[chupe666]

by a menstruating woman that the only choices on the tv right now are Jessica Simpson "singing" holiday tunes and Nanny 911.

so here i am.

 

[chupe666]

btw, i need cable.

 

[avi]

oh, you're fucked dude.

I guess you can always read a book or something

 

[deadair]

books are sweet. i'm just about to sit down with the 4th book in the Narnia series

 

[chupe666]

ooh Narnia. i need to finally start cs lewis' other non-narnia stuff.

 

[deadair]

Til We Have Faces is pretty awesome

 

[chupe666]

haven't heard of that one

 

[deadair]

but please eric, if you like fairytales... PLEASE read Phantasties by George MacDonald.

amazing.

he is the pre-curser to C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolken. he basically is the reason why C.S. started writing fairytales

 

[chupe666]

AH. now i have to go to the library.

crap.

 

[chupe666]

WAIT!

in that Criterion collection, you don't get the out-of-print ones like Hard Boiled, Rebecca, and Notorious.

eh, get it for me anyway. my mom's got the Rebecca one.

 

[deadair]

you'll thank me then curse me, because MacDonald has a ton of other books and collections of short stories.

...just drop by and pick a few up.

ERIC my chick roommates forced me to watch "Nanny 911" tonight while I ate dinner!!!!

that is one of the fakest reality shows I've ever seen.

 

[lizard]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

 

[deadair]

any of it?

 

[lizard]

only somewhat. but....I have learned that sometimes a vacuous expression and seemingly dim comprehension can lull others into a false sense of complacency. then, I strike!

 

[mindspell]

What the hell is Nanny 911?

What's a book?

Seriously though, I started Salman Rushdi's Fury and just can't get into it.... I am a quarter of the way through and it is becoming painful to read... hopefully it'll change in a bit.

Nanny 911 is this reality show where they get this expensive British nanny to come into an American household full of kids who are pretending to misbehave for a week and tell the parents (who are pretending to be bad parents) how to change their parenting.

 

[azal]

there is this new reality show about fashion designers. Project Runaway.

Well the really, really, really, flamboyantly gay contestant "Austin the Artist" went to high school with me.

btw, he's totally lying about his age. He was a senior when I was a freshman as far as I can remember. Because I only saw him get beat up like 3 times.

 

[The Dope]

Wow... that guy is ridiculous looking.
