Congrats on the house, it sounds like you have a good one. Checked out that link, is it a new game? I am a big SWs fan, even bigger Fett fan. I will have to try to get a photo of the shirt I made when Phantom came out. I don't really play computer games, though my brother, who is also a huge SWs fan does. I will tell him about it.

Awesome!!

That is really good news. Moving into your own house is actually quite a thrill. Especially if, like me, you are a bit of a pack rat. What style is it? 1 or 2 floors?

As I have said previously, you are the Master and therefore I am stump-ed.

Herein lies the funny thing, technically I need A history course, not necessarily that one, maybe I can fudge it.

Thanks! I do know (and like) several of those performers, I'll check out the rest.

Greetings. Isn't it great when the semester ends? Mine ended today and I have only 2 finals. Whoo-hoo. The only one I recognize is the first one, from "Office Space."

I wasn't discriminating, I was making a broad generalization, a blanket statement if you will. I am far too cynical to believe
in the altruism that someone claims to purport. Again, that's just me and I am a sad little man. As for the actors and such, I don't quite follow how treating Elia Kazan with contempt at the Oscars for his past behavior is quite symetrical with my theory. I think all it shows is that they have opinions and thoughts. I remember seeing clips from that ceremony and distinctly recall seeing Ed Harris sitting scowling and Warren Beatty standing and applauding. Hey, they all have their own beliefs and more power to them. I just don't see it as a craft in the same sense that a painter or a poet has one. Maybe if they also wrote the screenplays or something...but they work in a media that does not serve a purpose unless exposed to the public. Someone who creates does not need the vox populi, they can survive, even thrive, in a more isolated environment. I believe that they achieve a certain modicum of success in spite of themselves, whereas actor cannot do the same thing. They need the approval of us hoi-poloi as we need to see them on the screen. All this being said, none of it was meant to be an attack on you, simply a discourse. For that I thank you, at least a few people had read the whole thing.
The firearm in question is an H&K USP 9mm. I couldn't find a picture of one in .40S&W, which I own. Regarding the 2nd Ammd, I try to stay away from that. I live in NY where you have a better chance of being eaten by a llama than getting a handgun permit. But I guess I feel that if you can legally jump through all the hoops and pass the required safety courses and the background check, blah, blah, blah, then you should be able to. There is too much abuse of they system, the people who go about it the proper way are penalized by the lesser of us who don't. That diminishes us all. Besides, there is too much angry rhetoric on both sides, and I am fiercly apolitical and all this stuff just makes my head hurt.

I, too, knew the Lecter quote right off, but 4 and 5 stump me.

Love your taste in TV...and profession.

I have the sdtrk to "Tromeo & Juliet," that's how I know that Jane Jense is a singer, the "Monster Island" song.

Hey, Lookee, lookee, I have a picture!!! I am so smart, I am so smart, S-M-R-T!

Number 4 is the easiest one, its from "Full Metal Jacket." I don't know movies as well as you but the ones I do know I know very well. This is the scene were they are looking at the dead in the pit as they are being covered with lime and the colonel is commenting on Pvt. Joker's peace symbol/Born to Kill. The rest, well, I don't know.

I knew the last one (how could I not with the company I keep!), but I haven't even seen #1 and #4. It's kind of funny; I've never seen Stand By Me, but I've heard that quote so many times!

Update your journal, dumbbutt!
