The Golden CompassCategory: 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

(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!

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.

Home From The HolidaysCategory: 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.

I have only three stages
drink, drank, drunk
it is the only way to navigate this god damned holiday. *spit*
Stage 4 is where you murder people? I don't get it. :?
1. Disgust at ever earlier decorations (Aug-Oct.)
2. Indifference (Nov.)
3. Fearing the double whammy where everything's closed and there's nothing on TV but christmas specials (Early Dec.)
4. Buy a video game that I can realistically play for the next 24 hours (x-mas eve).
5. Lock myself away in my apartment for the next 24 hours and have no contact with the outside world (Dec. 25)
6. Reflect on having succesfully passed yet another test of my faith (Dec. 26)
Contrary to popular legend, I've never actually had Chinese on Christmas (although it's on my to-do list).
I think for me, it goes:
Grumbling, blood, drinking, acceptance, cheer.
But you definitely nailed the 5 stages.
And now, back to work.
