SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

No, I didn't, but that may have been because I was really busy for a few days.

That actually sounds really good to me.

Jim Carrey = meh

Except as Andy Kaufman.

I thought that Liar Liar was pretty good.  And Fun With Dick and Jane was kind of funny.  I don't really care for his brand of physical humor.  The ways that he can contort his face are pretty impressive, but I find them to be more of a distraction from the show rather than to be funny.

There is nothing wrong with that.  There are a few actors/actresses that I would like to have all of their movies/TV appearances to watch a marathon of.  Other than some people that have only appeared in 1 or 2 shows/movies, I don't think that there is an actor or actress out there that I can say I have seen every movie that they were in.  Hmm, sounds like a new thread.

Without commercials you can actually do the 24 marathon in about 16 hours.  I've thought about that too.  I have the first 5 years of 24 on DVD.  I think that there are usually 4 episodes on a disc, and I usually watch them a disc at a time.  I haven't done a 1 day marathon yet though.

And after all we're just talking meat. And music..

Well, it's just entertainment, folks!

Well, the lady from the Berlitz School responded to my email (which included my resumé), and told me she'll call me early next week to talk about an interview. That would be fantastic! I love language teaching (it's perhaps one of the few things I can do well), and the opportunity is too good to pass up. Hopefully the thing will go through... I am a bit tired of this 'permanent vacation', and getting a job I like will help me feel more of a part of society.

Buona fortuna Raff.   (I mean that in a positive Good Luck way.  The only Italian that I know is various forms of pasta.  I Googled good luck in Italian and that is what I found although further reading indicates that that is considered unlucky to say before someone goes on stage.

Well, that's sort of true. Actually, in Italy we refrain from saying auguri (best wishes) before exams and the like, and opt for the more picturesque in bocca al lupo (in the wolf's mouth), to which you must answer crepi! (let it die!). Buona fortuna is somewhat rare, and more formal, but it does indeed translate 'good luck' literally.

Alex, I took both your tests, and got an excellent 13/20 in the Jazz-Rock one, and an even more surprising 9/20 in the TD one. You know, using logic to do guesswork is not a bad thing after all!

Weather Report!
