Soooo....

Join the club. ;)

This place is driving me nuts, because we don't have everything put away yet. But, if I weren't sick, I'd be all over it. Right now, I get dizzy if I'm on my feet longer than 30 seconds. :rolleyes: I hate being incapacitated.

Awww big hugs for you ((((DP)))) Being sick sucks. I hope everyone that is ill feels better soon! :)

I have no idea. it is all a waiting game. I just finished the testing at another temp agency. I know they have interviews for a place I want to work and I let them know I am interested in interviewing for it. I sent out some more resumes today.

I am just trying to keep busy.

It was funny how nervewracking it was seeing the bus stop posters everywhere and the banner ads all over the place for this project. Now I don't have to panic when I see them.

[Alex]

Are they just blood and guts horror or are any of them good old fashioned suspense/scary horror?

I'm pretty thoroughly tired of torture porn.

That ain't torture porn.... If you want to see real torture porn, go to the BDSM section of your neighborhood "adult book" store!

[Alex]

BDSM videos have nothing on Hostel II for torture pornosity.

[CoasterMatt]

Or just google SWAP.avi :evil:

[JWBear]

BDSM videos have nothing on Hostel II for torture pornosity.

But the acts in Hostel II (and similar movies) is faked.... IMO, one of the definitions of porn is that what is depicted is real.

[Morrigoon]

I thought most of what happened in porn was faked, if you KWIM ;)

[JWBear]

I don't.

[Alex]

The faked acts of Hostel II are much more extreme than the real act of Bondage Babes 23. I can understand that eroticism and titillation of restraint and non-permanent pain. I don't see the potential eroticism and titillation (or worse, simple entertainment) of watching a woman masturbate in a tub full of the blood draining from her naked evisceration victim hanging from the ceiling.

Yes, movies like Hostel II aren't literal porn, but I'm not the one who crated the phrase to describe the genre.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Yeah, I suspected that was the scene you were talking about, Alex. We did the site for the movie, and, oy vey, that scene...

[JWBear]

I wasn't referring to fluff like Bondage Babes 23. I'm talking about the real hard core stuff you find in some real BDSM porn - especially in gay BDSM. Stuff that would make most fans of the mainstream "torture porn" run screaming.

The scene you described above is not just fake, but so outrageous and over the top that, while unpleasant to watch, it just reinforces its fakeness.

I could describe things I've seen that would make every male here cross their legs and squirm. And it's some thing done for real - live - and on film (on a willing subject). And with real blood, real screams. That, my friend, is real torture porn.

[Alex]

I doubt it, I've seen it all too. I've seen a penis get trifurcated without use of anaesthetic and plenty of very extreme bondage and mutilation stuff. Yes, that is real porn. And the faked acts in movies are more extreme than them in what they present, regardless of whether that very extremeness just highlights that they are staged. I'm not sure what it is we appear to be arguing about.

But as I said I'm not the one who began the use of "torture porn" in reference Hostel II style horror movies. If you feel that real torture porn is somehow being devalued or insulted I'll stop using it.

And my original question remains, are the movies involved in this film festival simple blood and guts horror films in the vein of Hostel II or do they show some inclination towards a more classic literary style of horror?

[Morrigoon]

I don't think there's anything wrong with your term, Alex. Just like films like Elizabeth are referred to as textile porn because the richness of the costuming is one of the main draws, I think it's perfectly reasonable for you to refer to blood-and-guts horrof flicks as torture porn.

[Kevy Baby]

For the record:
No interest in horror/slasher flicks (Friday the 13th, et. al.)
No interest in BDSM films (light or heavy)And personally, I believe one should never argue semantics with Alex.

[Alex]

That depends on how you're using the word never.

[Kevy Baby]

That depends on how you're using the word never.I don't give a damn if you never look at them: I gave you mojo for that post anyways.

I just think it's silly to use the term (regardless of its origins) when what it's used to describe is neither torture nor porn... And that which can legitimatly be described using the term does exist. But, whatever. YMMV.

...And personally, I believe one should never argue semantics with Alex.

You'd think I would learn by now.... ;)

[Ghoulish Delight]

I just think it's silly to use the term (regardless of its origins) when what it's used to describe is neither torture nor porn... And that which can legitimatly be described using the term does exist. But, whatever. YMMV.See 'goon's example of "textile porn." Or countless other examples of "______ porn" as a shorthand for, "Material aimed at people who are big fans of _______ with no other artistic value beyond pandering to those people." It's a pretty common turn of phrase and just because there happens to be another product that could also be described as such (though rarely uses that exact terminology) doesn't mean it's not an apt use.

[CoasterMatt]

like rollercoaster porn :)

Except that there really is some thing called torture porn. As far as I know, there are no categories of sexually explicit films aimed specifically towards people with sexual fetishes for fabric or rollercoasters.

I wouldn't call slasher films "torture porn" any more than I would call Armageddon an astronomy documentary. :)

[CoasterMatt]

As far as I know, there are no categories of sexually explicit films aimed specifically towards people with sexual fetishes for fabric or rollercoasters.

You obviously haven't seen my video collection :evil:

[Alex]

I can see your point. However, it is a linguistic battle already lost. I just searched "torture porn" at Google and all 100 of the first 100 results are references to horror movies and none genuine torture porn. Even combining "torture porn" with BDSM finds a fair number that are still talking about horror movies when they use the phrase.

That's the drawback of being an extremely niche mostly underground marketplace. The mainstream isn't going to take any notice of linguistic priority when it comes time to hand out the new labels.

And I don't know about rollercoasters but there is porn out there where specific fabrics plays a key role. Particularly silk and velvet.

I'm guessing you didn't even register so that you can see the good stuff.

I was never into the extreme bodymodification myself but was on the fringes of it at one time. What is surprising to most people is that generally these people are otherwise very "normal." Yeah, some seem to have some larger mental issues but most of them are just kinked in a very specific way.

I'm still waiting for a modern form of branding with enough precision that I can enact the bodmod plan I would go for.

[Disneyphile]

I have a couple friends who like to go to "piercing parties" and such, but the few "samples" I saw on that site are way beyond anything they'd even do.

Ok i can breathe again and life goes on i got my Bon Jovi tickets for all 3 southern california shows from the fan club tonight. Excited to get the wristband to go on side of stage for 3 songs for two nights out of the 3 yay...ok april can't come fast enough now....

[Prudence]

Because I didn't feel crappy enough - the state AG's office has officially rejected me. If even the state, for which I've already worked for 9.5 years, doesn't want me as a lawyer, I think that's probably a pretty bad sign.

I saw dance porn tonight.

Chris is creating a thread about it but I can't stay awake to read it and add my comments. Tomorrow, maybe.

[€uroMeinke]

guess you either hate her or love her - We saw Ten Chi performed tonight at UCLA, part of the Dance series this year and one of my must see choreographers - I'm obviously in the second camp. I was surprised that so many people left during intermission, more surprised when people left in the middle of the second act. But those that stayed leapt to their feet and gave an ovation that even the house lights couldn't kill.

http://photos.xenarchy.com/albums/userpics/10001/ten%20chi%20-%20foto_Jochen_Viehoff.jpg

I don't know that I can adequately describe the performance, a dance collage of impressions of Japanese culture through European glasses. It was funny, joyful, erotic, and just mesmerizing. A snow of confetti began at the end of the first act and continued through intermission and heck even through the curtain call. The ever present falling of - snow? paper cranes? cherry blossoms? it was perfect for the piece and made the dancers repeated moves through the drifts all the more enjoyable to watch. I love that Pina Bausch uses dancers of so many differing types, ages, sizes, and lets each play out their personalities and characters. Her work is half dance half performance art which is probably why I love it so much. She plays through the weekend, I'd recommend seeing this, except, you might just hate her. But for me, I can't wait to see more.

[Snowflake]

Home again, still sick, shoulda not gone to work yesterday. So, I'm going to bundle up on the couch with Disney Movies, Jungle Book and Ratatouie are coming in the mail today.

BTD what did ya get? I went with the fan club so i am in the first 20 rows (more like 10 rows with my package for the first night) a signed program and wristband to go on the side stage for 3 songs for the first night. Second night just a ticket somewhere in the first 20 rows and then for Staples the same package with ticket, signed program and then wristband yet again. Man that didn't even break the bank...lmao Let me know we're staying down by Disneyland at the Carosuel Inns and Suites but i promised the extra bed to a fellow fan club member for the weekend to crash.

So I've been sitting in the Hard Rock Hotel all week and been pretty bored so we found some really good tickets to go see Henry Rollins tonight. I'm pretty excited as it's a spoken word tour, last year we flew down to SF just to see his band perform!
We knew Gene Simmons would be here at the Rock tonight but we certainly wouldn't spend the kind of money they wanted for tickets! Well, I was just given vip tickets for tonights Beachers Madhouse and a pass to walk the red carpet. They are also having a three hour complimentary open bar! This place should be a Madhouse tonight!! Maybe I'll see if I can sneak in after Henry!

I want to see No Country for Old Men and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. I want to see them both real bad. But between a certain birthday swanking, a Hello Dali Llama exhibit, a Koop Concert, a Horseback riding birthday thing, a hike up to the Griffith Observatory and a trip out to Joshua Tree National Park ... well, I just don't think I'm going to squeeze in any movies.

Sigh.

Thank you all for the good vibes.

Monday could be the day. I have an interview Monday morning, via a temp service. They are looking for someone to start immediatly. I have a good friend who already works there, and she loves it.

If that doesn't work out I have another interview, via a different temp service Monday afternoon.

I also just checked my email and found a promising note for a local hospital that is looking for an Administrative Assistant. I had applied there yesterday and they are interested enough to let me know I am a possible candidate.


oh, and The Old People brought over their bikes, so now Nickolas and I have mathcing mountain bikes. I hadn't been on a bike in more than 20 years. It felt great to be mobile again. I think he and I will be taking a trip around the block here in a few minutes.

Haha... I am thoroughly amused. I was responding to a blog post about the proper use of the word "blog" and whether or not a "post" to a blog could likewise be called "blog". In doing so, I made a reference to the looser rules of internet gramma (since blog is a word spawned from that school of writing), and needed to refer to "leet", which a lot of the readers (real estate professionals all) would know nothing about. So I pulled up the wiki entry on it.

It's a riveting read!

Someone in a position of authority said nice things about me today. Therefore, I'm momentarily happy.

I'm a Cormac McCarthy fan. His work is often brutal, but mesmerizing and beautiful. I'm looking forward to this film, though I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to see it.

[lindyhop]

Is anyone familiar with D. J. Waldie? He wrote this beautiful book called Holy Land and he occasionally writes pieces for the L.A.Times. I met him at the Festival of Books a few years ago. He has a new book out which is a collaboration with Diane Keaton about So Cal Spanish Revival architecture. And this morning I heard him on a radio segment about local street names. The piece was about a street in Lakewood and since he's information officer (something like that) for the city of Lakewood it was natural for him to take part.

So I'm driving through Lakewood this morning to my usual coffee place and because of the radio piece I'm thinking about Lakewood street names and D. J. Waldie. I'm just fascinated that this real author person is local and not in some ivory tower somewhere (I recognized him coming out of Best Buy once) so I'm wondering if he ever goes to my coffee place and I'm imagining what I might say to him. And I glance over to this man walking along the street and...it's D. J. Waldie.

What a ridiculous coincidence.

Did you say hi?

Is it possible to be hungover when you don't drink alcohol?

I'm feeling the same - must've been something in the air...:rolleyes:

[CoasterMatt]

I woke up feeling great- then Ethel decided to do a cannonball on to my stomach.

[Prudence]

I woke up after a second night of emotionally draining nightmares.

[Morrigoon]

Anybody wanna hang at the park tonight?

[lashbear]

I do..... :(

[Morrigoon]

Awww Lashie, I wish you could, I wish you could.

[Morrigoon]

I'msofvckingbored! Where is everyone tonight?

[mousepod]

New Beverly. Midnight. Big Trouble In Little China.

[CoasterMatt]

As much as I wanna go see BTiLC tonight, my brain doesn't.

[wendybeth]

I think I may get liquored up and then go over to the neighbors at 3 AM, pop in one of my MIL's Mormon Tabernacle Choir CD's into the Bose and turn it up full blast. Their teenaged kids threw a party that went on until around 4 this morning, and I had to work today. Hard to be creative on two hours sleep. Little bastards. I'm so glad I can afford better alcohol- there were Keystone beer cans all over the street, so I'm pretty sure they're all suffering from cheap beer hangovers today.:D

Me? I am home to change and go hear all about Dux n Tux from my friend.

[alphabassettgrrl]

MG- bike riding is fun! Enjoy your "new" bikes!

I got 14 miles in this morning which was nice. Mountain bike trails. I was feeling it, since I have been away from my bike for two whole weeks.

Work tonight was an oldies show. The lead singer had jackets for his Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and his Little Richard characters. The other singer had a Roy Orbison getup and something else I can't remember. My fellow spotlight op commented on the bad wig; "it's Roy Orbison not Liza Minnelli". It was funny. The first guy came out a second time as Elvis in a tight black jumpsuit but at least this time he ditched the wig (it was bad).

So now I'm home and my Guinness is foaming in its glass nicely. Hubby wants me to get to bed but I'm *so* not tired.

My cousin has been emailing me since I got her address at her wedding. She likes the names-calligraphy piece I did for them and she likes the pictures I took at her wedding. Happy happy! She's a cousin, and I haven't had a lot of contact with her over the last... I don't know how many years. My mom's had dinner with her a few times, so it's not like my family is totally disconnected. Just mostly.

[Morrigoon]

umm... LACMA, Koop and another late night concert.


Oh, THAT was tonight! I knew it had to be something.

Park wasn't fun alone. I left during the fireworks.

Anything good going on today?

[mousepod]

Why, yes. In fact there is. (http://www.attheecho.com/2007/10/24/sunday-111107-30-year-anniversary-book-release-celebrating-the-infamous-punk-club-the-masque/)

[wendybeth]

Now, in the old days, the invite to a 'BBQ' at any punk venue would have made me nervous. I still would have went, of course.:D

[Matterhorn Fan]

The light bulb in the hall burnt out today. I keep trying to turn that light on. It is driving me crazy.

But not crazy enough to get up on a chair to replace it.

[RStar]

I'm not sure I'm going to make it tonight, but I'll bet that the Plugz reunion (first show together in decades), performing their classic "Electrify Me" in its entirety, will be pretty special.

Not to single you out, RStar, but I wonder why people feel the need to post negative opinions of things they haven't experienced. Negative reviews are always fun to read, but overarching "wet blanket" posts tend to bum me out, especially in a group like LoT.

[wendybeth]

Wow, some people really don't like BBQ's, eh?

[CoasterMatt]

Oh yeah, wendybeth - I was gonna tell you about my annoy neighbors to tears tactics- one of them is putting Barry Manilow's "I Can't Smile Without You" on repeat- it may be a fun song the first time or two, but by the time play 50 comes around, they'll be begging for mercy.

[Snowflake]

Okay, but I love Belinda Carlisle's shoes!

276

I missed punk completely, even though I was fully immersed at Tower Records at that time. I could not tell one band from another. All I can remember from that time, and I do not even remember if it is punk (I think it was more goth), but I loved the EP of Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus.

So much music, so little time!

I'm glad CM is not my neighbor.;):cheers:

I was in Old Navy today because all their outerwear jackets and vests are on sale and I thought maybe there would be something I'd like (there wasn't). There were "40% off" signs plastered everywhere. Two teenage girls looked at one jacket and one said, "That's cute. And it's only $40." :rolleyes:

For the sake of mankind I'll assume the tagged price was $66.66.

Sorry, MP, I didn't mean to bum you out, and didn't mean it to come across as much negitive as funny. While that is not my type of music, and I probably would not enjoy it much, I certainly would not discourage anyone from going and enjoying it.

Thank you for letting me know, it was rather insensitive of me put it the way I did. I'll be more carefull in the future.

Please accept my apologies.

[BarTopDancer]

Hey Bob,

There has been a stream of negativity in another thread about another music event. Sometimes it seems that an overall tone of negativity abounds the LoT these days.

Hopefully it will pass soon. And please don't jump naked into a pile of thumbtacks. Those are much harder than pushpins to get out :P

[Morrigoon]

Yeah, so I'm getting a 2nd job for the holidays. Thinking of going to the mouse.

I wish imagineering or the studios had weekend jobs.

[Prudence]

I had a fun evening playing board games with friends. We should have a board game discussion and rating thread. I wish I lived closer to other board game-playing types.

[Mousey Girl]

I miss playing games. Nickolas loves to play, but it isn't the same as playing with adults.

It is flippin' cold this morning. I had to get out the space heater for the bathroom so that I can take a shower.

I had a good weekend. I was able to catch up on a lot of sleep. Today I have 2 prospective jobs to visit. The one I want is this morning at 9:30. Depending on how the interview goes, I could start as early as today, which would be great. Neither place pays as much as I would like, but at least it would be something more than I am making at this moment (which is nothing). Both are close to the house, which is nice. I like only having to drive 5-10 minutes to get to work. The one this morning means reuniting with a former co-worker and good friend.

It is hard not to get my hopes up...

[Nephythys]

Sometimes I consider getting a part time holiday job- then I realize I am not willing to give up the time I have outside of the job I have had for almost 8 years......and I also realize that OT is unlimited and I make more doing OT than a part time job would pay anyway.

Yeah- that's the ticket. :)

[BDBopper]

Board games are awesome. So is cards!

Whenever anyone on my mom's side of the family gets together card games are a must-play (There has to be something else to do other than drink beer...We sure go through a lot of it!) at the reunions! There's a game called Tripoly that we always play. It's very fun! I guess you could call it a board game as well cause there is a board (usually in the form of a mat) used to play the game. If we're not playing that it is poker, rummy, or cribbage (Grandpa's favorite game may he continue to rest in peace).

[Snowflake]

Good luck MG on the job you want! Fingers and toes crossed for a good interview!

[Snowflake]

Yeah, so I'm getting a 2nd job for the holidays. Thinking of going to the mouse.

Good luck on that Morrigoon! I moonlighted for years, now I wonder how I did that, I was working the kind of hours Kevy does now.

[RStar]

I'd work for the mouse on the weekends if I hade the energy. I work at home all weekend now, since my wife can't do much houshold work any more. And now that I'm getting close to 50, I just can't handle the hours any more like I use to.

Perhaps when I retire I can work there. I'd be a sweeper if I could. :D

I have thought about getting another job in retail. The problem is that I would only be willing to work on the weekends that I don't have The Boy.

[Kevy Baby]

Sometimes it seems that an overall tone of negativity abounds the LoT these days.No there isn't

[Morrigoon]

Here's a new experience...

You know how sometimes after eating something tasty, the taste in your mouth makes you want more, so you have to eat something else to get rid of it?

Well, I had to eat chocolate to cover the taste of soup.

Should've made more soup. That was the last bowl from that batch.

[Not Afraid]

When things are really wonderful and something bad happens, the bad thing seems so much worse then if things were already mediocre or downright sucks. I hate that.

[Gemini Cricket]

I was wondering why the phones were so quiet and then I realized that today is Veterans' Day. I guess people took a 3 day weekend...

[Kevy Baby]

[Disneyphile]

Finally got my ultrasound appointment (no, I'm not pregnant). They told me I have to drink 32 oz. of water within one hour prior to the appointment without using the bathroom.

Now, there's a challenge!

As if I wasn't already apprehensive enough about the whole ordeal. :rolleyes:

[Gemini Cricket]

32oz. That's one Big Gulp's worth of water.
You can do it.
:)

[Kevy Baby]

Four 8 oz glasses of water in one hour? No too bad.

[Disneyphile]

32oz. That's one Big Gulp's worth of water.
You can do it.
:)Oh, I can certainly drink it. The problem is not using the restroom until after they are done. And, if this place is like any other office, I'll be sitting for an extra hour. And, the process will be challenging enough, considering they'll be pushing around in that area as well.

I'm so not looking forward to next Monday.

[Gemini Cricket]

Just don't think of Niagara Falls and the Bellagio show...
:D

[Matterhorn Fan]

So, last week on my drive home from work, I passed a truck that was hauling a roller coaster train.

Today, I was passed by a truck that was hauling golf carts.

What gives?

You can handle it. I did this at about 15 weeks pregnant or something like that. Your back teeth will be floating and you'll run for the restroom {wear comfy pants, quick on downpull}.

Your fear about having to wait, well, that depends. {LOL Depends!!! :blush: } Is the office where that procedure will be done the same that makes you wait so long? And, hopefully they'll be considerate of you.

[Mousey Girl]

I got the job!! I start tomorrow morning. I will have to be there earlier than I would like, which means some compromising with respects to The Boy, but it also means overtime $$.

[Morrigoon]

Carry the last 16 oz (average sport size bottle) with you to their office and drink while driving there, waiting to check in, and while filling out their paperwork.

[Morrigoon]

Is it 6 yet?

[blueerica]

To be honest, and this isn't exactly "like me" - but I'm in the mood to have the holidays start early this year. It's been a strange few months and I'm ready to at least fake myself out into thinking about "holiday spirit." I'm ready for shiny little lights and obnoxiously early music. I'm making the gingerbread lattes and grateful for each waft of sweetness that passes my nose. I'm ready to smell turkeys and hams, mashed potatoes and at least three kinds of pie. Gimme stuffing! Gimme cranberries! Give me anything, damn it! Anything but more school work and the same-old same-old. Just this once.

[Brigitte]

It's really not because we want it to be Christmas. We have plans the next 2 weekends and by then it'll likely be too snowy and icy outside to put them up. They are also the obnoxious kind that play music and each zone blinks independently with the music ;)

But I really don't want them on until after Thanksgiving, we just had them on last night to make sure they worked. They're off now, I promise.

[MouseWife]

Oh man! Even I was looking at the canned cranberries and thinking 'Oh, we should have those out, even if no one eats them....'

Which is funny because I've been thinking of having an 'anti-Christmas'. I'm tired of it being about gifts, we don't need anything {except to pay bills}. I have been thinking instead of encouraging the spirit of Christmas, rather than the spirit of giving gifts.

I want to spend time with family and friends. Making cookies, doing crafts, sharing time with people. We've been so busy, having said too many times 'Oh I wish we had time to spend with so and so, we haven't seen so and so in ages...etc.'

I have been thinking that we shall try and watch a movie every night, those who want to watch can {last year everyone was eager to watch together} and those who don't, no pressure.

I need to find my X-mas cd {complete with a snowy picture of Yosemite etched on to it}.

I think I need to do my best to bring the family together as everyone is so busy.

I LOVE lights. I even set them up inside of my house.

[blueerica]

I like the sound of that MW!!

[Disneyphile]

Christmas isn't coming up in our home until the weekend of the 8th. We'll be out-of-town for most of the first week in December, so we're not trusting Emmy with the tree while we're gone.

Kittens are good for some things - like keeping Christmas closer to Christmas. ;)

[Kevy Baby]

To be honest, and this isn't exactly "like me" - but I'm in the mood to have the holidays start early this year.Here is something for you to look forward to: you get to experience a white Christmas this year!

It's really not because we want it to be Christmas. We have plans the next 2 weekends and by then it'll likely be too snowy and icy outside to put them up. They are also the obnoxious kind that play music and each zone blinks independently with the music ;)

But I really don't want them on until after Thanksgiving, we just had them on last night to make sure they worked. They're off now, I promise.I have no problem with them going up early. Turning them ON before Thanksgiving is what will cause problems. But your intent is to not, so you are okay.

And since you are officially resolved to not light before Thanksgiving (after all, it is the intent that matters), please go ahead and turn them on once just to issue a pox upon GC. He deserves it.

[Brigitte]

[Brigitte]

Now I need to make some large lighted presents to put under the tree...

[CoasterMatt]

We do our gift giving throughout the year- Christmas is for being with family and friends, and pointing and laughing at the people stressing over "what to get"- and lot's of pie... and bacon.

My parents already asked me what I wanted for Christmas and initially the request was going to be for a digital camera. Now, I think I'm just going to send them the address to my credit card payment centers and say, "Have at it. Whatever you can donate will be appreciated."

[Alex]

I have given one Christmas present in the last five years and received none. That seems about as involved with the holiday as I want to get. Fortunately I rarely have to mix in the "time with family" thing either. More like "time with a blackjack table."

[MouseWife]

Oh Oh!! Bingo!! We play that New Years Eve. For those who are too young to go out or who come home early.

New Years Eve....Is there already a thread as to what everyone will be doing??

Why yes, there is. (But I can't find it)

Gumball machine (and yes I want gumballs in the machine)
Simpson dvd - all seasons
Eye mask for sleeping
Money in general
Pirets of the carribean at world's end
A device that teaches Spanish
Car charger for my phone (which is an lg 8100)
Hitachi dvd digital camcorderw/2.7 lcd screen (touch screen)

It all goes on for two or more pages. She spent all weekend at stores walking around with her list making notes.

[CoasterMatt]

So the Mutaytor show will be a celebrate the Death of A Credit Card night, too!!!

WOOHOO!!! :snap: :snap:

[Mousey Girl]

Normally I wait until after Boy's b-day (the 6th) to start Christmas decorations. Since this is going to be such an odd year I may let him get the stuff down Thanksgiving weekend. It may help his mood a bit. He is still angry with me about spending TG with his dad, this may be the ticket to get him out of the funk.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with him for his b-day. I am thinking, since he is mine the weekend after, a day trip on that Saturday to DLR, staying later than we normally do to see the lights, might be just the ticket. That Sunday it looks like we are heading to Tehachapi in the late afternoon to celebrate with my sister and then go see her girls' recital in Bear Valley. Now I just need to figure out when to do his b-day with The Old People...

*sigh*

I did have a nice conversation with D tonight. I wanted to make sure that Boy came to me TG night, not spend the night over there. Boy was worried enough that his counselor talked to me about it. I also had a few things I needed to clear up. The conversation went well, but I made sure I called him before he got home from work, so that HER influence wouldn't be so prevalent.

This year, the women will take their tops off!Um, a few of us did last year, but no one even noticed! :rolleyes: (Although, I think CP saw us...) We pressed boobies against the big window, facing to the inside, where everyone was gathered in the dining room. Not our fault none of you looked. :p

Some highlights from Maddy's Christmas list which she's been working on all day.

It all goes on for two or more pages. She spent all weekend at stores walking around with her list making notes.


Wow. Want to exchange lists with mine. Mine is really really short! LOL

New Years Eve....Is there already a thread as to what everyone will be doing??

I will probably be watching football, making phone calls, and IMing people. I'm not a big New Year's Eve person. Why? Fireworks and me are not friends. Loud noises that come out of nowhere that I can't see make me quite uncomfortable. Then I will set my alarm for 3 AM Eastern so that I can wish you guys a Happy New Year...and then I will go back to bed.

Christmas isn't coming up in our home until the weekend of the 8th. We'll be out-of-town for most of the first week in December, so we're not trusting Emmy with the tree while we're gone.

Kittens are good for some things - like keeping Christmas closer to Christmas. ;)

We usually don't put up Christmas decorations until the 15th of December. That's my Mom's Birthday. So around that time is when we go and buy a tree. As for me however I have my own little tree that I will put up around the first of the month. I am beginning to come up with a small collection of Christmas decoarations, ornaments, plushes. In fact I think I have a bigger tree this year I can actually hang my Disney ornaments on. We'll see. My Disney collection is really special because it was bought for me by a really good friend of mine that lost her battle with adrenal gland cancer last year. I cried when I opened the box last year. I'll probably do so again this year. I miss her bunches. She was such a nice person.

Yay MG! I am so happy! Congrats.

Hey why don't I ever get multicolored text shouts? LOL

[CoasterMatt]

I just fell off my chair.

I apologized to the floor, promptly picked myself back up.

Then I continued to laugh.
