Day Two Hundred and Four - Thank You Al Gore

As we all know, the internets is a series of tubes invented by Al Gore [who always invented global warming - that one is less awesome] that is occasionally clogged up. In my life, this happens a lot - the clogging. I'm not very adventurous on the internet - I mean, I have my little blog here and I like to read certain message boards [and very very rarely post something] and I like my hot celeb gossip and my baseball scores and to do various types of research. I rarely even use YouTube and I've never downloaded music or movies or really anything.

Joseph and I are also creatures of habit. We never miss an episode of The Daily Show or The Colbert Report, but we tend to watch these shows while eating dinner [watching the previous night's show]. I love my VCR and I will never part with it, even though I think I might be the only person alive who still tapes things the old fashioned way. Well, our Thursday night episodes got sacrificed to the god of the Mummy marathon so tonight I watched The Daily Show/The Colbert Report online. It was okay, but somehow less tangible than the normal big screen show [my laptop wouldnt show it full screen because it's bitchy like that]. I like fast forwarding...although no adverts was really cool. I'm happy that our Comedy Network has decided to follow suit with their American counterpart and put these shows up in a really accessbile way [along with lots of other shows]. I think I just have to give up my prejudices - I spend *so* much time staring @ this screen, but I am still very uncomfortable with watching things, rather than just reading them.
