You know, they're both pretty do-able. I think it comes down to who you'd rather NOT have as a father-in-law *g*

Well, having lil' Johnny walk in on you would rather kill the mood...

Nah, I'd just ask him to join in.

Ugh, I feel ill even JOKING about that.

Nothing at all to do with the post content, but I just wanted to let you know that my registration email went through to my gmail spam filter. Not quite sure why, but I thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to note the possibility of that happening somewhere.

Re: Mythos Alpha Gameplay Report

It's odd, because Gmail usually is pretty good with Spam. Obviously they just see an email from you and think pr0n!

Early 30s isn't too far off...

Re: Which is worse - hatred of a religion or of a race?

Tara — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 19:44:00 -0000

I can't vote, because I think they're equally bad. They both involve blind hatred of people for one aspect of who they are. Sure, you can try to separate things out and say "oh, I just hate the religion itself and not the people who ascribe to it" but it very rarely works out like that. It's still prejudice, it's still intolerance, and I'm frankly getting very sick of people judging me according to their misconceived notions about Christianity.

Also, I think it's important to remember that religion is almost as unavoidable as race in many parts of the world, and that much of the religious hatred we see these days is just another form of racism. Islam is the most obvious example of that.

I just think it's very dangerous to hate any group of people as one.

Yeah, I know you can tell the difference between the people and the institution, but unfortunately a lot of the people who go on about hating one religion or another can't :( I also think there needs to be a distinction between the actual religion and the various interpretations of one or another small aspect of the religion to suit a small group of people's completely unrelated goals. Perversion of religion is always the thing that causes trouble, whether that perversion leads to 9-11, Fred Phelps or killing yourself to join Hale Bop ;)

I couldn't care less what she sings. I just want her to cut out the false humility act. It makes me want to stomp on her toes or sommat *g*

Re: mythor.net » New Year’s Resolutions - Do You Make Them?

Tara — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 17:49:57 -0000

My success rate is helped greatly by the kind of resolutions I tend to make. Like seeing lots of musicals and stuff :D

So my prediction for future hottie is Pati at this stage of things :D

Re: Recap #1 - Sunday 4th Feb. - Initial Weigh-in

Tara — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 04:08:47 -0000

She looks a bit old for her age, but that'll probably change once she starts to lose a bit.

Shaving the beards off usually helps the blokes look better, too. It was like Brian (I think?) in the most recent US series, who turned out to be teh hawt underneath the facial fuzz.

Ugh, that's a pity. I thought she had a really good attitude :(

Re: Recap #8 - Monday 12th Feb. - First elimination, backstab redux.

Tara — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 08:05:39 -0000

Gah, Courtney is pissing me off more with each episode. I mean, I get the psychology behind it all - he's immature and thus can only see one way to make himself feel better about himself: by being a bitch to other people. Unfortunately, he's not on "Survivor", and that sort of attitude won't get him very far.

Alex annoyed me a little as a viewer, but he deserved to be there. I can't say the same for Courtney, and go Jillian for saying it to his face!

Re: Recap #8 - Monday 12th Feb. - First elimination, backstab redux.

Tara — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 17:20:18 -0000

Yeah, he wasn't my favourite either, but I'd keep a fairly annoying person who worked in over a slacker any time!

I think he's pissed Jillian off good & proper now, so if he's not broken yet, she'll keep trying *g*

Is it just me or do they not have a bog standard download option? I don't want a podcast :(

Re: NEWSFLASH! The Biggest Loser secret revealed early!

Tara — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:49:09 -0000

Laura is totally pretty. It's a real pity that she's not the one who's the lesbian *g*

Re: NEWSFLASH! The Biggest Loser secret revealed early!

Tara — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 05:05:23 -0000

She's spookily familiar, actually. I know I don't KNOW her, because I wouldn't forget that stupid name, but I reckon I've seen her around the place in Melbourne, whether it was at uni or when I was working.

Re: NEWSFLASH! The Biggest Loser secret revealed early!

Yay! I'm vicariously <strike>fat</strike> famous!

Re: NEWSFLASH! The Biggest Loser secret revealed early!

Tara — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 06:35:37 -0000

Perhaps it's just that she has "one of those faces" *g*

Re: Recap #23 - Thursday 1st March - The Walk? With Munnalita? Is in this episode?

Tara — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 06:15:05 -0000

I wanted to BITE Courtney when he said that about Jules. Because, y'know, he needs it just as much as she does. Riiiight.

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Tara — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 06:14:35 -0000

I am SO pleased with the result. Now I just have to work out whether I want Munnalita or Courtney to leave more *g*

Re: Recap #55 - Sunday 8th April - Week 9 Weigh-in and Insta-Elimination Result

Tara — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 09:19:39 -0000

Missed the show tonight because I went out and it sounds like I missed a lot. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope Courtney stays. He's still a prat, but he's grown up a lot, whereas Munnalita? Needs to get out of her own childhood before having kids of her own *g*

Re: Recap #55 - Sunday 8th April - Week 9 Weigh-in and Insta-Elimination Result

Tara — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 10:24:45 -0000

I say that sort of thing a lot, but then people start going on about me wanting to curtail their 'right' to children. Uh... DUH :D

Re: Spoiler alert #42571!

Tara — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 23:07:50 -0000

You know, I think my biggest issue with all the 'twists' is that they brought Chris and Kimberlie in far too late. If you add together the *obvious* outcome of them going into the house after being outside (great initial weight loss) and the fact that they had initial immunity, there's not much chance at all to get rid of them before the final three. I seem to remember the US outsiders coming in a lot earlier in the game - although I could be remembering wrong. I just know that it was far easier for the US originals to boot them out.

Bringing someone back AGAIN is ridiculous unless that someone is Damien or P'eta simply because the way they were both eliminated is far worse than the annoyance of someone coming back again.

Gah. I wish they'd remember they're not Big Brother :/

Re: Spoiler alert #42571!

Tara — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 23:28:01 -0000

Yeah, she definitely got the worst of all the eliminations. I still don't like Damien's though, because getting one calorie choice wrong is fine for a weight penalty, but pretty poor reason for instant elimination :|

Yup, the US idea was much better. Even if they'd had a guy and a girl from each Aussie state, the pool would've been smaller, but it would've seemed a more sensible idea and outcome.

And meanwhile channel 10 is actually bringing BB back for another season. Le sigh.

Tara — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 09:54:28 -0000

Done! I got a bit annoyed at answering the same question several times with different wording, though.

Re: The Biggest Loser Needs YOU!

Tara — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:10:35 -0000

Well, I figured they'd get the picture that I think the walk is rubbish after I said so 843979487654 times ;)

Re: Season 3, Episode 7: First Competitive Weigh In - Prepare to be surprised!

Tara — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 05:24:05 -0000

This is super-appreciated tonight, given that I *thought* I was taping it to watch after dinner, but the stupid DVDR threw an error. Thank you!

Thanks for the update tonight - was watching the news instead <3
