No, I've never got the chance to watch it.

I'm from the UK, and it's on Sky One, every now and then.

I might as well start with watching Season 1 and see if I get hooked.

I don't think I'll understand if I jump straight in to watch the newest one out.

Alright, but here's the deal: the show gets better with time. So if you aren't too impressed with the first few episodes, give it a chance and finish the season. Or at least watch the last four episodes of the season, although that will leave you a considerable gap...

Here is my question:

Do toilet-seat covers really protect us against anything?

I didn't have a copy before, but I do now. It's not signed. (And Elvis appears to be missing his left arm or, at the very least, his left hand.)

Prof_Pretorius, how do you feel about the Battle of Blood River?

Sorry, Tinky, I just noticed this.

I found college to be different than high school, but not necessarily easier. This is probably because even when I first started college I wasn't interested in meeting people, and didn't notice. What I did noticed is that I had the same study/school habits that I did in high school, the difference being, of course, that there was no hand-holding like you see in high school regarding grades. In college, you're on your own. That is what is different.

Are people less artificial? I dunno. I think that it depends.

I am now happy to report that after two years of abject failure at college, I just passed every single one of my classes from last semester. Every. single. one. That is a triumph.

College is a little easier in that there are more classes to choose from and a wider variety of teachers in charge of those classes, which increases the probability that you will find at least one class/professor you enjoy. You also have greater control over your schedule. And perhaps my most favorite part of college is the ability to choose classes that I am interested in, even "required classes." You will find that even "required classes" differ in their enjoyment, and one of my favorite classes so far has been an entry-level freshman economics class.

So I will say that college is definitely different than high school while not necessarily being easier.

Does that answer your question?

yep, i'm just scared that i'll swept away by all the essays and assignments i'm given...i should probably start changing my study methods

Well, if you know you have problem areas, start working on them now so you're not panicking when mid-terms or end of term comes and your 15 page paper isn't even started...that is NOT a happy thing.

29. Not bad for a kid who never paid attention in math class, and almost didn't graduate 'cause of missed math assignments, eh? Naw, it was the verbal stuff that saved me: 35 and 34 respectively. Math was still a 23. Nice!

I took it a second time and got a 34 after reading through a few practice tests and picking up some basic trigonometry and refreshing the geometry.

I only took the SAT once, and I know I did well, but not great--I know I got an 800 on the verbal (very good at that stuff am I), and not sure on the math...probably not higher than 550 or 600.

My question: what is the difference between a "kit" and a "caboodle?"

Yes, the two have become fused together in the lexicon. It is interesting.

So, the next question is: why are rain clouds dark?

They obstruct light.

Sniff, just the mention of great-grandad brings a proud tear to me eye, sniff.

Let's hoist a cold one, eh?

All right.

Don't you wish you had a rubber stamp?

FF8. It's awesome. Squall acts a lot like I do, but I would return Rinoa's affection a lot sooner than Squall did.

I like Zelda games on the console though, I'm going through Twilight Princess right now.
