I'm here! I just finished posting about my new obsession in the Spank thread. Just a guitarist I've known about for a good 23 years but never once paid a single ounce of attention to.

Thanks for your recent text. Miss you and Zooey and the others I haven't talked to in ages, and hope you're well! Also, yay awesome election result! I was so tired at work the next day.

Hang in there...spring will be back before we know it.

I left here a few months ago because I didn't really like the direction the thread had taken...there was a bitchiness that hadn't been present earlier. And i know that's the reason some other old timers don't post, too. But you know what? Bri and Dis may have started the thread, but I followed (I Will Follow, heh) only a few weeks later, and I helped build it, along with many others. So no matter what, I doubt I'll leave completely, I'll still pop in from time to time to talk to old friends. In the meantime, I'm on Twitter, and you have my number and email address.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I actually smiled upon seeing you pop in here, VP ! Been some time indeed-sorry to hear about some of the things that seem to have put you off, but hope you do still manage to pop in as often as you can/want to, though, even if just to say hi.

I may have to rent it soon, just to be able to watch it again.

Sounds like a good plan.

I know! It's amazing how much Disney got away with even until early 2000s, but they can't get it past kid-censors nowadays!

Like Beauty & The Beast, The Lion King, The Hunchbck of Notre Dame... people talk about how innocent Disney was/is, but have they ever actually thought about where those tales came from?

YES. Inspired by a lot of fairy tales of old, and those stories did not fuck around. They were often creepy and tragic and warning us against the evils of the world, no "happily ever after"s here! I seem to recall reading a version of "The Little Mermaid" as a kid that ended with the mermaid...staying above ground, I think, but losing the use of her legs, or something like that, so she just had to sit and watch from afar as the man she loved went off to be happy elsewhere. Very depressing story.

In some ways I kind of like it that children's movies/stories don't sugarcoat things for kids sometimes. I definitely get why parents are wary of children's entertainment that does things like that, because of how scary and sad it can be and all that, but hell, given the way some kids actually do grow up, this can't be any worse than what some of them tragically encounter in the real world. Plus, done right, a movie or book dealing with these issues can show they trust a child's intelligence and ability to handle tougher subject matter.

I want that book. It's freaking $88, though. He did an amazing photoshoot of Amy Winehouse, and that article says some of those pics are in the book...

Oooh, yeah, that's a steep price tag. Bummer. I hope you can manage to get it at some point, though, either as a gift or if you save up the money or something. I know that temptation, oh, believe me, I know.

I find it interesting that he crossed paths with Winehouse at one point, for some reason. But yeah, that would be quite the shoot to check out the results of, I'm sure.

I actually read, though didn't participate in, the FYM election thread. I let out a whoop of victory for all of us. Though I am an avid follower of Nate Silver, and having taken a shit ton of stats classed in uni, I completely get where he's coming from, and so wasn't concerned at all, till election night, and then I didn't relax till Ohio was called. I really enjoyed reading your posts though, and if you ever decide to join Twitter, I'm not hard to find.

And there's always Edge's photos in the future, too!

Have you ever read the original versions of Grimm's fairy tales? Those are some creepy stories!

Oooh, yeah, that's a steep price tag. Bummer. I hope you can manage to get it at some point, though, either as a gift or if you save up the money or something. I know that temptation, oh, believe me, I know.

I may get a used copy at some point off of B&N.com or BAM.com

Oh, cool, yeah, the discussion there was quite interesting at times. Figured you would approve of the results .

I heard about Florida fucking up again with its voting count and that just made me all the more apprehensive-I didn't follow Silver, really, and I had a feeling Obama would still win, but Romney got quite the uptick in support for a time there and some of the anti-Obama rhetoric was so strong, so the fear always hung in the back of my mind. It was around 9 pm or so on election night, I think, when I first thought, "Phew, okay, we'll be fine."

Silver's kind of the golden boy right now, isn't he? I'm not a statistics expert at all, but still, he sounds interesting and I may have to check him out a bit more, I think.

Thanks for the comment about my posts, and I'll certainly keep that in mind. Should I join Twitter I can't say I'd post much-who knows, we'll see, but I'd certainly be reading a lot of what you and anyone else I followed said.

I have to join fb in order to keerp up with some other people and part of my family!

I am, however, on that site, and been slowly working on remembering to post there a bit more often. So yes, join if you wish! We can perhaps try and chat a bit more regularly there or something.

Have you ever read the original versions of Grimm's fairy tales? Those are some creepy stories!

I probably have, yeah-I know I read some dark fairy tale stuff back when I was a kid, but it's been ages. Kinda curious to go hunt down a book of those kinds of stories again now, see it through adult eyes.

I may get a used copy at some point off of B&N.com or BAM.com

Ooh, there you go. Good idea . Good luck with the search for that!

I just went to the store and bought a Hostess Cherry Fruit Pie and ate the whole thing. I usually NEVER do that, but it was good.

Footie day and no sport channels

I NEED to find an Apple Pie. Anyone remember the pudding pies? God, they were so bad yet to good.

Hi VP. Welcome back. I think a lot of people have been busy.

 

[Galeongirl]

oi Grace

 

[GraceRyan]

oi Grace

You stop.....

 

[Galeongirl]

I what?

 

[U217]

TRUE FACT: Sometimes when I'm scrolling through, and I come to a Comet post of such lovely, lovely loveliness, I make a noise out loud that goes like, "hhhaaaaahhhhhoooooooohhhhhhhhhh."

And GR, I also bought an apple pie, but I'll give that one to the husband.


Missed VP.

 

[JJAsi]

found a better wifi spot here, managed to see the whole game without lag

 

[MsPurrl]

Oh, yeah--the chocolate pies!

As of now, there are over 17,000 active posts selling Twinkies on eBay. (Had to look )

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Really? That's...kind of weird.

Hostess chocolate pies are good stuff . As are their cherry ones.

I also really like the crusts-all nice and flaky and yummy.

There are even people selling the TAGS off the shelf that say Twinkies on it.

Twinkies =


Went to Apple today because my iPod wasn't always turning off. The guy went to give me my replacement iPod and that one had the same issue with the on/off button. So they sent their broken one in, ordered me a new one, and then sent me home with my broken one. My new one should arrive sometime this week and then I'll have to go back to the store to exchange. The issue here is, and the guy was kind of laughing at my reaction, it probably won't get to the store until Friday because they're closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday. So yeah. If I want my new iPod I might have to go into the Apple store on BLACK FRIDAY My iPod works just fine so I can still use it this week at the gym. The problem with it is I can't always get it to turn off when I want to so sometimes it's still playing and then the battery dies so then the next day I'll get to the gym and it's dead. It took me a few weeks to figure out that it wasn't turning off and that's why I was having to charge it so often. I do have another iPod that I use with my alarm clock that I could use it for the gym if needed but it's an older Nano without the clip so I'd have to carry it. Not sure I want to hold something while running.

I know I'm a little late to the "Let's Talk about Hostess" party...but I actually live near a Hostess plant (and went there once on a field trip. I remember because I took home a mini loaf of Wonder Bread). I feel bad for those employees working there.

 

[TaraCynara]

I'm gonna miss Chocodiles.

 

[bonocomet]

I remember those mini Wonder Bread loaves! I got one too. They were so cute.
