And although they do let interns do concept pitches, all of my limited body of work is intended for live action, low budget, or both. And it wouldn't exactly be too original to pitch cartoon firefly, lol, seeing as it's already owned by F*X.

You're coming this way? Are you insain? It's 115 degrees in Redding(the nearest town to here anyone has ever heard of) today I think. Also the whole damn state is on fire. Although if you really are that's great. When it's not too smokey to see 100 feet in front of you it's really quite breath taking here. Hahaha breath taking, my poor smoke filled lungs.

On a happier note I have the most increadable mountian view on my commute to and from work. 18 miles of trees and mountains. There is almost no traffic save the occasional slow as molasses logging truck.

FMF- it's likely they don't post a picture because they are insecure or they don't own any pics without their wife...
Oooh nails taking a beating...well at least you can paint your toenails ( oh quick opinion is sparkly polish too much on toes??)

Ok all my muscles hurt right now. I took yesterday off sick and paid for it big time as the kid ( ok he's 19 but with a 2 year old's mind) was out of control today and I lost count of the number of hits he tried ( succeeded at a fair few as well)

Anyway...only one week and one day left with this kid ( and may I say all my best wishes and thoughts to his mom who manages him all day every day)

OMG, I think this thing might actually work. :D I was sitting here thinking that I haven't checked out fff.net in a LONG time and there's a Zeebug signal going off? Zeebug feels honored. :D

Anyway...how are you all? Zeek is still bored with work, I see. The cloud of bliss is still residing somewhere over the state of NV...come on guys...share some of that with the rest of us. FMF is searching for a boy-toy (hon...if they ain't got a picture, you don't have to read the profile. That's the wonder of internet dating. You can be as shallow as you want to be and no one judges you for it.) Whitefall, HK and others are going to get us a cartoon Firefly. I'll watch that. I might even get cable to watch that. Co-Pilot is back in the boondocks of this state that really is on fire. Gack, my eyes are burning and I'm not that close to any one fire. Spaceanjl must've found room for all her books because she's got enough elbow room to poke Zeek.

:D

I'm still exhausted and over-scheduled but coping. Work is a little less frantic, but our dept. lead is leaving in a few weeks and I will be taking over. It doesn't look like they will be hiring someone for my position, so I will have to manage a slightly reduced load of my own, plus the person's who is leaving. Yeah. or not.

My horse is healing...which means I have to ride him at the walk for 45 minutes every.damn.day. It's boring to say the least. But I suppose boring is good...because the opposite would be no fun at all.

The other horse, Mr. I Broke My Leg, is back jumping up to 2'9" and is almost ready to show. That will be nice.

And that's my life. Work. gym. ride. Every day. I'm lucky if I get home by 8:30 at night. Makes for very little life as I have to try to get to sleep before 10 if I want to be a decent person for work at 7 am. I'm hoping that September brings the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. I can hold 'til then.

Okay, mulling over the rebuild in mind for my SP8 before the Oroville shoot in August before D*C. I bought another marker at an incredibly cheap price to take its place until then. Selling a smaller marker and starting maintenence on two others (SARA JANE and the unnamed SP1) also. Planning on another marker that isn't released to the public until September.

Now I truly understand how the beginning of the BDM applies to me as I justified a few hundred dollars in parts and hours of labor and testing.
It popped in as "All I have is two hands but I like to leave my options open".

CLICK! Took about half an hour longer for it to sink in completely enough. Ridiculous it is. Five markers to one guy who can only use one at a time and thinking of one more to add to the arsenal. Considering a launcher build and possible assault vehicle in the next year or so.

How sick is that? I might even be hired out soon to one or two of the teams in town, seriously.

Mercenary? Yup. It's already been discussed.

Too bad I'm not a bigger fan of grenades.

Hmmm...

Work went from boring to annoying. Now I'm once again fumbling around trying to figure out how some stuff worked because the person who used to do it left and never told anyone. Such fun. *mumble grumble*

NVGHOSTRIDER

Thursday, July 10, 2008 8:08 PM

I've though of stuff like that but came up with others. Seems the scenario in Oroville has a theme of Battle of the Spandex: A rockband War. The team has chosen the side of Twisted Sisters and I'm looking for props to use. I might even get brave and enter the field sans a marker. The last scenatio the were approved to use black wiffle ball bats with Stalker Paintball painted on them. Several guys scored multiple kills with the bats. I'm thikin' tagging people with a Wally World kiddie guitar might be cool.

*shakes something shiny in front of RugBug*

Better?

I don't have a lot here either. How about a lame ponder? How many of you guys have crazy dreams?

It seems to me that my dreams have just gotten crazier and crazier over the years. When I was younger my dreams at least were like real world situations. Now they tend to just be off the wall crazy stuff.

Last night I was traveling downtown in some non-specific city to go pick up my dry cleaning and then go take a final exam. (I'm not in any classes and I don't think I've ever dry cleaned anything) I got to the "dry cleaners" which was some weird automated room where a mechanical arm was putting robots onto a hanging rail system. Sorta like how shirts go on that hanger system in a real dry cleaners. Anyway there were all sorts of warning signs for people so we didn't get hurt by the hanging robot rail system. A co-worker I haven't seen in ages was there picking up some stuff and totally ignoring the warnings (what a rebel!) and I sorta just followed him and grabbed my shirt. Then it was off to take my final and I was hurrying really fast cause I had to get home to my newborn (I have a kid? huh? with who?!) I went real fast then got home to my "newborn". Turns out it was just a kitten. It was all cute and sleeping in a blanket I'd laid out for it while my current cat stood a ways back obviously not sure what to make of this new intruder. I went over to the kitten and it woke up and started going crazy kitten style. Jumping all over like onto my head and just basically being a crazy exploring kitten. The end.

Now that's a pretty tame crazy dream. I've had much much worse. Just me or everybody has the crazies once in a while?

NVGHOSTRIDER

Friday, July 11, 2008 6:17 PM

Crazy awesome Zeek.

Mine: I was helping a town in a ZPAW (Zombie Post Apocalyptic World) and I had a realization. I keep my hands to myself until it becomes absolutely neccessary for me to jump in. I don't help or fight until there is no other option. I say this because in the dream other people were doing the dirty work and though I was in the position to direct I didn't really do much at all in terms of disposal.

That and I reeeeeally want a silenced AK.

Not sure what that says about me.

Here's another for ya 'Bug. Money. Aphrodisiac?

I gotta give it a sorta. Buying stuff, going places, doing things. It costs money. So how does it effect out happytime and why?

I'm that way in real life. I usually stand back and let things play out unless there is an obvious problem. That's when I'll spring into action.

Mmmmm money. I recently was berating a friends brother cause he lost his shot with a rich girl. I so want a sugar momma. Mainly cause I don't like having to go to work. It's not that I hate my job it's just that I like doing nothing more. :-)

Hi Aiko...nice to meet ya.

Nope, while 5/24 is the norm now (or sort-of normal) there was a time when the imponderable threads got over a 100 posts a day. It was hard to keep up. :D I miss those days.

Zeek...interesting dream. I think your subconscious is telling you to...create robot kitties. yeah, that's it.

I rarely remember my dreams anymore. I think my brain is too full of other useless crap so dreams slip out as soon as I wake...or at least within an hour or two.

Money as aphrodisiac. Money is good, but tricky. I like the ability to do things and unfortunately, I have an VERY expensive hobby...so I'm not immune to the charm of money. But, I'm completely turned off by obvious displays of wealth. Like the guy that drove through our work parking lot the other day in a Bentley. One of the other single woman was 'hubba-hubba, who's that?' based on the car. I just said 'I wonder what he's compensating for?' Even if someone has money, it should be an afterthought, IMO. It shouldn't be what they lead with or the best thing about them.

Rugbug- yeah I miss that too... now I can only post a lot when I'm not working.

hmm crazy dream. Weirdest dream I ever had was hampster related. See I had these hampsters and was assured they were both female. Get home one day to find one of them has had babies ( figured she was pregnant when we bought her...yes I am slow)Found someone to take the babies and boom...more babies. Found homes and then boom more babies even though they'd been separated. So I had this dream where baby hampsters were falling from the sky ( sort of like the game lemmings when they drop) and I kept putting them in baskets and dishes and everywhere and it wouldn't stop...

Money- oh I do like to buy stuff and go places, but honestly I have no real attraction to it. My sis is fairly wealthy and it just seems like too much trouble. Big house, the right clothes etc... I'd rather just wear sweats and curl up with a book.

*Takes a dive back into the imponderables thread - quite glad that I only need to spend half an hour catching up these days!*

Dreams. Those are fun. That's where I get to fly and kill people and have sex with improbable people and become a pirate and turn into a man and then an animal and accidentally invent a cure for cancer - usually all in one night!

When I was in Africa my campmates used to all compare 'Larium' dreams in the morning (an antimalarial drug whose side-effects include very surreal and realistic dreams). Mine always won, and I wasn't even on larium!

Aiko - I have a tip that worked for me about the regular being chased dreams but it's a bit X rated! Not as much as FMF's 'smilie' though, which I love and is going straight into my favorites... Um, I didn't actually mean that the way it sounded!

MsB (hang in there, not long now),about your dreams, that is odd. Explain more how that works. Are you, as yourself, experiencing the dream or is it an detached story about other people? Is it a case of knowing people and places in a sort of blur without detail or is there no visual input at all?

Ok Em I am a part of my dream I am there and the action is happening to me, but I don't see the action I just know it's happening. kind of as if I were telling a story about myself or narrating what was happening to me ( I should also note that when reading a book I form no mental images and do not " see" the characters. I can hear them, but can't picture a mental image of what is happening. Also can't do the thing where someone describes something to you and you can " see" it. Visual is my tertiary processing format. I am primarily auditory with tactile as a secondary.)

Latest dream ( trying to remember ) I dreamed that I was stuck inside this building and some supernatural creature was trying to hurt the people inside, but I got irritated and told the creature off and made some plan ( sorry dream's a bit fuzzy now) to deal with the creature( kind of put the creature in time out) Then my mom arrived and told me we had to shop for my wedding dress, but that since I was getting married a second time it should be pale blue.. then I woke up:).... so have at it, analysis please?

Is it just me or did we lose some posts from yesterday? Oh well if this goes through I'm happy. It's been sad not being able to post at all.

Zeek is sleepy!! On Monday I went all crazy multi-tasking no time off style. I worked a full day and near the end a person was still having an issue with some work that was due that day. She had to run her kid to the dentist and we agreed to log in from home later to work on the problem. So, I went home and ate dinner and then logged right back in and worked with her til like 11:30pm until everything was done. That's not the crazy part though. This month I'm trying to get a lot of poker playing time in to get a bonus from the site I play on. So, I was on my computer playing 8 tables of poker at the same time that I was on my work laptop working with this lady. To add to the complexity one of the tables was different than the others cause when I logged in it popped right up that I was already registered in a tournament that night from doing well in fantasy poker. That was like a 1000+ player tournament and I got 10th in that. So, apparently I do pretty well even when distracted. hehe...not that people in a free tournament play super well but still that was fun.

Anyway that was a heck of a way to wear myself out to start the week. blah. Didn't even get to bed early last night to recover. Hopefully tonight I can at least get to bed at a reasonable hour.

What's new with everybody else?

So here I am at work again. I was hoping to see some impoderable buddies around but oh well. Just popping by to see what's going on with all of you.

I'm doing well up here in the mountains. It's beautiful and quiet and the smoke is clearing. Work is all manner of shiney.

Heya!

Just getting stuffs done 'round the office. With the site all wonky it's difficult to get in and out.

Oh, Zeek, I feel your pain. Some weekends I'll run and gun both days. Dumb on my part but oh well. It's all in good fun.

Ah free at last... yesterday the violent kid tore my rotator cuff so joyously after only a few hours today it was decided that we would not finish the day and not do tomorrow ( which was the last day)

*bouncies happily* NV gave me my birthday present early... he bought me the whole entire Buffy collection I am over the moon happy. Best birthday present EVER!!! NV

Hi copilot ...HUGS how are you

Zeek glad you're better

Oh so glad the thread is fixed

It's been torn before....not much to do but take it easy on the shoulder and do the prescribed physical therapy exercises ( which I already know) ... HUGS Zeek. Yeah but on the plus side...never have to see that kid again!!!!

And I have Buffy to watch... NV ( isn't the the sweetest most wonderful man ever) ...I have never had a birthday present that was just what I wanted before ( mom tends to buy what she thinks I should want and siblings follow suit)

I'm debating filling a friend's yard with balloons this weekend. Any idea where a person would get bird netting to keep balloons from blowing away? Any idea how much it costs in general? *Zeek hopes it's not too expensive*

MSB

Friday, July 18, 2008 9:15 PM

Ok your best bet is actually a volleyball net ( check with neighbors and such) and it's about $10 for a dozen plain ( non mylar and no decorations on the balloon) balloons filled with helium:)

Wow sounds like a sweet and fun thing to do. Any particular reason why?

Started probably 2 years ago when I dog sat for her and TPed the whole apartment throughtout the week. Basically one roll per day :-)

Then of course the backlash after a cat sitting session.

The doggie passed on since then so no key this time but I figure I should still do something.

Other suggestion: Go to a party store and ask about the decorative fish nets for a "typical" kistchy "hawaiian luau". They should be cheap.

Torn rotator cuff? YEOWCH! (Please say you had an aide [preferably male -- simply because they're built to better physically handle this type of 'manhandling'] or I'd say that the school system has some serious explaining to do.)

So if "nice" is soulless, what's "Huh. Sounds okay." then?

No clue on a container for a soul...something that's heart-like maybe (heart-haped, used as one, etc.)?

*Waves to copilot* Long time no see. Glad to see that things are looking up for you.

*giggles wildly at the animated gifs that FMF has posted* As for the "passing over singles ads without a picture" question -- not really, since it's one of the criteria that you're using. (Hope you don't end up with the guys who think "single woman" == "desperate woman who wants to hear how 'big' and 'insatiable' I am"...)

*grows slightly misty-eyed* Ah yes...the good old days of "blink and you've missed two full threads worth of postings on the imponderables"...

Money as an aphrodisiac -- I think that it's more of a "more $money$$/'wealth' == better able to take care and support a future family...", but that's my guess. Would I hit on someone just for their money? No.

Glad to hear that your horse is doing better RugBug. Bummer that the riding is theraputic walks only.

Anjl: New kitchen? Ohhh...shiny. :)

NVG, nice quote, but some things thought of by others should never be shared (and even the artists would probably try to avert their eyes on it).

Hey Ems, I've found that stress+coworker issues+free time = needing a few days lose the teacher-version of ADHD (if you're lucky). Hope it worked itself off.

here's a ponder: it's amazing how a baby can suddenly mature someone and completely change their attitude.

i just came from a cookout for my cousin (his son is six weeks old and ADORABLE), and unlike the last time we occupied the same space, there was not one disgusted look or snide remark thrown about the whole night. he actually had a smile on his face, and he was so cute holding that baby. amazing. ^_^

Babies change everything...and also they make people very happy. PLus holding babies negate anger...see babies are multi-purpose equipment:)

HK- only you would have a jar for a soul available to post...HUGS it's why I love you so ( well one of the reasons)

HUGS FMF... See I was just in the middle f wrapping Jeffrey...but then he woke up. I'll have to get the tranq gun out:)

Looks like I missed everyone. So busy lately tring to finish markers for sale and the like and now I met the guy setting up a 26000 square foot warehouse with a LARGE paintball field and no less than three shoot houses for LEO training and competitions. I'm really looking to try making money (or at least break even) off of my fellow junkies.

Yeah, strange people at the house leaving with suspicious packages and less money, strange noises and smells, people in and out at all waking hours leaving with goofy smiles...

Yeah. I might be a drug dealer.

Hugs for all. HEY! to GG whom we haven't seen for a while. Glomps for the islander teacher. Love and misses for all of you.

What did ya think of it? I thought it started on a high note and sorta went downhill from there. I don't know how Joss continually distracts me with shiny things before he sucker punches me in the gut. You'd think I'd learn but I just don't. Good old Joss.

That's not to say I won't buy the DVD and probably some t-shirts.

Anybody know where to get some big black Captain Hammer gloves? He'd be a good halloween costume. Even if I don't fill out the costume quite as well as Nathan does.

Dark Knight was good. I don't know if it was great. It had plot holes you could drive a caravan of trucks through. It was really long. The action scenes were sorta meh. Though I still liked it overall.

I'll probably see it again someday but I'm not dying to get the DVD like I am with Ironman.
