Preview: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809834155/video/4367764
I'd been hearing about this early in its development and was somewhat curious (and yet bothered at the same time) how Johnny Depp would do in the part of the murdering/musical barber role. Looking at the preview, it almost seems like he's trying to tantalize people who otherwise wouldn't know what the musical is about by inwardly resurrecting his Jack Sparrow role. For those new to the topic of Sweeney Todd, the story concerns a man whose life was somewhat left in shambles by his unjustly being taken to prison. When getting out (he escaped if I remember right), he seeks revenge against the evil judge who put him there. But in his thirst for revenge he takes up killing people who sit in his chair, when taking office as a barber. To dispose of the bodies, his friend Mrs. Lovett, who owns a meat pie shop, comes up with the idea of baking the victims into the pies and serving them to her customers. It goes on from there. |

Absolutely too cute for words. Just sharing and maybe bringing a smile to someone's face.

Video of the incident can be found at the Smoking Gun here: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/1002071jena1.html
Almost (not quite) in the vein of Al Jolson, some Louisiana college students decided to reenact the controversial Jena 6 incident which followed several racially-charged occurrences. In case the link craps out, here's the article: Originally posted by Smoking Gun EDIT: Found the video posted on YouTube: (Last edited by Rogue on 10-04-07 11:28 PM) |

Scrolling through it with the magnifier on my mouse, it just jumped out at me.

Yep. Were I to actually deviate from my militant straightness, I probably would be into this type.

I actually got to the year 2130, had $165,000 to my name and then got bored. There's really no way to win the game it seems. It just keeps going.

Some hints I realized. If things feel like they're going too fast for you, you can pause the game and take care of some business then. So long as you don't hit around -$33,000 or less, you're okay.

So addressing the double standards I'd mentioned earlier, here's a joke someone sent me in an e-mail today:

I've heard about successful online relationships--couples who are happily married and so on. I have yet to know any of them personally, though.

Here's my experience with long distance/online dating. Right after I'd just turned 14, I met this 16-year-old guy in a chatroom (back when chatrooms were still people having conversations and flame wars and not just spam fests for porn sites and most of the guys in there are trolling for something more than talk). We got to talking over IMs and really got into each other. Problem was, I gave him a fake name when we first met. My parents insisted that if I'm going to use the Internet for anything I must NEVER use my real name. On top of this, because I was tired of getting called names for being younger than the average there, I claimed to be 16 (not much of a stretch considering I used to also claim I was 22 and no one ever doubted that). I figured since I live in California and he lives in Texas, and that it was the Internet for crying out loud, I could always just break things off simple as that by deleting my screen name. Didn't think it was going to get very far. Eventually we started talking on the phone more often and he asked me out a month into our interlude. Amused and not wanting to hurt his feelings, I said yes. As time went on, about a year into the relationship I finally told him the truth about my name and age. He forgave me and then started asking me in conversations if I would ever marry him. Again not wanting to hurt his feelings, I said I might in the future. He came to visit during the summer, about the year and a half mark, and we were completely inseparable. Then he gave me a ring. Didn't get down on one knee, just gave me the ring and said he'd do a formal proposal at a better time. I came out to Texas to visit him for that Christmas and that was the last time either of us saw of each other for 2 years. The relationship had begun to dwindle in my eyes around the 3-year mark. Our 6-hour long talks on the phone became 5 minute chat every day that were simply, "Hey, what's up? Oh, okay. Well I have to go. I love you, bye!" A month before our 4-year anniversary I broke it off after a lot of prodding from a friend who'd also been hinting that he wanted to go out with me. My friend Emily was so upset that I ended the relationship without any remorse (also because she was using me as her shining example since her own boyfriend of 3 years had gone on a tour of duty 2 years prior and she needed someone in a "successful" long-distance relationship to make her believe it could work for her). Despite my now-ex's tearful phone calls that usually had him saying, "If I love you and you love me, why aren't we together?" I never felt any need to return. What made the farce worse was his insistence on coming to visit me and maybe things would work out. When he got here, the distance between us was so vast in terms of our relating to each other that it was ridiculous. Even Emily finally realized that I just didn't love him or want to be with him any more. Now, what does this all have to do with online dating? The differences between that and dating someone you can see when you want to (or at least someone who can call and not get too raped for long distance charges) are very, very different. With online dating, it's very easy to grow apart. Example: with a non-long distance relationship you can go places with the person and make friends with and hang out with their friends and so on and so forth. You're growing together, seeing the same things, the same people and going through the same times. With a long-distance/online relationship, you both are having two different views of life and people because neither of you are in the same place the other is. One person's city could be going through a flood or some sort of crisis and the other person who's town is fine isn't going to know what it's like and is going to grow differently in thoughts and ideas. OK, not sure if that made any sense. One person's going through a crisis while the other's trying their best to impart their understanding of the situation, but they wouldn't truly know since they aren't going through it. What's more, with online dating it's so easy to seem more suave or charming than you really are because you have practically an eternity to come up with a response to something the other person says. That's not a REAL conversation where you'd have to think on your feet. You can't just pull up a dictionary or a website and pull together the best response you can. They aren't displaying who they really are, how they really talk, and thus are cheating themselves out of what could have been. Now that it's been almost 5 years since the online guy and I broke up where are we now? He has a daughter with the girl he got with right after we broke up and I'm dating someone who's practically living with me these days. We're much better people with those who are with us now as opposed to being with people from which we are still apart. Are there any regrets about dating someone online and for that long? A couple weeks after our break-up he'd mentioned that the reason he'd been going to school was to get a better job for when we got married and he'd been saving his money for us. Think of all the money he was saving from 4 years of not taking a girlfriend out places or paying for dinners and what have you (not to say that I don't pay for myself, but you get the point). Not only was he doing well in school (and has since gone on to get a degree and a decent job), but he had quite a bit set aside for his life ahead and I'm quite proud of him. I don't recommend online dating, but for those in relationships, I do say that they can work, just if you put the effort in keeping them working. (Last edited by Rogue on 10-10-07 04:31 PM)
