Anyone? Tell me moe about this Alice movie coz I have a friend who is almost obsessed with Alice in Wonderland... if that's what it's based on? I did a photo shoot for him where I was Alice in a modern world-view of Wonderland ... back in my swelt and gorgeous days as an actor... (*sigh*) Hey let us know your picks for WW!!

Justice League, I think.
"Alice" is going to be based on a video/computer game called "American Mcgee's Alice" in which Allice Liddel is locked in an insane asylum after her house burns down and her family dies. She returns to Wonderland to find it overrun by the royal soldiers, and she hacks them apart with a machete. It's very dark and twisted.
Heehee, I doubt SMG would see this, or that she would pull out if she did.

And on a totally different subject again, Wonder Woman thread is here http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=8&t=23230&m=364471#364471

OOOps - I didn't see that there was a whole own thread for WW... and I didn't seriously think SMG would see it either... just wishful thinking...

That sounds so freaky - the whole Alice Liddel goes insane and all that... My friend would love it - he lives in Holland now, but I think I could get in touch with him! I used to have a picture of Alice Liddel as a young woman next to one of the pictures John took of me in my bedroom... it was my 'Alice wall'.

It's good to see you gorgeous one!

Mmmmmmm, apple pie. That sounds really good, but I'd have to leave the house to get any, plus it would be bad for me.
Yeah, it's good to have a real do-nothing day sometimes, and I do, but I shouldn't have too many because I'm supposed to be desparate for another job. I just don't care today. Does that seem right to you?

Hey gorgeous girl... It does seem right to me

you do need a day like this every so often, and apple pie might not be the most nutriciously balanced food group.... but it tastes pretty gorramn good!!!

Oh Jailbait - I didn't think Edinbugh could be all that bad - it's got you in it! But I must admit I'm more of a pub girl... you usually can hold a conversation in a British pub and there's all that cider... mmmmmmmm... cider... I will make it there for the festival one year - it's on my 'things to do whilst alive' list ('before I die' means the same thing...) Can't imagine that job-hunting is any fun when you also need a roof over your head, bet that's a bit of a catch 22 situation...

OK, catch up, catch up, have to make it a fast post because I have to write the first chapter of my new Wash fic: Three of A Kind before I go on my jolies. After a stunningly easy to write prologue,(here if you're interested: http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.as?i=12467) I have slowed waaaay down.
BTW, what does a beta tester do, and d'ya think I might need one?

Happy Birthday MisterG!
Tristan: Ross Noble is an English comedian: very funny, very, very weird, and second favourite after Bill Bailey.

CK: Glad you're better. What have I been up to... hmm, not much, but I got another shiny new venetian mask yesterday, bringing my collection up to a grand total of... 2!

heehee, SoaP ahem... No plans to see it, though the last film I saw in the cimema was Stormbreaker, and that put me off for a while, though that Alice thing sounds excellent!

Magda: you forgot to blame global warming and the failing education system on that F** exec too

Clubbing: I went to the under 18's night twice at my local night club and hated it. I would so much rather have a sleepover with all my friends and watch dvds. Plus, pajamas are so much less restricting than clubbing clothes. Not that i actually have any...
Seryn: gotta agree with you there. it never ceases to amaze me how much the general public gets on my nerves. Individuals are great but masses and masses drive me mad!

GRRARG: that film would be "A Knights Tale" The historical inaccuracies make me crazy (I spent the whole of Troy going That didn't happen, thats wrong, he didn't die till later, etc, as Ancient Greece is one of my interests), but its is a good film, none the less, though mainly because it has the unfailingly hot and fantabulous Alan Tudyk in it, albeit with a terrible English accent.

Hey all, just popping in to say hi. Hubby and I just got back from Bats Day in the Fun Park ([link] http://www.batsday.net/). We went as observers (aka "Goth-watchers") rather than as Bats ourselves. I'm a reformed Goth as it is.

Whenever we go to Disneyland, we have a point system for things that we see -- a point for a family all wearing the same shirt, a point for a couple wearing the bride and groom Mickey ears, that sort of thing. There's a whole sub-set of the rules especially for Bats Day, where we count elaborate parasols, and Baby Goths all decked out, etc.

Kinda got me thinking how cool a Browncoats day at Disneyland would be. Dunno if I'd dress up or just go to count the number of fantastic costumes, but it'd be fun either way.

I think we should have a day when we all go out in our browncoats and make ourselves visable, sounds like a cool idea to have a day like that in Disneyland, unfortunetly for me theres the small matter of the Atlantic to halt my efforts.

Hiya all.

MsG: It's offical...I have a low tolerance for being stuck in a 'workshop' that has extremely little to do with me -- got so bored at one I sat in it with a computer trying to create a SIOP (sheltered instructional observation protocol -- originally made to teach those who are learning English as a second language) lesson plan based on the sample given us (didn't work, because I couldn't remember the way to write the plan). (I think that if you and I were both in the same workshops bored, we'd terrorize the instructors.

)

SBDB: Hi. A beta tester is someone who is tests a program to find any weak points in a program (attempts to "break" the program) so that they can be fixed before the program reaches the average person.
I think you might want a beta-reader, someone who reads and double checks spelling, grammer, and continuity/general knowledge errors when writing fanfiction.

PR: Good vibes coming from my place. Question for you: What kind of job are you looking for? (Beyond the "it pays the bills and a little extra") If you want something that works with students/children, you might want to check with a school, they might have some jobs that you can fill (clerical, teaching tutors, aides, etc.) if you ask (it's about that time of the school year when they look for people). Or, you could try your former high schools Career Counseling center, or check the employment boards at the nearest Junior College/College/University (and maybe the campus paper -- used to see job leads there).

MisterG: Happy Belated Birthday.

Tristan: Happy Belated Birthday Mal's-older-twin-brother! May you continue to fly under the Alliance's radar (let Mal deal with the problems of the Alliance eyeballing him

!) (Whew! 's a long title...how's that one fit?)

Okay, question: If you had a really rotten ex (ex of Doom, b

d ex, or even general loser ex) and you happend to be in the same place as ex and ex's new S.O., would you attempt to warn new S.O. about ex? (e.g. "I thought you should know that ##### tends to lie about things to look good, but ##### has lost a job for being caught lying.") I've been tempted to, but figured that new S.O. would think that it's a "sour grapes" thing and discount what I would say. (Happier note, b

d ex2 was at the same place as I was, but didn't hang out with the "old crowd" that both of us used to. I ignored b

ex2 so it wasn't me doing anything to ex2.)

But I might look into that. I'm not great shakes at Excel, though, so most celerical positions go to better-qualified candidates.
But yeah, mostly "pays the bills" is what I'm looking for. I'd love to work in graphics, and I've applied, but considering how many people in this area have degrees in graphic design, I tend to get passed up for those, too. Even though I'm a very good designer despite the lack of formal training. Doom. I'd settle right now for a job that wasn't too tedious and mind-numbing and had benifits; paying dental out of my pocket is getting really damn old.
Warning new SO of an ex... Yeah, I've been tempted, but it never works. They always say "Oh, you're just bitter" so I just avoid it. They'll find out. Oddly enough, though, I don't tend to come into contact with exes, and if I do they're single (at times quite recently single). Very strange.

Best I could find in my "quick and dirty" search was on ebay. You might want to check in the women's section using a combination of long sleeve, asian, anime, and/or shirt in the search.

Google's more for looking up information (and froogle isn't too hot in my opinon). Might want to check out other types of online auction pages.

Have you thought of applying for a different kind of job in a graphics design company instead? Maybe going for a clerical or office role? That way instead of your lack of formal training working against you, your interest in it will work in your favour. And once your foot is in the door you'll have the best opportunity ever to find out how to get the role you want without having to go back to school.

Ah, no, maybe not looking forward to the Alice movie so much, i was sure it was originally a book - movies based on games always seem to turn out a bit pants.

But its bound to be a visual treat.

Bill Baily is a god. A short, hairy, piano playing god. In bad clothes. He is Geek God!

Ok, never mind.

Yes, clubs in Liverpool are ok,ish, maybe. I think Korova's pretty new, the problem is they're limited by music style, and therefore by clientel. The majority of them are scally dance music venues, where the sole aim is to get as pissed as possible and rub yourself against something. Avoid those like the plague. To be honest you probably would cattch the plague there.

Then there are other low key places, that play more eclectic mixes, which i tend to like, The Jacaranda is cool, and Hannahs, which has a jazz night as well, then indie/alt. stuff, then very niche stuff, like korova, which is electro etc. The problem is the people in them, it goes from one one extreme to the other, you either have to negotiate drunken, retarded, violent morons or snobby, elitist, to-cool-for-school idiots.
Oh and then theres the raft of 'celebrity' hangouts, catering for people who get paid too much and written about too much for what they actually do, and their attendant butt-suckers and groupie hopefuls. Again, plague be here.

Its very hard to find a club that plays the music you like, populated by fun friendly and accepting people, who ain't there to feed their own insecurities by acting like they are better than you, and instead just get on with the tasks of dancing having fun and enjoying themselves.
The closest i ever got was one called the Krazy House which was rock/metal/goth stuff mainly, but on the upper floors they often played stuff like the Foo's, RHCP's and their sort, which are great to dance to. Occasionally they'd even play older stuff like Bowie or Madness.
But that stopped, I tried going back after returning from collage, but it wasn't the same - i felt like i needed to be handing out nappies, the average age was so young (i have no right to complain, seing as i started clubbing at 15, but..) and the whole place was like a very dark dirty badly scripted episode of The OC. Drama! oh my god kids these days can't function with out it! break ups make up drugs cheatings, flirtations! all dressed up in technicolour melodrama. Eldorado was never this bad!

and the dirt! plague it may not be but dysentry and hepatitis were a distinct possibility.

but the problem being, that though i go to manchester to see bands, clubbing there is not a good idea, as safe travelling is an issue just from liverpool, and chester? past eleven, the place may as well cease to exist as far as public transport officials are concerned.

Gorram lack of car!

but the point is, i'm limited to liverpool, and doubt i'll find the perfect club with out opening my own.

actually no, i've lost the point, i'm just ranting!

ah, i shall join Jack in the no reading today my head hurts corner.

I have only ever warned someone off one of my exes once, and that was because he had a foul temper and hit me. He only did that once mind you, since I immediatly hit him back and then broke up with him.

The girl in question said I must have provoked him. I could have argued further I suppose but I figured she wouldn't listen. They weren't together very long, though I never asked why. Once he's an ex he's in the past, unless you stay friends which I have manged to do with two of my exes.

You apparently give me far too much credit for intelligence. How in the world do I check private messages on here? lol

Weekend- Went to the mountains with sister and GND. Long, but surprizingly short day. Saw a passel of chukar and four young Bighorn Sheep. Got to shoot, eat spam, sing, eat spam, and ride rather than drive. The riding happens so seldom.

Your private messages go to whatever e-mail address you supplied to the forum. They may be delayed as there's been a bit of an issue with messages and notifications from the forum lately.

Nvghostrider: It sounds like you had an interesting weekend! The hippie in me approves of you being at one with nature. Even if it does sound like you ate most of it.

Nope, just ate Spam, (and it ain't natural). Some roasted Chukar with asparagus and rice sounds pretty good right now.

I have to tell all you wonderful ladies that you are a very beautiful lot. GND seems to have a problem thinking highly of her looks. Every so often she gets down on herself, and I have no clue why. She's got all the right parts and personality to match. I just don't get it.
So I thought I'd tell y'all that you are all an attractive bunch. Just think folks should be sincerely told that more often.

NV, that awful pretty, what you just said.

And Hippie, you made me laugh, I just wanted to mention that, though I too was reasonably sure that NV hadnt actually eaten any animals.

The imponderings continue.... um.... I cant really think of much to add, but I'm gonna post just to say hi... I need to finish Alias Grace today. :-\

I've noticed this phenomenon in a lot of women. What causes it? There are plenty of beautiful women who get down on themselves about their looks. It's rather annoying to try unsuccessfully to convince them they're crazy.

I tend to show rather than tell. But I guess people need to be told. Just wish I could get around my own problems to say it more often.
Funny, ain't it.

Hi Dancingneko -- Thanks so much for your response. I will try e-bay, thank you. I was afraid I would make it into a holy-grail of a search only to find out that Target carried them.

With regard to men, it always seems that a great guy comes along when you don't care about being in a relationship, when you're focused on something else.

And whatever that something else is, it takes your mind off anorexic 16 year olds on fashion mags (who are irrelevant) and boosts your self-esteem.

I know you folks know all this already -- just adding my 2 cents.

It's a sad joke in psychology -- if you want to study eating disorders, go to a country right before they start having fashion magazines available. A country with no eating disorders (such as bulimia and anorexia) will start having cases within a few months. I'm not on a crusade here, but I thought this was worth noting. (I like Jane, myself)

Morning...well actually almost afternoon for me and definitely for many of you....

Whitefall, I PM'd you on Friday. You didn't get it? Drat. Not a big deal. I was just bein' sensitive.

NV: I think women get down on their looks because we are judging ourselves against magazine and movie standards. Those women are airbrushed perfection with teams of people and scad of money to help them look that good. Then us everyday girls think we should look like them.

I've recently noticed that many of the celebrities look like very normal women when first starting out. Their skin wasn't perfect, their body wasn't amazing, their hair wasn't as shiny as polished gold (or bronze or whatever is really shiny). They were us, then they got some money and a stylist, a personal trainer, a cook and a regular facial appt.

It matters little that men think we're pretty, we are holding ourselves up to much higher standards, our own version of what we think beautiful should be. Thus, you get insecurities about looks.

To the other ladies: If you are not like this at all, good on ya. Hope to be there one day myself.
