Helga, I have to say that in the context of your post, your Mr. Spock quote is hilarious.

I drink my bad tea mixed with good, strong tea and that makes it OK. I try to buy expensive tea and coffee cause I know it usually is better, this was just a bad brand, and it's Darjeeling, I love that.
Darjeeling's cool. I'm into the lapsang souchang heavily, I drink it day and night. I buy it in huge bags from Amazon.
sounds good, might check it out.
Apparently I don't just talk to the tv I talk to books and the newspaper too, my son pointed it out, he found it odd.
You talk to the TV. I am glad to read this, as it is a steady habit of mine. I am forever rewriting the show as I'm watching it, because shows generally don't go the way I want them to. I insert lines of dialogue, play along, as it were. I comment to the characters, writers and producers. I keep thinking that when interactive VR comes along, driven by AI that will respond to your wishes and moods on the fly, I will at last find satisfaction. I hope.Quote:

YES, my favourite time of year here on the ice is December and January, when the sun rises around noon and sets at three, it's perfect. I can feel my mood sink when the sun rises early and sets late. Darkness all the way!Quote:

Adele was recently reported to have passed the billion dollar mark. Now that's from three albums, I think. Blimey. You know you're popular when you release a few gramophone records and you're a billionaire.
After black history month, can we have cilantro history month?
Where's the doctor when you need him?
Doctor Hunter S. Thompson, that is. Keeeeee-riest he would be having fun this election year.
In the Devil's Dictionary, I mentioned horses and cows evolving and one day being our overlords. Well, it seems canines have gotten a head start. I'll say this for old Elmo, he sounds better than One Direction.

Still here, leaning into this machine.
Some of the Japanese sex dolls/bots coming out now are starting to approach the point of realism. They just need to give them flat heads so I can rest my drink on my dream girl while I, er, make use of her.
My friend was graduating yesterday and I went to a small party, didn't enjoy it, people are very ignorant and annoying and there was not a bookcase in the house! How is that possible?
I heard it said not long ago, never trust anyone whose television is bigger than their bookcase. I like that, except that since I went all electronic and audiobooks, I have no more bookcase and have a big HDTV. ;-) And let me second what you said about people, ignorant, annoying, and most of them are dumber than a sack full of hammer handles.Quote:
