Veronica Mars vs Lost
« on: February 01, 2006, 08:54:27 AM »
So, I discovered VM over the weekend.  Better late than never, I suppose.

Should I watch Veronica Mars and record Lost, or vice versa?  There must be other people with this problem.  Help me!

Oh, just in case you're like me and didn't know what Veronica Mars was, here:

I think tonight's Lost is a rerun, if that matters.

How about you watch neither, read a book, and nourish your brain cells instead of destroying them with dreck and pablum?

Nah. Turning pages requires effort. Smiley

bite me.  I've read or completed 4 books this year (06) alone.  I've earned the right to destroy some of that grey matter. Tongue

As if Family Guy isn't dreck and pablum... Tongue Tongue

"I've read or completed 4 books this year (06) alone."

Comic books don't count.

Only 4?

Damn, boy, you're lagging.

I'm through 7 with 3 more to be completed in a matter of days. Granted, two are re-reads, but I've not read them for a few years.

Which reminds me, I have to bring your Elmer Keith book back. That boy needed an editor.

It's a cartoon. Of course it's dreck and pablum.

I'll loan you a wife, kid, and 1hr commute and see how many you read. Tongue

Something he and others have admitted in the past.  It was no secret that his spelling and grammar skills were poor.

Don't whine to me about the choices you've made in your life! Cheesy

Besides, I'm not sure I'd survive a prolonged encounter with your daughter.

"It was no secret that his spelling and grammar skills were poor."

Not what I'm talking about. Just a general tightening up. For instance, in one chapter he introduces us to the same person at least 3 times, using almost the exact same description of the person. The grammar isn't that big of an issue in this kind of biography.

It's been a few years since I read it, I'll have to read that section again.

mtnbkr, I was thinking the same thing. 10 books in 30 days is an accomplishment. You must have a lot of spare time Mike.

Dick and Jane books tend to go very fast.

I'm single, and I read pretty rapidly.

Record Lost, only because the next day, you have to replay parts frame by frame to catch the Easter Eggs. A couple of weeks ago during the Eko episode, the next day there were pictures all over the net about all the stuff he saw when he stuck his head in the monster / smoke / cloud. I didn't see jack while watching that realtime.
