Nukes freaked me out as a child but I can't remember any nuke nightmares then. My older brother did tell me stuff about how our military was the strongest in the world, so that make me feel safe until I got to Jr. high age.
Oddly enough, I did have a nuke nightmare around the time of the first Gulf war - I dreamt I was in Iraq when a nuke went off - it wasn't close enough to hurt me, except I was pretty sure I got a near-lethal dose of radiation. Oh, and for some reason I had to wade through a radioactive river. I remember thinking that I had a few hours to live.
They also have great drinks, and as far as the sushi goes, I'm a big fan of the Caterpillar. Enjoy your time in Denver! And, check out what the Question of the Day is in the bar and you might get a free drink out of it.
I remember when I was in hs and there was a tv movie about nuclear war. I think it was "The Day After." It totally freaked me out. I had the same feeling at the first ep of Jericho. No tears this time, though, just kind of sick to my stomach.
because (2) the sketches are NOT funny. They need to stop showing them.
I'm with you on this, Tep. The rest is just so good.
edited because The Day After is not exactly the same as The Morning After.
I had a middle school teacher who loved to talk about nuclear war and the effects of such on the skin of people. Nightmare material.
When I was a kid, our pastor gave a sermon where he talked about the effects of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Stuff about people's eyes melting and skin being burned off and what-not. Freaked me out. I forget what his point was.
The only real nuclear memory I have is of my college physics professor talking about standing on a beach in the South Pacific with his physics colleagues and sipping martinis as they waited for the test blast at Bikini Atoll to go off. He said they were knocked off their feet and were very pleased.
I remember The Day After, but it gets mixed up in my mind with that scene from Terminator... 2? The dream sequence or whatever it was where Sarah Connor is standing by the playground and... boom.
Well, that was vague.
The Day aFter caused my very middle class, white bred college to have the biggest, hughest,actually- had- to -pay- for -damages, mud fight. a strange reaction, i supposes, but it freked people out that they reverted to early childhood. I do pity the pizza guys that ended up in our quad- which was one giant mud puddle.
can't watch the T2 scene. I look away.
Project Runway anyone?
I thought that
Jeffrey's models sucked. How can so many people whose job it is to walk fail to do that so spectacularly? I liked his collection - but thought that Uli's looked the best on the runway. Michael, . . so disappointing. And all three of them chose sucky music that didn't enhance their collections. Laura's music totally worked, her stuff looked good -- but there was nothing surprising about it. After all the runway stuff was done, I thought that I would be happy if either Jeffrey or Uli won, I would understand if Michael did (for his whole season's effort) but I would not be pleased if Laura won. I think it was Michael's to lose going into this and lose it he did.
