Jonesing...

This month, in preparation of the holiday season, Omaha and I have been holding back on most "unnecessary" purchases. Unfortunately, one of those was my monthly subscription to Usenet. This is my first day without access and I'm totally jonesing. I keep looking at the stat window on my laptop and wondering, "Anything new? Anything new... oh, yeah."

Bleah. Cold turkey always sucks.

South Park rips Scientology a new one!

Oh, my gods. I just sat down and watched the South Park episode Trapped In The Closet. The Tom Cruise bit was only so-so funny, but the This Is What Scientologists Actually Believe schtick had me rolling with laughter. I couldn't believe they actually did it: told the world the truth. The Scientologist's subversive persons committee must have been screaming in agony to have their beliefs turned into a cartoon with lousier animation than All Your Base. If you haven't seen it, you must! Two thumbs up!
