Re: Keeping it all in perspective :)

Hmm, I haven't been paying attention here lately, so I don't know what the "heated debate" is that you speak of... however....

You did link to my favorite xkcd ever... so I thought I would reply :)

Re: Anybody here play an instrument?

To followup on my earlier post... this time I couldn't resist anymore. I'm attempting to learn guitar. My wife wanted an electric guitar to mess with. Its too pretty not to play.

It took me almost a week, but I can now pick the thing up and play a D chord without muting the E string. And of course ...

Re: Do you want to be great?

Underwater Photography. The funny thing is I don't know much at all about scuba diving or photography, so it'll be a while yet. But the anticipation makes it better.

That sounds pretty awesome.

You picked one of the most demanding things I can think of in Photography...

Do you have any work ...

Re: 4. sumiyaka (4k) vs. kex (4k)

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and the last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet,
They ...

Re: Anybody here play an instrument?


I don't like the harmonica anymore because it's so limited.

In a way, though, I think that is the charm of the little guy. I kinda want to hook a Mic up through guitar pedals, just to see what new noises I can make with the harmonica like that

EDIT: I should add I just do this for fun, and am ...

Re: Anybody here play an instrument?

Cameras. What? You don't hear music in pictures?

I also mess about with harmonicas. I played clarinet in high school. Every two or three years or so I consider picking up a saxophone-- but talk myself out of it. And the guitar asks me to learn it about every 5 years. I may actually give into that ...

That Candy Shop peice there.... Its like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory gone wrong with a Sweeny Todd twist, that is uniquely awesome.

Yeah, it caught my attention.

Take your time. Truth be told, I'm not quite sure what we should do with the mess we made either :)

Re: Mornington Crescent


In fact, no particular map is explicitly required by the rules at all (arguably a loophole). We could use a map of the DC Metro, though the game would lack a win condition, unless we renamed it Dupont Circle.


I thought the winning condition was Metro Center? In any event, playing the DC Metro ...

Re: A question to anyone that knows about the film industry.

Aside from what LocoRon said, which makes a lot of sense to me...

One thing you could also try is find some independent film makers and ask them... they may ignore you, but you could try.

Any independent filmmakers that your friend admires? Send them an email, maybe call if you are particularly ...
