Well, I was going to, but then I thought, ""I wouldn't be posting while I read his post, I would be reading.  And "in this moment" naturally infers the moment of those thoughts communicated, so technically SE was reading not posting.  Haha. :P

Just got back from yet another huge choir concert. I'm pretty much choired out. I've been trying to quit the Institute choir since before Easter, but have been guilted into (and yes, I know I'm complicit in it) another concert, then another.  ::) Finally, it's done. And if they start saying, "Just one more!" I won't go, I tell you! I won't go!

However, a cute boy did talk to me after the concert. Was it worth it? Hmm. Have to think about that one.

actually, know, posting to the message board was the correct answer. See, I CAN multitask, and I have several windows open. Plus, part of posting is reading so you know what to respond to. And I wasn't doing anything but checking up on the message board

So ....
Posting to the TWG message board. Again.

Watching the new TV movie of "A Wrinkle in Time".


Good so far.  Of course I'm not biased at all by the fact that Gregory Smith is playing Calvin and the cute kid from The Ring is playing Charles Wallace.

Hey, I'm warching "A Wrinkle in Time" too. Except the power went out for a while so I missed some. I'm also reading Cross-gen's "Mystic." And unconsciously trying to hang myself with a power cord.
Title: Re: whatcha doin
Post by: fuzzyoctopus on May 11, 2004, 12:04:43 AM
At least you're doing it unconsciously.

I'm having serious issues with the liberties they're taking with the script of Wrinkle in Time though.  Part of it is I hate it when a book written in the 60's gets updated to "2004."

I also saw the wrinkle in time movie last night...but fell asleep before the end, my codine kicked in....
although I never heard mention of a black lady as misses whatsit, she was supposed to be a weird lady with big glasses who wore allkinds of extra layers
Title: Re: whatcha doin
Post by: stacer on May 11, 2004, 01:07:34 PM
I don't think the description necessarily ruled out a black woman. It all depends on how you see it in your imagination, I suppose.

Or was it an African American woman who didn't have big glasses and weird clothes?
Title: Re: whatcha doin
Post by: House of Mustard on May 11, 2004, 01:35:36 PM
No, she had all the layers, but it was Mrs. Who who had the glasses.

I thought it was way too bad-fx for me.  The setting itself is a little to abstract for me, and having the characters constantly in front of blue screens pretty much ruined the show.

Hint for the future - if you're choking on something, try maybe calling for help in the real world, where someone can actually help you maybe, instead of tellling people from around the world about it. Unless, y'know, you fancy choking to death or something.

taking it out of my throat nah I'm good...
and I wasnt choking just temporarily unable to breathe...

That's what choking means, Unless I'm mistaken...
Title: Re: whatcha doin
Post by: Maxwell on May 18, 2004, 05:01:04 AM
no choking is having sometyhing obstruct your breathing and not eing able to get it out(it also involves muscle spasms in your throat)
I merely had an...object...obstructing my breathing, I was perfeclty able to get rid if it, I chose not to.

how did you connect snogging to natural selection?
Title: Re: whatcha doin
Post by: JP Dogberry on May 18, 2004, 05:31:13 AM
Person A requires Oxygen to live.
Person A has object preventing him/her from breathing.
Person A requires breathing action to gain oxygen.
Therefore, Person A requires breathing to live.
Therefore, Person A requires removal of aformentioned blocking object to live.

Person A chooses not to remove object.

Person A dies.

Person A does not reproduce and pass on genes, thus strengthening the human race, as genes creating people who allow themselves to die when it could be avoided are not passed on.

She's now moved beyond the booty shaking contest, her ADHD doesn't allow for intense competition. She's now trying to get into my backpack in hope of getting more sugar, and having a staring contest with a shoe.

Well at least you don't want to have your feet amputated. Me on the other hand, I do. Stacking boxes filled with 48 4 ounced cups of yogurt for 8 hours a day seems easy, but not on the feet. And don't worry, those sole pad things by the infamous Dr. Scholl don't help. Ok, maybe for the first 10-15 minutes they're on, but not too much more. But yeah, its a job and the people there are mostly nice. It's a Dairy Plant. My dad used to work there, for something like 13 or so years. About 4-5 years ago he was offered a job elsewhere at a different dairy plant, Rich's. One more day, then the weekend is mine... until Monday.

maybe I'll check into that on sunday.
