Thanks! The job title is "Product Innovation Manager" - It even has an interesting title! ::cool::

Good luck Chrono!

Sending positive energy your way for tomorrow, Chrono!

Thanks, Guys! ::cool::

We expect a full report when you're done! ::wink::

Well things are getting a little better for me: I finally got myself a new therapist which I think is great. My last therapist simply wasn't out for me, it seemed like she was trying to rush my healing process. Healing takes time, it's not something that should be rushed: especially if you were abused...

Good for you. *hug* Finding the right therapist can be VERY hard. I hope that this person gives you the warm and safe place that you need.

I'm actually dealing with new medication side effects right now - What sucks is that my psychiatrist is "out of network" so seeing her is super-expensive.

So I think it went really well! It was a loooooooooong interview - Met with 4 different people, an hour each, so I was just so physically and mentally exhausted. That was last Friday and I haven't heard back from HR, though... Maybe that means that they're getting approval to give me buckets of money? ;)

Keeping fingers and toes crossed, and sending lots of positive energy!

Haunted island/insane asylum up for sale. Let's all move there HDC.

Ooohhhh, I remember when "Scariest Places on Earth" did a show here! Yes, let's move there! ::big grin::

Just a curious random thought: can a person be haunted AND possessed?

Not that the ghost in your haunted house possesses you; but you are possessed by a demon and - in additional to that - taunted / harassed by a separate & secondary malevolent spirit or ghost while being possessed?

Would the demon retaliate against the ghost? Would he think that was terribly funny and ironic? Can demons and ghosts "double dip" on the same person? ::confused::

(wonderful stuff this vodka and coffee ::big grin::)

Wow, sounds like something out of a nightmare.....or a horror movie. ::stick out tongue::

Well, I can think of films that have both concepts in them but none that have both concepts competing or conflicting with each other... that would be a bizarre flick...

...anyone know of any? ::embarrassment::

I think this scenario can happen, and needs to happen. For some reason, I had something like the ending of Prometheus in mind.

Last night I'm watching disc 2 of 100 Years of Horror, the section on werewolves. Christopher Lee says "There's only one werewolf movie I've been in, The Howling II. The less said about that, the better." Made me laugh. At least he knows what a stinker it is!

I wonder if there is a 'typical point' at which the actors / crew know for certain what they're making is trash. Is it typically during production? or do they have to find out in the theaters like everyone else?

I also wonder how many times it's a 180º - the crew thinks it's awesome and it's panned or they think it's trash and it goes up for an oscar. ::confused::

I'm not an expert... but an educated guess is Christopher Lee will read the script, know his payment, the film budget, what other actors are in it, and what other films the director and production company has made. And by that, he'd know if it's likely to be trash. Still, even if the budget is small and the past directors work has been poor, there's always a small chance it will be a good film. But it's hard to get past a weak script.

I think every actor has one bad movie that they've done

That's good stuff. But as you say there would always some chance involved.

What I'm wondering about is the point beyond the speculation of script, money, cast, & crew when the actors know - with metaphysical certainty - that the film they're in is a festering pile of road-kill.

I'm sure it's different for each individual actor and film but - with so many films out there - might there be a "typical point" at which this epiphany occurs for the bulk of actors on the majority of films?

If there is a way to figure a "typical point", I'm missing it. ::sad::

anybody here from Neverending

kinda miss the grumpy old bastard

He was on Facebook about a week or so ago. Apparently having some real money problems. Was able to keep his apartment, has a job, but is deep in debt.

What happened to V's weekly discussions?

Of course, I had to look. The first two are there.

Yeah but shouldn't there be two new ones?

Yes

Judging by the number of replies...

Oh so you decided to give it another week to get more replies? I hope that's all it is because personally speaking I like the weekly discussion and movie of the week idea. I think its a great way to breed conversation. It might just be that not every discussion will get everyone talking

I suspect the lack of a lot of replies is going to vary with the subject matter. In my case, I hadn't seen the movie, and the subject and weeks events wasnt conducive to see it. And the debate subject, I didnt really have much to say about it; I think the statement was fairly obvious.

I feel for you, Michael. Today happens to be a stat holiday in Canada, Victoria Day. But tomorrow its Tuesday....

Woke up with a headache and can't get rid of it. ::sad::

GOD I'm bored. I had what I thought was a promising interview with a company on Monday - I should be hearing back sometime today re "next steps" - We'll see how it goes. I've been teetering between depressed, anxious, and just barely OK lately... I should be thankful that at least I have a job (even if it does bore me to tears).

Last night I couldn't sleep. I had this great idea for a story or novel but writing it down just seems so incredibly daunting - I wish there were a plug in the base of my skull that I could slip into the USB port of my computer and transfer my thoughts directly...

I think about that a lot, actually; the idea of having a feed through the base of your skull that you could connect to others' skull so that you could communicate without talking; I wish I could do that when I'm too tired to speak but awake enough to want to still connect with my hubby... I could connect the cord between our brains and push him warmth and love as I drift off to sleep...

My hubby is a transhumanist who believes in The Singularity (f that stupid Johnny Depp movie, btw)... I suppose this is along the same lines, but if your mind is joined with someone else's, how do you control what is transmitted between the two? Maybe I don't want to share everything with everyone who's uploaded into the same machine...

I hope things go the way you want as far as your new job opportunities. For the little time I have been with the forum, you come across as a lovely young lady..always cheering people on! My special little demon is anxiety so I hear you as far as that goes..

Awww, Thank You. At least I currently have a job, so I should be thankful at that. ::cool::


Do you mind if I ask - What is your screenname based on?

Not at all. She is a character from the book "Dracula". She kidnaps little children at night but returns them relatively unscathed, save for the little bite marks on their necks. The children call her "The Bloofer Lady". It is more than likely Lucy Westenra.

I can't believe I didn't remember that!

Cool! Sadly, I've never read the whole book. ::embarrassment::


...


HF - Did I ever tell you that it took me at least a year into this forum to make the connection of what your screenname was in reference to? ::embarrassment:: I was always obsessed with sharks, so, uhm, I just thought you were too... ::embarrassment::

ROFL!!! When I first posted as hammerfan (I joined HDC under another name), newb posted a picture of MC Hammer. Too funny!
