Everything Else / According to the roommate
« on: September 29, 2003, 12:25:59 PM »
...a microwave under the bed is a good idea.
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

Skulking amidst the icy wasteland, swinging a bladed baseball bat, cometh Gemm! And he gives a mighty bellow:
"I'm going to smack you until you taste like chicken, and sever every head in sight!!"
http://bdmonkeys.net/~chaz/battle.php?usrname=Gemm&sex=m
What's your battlecry?!

Office pools, debates, dominatrix's, lower organized social structure.

There will be nothing better.

Everything Else / Has "this" ever happened to you?
« on: September 12, 2003, 09:43:28 PM »
So I'm going through this dating site thingy my friend told me about, since I guess I suck at this whole "find the girl, date the girl" thing. So there I am going through the girls in NY on campushookup.com, and what do I find? None other than the girl I'm working with in PR for the school.
It's really freaky. Now I have no idea how to approach her about this, or if at all I should talk to her about it. Just let it go... augh, this is confusing. Now I'm confusled.!

Everything Else / Camp Fire Tales
« on: September 07, 2003, 07:02:18 PM »
So I've finished some school stuff I had to get done before this. Now I'm going to go through some stuff for this idea that came to me through someone else, I forget who.
We will start the first person this Thursday or Friday, whenever we have the 4-5 people who want to participate announced. They will have till the following Wednesday/Thursday.
The genre will be modern fiction, and the length will be one page(in Word size). If you're going to spin the story around a full 180, then let me know what it is you'll be doing in case its seen as an unnecessary change.
I believe thats it, and have fun with this. Lets not work ourselves into a giant sized pinapple and found out later that that same exact pinapple was actually a box.

Everything Else / Drop the bomb...
« on: September 06, 2003, 12:42:35 AM »
Or how I wanted to start something, but didn't know how to start it.
So I was thinking, lets start a "camp fire tale". We'll get 4-6 people who want to do it, will try their damnedest to get it done in a week, and just have a good old fashioned timey.
I forgot what else I wanted to say, but ya. I think this is a good idea. Lets see how many others are interested.

Could there be anything better than a festival celebrating the unreal heritage of a Viking town? That place seems like fun.

electricity are good. Well I found some rather quirkey shots of before and after.
Before:

After:
http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/nightlights/blackout081503-7hrsafter-text.jpg
Now in the after one, can anyone explain to me what that line running from Maine to Detroit, a little past it. That line isn't putting myself at ease about nothing.

Suggestions Box / Where in the world is Fellfrosch
« on: August 14, 2003, 02:38:14 AM »
Ok, he's gone. Lets do something odd and quirky. I have this idea. A few of us write something stating where we think Fell "went" and we have one person decide where it is he actually "went." So this will actually not have anything to do with where he actually is, but I think it could be something fun. If not, whatever. My ideas will be kept where I keep them. My pda.
