Merry tuesday to you

I think I figured out why I was in such a funk last week..   This sequester thing and knowing that the reason the knobs went on vacation last week wasn't because they wanted to get rested up for this weeks do nothing to avert it, they can do nothing as easily any time anywhere... They just knew there would be a hub bub made to avert the sequester, which they have no intention to avert.. I say let it happen and oh by the way they avoided or will avoid preventing the sequester and also will let the debt ceiling happen as well.. Anyone who thinks they will avoid this debacle, GUESS AGAIN!!

I admit I have been posting nasty comments on sites on Facebook, and so far I haven't been contacted by the admins. at Facebook to stop..  I post more links to sites having to do with political crap on Twitter than on Facebook now and want to keep the stuff on Facebook more light and humorous rather than deep and heavy with political crap..

Sunday was interesting, I was checking to see what time the big race started and found the time and under the story it said the race wouldn't be available online.. In other words NO STREAMING.. Well I thought I might have a site that might stream it.. Justin.tv, a private channel on Roku and the first one I checked in the sports section it looked like the race might be on there, clicked it and sure enough it was the race prerace that was going on.. I wondered where it was originating from so i watched it.. The quality wasn't great maybe a three out of five with a cream of mash pixelation going on there.. But it was on line.. I watched this until the race started and then it was blocked.. Darn, is it on elsewhere??  Turns out I was able to see the first half of the race on this app.. After that it was hit & miss, and at the final 25 laps I went strictly cable tv for the remainder of the race.. GO DANICA.. But alas it wasn't meant to be as she dropped like a stone in the final third of the last lap..  I was proud of her, she didn't once have to pull over to pee..  Good girl..

The new 6 strikes and you're out policy has gone into account.. What is the six strikes policy??  Well if you torrent you can be caught by isp's and be sent a nasty note saying stop that.. Supposedly it is going to curb that activity, and for doing movies and music I can see the point.. But as far as tv shows I don't agree that this is illegal and let me tell you why.. The dish network has a device called the hopper and it lets you record a nights shows and watch them without commercials and to me torenting is the same exact thing.. That and you really can't gain much from getting tv shows this way.. I get the lower end of the shows, the 233MB type of thing, the others are 1.3GB type, full on 1080p high def, which to me is just a huge waste of time to download.. For one thing the sound rarely syncs up right on any of the downloads no matter how good the thing is.. High def or low def is all the same, something happens in they process.. I like to watch some shows, some from america and some from everywhere else, experimenting with watching.. 

Speaking of trying some stuff I've never seen, Silver Rush looked like a show that might be good to see, with gold rush going off last friday.. I forgot it was on the night it was on so I got it via torrent and part one was really good so I went after parts 2 & 3 and will watch them today..

I got an app on the roku the other day that shows the netflix site completely different but the thing I liked most is it showed programming that they will be dropping soon, and so I made a concerted effort to see some of these shows just to see what they were like.. The shows I watched were documentery type and when I watched it the screen was square.. Didn't fill to the edges so that was one of the reasons they were letting some of these go.. I keep reading where netflix is having troubles getting new programs for their site and when I look at what I want to see, it's going to be a full year of watching shows before I will be worried about things to watch.. And watching a show like Rules of Engagement where I saw most of the show series originally, I will more than likely watch it again and again.. One of my favorite shows..  A lot of series I have never seen I want to watch..  Hopefully before the world ends..

The PNOP site has six days entries done..  The ones preset are around the twenty things within the entry.. The days that didn't have anything will have thirty or more entry things.. You know, smart asseed dipshitology type of things.. And the video clips like yesterdays here where it was just clips, will now be there instead, because they didn't make sense to have them here, so beginning next month those clips will be on days in March.. Kinda like I did for the third rock clips.. I might clip another show, maybe the first two seasons of MASH..  Those were the best in my mind but not everyone agrees.. Anyway that's the idea.. Enjoy the sequester, buy some popcorn and set back and watch the world crumble.. Have a happy sequester everyone.. Happy sequester..
