Confessions: And this time it's personal

No. Just because I own an iPhone, that isn't going to mean that I become addicted to it. To be honest, I only went ahead with it because I've resigned myself to the inevitability that they will never again make a phone for which sending and receiving phone calls is a primary function. Instant vocal communication is too primitive for people.

Okay, I've done that. Using a computer is still my preferred method though.

If I'm not in front of a computer (like right now, chilling on the couch) then its the next best way.

I can't watch pre-school kids' show Justin's House without yearning - yearning - for him to finish off the theme song's last line 'Everybody's welcome in Justin's House' with 'except Jews!' in his big, plummy voice.

And I'm not an anti-semite. 'Whitey' or similar would please me just as well.

Confession: I like the way the Waze turns into a little like Pac-Man when you're driving on secondary and tertiary roads. Really could use some scared ghosts to complete the game.

Confession: the final bit of the final episode of season 5 of "The Office" gets me legitimately misty eyed every time.

Confession: I was disappointed to discover that the TV series "The Inbetweeners" was not was about making animation. An inbetweener is someone who draws transition frames between two "key" frames (the frames drawn by a good animator that form the major points of an action) to make the animation smoother in case you didn't know.

The Inbetweeners was great. I can't see a show about the slow and torturous process on transitional framing being funny at all.

Nope, inbetweener

I guess it would depend on how it's written. There's been lots of comedies about people with less-glamorous jobs.

Then I'd say that the show wouldn't be about making animation but rather about the people who do it.
Roy and Moss very rarely actually fixed a PC beyond satirising how easy it is. Sam spent more time fixing his hair than pouring beers.

I get what you're saying though. I thought you were looking for a documentary-type program about animation.
C'mon, it's you.

I guess people skip from 8 to 13 in Australia.

Ah well, there's always the two Animation Runner Kuromi-chan movies. Plus, they're animated. They're animated movies about animation, I think Xzibit might have had something to do with them.
