That might be your answer.

Yeah, that's the one. It's pretty gott-verdammt funny, more roffles per square inch than previous books.

I finally realized that Rev. Susie the Floozy is Susan Barrows, who used to be an OHMYGOD hottie back in the late 70s/early 80s and roughly forced hundreds of young boychildren to confront their own onrushing puberty at several Atlanta Fantasy Fairs, simply by wearing a Phoenix costume and telling dirty jokes.

hola. . .

A&M just sunk us (Texas) :(

I'm hard at work on xmas craft. no pajama pants still but finished a purse for my sis-in-law during the game. hurrah.

tonight, mavs and spurs, yay!

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Friday, 24 November 2006 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay Sam - your motivation!

My pie is cooling; I'm done with walking on the treadmill. I'm not done watching Hitch. I realize I don't go to the movies often these days, but since when is a romantic comedy almost 3 hours long?!

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Friday, 24 November 2006 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Whew, I misread that; it is only almost 2 hours long. That makes more sense.

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Friday, 24 November 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

That means it is almost 2 hours TOO long.

Nah, it's kind of cute. Plus, my other choices were not inspiring and walking on the treadmill requires distraction. Untold Scandal was good, but not to the level of Dangerous Liaisons, plus it was kind of depressing.

I'd ask what you'd recommend, but I'm kind of afraid to hear the answer.

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Friday, 24 November 2006 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Movies that don't involve Will Smith. Movies that don't involve the "isn't it funny when white people dance?" joke. Movies that don't involve the words "romantic" and "comedy" next to each other.

― John Justen wants to hit you in the head with a pipewrench. (John Justen), Friday, 24 November 2006 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I try to avoid Tom Cruise myself. (That being said, Independence Day was truly horrific, I saw it with a bunch of guys that LOVED it the day it opened, and wasn't Will Smith involved in that?)

Romantic comedies are not the worst thing that can happen to you. You just have to be prepared for fluff. I realize this is an argument with you that I will not win.

(This is why, when I look at my Neflix friends page and see "John, 91% similarity to you," I get suspicious of somebody's math).

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Friday, 24 November 2006 23:00 (seventeen years ago) link

That is odd. Maybe Netflix doesn't count things that no one other than myself has ever watched against me.

― John Justen wants to hit you in the head with a pipewrench. (John Justen), Friday, 24 November 2006 23:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Just in case, I have sworn off ever putting any braids in my hair.

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Friday, 24 November 2006 23:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, yeah, it is only comparing what people have rated. And compared to almost anyone, I have seen few movies; your rated movies list does have some odd ones on it. FB still wins for Most Out of Control Queue, though.

I also note here, for posterity, that no one I know has rated Boxing Helena.

what the fuck is hastings

― emily robinson (roxymuzak), Saturday, 25 November 2006 00:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Hastings is a city in Minnesota, located near the Twin Cities. I grew up there and went to high school there, which is where I met John Justen, Dan Perry, and the mysterious Fluffy Bear.

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Saturday, 25 November 2006 00:35 (seventeen years ago) link

For my own part, I believe Hastings to be a state of mind, occasionally manifesting on this plane of existence as glimpses out of the corner of my eye, never quite possible to see full on. Here's one of them:

― I Am Curious (George) (Slight Return) (Rock Hardy), Saturday, 25 November 2006 00:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, it's that, too. Absolutely!

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Saturday, 25 November 2006 00:39 (seventeen years ago) link

In my universe, Hastings is all places, the proto-place, the archetype. Unlike Maple Grove, which was/is, simply, suburban heck.

― jaq (jaq), Saturday, 25 November 2006 00:48 (seventeen years ago) link

(I had to post something, to see what time it really was.)

― jaq (jaq), Saturday, 25 November 2006 00:49 (seventeen years ago) link

do any of you Hastings people actually live in Hastings now?

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 25 November 2006 01:02 (seventeen years ago) link

hi jaq!:) i emailed you

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 25 November 2006 01:02 (seventeen years ago) link

what does ned raggett have to do with it

― emily robinson (roxymuzak), Saturday, 25 November 2006 01:05 (seventeen years ago) link

srsly

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 25 November 2006 01:06 (seventeen years ago) link

jergins! I emailed you back!

Ned's full name contains all the letters that make up Hastings.

― jaq (jaq), Saturday, 25 November 2006 01:09 (seventeen years ago) link

(disclaimer: that is probably a lie about Ned)

So far as I know, no one who posts on ILX actually lives in Hastings.

Didn't M@tt H3lg3s0n also live in Hastings, or did I hallucinate that?

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Saturday, 25 November 2006 04:31 (seventeen years ago) link

No, M@tt is just a twin cities man about town.

Since the whole NANANANANA thread is non-existent at the moment, I just wanted you all to know that I just crossed 40000 and had to stop because I wasn't making any fucking sense whatsoever.

― John Justen wants to hit you in the head with a pipewrench. (John Justen), Saturday, 25 November 2006 05:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks, John, I can't keep people straight in my mind.

40K. Holy cats, that is amazing!!!!

So, when did you start making sense?

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Saturday, 25 November 2006 05:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Here you go. Unravelling the mystery:

John's always so helpful. I still like the comparison to Derry, Maine in the Stephen King novel It. Sure, Hastings can be dull, but on the other hand...

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Saturday, 25 November 2006 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

to me,hastings is a nice thread of interesting people. good for time wasting.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Saturday, 25 November 2006 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll bet a dollar that we won't see it again until it's Canuckistanian ILX.

― I Am Curious (George) (Slight Return) (Rock Hardy), Saturday, 25 November 2006 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

When was that transition supposed to happen? I wasn't paying attention.

Sam, I am so sorry about Qtip :(

― jaq (jaq), Saturday, 25 November 2006 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

isn't the transition supposed to happen at the end of this month?

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 25 November 2006 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

This coming Wednesday.

John, you want my amassing Severd Heads collection.

also, I'm obtaining some music by a band of that name.

Random HSTGS-related event: author Maryjanice Davidson will be on Showcase, MN tomorrow morning at around 10:10 am on KARE11 (NBC).

There's also a book release party for Sleeping with the Fishes at the Mall of America Barnes and Noble at 7 pm Tuesday night; I'm going, despite realizing once again this morning that MOA is the most exhausting place on earth.

HATING WILL SMITH IS LIKE HATING LIFE WHERE "LIFE" = "TALENTED BLACK PEOPLE WHO TURNED DOWN MIT FOR FAME AND FORTUNE" AND/OR "PUPPIES"

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Monday, 27 November 2006 14:57 (seventeen years ago) link

will smith could've went to mit?

i'm exhausted this morning. being back at work sux0r!

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Monday, 27 November 2006 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, he got a big-ass scholarship from them and basically had to decide whether he was going to be an engineer or an emcee. He decided to defer a year and see if he could do the emcee thing and, well, apparently he could.

John, have you seen "Six Degrees of Seperation" or "Ali"?

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Monday, 27 November 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I loved Will back when he was all jazzy jeff and the fresh prince but he's become kind of lame.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Monday, 27 November 2006 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link

That happens to pretty much everyone once they grow up!

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Monday, 27 November 2006 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

aren't he and jada scientologists?

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Monday, 27 November 2006 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I finished watching Hitch last night and I liked it. Not hugely memorable, but cute. I neither love nor hate Will Smith. And the white guy who "couldn't dance" danced a hell of a lot better than the white guys I know who can't dance.

Scientologists are creepy, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy what talents they have. (That being said, I do like to give my right wing guy friend a hard time for his crush on Greta van Susternen or whatever her name is.)

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Once I know someone's a scientologist, I truly can never look at them the same again.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S Y'ALL

Everybody live through the night?

I did, despite my friend M4rn13 attempting to murder me slowly with boozy eggnog, wine, champagne, and bourbon.

I think I need to go drink six more cups of coffee now.
