Various things

All right, here's the list:

1) Stupid Hotmail changed its layout again. As always it has become a lot more complicated than before, with at least one more step to actually get to read one's mail. Curses on them, why do they have to do that?!?!

2) Maintenance guys managed to repair my video recorder. Yay!

3) I've watcher almost six out of the eight episoded of my brand new Kindred:The Embraced collection. It's great! Thanks again, Snicklepop!

4) I've bought and watched the TTT Extended Edition. No comment. I need to win some perspective first.

Great news about your video recorder, but, oh dear, it sounds as though you really, really hated the EE.

I feel bad for urging you to watch it now.

I didn't really hate it. I men it couldn't get any *worse* for me than the theatrical release. I just had the faint hope that I'll like it better.

I didn't.

Did you like any of the new material? I thought that the best improvements were the extended, better-paced end sequence, and Faramir's speech on the unnamed Haradrim soldier.

Glad that Kindred: The Embraced was more enjoyable, anyway :)

Faramir's speech? You mean Sam's, right? At least these were Sam's thoughts from The Books, originally.

It *was* better than the movie version, of course, but I hated the Evil!Denethor parts. Imagine the horrid crapfics, that will be based on this scene.

Imagine? Oh, no, I don't have to imagine; I've read some of them. And they all seem to be B/F slash fics (*shudder*) for some reason.

Oh, come on - you already know the answer. The old layout was easy to use, functional, and everybody liked it. But this is the Internet, where it's mandatory that things be cumbersome and frustrating! Hotmail had no choice!

(Figures they'd concentrate on useless layout changes rather than improving the spam filters.)
