Compare the time of my post and the time of the second testimonial.

Yeah, that was the part that made me avoid the movie for so long. My son told that they didn't really show anything gross during that part (I was hiding my eyes behind a blanket just in case my son was trickin' me).

I guessed pretty early on about the "dead" guy in the middle of the room. I hate it when I guess stuff. I want to be surprised too, damn it!

I also guessed about Identity 20 minutes into it, damn me!

I also saw Kingdom of Heaven the last night, I enjoyed the movie.

And change. Hmmm. I'm not exactly sure what needs to change yet. I just know that change is needed. So, I'm looking into job changes, place changes, changes in how I spend my free time, etc. We'll see when the changes start happening . . .

War and Peace. It speaks for itself.

Let's just say I HATE American Airlines.

I'm happy you liked the pic. Some peeps didn't....

I have never been to San Diego ... but I have heard a lot of good things about the place.

The bed's too big w/out you.

hi! i cant think of any questions. umm, what do you like better: tacos or burritos?

Burritos for sure! My favorite restaurant in the world is called Burrito Factory.

for you: whats your favorite candy?

Hehe Well, uh.. I guess my work here is done!

So far the orchids have not displayed any aggressive behaviour, but I will be watchful.

I read "The Human Stain" (actually the first Roth book I read). I found it more accessible than "American Pastoral", perhaps because it is more based in events and less in introspection on the part of the protagonist. But they're both good. Haven't read the others yet.

I'll take a look for "Glory". I read "Lolita" years ago, but haven't read anything else by Nabokov. Like you say, authors must hate that. I guess it happens in any field, though... one of the profs in our department is most famous for a paper which he considered a trivial side issue, almost unrelated to his *interesting* work. But it turned out to be useful, so everybody reads that one and nobody reads his other stuff (which he considers better and more interesting). Same in music, etc... On the plus side, it gives you an opportunity to discover a whole side of somebody that most people don't know exists, which can be fun.

The Big D is coming along, but slowly. I need to narrow my focus until I can't think about anything else, but I'm not having much luck. Know any magic tricks for increasing one's powers of concentration?

I liked Pirsig's take on prescriptive rhetoric... that it's all about trying to communicate clearly and convincingly, and with "kwality" (whatever that might be). As you say, if nobody followed grammar rules, anybody would nobody sentences else's understand.

I saw previews of the movie the other night .. gonna see this one for sure. Thanks for replying also. Done some climbing been awhile though.

looks interesting

never used the contact button
never had an "email" relationship

you are a cool cat

id rather just post to people on here....the email function is more for personal stuff.

I think I would go with the bangs. And the flowers make me smile, too.

Ha! Mr. Know-It-All. I don't even know what I'm going to do in the next hour.

Nah, not S&M... not really my thing. I just want somebody who will say what she wants, clearly and honestly, and who is happy to make decisions about things if I don't have a preference (and negotiate frankly if we both have preferences). There are a few reasons. One is that there are a lot of things I don't care much about: do I want to go out for dinner, or eat at home? Doesn't really matter. Would I prefer this movie or that? Sure, whatever. And so on. I get tired of expressing preferences regarding things I have no special preference about... yet most women I've spent time with seem to think it's very important that I do so (then they argue with me about it... ). Another reason is that I've had a few unhappy experiences with women who were very determined to get what they wanted, but would never just say out loud what they wanted... instead the "correct" technique was manipulation, or trying to explain to me why I should want it, and so on... If they'd just say, "This is what I want," typically I'd have been happy to go along... but no. More generally, self-confidence is sexy (to me, anyway).

Anyway, enough about that.

I said I'd post something more cheerful soon... so: I got my bicycle fixed today, so I'll be doing lots of riding for the next while (the back wheel was unreliable, so I could only use it for very short trips). This will be good.

and i can't even write journal entries! my brain seems to fake it when it comes to conversation. this leads to the everlasting lack of journal entry frustration. my life is just less meaningful than the other SGers. yea.
