Okay, my LJ is going extremely slowly too. Is yours still bugging? I think I just threw out a good battery from my wireless mouse, believing that the mouse was the issue, not the damn website.

Dazed and Confused - LOL. My younger brother was obsessed with that movie. I would know that he was home when "Sweeeeeeet Emooootion" came crooning out of the family room. My mom had a similar reaction to yours re: the hazing - what was that stupid line? "Sizzle like bacon". Parker Posey was perfectly cast for such a stupid role. Her snotty bitch energy radiates.

Naturally, the movie paints the past as a time as degenerate as our present. Can't give the people anything to look back fondly upon or to aspire to - things were always as gross as they are now, or so they'd have you believe.

How about that? Two weeks to get back to this comment. But I did appreciate. And I feel you have a good, associative mind. I like that in a human being.

I got more into D&C after this post. The very beginning is music history, methinks. The car roll in, and then we see a grill rolling - a joint. And when the music opens up, the kids are kinda moving to the beat. It's great.

I think you're right. Times now are pretty sucky, with the consolation that things will be worse in the future. In many ways, but not all. And the 1970's probably rocked in ways compared to today, but were probably also boring - and confusing. Hey!

My compu/net is always so slow, it is hard for me to imagine that other people experience a slow internet. My idea of slow is, like, bits are moving backwards. And, yes, it is hard to figure out what is going wrong, because you can't see bits, because they are too itty bitty. And who knows code anymore?

I'm very glad to have you as an LJ friend. Thanks for the add!

Hi, I can see your friends locked posts, but it still won't let me reply to them.

I just wanted to ask what is an LL?

Anyhow, I hope you have a great weekend :)

Can't remember if I had a great weekend. Probably not. Thanks, though!

"LL" stands for "landlord." However, when I speak of my LL, I am not really talkign about the owner of this house, but of the woman who runs the real estate agency with her husband, which oversees various downtownish houses, on behalf of the owners.

Yep. I really don't know what the deal is about you not being able to comment. I checked, and I never blocked you. But that's how things are behaving. I'll mention this to LJ some time. Can't say when.
