JSWeC: I wish I could play that game sometime…

But guess what I got for Christmas? A WALL-E LEGO kit, that’s what! Also I got 4 new titles for my collection of movies–plus a yard of fabric, a puzzle, and two Cinemark gift cards which I used to go and see the new Star Wars movie in 3D.

I had to get my cavities filled a couple of days ago and there’s wisdom teeth still waiting to be pulled out… :frowning:

Ouch. Hope the procedure went well. And the wisdome teeth may seem scary, but on the bright side, no school/work/etc for a few days. Now you can do whatever you want. All to yourself.

Uh, TSS? I currently don’t have a job right now. And my wisdom teeth aren’t getting pulled out for a month yet.

Oh okay. I’m just saying when i got my wisdome teeth pulled, I couldn’t do anything for a week. But that was enough time for me to catch up on netflix, play on my PS4, rest, and recover.

My mom told me she was about my age when her wisdom teeth got pulled out. (She was 21, and now I’m almost 21.)

My mom told me that her dentist did something wrong when he/she pulled her wisdom teeth. Can’t exactly remember what though, except that her jaw hurt like beep
But that reminds me, I should go to my local dentist and get an appointment for having my teeth checked out. Of course, I could use the telephone but I think walking would be better to lose some calories after the big Christmas dinner and the many sweets.

And now for something different, I was in Hamburg on Wednesday and saw the newest musical there!:smiley:
It’s Aladdin, which they have performed since early Decemer, so of course I wanted to see it and I got the ticket for Christmas. It was a whole new, shining, shimmering, splendid experience <3

I’ve just trained Sadness to use Ahsoka’s lighsaber pack and defeat Stormtroopers on Tatooine with a wave of despair I’m so proud of her. :laughing:

I ate some microwave popcorn tonight for National Popcorn Day!

So happy Peyton manning won his 2nd superbowl. This would be a perfect way to end your career.

Right now, I am at the halfway mark for watching all the Pixar films as my way of continuing to celebrate the studio’s 30th anniversary…and I’m also trying to plan for me a Pixar-themed birthday party. (Speaking of which–where’s my birthday signature?! Hurry up, my birthday’s coming!)

Oh my gosh! I just noticed my ranking changed from “AXIOM Crewmember” to “Master Scarer”! But I’d probably work my way to the next ranking if only these forums would just become more active again like it used to! :smiley:

Congrats! :slight_smile:

I just got back to my hotel from the Science Behind Pixar exhibits today! :mrgreen:

I found out earlier this week the grade classification I’m going to be graduating from university with, and I’m very pleased :smiley: Now just waiting on the ceremony tickets to come through my email!

^And what grade classification would that be, Biggest_Pixar_Fan_Ami?

Saw the fifth Ice Age movie last Sunday. I liked it better than the fourth but not as much as the first three. My favorite thing about it was the return of Buck :smiley:
But what I didn’t like was how they just jump ahead with Peaches’s life. I mean, she was born in the third and was already a teenager in the fourth, and now [spoil]she’s about to marry.[/spoil]

The grading system here in the UK is different to the US one so I’m not sure what the equivalent is, but I’m graduating with a 2:1 (second class, upper division) which is the second highest grade you can get besides first class, so that’s really good :sunglasses:

My second year there was difficult as my manager at the time gave me too many hours at work and wouldn’t lower them so it got in the way hugely of my assignments :confused: Needless to say I underperformed and for the first time in my education I was quite upset with my results.

Thank goodness my final year went so much more smoothly as I got an A- in my dissertation/thesis which bumped my grades up a lot! :slight_smile: I worked very hard this last year or so to get back the grades I knew I was capable of, and it worked!

^Witch_of_Night, I haven’t seen the latest Ice Age movie (in fact it’s been a long while since I’ve seen any of them!) but from what you described it seems like they are cramming what they can of the last of the characters’ lives before the end of the franchise (which has to be soon, surely? The first one came out when I was like, 6!) Still, I loved the films and all the characters, especially Sid 8D

Witch_of_Night: I, too, am planning to see the fifth Ice Age movie–in fact, I think I’ll go ahead and start rewatching the other four as well. (But I’m afraid they will have to be eliminated from my movie collection within the next month or two. And…yes, that’s my decision.)
