All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I need to dither. I need to dither more than any man has ever needed to dither.
That's a euphimism I hadn't heard before.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
To use it euphemistically would be pointless right now, on account of I'm otherwise spent. Besides, my current euphemism of choice is "flip the three switches."

Hey. New board.
I'm back.
Sort of.
Wow.
I really can't say any more than that. How sad is that?

If I only had a brain...
Holy ... holy swearword of your choice.
If anybody tries to spoil you, kill them dead. Repeatedly. Go see this on opening day so that the HSQ can be fully appreciated.
Great movie.

Where, precisely, can Buffistas talk about Serenity without spoiling the unspoiled?

Did I mention already that the movie doesn't have an Israeli release date? At all? Not on any international listing of release dates I've seen so far, and not on any Israeli one?
Now, I'm pretty sure I will get to watch it. I just posted in the Minearverse thread about how I'm pretty sure that the too-prude-to-download me will get to watch "The Inside", as well. I don't know how yet, exactly, but I'm sure there will be a way. It may only take time.
The thing is, I'm completely unspoiled, regarding the movie. And I want to keep it this way. I'm guessing it will be pretty hard, come September. Oh, well. I'll have to be able to be whiney about something, right?

What is even happening?
I love the VJ-Day kiss. It makes my knees weak.
One of the reasons, I think, that MA started restricting scalping was all those concerts in the 1980s where people lined up at the box office days in advance, but all the tickets had sold by phone before the box office ever opened.I think scalping was illegal here, even then. But it was the kind of illegal that was left alone, unless you walked up to a (the wrong) cop and tried to scalp to his face, with his superior looking on. I think it was the artists and box office folks that started cracking down in response to the camp-out years.
I think scalping is wrong, because of the marketing angle. It's my product, and I get to set price according to my costs, and how much profit I want to make, and the image I want my product to have. Price is part of image. If I don't want to be selling an elite sort of product, you shouldn't have a right to turn my product into an elite product by raising the price I set.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Thanks for the link, Tamara.
On the scalping thing: If I buy a thing for a dollar and can sell it for seven, I will do so, unless it was really worth eight to me.
The thing is the ticket. Not the movie.
A thing has the value it will bring.
