So, its been raining off and on for the past several days. No big deal. I don’t mind spending time inside. I have lots of things to occupy me. I can read, watch Korean TV, surf the internet, play computer games, and most recently, watch some classic movies.

Entertainment Weekly came out with their picks for the all time best Action-Adventure and Sci-Fi movies and TV shows. Apparently, I’m not the only one who’s read their articles. After searching for some of these classics on the bit-torrent websites, I’ve found a great number of them with multiple people downloading and uploading. So, being the internet pirate that I am, I’ve gotten my share of the great ones.

Some of the more interesting ones include “The Battleship Potemkin,” a 1920s silent film on the Russian revolution from the perspective of the sailors aboard a warship. Heroes (The TV series) is another good one. These just aren’t available at the local Korean video store. I’m pulling down”Gunga Din” and “Pitch Black” at the moment. I never seen either, the latter I’ve never even heard of. One has to act quickly on the internet. As news travels fast, it also fades fast. Wait another few weeks and they’ll all be off the boards and generally unavailable again.

Bit-torrent is awesome. One day, they’ll figure out a way to kill it. In the meantime, I’m taking advantage of a window in time and technology and getting mine. Call me a thief, a pirate – whatever. I’m just enjoying whiling away the time waiting for better weather.

If you don’t know bit-torrent and want the scoop, email me. I’ll fill you in on all the details.
