So I'm on season 2 of The Wire and I just noticed i've been skipping past entire scenes. When I watch an episode of a show on DVD I usually skip over the opening credits, I just realized that with The Wire it doesn't take you to the start of the next scene. Should I just watch season 1 over again? Should I only watch the beginning of every show again?

When I watch an episode of a show on DVD I usually skip over the opening credits, I just realized that with The Wire it doesn't take you to the start of the next scene. Fuck, should I just watch season 1 over again? Fuck!

First off, the theme song is sweet and changes each season so why worry about losing a minute?!

2nd, I dont know. I really cant remember how much stuff wouldve gona on in the first "scene", which probably in a few episodes did matter and may have been like 10 minutes.

Unless you seem to be confused about something, Id just say keep rolling on. I think like I mentioned before, just watch all of those "previously on" parts before the episode, and you should be fine. I'd assume anything you might have missed will be addressed in that segment.


...also, last week listening to DVE in the morning they were talking about St. Patty's Day and the saturday celebration. Either Jim or Randy brought up the Market Square area and how its crazy and theyd never bring their family there under any circumstance - and compared it to Hamsterdam - which I just realized you havent gotten to that yet in Season 3, but I guarantee it will crack you up  ;D

I know I like the song, I like that Wait's version is on this season. I just got in a habit of doing that. It's a little more than a minute that I've been missing.

Oh, I know. Im saying the theme song is only like a minute, but depending on the episode, that 1st scene might be anywhere from 2-10 minutes.

I'd still just keep going episode to episode watching the "previously on" parts. You figured out you missed a couple things, you'll be cool from here on out.

and FYI, I dont know if you really like or dislike season 2 compared to season 1, but if there is 1 season out of all 5 that stands out as most different, its season 2.

at first I didnt like 2 nearly as much as 1, but in retrospect, its a really good season.

Oh geez! I found out today that my favorite NM restaurant shut down  :'( this is a bummer. For now, I'll just have to grab my enchilada cravings by the reins and settle for second best  :-/ I'm hoping they'll open up sometime in the future since this is their second time shutting down, but who knows  :-/

Not only do I have 5 hours of microbiology class starting at 9AM, but I have to leave and drive my mom and sister to the airport at 3:45AM so they can go to Florida for a week while I watch her dogs and scoop kitty litter because apparently it would cost too much for me to go and sleep on the hotel room floor and just hag out at the pool while they do the Disney deal >:( >:(

I think Im about to take my first nap Ive never enjoyed

Remember that awesome cat that I posted pictures of and still love so much? I don't know what's got into the guy, but he's taken to peeing in the corner of our living room. We've been cleaning it up and trying to figure out how to proceed, but then he pulls the kicker on me. I was about to give him up a couple weeks ago to somebody who was going to be home more, maybe with some well-behaved kids so that he could be a lot more socialized and loved on -- don't get me wrong, I'm home a lot and love on him a ton when I'm here, but I don't think it's the hours he likes and he's still never stopped roaming the house meowing at night.

Anywho, so I thought we were making headway and that he was about done with this corner. So I get home tonight, say "Hey cat" and rub his head, hop on my computer and look over to see him pulling the crouch on my bed. Right in the center. Luckily he didn't nuke my comforter (which he's pretty much already cashed with cat hair, but that's a sacrifice I'm okay with making for this guy), but he did leave a giant puddle in my sheets up near my pillows (which he also missed, thank God).

So I run him out of the room, get pretty irritated with him because, seriously, why would you do that, cat? and throw all the bedding materials in the wash. I come back upstairs after we get over this, take a nap for a bit (during which there are animal snuggles, I'm not going to hate on the guy too prolongedly for a one-time offense), get up and back on the computer, look over to watch him hop up on the bed, return to almost exactly the same spot, look me in the eyes and start to pull the crouch again. I dive across the room, sufficiently freak him out before he's gotten more than a drop out and throw him outside. He's not an outdoor cat, but he's a meaty dude and has all the necessary equipment to handle himself and stay warm (it's not very cold out, either.).

After a bit I bring him back in, figure he's learned his lesson, and talk to him sternly making a good deal of eye contact. He knows something's up, here. He disappears for a bit and I go upstairs, come back down and find him perched atop out cabinets. I talk to him a bit, coax him back down, rub on him, establish what looks like a little normalcy, and go to the laundry. He turns the corner, so I check just to see what he's up to, and he's now busy spraying a new corner, not the one he used to go for.

The stupid son of a bitch. I've never been mad like this, not mad at him for peeing in the corner, but pissed because I love this cat, but I have absolutely no idea what to do to keep him from doing this in my house, which pretty much necessitates me giving him up, which frustrates me so bad, because we've had such a cool attachment. He's acting absolutely ridiculously over the past couple days and it's as if he's almost at odds with me over something. Thing about it is, I can't afford to let him ruin my carpet in several places as well as putting my bed and comforter at risk, and, since a couple weeks ago with the corner didn't cement things down, tonight pretty much did. He's out on the front step now, and I'm packing him up and taking him down to PetSmart where they have the Saturday morning kitty adoptions tomorrow. I'd imagine I can probably find someone responsible there who maybe has a more active home where he'd integrate better and be socialized with other cats more (I'm the first home he's lived in without another cat, and he's over three years old, so this could be one of the primary problems here).

Aggggh, this sucksucksucksucks, but I absolutely can't afford to have to replace all my downstairs carpet when I move out because of this little guy.

Such a horrible feeling. There will someday be a cat for me, but this guy just cut his days with me short. Stupid cat (and I mean that in the most affectionate heart-broken way possible).

Hey Tom, have you tried looking up some stuff on the internet for this kind of behaviour? I've never owned a cat so I'd have no clue (although my dog has started acting the same way but he's usually an outside dog anyway). Maybe something changed in his routine.
Perhaps you could talk to a vet about it.

[Sparkle]

Hey Tom, sorry you're having trouble. Our female cat used to do something similar but it was only when there were other cats around. It was pretty frustrating and the smell is just horrible the way it lingers. Has he had the snip? Might be causing the problem if it's a male cat... Hope you manage to sort him out if the adoption doesn't go ahead.

[Buckles]

Tom - if you haven't already spoken to a vet, I'd be happy to speak to my brothers gf (whom is a vet herself). She has trained her cat to literally jump through hoops, so she could have some useful advice for your problem.

Our cat did same shit when we got new dog. Get anything new? ;)
Our cat made same trip to PetSmart

[Sassbox]

The cat might have a urinary tract infection.  Get some Nature's Miracle from PetSmart to take care of the spots where he's gone to the bathroom...it uses enzymes to eat the bacteria and really works.

I'm attempting to write a 10 page essay on semiotics, mix tapes, Marshall McLuhan and love.
It's not working.  :-[

[mjkoehler]

Feel like fucking used ass right now. Throat hurts, it's dry as fuck, scratchy, burns, I can barely talk, my kidneys hurts, I'm high as fuck on over the counter cold meds, it burns when I pee now, stuff's backin up into my ear canals, and I'm hooked on Mango/Peach white tea.

On top of that I'm uber busy at work. I just wish I felt better as I'm doing some really nice projects that I get to analyze the shit out of some stuff (something I'm good at and like doing but do not get to do as much as I would like cuz I'm too busy putting out fires), but I can't focus and I'm getting overwhelmed cuz I'm my eyes are glazing over at work and it ain't from eatin donuts.

oh, and the wife and kids have Dancing with B and C List Stars. Just keeps getting f'n better.
