I'm going to agree. The best part is when the sky is grey and the brown/red/yellow leaves are all littered on the ground. Unfortunately most of the trees in my area are evergreens so I don't get the pretty colors. And it's too sunny. I seem to remember most of the autumn days being dreary when I was child, but during the last few years it hasn't been that way. My memory playing tricks on me, perhaps?

Rain and cold is a bonus. Is ANYTHING better than curling up in a warm room and drinking hot chocolate/cider while listening to the rain pitter patter outside? I think not.

Good luck with those scores! Just remember that those scores don't mean everything.

The first time I tried to drive stick I stalled so often at this one green light that it turned red before I even got into the intersection. Man, that was embarrassing...

I share this curse of forgetfulness. Homework, clothes, pencils, paper, test dates... you name it I've probably forgotten it.

I watched the first six or so episodes over the weekend out of curiosity, and while I enjoyed it as much as I enjoy other childhood shows, I don't know if I'm a brony.

Or perhaps I'm just in denial...

And I concur. Applejack is awesome. She's my second fave, right after Fluttershy.

I love Fluttershy almost as much because she reminds me way too much of one of my friends, but Applejack wins me over with that hat (and because I love apples).

Sorry, but at the mention of the songs, my resolve to never watch this show was increased a thousandfold.

Just for the record, it's not a cartoon musical. One of the characters likes to break into song every once in a while, but that's because her personality is like that of a person who drinks coffee like water. Hyper is an understatement. From the few episodes I've watched, her spontaneous musical breaks are handled tastefully.

Yeah, I watched the Pilot episodes today they were pretty weak (as already stated), but the two following episodes actually weren't that bad. I'm not surprised, really. There are many kids' shows out there that have appeal for an older audience. I don't think this show has the potential of captivating everyone 18+, but it is watchable.

Also Applejack is

I had no idea those belt holders even existed. Way cool!

WOW. All three extended movies in less than 24 hours? I don't think I could do that- I love the movies but I'm pretty sure I'd be exhausted halfway through the second.

As for theatrical versus extended, the extended additions do add things are are, as xccj put it, fun and not really things that move the plot forward (I think Jackson refers to them as 'fan cuts', but I'd have to find a source for that). The escape from the land of the dead shouldn't have even been in the extended version, in my opinion.

I was surprised, though, when I learned that Saruman's demise was cut from the theatrical version of Return of the King. Seems like something pretty plot essential.

That is absolutely heinous. Although the most heinous part of all is the first song, because I'm pretty sure that song would be recognized in court as a Crime Against Humanity. It is the worst song of all the songs ever recorded in the history of songs.

Heh, I like that song...

Playing songs such as those is certainly a very strange way to commemorate the event. It's not the approach I would have taken.

Wow, I never even thought about doing this. I must make some.

How do they taste?

My answer: I'm sure once the Nazis saw their comrades fly into the sky they all ran for their lives. From there it was a simple matter of Indy radioing for help.

Real answer: It's irrelevant.

D'awww...

I love that scene.

Not sure what kind of question this is, but you, clearly.

I feel like things don't tend to go well when you try to force yourself to fit in with certain groups. All you have to do is find a niche that you feel comfortable with and you're bound to find friendships with the others in that niche (whether it's band, drama, a specific club, what have you). It's worked well for me. I don't have a huge mountain of friends but I have very close relationships with a few people, which is really all I need. I'm not saying it's impossible to find friendships outside the 'niche', but it's hard to become friends with people who have little to nothing in common with you.

College is definitely different. Depending on where you go, you're forced to live with someone for your first year, and as a result you make friends with them and the friends they meet and they make friends with the people you meet. Unfortunately I have almost nothing in common with anyone I've met so I'm finding friends difficult to make, despite being 2/3 of the way through my Sophomore year.

So, yeah, my situation is opposite of yours. I found high school friends a lot easier to make than college friends.

Oh it snows in CA, just depends on where you live.

MELT SNOW MELT!

Maybe if I treated new scouts like fresh meat instead of kids to babysit I would have enjoyed my troop more...

Also this reminds me that I need to brush up on my orienteering skills.

How about we up the cheer with some DOUBLE RAINBOWS?

better than... Pixar

OH NO YOU DI-IN'T!

On a more serious note, the animation in this movie does look superb and I hope to see more (but not ALL) animated movies using the technique.

This happened to me a few days ago the night before my most important final. I know exactly how you feel.

Fall asleep soon!

Sounds like a very fulfilling way to spend your Spring Break. Our youth group hasn't done anything like this but I would certainly like to someday.

Good luck with the service.

Thanks!

You don't 'own' a cat. If anything, it owns you.

I can do a few of those. I have some trouble moving eyebrows independently. How people can independently move their eyeballs and wiggle their ears I have no idea. They must be aliens.

Lookin' quite snazzy, if I may say so. I especially like (what I can see of) that tie.

I thought this was supposed to happen on the 14th and not the 13th. Totally threw off my schedule for Monday morning, too. I had it planned out and everything.
