I'm sick of the people replying to such threads. It's easier to just let them die and sink away, as avoiding them is almost inevitable.

BTW, Hey everybody! And just like that though, I'm off to bed. I'm a bit too young to be hanging around here at all hours of the night.

Yep - on the most recent one I was going to add a comment that "and we Jews of course make up the rest of Hollywood that is not gay" but thought why bother.

There is some pretty self-rightous indignation that assumes that there could be no other motive other than homophobia in choosing one over the other.

But, onto other things. It has been quiet not for a few hours, and my wits are slowly returning.

I should know for sure about HK in the next few weeks. I have been puting the true job hunt on hold until that info comes in, as well as my bonus check is cut.

Vancouver only seems a little bit more affordable than where I am. There are parts of LA I could get more for the money, but again, I really don't want to live there.

Wow.
The ludicrous redundance of the board tonight has set my heat to trobbing.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 12:50am

How are you doing tonight SP?

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 12:53am

Sore throat, long day of podcast interviews, sick of threads, really sick of school.

I am not sure if that covers it, but it is close.

What are you studying at school?

I hear ya on the redundancy of the threads. The Crash/BBM/Pimp threads didn't hit 74...or even 47...but the circular arguments, stubborness, narrow-mindedness and victim-playing of some of the posters just has my blood rising.

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:00am

I keep alternating between blood rising and just being REALLY freakin' annoyed.

You should be happy to know that there is MAJOR BWW Idol promotion on the new podcast. And 2 of the top 4 are on in extended interviews.

I am in seminary and graduate school actually. I am studing religion and international affairs. Emphasis on trying to find common ground between religions. Also the history of religious theatre.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:02am

I think I would prefer more construction than these endless Brokeback threads. I am tired of being called, or implicitly called a homophobe just because I happen to like a film.

I love gay men - that has been part of my problem!

Anyway, don't let that blood rise, save it for those that deserve the wrath of the SP!

I will be going to bed soon, but have a great tomorrow everyone.

Perhaps you should PM JesusUnlimited for her thoughts on the issue of religious theatre!

How are you finding IR? Some days I wish I'd done a Masters in Public Policy, but I'm hoping to study international law and pursuing a job in IR or international human rights.

I can't tell you how many times I've hit Reply on the other thread, started typing, then went, "Ahh, forget it. Just not worth my time." I've done it at least 4 times in the last 10 minutes.

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:09am

I have done the same thing. I have made my decision, I am sick of it and will say no more on the boards. It is REALLY going nowhere.

Being a Unitarian Universalist I am afraid I am too "Dark Sided" for poor JU. I do wish I could have actually argued with it though.

Most of what I have been doing I enjoy. Mostly I keep wishing I had done a more traditional program in IR that does not assume the pesky "religious" mantle for me as well. There are some times I think it is worthwhile and we are near a breakthrough. Often though I think the entire endeavor is "Brokeback v Crash" on the world stage.

Oops, I missed your post, YWIW! Have a great tomorrow as well.

I can actually feel my blood pressure rise when I read more of the posts on that thread. Am I alone? Should I close this window? I can't stop looking - it's truly masochistic.

What's your master's thesis for Religious IR? Do you have a dissertation coming up? Is Yoda in the same course?

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:14am

Years ago, I studied International Relations with a focus on East Asian Studies.

Your studies sound really interesting.

And yes, it is painful to read that thread. I just ask how the weather is because there is nothing more to say without going over the same crap again and again and again.

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:15am

Yoda is librarian.

I also keep checking the threads. I wonder how long "Masachists Anonymous- the thread" would last?

I am bouncing ideas with my advisor, which is hard since he is on sabattical in Spain. I will get there, I am in a LONG program, so basically I have 2 more years.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:18am

So Yoda does all of the real work, huh? (j/k).

Are you going to teach in college, or what do you want to do with the degree when you finish?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:19am

Wow, two MORE years? How long is it to start with?? What ideas do you have in the mean time?

Oooh, IR with a focus on East Asia would be fab!

I think my biggest problem is I've got too many interests and I'm so hedonistic that I refuse to believe I have to narrow them down to one. Film? Politics? (If politics, in what capacity?) Law? (If law, which one? And do I want to study law, or use law to pursue something else?) Journalism? (And if so, what type?) It's so counterproductive. And now what has all that ambition led to? Me sitting here, talking to you folks on a Monday night, instead of working, which I should be doing.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:24am

Okay, that's it. Your people's company is great, but I can't stop clicking on that other thread, and coupled with my PMS, I'm getting far moodier than I ought to on a topic that doesn't even concern me.

I'm off tonight. Watching "Crash" and "Good Night And Good Luck"! Huzzah!

Have a lovely tomorrow, folks. I'm sure I'll talk to you then. Maybe I'll give Idol one more bump for good measure.

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:25am

My inability to narrow it down is what has me in the mess I'm in Tiff. I still have no interest in being boxed in.
What am I going to do? As much as I posibly can.

I will share some ideas when I am not sick, tired and slightly angry.

Yes, that is 4 years total but it is a double masters. MA-MDIV.


"No Yoda does all of the real work, huh? (j/k)."
Not a joke at all, it is very true and VERY appreciated.

Tiff my love.... let's just snuggle.. I promise I won't lean against your bruised parts..

ahhh..the Oscars.... I have only one regret, but not being SAG and for many other reasons, I don't get a vote no matter what..

I didn't want Clooney for Actor... I was split between two others...

The opening montage about gay westerns made me laugh and cringe with discomfort at the same time...

I mostly drank beer and laughed with my softball buddies while DD moaned "more awards! Where are the damn awards! NO MORE MONTAGES!" :)

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:28am

Those montages were the worst part of the show! The pacing was great aside from them. (And Ben Stiller's painful...what would you call it? Ben: I'm blowing Spielberg's mind. Cut to Spielberg: No you're not. Classic.)

Let's snuggle, Fido. Go bump Brothers.

Who did you want to get Best Supp Actor instead of Clooney? I'm about to start watching GNAGL and Crash now.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:29am

Good night all.

And SP - I was the research editor for my school's law review magazine, so I do sympathize with Yoda.

Have a good tomorrow all. And Tiff, take care of those aches and pains.

Off to play with the cats a bit before I go to sleep.

(ooh, that almost sounds dirty!).

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 1:32am

I find if I sit a lot, my back doesn't hurt, until I shift a bit. So it's getting better!

You go play with your kitty...er...kitties now! (Notice your signature is still in tact!)

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 2:10am

No one has said a word about it. Must be the arrow. Or, that they are so damn cute.

Night. I hope everything plays OK. There may be a skip here or there.

Shalom
Zai Jian

and all that stuff.

[FidoRock]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 2:43am

I hadn't realized those were cats in the avatar..

this cold and allergies hit me harder than I thought :)

[Jane2]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 9:35am

Those of us watching at my friend's house loved the montages! I wish there were more.
