[springrite]

I am currently thinking I should get up and make some incomparable Rizhao Green Tea.

It is GOOD!

I am currently thinking about the Columbo episode I just watched.

It is GOOD!

I'm am currently thinking, "Now that I have seen almost all of the South Park episodes, there's only one new one a week to see. So what will i do without it?"

It is BAD!

I had a similar experience with addiction.  I beat Bioshock, and I'm like what I'm going to do now that I beat Bioshock?  One day later, I decided to start playing Bioshock again.

I'm thinking "girls are stupid" how can you love cartoons, but hate cartoons with classical music? Really, explain that one to me. She is lucky she has boobs or else who knows how she would get by...

Trying to decide whether I should play HL2 episode 2 first or continue on my company of heroes campaign.

I just realised something about car chase programmes (a pleasure that I don't particularly find guilty - crashes, gunfire, very injured criminals, it has much to enjoy):

One of the most frequent things that the narrator will say after a crash is something like "it's a miracle he wasn't killed", but I have NEVER heard the narrator say that somebody died at the end of a crash, just that "x was seriously injured", and even that is quite rare compared to the usual "minor injuries" or "uninjured".

While I don't actually want the criminals to die (I'd rather they lived in pain) - it does seem to push the boundaries of reality each time the narrator uses this "miracle" exclamation to announce that the people involved in a crash survived, as based on the evidence I have seen, the likelyhood of a crash death on these programmes are statistically insignificant, no matter how enormous the accident.

(I could've pretended that I was musing Heidegger's writings, but this pointless crap needs saying!)

I'm thinking diet Fresca, and no, not very good at all

First, if someone is driving away from the police, he will do anything not to get caught.  If you think to yourself, "I will get away from the cops," you better drive the best you've ever driven.

Also, if someone is driving fast, they are more attentive to the road.  For 2 years, I drove way past the speed limit everywhere I went, nearly avoiding fatal crashes for fun.  I thought I was a tremendous driver. No tickets!   Then, the tickets started to pile up, I got 7 in one year, and after that I had to drive "with caution."  However, when I drive the speed limit, I would lose concentration easily.  Sometimes it's less dangerous driving fast than driving the speed limit.

I may be being dumb, but I'm not sure how that point relates to this... These shows only show the drivers who can't drive well enough, are impaired due to substances, or have a helicopter following them meaning that even the best driver could not get away - I wouldn't dispute that some drivers can control their car well at fast speeds, but it's more to do with what happens when they crash, regardless of how they reached that situation. It just seems that these guys will not die, no matter how many times they flip their cars, or how fast they drive into a lamp post. It's strangely at odds with government road death statistics... Each survival seems to surprise the narrator, even though it always happens. Although I am unsure what the point of complaining about the script of these programmes is, considering the bizarre quasi-Shakespearean phrases people like John Bunnell use, but still, getting into a huff over nothing is part of the human condition

I am thinking of a way of attracting Christian evangelicals to the Democratic Party. 

You get a Republican candidate to cop to a belief in the Bush definition of torture, i.e, everything short of death or major organ failure causing activity is OK.  Then you hit them with this question:

"So, in other words, a Crown of Thorns is OK?"

[Mozart]

I am thinking "I hate where I live grrr!" Stupid Santa Anna wind keeps coming and going...and makes a loud whistle and sh1t outside my house makes all sorts of noise...My roof keeps rattling....and another part of my roof keeps crackling its like a very loud bowl of rice krispies...

I have to wake up in 2 hours...

Wow! Typing while sleeping. Cool.

Yeah, I've got a wicked case of sleeptyping

I'm thinking this is post number 100 for me.  Triple digits! 

Alright, I know that pales in comparison to some members here, but it is still GOOD. 

(Am I the only one here who hears Martha Stewart's voice every time I read "it is GOOD"?  Martha: "It's a good thing." )

I'm thinking, "If it wasn't for this forum, I would know a quarter of what I know now about good music."
-this is good

I'm thinking, "If it wasn't for this forum, I wouldn't encounter certain composers, conductors, etc. with an air of suspicion.  For example, I've heard that orchestras that begin with the letter "c" aren't very good, or that some piano concertos are too glossy, or that some symphonies aren't lyrical enough.  I wish posters would keep criticism to themselves and only describe their appreciation.  What some criticise, others appreciate, and vice versa."
-this is not so good (however, I'm sure people would criticise this criticism, in saying that criticism is part of learning).

[EmpNapoleon]

After reading a book on art critics and Jackson Pollock, I thought he would enjoy and agree with most of the repetitive criticisms of his work.  For example, he called it was a compliment when someone said his paintings lack a beginning or an end.

I am thinking: I don't know what soda is.

In US TV shows, I have gotten the impression that soda is a fizzy drink (AKA soft drink), but in most scenes people just ask for a "soda", implying that it is a certain type of drink (I certainly wouldn't ask for a soda if it meant I could get anything ranging from Coca Cola to something orange flavoured), but I can't recall a brand called that. Can someone take a second to explain this to someone who hates not knowing the tiniest stupid piece of information... (Google image search isn't making it obvious)

Yeah, a soda is a soft drink, a carbonated beverage like Coke, 7Up and Dr. Pepper. If they just ask for a soda, they probably don't care which kind.
