Coupling

I can not believe I haven't posted about this on my blog. Coupling is the funniest TV show I have ever had the pleasure to view.

Here is a review posted on TV.com that I find extrememly accurate:

Two's company, three's a crowd... so what do you do with six? On average, men and women think about sex every six seconds. Shorten that to every second, and you've got Coupling. It's more than just a one night stand!When a couple gets together, it's never just the two of them - they also bring baggage - and Susan (Sarah Alexander) and Steve (Jack Davenport) are no exception. Their baggage is a crowd of best friends and exes who talk about all aspects of sex and relationships on their never-ending quest to find true love. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

If you have BBC America I suggest you catch it. If you don't find it on DVD. It is worth every second. :-)

What is Perplex City?

After my last post you may be saying "what is Perplex City?" or you may not care if you do not care feel free to surf on to your next stop. :-)

A World of Puzzles, Mystery and Intrigue

Wired.com says "It sounds like the back story for a cheesy Keanu Reeves vehicle: The Receda Cube has been stolen from the Perplex City Academy and secreted away from the unnamed planet to Earth."

This is a new form of game called a alternate-reality game basically you buy booster packs of cards (6 cards to a booster) and each card is a game, some are math some are logic some are just weird. For a sample card click below:



Once you have the cards you can go online and enter the results and see how you rank compared to thousands of other players but rank is not the important part... the important part is finding the Cube. Somewhere on earth there they have hidden the Cube. If you find it you win $200,000. Do I really think I will win? Nah but the puzzles are quite cool and I need something new to waste brain cells on. :-)

Damn you Eric! Welcome to Perplex City!

haiku's Personal Assessment

You'll be fine. Don't close your eyes. Staring into infinity can only lead to a sense of inadequacy and ultimately insanity. Get yourself a decent pair of shoes. Smart footwear is a key component in developing self-esteem. Your responses to the inkblot test suggest that you have antisocial tendencies if not a criminal record. If the authorities are not currently informed of your whereabouts call your local station immediately and give them your address.
