Did you watch Whale Rider?

Pai's speech dedicated and about her Koro...

I cry every single time. Like sobbing crying. Snot and hanky crying.

Justifiably so.

Also with the "fledgling new to flight" part later on (to keep it vague and hopefully not too spoiler-y).

I'm watching it again now. I was pressing and pressing and pressing play on the blueray player remote and it wouldn't play. So I changed the batteries and it still wouldn't play. So I pressed the middle circle thing and it worked. Makes zero sense to me. You'd think by pressing play the disk would actually play. Stupid remote.
 
The bit when they're all out trying to save the whales and Rawiri says, "Where's Pai?" And then Pai's nanny yells "Where's my moko? (grandchild)"

Oh my gosh. More crying.
 
Noooo! What I meant by "experiencing it yourself" was it'd be better if you actually hopped on a plane and go to New Zealand and experience it first hand. The next best thing is books and movies from NZ. Books and movies that paint a picture of how Maori people roll. The culture, a bit of background. I didn't mean do not to look the words up if you need to along the way lol.

A better experience than just a few sentences and a quick translation, you know? That's what I meant by pulling the fun out of it.

Okay, I will do that then. It is short, I'll reread.
 
omg, I didn't! That is awesome! :D Thank you for sharing that. Makes me want to watch that one again.

Just for Perlman. Shaved head, dirty, shoulder width, barrel chest, that fucking voice, leather vest... *stares off*

I know they are goofy movies...I STILL just love them. Ellen Ripley is a great character.

I was raiding the writer's resource blog on tumbles and I found this. I usually use OneLook Dictionary's Reverse Dictionary but this looks legit.

*leaves it like a dead bird on Reci's doorstep*

I love my dead bird!

I'd be more impressed if said dead bird knew that chi - ity was chirality...

It couldn't unscramble I Am Lord Voldemort into Tom Marvolo Riddle... That is kinda hard. More of a phrase.

Word meaning - icky is soft and sticky. I did not know that.

Like anything, not perfect but it seemed useful to supplement word searches when you brain fart really bad. Sometimes, I go to OneLook and I'm looking for a word like "sinister" but not sinister, no, this word feels like sinister but actually has a "ch-" or "cr-" sound and it goes in this sentence I am writing. Look up sinister and look at the similar words list and none of those fit; double check the meaning of sinister. Okay, so, it's not like sinister at all. It's more the feeling response to something sinister, like dread, but not dread. Etc.

Just found it neat and thought you might think so too. :rose:

I made a new folder for it in writing tools, because it does look very cool and there are lots of times when I struggle.

For some reason my brain seems to think that telling me how many syllables the word I'm trying to think of is enough retrieval for one day.

Then probably a letter that is definitely in there somewhere.

Then I will think of something and KNOW It is wrong but my brain is too busy being smug about excellent filing systems.

It will help.

...ugly...crying...

I've seen Cliff Curtis in a lot of stuff.

Thank you for the recommendation, never would have seen it otherwise.
 
What's it worth?

As a resource it gathers interest at an rate of < 2% annually, and as a commodity its based on the tax revenue for the area? So, i'm guaranteed my initial investment in 15yrs!

But what about depreciation?
 
I depreciate school work, housework, and pretty much anything that sounds like work...especially on a Saturday.

And that is my contribution to today.

I am up at 5 am to work on a Sunday.

I would like this sort of depreciation.
 
Because it is so very stuck in my head.

"Talk Nerdy To Me"

I hear Ulaven singing "Up, up, down, down, forward, back, A, B
You don't need a cheat code, girl to get with me" and I crack up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO6eydRPpyU

Tell me what game that you get on, is it COD or EVE?
What kind of class do you play girl, in an RPG?
Cuz I know what them elf girls need, from WOW to M.E. (Middle Earth)
Im goin 30 hours online straight now…
You make it hard to leave

Your elf ears don't need explainin'
All I really need for you to do is…just … please
Talk nerdy to me

Get nerdy wit me
You name all twelve of the Docs, I can't resist that
And what's the core in your wand? I think that ours match
Cuz I know, with me, you'd get sort, Durmstrang to Hogwarts
Im pretty sure, on me, you've cast a curse girl, the imperius one?

to comic-con, hope you speak my language
Your Harley Quinn don't need explainin
All I really need for you to do is…just … please
Talk nerdy to me

Uno, met a girl at E3
Dos, she wanted all my XP
Tres, My 64 makes her want me
Cuatro, Oooohhhhhh)

(back ground shout: "One Ring!")

Up, up, down, down, forward, back, A, B
You don't need a cheat code, girl to get with me
Just add my clan tag, bring your high K/D,
Cuz the headshots we'll be makin will be toppin the team
Or Magic the gatherin, Deck on Deck,
You like Twilight? Ya, I aint touchin your neck
I got nerd friends, but they're friends with respect
I can call up Iron Man without breakin a sweat!

And I wanna hear your issues, ya, Im talking about your comics,
Cuz the fact of the matter, aint no girl badder than a girl that talks on electronics,
And for us to get along just tell me Lucas got it wrong,
Cuz clearly in Star Wars the first shot was made by Han. (Snap!)

the Enterprise, now I speak the language
Your warp drive don't need explainin
All I really need for you to do is…just … please
Talk nerdy to me
 
Tom Hardy being a flawless human being.

I don't really see how this is a feminist thing, but the preponderance of women is a problem for some.

The story is more about slavery and meritocracy than feminism.

“Good for you,” Charlize says to Tom.
