I can watch a star trek made before 2000 any day of the week, even voyager, because it's episodic and satisfying.

Farscape, sg1, Babylon 5, Miami vice, Banacek, columbo, magnum pi, rat patrol, batman the animated series, MacGyver, saved by the bell, the love boat and so on are all incredibly rewatchable. Just little story times for good boys and girls

I walked away from my couch for 2 minutes to put the kettle on to make coffee and my cat stole my blanket. I just wanted to wallow in self pity today because I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week (it wasn't a good fit for me anyway but still)

There are so many houses that are actually already open without anyone living in them. People just don't want to give up their grip on being a landlord. I called this one lady the other day to try and rent her house and after going through the entire spiel she's like, "oh, I'll be living in the garage" I laughed and was like wtf?

Apparently the house was an airb&b and she had others but because of the market for them crashing she had no renters and no money so no where to live. I would be paying her mortgage while she lived in the garage. gently caress that lmao

I wish I could watch these series online legally on my language. Is very easy to find warez websites, but very hard or imposible to find legal ones.
I would totally watch Columbo.

On my region Netflix don't have the original Cosmos serie, only the boring new one.
