Shoot the Wall (A.K.A. The Rant Thread)
Fantasy Lover replied to Banshee's topic in Miscellaneous Musings
I started my internship this Monday, my work is boring, tedious and asinine and most of my colleagues aren't really talkative and it turns out that working full time is extremely exhausting, and I have to do this for two more weeks! It's my first week and I'm already 100% done with it, the next two weeks are going to suck, a lot! Help me. - Today

I never realized that was a thing. I had assumed iTunes just picked an album at random, to offer samples or something. Kind of like how Microsoft computers came with a sample of pictures and bloatware (which used to be impossible to delete).
-
(Eek!) The thoughts were worse than that... 😱
-
Of course I'm jealous of Reetu for having Mark exclusively to herself for such a long time! The walls I could do by myself.
-
(Look away if easily offended.) A few of us(ahem) cough, confessed that we had other thoughts...when we first saw this pic.
-
Nope. Was the U2 iTunes incident a thing over there too? Where their newly released album was put on everyone’s iTunes account whether they wanted it or not? That’s not why I hate them, I just find them overly arrogant and preachy... sorry Arcadia!

I think of my brother, because U2 is his favorite. I don’t much care for them myself. (Sorry Arcadia. Shall I don my armor?)

Does anyone else think of Francis Gary Powers when U2 is mentioned?
-
Me too. Dang.

Seems there is no end to his talents.

He's quite a good painter. But I didn't know he can do cartoons.

One of the little, almost invisible, sparks of genius.

I've seen something of the sort in California, but I don't believe we have them in this part of the country -- maybe they live only the area west of the Rocky Mountains, which is just as much a different continent as Europe is from Asia.
-
Well, I do now! (If I'd heard about it before, it had slipped my mind.)
-
I hate U2, lol! Though I admit I haven’t heard Hawkmoon, I’ll give it a listen. 😁 I’ve got a bit of a weird day ahead, I’ve moaned before about being pestered into spending time with my niece and nephew when they come down and so to make it easier than just sitting about making awkward conversation I offered to take them looking for slowworms on a nature reserve. Could go well, could not. Dunno if you have slowworms there, they’re a legless lizard that look a bit like a snake.
-
Well I don't think he does it for everyone! I gather you did know he is an incredibly talented artist?
-
Do you like U2? I can't get enough of "Hawkmoon" lately.

"BBC Sherlock" articles & other miscellany
Carol the Dabbler replied to sfmpco's topic in The News Stand
The quitting rate for any job is 100% eventually. I would take that as more of a description of how hard the job is, rather than a prescription of what necessarily happens. If you're concerned about Mr. Moffat's involvement in Sherlock, remember that when he quit Doctor Who, he announced that he was going to quit, while he was still actively involved in the show, and then he did quit, right on schedule. With Sherlock, he's been saying that there will probably be more episodes sooner or later, so he just might be telling the truth there as well. -
I just happened to turn on this documentary on TV called "Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show". Moffat's not in it (at least so far) but those of you who are interested in how shows get made, and what the job of running a show (like Sherlock) can be like, might get something out of it. The only online link I could find was to this panel where they are discussing this documentary, but they have a clip of a few scenes so you can get a taste of it. I perked up mostly because both JJ Abrams and Joss Whedon are among the people interviewed, for what that's worth. That, and early on in the show, someone says that the quitting rate for showrunners is 100%, because it's such an all-consuming job.... hmmm......

I had no idea he did that sort of thing!

Really Lovely.
