New Years Marathons
So for those of us who don't go "Out" for holidays and prefer sitting on
our asses, the extended TV theme Marathon is something of a tradition. Besides obvious choices
like watching all the Star Wars movies, what sorts of marathon
tv endurance tests are people planning? Buffy, Angel, Twin Peaks,
Iron Chef? What are you
gonna do?
-
Three months ago, we had a large, multi-channel
"let's see planes crashing into buildings" marathon and people jumping to their deaths" marathon.
-
For the last two months, we've had a large multi-channel "All things violent in Afghanistan" marathon."
Frankly, I'm all marathoned out.You just need to get in shape(and stay in shape), and dont talk to the girls about Linux and other /. related stuff.
And be confident, girls can sence a guy trying/wanting to hit on her(but dont really have the guts for it)a mile away.
Personally, I am going to leave the house, (gasp) go to a bar and get drunk with some friends. You see, I've learned something that the replies to this article would indicate that many here haven't... That hiding yourself from the rest of society (like staying home on New Years Eve) does far more to brand you as a geek than being seen out in your plastic-framed glasses talking about the latest kernal release. Life isn't high school; the cool guys won't pick on you anymore... Now they just ignore you which is fine by me.
