    What in blazes is going on here ... ?

    H'lo all.

    Blame Watashi (nice list lol).

    Just stopping by to say hello.

    Can't guarantee anything, so don't ask.

    Btw, this ritch: is the weirdest friggin smiley ever. It's like an abusive couple throwing each other into the walls of their shitteous apartment before hurling themselves into a vigorous round of angry sex.

    So how are you all?

    I've been fine but busy. I'm at the tail end of my master's degree work in public history (there's an "L" in there, you pervs) and after that I dunno. The problem is that I want too many things. I'm learning how to play piano/keyboard and really enjoying it. I envision a future where I have a reg'lar 9-5er, with some moonlighting work on the side playing somewhere and also doing freelance writing for a magazine (cause me write well). Obviously that's slightly packed as far as dayplanners go. So I dunno. Too many things I want to do.

    Glad to see you all are still talkin film. It's still a big part of my life, but other things intrude now and then, like the above mentioned work, writing, or playing.

    How are you KF?

    See now here is the creepy old man watching the angry, abusive couple throwing themselves around their apartment.

    Glorious.

    Yeah, I'm aghast myself. I bobbed on over to RT the last few days cause I'm home for Thanksgiving and actually have some spare time. Been plenty of moments in the last few .... years.... where I thought of RT people, could never seem to find the right time to do something. Mostly, I knew that I might get drawn back into it all, and I just didn't want it to consume me again, especially during an important part of my edumacation.

    Hiya sxotty. I still remember that phone call. That was amusing. Hope your career is doing well and that you're happier than you used to be about this and that.

    I'll see what the morrow brings.

    Right now I'm cold and it hurts to type. So goodnight.

    Yeah, I'm doing alright. I've been a producer in television news now for a little more than a year and going on more than two years at this current station. It can be a little bit of everything: fun, obnoxious, aggravating. Here's our website. Type in "Fairbanks" to get a look at a current sample of my writing. Not exactly film reviews like I wanted to do, but I am writing for a living.

    I've also been living on my own for nearly a year now. It's alright, but incredibly lonely at times. Had some excitement a few months ago when a tree came crashing my roof and then someone helped themselves to some of my DVDs when I was out for repairs.

    Really don't make it to RT anymore on any kind of regular basis. I figured I'd one day stop going there, but was kind of surprised at how suddenly it happened.

    By the way, here's a recent picture of me from a recent trip to Arizona.

    Hell, Wryan was around RT when I signed up there like 6 years ago. His avatar was an amusing, somewhat retarded penguin from a comic (I think) whose name I can't remember. Truly old school.

    Was the penguin at least vaguely phallic?

    If so, welcome Wryan!

    Wryan. Omigod. We must have babies together so that a part of you will never physically disappear.

    Good to see you around Wryan. I'm in a similar boat, juggling education, work and my film obsession, but sometimes the latter still gets the best of me.

    Doing very well. Kids and work take up most of my time, so I don't watch nearly as many films as I used to, which is probably a good thing.

    The av was Opus, and he's a penguin. It's true though, it's far too weird seeing you post without him. Here's one I whipped up for you. Feel free to tell me it sucks and not use it.

    Cool man. Glad your career's doin alright. How high on the producer totem pole are you? Calling any major shots? Sorry to hear about the tree and the DVDs (!?). A big bank of mist didn't roll in after the tree came through your window did it? Hope not. Nice Arizona photograph. Hope the trip was fruitful, or at least relaxing.

    Somewhat retarded!? Holee sheet! Opus is a lovable doofus but he certainly has.......uh.......most of his faculties. At least give him that.

    Lol why did you choose Zac Efron as your name? Did you used to go by something else?

    Nice to hear about the kids. Hope you don't go too insane.

    Nice av, but all that open space on the sides kinda freaks me out. He's so .... lonely. Will my old square (100x100 I think?) avatar fit?

    Yeah, good call. I thought there'd be a lot better selection by just typing in Opus the penguin on Google. The old one will work if you trim it down to 90. The dimensions are 160 x 90.
