Torrents: "Family Guy", season five, episodes one and two.
I don't really know what RobotoLabs have been up to, but their lagging behind PDTV really kept me in the dark. Here are, hence, episodes one and two of "The Simpsons"'s brand-new, seventeenth season. Speaking of PDTV, here are episodes one and two of "American Dad." Finally, a group that releases on time and in high quality! Also, here is BakaKozou's belated release of "FMP:TSR"'s eighth episode. Now, if I could only hunt down episodes six, seven and nine of "Harvey Birdman:AAL" my datalust would be quenched...for a short while. ;)
Other things I am currently very interested in are "Age of Empires III", as well as Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which I have not seen at all, but since everyone's taling about it, I decided to give it a shot. Oh, fuck, I missed four [three, actually] whole seasons, already, but, not to worry: seasons one, two, three, or, alternately, all four [three] seasons are conveniently available on torrent. My god, and we used to run FTP servers and do trades and ratios and all that eDonkey BS. Life is good. ;)
Oh yeah, I completely forgot to mention: since my HP DeskJet 3650 is a complete and utter piece of shit (and now for sale; think thimble-sized cartridges), I went out and bought the Konica-Minolta Pagepro 1350W B&W laser printer. Hey, at $149.99 after rebate, 3,000 sheets per (reasonably-priced) cartridge, 8 MB of internal memory, 1200x1200 dpi resolution and a lightning-fast print speed (at 21-22 ppm), it was love at first sight.
Finally (I guess I saved the best for last), I am (still!) savouring Irvine Welsh's The Acid House (thanks, Carol!), since I just can't bring myself to read that amazing book in one sitting; I have to think many of the stories over, very carefully. Then there's Christian Bök's wonderful Eunoia, Michael Moore's Stupid White Men: And Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation! (which I already listened to in [abridged?] MP3 form once), good, old Hunter S. Thompson's Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness - Modern History from the Sports Desk, and, finally, Nicanor Parra's Antipoems: How to Look Better & Feel Great. I've been keeping busy.
Another thing which I completely forgot to tell about was the new aquarium that Paul generously bought for Turtle, right before he departed for Toronto. After I got my student loan, I decided to go all-out and bought a canister filter and a fake rock that my father and I mounted on a sawn-off bucket (sounds like a weapon, doesn't it?), containing two bricks, so that Turtle doesn't move it. Not a bad set up, if you ask me; now, Turtle can turn around easily and dive; it's quite a move up from that bucket she was living in at Trudy's grandma's (*shudder*) place. Good times. ;)
