Primer is a very interesting movie centered on the concept of time travel, and the complications that real people might encounter. It is a very low budget movie that managed to do well at the Sundance festival. Usually I hate the types of films that garner awards, as those types are self-important "indie" crap that is joyless and pretentious. Primer is different, though. First of all, it is absolutely awesomely constructed. It's like a puzzle that keeps getting harder as you solve it, and you will be thinking about it after the film is over. As another reviewer said, "anybody who claims [to] fully understand what's going on in Primer after seeing it just once is either a savant or a liar."

Prepare to have your mind fucked. Upon a second viewing, more questions arise as the situation is more complex.

Unfortunately low budget means the cinematography is a little shoddy. There is filter abuse and some of it looks ugly. The acting is sub-par, but some of the cast included everyday people that the director knew. If you don't expect the mechanics to work like a big-budget movie, it won't bother you.

I have vivid dreams a lot.

In a recent dream, I was a swimming teacher at the high school. My class was really hard. People could barely swim my course. Of course I flunked a few students, and one of them came to my apartment and pushed me down a spiral staircase. My body crumpled up and folded up like origami paper and I laid at the bottom, staring out between my collapsed limbs.

I'm not trying to be all hardcore or something, but I do think it's interesting how many horrible things happen.

In one of my latest dreams, there was this older man who got an electrode implanted under his nipple. I was sitting, watching a video of this with other students. There was a person sitting across from the man with a remote. He would jerk the remote like he was playing the wii and the electrode would jump from the man's chest like in those cartoons, where a toon's heart is beating. It was supposed to be torturous but the man became desensitized and he fell asleep. Then the person with the remote got angry and started really swinging the remote around, and the electrode lifted him out of his seat, moving him like a someone yanking a dog on a chain. It was awful to watch, I started to stand up and tell them to stop, but that's when the instructor turned off the tape.

In another dream, I was an actor a zombie movie in a dilapidated suite, reminiscent of the Resident Evil mansion. I was dressed in full body armor, carrying some heavy automatic weapons, with this other guy who was also playing some sort of black ops soldier. I remember being very uncomfortable because I had to pee, yet I had all this heavy costuming on and I didn't want to take all that off. I wandered around the set, trying to find the bathroom. There was ivy all over the walls and the floor was irregular crusts of marble coming out like there'd been an earthquake. Then the zombies started coming, and I started yelling that I had to pee and I wasn't ready to shoot the scene yet, but they came at me, rising and slithering like humanoid worms out from the ground. I started shooting at them, and my gun shot real bullets, not blanks. And then I realized that I was all alone and there were no cameras.

I don't watch too many horror movies. I do like the occasional flick, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm also not obsessed with zombies or gore, or anything such as that. So this isn't a product of too many scary movies, as much a product of a brain and possibly a bit of whatever I ate that night...

Yet another dream, I was wandering around in a house. I was maybe, six or seven years old in this dream. I heard a voice coming from upstairs. I was very afraid and didn't want to go up there, but the voice kept telling me that I needed to go. I went, and met a bulbous looking white haired man, sitting in a high backed, antique green chair. His teeth were yellowing and he was smiling. He told me to have some quarters... I covered my ears. He started throwing quarters at me, and they piled up quickly. Soon I was buried in a sea of quarters and I couldn't breathe. I felt like I was going to swallow the quarters, cold and metal, and burying me alive. All this time the man was smiling at me, and I was so terrified that the quarters which covered my eyes were a relief so I wouldn't have to look at the man's face anymore.

Of course that all seems so silly when I talk about it now, but that night I woke up screaming and I couldn't fall asleep again, even though the sun hadn't come up yet.

My most recent memorable dream, I was going back and forth in time. I dreamed about someone who was in my past, which is very odd, I had lost contact with this person, and haven't thought about them in years. The oddest thing is that they told me they had a dream about me, a really weird psychedelic sort of dream, once. And that is the year I traveled back to in my dream. It really makes me wonder.

Not that anyone gives a shit.

Life has been meandering along. I am currently entrenched in a year long course, and I hope to take my certification exams next year. The material is dry, and the studying hours are long. Part of me enjoys it, and part of me wants to slack off for the rest of my life.

The baby is growing up fast. She now constitutes a toddler, having a growing vocabulary. Potty training is imminent, though we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

I recently watched In the Mouth of Madness, a 1994 horror film starring Sam Neil of Jurassic Park fame. This movie has quickly become one of my favorite movies of all time. I highly recommend it for dvd rental, youtube, netflix, or however the fuck you want to watch it. Watch it.

I got the expansion. I pretty much immediately rolled a Death Knight. Now I've actually been playing. I might get on my rogue again after they fix rogues, but for now, I'm pretty content with my OP-ness.

As you can see I have a pile of useless alts that are mostly low levels. I don't know what to do with them.

Update on my bb. She is almost 13 months now. She is running around all by herself, but she likes pulling people along with her and holding hands.

Words she knows how to say: Mama, ball, shoes, baby, uh-oh, whoa.
Words she knows the meaning of: flower, book, daddy, NO!

STRANGELY ENOUGH, she can also say "I am batman" in a scratchy voice. We show her a picture of Batman, say "Who is this?" She says, "I AM BATMAN!"

She also growls at dinosaurs, and pictures of dinosaurs.

She's pretty happy most of the time. She is pretty crazy, and requires lots and lots of energy to keep up with. Here is a proof from her one year pictures. We didn't end up buying this collage thing, but I did save this onto my computer before they took it down.

BANNED AGAIN.

Yeah. In my eight years here I've been banned quite a lot, and frequently for unfair reasons.

I know that if I were a ~*REGULARR*~ , I would have zero chance of getting banned for the exact same posts.

I clearly remember for being banned for "racism" after posting a cute sombrero in a thread of Ozcar's, quite jokingly, after he himself made several jokes about being Mexican. Apparently, my joke wasn't funny enough, (IT WAS QUITE HUMOROUS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH) so I got banned for being a racist. This was AFTER I had just seen a thread about how black people love KFC and watermelon.

A separate occasion - I remember this argument with Shrapnel from four years ago. He was being rude, and generally an asshole in a thread about how vegetarians have to eat meat or else they would die. I pointed out that a lot of my family were vegetarians, being Buddhists, and then he proceeded to make some remarks about how they must be eating dirty food with animal feces in them, or else they would be dead. Just the general way in which he was talking to me in the thread, was totally disrespectful (not that I expect respect from a place like this) and he was a world class dick to me. It was flaming with big words, basically. Of course, he wasn't banned.

I was banned for insinuating that I had downloaded something. Reason? Talking about "illegal activities" was not allowed in the BBS. I had nowhere stated that I was downloading it illegally, just that I downloaded it freely. But you know what I see a lot of in the BBS? People bragging about how much pot they smoke, and "WHAT DRUGZ DO U LIEK?" threads that go on for pages. People talking about how they do X and even cocaine, and whatever the fuck stupid shit NG likes to smoke these days.

I can understand that the mods are trying to clean up the BBS and save it from being a cesspool of an even greater degree of stupidity than it has already achieved. But I am a (RATHER) decent poster. I contribute to a lot of conversations and I earnestly try to help people (SOMETIMES).

It's not like I'm an ~*invaluable*~ member of this community, but I would like to think that I am a constant buoy in the sea of intellectually stunted flotsam that makes up the NG BBS.

In conclusion, MY milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than YOURS.

STOP BEING A DICK TO ME NG, AND LOVE ME

bitch moans

btw my baby is turning one this week.

I am now a proud HOMEOWNER

*DANCEY DANCEY*

We bought a condo. It was definitely a fixer-upper.

But we are in the last steps of cleaning the place up so we can move in (We currently reside in a two bedroom apartment). It looks great with new paint and carpet.

A picture of my kiddo because she is cute:

this is basically copied from DA

~~~

oh yuh. This is to celebrate Mining 375 with my rogue in WoW

That might not seem like a big deal to a lot of people but I switched from Leatherworking a long time after I was already 70

Coupled with the fact that I can barely play with the baby and all. I have not done a single instance in Outland and my gear BLOWS

anyway, I am trying to make myself a flying mount. C:

I've been developing a browser based RPG similar to Kingdom of Loathing with my boyfriend. It's built from scratch with PHP, mySQL, Javascript, and AJAX. We're not yet ready to allow people to try it out just yet, but we wanted to get the word out about it, and spark some interest. Fairly soon, we plan on opening the door for a very few selected people to join us for Closed Beta testing, and after that, we'll be starting Open Beta testing before we go Live.

The Game is called Land of Lim. And no, it's not going to blow like those other shitty free RPGs you see in all those banner ads.

More about it later. For now, here is a gay gay picture I drewed.
