinated crab, etc. Really high production values, great cinematography, just a great length of only like 10 minutes for each episode. Highest recco's..

Mandarin Orange recipe I've GOT TO DO:

I bought myself some DVD boxsets and they arrived today:
- Fawlty Towers (2 seasons)
- Absolutely Fabulous (5 seasons)
- Blackadder (4 seasons)


And I ordered the fully restored 50th anniversary Monty Phython Flying Circus boxset
And also the Monty Python Absolutely Everything boxset. Which I'll perhaps return after I received it, because it might be a bit superfluous. But I might as well keep it. It's a bit weird there are several different kinds of these boxsets, some with 12, some with 13 and some with 14 discs. Not sure what exactly the differences are. I think I'm getting the one with 13 discs.

Bloody fucking hell
My home stereo system suddenly decided that it no longer wants to recognize any DVD's. CD's and Bluray's are still fine, but no more DVD's, even those that used to work. :( :mad:
Just when I wanted to start watching some Blackadder :fuckyou:

Guess it needs a replacement, it's already 10 years old perhaps

i know dvd and br use a different laser. not sure about cd... but if it's the laser.. maybe it just needs a cleaning? i used to buy those fake dvds with a brush that would clean the laser lens.

if you already did that then yeah BURN BURN BURN IT :D

i haven't used physical media in ages. maybe look for online options? don't know... i think black adder here is on amazon... or maybe it was netflix.
