kachina008 said on November 28, 2003 21:26:
rite on.
altho’, are you really a “magnificent bastard” ?
Denstandigaresan said on November 29, 2003 00:27:
I really can say i’ve never found anyone as witty as MM... To quote Crush(Finding Nemo) YOU TOTALLY ROCK... DOOOOOOD! ;)
MiracleMan said on November 29, 2003 02:04:
Well it’s about damn time!
Oh, sorry! *searches for humility and graciousness. . . found it!*
Golly, I’m so tickled I think I may vomit.
Actually I have laughed so hard I’ve vomited. And on the way to the toilet I broke my toe on the door jamb, so that between spewing and laughing, I was groaning in agony. An interesting triad of emotional and physical pain. I recommend it highly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. :D Thought I’d have to be here for donkey’s years before I saw this happen. Now I feel like I’M the prettiest one in TDR. ;)
*I’ve now shouted “I GOT MY OWN THREAD” so many times and so loudly, the neighbors called to congratulate me. And threatened to call the police if I don’t quit.
Needless to say, I feel honored.
Anarem said on November 29, 2003 02:11:
Isn’t that what Apu called Homer in an episode of the Simpsons? :-)
MiracleMan said on November 29, 2003 02:15:
Maybe, but that’s not–HEY! The elephant got his pilot’s license! And without opposable thumbs. Props, my pachyderm. *flashes home-boy gang gesture out the window*
*edited for spelling. Twice. Damn it.
LaMan said on November 29, 2003 09:53:
who are you MM? How old are you may I ask? Are you a fan since Joyride? I like your humor.
MiracleMan said on November 29, 2003 18:59:
I’m old enough to know better, and young enough not to give a sh*t.
And I’ve been a fan since Look Sharp! was released. So that makes me *gets out a calculator*. . .carry the 4. . .times the square root of 5,882. . . well that can’t be right.
Anybody know how to use a slide-ruler?
MiracleMan said on November 29, 2003 19:29:
NOW I feel really old. Thanks Zaine. :s
Appearently it’s a now antiquated measuring device that no one’s heard of. I think engineers use it—not the train drivers—but the folks that construct buildings and the like.
beautyqueen said on November 29, 2003 20:34:
Hey Miracle Maan... I think we have a lot in common... ;) *wink wink*
Lovely Lily
Denstandigaresan said on November 29, 2003 20:43:
Can I start a MM fanclub? I’m in fits of laughter here! Not a lot gets my fancy tickled. ;)
LittleSpooky said on November 29, 2003 21:01:
*gets out the slide ruler and does the calculations*
Lessee.... you been a fan since Dawn cracked over Time and our ancestors crawled out of the primordial ooze.
In other words, you been a fan for about: 14 or 15 years now.
kachina008 said on November 29, 2003 22:04:
lot in common: beautyqueen and MM both have slide rulers?
seems like you might have an admirer there miracleman, you magnificent bastard.
MiracleMan said on November 30, 2003 17:28:
Spooky—I knew SOMEONE would know what that was! I’d’ve referenced that Foghorn Leghorn with the widow’s son—the one where they play hide and seek. . .but I’m not sure that would have made a difference.
And from 89-now. About 14 years. Sounds about right. When I tried it I think I forgot to divide by the Renaissance and add .005 for the Reformation. How could I have forgotten Martin Luther? I babysat his kids.
And I DO have a “slide ruler”, and the rumor is that beautyqueen has a “slide ruler”. . .*wink wink*
Markuz said on December 1, 2003 13:45:
@MiracleMan: Do you have MSN? Mine is in my profile.
I think we have the same sense of humor... before I started being too sarcastic for this board, that is >;)
*edited to change some stuff i didn’t... whatever*
LittleSpooky said on December 1, 2003 16:40:
Yes... I’m likin Foghorn....
Now, hold on... I said... Hold on a minute there son.
MiracleMan said on December 1, 2003 18:09:
Yeah, it’s a slide rule. . .why do you ask?
And I’m always happy to see you, my dear.
zaine said on December 1, 2003 19:02:
LOL
by the way, why are you known as the magnificent bastard?! what did I miss there?!
MiracleMan said on December 1, 2003 23:23:
Sometimes I’m magnificent, sometimes I’m just a bastard.
Zaine—check my stats to see where the mag bast comes from.
Anarem said on December 2, 2003 02:42:
The most entertaining conversations I’ve ever had have been with bastards– both male and female. Yee hah!
Majdy said on December 2, 2003 05:51:
just checking to see how many of you has sign up for MM fans club :)
LittleSpooky said on December 2, 2003 06:25:
btw, dates me just a little if I knew what a slide-ruler is, yes?
zaine said on December 2, 2003 14:51:
does anyone have any posters for the MM fanclub? to buy or trade?
MiracleMan said on December 2, 2003 23:55:
Just trying to drive the price up since workin’ the street corner hasn’t netted me much so far. . .
Maybe it’s the location.
*note to self—try busier thoroughfare, no more dead end streets*
*and try new outfit—tube top and tutu combo seems to more offputting than alluring*
Vixzter said on December 3, 2003 18:37:
You know what will happen now I’ve arrived late....no one else will post ’cept me and you MM ;) and then we can have 2 topics going just to piss everyone off ;)
MiracleMan said on December 3, 2003 18:46:
*Attempting to get an Oscar for nomination Most Surprised in a lead thread*
VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX!!!!!!! I was wondering when you’d stop by and it seems you finally made it all on your own!
*Aaaaaaaaaaand Scene!*
Yeah, well, if nobody wants to post, then I’ll keep it going by myself. Cuz it’s MY damn thread! *territorially peeing in the corner*
And if no one comes in anymore, we can talk about all the really bad stuff that gets other threads archived. (Archivement is my next goal. I really wanna be archived someday. It looks fun.)
Glad you made it.
*looking for something to mop up the pee*
MiracleMan said on December 4, 2003 14:29:
TISSUES!? TISSUES!? You don’t bring a butterknife to a swordfight, woman!
Oh—wait. That did it. Anybody got any Fabreeze?
LittleSpooky said on December 5, 2003 03:21:
*slides the Fabreeze across the floor*
I’d participate, but you know anything I say just gets tossed by the wayside... so....
ROXIEBABY16 said on December 5, 2003 03:41:
*steps aside to avoid the territorial male peeing session and febreeze...* uhmm did i come at a bad time?? *giggles* hey MM bout high time you gots yourself your own thread...and BQ unless you have a penis i don’t see how you could possibly have anything in common with any male in here...and unless you look a lot less like you got hit by a westbound truck (to borrow from Per) and act a lot less like a total moron with their ego up their a** then you have nothing in common with anyone in here.....
*~Babie~*
*~ walking like a man,

*evil grin* please don’t pee on this portion of the thread.....
MiracleMan said on December 5, 2003 18:40:
Or to be mre precise:
*~swayin’ to the band,
moving like a hammer,
[he’s] a Miracle Man,
loving is the ocean,

But it’s all true: Gritty kissing, hammerblows, and oxygen depriving—that’d be me all over.
Hmmmmmmm. . . with all this sand it looks like a cat box. . .
MiracleMan said on December 5, 2003 18:42:
Spooky—Thanks for the Fabreeze. It smells like a fresh April morning in here now. Could’ve used that slide ruler to measure the size of the puddle. . .
DaminehGessle said on December 6, 2003 09:33:
I never liked Hey this Hey that but tonight as I am not very ready for my final exam which is taking place at 9:00am on Saturday morning, I decided to check this out as I like MM’s sense of humour alot. Very different you are I should say.
As for slide ruler, I believe slide ruler is one of the most useful tools in drafting. These days, drafting is done not by hand, but on the computer which is much more accurate. Slider rulers rock though. I have one and so many people have begged me to sell it heehee. I don’t think I am that old either.
MiracleMan said on December 6, 2003 16:37:
I think I’m finally waking up. I turned the TV on and left the chanel on SpiceWorld. It’s finally dawning (no pun intended) on me that I’ve been watching SpiceWorld. But now I can’t find the remote. This is not good.
Damineh—Now that you mention it, my father taught Design Drafting for many many many years. I think I’ve actually played with one of those. It’s been years.
And for Pete’s sake, would someone change the chanel.
DaminehGessle said on December 7, 2003 02:30:
what Pete? Sampras? That’s the only Pete I’ve come to known in my life... an interesting journey wow.
Yeah I have played around with many drafting tools in my life. I was always so interested in them weehee. Although I don’t think I am your dad’s age :>
MiracleMan said on December 8, 2003 18:23:
Ola, Jorge! Or is it Hej?
Just one question: why is your Spanish so good?
El Bastardo Magnifico de Gringolandia
Nox1983 said on December 8, 2003 19:36:
I told you it was a secret...
“WAS”....but it´s ok...hehehe...
I think i speak better spanish than swedish becouse i was born in Neverland....close to Gringolandia :D
btw ola is hola :D
MiracleMan said on December 9, 2003 00:10:
Surprise! My Spanish sucks! Mostly ’cuz I was born in Gringlolandia and took French in school.
Moi, j’ai besoin le singe rouge en la voiture, maintenant.
(Jeez—it’s been too long since I had French.) Zut.
Nox1983 said on December 9, 2003 10:10:
MM:
Now I need the red monkey in the car ?????
wich monkey? wich car?
Today my day has been sad...wondering myself why i speak Gringish better than spanish....
by the way, i didn´t know, that people from US speak french better than english... plop!
Does MM speak french better than english?
MiracleMan said on December 9, 2003 18:47:
PLOP! :)
A lot of Americans can barely speak English most of the time, so French would be like asking for the moon.
@Anarem—I don’t understand Canadian French.
Anarem said on December 10, 2003 11:32:
Hey, that’s exactly what this snooty waiter told me when I was in a cafe in Paris... Texas.
ally77 said on December 12, 2003 20:30:
Hello MM, how you doin? Alfie says “Hej”.. yep he’s speaking Swedish what a clever doggy..
MiracleMan said on December 13, 2003 04:20:
Hej til Alfie. Meine katzen ist sprechen mit der Duetches, which isn’t great.
I’m doing well, although I’m using a friend’s PC at the moment and hating it with the white hot passions of a thousand suns. Well, maybe not that much. More like the scar searing end of a lit cigarette. But my friend is moving to Texas, so I thought I migt as well motor over for a little visit.
So, I’ll see y’all when I get back to a NORMAL computer in a few days.
MiracleMan said on December 14, 2003 17:42:
No homepage, oh Stormy one, but I gots me some homeboyz.
DaminehGessle said on December 15, 2003 05:31:
I don’t think I made much sense, did I? I meant where you born in the US or did you move from somewhere else?
DaminehGessle said on December 15, 2003 05:33:
Anarem,
How old are you???
Would you be coming to Vancouver or Victoria any time?
MiracleMan said on December 15, 2003 18:46:
I was born and bred in Hannibal, Missouri, boyhood home of Mark Twain. And no, there’s no cannibalism there. At least not since I left. (Gee, I hope the Feds aren’t reading this. . .)
DaminehGessle said on December 16, 2003 06:25:
YOu are just a very cool person. You are very open-minded. I never want to generalize Americans really as I worked down in California and have many American friends. But you are just very different. GReat sense of humour man. Missouri raises cool people eh :D.
DaminehGessle said on December 17, 2003 04:07:
what do you mean?
I wasn’t born and raised in Canada though. I am a Canadian citizen only.
Anarem said on December 17, 2003 11:45:
@Damineh: I’m 102, and I don’t like going out to the West Coast because I tend to pass out from all the pot smoke there.
MiracleMan said on December 23, 2003 07:25:
Hey! I happened to notice this thread is drifting toward the bottom. Let’s not let this happen again.
DaminehGessle said on December 23, 2003 19:27:
haha what do you mean bottom??
Anarem eh??!? Not everyone smokes pot in here :). And 102 would be your age eh? Wow... what is your secret?
MiracleMan said on December 24, 2003 15:13:
Den—I’m feeling under the weather and want all the attention I can get from people who aren’t trying NOT to catch what I’ve got. Did that even make sense? I can’t tell. These drugs aren’t the best, but they. . .zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
kachina008 said on December 24, 2003 15:18:
im sick too im sick too
attention over here as well plz!!
Denstandigaresan said on December 24, 2003 16:42:
Awww, huggles all around for the poorly pair! :D
My PC is sick at the moment. Made mistake of downloading the new winamp... and OJ, did it make pc poorly! I managed to sort main problems out, but it’s made everything else on my pooter poorly sick. :(
ally77 said on December 24, 2003 17:24:
Awwwwwww best wishes to the both of you....
MM have a great Christmas!
MiracleMan said on December 25, 2003 00:53:
Kachina, I’m having a big-ass mug of hot tea to help combat the bronchial irritations. Simple recipe: one part tea, three parts whiskey. Adjust to taste.
MiracleMan said on December 25, 2003 00:58:
MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!
It’s already there for some of you, but I’m still waiting.
I’m going to get out of the house and go to Christmas Eve Mass since I’m missing going to with my sister tonight for candlelight services at the Presbyterian back home. (One of the few times I venture onto Hallowed ground, lest the Heavens open and I be smited my audacity.)
And as my voice is almost gone, I can’t wait to try to sing something. I have a vocal range of about a quarter of an octave. Anything higher sounds like I’m trying to sing so only dogs can hear. Should be fun. . .
kachina008 said on December 25, 2003 13:12:
thanks for the nice wishes ally and den...(i cant spell the rest of ur nick, sorry :(
Happy christmas everyone.
only its me and my boy, lying in bed, both of us sick, and trying to get well enough to go to the dinner at his mom’s tonite.
ugh.
DaminehGessle said on December 26, 2003 06:43:
Ya... Even though I do not celebrate Christmas, I do wish the rest a merry one.
MiracleMan said on January 6, 2004 23:20:
Ah, well, now that you mention it, I have been intermittent with my postings. Between illness, the holidays, a quicke wedding in Nevada, and a secret mission for the Pope—Damn! forget that last bit—been a little on the busy side. That and there’s been crap-all to post to lately.
What’s January doing for everyone else?
ally77 said on January 7, 2004 01:06:
Nout so far.. wanna go to bed... but waiting for my PC to install some new windows updates... don’t ask long story.. so I won’t bore you!
ROXIEBABY16 said on January 7, 2004 20:54:
*sprays some lysol to fight bacteria before stepping in* I just flew back in yesterday and missed all the illness that this thread seems to be spreading....i think maybe i was the lucky one...although a sour tum tum from a bad hamburger and a daquiri don’t mix....yuck talk about being sick...*turns four shades of green* anyways i hope everyone is feeling better! missed you all!!
*~Babie~*
MiracleMan said on January 8, 2004 01:18:
ROXIE! *gagging on the cloud of Lysol* I was just wondering what happened to you. And this flying of which you speak. . .was this home for the holidays or a proper vacation? Do tell.
As for the illness, I’m over it, except for a low grade sort of congestion, minimal phlegym, nose running, and a vague memory of a cough every so often. I did loose my voice for over a week and a half—at least it sounded like I was smoking three packs a day/going through puberty/some sort of pet chew toy. . .it’s back for the most part, but my singing voice sounds like Janice Joplin after twelve hours of straight singing. At least in the upper registers. So that’s the excitement with me. That and the quickie wedding. And the Pope thing. (Damn! Forget that again.)
ROXIEBABY16 said on January 8, 2004 23:03:
*huggles her sis* Hiyas Kachina happy new years to you and Jasper too!!! MM......I flew to Louisiana to visit my fiance and his family for new years and for a couple weeks after....*grins* glad you are feeling better...minus the phlegm......*giggles* don’t choke on the cloud of lysol...its good for you!!! it’ll make you all de-germed or whatever the word is...any news from Vix?!! i hope she’s feeling better....cheers!
~*Babie*~
kachina008 said on January 9, 2004 08:15:
Not too much phlegm no :P
*HUGS* back :)
yeah i took antibiotics to get de-germed before, might as well lysol myself as well!!! hee.
MiracleMan said on January 9, 2004 23:08:
I actually think I’m rather healed at this moment. *waits for the hand of God to smite him* But I cannot stand Lysol. It reminds me of an old lady’s bathroom.
ROXIEBABY16 said on January 13, 2004 21:53:
Well I am definately NOT an old woman and my bathroom smells good thank you very much *sticks my tongue out cheekily* well okay it looks like i need to get de-germed some mean person at work decided that i should get another taste of bronchitis or the flu since i was horrible enough to go away for almost two weeks to a warmer climate...damn cranky peoples....So yea my nose is rubbed raw from tissues and when i didn’t have tissues available at work, paper towels...and let me just say paper towels are a b***h on your soft nose skin...so yea my lips also managed to get chapped cause the air in my work place is dry and cold since they wont turn the heat up....talk about feeling majorly yucky.......plus theres that whole i think i’ve had an accident that would account for my nauseous tum tum lately.....but don’t really wanna know and wanna prolong the answer for as long as i possibly can *grinz* I’m such a brat. Anywhooo hope everyone else is feeling better?!!
*~Babie~*
MiracleMan said on January 13, 2004 23:34:
Hmmmm. . . an accident that causes nausea? Are we fearing the pitter-patter of Baby feet? Having trouble keeping our knees together and our ankles crossed, Rox?
kachina008 said on January 14, 2004 07:42:
and oh, BABIEEEEEEEEEE get well!!!! where are you at these days? where is college???
ROXIEBABY16 said on January 15, 2004 22:44:
@Kachina, i’ve been working and on vacation visiting Shawn....*grins and winks*...and i am not feeling oodles better...seems i had a touch of the flu from some woman at work who got it and so nicely gave it to me...cold as the artic up here with loads of snow and ice....i hate winter.....College isn’t until the 21st of Jan. and @MM....i have absolutely no trouble keeping my legs crossed to any man other than my fiancee....but no it turns out to be a stomach virus not anything else....not that the pitter patter of tiny feet would be such a horrible thing.......*grins* who wouldn’t want a lil me runnin around?? i think it would be cute *cheeky grin*
*~Babie~*
MiracleMan said on January 23, 2004 22:45:
ALRIGHT NOW! Slipped to page two. . .we’ll have none of that now.
ROXIEBABY16 said on January 23, 2004 22:48:
*snickers at MM’s reaction* awwww what you don’t think that my children will be cute whenever i DO choose to pro-create? *giggles* are you saying i’m ugly MM??? or just a fat and pimple/scar covered beast with hair coming out my ears/nose and growing off my knuckles and toes?? *giggles again* hmm?!! hmm?!! are ya are ya?!!! lol
OR
maybe its the “womans miracle talk” in the Miracle Man’s forum? *teehee*
*~Babie~*
MiracleMan said on January 26, 2004 00:54:
I’m. . .unsure. . .what you. . .THINK. . .you understood. . . hmmmmmmmmmmm. . . my thread had slipped to page two—that’s what I was talking about. I’ve got not problems talking about anyone getting knocked up and packin’ fetus.
And I don’t think you’ve got hair coming out of your ears. The rest I have no basis for. But your ears are probably fairly clear.
MiracleMan said on January 30, 2004 00:39:
Sorry Vixie, I think I did that. I had a thought, then Aaso said I was BQ, then Wendy started. . . it’s just gotten uglier from there.
(Edit—spelling)
Vixzter said on January 31, 2004 18:41:
this topic is only 1 above BQ as i type....so now it will go to the top ;)
MiracleMan said on January 31, 2004 19:09:
Oh Vixzter! *averting my eyes in shame and blushing* I feel. . . so, so. . . uuuuuuuuused. Not sure that I mind all that much. *winking seductively (is that even possible?)*
MiracleMan said on September 28, 2006 16:39:
*GASPING IN SHOCK*
Wow! This one pops up again? I’m so amazed! How did you EVER find this old thing?
*sweeps away the breadcrumbs from the bounce thread*
Vixzter said on September 28, 2006 16:53:
MM atleast you and me never asked for a topic to be made ;-)
*shakes head at pwbbounce* ;-)

**boo hoo**
snatches those nuts from Vix!
MiracleMan said on September 30, 2006 05:36:
Hey, Als: Must’ve missed something somewhere, but what nuts?
MiracleMan said on October 2, 2006 22:27:
Love s&v chips/crisps! Mmmmm.
Crappy day. And why the hell is is 90° outside? Frickin’ Indian summer. It’s FALL, dammit! Cool off!
MiracleMan said on October 3, 2006 22:44:
In the frickin’ 90’s today. It’s uncomfortably warm and this house gets no crossbreeze. I refuse to switch on the air conditioning.
I’m peculiar about the Salt & Vinegarchips, though, Lays makes the best here in the US. Is there anything better than a bag of S&V chips and a sweet drink? Great snack. *Salivating now. . .*
ally77 said on October 4, 2006 09:29:
Lays are like Walkers here I think! They are almost in the same packet!
MiracleMan said on October 5, 2006 23:37:
Just got a can of S&V Pringles this evening. The bastards aren’t stocking Lays anymore, but I was in the mood for ’em. Wonder why. . .
ally77 said on October 6, 2006 07:20:
Now S&V Pringles I don’t like..... I find them to have to much vineger!
MiracleMan said on October 7, 2006 21:33:
So far nothing. Laundry always pressing and the house is in desperate need of a clean.
This day—as beautiful as it is outside—I’ve spent the bulk of trying to get this damned computer to function properly. I love Macs, but the OS9 system is f*cked six ways from Sunday and I don’t have the fix-it programs and won’t until I get it from work Monday.
BUT, I finally got the damned thing open in OSX and got the internet function to working properly.
At the moment I’m TRYING to relax. Got SOAP playing, but it’s hurking every so often and it’s drinving me a little insane. May have to go to a CD player.
Talk about a week(end) of 4 Thursdays.
How about you?
ally77 said on October 8, 2006 07:31:
Weekend visiting family....
Still getting annoyed that my internet connection is playing up.... so I am going to have to get BT out and put it down to a fauly socket as everything else has been replaced!
ally77 said on October 9, 2006 11:45:
Did your weekend go to plan?
You know I really really hate Sundays!
MiracleMan said on October 14, 2006 06:04:
Weeeeeeeell. . . gone all week on a business trip. Spent ALL EVENING trying to get tot he root of the problem on the computer. Still not there yet, but I THINK I’m getting closer.
And it is sooooooooo COOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!
ally77 said on October 14, 2006 12:06:
Sends MM a blanket... e’cuse the dog hairs... lol
I love the cold... but that I always was weird!
MiracleMan said on October 16, 2006 23:00:
*tossing the blanket in the wash*
Yes, and rainy, although it’s warmer today than it has been.
Spent ALL daytime Saturday trying to fix the computer by doing everything by any method possible. . . finally had to reload the software and now everything is happy. Had to wait til today to contact the internet provider to get domain numbers, etc. I did have a mothereffer fit sever times, though.
All is well. For now. We’ll see if it all goes to shit again when I try to switch to OSX (which precipitated the Saturday aggrivation).
MiracleMan said on October 16, 2006 23:02:
*removing blanket from dryer*
Mmmmmmmmm. . . tooooaaaaasty waaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrmmmmmmm.
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. . .Thank you, Ally. ;)
MiracleMan said on October 19, 2006 18:29:
Hey! I have something everyone should try! Food poisoning. The throwing up. The diarrhea. Nausea for days. Not being able to eat for fear of throwing it up or that it will be quickly processed through to the other end.
It’s like that nasty flu thing without all the viral communicability! Hmmmm. EFF-YOO-ENN!
Slept half the day away. Thought I’d try work today, but I dry heaved in the shower and couldn’t settle my stomach down so I called in and went back to bed.
MiracleMan said on October 21, 2006 02:08:
Soooooo much better.
Going to see The Prestige (Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Scarlet Johanson) this weekend, I think. Hope it’s better than The Illusionist. Bit of a disappointment, that one.

Will do, Sugar. I have to say I’m rather keen to see it. My report here sometime soonish.
I’m guessing all the other moviegoers are going to be plunking down for Saw III. I will be giving that a pass. Saw was sorta OK the first time, Saw II was laughably ridiculous, so I have no inclination to watch a third go round of the same old crap.

Sheba! How are you?! Have you found any rootbeer there in The Netherlands? Do we need to ship you a bottle of Barq’s or A&W?
I’m doing pretty well these days, thanks for asking. One year anniversary coming up at the end of next month, so I’m trying to settle into the idea. But I’m well, all in all. You?
Need to get dressed, as I’m starkers at the moment. The things you do when you JUST want to check movie times on the internet while you’re getting ready. Then again, I put Efter Stormen on the CD player while I booted the computer, so I must have thought I’d be a while.
När Vindarna Vänt is up, so it HAS been.

I’ve seen enough Saw no more. After a while all those horror films are just recycled crap, and most were schlock to begin with. Never was a big horror film fan anyhow, and if I see one, it needs a clever hook or to be above average. Give me a good psychological thriller anyday.
The film I’m WANTING to see The Prestige. I called my buddy today, knowing he wants to see it too, but he gave me one of his ho-hum, “I don’t wanna see it today. . .how ’bout tomorrow” bits. Drives me up a wall. I get all in the mood to see a film—Saturday being the perfect day to do it, because I’d rather laze around on Sunday—and he poops out on me! And I would go see it alone, but because he wants to see it too, I’d feel guilty—or he’d make pointed asides about not getting to see it.
He’s the sort of person who won’t go to a movie alone either. Drives me mad. If you want to see a movie, GO! Don’t stay home just because no one else wants to see what you really want to see. I’d be SOL for half of my cinematic forrays if I didn’t just go. I think he believes people will think he’s pathetic or lonely. No, it means you had the opportunity to see a film you wanted to see. Crazymaking, I tell ya.
So hopefully tomorrow His Highness will be in the mood for it. If not, I’m going, guilt be damned.

MM I’m doing well, as well as can be under the circumstances (writing thesis)....I found rootbeer!!!!!! But it’s in this retail store (like Sam’s club or BJ’s) which I can’t get an account for. Incidentally it wasn’t so nice either, so crateful of Barq’s sounds soooo gooooood ;D
sending you an email now ;)

Go see it anyway dude. If nothing else, come up here, we’ll go together! :o)

I did see and I really liked it. MUCH better than The Illusionist. It’a a nasty little film about revenge and oneupmanship. Good performances, good plot, good tone, surprisingly humorous—I definitely recommend it. (And yes, my friend did go, but if he hadn’t been “in the mood” for it, I’d’ve gone anyway.)
And I did see The Omen when it was in theatres, and I liked it too. Nothing great, but enjoyable.
Sheba: Got the email, and I’ll get to it after I get out of the forums. :)
