What's your epic T-shirt?

Pic I took with my BlackBerry. Under the shirt is the jeans I got on clearance for $11, regularly $55.

Random Fact : My wife wears my shirts almost as much as I do and it makes me :D

I love it! Target right?

Random Fact: I will dress my son in Epic T-Shirts that I can't wear ;)

Nope. Kohl's. I got my Pac-Man shirt at Target though that I absolutely love. Have to go back for the Dig Dug shirt though sometime soon.

Random fact : I bought my wife's favorite shirt from Target and told her it was mine when I really intended it to be for her. This way she would feel better about stealing my shirts and she could have one of "my" shirts all to herself. :p

I lol'ed probably too much at the shirt. (In a good appreciative way)

I know I did, I had a total nerdgasm in the middle of Kohl's. I swear if I saw myself I'd a thought I was giggling like a little school girl. :rolleyes:

Well, as long as no one around accused you of being a little school girl, I guess things are still ok :p

ook, to clarify. I knew Anon was joking (waaaay back there a couple days ago about bluerann being hot) It WAS obvioius way before he said it! The way he said it made me ROFL :) pretty sure he was being funny and it worked.

OH WOW. it's 5.

Random Fact: I love my younger sister with all my heart. I miss her.

OH WOW. it's 5.

haha... woops. It's not quite 5 for me, but it's still very late.

haha yea, i know. Even if it is friday night, still too late.

OH WOW. it's 5.

"nerdgasm" LOL

I think I'm about to my breaking point of starting to do a bunch of things along these lines (i.g., confrontation with supervisor, confrontation with professor etc... not necessarily "negative" confrontation, but it'll be uncomfortable for me). Totally out of character for me, but I'm getting close to my limit. Too many things need to desperately be changed, and I'm about to the point that I'm just going to look out for me.


We are excellent agents of change aren't we? I wonder chemical guy, if the world is willing to accept this.

Feel the uncomfortableness man. You may feel very awkward. Just know, that it's not you, but your brain.

I own a shirt that says Sushi is for Lovers, and I don't like sushi.

BUT, my cat's named Sushi, so I say it's her shirt. ;)

Between your and Metz's cruelty, I'm surprised this place can even function. ;)

Evil is its own reward, dontchaknow!

I am coloring 2 dozen eggs for Easter today.I've loved coloring eggs since I was a little girl.

Easter makes me miss my grandmom. She bought us grandkids these chocolate eggs filled with coconut. I loved her.

My body is destroyed to the point that I seem to be a step or two behind everybody and everything today. We can call that a successful week at the gym, can't we? ;)

sometimes i'm an insensitive *******, as i'm sure is no big secret:rolleyes:; sometimes i want to help another by lightening his/her load and am i'm quite literally able to do so. there have also been occasions when a person i love is burdened by so much...suffers so much that's clearly impossible for one person to shoulder alone. i wish that we could divvy it up, at least divide it in half, but if that's out of the question then i'd give anything to just trade places. that's the best description of what powerlessness, impotence, feels like to me, because the circumstances never permit the switch.

it's bull**** that we even have the word (much less entertain as possible this conceptual ideal to fruitlessly strive toward) "fair".

The wife left for her trip to a very messy house and is coming to home to a very clean house. Nothing like a little time alone to help me get housework done.

That has to put her in a good mood.

I want deviled eggs really badly right now.

We just watched Doctor Who and three episodes of Firefly. Nerdgasm part two!

That's a crazy long refractory period.

In fact, according to wiki, that's longer than the average 70 year old man:
According to some studies, 18-year-old males have a refractory period of about 15 minutes, while those in their 70s take about 20 hours, with the average for all men being about a half-hour.

How old are you really metz? You really type fast compared to everyone else near your age. I'm impressed.


On another note, I think I feel a geek out coming on. :-/ It's been one of those days. I might just have to do some shopping later tonight after I finish this outline.

Chem guy, that shirt was JUST THAT EPIC. You don't understand, I had that picture as my background for years and was looking for that pic on a shirt for over a year. The only one I found was in girls sizes so that was a no go, so when I found this it was like King Arthur finding the Holy Grail. The only thing that can out do this is if I have a child.

I am 37. When I first got online back in 96 I was an IRC nerd and was op in many channels. So I would have to juggle DCC Chats and channel chat in order to keep things going. Back in the day also that's where I met a lot of my girlfriends and even where I eventually met my wife. Last time I was timed was 2000ish and I was at 65 WPM and could do over 11K 10-key strokes per hour. I am a lot slower now but that's where I was at, I know people faster and people slower. *shrug*

Oh yeah, I'm so old I learned how to type on a typewriter in HS. In that class I caught a mouse running across a typewriter with my hands (didn't know better at the time) and dropped him outside the window (we were on the 1st floor so he just landed in some grass).

I took my Adderall too late in the day today. :)

I took my Adderall too late in the day today. :)

Me too! Helped my concentrate a lot better at dinner with my wife though, even though the NBA playoffs were on in the background.

I feel the need to come up with a nice signature. Any suggestions?

I typed on a typewriter before I typed on a computer. I also remember when my school got its first "computer lab" for my age group, and I remember my 6th grade teacher being insanely proud and happy that she had an actual computer in her classroom. All of this happened around the Oregon Trail days, Math Blaster, and a few others. My very first computer I had at home (for the family) ran DOS... and then we got a new "fancy" computer a little while after that that did have windows 95.

I don't actually remember the first time I went online, but I do remember my parents were freaked out, and I had to convince them to sign several forms for my school so that I could even use the mysterious "world wide web".

I still remember dialing into something too that had no real graphics or anything, it was a text based turn based game. I wish I could remember what it was. I remember things that happened in the game and everything too... It was some planet acquisition/resource acquisition, attack/defend your resources and try to get others through spying and attacking other people's planets. You got like 5 turns per day, and you could even message other people. It was pretty fun for me at the time.

Quite a bit younger than you, but my students definitely make me feel old. In fact, the last class period, we talked about movies they could remember seeing from their childhood. It was a little painful.

I'm so bad at sigs.

how old are you?

You mean like a BBS? I remember doing that, I also remember when I discovered "slip calling" so I could use the internet in Windows 3.1. Oh man, those were the days, having to type in ATDT(phone#) over and over until I got a connection. Simpler times they were back then.

Also my first computer lab had nothing but Apple IIc and the only thing you could really do is Apple Works I think it was called, a primitive MS Office back then. Monitors also were monochrome in that odd orangey color. I still remember having my entire baseball card collection on a spreadsheet back then, what a waste of time. :p

Random Fact : Before this Forum here, I had never spent more then a day or two on any Forum, anywhere.

I remember my Mom getting our first computer, I think it was a Commodore 64?? I remember her being up for hours on that thing and I thought she was like a mad scientist or something. Looking back what the hell was she doing?? What could you do on computers back then??

The C64 was the best ever! Me and my buddies would trade games whenever we could and each and everyone had a friend or a friend of a friend that had games we've never seen before. Years ago I found a good emulator for games just so I could play Micro League Baseball again and it mimicked the C64 too well, it took a year and a day to load up anything. :p

That sounds exactly like what it was. I remember having to type in phone numbers over and over too.

We also had exclusively apple somethings in there. We did have some monitors that were the whole black background/green text variations. One of the lab teachers actually had one that had burned an image into the screen to illustrate "why it is important for us to use screen savers".

But yeah, I don't remember a ton about all of that, I was still relatively young.

I swear I remember her telling me she could "Talk" to my uncle on it?? Was that possible then? To chat??

how old are you?

Heh, almost exactly in the middle of "mid-20's" ;)

The burning in, I totally forgot about that. I remember the paranoia about that, even on the C64 which I played off of a 19 inch television set. Leave a game on pause and you'll see it forever. :p

I don't see why not, my buddy could do that from C64 unless he was BS'n us. *shrug*

I'm 33 and I was very young when she got it but I remember being fascinated with everything she said she was doing on it. She wasn't the typical Mom back then, she ended up eventually getting into computer programming (not sure if I'm using the right terminology). I guess my Mom was an "OG" Original Geek :p

I hate that I don't trust people.

Heh, almost exactly in the middle of "mid-20's" ;)

Well, since I said "almost", I thought it would imply I wasn't quite there yet...which would eliminate your higher end guess... but, I can see how it'd work for 26 as well. :)

So, is this in reference to this thread this time?

I'm getting super tired now too. I think I'm going to try to sleep. That workout today wore me out I guess.

When hubby and I took the kids to the Smithsonian in DC, we saw an exhibit on the history of computing. Hubby had owned or worked on all but two of the computers in it. We're not even all that old!

OMG, a writer where I'm doing my internship just emailed me back (I told him I enjoyed a piece of his and was wondering what type of article it was). He told me that he admired my work and my determination!!!!!!!!

What a compliment. I am beaming now!

What's all this fuss about, Blue? You seem to be drawing the attention of some of the males in here. As a straight male myself, I demand some smokin' hot pictures of you.

I've gotten in ~3.5 hours of solid study today. I also cooked an amazing fish 'n chips meal, and everything is already cleaned and put away from that. I had to run to the store to get some stuff to make that meal too. Considering I got up at at 12, so far, I feel like it's been a successful day. I'm going to hit the books for a ~2.5 hours more, and then finish the night out grading for an hour or two.

Random Fact: I really like fish, and today was made better because the meal turned out way better than I expected.

Random Fact: I'm watching Step Brothers

Random Fact: I forgot to take my adderall today. My poor mother, She says I'm trying to limits of her patiences with my nonstop talking. I don't think I'm being that bad though, she's just cranky because of this heat.

Why does WV have to be so humid? That's the only thing I miss about my dorm room, no ridiculously powerful Air Conditioner to keep e ice cold.

Instead of coloring easter eggs, my sister gets to color my hair like an easter egg! :D

Speaking of coloring, your picture and the discussion caused by it inspired me to do some coloring a while ago. I forgot to thank you at the time though. It actually turned out really well. So thanks.

i've been more fortunate than i've realized.

I have dropped an absolute ton of money in the last 3 weeks. At some point, I'm going to add it up and figure out how much I've actually spent. For some reason, when it pertains to school/being more productive, I don't care at all. I feel guiltier about dropping $55 (-$20 after a gift card promotion leaving me out $35 total) on Portal 2 than the hundreds and hundreds I've spent on books/supplies/things to help me get organized recently.

I went out with my brother and dad yesterday. My brother is usually late. I know he has ADD. I sat in the car with him as he was struggling to figure out who was sitting where in his car. I actually had compassion for him.

He doesn't know he has ADD. I told him he needs to get tested, but I don't think he will.:(

Aha! It was this thread that I was needing to respond to people...So Offle, if you didn't get my message in the other thread...I'm glad I could inspire you to draw! :D

And I'll post pics of my hair tonight. I did get it finished...It looks about the same as it did before, honestly.

<3

He doesn't know he has ADD. I told him he needs to get tested, but I don't think he will.:(

My brother is the same way, unless something's falling off he won't go see a doctor, let alone for anything mental health related.

I wrapped my daughter up in duct tape today.

Heh... this is pretty much how I am/was. I guess I'm changing a little now... but... I pretty much put things off like this for as long as possible.

So... the fact I went in for help with a mental health related thing... yeah, I was in a bad place in my life. Lol.

I haven't seen a doctor for medical reasons for 14yrs.

Random related fact: I have a constant fear of annoying people. :(

Random Fact: I set lots of goals, and never really complete any of them.

I've begun to appreciate thinking about goals as things that don't have a clear measure or completion (e.g. be an effective communicator) and thinking about objectives as milestones towards reaching a goal that do have a clear measure or can be completed (e.g. improve writing skills) and tasks as the steps to complete objectives (e.g. read "How to Speak and Write Correctly" and write for 20 minutes a day on one pre-selected topic).

My goal oriented behavior is very bad,
I hope objective orientation will help...


I've been practicing telling myself "time waster!" when I find myself wanting to wander off or find myself getting sucked into something that won't produce results I want/need. I'm floored how many little things I do that waste time, and how much time there actually is to actually do things (like more than 3 things in a day without being exhausted). It's weird finding ways to fill up the time... very strange.

I wrote a line on my whiteboard that's across the room but in eyesight from where I look at my monitors. It says "How is what you are doing right now preparing you for your success tomorrow?" I see it, and then feel bad. It might sound lame, but when I realize how much time I'm not actually using to prepare me for tomorrow, it sinks in some.

Tomorrow always feel so far away, so I never prepare for it because I keep persuading myself to just enjoy right now.

You two make me feel lazy and childish.

I'm eating watermelon flavored water ice.

It's raining so much here. My back yard looks like a rice field. :p

That's what it sounds like outside right now. It's cool.

Oh don't worry, it's not like I actually get anything done. I just "try" everything except actually doing what I need to be doing.

I'm the same age as lady gaga. :p

my dearest friend has semi-smuggled his ipod into the hospital and i saw him smile on facetime tonight when i was singing to him. it always amazes me how just a few brief moments can feel so much more significant than all the other hours in the day combined; i'm overjoyed:D

I should really be taking a shower and getting ready for bed right now.

I hadn't been to DQ in years but my sister picked me up on my lunch break and we got blizzards. She usually eats broccoli.. it was totally random and awesome and delicious.

I'm so happy to be on here with so many great people.

I could go for another round of Mario 3 and Zelda. I don't think I'd ever go through either Final Fantasy again. I can't remember what level for Punchout that I made it, but I know I wasn't good at it.

Absolutely. You've got the guitar covered so I'll learn the trumpet or something then. We can figure out the covers, I was thinking maybe Lady Gaga and Katy Perry songs, we just have to convert them over and away we go. :)

I still think Lady Gaga is a bit too out there for me.

I love limes. Not necessarily by themselves...kind of a texture thing, but I love fresh lime squeezed onto certain dishes/into certain drinks. I hated them until college.

I just put Pandora on my iTouch, thinking internet radio would curb my need to buy music.

Within five minuets of listening to Pandora, I heard a song I liked and downloaded it from iTunes.

Whatever. :rolleyes:

Man...the days of DDR. I had DDR Max 2 (oh man, the announcer guy gets stuck in my head everytime! ddr max....2 http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9894/laughp.gif) God, I wanted to beat Afro Nova so bad on Hard.

Then...I ripped the meniscus in my knee in softball...No more DDR. :(

And now...I after having part of my backbone removed, I'll probably never get to play again. Saddest day ever. T_T

Oh jeez... let's not go back down DDR lane. So many hours... haha. Cobalt Flux Pad with Arcade Mod FTW! :o

I've been willing to do laundry for the past few days, but my laundry machine has been acting funny. I'd start a 40 minute wash cycle and approximately 20 minutes later it would stop and indicate an error. I thought it might have been a connection problem with the rubber water pipes, so I moved them around a bit but it didn't really work. I gave up trying to diagnose the problem so I just unplugged it for hours.


I eventually plugged it back in and it started working. So...now I'm trying to catch up on laundry...



oh no...


I hear that annoying beep sound from the laundry machine, again. Why??:confused:

That's unfortunate. I don't need any help/excuses to not do laundry or any other household chore for that matter lol. I'd hear the beeping and just think it was the washer's way of telling me I'm finished for the day/week.

Is there some kind of drainage problem or something?

I started going through Spanish lessons on Rosetta Stone and pulled out my guitar this past week.

I have a degree in Spanish, and I play the guitar, but never felt the urge to play mariachi anything.

I love my tie dye pajama shirt. It's so bright and colorful, so different form the rest of my wardrobe.

Why do I always look different in photographs than I do in the mirror? It's kind of unnerving. I'm not sure if I trust the photos or the mirrors more.

Which one is better? I'd go with that one ;)

Alternatively, if one is not better than the other, I'd go with the photos. Mirrors kind of mess up left and right.

I didn't know you needed that feature livin in the streets of Arizona.:confused::p

Yeah you do, got all the snowbirds and retirees down here that go 5-10 MPH under the speed limit. A good missle or two would at least light a fire under their butts...

Sweet, Bio can play rhythum if you wanna play lead. I can play drums or the harmonica. I must learn the harmonica in case I ever make it on the Craig Ferguson Show

I dislike Apple for blocking programs like grooveshark...

One of these days I need to remember that I need to hack my phone [it's MINE].

Drums and harmonica!!! Do it...!!! I have a couple harmonicas, want one?

I refuse to let graduate school defeat me. I'm either going to make it through this somehow, or go down in a huge fiery ball of effort. Either way, I think I'll be better for it.

I just put Pandora on my iTouch, thinking internet radio would curb my need to buy music.
Within five minuets of listening to Pandora, I heard a song I liked and downloaded it from iTunes.

And I just did it again.

I love it when I make spelling and grammar errors that completely change the meaning of what I was saying. Especially when I do it with big homework assignments so my whole response becomes wrong.

Absolutley. Now to find a youtube video showing me how to play it.

I love music but can't carry a tune or play an instrument.I would love to learn how to play guitar.

I just looked up grooveshark on account of Biophelia.

I think I might have finally gotten a "workout routine" started. It's not anything to be overly proud of, but I have so much stress building up, I haven't been sleeping etc. So over the last 3 days, playing a stupid PS3 Move game, I've done the equivalent calorie-wise of running 11 miles in about 2.5 hours of total playing time. That part I feel good about. I just wish I could actually "work out" for working out's sake... not because I require a fun game, as well as getting to the point where stress is destroying me.

Yeah you do, got all the snowbirds and retirees down here that go 5-10 MPH under the speed limit. A good missle or two would at least light a fire under their butts...

I like how you think.

RF: I miss someone.

I love Pixy stix.

When I was in 3rd grade I read the book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe twice (once with my mom and once in school) and saw the play The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe twice (once with my mom, once on a school field trip). This was the year that I was obsessed with Turkish delight, since one of the characters in that book loves Turkish delight and will do anything for it. I had never heard of it or had it before, and it seemed like this magical delicious foreign food that was like the best thing in the world. Finally my mom gave in and found me some Turkish delight, and even though it wasn't totally marvelous, I still love it just because of the magic of it all.

Yeah, but what a show!

I love it so much I bought a gallon of plain vanilla ice cream and a bottle of chocolate syrup the other day.

If I was lucky I could take out a McDonalds, that'd be a show.

My dog's name is "Pixie"!

Intro:
I did not realize I was nearly out of milk, and I really want cheerios in the morning, so I'm making a trip to the grocery store at 11:47.

As I've said before, I work with Russians.


Random Facts:
I love making trips this late at night. It's so peaceful compared to the day.

I'm starting to always hear my inner voice saying Russian curse words. They have a fun sounds to them, but they are starting to happen in times where my use would match a Russian's use of the word. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

You all have to go see Water for Elephants. It's a really good movie. (that's an understatement).

Random Fact: I hate essay tests. They make my hands hurt.

I just checked a list of things to do I made recently, and on it I had at the very end "Go OHSAHDFOSHAOSDJKJL!!!" It made me feel better, as now that my stress is going super high, I can still check something off my to do list by just spazzing out.

Do you ever hit an apathy point with your stress? Like do you ever reach the point where you get so stressed that you just stop caring about the things stressing you out?

I've had Chinese for lunch two days in a row, and for supper the day before. Not usually a fan, but I found a local place that makes it way better than most buffets.

I had a lovely day in the garden.It was in the 70's with a nice breeze blowing.I was busy digging up plants & moving them to different areas in the gardens.I also pruned all my roses.My back is killing me but my mind is content.

Do you ever hit an apathy point with your stress? Like do you ever reach the point where you get so stressed that you just stop caring about the things stressing you out?

When it comes to school/education with the subject matters I care about...I don't think I've ever hit that point. With other things, definitely, and with classes that I saw virtually 0 value in, yes I have.

I tried super hard today to get my students to finish earlier than normal so I could study more. All but 3 were finished over an hour earlier than normal. The other 3 left at the regular time.

i think i could be a unicorn
Me too. Screw this stupid "human" crap. Let's just go be crazy happy unicorns together. I'll meet you at Candy Mountain. Bye, everyone. It's been nice, but my time with humans is over. I'm off to be with my true people, the tribe of Pansy Rainbow Sparkles. Adieu!

My sister has the most exotic dog ever--

He is part miniature poodle (like a circus poodle), pekinese, collie, chihuahua, and miniature italian greyhound.

He came from St. Croix, There are more dogs than people there so a program has started to ship them into Animal Shelters in the US. Traveller's can pay for a dog's flight to the US through this program. My sister found him at the animal shelter in Charlotte.

He's smart, quirky, awkward, funny, emotional, tuned in, and very cuddly

He sometimes looks like a fox and a cat. My oldest brother calls him "deer-fairy"

I prefer dogs to other domestic animal at the moment but wouldn't mind having a pet turtle as long as it could take care of itself.

I might be able to get an internship writing news for NBC at my local network!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D

I hate listening to myself on my voice recorder.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I wouldn't mind having a pet turtle myself. Especially a baby turtle. :D:D They seem like low-maintenance pets, from what I've read about them. :)

I also want a rat. :p

I have a pet turtle. His name was Sam, but I renamed him Hamburger, because you can hold him like one.

They do not take care of themselves, but they are pretty low maintence, and have the ability to outlive their owners (90-year lifespan)!

I feel 99.99% defeated. Can you recover from that?

Sure. Take the .01% and just run with that.

I want a tarantula but the wife has already nixed that idea a couple times. Something about living where they live and not knowing which is devenomized and which isn't. Whatever, said the same thing about getting a Boa Constrictor, like they're going to be roaming loose in the middle of Wisconsin. :rolleyes:

Rats I would say no to, if you have a chance watch the Animal Hoarding episode where a guy got a couple rats, they got out one day and he ended up with over 2000 of them. Ate up everything.

Turtles are so cool plus I'd love the chance to go around and say "I love turtles" to people at random. Just to whip out my wallet like people do with baby pictures just to show them a turtle.

I've had aquatic frogs before, those were cool. It was up in Wisconsin so my greatest fun was waiting for a rain storm then going out to collect night crawlers. Throw those into the tank, watch them (Drew and Kate) suck up the worms and jam them back in with their front flippers. Really really cool stuff.

Rats are actually awesome pets!

RF: When I was between the ages of 12-14 I owned 4 cats, 2 dogs, 1 bird, and 7 rats.... Oh, and a dozen gold fish.... I had a basement bedroom and my window let out right to the dog run so, if I ever couldnt sleep I would take my sleeping bag and crawl out my window and sleep with the dogs.

Yes, my parents were insane to allow all those pets but, they were my best friends.... I was such a weird child!!!!

Rats, ick. Then again you had a bird also and I'm not a bird person either. I guess to each their own. :p

You could've hung with the goldfish so when asked where you were could've said "I'm sleeping with the fishes" in a nice mafia/Jersey accent.

Random Fact : I seem to be all about the bad puns today, which means today should be a good day. Oh yeah, it's FRIDAY and as the next Britney would say, Time to Party! :D

I think that NJ accent is THE sexiest, most awesomely wonderful thing Ive ever heard!!!!!!!!!

Domesticated rats are actually more friendly than hamsters and rabbits I hear. :) Ironically, people are more likely to allow their children to play with hamsters (which can be mean and nasty at times) than rats (who are gentle and more sociable and easy to train to do cute things like ride on your shoulder.) All because of looks. :p It's no fair I tell ya, hehe.

RF: I'm wearing PJ bottoms right now cause all my normal pants are in the laundry. :o

It's funny, mine is long gone but I had one for a while. Thanks to stuttering therapy and the fact that I've slowed down my speech a lot it took my accent with it. Now I sound more like a midwesterner, which is a good thing I thinks. :)

I've been up since 3:30am.I got up to watch the Royal wedding on TV.I'm really tired right now but don't dare go to sleep yet, because I won't be able to sleep later.

Is in SC having a grand old time:D Not looking forward to the drive back or work:( off 1 week and I feel LIKE I NEVER HAVE WORKED Before its just sooooo sweet.Also got my quad stuck 2 times at CAW and had to walk out 2 miles and get a tow because I forget my cellphone in my truck.

Tonight was great. I saw my little brother at his play. We hung out for a little, and I drove him home. His mom wanted me to take a picture with him. I think it made his night.

I heard probably the greatest piece of advice today, one I'm going to use in my upcoming assessment of things.

"If it isn't fun or educational, you can probably live without it"

The bird in the tree next to my window sounds a lot like an old radio seeking different frequencies...I think the CIA is watching me.

Wait, no, I'm Canadian. Just CSIS then.

I haven't gone out of the house all day. Sometimes houses feel like cages.

In only 4 more days, I will have an article published for Mother's Day.

I have been eaten up alive by the bugs outside.Ugh!

I swear my vision is getting worse. I keep having to move closer to the laptop to see the screen properly.

Right now I'm at the movies by my self because I'm cool like that! Going to watch Limitless. Stay tuned for my review!

I know you'll love it.

I'd really like to see that movie too. But, since I don't really go to theaters... no spoilers until after it's been released on blu-ray! ;)


I swear my vision is getting worse. I keep having to move closer to the laptop to see the screen properly.

Mine too. I really need to get my vision checked. It's been like 3 years lol. I took my glasses off in class the other day and realized I couldn't read anything on the board at all... and I sit in the 2nd row. When I first got glasses (3 years ago), I could still read the board fine, it was just not crisp. :(

I'd really like to see that movie too. But, since I don't really go to theaters... no spoilers until after it's been released on blu-ray! ;)

Chem dude, it's practically epic. I know you'll appreciate it.;)

I bet you are correct honestly. It seems like a movie I'd like.

Personally, I'm waiting to see Rio. I just love cute lame animated movies. And cute good animated movies. Really, any cute animated movie will do.

All Im going to say about Limitless is, say NO to drugs, its all fun and games until someone gets their eye poked out. And, come-down is a B****!

:) I will let the movie come see me. Although, I guess going to the movie theater medicated might be an interesting "test" experience for a before/after comparison. I still don't like loudness though.

woops... wrong thread.

I saw limitless, and I would have taken the risk. Blueranne's posts surpirse me sometimes.;)

We saw the King's Speech last night (borrowed the DVD from someone). I had read the script online after the Oscars, but the script which I read was not the shooting script. I was a little disappointed that they had cut a few scenes I'd wanted to see.

I virtually view movies. I read the script, get the IMDB synopsis, look at the movie stills, read the quotes, etc. If I still want to see it after that, then we try to see it when we're in the UK or US.

There are also movies I deliberately did not want to see, but wanted to "virtually view" in that way, like The Butterflly Effect, Fight Club, and Blade Runner. I didn't want the images burned in my memory, but I wanted to know what happened.

You've never seen Blade Runner or Fight Club?! :eek:

Why in god's name would you want to spoil stories like that? I can't imagine having the big reveals in movies like The Empire Strikes Back or Dark City (or Fight Club of all films) revealed before I saw them!

:(

Working on Radicals and s***.

Wow. It's hard to handle the feelings associated with not having someone in your life without a week.

I love it. Osama Bin Laden is for real dead. God bless the families of the fallen on 9/11/01. May the feel a smidgen of comfort for the horrid acts of this man.

Nice try, I already tested that one out :D

Im going to bed now... I sure hope I feel better tomorrow. Peace out!

This is the earliest I have gone to bed in the last 4 week.

I got 7.8 hours of sleep! I think I've shocked myself at that one. Perhaps I should try that again tonight. Granted, I can get lots of sleep on the weekend, but I got up at a reasonable time today. I usually have to sleep until noon at least if I want ~8 hours.

So, the day has had a little hiccup for me. My tutoring session was canceled, because I missed too many appointments (I think 3). You get locked out for the semester when this happens.

I persuaded the guy to let me back in, and I don't even know why I did it. I'm very persuasive, but I think I did it because I was being defensive. It's one of those unfair things that you gotta deal with in life.

One thing that goes wrong, can throw off my equilibrium.

I made it a point this weekend to avoid my distractions and check things off my ever growing Honey Do list and it worked fantastically. A lot was done but it seems now I have to add a little more to it, as I have plumbing work and automotive work to do this coming weekend. It never ends....

Oh yeah, I am also 30% through reading my first book in over 10 yrs. The book was a recommendation from the fletcherface herself and so far it's been pretty good. :D

Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. Ya'll have probably read that 10 times over but in my life I've only been able to sit and read one book so this is exciting to me. :D

I absolutely love that book and all of Douglas Adams works, hope you like it.

I absolutely love that book and all of Douglas Adams works, hope you like it.

I love it so far, going to try and knock out a chapter or two everyday. It's nice and easy having the Kindle now as the book isn't so dang heavy and way easy on my eyes.

Great series. I have the first edition Complete Hitchhiker Bible, which to my amusement, people often believe is an actual bible when I carry/read it. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is my favorite out of those books.

I particularly love Adams's views on politicians and bureaucrats. :D

Metz, don't watch the movie until you've finished Restaurant. It takes mostly from the first book, but also a little from the second. There is also an 80's BBC miniseries that has a much smaller budget than the film, but captures the books a lot better than the newer, snazzyer movie does. The movie is well casted though, and still a lot of fun.

In only 4 more days, I will have an article published for Mother's Day.


Ok. Correction. My article will be run tomorrow in the Relationship section of the paper. They keep on changing their minds.:)

I am reading Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult & it is a very good book so far.She is a very popular fiction author, who has written a lot of books.

I like Terry Pratchett's books more than Douglas's, but I think that's because I've always been more into fantasy than Scifi. I love the Discworld series. :D

Never read Pratchett. :confused:

Right now I am reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It's a book that was forced on me as a child by my teachers, and I am only now truly able to appreciate. What a great read!

Edit - Offle, I just put a hold on The Colour of Magic at my local library. Is that a good place to start?

You can start any where you want. I like the Sam Vimes books the best, which start with Gaurds Guards. The best one, IMHO though, is Nightwatch.

Discworld is one of those series where there is no over all plot, even the series that are about the same character. So you can start anywhere and you should have no problem understanding everything that's going on in that book. The plot of each book ends with the last page and doesn't carry over much at all to the next book other than possibly a mention of a previous event or character.

Sorry if my explanation is really bad. My braid is fried from studying.

Random Fact: I feel bad for John Hus. Almost all the pictures drawn or painted of him are depictions of him being burned for heresy. For some reason that made me feel really bad for him. I think I'm going to draw a picture of him reading or something, just one will exist that isn't dedicated to him being killed.

Indeed. :D
