The person below me

[shroom]

lol sure

TPBM thinks the missing plane was abducted by aliens

[theCryptofishist]

There are far too many mysterious things that can happen already, without making things up.
tpbm watched Alien Autopsy when it was first aired. And found it kind of boring...

[ranger magnum]

I thought it was pretty lame.

Tpbm over indulged at dinner tonight....

[Joeln]

Arroz con pollo - yum!

tpbm over indulged after dinner...

[Eric]

If you count doing too much work as "over indulging", then yes.



tpbm successfully avoided anything remotely "St Paddy's"ish.

[fernley1]

I did nothing for St Patricks day, no green beer, no green nothing.

TPBM don't really celebrate many holidays.

[theCryptofishist]

True.
TPBM was forced to celebrate St. George's Day as a child.

[fernley1]

No, never even heard of it till I looked it up.

TPBM has big vacation plans in the near future.

[ranger magnum]

My "big" yearly vacation is the Playa. So yes, I'm planning that. Just wish it was soon!

Tpbm is a bad ass at what they do best!

[theCryptofishist]

I dunno. I fear my snark has fallen off lately.
tpbm takes betrayal hard.

[Savannah]

I do. I'm resilient as fuck but I didn't realize until the last few years that I am sensitive, too. I don't know if I like this sensitivity bullshit.

The person below me has made peace with vulnerability.

[shroom]

mostly yes

TPBM is happy about the end of winter

[theCryptofishist]

What winter? And the fucking reservoirs and snow pack are empty...
tpbm misses the bands of his/her late childhood/adolescence.

[Eric]

Not really. The ones I like from then are in my music collection along with stuff I've discovered since then (and stuff from before I was born). I tend to be a musical omnivore...


tpbm just discovered a brand new musician that blows them away

[theCryptofishist]

I'm sorta taking a breath. I've been tearing through a bunch of new stuff for the past two or three or four years, there's a lot of undiscovered stuff already in hand.
tpbm is a "greatest hits" sort of person.

[BBadger]

Got that right. Why assault my ears with refuse-filler from the days where you had to buy a whole album?

People lament that so many plays, symphonies, songs, etc. were "lost" to time. However, did they ever consider that maybe -- like now -- that so much of the media churned out in those days was mass-produced garbage? They may have been purposely dumped and forgotten precisely because of that fact. For example, maybe the majority of Sophocles' "lost" plays were nothing more than a playwright's corn-encrusted turd, like the two-bit flicks that fill the dead-space of summer, or the wasteland of feel-good bullshit made for television movies on the Hallmark channel. Who even cares about the thousands of minuets, sonatas and other trendy music of its time? We only kept a few classical pieces from that era because there was no point in saving the others.

The Best Hits were the only ones people bothered to keep.

For good reason.

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

But now... now we have the misfortune of never losing music takes or scenes from movies. Some of those should have flushed faster than a prom-night abortion. Now they get cobbled together into the "Director's Ultimate Uncut Omega Final Turbo Collector's edition" of whatever movie is out. George Lucas has mastered this practice.

TPBM also thinks that people replying as TPBM should meet the qualifications set by TPA (A = above), not deny or deflect it to say something else -- or allow someone else to reply instead.

[Eric]

Nope - don't think there should be any qualifications on how people answer - answer long, answer short, have your answer go on a surrealistic trip through your brain. It's free-form thinking, not the SAT.


tpbm wants everything in its place, always

[FossaFerox]

Always. Which is why it bothers me so much not knowing what my own place is...

TPBM is putting off signing up for Obama's ACA but is legally required to do so in the next 4 days.

[Simon of the Playa]

you bet your ass...

i have not had health ins. or have seen a doctor in 15 years, why should i start now. fuck that shit, you can't MAKE me do ANYTHING, you're not my real mom.

TPBM loves my cognitive dissonance.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

no, but your Dognitive Cissonance is amazing.

tpbm is not going to miami this year.

[H.G.Crosby]

oh HELL no...

sfx-sillerman-middle-finger-robert.jpg

tpbm has no idea what wmc is anyway.

[Eric]

You are correct sir(s).


tpbm wonders if Simon's socks talk together off ePlaya, or only here...

[Simon of the Playa]

if you only knew...

[media]

tpbm wishes they spoke better german.

[theCryptofishist]

Das stimpt. Screibe es richtig? Das weiss ich nicht.
oh heck, I wish I spoke better czech or russian or both, too.
tpbm wishes s/he spoke better english.

[Thecatman]

Not like the English. I wouldn't understand myself. I wish I knew German though.


TPBM is hoping this damn wind would subside.

[fernley1]

Yes, the wind is bad today in Northern Nevada. I hope it will rain soon.
But I did get a bunch of Indoor burning man projects further along.

TPBM has not started any projects for this years Burning Man yet.

[theCryptofishist]

No. I'm not going.
tpbm loves my new quasi-independence...

[Elorrum]

If you love it, then I love it too.
but quasi? "having some resemblance usually by possession of certain attributes" I think you've got the whole independence package.

tpbm is quasi awake.

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, more or less...
tpbm works with yarn...

[BoyScoutGirl]

Not recently, but I did knit a scarf for AntiM's Home a year or two back.

TPBM prefers carbonated water.
