What are you doing looking at penises?

Ahhhh, don't pick on him. He's only looked at one.

Then you never met m(in)e

Do you keep it in the garage?

Actually, SC's right.

200 pages for Random Post Whoring...cheers.

You mean 140 ..

No, no... its definitely 200.

Perhaps some practice in the Numbers thread is needed?

Man, I've seen some atrocities in there and in the alphabet thread. Crimes against humanity.

Wh-EEEEEEEEEAH!

coo-coo-ca-choooo...


Eh?

Oui?

J'ai faim... Pourrais tu m'aider?

You know how I know you're gay ??

Mine says 140,probley cause of my date settings...

Has anyone ever had deep-fried oreos?? OMG!! My daughter made them for us tonight. On one level, I kept telling myself how bad they were for me. On another, I really didn't care!! They're sooooo good!

*eating popcorn* do tell...

I speak the Frenchie-French?

Finally.
I just heard one of the most beautiful songs out there.
It's called "The Blower's Daughter".
The singer is Damien Rice.

This song is just too awesome.
Totally up there with Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" and Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car".

Misery's on AMC! After reading the book, I caught the goodied-up family version on the Family Channel a while back, but I'm assuming this channel doesn't cut anything.

Also, for Ferris Bueller fans, AMC is supposed to play it twice Sunday, the second showing being one of their enhanced versions, where they give fun trivia about the movie. I hope to catch that. A commercial for it just showed that Charlie Sheen apparently stayed awake for 48 hours to get the look for his scene with Jennifer Grey.

Fame, that song was first used and made intolerably popular over here by Mike Nichols' film Closer. I like the song; the whole album's good, actually.

By the way, I've been trying to get back into physical exercise (instead of simply cerebral masturbation all the time) this week, and though my mind seems fine, my body is fucked.

After just one lap round the big lake we have here on campus, I went to bed t'other night and fell into such a deep sleep that I was rather quite delirious, as if I had some sort of fever. I woke up at one point crying because I dreamed that somebody told me all The Sopranos spoilers. Then I woke up later on half-way through falling out of the bed. I have never fallen out of the bed.

He certainly succeeded!

I just watched War Games with Matthew Broderick. It's so much fun to see the old computers that were "state of the art" at the time.

SB,

I haven't seen that in years, but remember enjoying it when it was out.

My daughters and I were just talking about that movie. We are having random "girls day" where we'll go to lunch and lately rent movies (from the 80's mostly) that we watched together when they were younger. Last week it was "Dirty Dancing" and we were talking about renting War Games next. We made the comment about how dated some of the technology must look should we see that movie again.

TIS

It was still a good movie, but seeing them use a phone to plug into the modems and dial in was funny. The funniest part was that Matthew Broderick doesn't look that much older!!

Ha ha. Yea, he has the baby face. I know Matthew Broderick has had a successful run in The Producers, but he will always be Ferris Bueller to me.

Bueller! Bueller! Bueller!

So, I was just reading an article on MSNBC.com and thought this was funny:



Mhmmm.. Suuurrreee he "jumped" off.

Poppycock!

Broke 90 today on my first time out this year!!

No mulligans either, lots and lots of Heineken.

Volare.....oh.....oh

Cantare.....oh.....oh.....oh......oh

Yeah, but that was only after 9 holes!

You mean like a pop-up version of the film? lil windows with info appear on the screen every 2 minutes? if thats what it is, I think its best to just tape it and then fast-forward between the bits of info....cos otherwise its like trying to watch a movie with someone annoying who keeps telling you stuff every 2 minutes...might be interesting stuff indeed, but thats no way to watch a movie

Glad to hear that Capo. What did you think of "Closer"? I've yet to see it, but Mike Nichols is one of my favs. There's a little HBO film he directed called "Wit". Emma Thompson's performance in that film is just as good as any performance by Brando, Pacino or DeNiro. Even better. It is moving; it is brilliant; it's a very sad story; its a very good comedy; it is witty; it is simple; it will make you laugh; it will make you cry; it will make you appreciate films...even more; it will make you appreciate life...even more.

Please watch it. Please.

Capo, I'm not sure how big is that lake, but its totally natural to feel like shit if you've just ran after a long hiatus; it also depends much more on the effort you've put and less on the distance -
I can give you two advices for now until I get more details:

1) Dont stop! You just broke your cherry mate; it's bloody and hard, but next time is bound to be smoother. And more fun.
Really, the body just needs to adjust to your new form of activity. Keep on running, in a few days the feeling would be altogether different. You will feel much more alive than you do right now. Elation is guaranteed. Just give it some time, the rest will follow.

2) Dont run fast! I know you'll be tempted, but forget it! Maintain the same pace from start to finish...especially on the first week. Slow brother. Slow.

I like Closer. It has a ridiculous pessimism to it that I found quite appealing, and it covers expansive temporal ground with conviction and ease simply by not making overt reference to the passing of time. (Compare it to the schematic way Ang Lee treats narrative in Brokeback Mountain, for instance.)
