I am extremely happy today. Made apple sauce with Ian, had a nice talk while cutting up the apples, then discussed how the reorganise the living-room, and then we went shopping in preparation for tonight's (tofu feta and artichoke) pizza and tomorrow's (mushroom) quiche.
Tonight we're watching either Citizen Kane or The Graduate (haven't seen either yet. I know, shame on us).
Our original plan was to play Sam & Max 305, Machinarium or New Super Mario Bros Wii, none of which we ended doing, but we had a great day regardless.
It's amazing how much of a difference having a tidy apartment can make.
Oh, also, I've been reading To Kill a Mockingbird, and I was surprised that it was such a recent book, I thought it was a classic and, well, my Frenchness causes me to think of classics as several centuries old, so this is more of a modern book to me.
Very interesting, I'm learning lots about the American South. I'll have to read it a second time when I'm not trying to enjoy the story, so I can look up all the weird phrases and expressions I'm encountering for the first time.
Lol, the 9 community is crazy. More so than the plot of the movie which the forum revolves around, even. They're like little mexican jumping beans. They actually seem mentally attached to that word, 'beans', it's like everyone that stumbles across the forum is brainwashed into joining, and everyone that joins is brainwashed into becoming a bean, and most people that become a bean are brainwashed into urging everyone in. That's only a hundreth of the things that make them unique.
In a bad way, maybe. Actually more annoying than bad; which isn't as bad as.. bad itself. You know?
I have a sudden urge to troll them to see if I can make them jump. Help me fight if off, PLEASE?
I have to admit, looking back, I exaggerated a bit (especially about the 'bean' part in particular- they seem to be more so attatched to the thing they call the 'GRILLED CHEEEZE BAR'), but here ya go. Seeing as you're new to this place, you might find it a bit strange as I did, especially if you didn't see the movie. That would be like joining the Telltale forums without.. playing any Telltale.. games..
I searched around a bit in those nooks and crannies where members are most likely to 'SQUEEEEE' like fangirls. But I don't quite remember those places in particular.
Here's a tip; try looking in the 'Intros and Outros' first.
Some...well, all, of those sigs made my head hurt. Especially the animated ones (Eurgh!). I just gave up reading after five minutes because half the time I couldn't tell where the actual post was...
Will you watch the film too? We studied To Kill a Mockingbird (book and film) in class when I was about 15. I wish I could remember more about books, I tend to forget all the details within a few months of finishing them.
To Kill A Mockingbird is without a doubt my second favorite book. The movie has a completely different image of Boo Radley than what I pictured, but it's pretty good too.
To Kill a Mockingbird is one of two books that I actually enjoyed reading in school (the other was Far From the Madding Crowd). The fact that reading it at a snails pace and analyzing every word for hidden meaning didn't ruin the book for me makes it especially special.

Probably, although I'm not having a "marathon", as in, I'm not planning to see the movie right after I finish the book. If I watch the movie, it might be years from now.
I made a mushroom quiche tonight. It's in the oven right now and I'm starving... Waiting much too long before starting it. Oh well, it will be tasty either way.
We'll probably watch The Graduate while we're having it (we watched Citizen Kane yesterday).

A. That reminds me of Bone for some strange reason.
B. How was Citizen Kane. Was it as Good as people say it is?

I liked the movie a lot. It's pretty different. Not much action... it's almost like a documentary in some ways. You get different people talking about Kane after he dies (oh no, spoilers! don't worry, that's the very beginning), and it switches to the scenes themselves, then it goes back to the person who was talking, then the main guy goes ask someone else.
This way you get an idea of his life from the points of views of the people around him, with some chronological order but not quite (that is, each person's memories are chronological, but they overlap).
It's got some funny bits, although I spent most of the time finding the characters pretty horrible, especially Kane himself, who is an absolute jerk. Well, the most annoying character is
his second wife
though.
I think it's a very good movie, but you shouldn't go there expecting the kind of movies you're probably used to.
My voice is really messed up right now. I can only gor really low, and I'm a Tenor, I normally couldn't get this low if I tried. You'd think that's good, but my range sucks so I can barely even talk.
This better go away by tomorrow, I can't sing like this.
In honor of Poker Night Coming out later this year, I decided to replay Telltale Texas Hold 'Em. I was quickly taught a lesson in how much I suck at Poker.
I also came across this:
Dank, old Buddy! What are you doing in there? Did Telltale slip you into the Game when I wasn't looking?
So, yeah. Check it out. All I got is one pokémon type post at the moment. but I plan to do absolutely nothing more interesting things with it in the future
I spent my entire day with my dad and grandpa, starting when my dad dragged me out of bed at the indecent (at least on a Sunday) hour of 9 AM. We moved two truck shells, one of them twice, and loaded a camper. My arms hurt. My back hurts. My hands hurt. And I think I need another shower.

Thumbs down. I like a couple of Weezer's songs, but for the most part they get on my nerves, more so starting with the red album.
Eep, that must've been a rough two weeks.

I'll regret this.
Being in Central America is a decent trade-off! Even cold showers feel pretty decent if you're wet, sweaty and dirty enough.

Good luck, you'll do fine! Even if you don't get the job, it will be great interview practice.
I've never seen QI but it sounds funny
Aw man, I was gonna go for the whole " irrelevant comparison to Justin Bieber" thing

The music alone is reason enough to see this movie. It also has some of the most amazing fight scenes ever put to animation.
Coming very soon.
I'm sure you can catch a few clips on youtube.
I'm going to like this show
Oh yay! QI is brilliant. I shall prepare to fall in love with Stephen Fry and Alan Davies all over again.

I think this means you owe us a new picture in the "What do you look like?" thread.
...your selection is no slouch, though.
