I thoroughly enjoyed visiting your school's website. Thanks! :lol:
This!
I was puzzled about why dreamdead posted that, but then I clicked refresh a couple of times because the main story/picture cycles...I assume it was the "Hurray for Hollywood" that was referenced and seen?
I feel sad for Roddick. He really had a chance to win this.
So I got really sick yesterday, really really sick, and what was I doing right before I got sick? Well I was at the fourth of July celebration that I had to go to because of my grandma, and who was playing? The Jonas Brothers. So one could conclude...
I literally got sick from the Jonas Brothers.
I'm sitting in my office, and I swear to you something in the hall just made the R2D2 "Are you alright?" noise.

He was so passive when Federer was serving in that fifth set, and he just didn't have what it took to close things out. Perfect evidence was being up 6-1 in that second set tiebreaker. Letting that get away I thought was the end of the match. He was able to battle back, but whenever it counted, he couldn't put Federer away, and then it seemed like he was just waiting for Federer to lose the thing rather than trying to take it from him. It's a shame, but he certainly put up a much bigger fight that I thought he would.
I raced my cousin in the hallway of the hotel after my brother's wedding on Thursday. The carpet must have clung to the front of my sock, curling my toes under my foot, and promptly forcing me to face-plant.
At least I won the first race.

That would improve any Monday.
I actually tracked it down. It's an iPhone ap, or something.

this is somewhat movie related but more random thoughts oriented.
so i never understand the time paradox in around the world in 80 days. have been travel a lot, Thailand, Los Angeles, Europe, but never get it. can somebody explain this to me?

The international date line marks where the day ends and begins. If you cross that line moving forward, you've advanced a day, calendar-wise. If you cross that line moving backward, you've "lost" a day.
So despite the fact that it took him eighty-one actual days to cross the world, it only took eighty "calendar" days, because during that time, he traveled the circumference of the Earth backward.
but how can that work out if he goes back to the same spot, london? so the time should flow at the same rate for him as for anyone else, so his 81 days should be equal to their 81 regardless.

Firstly, I screwed up. He moved forward along the Earth, not backward.
So if you're heading east, think of how you have to add an hour to your clock for every time zone you pass. If you do that twenty-four times, you've essentially "lapped" the Earth.
So you're right, in that time was the same for him and the Londoners. But his perception, having advanced those twenty-four time zones, was that he was a full day past his deadline.
I've been meaning to cancel my Comcast for a while. Money's tight, and I just don't use it that often anymore. I watch Hulu all the time now, and since I already had to cut HBO, I don't get their programming anyway. But I just haven't yet.
Today I found out that by the end of the month, my neighborhood will have free community wi-fi, donated to us by Cisco. I'm going to check out how fast it is. If it's sufficient, I can finally get rid of Comcast altogether.
Movie Theater Diary
Here are my thoughts for the evening:
Talking about music is literally pointless. Videogames are closer to novels than they are to movies. Rating music is probably worse, from a moral standpoint, than rating any other media. Assigning numbers to things we like becomes more and more confusing to me the less I do drugs.
I suggest the alternative that the drugs you have done are responsible for these opinions. Although usually the moral righteousness that can come with sobering up is in the form of religion. Yours is a bit more confusing especially since stars/numbers are simply more precise representations of how bad/good/great we consider something. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your soul is tainted just like the rest of us.
I agree that they are more precise but that doesn't mean they are more accurate. I mean, language has its limits too, obviously, but it's a hell of a lot more versatile than numbers when it comes to expressing feelings on a subjective aesthetic experience. I can't see how numbers are anything but reductive, especially with something as abstract and personal as music.
As for drugs, I don't even know at this point. I've gone through so many phases of kicking/relapsing/kicking again (to borrow the chapter titles from Trainspotting) that, during my most recent bout of drug binging, I tried convincing myself that it didn't really make any difference whether or not I was on drugs, but that conviction did not last long. So here we go with sobriety again, I guess.
ah...i see. the guy actually adjust his watch based on the local time. thx!

How are videogames closer to novels? Tetris?
But seriously, the epic videogames follow just one character from beginning to end. Hardly anywhere close to a novel.
Well, they're both interactive. Beyond that, I'm not really sure what I was thinking when I said that.
You know, the more and more you post while high, the less and less I'm inclined to take any of what you say seriously.
For curiosity's sake, trotchky, how old are you?
