| To complement what Nagis suggested, do something to shake things up a bit. I swear it works wonders for your self-image.
I started driving last week after finally getting my permit on a whim. I've been much more pleased with myself and the change has inspired me to up my productivity. Sorry to talk about myself, but it's sometimes the only way I can illustrate a point. Set a goal for yourself that's fun and self-progressive (read a book a week, visit one museum a month, talk to at least one stranger a day, perform one random act of kindness every chance you get, etc). Once you've accomplished a goal you've set for yourself, you feel a lot better and you improve yourself at the same time. And if you ever get the chance, study philosophy. DO IT! |

| Seeing as I just called Zoso asking if we were going to go vote together when he got off work and he had NO IDEA what I was talking about, let me make this further reminder to all U.S.-registered voters on the board to please go out today and VOTE!
If you're angry with the way things are going in this country--VOTE! If you want to see some changes made that would satisfy your needs as well as others in the world--VOTE! You might not think your vote counts, but in a society dominated by voter apathy, where older folks (usually of "traditional" GOP values) hit the polling places in record numbers while teens and 20s forget there are even elections going on, EVERY vote counts. Find your polling place and punch that chad with avengence (Yes, I know the methods are usually ink blots and computers, but you get the point!!). |

| I'm still just so amused that that From Dusk 'Til Dawn quote is still making the rounds.
Cheech for president! |

I still haven't had any luck finding a genuine big Stitch, nor a bootleg one that's that large. 
Originally posted by Zabuza I keep telling Brandon to reply to the comment you made in my LJ, but he keeps neglecting to do it. You have his number, right? I'm just directing the two of you together since you guys are the ones with schedules and jobs while I'm just going with the flow. |

| At random some very lyrical and pleasant phrases have been popping into my head, making my heart swell and my soul leap.
Then just as suddenly the words fade and I'm left before an empty screen, museless and cold. |

Originally posted by Zabuza Sure! Probably Saturday since Brandon made plans for Friday night (he's getting tickets to see Down, this metal band he's really into) and this is after driving home from Phoenix after driving there the day before. It's helpful having two drivers now, I guess. Both Saturday and Sunday I'm free that weekend. Were you going to try to go to Loscon? It's that weekend as well, though I haven't heard about anything great being planned. |

Heroes will be fine.
|
Don't worry. They already wrote an alternate ending to the season which will end it in 4 or 5 episodes from now. So instead of going on hiatus, the season will just end. The second season was being written in 3 arcs anyway, as opposed to one big one, this season finale will just be tying up this story that was already ending as it is. The writers' strike did however force the cancellation of Heroes: Origins which would have run during the hiatus, but oh well. Heroes is doing better than most of the shows out there. I thoroughly support the writers guild in this strike. It's simply not fair that producers and networks are making all the post-production profits off of something that these people created. Writers really should get their fair share. Many celebs are in full support of the writers as well, including Tim Kring, Heroes' creator. Rumor had it that NBC fired him for supporting his writers, but that's simply just sensationalized gossip. (Last edited by Rogue on 11-07-07 07:04 PM)

Originally posted by Vulkar Yeah, I really was somewhat expecting them to just move it to next season, especially since they were getting people to guest-write it, like Kevin Smith. They had approached Quentin Tarantino to write an episode, but then he threw a fit because he didn't know what Heroes was. Seriously, he's been quoted as shouting, "What the fuck is 'Heroes'?" which has caused him a lot of ridicule in Hollywood with people joking about him being just as clueless about pop culture as he is film-making (I do happen to like his movies, thank you very much, but yeah, what the hell?).

Originally posted by !X! Yeah I like his movies, but he is such a prick. I'm still annoyed with how people give him credit for foreign films that he didn't have any hand in making (Hero, Iron Monkey, Hostel). His name appears on them because he applied his name to them in order for them to make it in this country. The guy still includes an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live as something he's directed, for crying out loud.

I'm 22. Just got my permit (and I seriously got it because I was bored). Went down to the DMV, took the written test, missed 1 (it was one of those questions where several answers were right, but one was more right |
 ), and now I'm driving all over the place with Zoso riding shotgun.
I don't know how it is in other states (or countries, for that matter ), but here in California the permit's good for a year.

I found this a couple months back, but it still makes me laugh.

If you've seen Austin Powers: Goldmember, you might remember in one of the scenes when Austin and Foxy are in Japan someone runs their car into a giant dinosaur statue of sorts and continues driving down the street. Little did I remember this fateful cameo: (restricted) |

Bumped. Just because.

This past weekend was pretty much a continuous celebration of Dia de los Muertos, pretty much my favorite holiday. Friday: I drove up to Pasadena with Zoso to see some altars people did at FolkTree's gallery. Both of us put names in the community altar to honor our deceased loved ones. The names people placed in the altar will be ceremoniously burned. Right after that we drove over to Olvera Street in L.A. for their traditional Day of the Dead celebration. For the non-L.A. folks Olvera Street is an old part of L.A. peopled with Mexican immigrants who've put together a wonderful and flourishing marketplace in an alleylike area. Saturday: Went to the closing reception for the Frida Kahlo exhibit at a Long Beach gallery, met a surrealist who discussed his painting of Frida. Headed over to the library to take care of some business and register Zoso for a show that we were planning to attend. My city's weird. Whenever the library has an event, you have to register to go and residents have priority over non-residents. Yeah, odd. Zoso's band had a show in Winchester. Drove out there with Rick, the rhythm guitarist. The show went over pretty well. Small crowd, but we had 7-year-olds moshing in the pit. Seriously. Went home and watched the 1962 version of Lolita. Sunday: Went to a Dia de los Muertos festival at Bowers Museum. They had this really cool and surreal display they put together. It's really hard to explain, but it was showing a dead couple going through the life they didn't get to have because they died before their wedding day. Everything was done up in black lights with lifesize paper-mache skeletons. Monday: Went to class, was picked up by Zoso and I drove to Borders to see Slash from Guns 'N' Roses do a signing. Left early, got lost on the way home and ended up in L.A. where we had dinner then raced home to watch Heroes. Will write more soon. The weekend after this upcoming one, as well as Thanksgiving weekend (the weekend after that) promises to be rather interesting with all the races to and from San Diego and then to and from Phoenix, Arizona.

Glad to see it was a petty enough message that warranted being posted twice in two different places. Your personal vendettas are not my business, but please try to take them somewhere off the board. EDIT: Comment changed due to change of comment it was in comment to. (Last edited by Rogue on 11-11-07 04:25 AM) (restricted) |

The WGA supporters are posting all over the web to boycott reality shows, especially since that's what the networks are airing and producing during the strike.

I was boycotting them before it was trendy. (restricted) | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
