There are exactly three things I am into at the moment.
The first is I have started rewatching The Outer Limits, which is great. I used to love that show, and frequently curse Channel 7 like a sailor when they changed programming at the last minute and showed some other crap instead. There’s a different face in each episode that you recognize from much later in their careers. Natasha Henstridge, the slutty one from Sex in the City, Fred Savage, and the list goes on.
The second is that today I bought a phone card. After months of struggling with Skype Out and my haphazrd internet connection, I can now safely say that I can call Australia easily and cheaply … I think its 2 baht per minute to landlines in Australia, around AU$0.07 per minutes, which is more expensive than Skype’s $0.0297 per minute, but infinitely higher call quality, and does Skype have a connection fee? I’m not sure. I’ll probably continue with the routine I developed today: trying first with Skype, and if it fails I will swear at it harshly, and then use the phone card.
The third is, unbelievably, South Park. As it’s aged, it’s become more social-commentary in nature. According to the Wiki page for it, because the show is almost exclusively computer-animated, most episodes are finished in 6 days, or as few as 3. I think this allows the show to remain topical and fresh. Having just read the Wikipedia page completely, I can verify that South Park mentioned the Saddam capture 3 days after it happened, which is amazing for any weekly TV show, let alone an animated cartoon.
