sure, whaddya want on it? this is research for a media culture class i'm now taking. looking at gender roles in the international sci-fi scene (had a thread about it in film/tv). this paper is due tues, and i just decided to include GitS as part of a presentation i'm giving, along with the paper. the one good thing about film school, i tells ya. writin' about movies.

Sounds like a fun class. All I write are programs and on occasion a paper about a literary work. What fun!

"We're sorry, your code has 13 errors in it"

Gah!!

ooh, i couldn't handle that shit. i left graphic design for film (i dunno, some sort of mid-college crisis...). rest assurd that someday, trij, you will earn a paycheck. me? i will be living on welfare, partly supplied by the taxes from your paycheck. i think it's a win-win situation.
 
 
Trijhaos
01:33 / 28.04.02
I damn well better be earning a paycheck. Computer Science Major, Mathematics minor, and hopefully a teaching certificate, one of those has to get me a job.

I on occasion think I might have chosen the wrong major. Perhaps I shoud have gone for journalism or something. I mean I can write a paper in an hour and get a B, think of what I could do if I actually put some effort into it.

You should think positively. You know, you'll go on to be a big Hollywood Director or something and make lots of money.

LOL!!! well, thanks for the support, pal. i'm really not as pessimistic as i appear to be--in real life or on the net. i actually love my major. i lied when i said there was "one good thing" about it; no one has as much fun "working" as film majors. it's like a second freakin' childhood. i have no right to be pessimistic about that. i left my experience in design behind to try something i always wanted to do. that's its own reward. and now i'm thinking about minoring in philosophy. christ, i'm turnin' hippie.
 
 
Trijhaos
01:48 / 28.04.02
Minoring in philosophy? Nothing wrong with that. At least your major isn't going to make you turn into some alcoholic loner that growls at anybody that approaches.
 
 
Utopia
01:51 / 28.04.02
no, i'm not getting into animation (there's a simpsons reference somewhere in there).

and there's nothin' wrong with either major, except for the fact that their not standard job skills. but that's cool...i'm hitting a stride in my life known as gleeful apathy. whatever, man. or maybe i'm just high.
 
 
Trijhaos
01:54 / 28.04.02
Standard job skills? Hah! What are those? Brown-nosing and ass-kissing?
 
 
Utopia
01:58 / 28.04.02
ball licking and toe-nail cutting! shit man, i need to release some of the stress in my life. i think i'm gonna throw furniture out the window. all in good fun
 
 
Trijhaos
02:02 / 28.04.02
Go for it! Don't strain any muscles though. Some of the couches out there are pretty heavy.
 
 
Utopia
02:04 / 28.04.02
oh, not the ones i got! 12 stories down to cee-ment. hoo-hah!

sorry to butt in here, but i'd just like to say it's 4 am where i am and i am soooo tired of not being able to sleep. for god's sake tell me a joke!
 
 
Trijhaos
02:06 / 28.04.02
Just make sure there aren't any people under your window when you toss the furniture out. Unfortunately, real life isn't like cartoons where all they'd get is a goosebump.

A joke huh?

Once there was a man from Nantuckett......no no nevermind, that's a limerick.

Oh here.

A blonde goes into an appliance store looking for a tv. After a few minutes, she picks one out and approaches the salesman.

"I want to buy this television," she says. The salesman replies, "Sorry, we don't serve blondes here." She gets mad, leaves and goes home.

She dyes her hair brown and returns to the store. "I want to buy this television." she says to the salesman. Despite her new hair color, she gets the same response: "Sorry miss, we don't serve blondes here." She leaves again, frustrated.

She goes home and proceeds to shave her head, eyebrows and all, leaving no visible trace of blonde hair on her head. Upon returning to the store, she once again approaches the salesman. "Sir, I would like to purchase this television, and I don't want any problems." To which the salesman replies, "Sorry Miss, we don't serve blondes."

Fed up with this, she cries, "How can you tell that I am blonde? I have dyed my hair and even resorted to shaving my head!" To which the salesman replied, "Well, Miss, that television you are trying to buy is a microwave!"

why thank you! - you've just inspired me to go back to bed...... !!

i was thinking of a joke, but instead i was lead down a path to one of the most honest and profound moments of my life:

last fall, i was in a really shitty comedy club in philly. it was amateur night. some dopey big-eared white boy gets up on stage, and in true idiot fashion, gives the old familiar "y'know what the best part of having sex with a six year old is? how big my dick looks in her little hand." i know, not funny. maybe when i was 16, but not now. anyway, the part that really stands out, what i'll always remember, after he said his joke, a woman in the crowd yelled up "that's not funny!" the boy just calmly looked back at her, stood his ground and replied "but when you think about it. it really is."

that stubborness, that obnoxiousness. i respect that. reminded me that no matter what, even if you know you're wrong, just laugh at the tanks barreling down on you. sorry, SFD, but that's all i got.

I hope that joke didn't inspire her to go back to bed out of disgust. I just copied and pasted the first joke I found.
 
 
Utopia
02:24 / 28.04.02
it's probably a good thing that she left before reading mine...
 
 
Trijhaos
02:27 / 28.04.02
I wish I could find this one funny joke list I found awhile back. It was something like "how to become a writer in ten steps". I know I saved it on disk, but that's alot of disks to go through.

>asleep at keyboard<

hu--huh, what, who woke me up?!
 
 
Trijhaos
02:37 / 28.04.02
Asleep at the keyboard? One would say that you're spending a bit too much time on the computer at night, if you're falling asleep at the keyboard.

I fell asleep at the keyboard earlier on. Only problem being I'm at work, and that kind of thing's generally frowned on. Anyone still awake? Or up very early?

Black olive and onion. Drop by in about 20 minutes becuase I have to be up at 6 am for work tomorrow to.

My Favorite Joke Of All Time:

These three professional wrestlers were holding an intellectual conversation. Eventually they had to put it down because their arms got tired.

08:32 / 28.04.02
well i should've kept quiet and just kept an eye on the trijhaos and utopia double act. but hey i got maybe 3 hours' sleep after that joke, so i really *am* grateful.

and my favourite joke of all time is really dodgy and incredibly childish, so i'm not going to put it here. after all, i have a reputation to uphold.

Is everyone really working?
*incredulous*

Or, inadvertantly, did SFD become......


Thread Killah!!!!!

(Apparently not, as I'm here, aren't I?

Zoom.

This thread will never die; not as long as there are weekends.

I've been popping on here every few hours, but it seems to be fairly dead.

Haven't you heard? Weekends have now been officially cancelled. We now have a long Friday and a long Monday.

so get to work, you slackers, yer late
 
 
Trijhaos
19:50 / 28.04.02
What?! No weekends! The horror!
 
 
Shortfatdyke
19:53 / 28.04.02
i am not working. well i've been writing, but that's my *vocation*. it's not the same. and i just booked my flight to berlin. huzzah!

hope i didn't injure the thread earlier. i hate doing that.
 
 
Trijhaos
19:57 / 28.04.02
It was just a scratch.

I just can't get over this news. No weekends.

Oh well. I don't need some special days to slack off, I can do it just as well Monday through Friday.

I am home. I have not had the chance for a shower in two days, I have no clean clothes now and my house is a mess...I left the staff who is working the evening shift tonight alone (but he's VERY competent) and feel a bit guilty about it but to be honest I don't have a whole lot left in me. The thing about working at a group home is that every resident there is wanting something from you...

Anyway. I'm home and doing laundry. Tonight I will go get a pizza and watch crappy TV.

The cancelled weekends are fine by me. I have Monday's off anyway.

Yeah! Who's the Daddy?

Oh, it's Zoom.

Zoom.
 
 
Trijhaos
00:02 / 29.04.02
The weekend can't be canceled. I won't allow it. Using my ultra super secret powers, I will turn back time, dominate the will of whoever canceled weekends and force him or her to change the silly thing.
