What'd you think of the latest Top Gear Steef?
Is it just me...or is there a new energy to the show that has been missing the last two series? It also doesn't seem as forced as the last two or three series.

I thought the new one wasn't anywhere near a pretty as Clarkson made it out to be. Rather have an Aston Martin any day.

I think the E-Type, while beautiful is still strangely proportioned. Beautiful, but not the most beautiful..
That to me still goes to the Ferrari 275GTB.

Oh ok. For some reason I thought Texas was in the same time zone as California, which clearly makes no sense lol. Sometimes I amaze even myself...

What I don't understand is, if you don't have a job right now, why didn't you go with her?

Texas, it's like a whole nother country.
by the way it's 12:14 CST. This time next week I'll be at the midnight premiere of the last Harry Potter film.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

The more i get used to being on my own again, the more i miss her. I miss even the things I hate about her.
As long as I have known here she's has trouble being on time for anything. she was 45 minutes late for our first date. Everytime it has annoyed me...now i miss it. I miss the way she always looses stuff. from keys, to her wallet, to a blackberry that is only 6 days old. I guess missing that that is true love, or just insanity.
It's science.
There was a study where subjects were presented with two jars of cookies. One was full of cookies the other (due to either accident or demand) had only a couple of cookies in it. The subjects were asked to look at the cookies and rate how delicious and desirable they looked.
Everyone rated the cookies that had just a couple remaining as more delicious looking and more desirable.
Upon actually eating the cookies, however, the subjects did not find the scarce cookies to be any more delicious, attractive, or desirable than the abundant jar of cookies.

This is one of the most iconic yet quietly hidden moments in psychology. It's used to this day to hook you on games like FarmVille or World of Warcraft (entire video game companies have departments dedicated to research into this). To get you to buy products. And there is really no weapon against it, because it's just how the human mind is wired. The only thing you can do is learn to recognize when the rush of emotion for something that you don't have, and remind yourself that just because it seems appealing now doesn't mean it's actually any good.
What's striking is this bit:
c) cookies scarce because of high demand were rated higher than cookies that were scarce because of an accident.
Something that is scarce because of competition caused the highest inflation in the ratings.
Explains the game of love and jealousy, doesn't it?
