A guy, trying to finally pull his life together, has it ruined by a woman who forces him into fatherhood.

Very funny, but ultimately dark as hell.

  • Properly titled Clerks II
  • The woman in the poster is in the movie. I assume they photoshopped some cracker onto her.

  • Finished season one of Sense8 – (2015 show).

  • Played some more Path of Exile – (2013 game). It’s still very difficult.
  • Resurrected my HP 200LX.

    • Got its speed and memory drivers working.
    • I’ll be delving into my DOS archives to get at notes and retire that side of things.
  • Earlier I resurrected my Zaurus SL-C1000.

    • Somehow it decided to work again. I need to flash a proper distribution onto it. Like the HP 200LX, I’ll have to dip into deep archives to get at my data.
  • Earlier I resurrected my Pandora.

    • I hadn’t used it in a very long time. It’s still disgustingly slow for something as “simple” as a web browser. I’m going to get it set up to do basic stuff, so I can keep my computer off for longer.
    • It’ll get replaced by a Pyra, but it looks like I won’t be able to afford that any day soon. Perhaps I’ll sell all of my other hardware.
  • CubieTruck will eventually be resurrected, as will my Raspberry Pi if only for a media center or BitTorrent.

The irony of not having an icon.

A pair of semi-friends get entangled in parallel universes.

Mild British humour. Does not have anywhere near the intellectual weight of actual science fiction. Bubblegum British.

Though I watched the entire thing through, I didn’t really like it. Not recommended for anyone who isn’t a serious fan of British humour enough to be okay with a really weak version of it.
