You say that, but the bit about the car porn does raise a few suspicions.

I just figured it'd be an apt metaphor...

Also, my mind sometimes goes off on weird tangents.  Its been a weird kinda week for me, so excuse me if I seem to kinda veer off toward Non-Sequitur Land.

In all honestly, evolution kind of already is applied to cars (and pretty much every other good or service out there). They're designed, sold, the design is refined based on what's the most profitable, and the whole process repeats. Not quite the same as biological evolution, and traits are selected based on profitability rather than beauty (though beauty isn't exactly quantifiable), but the overall concept is the same.

This is true, my method would be, if nothing else, faster.  Why waste time on formulating better, faster, prettier cars when you could develop a tool to do it for you?

Ongoing development is half the fun!  Also, half your paycheck.

My major guilty pleasure is watching paranormal shows. My current favourite is A Haunting, mostly for how well they portray the Ghost / Demon of the Week, and for actual drama. You cannot tell how an episode is gonna end.

I hope another show comes on / comes back on for the Halloween season.

Starting season 2 of Twin Peaks, can't wait to watch the show fall apart after they reveal who the killer is! Also I just read that the show's been, somehow, renewed for a bunch more episodes that are gonna come out in a couple years, now I'm all excited!

The thing I read said they were set to air in 2016. In any case, I think I picked the right time to marathon this show, given that.

Halt and Catch Fire is a pretty good period drama, only 10 episodes long with a second season on the way so anybody can marathon it in a day or two.

I want to watch it! Ever since I heard an interview about it on Q I've wanted to see it, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

I torrented them all, you should be able to find the torrent files on any of the big torrent sites.

Finished up season four of The Walking Dead on Netflix.  All I gotta say is HOLY FUCK.

I just discovered that The Moaning of Life is a thing. As a fan of Karl Pilkington, this pleases me greatly.

I started watching Arrow on Netflix.

Am I the only one who thinks the "mascara mask" looks silly? And occasionally it feels silly that Queen bothers to take off the makeup and put it back on so meticulously between some scene changes.

I just think that wearing an actual mask over his eyes like the one in comics would be more practical AND do a better job concealing his features...

Not that such a mask works well anyway.

But I do like all the references to DC villains in the series.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Yay! "Marco Polo" season one is on Netflix now. I read that book as many times as I read The Lord of the Rings trilogy as a kid. I sure hope it's as good as the trailers look!

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.
