- oh, try the honey sunshine. It's so good. -- nm - Callisto Jan 8, 08:23 2
  - Is that one of the Crunch ones? I think I prefer regular Go Lean because it's less sweet. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 08:25 1
    - it's a little sweet. It's shaped like Captain Crunch (and crunches like it) - Callisto Jan 8, 08:26
- heart smart? I like t hose. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 08:23

- I know, right? -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 8, 08:24
- I wet my hair in the morning. No big. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 8, 08:23
- I know. And then you have to wet your hair in the morning and you get cold -- nm - con_carne Jan 8, 08:23 1
  - Uh, as opposed to taking a shower in the morning? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 8, 08:24

Curious ST poll - Did your parent's routine influence your morning habits? My mother was a morning person, so am I. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 8, 08:19 19
- No. -- nm - ceregon Jan 8, 08:43

    - As a parent, you put on your face for the sake of your kids and go. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 8, 08:29
  - yep, I think this is the thing. You get up and do it because you have to, not becase you want to. - CQ Jan 8, 08:24

Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell in talks to be the Iron Man 2 villians. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 8, 08:15 9

    - You have no sense of fun in your heart, you know that? -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 08:24
  - I disagree. In the right role he is great. I have faith in JFAVR. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 8, 08:19
  - He kicked absolute ass in Sin City. -- nm - Shaun Jan 8, 08:19 4
    - he was great in Spun too. - Callisto Jan 8, 08:25 1
      - I forgot about that movie, and forgot it was him. You're right on all counts. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 08:26
    - I thought so too. he was the best thing about that movie for me. -- nm - Diva Jan 8, 08:22
    - Ok..he was decent there. But the part didn't call for a lot. So if he can get roles like THAT...it might not be too bad. -- nm - Jim Jan 8, 08:19

  - Of course a Duran Duran movie would be much less interesting, not as much "ho's" and murder -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 8, 08:19
- *crazy* underpriced -- nm - ty97 Jan 8, 08:07 8
  - $10 a ticket is the standard here. -- nm - Dano Jan 8, 08:09 7
    - I think HSX is underestimating the film a lot -- nm - ty97 Jan 8, 08:09 6
      - I seem to recall making a bunch from shorting GRODT. I think it's easy to overestimate movies that are targeted to a primarily black market - zork Jan 8, 08:16 5
        
        HSX has a long pattern of doing the exact opposite with black audiences. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 08:16 4
        
        I thought it was the reverse recently. - nubby Jan 8, 08:18 2
        
        There was a little bit of "we have no clue, so it stars black people, so it must be Diary of a Mad Black Woman". - TFox Jan 8, 08:21
        
        In the last year or two, HSX started to catch on. - ty97 Jan 8, 08:20
        
        I guess I haven't been around that long (nor actually played the game that much) -- nm - zork Jan 8, 08:18

re: lada gaga, lyc -- (link) - ty97 Jan 8, 08:01 [Backboard] 7
- I'm surprised when someone says they've never heard of her or her songs. If you listen to any media, she's on every 30 minutes at least. - CrankYanker Jan 8, 08:04 6
  - I've heard of her. I just don't listen to any media where I'd have reason to hear her. - Callisto Jan 8, 08:07 1
    - yeah, I meant "public" media..... I'm still old school. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 8, 08:10

Anybody want to listen to this video and tell me if it's any good? (Ukulele cover of "Creep") -- (link) - mara Jan 8, 07:59 [youtube] 7
- It doesn't work for me. - con_carne Jan 8, 08:08
- No sound at work. Never got the Dresden Dolls, don't think I will get their solo project eithers. -- nm - lileve Jan 8, 08:07 1
  - projects either -- nm - lileve Jan 8, 08:12

- *hate* -- nm - kelly Jan 8, 08:06
- I wasn't much of a morning person until recently. - Callisto Jan 8, 08:04 1
  - I've started doing this, too. I used to sleep till noon on weekends easy. Now, I can never do it. -- nm - con_carne Jan 8, 08:10
- My work always has a joke that they dont talk to me until at least 10 am as I am "non-responsive" until then. - Walt_Disney Jan 8, 08:04
- I can get up easily, but am not cheerful. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 08:03
- I'm with you on this (except for the cheery part) :-) -- nm - con_carne Jan 8, 08:00
- [deleted]
- I really am jealous of this, I think it's awesome. It is a much-appreciated quality by society I think. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 07:58 1

- *stab stab stab* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 8, 07:58

  - MrsCY gets up at 4:15am and is out the door at 5; and that includes feeding 5 cats and a dog. She's amazing. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 8, 08:00 2
    - I do at least a 20 minute walk. Plus, I love to hang with Logan. -- nm - Amy Jan 8, 08:03 1
