Calandale's turn in the spotlight

[purposefulinsanity]

You've not been online much recently- have you been working on your addiction or just posting elsewhere?

[Calandale]

Yeah. Trying to work, and getting addicted to other
crap instead. STBM

[purposefulinsanity]

if you find away of not getting addicted to stuff let me know- I seem to spend my whole life going from one obsession to another.

[Calandale]

My hope was to get addicted to classwork again.
I really came to grad school in the hope of finding
love of certain aspects of research. Didn't happen -
though there were some nice flirtations.

have you ever had any surgery performed on you?

have you ever had any surgery performed on you?

Not that I know of.

[Kosmonaut]

you must have been lucky so far.
when was the last time you went on holiday.
well, vacation you probably say, and where did yr go?

Vacation from what? Anyhow, about the only
'pleasure' trip that I've taken in the last decade
was a road trip throughout the pacific NW, a
couple of years ago. It was pretty intense though,
and was a school trip for most of the students
(I was just along for comedy relief); 12+ hours on
the road most days, for about a month.

Stopped for a night in Eugene, which helped
convince me to apply here.

Vacation from what?

well yes, this exactly my attitude to the matter.
People have been saying i need a holiday for years, i think they have given up now though.
Someone once said if i took a holiday it would give me somethink to talk about and make me more interesting a person.
wankers.
Anyway, do you ride a motorbike?

[Calandale]

No. Only did so once, riding behind a guy,
who told me to grab his dick if I got frightened,
or needed to communicate with him.

Actually, my avoidance of vacations has
been pretty long-term. I used to hate
holidays from school, because I knew that
they weren't permanent. I'm never too happy
when I think something is temporal.

Became one of the sticking points with my wife.
She needed a break, but I brought up all the reasons
that it was foolish to take off work, and spend far too
much money to travel. Unfortunately, she was pretty
compliant about such things. Later, she was upset about
the trip that I mentioned above.

[Kosmonaut]

ok, well i can see why you were put off riding on motorbikes.
Last one, and i will leave you to get back to your spamming:
what was the last film you saw at the cinema, was it any good and you did you go with?

[Calandale]

I think the second LOTR film. It sucked worse than I thought.
I went with my wife, and some of her friends from work.

[Pyraxis]

What, you didn't think it was fun to watch Gollum torment himself?

[Calandale]

What, you didn't think it was fun to watch Gollum torment himself?

There were aspects that I liked. I thought the relationship between
Frodo and Sam was well done, for example. But, there were a lot
of little problems in the first movie, which it became clear were
absolutely ruinous to the whole point of the story. I mean, they
left the god damned nut out of the movie. That was the whole
fucking point.

Whatever actual story there was in the books was in the film. Had Peter Jackson tried to shoot the books as-is, I'd much prefer Yellow Pages The Movie.
