The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Mine was put towards my car which helped get it paid off 6 months early. It was only 1k.

I hadn't thought about that. I also had an "inheritance" of sort from my grandma. It was about 10k. She had originally hoped that it would be used for educational purposes first (if needed) ... but I was all finished with whatever schooling I was going to do so I had some thinking to do. I finally decided on using the $ to travel abroad. I visited both Scotland and Greece in 1999, and used up most of it! (The rest was on some books and such - a complete collection of the works of G.K. Chesterton, if I remember rightly - and a laptop I have since given away.)

In the European countries it was a standard thing for centuries that part of one's "education" involved sending the student to live abroad in another country for 6 months or so - this would immerse them in a second language and let them see how different people look at life and are governed in different ways other than what one grew up with. I wasn't able to stay places for 6 months. I had 2 weeks in Scotland and 1 month in Greece. But I was happy to take what I could get.

Maybe one of these days I'll be able to go back to either place ... although I have been contemplating a trip to either the country of Georgia or Ireland for some time as well.... :\

If that was done by him, then he can't be called a one-hit wonder as his most notorious song is "Cars".

Yoikes!

How could I forget about that one? :\

Finaly saw Spidey 3

Wasn't too bad. I think people are giving it a bad rap. Certaintly the worst of the 3, but that's not saying it's bad by any stretch. I enjoyed it.

Yeah ... I agree. I didn't think it was all that bad.

Actually, my favorite character was the Sandman. There was something about him I really liked. They made him very "human" ... kinda different than the "thug" I remember hium to have been in the comics back in the day. :\

If you declare it to be slow (1-2 posts a week), you can do that. I'm in one running about that speed that's been going since december '05.

Hmm ... this is something to seriously consider then.

Thanks Bront. [Ponders.]

Well ... I have caught up a bit here. Wonder where everyone else is? Warlock is probably either drowning in work or in the hospital after having seriously injured himself trying to carry a piano up the stairs of the house he was helping someone move into. As for the others ... ? :\

Depends on the time period. During the 1990's Marvel tested the waters with making him a redeemable hero.... something like the movie. However, it didn't work (money wise) so he returned his bad guy ways.

Hey there Mega!

Say ... I noticed you saying some posts back that you were thinking of actually taking up the Darksun thing again, yes? Didja actually do so?

2 is probably in my top 10 and 1 is pretty high up there, so yeah, being the worst of the 3 isn't unreasonable.

That said, I'd say it was very good. Probably a bit more enjoyable than Pirates 3, and certaintly much more enjoyable (and funny unfortunately) than Shrek 3.

Shrek was a waste of time for me. I already miss the 27 dollars spent getting in with the family. That coulda been pizza and soda!

Hmm ... pizza and soda ... Drat. :\ Now I am hungry.
