1. Hey, look! ds_workshop is back, and I made a whole post about the RCMP. Guys, I want to be a Mountie. Except they make you do stuff like run laps and drive fast and arrest people. But the hats! I think the hats would make up for that whole "apparatus of state power" thing, and the forced exercise. Maybe ( Read more... )

You can post scans of your received card whenever! It's only your sent one which you have to wait on, to preserve anonymity.

Oh yay! Thanks - I wasn't sure if we were supposed to wait for Valentine's Day or not. I'll scan the card and put it up tomorrow. It is TOTALLY awesome!

It is embarrassing the number of times I have watched that Sarah Silverman video today. Hee!

Today you will write porn? I believe I wholeheartedly approve of this intention! Also, I love the Duck/Dan bowling plot bunny but you are correct...there is of course the danger of amputation. (When isn't there?)

It's a very catchy song, isn't it? I was humming it today on the bus before I realized that the lyrics aren't exactly appropriate for mixed company.

And yes! There is always a danger of amputation. I really should start approaching stories with that in mind, and try to avoid it should the impulse crop up. *snuggles you*

i have issues with the Air. i mean, there's no optical drive. wth? if you want to watch or burn a dvd or whatever, you have to hook up an external drive, which is a pain. and Apple's all "rent movies from iTunes!" um, no. and it's completely wireless. which sounds great, but there are times when you just have to be wired, and the Air doesn't have that option at all.

i think it's a really cool machine, but it's also about five years ahead of its time and our general level of technology isn't ready for it yet.

nos4a2no9 February 2 2008, 16:41:25 UTC

Pffft, fine, Izzy, shatter all of my hopes and dreams and deeply-held illusions that I would be fine without an optical drive. (Yeah, the whole, "rent movies from iTunes" is a bit suspicious. No thanks).

*sigh* But it's so pretty!

i am mostly jealous that you guys got a snow day! I had to WALK TO WORK IN -46 and there is tonnes of snow on the ground, but DOES EDMONTON CLOSE DOWN? I THINK NOT! humph!

my friend's dad is was a mountie. you could steal his hat...

nos4a2no9 February 2 2008, 16:42:01 UTC

Ugh, -46? YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF EDMONTON!

And I heard about your big news! I'm going to congratulate you all over the place, but seriously, dude. OXFORD. You rock!

byzantium_dei February 2 2008, 17:56:16 UTC

i know I need to leave. no one here seems to understand that having to be outside in -46 windchill conditions is a crime against humanity.

and thanks for the congrats.

HA that Sarah Silverman vid is priceless!

and re: convo with scarfe: i talked to a guy today who flies lear jets for the stars... he says he had Ben Affleck as a client for three solid weeks and he was the biggest dick* hes ever met. and he knows Russell Crowe.

[*biggest dick in the not-complimentary way]

nos4a2no9 February 2 2008, 16:43:05 UTC

Heh, you know all the cool people! (Who know all the dicks, apprently). It doesn't surprise me, really. I get a dick-ish vibe from him. And when a guy compares you unfavourably to Russel Crowe, well...that's not cool, Affleck.

And yay! I'm glad you liked the vid. It's way too catchy and endearing :-)

callumvixen February 2 2008, 17:23:13 UTC

i actually met lear-jet guy at my chiropractor... we were also talking about how Gerard Butler hurt his back during the filming of the super shitty movie with hardly any Callum in it Shattered and needed to see my chiro! there were photos and everything.

and then they told me that apparently one of the locations for Shattered was scouted during the day, but that the scene they were filming was at night and no one knew until they were shooting that there were thousands of very loud bullfrogs there... lol... so they hired a 'bullfrog wrangler' [which, if he was wearing chaps and a cowboy hat, perhaps wouldve been a hotter role for Callum, if off-camera] who would throw on a giant spotlight, jump in front of it to cast a huge shadow, scatter the frogs... and then they could shoot the scene.
