pizza in Italy is the best. Italy has the right flour with low protein content, san marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, 100 year old pizza ovens, etc.

I've never had better pizza anywhere else...last time I was there (a year ago) I had this masterpiece of a pizza in Lido de Jesolo:

I like seafood. A lot =)

margherita is my favorite. tomato, basil, mozzarella, olive oil.

Same here. I only get the Frutti di mare pizza when I'm in the mood, and I know the seafood is fresh =)

Instead of eating salad by itself, just throw it on top of the pizza to make it taste good.

I made the most ridiculous Ham sandwich for lunch.

smoked ham, smoked gouda cheese, tomato, watercress with a honey, dijon mustard, salt, nutmeg, cider vinegar dressing on french stick.

the cider vinegar is key. I find pouring some italian dressing (and sprinkling some green olives) onto any lunchmeat sandwich immediately classes it up.

your favorite freezer-section pizza?

for me, a Jeno's in the toaster oven, a tall glass of coke, and star trek on tv, and i'm in couch-potato heaven.

I know there are better quality frozen pizzas, but Jeno's has that perfect combination of fat, salt, and crispiness

That makes sense. Well i'm a huge fan of original series and then tng (which I think kicked original series' ass out of the water, btw).

But for me, I just couldnt get into DS9 and enterprise. I think I know why though.

I mean, okay, lets take these one at a time.

DS9: All my friends (who do watch it, btw) tell me that after a couple of miserable opening seasons, it got a lot better. Problem: I only watched the first few miserable seasons and got so turned off by it that I never found the motivation to follow up with the rest. I suppose I should rent them from netflix or something. In the meanwhile I discovered Firefly (and Serenity) and, come on, omg, it kicked ass. Even the reboot of battlestar galactica kicked ass (mostly). With alternatives like that I just never got around to catching up with DS9.

Enterprise: sweetheart i'm sorry I cannot get past the opening song!. Does that make me a bad person?

wellington1869 · « **Reply #115 on:** Wed, 06 October 2010, 23:54:13 »

oh wow, i never did see the ending of enterprise - ima watch it now in your post!

lmnop · « **Reply #116 on:** Wed, 06 October 2010, 23:58:53 »

one of my favorite episodes of Next Generation.

I didn't like the intro to Enterprise. I think Jerry Goldsmith did most of the scoring for the Star Trek franchise and I enjoyed his orchestra scores. Jerry's son Joel does the scoring for the Stargate franchise.

Joel Goldsmith at work

I really like Battlestar Galactica too. I watched Serenity movie and enjoyed it but I haven't seen Firefly.

wellington1869 · « **Reply #117 on:** Thu, 07 October 2010, 00:21:40 »

thats one of my fav episodes of tng too, i have it saved on my tivo

I also like a lot of the Q episodes (which includes the first encounter with the Borg, for instance). Great episode.
Also like the one where Q is punished by being made human. There's a lot of sly and self-referential humor in that episode actually, its very cute.
A lot of people's favorite tng episode is the one where picard lives out a whole lifetime as an alien farmer of an extinct species after being probed by an alien craft. You know, the one with the flute. Its a very good one, though not necessarily my top choice.
Also people like the one where he visits home in France and fights with his older brother. Another excellent one but these were done during the 'soap opera' phase of tng which it went into for a year or two. Great character development but not much action.
Good stuff though. See they never lost sight of character development in tng, thats what made it so interesting year after year.

wellington1869 · « **Reply #118 on:** Thu, 07 October 2010, 00:23:41 »

if you liked serenity you'll love firefly. After watching serenity i was so blown away i went and rented all the firefly dvd's and watched them in a row. (I missed the original tv run).

is caprica any good? battlestar got a little slow towards the end.

lmnop · « **Reply #119 on:** Thu, 07 October 2010, 00:41:08 »

Deep Space Nine and Enterprise use the Berman formula which is a character driven drama that deals with topics like war, romance, politics, religion, etc. you wouldn't see this in Star Trek or Star Trek: The Next Generation

I like Caprica but the ratings are not good. I think it will get canceled.

the reason I haven't watched Firefly is because I don't want to get attached to something that was canceled after one season and say "I hate the Fox network!"

when Enterprise was canceled I turned to Stargate. The Stargate franchise has 17 seasons of television (3 series) and 3 movies.

Stargate Universe trailer

wellington1869 · « **Reply #120 on:** Thu, 07 October 2010, 00:58:06 »

I'll have to check out stargate. I think one of my friends recommended it to me before.
I've also been told to watch buffy the vampire slayer (joss whedon's other big project).

yea they keep talking about restarting firefly but with each passing year that seems much less likely.

Fox is just stupid. They also cancelled family guy before eventually restarting it when the dvds sold well.

lmnop · « **Reply #121 on:** Thu, 07 October 2010, 01:11:32 »

I think everybody has seen the 1994 Stargate film with Kurt Russell. Brad Wright (The Outer Limits) created a television series called Stargate SG-1 the story begins two years after the events of the 1994 Stargate film.

Stargate SG-1 isn't your typical film to television series.

Quote

With 10 seasons and 214 episodes Stargate SG-1 surpassed The X-Files in 2007 as the longest-running North American science fiction series on television, although Stargate SG-1 itself is expected to be surpassed in this record by Smallville in April 2011, as that series finishes its long run.

any television series that produces 10 seasons isn't bad.

Season 2 of Stargate Universe is airing now.

here is the order to watch.

Stargate (Film)
Stargate SG-1 Season 1-10
Stargate Ark of Truth (Film)
Stargate Continuum (Film)
Stargate Atlantis Season 1-5
Stargate Universe Season 1-2

wellington1869 · « **Reply #122 on:** Thu, 07 October 2010, 01:17:35 »

thanks, i'll definitely check it out. the trailer looks pretty good. and i need a new sci fi series to obsess about.

lmnop · « **Reply #123 on:** Thu, 07 October 2010, 01:41:43 »

a lot of science fiction actors in the Stargate franchise that are either guest stars or recurring roles.

Armin Shimerman, Colm Meaney, Marina Sirtis, Adam Baldwin, Claudia Black, Ben Browder, John DeLancie, Rene Auberjonois, Robert Picardo, Jewel Staite, Nicole de Boer, Morena Baccarin, Christopher Heyerdahl, Ernie Hudson, Ryan Robbins, Connor Trinneer.

Stargate Universe is terrible. I still watch it though as SG:1 and Atlantis were pretty cool imho (Sheppard's book of computer repair ftw!)

But Universe.... I was talking bout it with a friend recently and he pointed out sth. quite interesting:

In the 10 seasons of SG:1, alle the movies and the 5 seasons of Atlantis, how many times did people sleep with each other (that we know of)??

Now count how often people are getting down and dirty in just 1 season of Universe... All that love fest makes me sick and it is more of a soap opera than a sci-fi series. It's obviously marketed towards femals who read romance novels and it makes me sick.

Damn I just typed too much with my rubber dome at work. I think I'm getting carpal tunnel now. Excuse me I have to go throw up again

insanely busy days these days at work. I barely had time to scarf down a snickers bar for lunch (and no time for breakfast except a couple of coffees on the go). Day is still not done. I may get a chance to eat in another hour.

our caseload has been ramping up since august. I wonder if this means the economy is improving.

yes i do, all the time. trying to cut down meat in general. my understanding tho is that pork and chicken/turkey and fish are all slightly less fatty than beef. Dont know if thats true or not. will probably have whole wheat penne with green olives tonite, meeting friend for dinner.
Eating out is also precious socializing time, since everyone's so damn busy all the time. Like most new yorkers I rarely get to cook at home. I'd save a ton of money if I could eat at home more often. Or *gasp* pack a lunch.

Seth MacFarlane (born 26 October 1973; age 36) is the actor who played Rivers in two episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise.

MacFarlane is a descendant of Mayflower passenger William Brewster, who is an ancestor of 20th century entertainer Bing Crosby – grandfather of Star Trek: The Next Generation actress Denise Crosby. As such, MacFarlane and Denise Crosby are distant cousins.

Bryan Singer (producer/director House M.D, X-Men, X-Men 2, Superman Returns, Usual Suspects, Valkyrie) is a Star Trek fan. he had a cameo in Star Trek: Nemesis.

I used to down cheeseburgers like there was no tomorrow. I think its a real sign of personal progress that I found myself wishing for a spinach-feta pie instead.

we do the same in Canada bro ...

This is not super recent, but when I was a broke "college student", my drink of choice was as many cans of Bavaria 8.6 as I could afford, and this trusty tool I picked up at Canadian Tire. It's like it was made for drinking, it has a valve so you can load this ***** up to the brim and prepare before dropping it, it has a cap at the end to avoid dripping on someone's floor (I took it to every party), and it disassembles for easy cleaning/storage. Only one mod required, there is a filter inside that slows the flow of booze. Remove and you're good to go.

I was never into the bong. Come to think of it, I never really drank for drunkz. I was always more of a connoisseur of beer and wine. Now don't get it twisted; I've seen the other side way more times than I care to remember. Then there was that night with a stripper about 2 years ago that ended in me staying up for over 24 hours, throwing up in a Denny's and having a two day hangover. Ouch. I didn't even get any ass, either. I think that had more to do with my ex still living in my house a the time. Oh well, it probably saved me some whiskey-**** embarrassment. Kids, learn from your Uncle Stallion, if you're partyin' with a stipper, she can out-drink you, she's a pro, you're not. Make sure you nurse your beers and don't go toe-to-toe, you will flame out spectacularly.

instantkamera · « **Reply #149 on:** Fri, 15 October 2010, 07:06:46 »

pshhh, that's the ONLY reason I used to drink, was for drunkz, which is why I would put just about anything in that funnel (an 8 pack cans was a 10 minute MAX job. Couple of those and you feel really nice). Now that my body has slowed down to where I can't really process all the calories and **** from all that booze I have become more of a taster. Then again ... I got trashed on a Tuesday night recently ...
