During the police deposition, Negroponte's wife said she stuffed meat pies with human flesh and sold them to neighbors, schools and hospitals.

I haven't heard from caio in a while... you're alright, right caio? Want to make sure you're not pie filling.

Not at all, good friend. Thanks for the concern. Just, sadly, without time to hubski.

Been enjoying some mighty fine Star Trek: TNG episodes though.

Glad you're not "minced meat" caio. Star Trek eh? I'd say that's a worthy pastime, can't fault you there. Since you've been gone I've had to go to 3 quarks daily to get my tangential caio fix :)

By the way, when I read TNG I thought it was a "the new green" reference. -Nobody ever accused me of humility. I quickly realized it's a "the next generation". -Enjoy it!

We just ordered season 1 of Game of Thrones. I'm pretty excited.

May I ask if you watch those with your wife? I've been trying to think of a good series me and my girlfriend, who's not into SF/F, could watch.

Of course you can ask. I will be watching them with her. We still haven't received the first video so I have no idea whether she will like it or not.

We watch a lot of series together and she sometimes likes SF/F and sometimes doesn't. Here are some of the great series we've both enjoyed in no particular order and not relegated to SF/F

  1. Rome -too short lived, wish it had lasted longer
  2. The Tudors -first 2 seasons
  3. Twin Peaks 
  4. Firefly - too short lived wish it had lasted longer
  5. Madmen - First 2 seasons
  6. Arrested Development -Funniest show ever made (also too short lived but it's being resurrected)
  7. Jericho -Too short lived wish it had lasted longer
  8. Carnival -Too short lived wish it had lasted longer
  9. John Adams -Miniseries from HBO
  10. Only so I could have ten -Battlestar Galactica (wife didn't watch this one but I think she'd like it).

There you go pal. I bet you've seen a lot of these already. If I were to pick just one to watch, I'd go with Carnival it's weird and wonderful.

I have to admit that I end up finding many series go down hill after the second season.

If you two watch twin peaks together, make a special event of it. We would watch it with another couple and always have coffee and pie each time. Then at the end we had scotch, chocolate and sometimes cigars -(no reference to the show, just damned fun things to have)

Enjoy!
