  • The girl I am currently chasing after seems to enjoy the romantic company of my roommate more than mine.
    Ouch. That sucks.

    So my company is laying off lots of people, including some of the supervisors at my call center. Apparently, one supervisor was suspended for telling her team to do something that she was just told they couldn't do.

    It isn't, but when discussing movies, the two words mean different things. An adaptation is a movie that has never been made before, but is based on a previously existing work of fiction. A remake, on the other hand, is when you make a movie based on a movie that has already been made. The terms are not interchangeable.
    I know they are not interchangeable, nor did I use them as such.
    Noting my original post,
    With that attitude, you might as well also say they shouldn't make movies out of books.
    Were I using the terms interchangeably, I would've said

    I believe I said that I got that.
    I see where you were trying to go with your original post.
    Your reply about this not being a debate of terminology sounded like you were accusing I Lost Count of splitting hairs, which he wasn't.
  • Just seemed like you were explaining the terms to me unnecessarily.
    I wanted to keep the debate focused, and though I lost count wasn't splitting hairs there, he is wont to do so often.
  • For some reason Gmail isn't working for me at all on my laptop. It's like http://mail.google.com/ has dropped off the map, both with Firefox and Safari. I'm having to check mail on my iPod Touch.
  • I wanted to keep the debate focused,
    It's a discussion started by a fanboy who doesn't like the fact that there are people out there who want to attempt to bring good stories back into the spotlight, or at least make them more noticeable to the average Joe. In other words, there is no discussion, since how can that be bad?

    Now yahoo mail isn't working either! What the hell is going on?

    Oh yeah, and the Pittsburgh Commentators are the most horrible broadcasters I have ever had to listen to.

    This is now more or less official. Fuck.

    Shit happens. I'm sorry to hear that, but just move on and hopefully another female will come into your life.

    I find your choice of words amusing Ro.

    If it's any consolation, you're probably better for the encounter. To have loved and lost is better than to have been too scared to ever feel.

    Not that I'm a complete hypocrite by saying that. If the right* female comes along..
    *Any female with anything more than a passing interest in me.

    Well when it gets down to it, Li Akahi is young. Girls come and go. Sure it sucks she's more into his roommate, but similar situations have happened to me in the past. The point is to just go with the flow. No need to worry and mope about it. There are worse things in life to be sad about. Enjoy it.

    Seriously, was the girl "all that and a bag of chips"? Probably not.
  • Got to the radio station today, ready for the show, pages upon pages of show notes in hand, everything ready - and there's a sign on the door that says "Only Pre-recorded shows till 8PM Thanks, Barry"

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

    Barry has all of our emails on a group email list - it would have taken 60 seconds, literally, to tell us beforehand - he's the tech guy, he knows this, and didn't do it for some reason.

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    Wall-e only got one Oscar.

  • I did not check my pockets while starting laundry tonight. The result: a non-functional iPod. What's more, I lack the funding to afford another right now, being poor and all.

    Too bad your IMAGINATION stat is too low to come up with a cool name for yourself.

  • I stupidly burnt my left thumb on the coffee maker 10 mins ago. It hurts like balls.

  • Oscar fail: Mickey Rourke did not receive an Academy Award for The Wrestler. Granted, I have yet to see Milk, but I'm confident that Rourke's acting was superior.

    Everything is sorted out now. Apparently, someone threw my letter in the wrong pile.

    I lost two rolls of film I needed for my photography class. The project isn't due for some time, so I can re-shoot. But the mere idea I would lose them boggles my mind.
