Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

I'm up for a while, washing clothing and getting ready for a week's trip to Northern Minnesota for a training I will promptly pay no attention to the minute I'm done with it.

Northern Minnesota is my version of a fresh hell.

Mazarine

04:33 / 15.08.05

Could be worse. Could be winter.

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

04:34 / 15.08.05

I suppose. But if it were winter, I'd have a reason to hide in my hotel room and build a fort out of pillows and comforters.

Jake, Colossus of Clout

04:37 / 15.08.05

You have my sympathies. Northern Minnesota makes Downeast Maine look positively cosmopolitan.

Mazarine

04:49 / 15.08.05

Mmm. And it makes Raleigh-Durham look like Athens on its best day, I reckon.

Mazarine

05:03 / 15.08.05

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Sleep on your sides, everyone.

Jake, Colossus of Clout

05:17 / 15.08.05

I'm off thataway, myself. Sleep well, everybody.

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

05:17 / 15.08.05

I'm off to bed too. "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice."

Anyone shifting? I've just got back from the pub where I had some nice drinks with (the most wonderful) Lilly and TangoMango... I'm about to embark on my traditional Stoatie's Bi-Weekly Horror Movies And Booze Shenanigans Monday... tonight it's the original Dawn Of The Dead.

What YOU bin up to?

Jake, Colossus of Clout

23:35 / 15.08.05

Not lateshifting here, but my ass is planted in front of the ballgame, I'm perusing Barbelith, and I'm drinking beer, so I might as well be.

What horror flicks you watching, Stoatie?

Jake, Colossus of Clout

23:36 / 15.08.05

D'oh. Dawn of the Dead. I'm a halfwit.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:40 / 15.08.05

Nah, you ain't no halfwit. Earlier this evening I had a great conversation with an old flatmate of mine (not the mad one about whom I'm always whingeing) about horror movies, and he's a TOTAL horror movie fan (and about ten years younger than me... I think he must be the next generation) and he kept getting his Romero movies confused...

No halfwit is you. "Less sad and geeky than Stoatie", maybe.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:41 / 15.08.05

Well, unless you actually are a halfwit. But you've given no evidence of that so far!

Triplets

23:46 / 15.08.05

I'm watching STEALTH at the moment, the first film to answer the question: what if you gave Skynet a jet?

The answer isn't good. Not good at all!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:47 / 15.08.05

Is the movie any good? It looked shit yet fun from the trailers...

Jake, Colossus of Clout

23:49 / 15.08.05

Well, I personally don't think so, anyway. I do live in rural Maine, though, so it's not hard to feel smart in comparison. For example, in the last bar I worked at, these two gentlemen started pounding the shit out of each other because one drove a Ford and the other drove a Chevy. It's easy to feel like a really sharp guy when you're surrounded by people like that.

On horror flicks- I TiVoed Candyman: Day of the Dead recently, having loved the original. Seen it? Worth watching?

Triplets

23:49 / 15.08.05

It's pretty shit, yet fun. I'm about half an hour into it and all I've learned is that they give out crap nu-rock to everyone in the Navy. Even the deathputers.

Triplets

23:50 / 15.08.05

Counterpoint: plenty of stuff is explodey!

Sekhmet

23:52 / 15.08.05

Nobody loves me anymore except my pets. Can I hang out with you guys?

Triplets

23:53 / 15.08.05

Guys, I have a quick girl-related question I need some input on and probably someone to smack some sense into me. Any of youse up for a quick PM?

Triplets

23:56 / 15.08.05

Sure you can hang out! How was your day, Sekh?

You could watch STEALTH with me, this is really one of those Mystery Science Theatre movies you need a co-buddy to take the piss out of with. No, I won't wake him up.

I won't.

It's not that bad.

Resiiiiist.

Sekhmet

23:56 / 15.08.05

Do you want a guy's perspective, or a girl's perspective?

... or a gender-neutral, gender-confused, bi-gendered or gender-crossed perspective?

Barbelith is here for you...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:57 / 15.08.05

Go for it... my lovelife's generally disastrous, though, so I may not be the best option...

Jake, Colossus of Clout

00:03 / 16.08.05

Triplets- have you seen the nu-metal Navy commercials? Accelerate your life?

I'm up to give advice, if needed.

Triplets

00:08 / 16.08.05

I've just pm'd Stoatington and Sekh.

Jake... I'm a Brit, I've not been exposed to such... horror.

Jake, Colossus of Clout

00:16 / 16.08.05

You're totally missing out. Go to www.navy.com. The nu-metal ad starts as soon as you get there. Treat yourself.

Tryphena Absent

00:18 / 16.08.05

I want to help you with your girl problem but mostly because I'm curious about what it is, which is probably a bad reason to help.

Hellllooooooo Lateshift!

Also singing men. I neeeeddddddd mmmoooorrreeeeee. This is fast becoming an addiction.

Sekhmet

00:19 / 16.08.05

My reply is en route, Triplets.

Now I feel like part of the community and stuff.

Best I could do on short notice, Nina.

00:25 / 16.08.05

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

If people who asked me for advice could only see the way I live, I'm sure they wouldn't. That said, I think I'm better at giving advice than taking it. I KNOW exactly what to do to make my life (and, indeeed, everyone else's) great... I just can't be arsed most of the time. I'm like the shittest Buddha ever.

Sekhmet

00:25 / 16.08.05

Hello Anna!

Triplets

00:26 / 16.08.05

Replies read. To say you two are of two minds would be putting it mildly.

This is why I love the Barb, and thank you, guys

I feel all ego-boosty and rowr now.
