I don't think I was really taught anything about American presidents in history classes, in years 7 - 9. We mostly seemed to learn about the middle ages in Europe.

| Sunhawk 08/24/17 2:57:44 PM #1 | June - pretty good. Got a package off Amazon, with new films, a new game, and a new book, and generally had a good time with them. July - pretty good. Wrote a new novel, and did a lot of gaming. August (so far) - bad. I've had hardly anything to do, and the weather has almost always been cloudy and cool, so it's been mostly uncomfortable outside, and inside as well. Overall, an alright Summer, although it isn't over quite a yet. I think there's about a week to go, but it depends on who you talk to. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.

| Topic | I am finally an HD gamer. It's not going well AT ALL. |
| Sunhawk 08/24/17 1:41:06 PM #1 | For years, I've been gaming on a pretty good CRT SD TV, with various consoles. Today, I got a fairly expensive new TV. It's Sharp, which is a mid-level brand, 1080p HD, and in the 30 inch range. I was really pleased about getting it. I've now played on it, and now only is the quality not nearly as good as I thought, it's fucking worse than my old TV. The image is slightly blurry and fuzzy, not looking quite as sharp as on my 13-year old CRT TV. I can't believe this. I've tried it on 2 games, one of the 360, and one on the Wii U, which of course are both HD consoles, and the picture looks a bit worse than the old TV. What the fuck is happening? Are all HD TVs this bad? The picture quality isn't great all, and this isn't at all the huge improvement in gaming that people say going from SD to 1080 HP. Perhaps it's just the games I've played. I didn't know how much of an improvement this was going to be, but I didn't expect it to be WORSE. Am I doing something wrong? Why is it like this? It's like playing on really old 3D games with blurry textures and edges to things. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... |
| Topic | I've pretty much given up on Ulysess. It's actually a pretty boring book. |
| Sunhawk 08/23/17 1:53:24 PM #1 | The main problem is the content. It's just not interesting. People wandering around an Irish town for the day, and having random conversations. Books set over short periods of time are often boring, IMO, but the things that happen aren't even interesting. I read about 350 pages (although I read some stuff from later on), and most of it was bad. I don't know how this is considered a classic. Also, modernism is one of my least favourite styles of writing. Dubliners was also bad, actually, it was dreadful. --- It has been 3 days since something interesting happened.

| Sunhawk 08/21/17 2:39:57 PM #1 | 1. How does making people watch Videodrome help make the Western World strong enough to fight the Eastern World? 2. How does giving people brain tumours which then kill them help anyone at all? 3. Why does the show even make people hallucinate, become ill, and eventually die? 4. Why would a women who condemns sex and violence like engaging in sex and violence so much? 5. If certain things we see in the film are hallicinations, who do they seem to have actual consequences, like killing the guys' co-workers and the other guy? To be fair, I've seen the film 2 times now, and the plot doesn't entirely make sense, although it's such a weird film, and fairly complex, so perhaps I just don't understand it. --- It has been 3 days since something interesting happened.
