Anyone have a cure for lack of concentration? :/

This rarely happens to me so I don't know what to do about it. Every time I decide to do something I can only do it for five minutes before my mind begins to wander.
 
No cicadas in LA, at least not in my area.

I remember hearing tons of them in Italy though.

Adderall?
 
I feel since I posted once in this thread, I should totally put it out there that the dude in my avatar is not me.

:O

Despicable!

Yeah, I understand why you feel you had to mention that, but I doubt anyone really cares that much, unless you spent time in here claiming it was you.

Buckle-down, avoid high-energy food and drink (like soda or candy or junk food), turn off distractions.




Alternatively, play this song on loop and do not let yourself turn it off until you finished your work.
 
Something about her rubs me the wrong way.

It feels like she's trying too hard. And, at very least, she too willingly goes along with those that want to use the fact that she's nerdish and female as their big hook (like Bioware or SpikeTV).
I dunno, she seems genuine to me. and cute.

Man I wish it was winter here. Its gotta be upwards of 40 (104F?) degrees in my room, to say nothing of the humidity.
Well, it's been summer weather in LA for most of this and last week. I like it.

Considering my brother posted in this thread that sort of charade wouldn't last.

Also people in the thread I post in the most on GAF know who my avatar is so its not exactly a good deception!

Fortunately I already never have soda or candy. I guess the only left is to get away from GAF for awhile :< I hope that works... I'll just shut down my computer for a few hours and see if it helps get my mind back on track.
 
Best of luck. Hope the application essay wasn't too onerous.

It was a very generic prompt, actually.

I focused mainly on my international experience and the additional perspective I've gained by spending so much time in foreign cultures. I talked about how other countries have been able to solve problems that still plague the U.S., and I also talked about examples of poor policy that I've seen in other countries.
 
Although my friends give me endless crap about it, I'm a big fan of musicals and their ilk (Glee, specifically).

I've only been able to see a few of them live:

-Rent (pretty damn amazing)
-Wicked (in Japanese....it was weird!)
-some Christmasy thing I saw as a kid but can't remember....maybe the Nutcracker?

I was on stage crew in High School for:

-Anything Goes
-Grease

I've seen a bunch of movie-ized musicals that I really liked too:

-Grease
-Hairspray
-West Side Story
-Little Shop of Horrors
-Moulin Rouge
 
*in the making

But I see that he's on the way to squashing that :P

He's a kid and it's a kids show so I'm not worried about him being a Brony. It was used as a punishment for not listening well.

Hell, if I squashed his liking of MLP it would just be one less thing I could use as incentive.
 
Did you commoners enjoy your little Hat Day? Just know that peasants can wear as many hats as they like, but only the King may wear the crown.

Harumph!

I know Haunted also has an avatar with a crown but he hasn't posted in this thread so it doesn't count. Oh gosh, please don't PM him.
 
I know this is about musicals now and I apologize, but which one is better?

The only broadway musical I went to see was Rent, and I didn't like it... I was never really into musicals though.

(Except when I was 9, french musical Notre Dame de Paris was a big phenomenon at my school, everyone listened to it and we even learned the lyrics and made re-enactments during recess... That never happened again when it died down)
 
I tried twice to like a The Big Lebowski and never could understand the hype around that movie. I didn't find it particularly funny, thought provoking or even all that interesting. I know a lot of people swear by it but I just thought it was ok at best
 
I went to see Rent and got glared at for humming Everybody Has AIDS at intermission.

It's the absurdity of it all which get me, like The Jesus turning up to inform his neighbour that he's a sex-offender and looking like this angry scary dude.
 
The first time I saw The Big Lebowski I was more confused than entertained, but after I watched it again, it's easily in my top 10 favorite movies. Certainly my favorite comedy.
 
Fiddler on the Roof is my personal favorite musical. I got to see it a couple years ago during Topol's last tour.

Other favorites include Les Miserables, Man of La Mancha, Hair, and The Rocky Horror Show.

I absolutely hate Rent, though. Every character except that one landlord dude is annoying as fuck. I wouldn't have minded if all of them died.
 
Paging Lissar and Alberto to keep the thread alive.

It's what I like to call Blair Witch Syndrome. When I saw that movie the overwhelming feeling I had in the cinema was that I couldn't stand a single one of the characters, so when the spooky started going down I was actually looking forward to them all being picked off one by one.

I think Lissar closed GAF so she could get work done.

Meanwhile, I'm being responsible by playing video games and posting! Some people, you know what I mean?

Okay, RP thread. I'm genuinely curious. When was the last time you were like "Man, life is fucking awesome right now"?

In 4th grade when I got all A's and got the celebratory cookie you got at school for that.

When I moved out of my grandmother's house and into an apartment with my friends. I was finally living on my own (so to speak).
