Color me disappointed.
It Stinks!

Karen and I finally got a chance to watch the first disc of season VIII of Red Dwarf last night.

Holy crap.

It was unimaginably bad. Awkward lines, recycled shtick, formulaic jokes... it was as though they'd hired some American sitcom writers who watched a few prior episodes to make note of the lines which got the biggest laughs, then tried to write a three-part story around them. And they wasted precious time by tacking on tediously unfunny bits like dancing shuttlecraft and poor stop-motion animation which did nothing to advance the story. It was simply awful.

If that's how the rest of the final season went, the show's cancellation was a kindness. Sic transit gloria.

Mona Lisa
Steamboat Willie

It's a poor carpenter who blames his tools, the saying goes. And I guess it's hard to gainsay that sentiment after you've seen the Mona Lisa recreated in MS Paint.

Update: Actually, there's a lot of stuff like that on YouTube if you search for speed painting. The ones by Nico Di Mattia are phenomenal.

Stranger than Fiction
Oceania Flag

Is it just me, or does Former Deputy AG James Comey's testimony sound more like something out of a Tom Clancy novel than like something one would expect in real life?

Stupid company
I\'m wishing ass cancer on you!

Why the hell does my company even offer the option to enter expenses in foreign currency if the expense reporting system isn't set up to handle foreign currency?

And why isn't the expense reporting system set up to handle foreign currency given that we do business in other countries, where the currency is foreign, and employees are not infrequently sent to those countries?
