Read a lot of good things about House of Cards, really wish I had Netflix.

I love it, and I feel it's worth the $8 ... that my mom is paying and letting me use. 

I got Netflix but I'm having trouble finding the time to use it. I have this disc sitting here now for almost two weeks unwatched. Between writing and gaming, I just can't seem to get to it. I may cancel. But then again... so much stuff I want to see.

I only have streaming, not the discs, but sometimes I wonder if I want to get the discs too, so I can have new stuff; then I remember I could just walk to Red Box. Of course, I do miss out on their bigger library for older movies. 

I need to check out House of Cards. It sounds like it would be a good replacement for the one political show I loved (Boss) but got cancelled. 

I never heard of Boss, that's too bad.

Oh Boss was a Starz show, which is probably why it didn't do too well. It starred Kelsey Grammar as the Mayor of Chicago and it dealt with how dirty politics is. It lasted only two seasons but I liked it. 

Sounds like Kevin Spacey in HoC is Grammar from Boss ... now I think I remember hearing of that show. Wasn't he supposed to win an Emmy for that one, and said he got screwed cause of his conservatism?

Yup. Sad because he did such a good job. I think it would be on the air still if it were on HBO, Showtime, or even Netflix, seeing how big House of Cards is. 

Thank you for reminding me why I dropped out of that class when I was in college.

I need to watch House of Cards. I have it saved on my account but just not got around to it yet. Plus The Clone Wars enticed me.

I need to watch the rest of the House of Cards season two. 

You took a graduate media research class in college?

that along with a handful of other courses ranging from medicine to engineering to basic computer language to even some police/political sceince among other things. It was during my young time when I didn't know what I wanted to do so I took a stab at anything I could. I learned much but didn't get anything to show for it besides massive student loan debt.

Media research was one of the two grad courses I was able to take with my credientals. The other was psychology. I even tried my hand at biblical studies but had a hard time with the New King James. Jack of all trades and master of none can a apply to alot. Sadly I've forgotten most of it thanks in part to the lifestyle ideas I got from the fictiicious Sherlock Holmes. 

The New King James? Is that different from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, or just a different name for the same version? Is it like a mix of the KJV and the New International Version (NIV)? The one I have is The Catholic Good News Bible w/ Apocrypha, I think. I think if I go to biblegateway.com, I usually go with NIV. I'm guessing it's the "Old English-y" language that gave you a problem with the KJV?

the NKJV is suppose to be more refined translation of the KJV that keeps with that translation but at the same time is a bit more understanable to read in english. I'm not sure if it was meant to go toe to toe with the NIV version but perosnally I never noticed much of a difference between the NKJV and the NIV, I still couldn't understand either of them.

I'm a New Century Version person myself, I got it as a gift from a female classmate in highschool that noticed I was struggling with the word. I don't see the NCV version anymore (my copy is weathered and dogged-eared) but I liked that version best because it actually was translated in STRAIGHT ENGLISH. Aside from "omitting" the holy trinity, the NCV hasn't failed me yet.

You are right that the Old English is what threw me. try as I might I just coun't understand it. It realy sucked too when I was forced to memorize verses and those words wouldn't stick. It's one of the reasons why i dropped out of the biblical classes when it was expected of us to comprehend the KJV, which was understandable.
