The Golden Compass
Category: culture
The Golden Compass is coming out soon, and I can't wait to see it. Anyone up for going as an (e:strip) gang? Just watch out for those atheistic overtones, you might want to keep small children away lest they be corrupted.

Me and (e:inscrutable) want to see it, too.

i watched the preview without sound and it still looks pretty nifty.

side note: armored polar bears reminds me of an old rumpleminz advertizement with a really hot chick riding a polarbear and they were both in a drunken rage.....

anyway this movie looks pretty neat!
jim - 11/27/07 21:32
I added a preview for the movie inline to my post.
james - 11/27/07 21:05
It is fantastic Janelle. A fantasy retelling of Paradise Lost... WITH ARMORED POLAR BEARS!!!!
janelle - 11/27/07 18:28
I want to be corrupted! I am definitely interested in seeing the movie. I've read a little about it so it's piqued my curiousity.

E:Strip Holiday Dinner
Category: estrip
Welcome to this week's reminder post for the (E:Strip) Holiday Dinner, to be held on December 13th ( a Thursday), at 24 Linwood. Graciously hosted by (e:Matthew), (e:Paul), and (e:Terry).

If you can come, please bring a dish, leave a comment with what you'd like to volunteer to make or buy. There is still plenty of time to decide, I'll post every 4 or 5 days between now and the week of the party just to keep things moving.

Hope to see you all there!

I know estrippers are adventurous. Hehehehe :)
tinypliny - 11/28/07 21:13
If I make it, most probably it will be an ultra spicy evil potato street food which originated from the salt marshes of West India and got modified by the North.
tinypliny - 11/28/07 21:10
ooops sorry, for a moment there, I thought this was (e:Matthew)'s journal. I talked to Matthew, Terry and (e:Flaccidness) about it today. It's about a 50-50 chance for me.
tinypliny - 11/28/07 21:08
As I said, save a place on the floor for me. I will bring my own carpet.
fellyconnelly - 11/27/07 23:06
you can make ME a frozen dander smoothie james
james - 11/27/07 21:04
drat! I make a lovely frozen dander smoothie!
mike - 11/27/07 20:37
(e:james) just so you know, oddly enough (e:paul) isn't allergic to cat dander when baked in cookies or tossed in a salad as long as the dander is fresh that is. Frozen dander he is always allergic too!
matthew - 11/27/07 19:39
Oh oh oh! I'll bring the house! ...and the furniture. :) But seriously, let me know when you have a general headcount so i can arrange tables and chairs. Hope a bunch of you (e:strip)pers can make it! (and because someone asked earlier) Children are always welcome at our house.
james - 11/26/07 23:25
I was going to make something with cat dander, but Paul is allergic!

12 people came, so I am pretty happy. Next one is in early January. :)
james - 11/26/07 20:35
Hope the meeting is going well.

ANd Tiny, you are the best stalker. If you ever want a lock of hair or an article of clothing let me know and I will sneak it out to you.
tinypliny - 11/26/07 18:59
It's a good sign you are somewhat smiling through your worries?

  • in limited-to-stalkers-only enthusiastic voice*
You got a haircut!!! :)

Home From The Holidays
Category: family
Well we got back last night from our long weekend away at (e:James)' family's house. Nice relaxing weekend, definitely feel better after talking some time off and away from the computer. It's a bit weird that I never see my family anymore, what with James' family being so much closer to us then my Dad, we tend to spend all the holidays at his family's. And then the extended family I still have in Buffalo, I never see at holidays because we're out of town. Hoping to get out west soon though, and reconnect with my relatives here in town.

On the other hand, I had intended to get at least *some* work done to keep this week from being too insane, but I had no cell reception and wasn't able to connect my laptop to the wifi in their house. Grrr. They live just outside of the NYC area, in Putnam county, and I don't understand why they have no cell reception. It's just housing for as far as the eye can see. No idea why the wifi wasn't working though, pain in the ass, that.
tinypliny - 11/26/07 18:58
Welcome home!! :)
