There are some things you never tell anyone (except Bluebell).

Fixed your post.

Seriously, 16" is too much.

I would like to become a tabula rasa. That way, everything would seem new again.

 

[damppanties]

Like what?

(and hell no I will not fluff your damn pillow first!)

Like...stuff.

Why not?

Fixed your post.

You're awake at weird times but you never come online and talk to me. You hate me.

An hour to go.

Really don't care for anything about Christian Bale's portrayal of Batman. His portrayal of Bruce Wayne is only marginally better. Unlike previous actors in the role, he doesn't have the luscious mouth necessary to make that mask/hood look good. And his gruff Batman voice is just corny-laughable.

The boy Bruce Wayne was sniveling & creepy looking and evoked NO sympathy in this viewer.

Katie Holmes is not believable as... intelligent, and she really should get her teeth fixed if she wants leading lady status. Lauren Hutton can pull off a "flaw" like that, 'cause she's got style/class. On Katie, it just makes her look cheap.

Michael Caine's Alfred was okay, but I liked Michael Gough much better.

Best performances, IMO, were Cillian Murphy (when NOT being Scarecrow), Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman.

Damned good Wikipedia article on Frank Zappa:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa

I admit it; as an adolescent, Zappa just didn't make it on to my radar screen. Part of the reason was that I was (and have always been) a curmudgeon ( I was born old ). When he first rose to prominence, I mistakenly wrote him off as one more idiot hippie rocker ( I couldn't have been more wrong ). In a sense, Frank and I shared the same prejudice: both of us thought most hippies were essentially zombie-idiots.

Zappa's persistence, experimentation with a multitude of musical genres, gradual permeation of mainstream consciousness and my eclectic musical tastes happily coincided when I gave him a second chance in the late '80s. Thank goodness.

"Peaches En Regalia," "Willie the Pimp," "Camarillo Brillo," "I'm the Slime," "Montana," "Dinah-Moe-Hum," and "Zomby Woof" are all aural treats. The body of Zappa's work ranks right up there with Beethoven, Wagner, Enya, Stravinsky, John Williams, the Doors, the Beatles, Miles Davis, the Who, Aaron Copland, Jimi Hendrix, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Stan Rogers, Leonard Bernstein, Mark O'Connor, Art Blakey and the rest of the pantheon.

Check your Yim.
Yes, I absolutely hate you. Which is why I got my first ever speeding ticket while coming to visit.
(And also why I'm assembling a kick-ass Christmas package for you...which may or may not get there in time.)
Yep. Makes perfect sense to me.

Yes, this. Thank you for saying it. Drives me up the frickin' wall.
Have you seen The Prestige, your Impness?

sicky insecure.

Need my analogue

Not yet. I'm sure Bel will "expose me" to it eventually, in his quest to ensure I'm enlightened.

You can do that on Lit.

Become an alt and be a virgin again for a few posts.

But as yourself? You can't erase your past without changing who you have become. You CAN alter your future by remembering your mistakes and avoiding repetition. Each week try to do at least one thing you've never done before (that isn't illegal, fattening and doesn't frighten the horses).

While I am not a Bale fan, I do love both Batman movies and The Prestige (though I like that one more for Cain and Jackman). That's some fine movie making right there.

I just got finished watching Hancock. Everyone seemed to be complaining about the second half of the movie, but I liked it all the way through. Very enjoyable. I won't be purchasing my own copy of it, but I won't mind watching it repeatedly when it arrives on cable TV.

Boring can be productive if you allow plot bunnies to invade your mind.

I once spent three days watching the tide rise against a sea wall and recording its height ever ten minutes on a calibrated scale. The sea wall was in a town with no shop, no alcohol dispensing establishment, and virtually no life.

I spent the time inventing limericks.

Oh ! I didn't tell you ! Sorry, no imagination here ... Probably part of the problem. If I had, I would spend a good time in my head.

What's a limerick ?

Ooh. Christmas pressie.

I've bumped this thread to show what limericks are.

Enjoy.

Did you really do that ? If yes did you see a pattern ?

Thanks love that thread. It makes me smile (which is welcome today)

I wonder if finding a confessional and just pouring out everything to a faceless voice would help at all?

Yes. Tidewatching is part of hydraulic surveying.

Changes in the sea bed around a port can be revealed by recording the rate at which a tide rises and falls at a specific point - if the measurements are fanatically accurate and repeated over decades. I only did it once. The professionals do it constantly.
