Aspies For Freedom

I don't know if it counts, but right now, the hopefully-soon-to-be-the-new GUI of my simple volume control VST plugin, and the code I have written. (and hopefully, sooner or later, I will be looking at the new GUIs that I will make, using the new system, for the rest of my plugins, including the more evil of my two brickwall limiters. for you information, it is not merely evil, but terribly, TERRIBLY EEEVIL11!!!!111 *maniacal giggle* And therefore, it is also holy)

Apart from that, I have been intensely studying WaveLab's phase scope meter for quite a while while listening through music from various Sega Mega Drive games. Quite intresting. I have also been staring into a coffee cup for a while quite recently. Hmm... Perhaps I should stop posting on forums for tonight (and the following morning) and stick to coding, before my posts get too weird.

I watch only two shows on tv, MythBusters and and the 13 part series Cosmos on the Science Channel (it's old, but still very interesting).

I love quiz programmes, especially university challenge, mastermind and who wants to be a millionaire, I've been a contestant on mastermind twice and brain of britain and am struck by how many aspies there appear to be amongst the other contestants.

I've been watching Bleak House too - I watch the two weekly episodes, and then the repeated omnibus edition on Sunday afternoons, so I know I have understood it all.

The money lender Mr Smallweed is so vile it makes me squirm to see and hear him. And it came as a great shock to realise that Mr Smallweed and Mr Tulkinghorn should have a common purpose. And Poor Sargeant George!

I really should watch bleak house, I think Dickens' plots are great and  make very good television, but I can't stand his writing (although when I persevere, as I did with Great Expectations,  I quite enjoy it in the end)  I did Bleak House for A Levels and only read half the book (but still managed to get a B in the exam answering a question on Bleak House!)

I agree with Stella about 'weakest link', and also hate the 'celebrity' editions of 'millionaire', and also get really annoyed with contestants on millionaire who are only there for the money and so lacking in knowledge that they have used up all their 'lifelines' before they get to £16k, but do enjoy it when there is a contestant who really knows their stuff.

I am watching House, Lost and Qi at the moment. Apart from that I am on the internet. I have watched a few episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist on shoutcast. Also I have been looking around at alternative media online.

Anything to do with "celebrities" is boring beyond belief.

Your 100 Best Ever Celebrity Blunders,  and all its dreary variants.

How can they justify the egregious  license fee for this kind of humbug?

Stella

My television has developed a rather odd fault. Every time I switch it on I only seem to be able to receive either the "Award Awards" - the annual Award for the best Awards ceremony for Celebrity House Renovation and Purchase of the Year - or "Your 100 Naughtiest Ever Celebrity Blunders." No matter which channel I turn to, my television seems unable to receive anything but these programmes.

I've read up a bit on TV repairs, and will now add a sledge hammer to my small collection of essential tools.

Stella

I don't watch a lot of TV, but there are a few cartoons I watch fervently; specifically, Family Guy, American Dad, Naruto, Samurai Champloo, and the new Boondocks cartoon.

Somehow it's much easier for me to relate to animated characters over real ones. Not sure why.

I'm sure you speak for aspies (and house trained NTs) everywhere, Stella!

p.s.  re your posting on dreams, I'd never thought of myself as a 'Foozles' before, but its growing on me!

While I doesn't watch it at the moment, I love a particular show more than anything else on TV: Anders och Måns!
It's almost impossible to explain it's pure awesomeness to someone who haven't seen it, but it's mainly about two men with the same glasses and striped sweaters who does completely random things, like visiting a really large pumpkin, attending a dog-show with the hideous probably-a-dog Nöken, demonstrating that people are more afraid of wet band-aids than sharks, covering the parlament of Germany in canned ham, recieves super-powers when one of them are bitten by a radioactive goat and finally revealing that the bosses of the Swedish television channel SVT are in fact aliens. It's a lot better than it sounds like, really.

My favourite television shows are:

Six Feet Under.
Oz.
Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit.
The Shield.
Bob and Rose.
House.

I like to watch:
CSI and CSI New York.

And my favourite movies are:
Secretary.
Closer.
Crash.
Eulogy.
Batman Begins.
American Beauty.
The Royal Tennenbaums.

I watch, on average, one hour of television a week. House at least allows me to take comfort in the idea that there is a doctor out there who is not a normie ***.

Numb3rs.
Cold Case.
House.
Every single episode of Catalyst.
7.30 Report (love craggy old Kerry O'Brien, particularly when he sticks it oh-so-politely to John Howard!)
The new New Zealand series Detention with Mr Gormsby.
Reruns of Medium.
