Fun story, thanks.

As a side note, it illustrates a thing people might miss about her thinking. Man in assumed relationship with woman = other woman has chance. Man in relationship with man = woman has no chance. Not good thinking.

Absolutely- she was out of her gourd, but still it showed me a glimpse of her inner thought process.

Whenever I get an, err.., interesting patient like that, I always try to limit my time alone with them, so as soon as I got down to the general radiology area, I got a coworker to stay present for the exam. Paranoia helps..

(sorry.. I'm a 100ppp guy and forgot!)

 

[TheSeks]

But it's fun. ;_;

Not... really?

I really don't get the point of watching the Emmies or the Globes. But then again i don't watch much TV or movies so the whole congratulating actors thing falls flat to me.

(I say the same thing with Games of the Year season. I don't think there's a point to it/too subjective.)

I think there's merit in rewarding artistic endeavors. You can tell just by some of the reactions (like Gina Rodriguez) that this is something people dream about and work really hard for. Yeah, backstage politics plays a huge role, which majorly sucks, but it is still important to celebrate film and television regardless.

It's something I'd like to experience one day, not necessarily a big award, but to be able to put out my creative works and have them embraced and enjoyed.

If we're gonna go down the "no point" road, why have awards/celebration/recognition for anything?

Top of the page buddy. Gotta keep the tradition alive.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

I love how everybody's "Top 5" of 2014 is so different from one another such diversity (besides Guardians and Smash/MK8 showing up a lot but that's to be expected those were amazing lbr)

Top of the page buddy. Gotta keep the tradition alive.

But now there's some confusion, is it every 50th post or every 100th? Cuz I ain't switching to 100....

Now you're talking my language.

But really: My major problem with award season(s) no matter the media: The backroom politics like you stated. That and one persons "OMG <X>OTY!" is one persons "ugh."

It's kinda hard to take the Emmy or Globes seriously when (IIRC) the award committee is secret like the MPAA raters.

At least the VGA (er-VGX er-TGA?)'s this year was transparent with who chose what.

 

[Sibylus]

I feel lonely. My Chicago boy has been busy with work all day and texted me once to say he loved me. But I feel incredibly alone and distant from him. I wanna text him but he's busy and sounded curt with his last message. This is the first time this LDR thing has gotten to me.

The loneliness comes and goes, but keep your head up- the next time around is coming

But that doesn't mean that we should stop recognizing achievements in film, television, etc.

Yeah, I'd love to see a lot of these things get a major overhaul, but they still play an important role in advocating for the art form, and for a lot of people, this is the only way they have access to something of this nature. Even from just an inspirational standpoint I think it's very important. I know personally I've been encouraged and inspired by seeing people who are passionate about their work get recognition. And it's not because of a shiny statue or applause specifically, but just the fact that we live in a world where you can strive for these types of endeavors. It still motivates me to this day, to work towards doing things in your life that you enjoy and things that inspire you. I truly think it's one of the most important things to have, desire and drive for your life's passions, whatever they may be.

 

[Soulscribe]

Hmmm

1) Guardians of the Galaxy
2) Ultraviolence or Cheek to Cheek
3) Smash for Wii U
4) Smash for 3DS

I dunno he seemed really weird over text. I think I'm reading too much into it. But my gut is telling me something's up.

So I'm having coffee with the head of my university's LGBT group tomorrow. It's just a friendly thing (so far), but it will be nice to know someone in the group before I join. Plus, I think it will incentivise me to actually go this time, haha.

Oh, and it doesn't hurt that he's kinda cute too. ^_^

Take it from a girl who's in love with a (very) busy student, long-distance: Don't read novels into sentences, and be patient. Shooting first from your gut and asking questions later is what nearly lost you this opportunity in the first place, non?

Go get busy. you've gotta give patience and that sucks so do some stuff or binge some show that will blow time away.

How do you guys find all this pictures of fine looking men? I feel like Google search teases me sometimes. I think I should use different terms.

This is why. You need to be using tumblr.

Completely unrelated, but for anyone that runs or may consider running: Runtastic Pro is free on the App Store.

All my hot guys come from tumblr browsing. Then I keep all the people I rate 10/10 in a list of names on my phone (women too, like a list of DNA worth saving if the world ends).

Well, there is definition and then theres being able to see every strand of sinew. I can't imagine what kind of dedication in the kitchen that build takes. I would never survive it.

That guy is too lean. It makes me cringe a little. It just looks painful to be that lean!

Looks like you can directly poke his bones and muscles. I think I like a couple % higher in body fat. Like that guy wearing a laurel crown and briefs a couple pages back. I also don't mind if he doesn't have definition really. But yeah, not into the figure that comes from measuring your broccoli every meal.

 

[mantidor]

Thanks guys! It was a nice birthday all and all.

My friends came up with poor excuses, ok one has some issues with his messenger thing but he could have at least called! I'm not going to think much about it anyway, I don't want to ruin the good mood I was left with after yedterday.

 

[ab.aeterno]

Nah, don't worry about it. I may get some tea this week to help me relax more, and maybe I'll try taking some more baths. If it's a stress thing then it should be treatable with those methods.

Ha, that's my secret power, I always worry. But as long as you're not getting run down, that's good at least. Certainly, I hope aome tea and baths, or whatever else you can think of, help relax you and keep you stress free. Let me know how that goes for you.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the only one I can pick, ha. Maybe I'm just too tired but it's hard to think of much. I sank a lot of time into Destiny but hesitate to call that my GotY, even with not much competition. Can't think of the others.

I feel lonely. My Chicago boy has been busy with work all day and texted me once to say he loved me. But I feel incredibly alone and distant from him. I wanna text him but he's busy and sounded curt with his last message. This is the first time this LDR thing has gotten to me.

Like everyone else said, the hardest thing is patience and calm. Ignore your gut; it's way too easy to read too much into text that isn't there, especially if you deal with insecurity and feelings of unworthiness, which I feel as though I've picked up that you do (if that's not accurate, please correct me.)

It's going to be tempting during times like this to reach out for reassurance; that can end up being overwhelming and, if they don't respond right away, further "evidence" for an incorrect gut.

Do what you can to calm down and take your mind off things. From what I've read, he feels strongly enough that he'll reach out again when he can. Dunno for sure obviously, but if you let all this doubt into your mind all the time, it will never work out. You have to give some faith and space.

Though it's worth noting it's very hard achieving that figure at that body fat %.

Hmm, tough.

1. Not sure as there have been so many fantastic films. "Whiplash", "Boyhood", "Adieu au Langage", "Ida", "The Babadook", "The Raid 2" (I don't actually like The Raid as much as many do though; individuals take hundreds of hits with minimal sense of damage or fatigue in any sense but aesthetic and while occasionally some 'damage' is shown, such as pain moving a leg, this is almost immediately ignored as combat resumes and given that the characters are all meant to be normal humans, and the tone of the movies, this does not work for me at all. In saying all of that, The Raid 2 is magnificently choreographed and has some of the craziest scenes I've ever seen), "Inherent Vice", "Birdman: Or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance", "Under the Skin", "Deux Jours, Une Nuit", and much more I'm not remembering at the present time. I can't really pick, so I won't.
2. Don't listen to music.
3. Haven't played many games in 2014. Was The Last of Us (PS3 version) in 2014? If so, that. If not, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (PS4). I've not played Bayonetta 2 though; had I played it that would almost certainly have been my game of the year but alas I cannot afford a Wii U at the moment, nor can I justify the cost of it solely for Bayonetta 2.
4. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Vita

Spoiler

5. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (yes, I do love this game)

 

[Grizzo]

2. Don't listen to music.

Really? None at all? Don't worry i's not a criticism or something like that, I'm just always kinda curious about that because I thought music was supposed to be that universal language that speaks to everyone.

I know terrisus doesn't like music either (among other things).

(It's Deux Jours, Une Nuit by the way )

Multiplayer was a blast (with you and dd), Grinding as well. Just a shame the story soured the taste for me, or else it would be my Handheld GOTY.

Never thought I'd be spending so much time with this game. Yeah, the story mode was absolute garbage, but ultimately I had so much fun with it (especially with both you and DD) that I can overlook that

Not in the same way: Why Pygmies Aren't Afraid of the Psycho Theme. It's pretty interesting stuff about how culturally specific our apparently ingrained reactions to different kinds of music can be.

1) Either Boyhood, Whiplash, or Gone Girl. Can't decide, all fucking fantastic.
2) I love music but not albums - I usually just pick a song or two at most I like and download those. So don't really have one. I guess maybe 1989 since I love Blank Space as my song of the year?
3) Either Bayonetta 2, SSB4, or Captain Toad. Also all fantastic.
4) Pokemon ORAS without a doubt. GOTY

Too bad he is

Hmmm... I found this on his FAQ:

Thoughts on sexuality?

"Alright I get asked this a lot… as well as if I’d ever go gay or have thought about it…
The answer to if I would ever go gay is no.
Have I thought about it? No.
Do I agree with homosexual people’s preference in gender? No, but I definitely don’t judge/look down/hate them for it… They’re humans just like me and deserve the mutual respect we all should give each other. A lot of people ask if I hate gay people because I am Christian but to be honest, it’s the exact opposite. I love gay people. I think they are so charismatic and fun to be around and some of the funniest, joyful people I know. So no, I wouldn’t ever go gay, but I have a lot of gay friends and I adore them."

Well... I want to be his friend and feel his love!! :3

 

[Grizzo]

Nice body but I'm really not feeling that straight christian guy's face in those gifs

That was a really interesting read. Thanks for the link!

However, the article mentions that the Pygmies do play music (joyful, positive one), so they actually still speak that language. I guess I was just wondering how could someone not like music, since we're basically exposed to it everywhere and every single day.

Also, Grizzo, I agree.

Haha, okay then I will let you know how it goes so that you can be possibly less worried about me if all goes well. ;3

That just reminded me, I still need to watch GotG. >.>

Never thought I'd be spending so much time with this game. Yeah, the story mode was absolute garbage, but ultimately I had so much fun with it (especially with both you and DD) that I can overlook that

It was still a fun game especially because of the Multiplayer and I was even able to get a lot of enjoyment out of the single player, it's just that the story of a game is the backbone of it all, in my opinion anyway.

I hope we can find another game sometimes to play together again. Was really a lot of fun just beating bosses and chatting for hours on end. =)

I'm still not sure it could really still be said to be a unified 'language' - the article's focus was not just the superficial variances of form shown by their musical traditions, but its different cultural role. I'd argue the closer analogy would be a different language sharing the same root - still the same method of communication, but carrying distinct connotations, cultural baggage and modes of expression.

Though in regards to not liking music in general, even when obligated to consume it constantly, I can understand why some might end up viewing it as background radiation - set dressing with which they'd interface with unconsciously and not feel the need to form opinions on. It's omnipresence doesn't guarantee passion, but rather base competence - otherwise the societal obligation of literacy would turn out nothing but professional authors.
