Current Mood

Mood: Honored

Reason: A friend asked me to be the horn player in a brass quintet that his church does. And, my chemistry teacher asked me if I’d like to take part in a medical program that happens each year and the only entrance is through teacher recommendation. Even though that’s not what I want to go into, it still would be interesting. :smiley:

Wow little_chef, what a rough day. I’m glad that you’ve endured the whole day. Yeah, nobody like sucky day. Maybe this should help, it works to me.

Mood: Confused.

Reason: Where the did luck everybody goes? My house is empty!

little chef: Sorry to hear about your day. Those kinds of days are never fun, but they happen. We get through them and look forward to the good days! The good always outweigh the bad. :slight_smile:

And I’m going to counter wannabechef and tell you to look at this instead. They’re more uplifting and humorous. Link1 and Link2

Mood: Slightly overwhelmed, but determined
Reason: I have A LOT of work to do over the weekend in order to stay caught up in all of my classes. I’m determined to get the majority of it done this weekend, so I won’t have much to worry about during the week.

Mood: Entertained

I saw 2 Heath Ledger movies: A Knights Tale and The Dark Knight.

Seriously, what the heck?!
Average word of the day: Up
That’s hilarious, what are the odds? :stuck_out_tongue:

Current Mood: Pretty darn fantastic.

Reason: Well, I had a pretty spectacular day today. It started off with me doing the Wall•E fan commentary with Captain Pan and rachelcakes1985. Everything went well, and I can’t wait to get the audio file back.

Moving on,…

Spent the majority of my mid-day doing average things, checking the boards, taking a shower, eating, the usual. Had a nice conversation with Captain Pan, Doc Kenobi, and Lightning and Doc on Skype, then headed out for the theater. Was a bit late, so I had to find something to do for an hour. Not sure what happened to the time, something bizzare happened. I thought I was trying to make the 3:40 showing, but I get back in my car, and it’s 5 p.m. O.o there was a 6:20 and 8:45 left, and I had intended on watching it once, then taking a break and drawing, then going again after a while. Those were the last two showings though,…

I sat in my car waiting for 6:20 to roll around, so I got out my sketchbook and started drawing a concept sketch of Geri. Took roughly 30 minutes, and came out rather nicely. I left my car, marched up to the box office, and had a nice 39th viewing. Not one to listen to instinct, I sat outside the box office and pondered afterwards,… Should I go again? It’d make 40,… But twice a day has been tough before. thewisecookiesheet pointed out I’d regret it afterwards if I didn’t, and I had only seen it on Monday this week, so I finally convinced myself to go back.

I managed to coerce a few people to watch the film before I got my ticket, and it was really awesome seeing people walk up, “Two for Up”, “Five for Up”, etc. Walking into the theater, it had completely escaped me that it was a Friday night. The seats were PACKED, there must have been at least 80 people in the theater. I sat in my seat, same one as the last viewing, and must have said a million times to myself, what am I doing? I’m insane! The trailers run their course, and I ignore the usual ones, Shorts, G-Force, I’d seen them a million times, and always dreaded them. Then Partly Cloudy. I still get a few kicks out of it, especially when there’s a responsive audience. Plus, I associate it with the movie.

Then it plays. I get the exact same rich feeling I got from watching it my 2nd or 3rd time watching it, it was like I saw the movie for the first time all over again. I literally left the theater speechless. The second time was BETTER.

Someone tell me this: How on EARTH does Pixar do it? I’ve seen Up 40 times now, and I am STILL in awe of how incredible it is. It blows my mind, absolutely blows my mind right out of my flipping head. How do they manage to pull an absolute masterpiece out of every idea they start working seriously on. There is no doubt in my mind that Pixar has to be the single greatest collaboration of human minds on this planet, and they consistently show it.

Not only that, but I know exactly what’s going to happen when I watch the movie, every scene, line, almost every gesture, except for one thing. I have no idea how I’m gonna feel leaving the theater, if I’m going to feel like it wasn’t good anymore, or if it still leaves such an amazing impression on me. Yet, Up STILL manages to totally rock my world.

I think tonight proved it. Up is indestructible. Nothing, and I mean nothing will make me stop loving this film. Pixar absolutely BLOWS my MIND. I was having fits of utter bewilderment on the drive home.

Since then, I’ve opened my sketch book, and drew Leo, rather badly, Andre, and Wally B. The last 2 came out nicely, I’m planning on uploading scans either tonight or tomorrow. After tonight though, seriously,…

Pixar wins. At life. Forever.

ffdude1906: We (PP members) are destined to up with something.

Annaborjack: I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but I’d like to offer you some suggestions. Firstly, your dad is probably concerned for your well-being, and maybe you should just try explaining to him that you will promise not to reveal personal details like your name or home address to strangers (I assume you’re old enough to know Internet history). Maybe then, he will understand that the Internet is just another medium of communication, and can rest assured you will be responsible for your own well-being. Secondly, it’s basic Internet courtesy that you refrain from typing words in Capitals. It’s the Internet equivalent of shouting.

little_chef: Hope you feel better! Whenever I have bad days, I always think: Good things don’t last forever. Thankfully, neither do the bad stuff.
Everything is impermanent. The bad days will come to pass, and things will get better.
I was watching Two Towers yesterday, and Sam’s epic speech to Frodo at the end nearly moved me to tears. It’s so wonderfully inspiring.
The Tales That Really Mattered
Granted, I don’t think your situation is as dire as saving the world while facing possible death, but it’s nice to think there are better days ahead. Then again, you can always listen to POYSC while doodling fanarts…

thewisecookiesheet: Ooh… like a course for medicine? Or a clandestine government experiment on human civillians? Lame joke, TDIT.

wannabechef and Hannahmation: Interesting sites. Should give 'em a read whenever I feel Emo.

TSS: Someone should do a mash-up. A Dark Knight’s Tale. :laughing:

ffdude: Watching a movie in theatres twice on the same day? Dude, you’re unbelievable! :open_mouth: Does your fandom know no bounds?
Then again, Pixar is unstoppable. It seems the Law of Diminishing Returns does not apply to their movies…

Mood: Irritated and anxious

I have to get my part of my group work for finals done and submitted to my members my tonight, having worked yesterday and today (on a Saturday). Can’t wait to take a break from all this and indulge in a theatrical outing or an afternoon of Pixar fanwork (doodling, video-editing or sig-making) tomorrow.
And I missed the Cars commentary session yesterday because of this! Sorry Peter and Actine! :angry:

Mood: Very tired

Reason: For once, I woke up so much later than usual

Mood: A tad disgruntled. (sarcasm)

Reason: I escaped a workday today because I am sick. Excited that I’d have the house to myself, my mom called me telling me I have to watch my little brother and his cousins. They are so annoying, put together they are pure hell. To top that all off im sick, and my temper is shorter fused because of that.

Current Mood: Really, really irritated :angry:

Reason: The Air Conditioner is broken and it’s getting hotter by the hour. The people that own the apartment we live in are refusing to pick up the phone. and I sometimes have trouble breathing if it gets too hot. It’s insanely uncomfortable, and the worst part is there’s nothing we can do about it. My mom must’ve call over 15 times! And they STILL haven’t answered! Sorry, but I’m kinda in a bad mood. :angry: All I can say is thank God it’s still running. It’s just not throwing off cold air.

Ouch, that’s rough Violet Parr, sorry to hear you’re having a rough day. I hope they fix it soon.

TDIT: That was actually the third time I had seen Up twice in one day. The first 2 didn’t go so well, that’s why I was hesitant about this one, but apparently 3rd time’s the charm. It’s so emotionally exhausting doing back-to-back screenings, but I think I prepared myself for this one. I knew it was gonna be hard, but it became really incredible instead.

Current Mood: Starving, but very content

Reason: I haven’t eaten since about midnight, there’s nothing to eat in this blasted house that doesn’t take about 45 minutes to make, and I don’t know how to make it. Other than that, I’m doing good. Had a successful movie gathering this morning, took a nap, and now I’m checking up on PP, and the rest of the usual sites. Planning to go for another screening soon after getting a bit of homework taken care of, and I just realized this will make 3 screenings in less than 24 hours! Haha!

Thanks, ffdude1906. I hope they get it fixed soon, too. But, on a better note, seems like you’re having a great day :wink: Hope you enjoy your third screening :slight_smile: !

ffdude: You’re going to see it again? 40 is a nice round number, it might be best to just leave it at that. Unless, of course you can hit 50.

Mood: Ok, content mostly. A little bummed becasue I found out the Gamestop near me isn’t hiring now, so I have to start turning in applications again.

Current Mood: Very happy :slight_smile:

Reason: The maintenance man finnaly came! We’re gonna have AC again!

My word, ffdude, you’re unstoppable! :open_mouth: I don’t think I can handle that many viewings at home for any movie in one day!

Strangely, I’m in the same predicament right now. It’s supposed to be spring in Sydney, but right now it feels like summer, and my room’s not getting any colder with the air-con on full blast. Oh well, feels like I’m back in sweaty, balmy Singapore/Malaysia anyway. :sunglasses:

Mood: Liberated
I’ve sent in my work to my group leader yesterday and I’m considering taking Sunday off although I promised him more work tonight… whatever, I’ve done my job yesterday and am just chillin’ the Sunday morning away. :slight_smile:

Haha, yeah, I’m a bit insane. I seem to remind myself every time I get back in the car. “Geez, 41 times, I’m NUTS!” :stuck_out_tongue:

I asked a clerk (one who seems to recognize me now, hehe) how long they’re gonna have Up in there. She said it’s still popular (last night’s screening proved it) and it’s still on 2 screens of the 10 screen theater. Said it’ll probably go to 1 screen soon, but it’ll be a long time before they get rid of it. Good thing too! I still have a minimum of 9 viewings to go! XD

Current Mood: Reluctant

Reason: work in 15 minutes, hoo boy! twirls finger At least my shift isn’t too long. I have a nice essay to revise when I get back though.

Mood: Happy and hungry

Reason: I’m starving adn I can tell that something good is going to happen later on.

Mood: Angry and confused

Reason: My homecoming date is being mean to me and I most likely will end up dateless because he keeps saying that he isn’t sure if he wants to go or not.

Current Mood:Bored and Tired

I gotta nothing to do and its 3 in the morning. I should get to bed.

Mood: Neutral. A slight of happiness.

Reason: Neutral - Well, I’m bored.

A slight of happiness - well, little_chef_eva09 made me a wicked avy!
