Watching Groundhog Day on continuous loop is too meta for me.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What is the silence about, Allyson? WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
shhhh....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hang on, I might have my original backed up on this comp.

I have a line through the paragraph, I cut it because it was crap, (it's stinking pretentious crap) but must not have caught the full thing before sending it to ScoopMe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'll pretend the last words of the sentence were simply "all of them."

What is even happening?
I'm pretending Allyson was giving us some Zen lesson on understanding the silence of OoG.

I'm imagining a dramatic reading. Allyson says, "The silence is about..."
And there is silence. A sound-effects guy, picking up on the silence, puts on "*crickets chirp*"
Allyson: "I said silence, dammit!"

Just low blood sugar. Ate a Snickers. Thanks for coming.
In space, no one can hear the crickets.

My tagline and life are a work in progress.
I can watch Strictly Ballroom and Priscilla Queen of the Desert on continuous loops and still laugh all the way through.I adore Priscilla. My friends and I had a blast playing drinking games to that once. Don't remember much of it, but I do know we had to drink every time their legs looked better than ours. Groundhog Day, on the other hand, I cannot stand. For some it's Meg Ryan; for others it's Julia Roberts. For me, it's Andie McDowell. She is the one actress who absolutely ruins movies for me. Only movie I can stomach with her in it is St. Elmo's Fire. And that's just because I love, love, love the rest of it.
HA! My review of Out of Gas. I said some things that turned out to be horrendously embarassing once I found out that Tim was actually reading them.Hee! I've had this up on my computer meaning to read it for the last day and just got around to it. The embarassing part made me giggle. (Yes, I'm eight.) Giving new meaning to the term "star fucker," were ya? Fictionally, of course.
So a little while ago I came across one of Tim's old BBC interviews and there's this moment in one of the clips where there are sirens that seem to be throwing him off his train of thought and making him crazy so they stop for a bit and start again. And as they started again I could still hear sirens just the same and I was sitting here wondering if I was going crazy and hearing things or if they'd really paused tape only to start again with the sirens still there. Turns out, I'm dumb not crazy. Sirens at that point were outside my apartment, trying to give me soundtrack continuity. Very odd.
And now I have a totally nattery question for the hive mind: I'm teaching myself to knit. And the instructions I have are pretty good but don't say a thing about how to switch from one ball of yarn to another. I'm making a baby blanket so it'll be more than one ball. Do I just tie the ends together? And if so, is it going to be really hard to do the knitting thing around the knot? Help, please? (And yes, a normal person would think a text-based message board wouldn't be the place to beg for help for something like this but I figure if you all can put together marionettes online you can help me knit, right?)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ellemarie, it's sort of hard to describe this, but pretty much, you change balls at the end of a row. Finish a row with the old ball of yarn, then cut it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches or so. Then start knitting the next row from the new ball. After you've knit a few stitches and have the new ball integrated into the blanket, tie the loose end of it to the tail of the old ball, so you'll have a little knot right at the edge.
