I went to the Apple Store the other day to switch out my Ipod and the HBO store today and the Sopranos Finale Sale is in its last day today, 10% off. In store only, not on-line. The "Cleaver" t shirts are pretty cool. "A Film by Christopher Moltisanti and Carmine Lupertazzi" I think I am all media-ed out. meh.

Hey, if you don't want to see it, you could post "Please just PM her the answer." It would be more constructive.

Goofy scientists rocking out:

Quote:

OK, so they're not rock stars. But scientists with the British Antarctic Survey will guarantee Al Gore's promise that the Live Earth concerts on July 7 will be performed on all 7 continents.

They'll be performing during the dead of winter at the Rothera Research Station. In fact, it'll be the first time anyone outside the station has heard the indie rock-folk band, Nunatak, play at all. (Nunatak, by the way, is a Greenlandic word that means an exposed summit of a ridge mountain or peak within an ice field or glacier.)

The band's live audience won't be very big, either. Just the 17 colleagues who are manning the station during the harsh Southern Hemisphere winter.

. . .

So what do the researchers have to say about the gig?

"I can’t believe we’ve been invited to do this — it’s a fantastic opportunity to encourage people of the world to deal with climate change," lead singer Matt Balmer, a 22-year-old electronics engineer, said in a statement released by the BAS.

Other band members are a marine biologist (Ali Massey), a meteorologist (Rob Webster), a communications engineer (Tris Thorne) and a polar guide (Roger Stilwell).

"We expected to spend our Antarctic winter here at Rothera quietly getting on with our work and maybe performing at the occasional Saturday night party," Balmer added. "We could never have imagined taking part in a global concert."

I was at that time. But I didn't enjoy it. I was way too high and thus paranoid b/c I was told that people have been pulled on stage to participate.

The proper response to sebby would have been: You know me. I skim and shoot. I stand by commentary. I am naked.

Fear of splooge on the seats, floor, etc (and that fear was significantly enhanced by hash).

Um, no, I was genuinely curious. I just didn't want to ask.

Technically, a marriage being a lifelong commitment, one could say that every divorce is a failed marriage. Since the marriage is the relationship at issue, then you have, semantically, logically, a "failed relationship."

I guess you could parse the relationship from the marriage and say the relationship just "ran its course" and probably should never have been a marriage, but I don't see how that's not a "failed marriage."

Maybe you could attack the word "failed" instead, by suggesting the marriage wasn't a failure because it was merely ended by mutual agreement, both sides figuring it was better ended than continued. But I still think that's hard to dfifferentiate from a "failed marriage."

You can't give me a wedgie because I'm naked.

Oh for pete's sake. The marriage failed. It failed. Failed. Failed. Failed. However, I was and remain happy that I entered into it and ended it. I have no regrets. I think a lot of good came out of it. I do not view something that I (a) am happy about, (b) am not regretful about and (c) view as producing good things as a mistake. I am not sure why people have a problem with this.

eta: and if you read both ABBA's and my post, we characterize our marriages as failed relationships, so I am not sure what you are talking about.

Years ago, there was this place in NYC (probably still is) that featured live sex acts that this friend of mine wanted me to go see with her (huh, that never struck me as strange until this very moment... anyway) and for some reason, I was more squicked out by what I thought the clientele would be than what I would have witnessed.

I didn't go, but now I sort of wish I would have.

I feel the same way when I look at my green card.

IIRC, you went from well-hung husband to well-hung boyfriend. And now, you've lost your love of the cock. Had you never married the first guy, you might still have your love of the cock. That's something to regret, isn't it?
