Hey! Welcome back, I remember you fairly well but don't remember any pillow fight or any other fight with you. :p

I am okay, just a little bit busy these days. What about you? :)

[Linda La Cagnin]

With reference to E.M. Forester's book, A Passage to India; does anyone know what really happened to Adela and Dr, Azis in the Marabar caves? Also, how would you compare this book to Salmon Rushdie's Midnight's Children?

Hi pensive.

sorry mix up. I remember a pillow fight which then became some wrestling match over one of the guys in litnet, all in the name of fun and all my fault. :-) I cant remember exactly who though...Themis and someone I think, I assumed it was you.

NIGHTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

Why can't I find anything in the library? Why are there so many different sections? How was I suppossed to know my library has a "High School Reading" section?

[Nightshade]

welll lets see do you know what band of library you have?

wait this is an american library isnt it...well the theory is the more you break it down the easier it is to find things (rubbish if you ask me but Ive yet to get high enough to change things).

Now gerally speaking your going to have a classics/ general fiction/ crime/ children/ young adult and maybe a hstorical fiction not to mention romance and westerns area. oh and scifi/fantasy

The idea liek I said id to make things easier personally I always say as the library assistangt its what we are there for. well one of the reasons, you might try looking on the tinternet to see if your library has 'gone digital'.
Otherwise your not really expected to know these things you learn as you go on course its agony when they start to change things but take an hour or so every year to just wonder round see what manic new sections have popped up... I used to do it every few months but then our library isnt very big:D

of course you might just have a nasty library we have one of those near us and its not really nasty I guess except they have those horrible rotating shelves where they just pile anything and everything on and it makes no sense at all.

[Niamh]

A highschool reading section?:confused: really?

[Nightshade]

A highschool reading section?:confused: really?

Not really so rare as you might expect depend son the proximity of the closest highschool and the state of their library or a case of combined fundings from multiple schools in the area for one good book centre.

[papayahed]

I don't know why they don't lump everything in one big alphabetical category.


Ok so I did go back and look at the database and it does list my book in the high school section. but still it's counterintuitive especially since every other book by that author is in the general fiction section.

[Basil]

I don't know why they don't lump everything in one big alphabetical category.
What's astounding to me is that in this day and age bookstores would still have a separate section for African-American literature. Trips me up every time....

[Nightshade]

Actually had to design somthing for coursework book website and we got into a tiff about weather African american/black british and GLB books ( fiction and nonfiction) should be sepreated from the rest or not.

[papayahed]

I wonder how people know, I mean for a lesser known author with out a picture in the back? Does the publisher tell you?

[Basil]

I could understand nonfiction falling into the category of "black studies": writers like W.E.B. Dubois, Albert Murray, etc. But why in the world should the work of Toni Morrison be literally segregated away from general fiction?

[Nightshade]

because apparantly it deals with 'black' issues, its somthing I cant get my head around personally but I dont understand alot of things and if its what people like *shurg* who am I to argue....although if anyone ever came into a library where I worked and asked me where the 'black' section was Id get very very annoyed. But then again luckely for me public libraries cant divide into those kinds of sections by law anyway.

And paya its about the themes rather than the author.

[Scheherazade]

NIGHTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

Why can't I find anything in the library? Why are there so many different sections? How was I suppossed to know my library has a "High School Reading" section?Your library must have a website? If you can reserve books through their website, your books will be waiting for you, nicely packed, anytime you go to the library! There is a small fee for that service here (50p) but it saves lots of hassle and at least the money goes to the library!


And paya its about the themes rather than the author.You mean regardless of the author's racial background?

[Nightshade]

well there are those who would argue that no 'white' person could ever write a 'black' book but in theory yes regardless of racial backgroud/ sexual orientation if we are talking about GLB literature for example is it maurice? by forester ...oh wait google that hummm well I cant think of one oh I know the works of Wilde wouldnt fall under that category because they dont fit as it were.

[Scheherazade]

Night, take a deep breath and start from the beginning, please? :)

You are saying you can find non-black authors in African-American section? Because the books are grouped according to their subject matter rather than the origin of the author?

[Nightshade]

Correct, in theory but in practise its rare becasue of the objections to the possibility of someone who is non black being able to relate to the situation accuratly and realistically. In the end whatever the policy it tends to go back to the orignal catalogers interpritation of the field.

[papayahed]

huh. interesting.

Sometimes I do that but I was only going in for 1 book (Slaughterhouse Five), and I checked the website to make sure it was there. I figured I could just run in and grab it. And that's when trouble ensued.

[Nightshade]

ah yes Im familiar with that ....it happens to staff to, the computer say on shelf go to shelf is it there...Nooooooooo and then we have to run around and look everywhere most annoying, I like the idea the uni library has, they have a table with sign dont put it back yourself let the staff do it.

[papayahed]

Oh and what's worse is that they also have a paperback section. Why???? Why can't those be on the shelf too????

[Nightshade]

I guess it a pretty big library then?

[papayahed]

I guess it a pretty big library then?

mmmmm, I don't think it's big, maybe medium. The paperback section is actually just 3 of those circular racks.

I find MMO's annoying. My brother plays one, and has just switched to another, I don't see how one can justify spending twelve hours playing a fruitless video game. Reading a book, yes, since it has a clear defined goal, but those damned things just suck up time and have no point to them at all.
(It really pee's me off when he just sits there like a mindless goon!)

[quasimodo1]

Dear Janine: I'm sure you remember the movie "Bridges over Madison County" or something like that...I loved it. Perhaps we can collaborate something of an opposite theme and call it "The Bridges over Deleware Valley" and discuss everything from stressful commutes to jumpers. Seriously though, a movie which is opposite corrolary to another has a certain appeal...yes? Now, if I can just get a job with the National Geographic. quasimodo1

Hi Quasi, it is "Bridges of Madison County" and my friend, Lynne, told me she laughed through the whole film. Well I really liked the film. I did not see her sick sense of humor; I guess I like sad stories and the two actors as well. I suppose you read my post about the film and trying to recognise the bridges in the Delaware Valley. I really did have to go back and try to identify them. I get obsessed with these trivial things. "Fallen" - that was the name of the film. I had not heard it was being filmed in PA; but then again, I think I did hear about a filming a couple years back. That must have been the one.

Not quite sure what you mean by this statement "Seriously though, a movie which is opposite corrolary to another has a certain appeal...yes?" - are you referring to the new Bridge film we will collaborate on?.....pretty funny that one would be but we have enough bridges over the Delaware that it should be a feature film:lol: ! Now will it be a National Geographic special for HBO? You have some wild ideas! :idea: Will they do the funding? Janine

[quasimodo1]

There are so many stories just in my small experience relative to these many bridges. A friend of mine, now deceased, almost ran over a bridge authority policeman coming back from the shore. I'll let you speculate as to the circumstances of that one. I almost went over the Burlington-Bristol towing a truck that was too big. Lost brakes in a driver-ed car coming down the PA side of the Walt Whitman. It goes on a little. As for funding, I think we'll have to call Spielberg or United Artists. quasimodo1

quasi, do you mind me calling you that, now that we may be film partners? It is easier than the full quasimodo 1. Many called Hitchcock "Hitch" :D Your stories are cracking me up. :lol: I can see this would be a very entertaining film indeed. Now here is one that my friend, Lynne, could rightfully laugh her fool head off about.:lol: So you think that Speilburg or United Artists might fund the project? I got to thinking - it could be "a typical day in the life of a toll booth collector" that could be the tagline - I am sure these guys have plenty of stories on the line of the ones you described. Not a good idea to plow down a cop; glad he missed. Will it be part of the plot? maybe the highlight of the film?
:thumbs_up :thumbs_up as Siskel and Roper say.

[quasimodo1]

To Janine: If Kevin Smith can finance "Clerks" by maxing out five credit cards, then I bet I can get Spielberg and United Artists to fund this one.

[Janine]

To Janine: If Kevin Smith can finance "Clerks" by maxing out five credit cards, then I bet I can get Spielberg and United Artists to fund this one.

quasi - I assume you don't mind me calling you that. Did you see "Clerks"? It was not exactly my type movie. My son thinks it is hilarious. Maybe it is a generation thing...hmmm. Well, wasn't "Clerks" low budget, for heaven sakes? Most of the plot (non-plot) took place either inside or outside the run down convenience store. Our film might run into a lot of expense with special effects - action on the bridges, stunt drivers running over cops (or nearly), student drivers losing their breaks on the Tacony, not to mention wide-body trucks knocking the side rails off the bridge. Also, consider all those arial shots - lots of helicopter work. Could add up! :lol:

[quasimodo1]

Dear Janine: Just being a wise guy about the "Clerks" thing, you know this screenplay thing is something like a flu with me, or maybe it's when I'm really well, anyway since the movie "Swimming with Sharks", the possibilities seem a bit remote. Your right about the budget though, right now I think we could do it in "super8", dubb in the sound later. You think maybe there might be a plot somewhere? Anyway, got to go out to the store for my son. Hope to post later but then some of us work for a living. Oh, I thought of a title..."Easy Pass". quasi

[Janine]

quasi, "Easy Pass" sounds reasonable to me - good title....could be taken a few different ways - yes, ideal title, but what happened to "The Bridges of Delaware County"?...that could be a real good spoof on the other film "TBOMC". Was there a plot in that film. I don't think nowdays you even need a plot, do you? :LOL:
By the way, I missed "Swimming with Sharks" - was it good? I have seen it in my library from time to time, but did not take it out yet.

Hey, can't anyone identify the last picture posted? I guess LTFR really has us stumped this time.

It is not "MacBeth", right?

[pinkmoon]

Hello..

How are you:)?

Who ? Me?
I'm fine.
I missed you:D

[miss tenderness]

Thanks alot,Pinky:blush:

glad to hear that you're doing good:)

[quasimodo1]

Dear Janine: You are right, the Bridges of Deleware Valley, or County is best title. Did you get a message telling us to move to general chat? No problem. Anyway, I'm getting this image of Clint and Merill staning in from of the first I-beam of the Benjamin Franklin posing for a kodachrome. As for "Swimming with Sharks", the movie, it's a devestating indictment of the screanplay to movie process, a little rough to watch. Be that as it may, a plot may thicken but first to take care of some mundane business. For now, better to keep the day job. Sincerely, quasi

[Janine]

quasi, I don't know. What exactly is "Swimming with Sharks" about? I did not know if I wanted to invest the time in viewing it. Is it a comedy or a satire?
Yes, I see we got moved - not too surprising. Oh well, better to discuss the film project in here, not in movie scene thread. Yes, Merill and Clint....hmmmm, but then again they are a bit aged now and we need 'fresh blood' in this film, but the aging factor could add humor to the production, at least for that shot. Maybe their kids could star. What day job? :lol: - J

thing about being mad is that if you realised you were mad then you'd not be mad. for example, if you didn't believe that the hallucinations were seeing was real then you'd not be 'crazy.' Still, I think you'd have a kind of inkling that things are not quite right.

Hi Toni. :D It seems as if I missed your birthday - I was just now trying to find your thread but was unable to do so. So I'll wish you a late one here, if I may. :) How was it? Did you receive something special? I never ended up mailing that soccer ball across the world . . . .

[toni]

Why, Thank you very much, David:blush: I had a great time during my birthday, it was just a simple but special one with my family and all my favorite food.. hihi.. I received some stuff for my birthday but what was memorable to me was the birthday card I got from my baby brother! And of course, the poems and the heartwarming messages from our Litnet friends!! :nods: The soccer ball? Dont worry about it;)

[ShoutGrace]

I think that simple gifts can rightly be considered the best gifts. :) The most memorable days are easy ones spent with family and friends, and I don't see any reason to be extravagant or materialistic on birthdays.

I'm glad you enjoyed yours. :nod: How old is your baby brother? For one of my birthdays my niece gave me a card - all she could do was hand paint it (she didn't know how to write anything or paint at the time). Having her shyly hand it to me is one of my best birthday memories.

[toni]

I couldn't agree with you more about the gifts:nod:
Oh wow, your niece is very sweet! My brother is 11 years old..In his card, he thanked me for having the patience to teach him his lessons ( I'm his tutor ;)) and that he is very thankful for having me as a sister and that he loves me very much! And he drew all sorts of images on the card that represented my interests.. ie. a soccerball, theater masks, Shakespeare.. :D It was tearing after..

[ShoutGrace]

That sounds wonderful. You're fortunate to have such a sensitive brother, and he is fortunate to have such a quality sister. :)

[Nightshade]

Ahhhh I should have told H I wanted my dvds back already....now I want to watch firefly.........*sulk*

[papayahed]

It's that good?

[RobinHood3000]

Like you wouldn't believe.

[Nightshade]

It is Id lost my disks for months then found them and lentthem out and he keeps asking me if I want them back straight away but the guy loves them SO much and is so stressed I havent the heart to say YES NOW!!

Plus he made me a cake..... :D

Its an amazing series Paya...think all the best of cowboys and pirates and spacey people and good old scifi/fantasy all jumbled up and you might be getting just the start of an idea.

[Idril]

It's just so dang funny and the characters are very well rounded, there's so much to like about them, even when they're disgusting you at the same time (I'm thinking about Jayne here. ;) ). The weird thing is, I don't even like westerns but I love this show...I haven't quite figure that out yet. :lol:

[papayahed]

Maybe I'll move it up on the netflix list.

[papayahed]

Ok, so I caught an episode of Torchwood. Did this just start?

And I also saw an episode of Dr. Who which I haven't seen before. What's up with that?

Yay for torchwood!

It started in the US. but it's being going on for a while on BBC.

I don't think it's a new episode, I just think it's new to me.:lol:

[Nightshade]

The last doctor who episode was called the last of the time lorda and there wont beanother one till 7pm english time on christmas day... .

Torchwood started around october time last year ( I think) the second season is due realitvley soon...
No wait it was robin hood in october so torchwood must have been January *shrugs*

So how does torchwood spinoff from Dr. Who?

[Bakiryu]

Does this help? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torchwood


(I actually memorize useless facts about dr.who while watching it on Veoh :blush:)

[Nightshade]

bah well in the middle of series 2 I think the 7 year old could tell you the exact episode number but whatever..Rose and the Doctor meet queen Victoria save her from a warewoolf alien theing and proceed to generally freak her out.
Queen Vic in her wisodom says the doctor is amoral and trouble follows him everywhere and she bans him from her kingdom forever.

The estate this all happens at is called Torchwood at the very end she sets up a special guard to protect the kingdom from things like the doctor and other aliens. Torchwood is coincidently an acronym of Doctor who. who they belie is there greatest enemy..and from that time they hunt him ( though he doesnt know it) after battle of Canary warff the old torchwood is destroyed and Captain Jack takes over Torchwood in cardiff which is built over the rift in space and time that was caused by the slytheen, the darleks and the cybermen.

Im not that bad really its just my sister watches them all the time I think we are currently on our 4th or 5th rerun of the whole thing.

[papayahed]

How does Jack take over Torchwood???

Perhaps I should just watch, It seems I missed most of season 2...

[Nightshade]

He doesnt explain it... that I rember but didnt see all the episodes...in the last of the time lords he says somethings but Im not giving that away as that is the best bit of the whole episode.

[papayahed]

Come on Night..... You can tell me....;)

[Nightshade]

Nope you have to watch and find out...:p

[Nightshade]

well you have to wait till season 3 although actually he does say a similar thing in one of the torchwood episodes...:D

[Bakiryu]

Fine. I'll get it on veoh! meanie.

[Nightshade]

tut tut tut... well you had better watch it on BBC as well ...other wise you are stealing money from the next show..and then theyll cancel it :bawling:

[Bakiryu]

Surely, it's the right place. You can chatter about anything (as long as the forum rules go) over here from the dress you bought to the highest thing you achieve. :p

I wish you goodluck with university but try not to take too much tension of studies. They do need attention but it's best when that attention is mostly free of tension. :D

[symphony]

and is this the right place to express(again) how damned happy i am to be still enjoying the holidays?! :D

[Pensive]

Eureka Eureka! :banana:

Hey, what are u studying at uni. if i may ask? :)

[SleepyWitch]

of course you may not ask... the impertinence. tsktsk :D *joking*
English and Geography to beomce a teacher.
what about you? are you student?

[Niamh]

Back to college? Still on holidays?:bawling: Being in the real working worlds pants....!!!!!:(

[IndifferenceNME]

I'm a teacher...certified in English, Spanish, and psychology...

[papayahed]

I knew this was the thread!

I just finished the first Firefly disc. So far so good, does the captain become less of an *** soon?

[NikolaiI]

Never read it.

Come on, people! Let's get posting!

Firefly's awesome! The captain gets a little better...It seems funny after a while

[papayahed]

Hey Nights Back - Let's talk Firefly.

[Scheherazade]

I like "Beagle Clause" better.

[Taliesin]

We're watching Lost. Only it is taking time to load. So we are listening to Goblin, which is the name of an Italian progressive rock band and also one of our best friends.

[Scheherazade]

This summer my nephew made us watch all 3 seasons during the holidays.

Which season are you watching now?

[Niamh]

I never got into lost....

[NikolaiI]

I have a beautiful, beautiful Deep Purple melody running through my head and humming it.

[Taliesin]

The second one. It is almost over. The second season, We mean. This part is about at a third.
Now Locke and Eko are walking through a jungle.
We are watching it so we could be done with it for a while - it starts to disturb if you don't know how it is going to be.
We are trying to write a dark-fantasy urban dystopic story but it is a bit hard to concentrate - we mean - there's that story, Lost, and this forum, plus music we are listening to. Now we finished listening to Goblins on radio and switched to Vennaskond.
Concentration...

[papayahed]

"Nobody gonna take my car
Im gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
Its gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh its a killing machine

Like a driving power big
Fat tyres and everything"

Yeah with the Mad World (man that does make up a good pun). So has anybody else experienced the same too? Tending to listen to the Mad World again and again?

~ BTW, welcome back, Night!

[AdoreroDio]

I am tired.I thought I'd state that so that anything that I type will not be taken as that of a completely coherant person.
Mad World? Never heard of it. I've seen the movie It's a Mad,Mad World But never heard of that.....

We are doing one in work at the moment. We call it Kris Kindle. We have a max of €15. A lot of presents are now under the tree in the office, but none for me yet!:(
But you can see the difference in value of the gifts. There are some that are about €20 and others that are only five. I'm terrified to know what someone will get me!

I figure it's a crap shoot, you put your money in and wait and see what you get back. I also participated in one through another website and I'm freaking out about what I got my giftee; I'm hoping she likes it, she didn't leave a whole lot of clues in her posts. All I could go by was that she liked baking and sour jelly bellys.

Sounds familiar but I don't remember.

[Nightshade]

Yays...wait what did we get last year ... I cant rember... and Im sorry to say though I remebr sending a gift off cant rember what I got..:blush:

[Nightshade]

Does anyone rember someone once posted picture of beautiful libraries on the litnet
any ideas where?
:confused:

[AdoreroDio]

recently? I remember libraries being posted in the Give a Gift to PAM thread....

[Nightshade]

no about a year an half -2 ago.

[AimusSage]

But we were still discussing the perfect partner were we not!!!?

[Nightshade]

yes we were but I still think the thread goblins might try and eat us iif e continue to take over threads....
Anyway as I was going to say you dont need a heart to assisntate someone it merely requires logic, or greed... a mind if you will and ears to be whispered into and I must say 16 ears gives alot of chance to perduade it to chop you up int turnip fertalizer!:p

[AimusSage]

Rubbish, you're just jealous and wish you had 16 ears :p

[Nightshade]

What would I do with 16 ears, pray tell( oh dear it seems the costume dramas are taking ove my mind...:eek: ) however as I was saying... Im tone deaf rember? I have no need of 16 ears... nor do I have great fire of what did you call it? requiring ventillation no Im safe with 2 ears..
You just dont want to admit that I as usual am right... but cast your eyes on my siggy and you will find that I am always right

:p

[AimusSage]

I looked at your signature, and found no indication that you are always right. :p What is it you refer too, Oh, is it the thing about your word being beyond contestation? You are quite right, it is so absurd that any contestation of what you say would only give it more validity of reason. So there we have it, a quite insane answer to the universe, but not the rest, so we are all still left guessing why you think 16 ears is not the pinnacle of evolution.

[Nightshade]

Because it is too much, although Id have no object to an extra pair of arms or too, think how fast the shelving would get done Id really be super librarian, then Id oust the great ledger and rule the world
*que the evil laughter*:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[AimusSage]

One can always dream, but the shoulders of giants do not carry the weight of the universe by mere strength of many arms.

[Nightshade]

Giants sholders...
were they the Titans aimus? who held the universe? what am I talking about
its the giant turtle!

terry Pratchett has altzimers :bwling:
Did I mention I saw him in RL? at the train station...

[AimusSage]

The Giant Turtle? What was it doing there? :confused:

And no, it's not a giant turtle holding up the universe, it's the father of the universe ofcourse, well, he used to anyway...

[Niamh]

you saw Terry Pratchett! cool!!!
Does he really have Alzhiemers? thats a shame!
I thought doctors said people who read and write alot are at less of a risk of getting Alzhiemers?

[Nightshade]

Yes he does,he has early onset, but he reccons he still has couple of books in him before...

Nim, cant you convince aimus that 16 ears are too many?

[AimusSage]

don't pull her into your side! 16 ears are the right number to have.

[Niamh]

:lol:
Sorry Aimus! I got to agree with the Mistress Nightshade on this one. thats just too many ears!

[Nightshade]

HAHAHA!!
See told you I have logic on my side:p

[AimusSage]

:lol:
Sorry Aimus! I got to agree with the Mistress Nightshade on this one. thats just too many ears!

You're all insane! Really, how is 16 too many when it is quite the right number, everyone else in the universe agrees so why not humans? Silly bunch you are. ;)

[Nightshade]

But aimus havent you heard? we are the poinnicale of evolution!
or wait was that the cockaroch?
do roaches have ears?

[Niamh]

Or maybe we just have better sense than the rest of the Universe Aimus!:p I dont think i'd like to here the effect of a fog horn on 16 ear drums. Ouch!

[AimusSage]

But you all still agree that the rest is perfectly alright, so I am not too bothered, afterall, nobody is perfect, except someone with 16 ears, so what else could I expect of you? I comment you all for trying though :p :D

[Niamh]

you'll see sense eventually Aimus.... :P

[Nightshade]

yes when it gags him with its 6 arms because its 16 ears can not bare the noises he makes by eing alive any longer and finally Kills you!
