Mad Men
I´m a history nerd and love dialogue-driven movies and shows - so Mad Men is perfect for me. Maybe my favorite show ever.
· tv season from Blockbuster
town Me, but not for long.

bestfriend I've heard it's gotten a little worse- true?
Eyes Wide Shut
Kubrick is awesome and this is one of his best. Very Shakespearean, very eerie and sexual. If you're looking for a light movie, this isn't it.

impulsebuyer I enjoyed Clockwork Orange a lot! I'll have to check this out
girlfriday I loooooove this movie! Have been wanting to see it again for 10 years. Haven't seen it since 1999.
gkruis I need to watch it. I should go on a manic Kubrick binge.
Barton Fink
Great movie. Of the Coen Brothers movies I've seen, probably the most literary and enigmatic - so probably not as widely liked.
· movie from Blockbuster
riddlefish I've heard this movie is amazing, but I'm not nearly as amazed as the fact that Blockbuster still exists! Did you find the last one?? Nice work!! :D
lesayoh I love tuturro. He was great in quiz show. he should have won something a cookie anything
Sid Meier's Civilization V
New installment of my favorite game. Can't wait.
· $49.99 from Amazon
fnoo Must report back on the hexagons.

And the city states. I've always been irritated that whatever your initial strategy, earlier installments all basically come down to conquest. Now it sounds a bit more flexible.
10 Ft. Ganja Plant - Essential 10 Ft. Ganja Plant
I highly recommend this if you like reggae. Plus it's an incredibly cheap album. Blood Money and Walkey Walk Tall are awesome.
· $5.99 album from iTunes
beverlynoelle Definitely thought you bought an actual 10 ft. ganja plant online somewhere and I was like "DAAAAAYUUUM"
town I wish.
Super Mario Kart
Classic.
· $14.99 game from Amazon
MizzBlaze Mario Kart for 64 IS the best, especially in battle mode
fnoo This one doesn't tether the cars the way the later games do, though. If you pull ahead of the other cars, you stay ahead until they keep up with you.
amyuhrich I just think Super Nintendo is the best Nintendo system. Period.
fnoo I dunno. There aren't... really too many interesting games for it. Each Nintendo system seems to have diminishing returns. The NES has dozens upon dozens. The SNES has a handful. The N64... a few. The GameCube... a slim few. And now the Wii, well, it's a good idea in theory...
fnoo Super Turrican is certainly kick-ass. Best in its series, despite what the Amiga die-hards will claim.
amyuhrich Okay, I agree that the systems keep getting less interesting. NES was awesome, but I like the graphics a lot better for SNES (and I grew up with it, so I'm more attached to the games, some of which were amazing), and after that...it got too pretty for me and lost its simple charms - but that's a personal thing. Keep in mind that I also like SNES/Nintendo better than any other game console/company (it just appeals to the kid in me more, despite cute Playstation games like Crash Bandicoot).
Hollowing Out the Middle: The Rural Brain Drain and What It Means for Am...
Heard this guy speak on NPR and was pretty impressed. After being away and now living back home in Montana, I have seen firsthand the consequences of this trend. Interested to see how the author elaborates on the subject.

Belkin Headphone Adapter with Remote for iPod Shuffle
My apparently non-resilient iPod Touch broke, grumble grumble...so not wanting to spend the money on a new one, downgraded to a Shuffle. After buying that, I find out that the controls are not on the Shuffle itself, but instead on the ear buds, which I hate. So, in order to turn up or down the volume, skips songs, etc. I have to buy this. I'm fairly pissed at Apple's style over substance/durability stance right now.

Caltrain
Caltrain is awesome. Because of it I could work on the Peninsula, live in the City and sell my car. I think that it would be even more enticiing for people if the service was expanded - unfortunately, I think California's budget problems will prevent this from happening.

gerardc In conversation the other day, someone called the express from Mountain View to SF "the bullet train". This seemed a little optimistic
fnoo So long as your job offered a shuttle bus from the station, you'd be set.

It would be nice if they just completed the BART loop down through San Jose.
Subway
We are doing some chainsaw work about an hour and a half from town - so we have to bring lunches. Subway's quick and healthy. Plus there's a cute girl working there that my co-workers want me to take out - so, there's a bit of a daily soap opera going there, for everyone's entertainment.
