Cloud Atlas was pretty bad in my opinion. It went on for three hours, jumping around five different story lines in five different time periods, and for the love of god, one of the time periods was post-apocolyptic with people that spoke broken English, so my fiance and I only ever understood every fifth word. The movie has received reviews at both ends of the awesome-shit spectrum, but I honestly had a really bad time with it. It's a shame because some of the ideas were really interesting, or could have been.

The Twilight films are obviously not a favorite here, but I kind of wanted to say a wee bit about them.

Mostly, it's the fault of the directors, but at the same time, the books aren't paced in such a way that would make for good watching. Every installment is told in first-person, which never really seems to translate well into film. If you have read the books and can imagine an intense scene between Bella and the vampire(s), you'll probably realize that a good portion of the book is inner monologue. A lot of the conflict Bella faces is explored more in her head than she really says outwardly in the book or film. So what you're pretty much left with is angst and painful lack of interesting dialogue, in addition to no action because the book seldom had it.

I think the films make the books look worse than they are, although I know they're not award-winning material.

Semi means half, so twice a year, which makes sense because he said "twice the donations."

It's a lot of work for the team involved. I mean, maybe if we had a ton more people willing and capable of helping out with stuff, but as it is it doesn't seem possible to produce two high-quality events per year.
Think of Kurt's poor butt.

Tried to do something with Lorg's idea of a tipped cowboy hat or something. It's kind of poopy but you get the idea kinda. Lavender is the general cancer ribbon color.

Oh. Well. I'd kinda be interested in seeing your neat-o artwork anyway. Just sayin'.

I donated.

I was going to suggest Paypal screenshots for verification, but people picked that up already.

Have you considered doing a wallpaper or something and offering downloads of it for donations, Accless? Might give your hands a break.

we cant hav non that homo comnist health care

oddly enough we have an issue separating government from church, so you'd think the first instinct would be to...help...people?

my insurance ran out so i'm not sure i'll ever NOT have Cubital Tunnel Syndrome oh boy

Absolutely.

Lenses are included, you'd need to know your prescription.

My friend showed me this site http://www.zennioptical.com/

He said, "you get what you pay for, be prepared to superglue a pair together, that's why I order them in threes. but only 1 of about 8 i've ordered from there has had a major mechanical failure, and that's because my head is damned gigantic and was much too big for them."

He also said he isn't too gentle with his glasses.

I just thought this was really cool, especially if somebody doesn't have insurance and really needs glasses.

oh boy another recommendation thread

Recently finished Saint's Row the Third with my fiance, looking for more co-p/two-player games to check out if anybody has suggestions. No genre preference.

Thanks!

pls elaborate

Just now I remembered a guy I knew, probably from all these posts about people with cancer.

I'd never met the guy in person, and he was kind of quirky, but he was one of those big idea guys that probably could have written a bestseller but never had the time. He liked slam poetry, he was in college but would ask me to review his English papers. He trapped a mouse in a jar after it had been missing in his house for several days, and it followed him as he rotated the jar. At some point he had two girlfriends who brought him cake sometimes. He also had leukemia. I only found out about his death about a week after it happened, from his friend. He told me that his mother asked how the dude was feeling, and he gave a thumbs up and passed away about forty-five minutes later. Maybe it shouldn't have affected me as much as it did, but it hit me hard for a while and I even cried for that guy I had never really met.

I've never really talked about it, and I guess there isn't much to say anyway. I just think about him sometimes.

This is an interesting thread.

Ongoing clinical depression. Besides that, Hachi had me in tears by the end of the film, as well as Armageddon (well, sniffles on that one. "I love you, Harry!" ;___; ). And when my fiance, typically a hides-his-feels guy, broke down crying and all I could do was hold him. I normally lack empathy, but holy fuck.

A ton of drawing

Writing (moreso putting together ideas and skirting around the actual writing)

Reading

Fantasizing about video games I would like to help create

Occasional fiddling with HTML/CSS and web design

Psychological thriller or horror films

TV shows like GoT, Dexter and Fringe
