I mean... So I have been looking into this whole flat earth thing... Has anybody else seen this. I try hard to be open minded, but people really believe this. I apologize if any of my family here is offended by this... But for reals.
Oh yea, I saw the flat map about ten years ago. It's genius! Very cool. I wouldn't have conceived of how it works till I saw it myself. It's a must-see for any intellectual.

The flat map is fine, if that's whattheywant to believe. But it's everything else. The sun is only 32 miles wide, and 3000 miles above the earth. That means Australia is further from me than the sun. Gravity doesn't exist... Instead we are all either held to the ground by magnetism that doesn't only effect metal or, and this is my favorite, the flat earth is moving up so fast through space that when you drop something it's actually the earth catching up to it instead of it falling.

Also in the flat earth model the sun would never set, just go low on the horizon and then work it's way around the horizon to come up the other side.

The book is literally Pride and Prejudice with some zombies thrown in. Jane Austen is even credited as co-author. From what I've heard, the movie is the same way, but the advertising is misleading.

If it's straight up Pride and Prejudice with some zombies thrown in, and it's not a comedy... who'd want to see 2 hours of that? That doesnt sound appealing to me. I mean, if you've already seen/read P&P, why would want to see it again with zombies? Seems the best qualities of both simply strangle each other out.

LOL! IKR? I have admit, Gone With The Wind and Vampires is something I'd see. (Good idea, Angra! But ya, Wuthering Heights and Aliens sounds snoring.)
I really dont think this film will get you into P&P. If you read some of the P&P plot in Wiki, you'll know what to look for, & may quite enjoy it.
I remember watching some as a teen with my mom, and not getting what was going on. Film-wise, It plays out in subtly (I would suggest), so you need the framework before you can enjoy the draperies.

That film was alright. Looked good, decent FX and premise. Wanted a little more plot and character depth, and less CG action.

The Cabin Fever Remake is actually really interesting. Its damn near a word for word remake with a couple little additions. Its basically a different visual take by generally the same people who made the original. It could be really interesting.

I recently bought this thing a guy threw together called a "micro cade", for those who know what this kind of thing is, it's somehow built off Raspberry Pii?
Anyways, it's a "console" for lack of a better term.
It has two super nintento style controllers, and HDMI connectivity for use on modern TVS, it displays in a square window but in 720.
On it, is pre loaded Sega game gear, SG1000, master system, mega drive (genesis), NES, Super NES, turbo grafx 16, gameboy/colour, gameboy advance, commodore 64, arcade M.A.M.E, Atari 2600 7800 and lynx, and a few more.
...seems like, there's every game for many of those consoles on there.
On my tv, with wired controllers, just like they should be.

Speaking of gaming, I just beat Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the 6th time. I haven't played it since I was 11. Zelda and Mario games are pretty much the only games I'm good at, and I love playing them. Getting a little nostalgic since these were the games of my childhood ::embarrassment::

I have never actually played twilight princess.
The closest game I have played to that one is...the kind of cel shaded one that was on gamecube I think?
You sailed around a lot in it.
I also played one for the DS a little while ago...quite good, if not a bit gimmicky with the DS stick thing.
Have you ever had a look at the Zelda games before that?
I mean I'm not talking about going right back into the NES era - though there's no shortage of fans for those titles either.
But SNES had just this excellent Zelda game "Links awakening" on it.
Top down like the original was, in fact I suppose you could say it was a "nex gen" sequel to the original in that respect.
It's the one that many people still regard as the best Zelda game ever.
Another one that's stepping back in time a bit was the one that came out when I was in my teens on the N64 - Ocarina of Time.
Of course, early 3d games don't fare so well when it comes back to looking at them aesthetically...but really, REALLY an excellent game. I can't say enough good things about it.

I've played them all multiple times. Wind Waker was the one on Gamecube, and the one on the DS was Phantom hourglass. Link's Awakening was on the original Game Boy.
On another note, why the hell did Coldplay get chosen to play at the Super Bowl? In past years we've had Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney, Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna and The Rolling Stones, and they are some of the best in the business.

I will never understand why people liked Full House. From someone who didn't grow up with it when it originally aired, the show is just a bland, unfunny, generic TV sitcom that for some reason was popular. There were tons of better shows from the 90's.

you're right, it seemed bland and unfunny to me too. I think people watched for other reasons; like good looking people, cuteness, new TV relationships, voyeurism, lack of viewing choices, and their own boring lives and addiction to TV.

I don't understand why people get mad when a song or movie is about sex and then proclaim "Society is trash! Every song and movie has sex in it! Why don't we go back to good family values!" It's as if sex is this scary thing that should never be portrayed in art. If someone's so scared that their children will be exposed to some explicit song or movie, they should be monitoring their children better. Sex is real, and it needs to be shown in art.

Exactly! I know what you guys mean. I always prefer reading a paper book to electronic. And I don't have a kindle.
Still, although I have some 30 books, 90% of the time I want the books to be from the library, used books, or electronic. Because nobody is reading the 30 books in my house (besides the few I may be reading). Just being practical, it's a waste of trees for everyone to have their own book at home (besides a few exceptions). Might as well go to the library and share them, or just read an electronic version -- otherwise it seems a waste of resources; something I'm especially aware of when I move them to a new place. While appreciating the importance of books, writing and learning, I personally want to avoid buying new paper books.

I am going to make like the guy in Ray Bradbury's short story The Murderer and murder all electronic devices! I just realized something else, if you're reading from a kindle and drop it, it is likely that it will break or won't work properly anymore (Not to say they work properly in the first place.), BOOM!

SUMMER CAMP NIGHTMARE
Based on the book The Butterfly Revolution.
Dear Mom
I am having a fun time at summer camp we get to carry guns and the camp councilor is dead.
It all started out in fun and games until it got out of control.
This classic film from the 80's is not a horror film, this is a Juvenile Delinquent film.
Starring Chuck Conners and some other actors.

I fully believe I am an addict. I can't just have one chocolate, I have to finish the whole box. I feel constantly hungry but its always for sweets, never apples or carrots. I have suffered what I'm sure are"sugar hangovers". Needless to say I am approx 30 lbs overweight.
One thing, though, this time I do feel really determined to do it. Its scary how much sweet stuff I can eat!

30 lbs isn't too bad. Do you like fruits? Instead of eating bad sweets try experimenting with eating new sweet fruits. Angra is a good place to start. ::big grin::::stick out tongue::

I speak to you as a fellow food addict in a slow recovery.
Firstly, it's good that you've realised you've got this issue.
It's also important to know, in the event that you didn't, that sugar consumption is actually a worse factor than fat.
Sure, fat might stay with you - but sugar helps keep it there by being excess easy access energy - the human body burns this first, instead of fat.
My advice?
Don't go completely nuts.
If you drink tea or coffee and you're used to having sugar - try to just half it...though these are not really a big offender in the overall sugar count.
Bear in mind sugar is in fruit too, so go with only a couple of servings per day.
Learn about craving equivalency if you're dealing with chocolate.
Cacao, and nuts both have things in them that can take the edge off.
Drink lots of water.
No sodas/soft drinks, at all - no matter how much you crave them, do not touch them. If you need something fizzy look into mineral water and add some mango nectar or some such. Don't go overboard.
Drinking lots of water, even if you're sick of it...kind of flushes your system a bit. I found after about 4-5 days, the "need" to have these sugary drinks leaves you, if not completely, well on the way by this stage.
Now, I'm not sure about other things, but it sure helped when it came to the Coke etc.
Golden rule - if you have control issues...rather than trying to "practice better control", in my opinion, remove your control from the situation.
Do not buy these things.
At all.
Not for a sometimes thing. Not for a "Been doing so well, I will reward myself".
Fuck that logic right off. You have to.
If you're going to treat yourself - do it out, do not buy bulk, do it expensively, and of good quality. Don't buy a block of chocolate, go out and have that full sugar coffee with extra cream from a high end cafe with an awesome barista, and get yourself some badass truffles, slice of cake, whatever.
Let it hit you in the wallet. Be decadent. Experience the more luxurious side of these habits...but importantly, Do this NO MORE than once a week...or you'll simply land yourself in a more expensive habit.
Get exercise in. Steady cardio ideally, but if not walking. Set a time goal or make sure you do a certain amount of steps.
It's always recommended, but, it will go nicely hand in hand with the extra water consumption to get your system a bit more flushed.
Join a gym if unstructured exercise is something you're realistically not motivated enough to do - again, let that hit you in the wallet. Loss/waste of funds is a good motivator.
If you don't have the cash for a gym, well yes, then you're going to need to rely on yourself to do this - start listening to podcasts, they kill the time well and are habit forming while walking/jogging/cycling.
That's all I've really got.
Dieting sucks. It's hard. It's bullshit. But, it gets easier.
You're not so much "on a diet" as changing around your existing one.
You can do it. All it is is not eating something, right?
If willpower is an issue, like I said remove it from the table - the rest will follow in time. Don't expect an easy time of it. Expect a fucking SHIT time of it.
After a month, you'll be ok.

I know what you mean about dieting..I can't think of it this way. When I quit smoking, I never thought of it as a diet. When people quit drugs..its not a diet. I'm trying to give up an addiction. I can't eat sugar the way most people can. I binge on it with no regards to the consequences. But a couple of days ago something clicked. I think I can do it this time!

One thing, though, this time I do feel really determined to do it. Its scary how much sweet stuff I can eat!
cheebacheeba's advice is spot-on. I'm currently on a change of habbit to lose 20lbs and keep the healthy habbits. I've been successful in this routine a couple years ago. Plus 15 years ago I successfully gave up habitual soda consumption.
~ SMALLER PORTIONS WORKS! You will be dumbfounded by how satisfied you'll be with smaller portions (half sandwich, etc) when you eat slowly & concentrate on flavors/textures. It takes apx 20 mins for brain to receive the full/satisfied stimulus, regardless of amount!
~ Some people are helped, or allergic to, different things, so your past experience and awareness of yourself is key.
~ Regarding sweets (and chocolate) addiction, there is research avl online (& likely on youtube) that explains how it works in your brain, & how your body feels. Identifying these sensations, while they occur, helps some people manage behavior.
~ If you work (or other routine), as soon as you park your car at home, walk around the block(s) BEFORE you go in your house (put walking shoes/sox in car, whatever necessary). Everyone needs exercise. You must get juices flowing for healthy satisfied stomach & mind.
~ Coffee is a harmless appetite suppressant for some (but bad for digestive system for others).
~ Drink room temp filtered water. Don't purchase soda, especially not artificial sweeteners which are worse in many ways. (have cold Seltzer/club/mineral water if you like).
~ Get into the wonderful world of salads! Find the fixings you love (cabbage, croutons, grapes, feta cheese, white balsamic dressing, whatever keeps you hitting it once a day (with evening meal for me). Preparing salads can be tough for some, so enjoy making them - music or comedy & wine, some you-time. There are essential micronutrients in veg/fruits that make your system healthy, including preventing some eating compulsions.
~ Eat 3 meals. When eating have lean meats, baby carrots, celery, nuts - whatever healthy items you like or can stand. Take multivitamin & least-expensive probiotic during dinner.
~ Don't buy chocolate, ever. You really don't need it. It's gone. Moving on to better times. Life is made of a collection of much better things! (translation: cold-turkey works very well for most people.)

Yep, Cheeb definitely had some sound advice. I like healthy food..I just never crave it like I do for sweets and chocolate. Never took to sodas like a lot of people do. Its only been 4 or 5 days off sweets and I am already noticing a decrease in joint pain.

I say, after reading the book, I was quite mortified to discover the book ending was different than the film. I think doing that to Animal Farm runs into that desecration crime area -- like changing the ending to the Bible, or The Holocuast... something nobody has any business doing.

Actually, it's a short story, "fairy tale", only 112 pages. I read it over a family vacation, zipped though it, as it's a fast read too, very enjoyable. A nice seemingly rare combo of short, important, famous, simple and enjoyable.
