  1. Really...well you have your choice of Janet, Columbia, Magenta...who else....though you're tall and dark enough that you'd probably make a good Frank...the whole Rocky dressing up scene is so androgynous anyway
  2. Thank you So you're having a bit of walnut scampi tonight, eh?
  3. There was some talk before about Rocky Horror...and since a bunch of us seem to be fans, I think it would be nice to have a Rocky Horror theme party sometime Rocky events always makes for some good memories...so whatever I can do to make this happen, I would do! Who else is game?
  4. A lot about music...it's always interesting to hear what people have to say about their musical preferences....humor....life in general....this is a great, active board...

    Jane...

    That would be Janet... Yeah - they had a showing of it 2 years ago in Hollywood's Young Circle on Halloween. Haven't been to Rocky in ages...was in the RHPS club in college. Some good times there were had by all I say we should throw a Rocky party sometime in the very near future...and hopefully there will be lots of people who know all the lines better than I do
  6. When I watched this movie again a little while ago, couldn't help but think....LUDACRIS speed....he must have a special stock anyway A sequel would be fun....I'd miss the late great John Candy, though...
  7. Groove Eric's May 2004 Promo CD - more please!!!
  8. Yeah, seems that way...oh well
  9. Do they ever have dancing there? I've been there a few times and it was never too much into dancing mode...what about last night? It's nice to do something other than stand around the bar after you're done eating
  10. well just so happened that saturday when i couldn't do anything but sit around the house all day, I had 93.1 on **gasp** Anyway, I was the 9th caller and I'm getting tix to this lil' shindig...I'm sure it will be fun, and also, I've never been to the Ice Palace before, so it will be a new experience
  11. His account isn't letting him post now!!!! anyway, he just wants to say..... I'm not a figment of her imagination - I'm just not into the clubbing scene too much
  12. Anyone going to the Halloween House Party '04 that 93.1 is putting on?
  13. It's good - by the time he made Raw in 1987, he was more of a star, and I think he got a little jaded by then. But he was still at the top of his game...it took all those weak comedies over the 15 years to come (except for maybe Shrek) to really drop him from his peak.
  14. I just watched "Raw" again for the first time in a while - it's not "HALF" as good as Delirious but it's still insanely funny..."What have you done for me lately"...the bit about Dexter St. Jacque...the house burger thats "Better than McDonalds?? (Scooby Doo voice)"....the Italians that are just coming out of Rocky...
  15. I wanted to make it but I really was not feeling well...not been a good week at all...but hopefully I'll be out again soon - I am sure you shone, Tonie beautiful!
  16. Yes, Tonie, I definitely hope you feel better...hope work went well today - it was great talking to you Flip - thanks very much! Nice to see you again Michelle, Beatfriek, Groove Eric, Koky, Bling, CrazyC, Nathan, Mp3some, Renzo, all the girls and guys that were partying in the back that I met - hey what's up.... And THANK YOU EVERYONE - I'm glad I could celebrate this happiness with you!! I had to drive up to Melbourne this morning...that's why I didn't stay longer....but it was an awesome time....
  17. Thank you everyone so much again! I have gone up to Tampa and revisited the Tampa Convention Center where I took the bar....it's kinda nice to see it now that I can relax...and it's such a nice building. We also passed through Punta Gorda on the way here, where I sold my bar study books to someone who lives there. It is really something....to stand there and see the absolute wreckage there. It's just not the same as seeing it on the news....a month later Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte is mostly in ruins. I felt so sad, so grounded just standing there. We walked by a laundromat that had been mostly demolished by the storm and we ran into a Teco gas worker who was working on the building. He said that last week, Punta Gorda was just about bankrupt...but then Jeb Bush picked up about 90% of the tab for the city's repairs, and then charities picked up the rest. He said though that it will take years for the city to get back to where it was. It is such a pretty old-time town also.
  18. Thanks everyone again and again! Brwneyd - def pursue this if this is your dream....it took me many years of on-and-off education to finally make this happen...but as one of my favorite Rocky Horror quotes goes, "Don't dream it - be it!" So if a crazy freak like me can do this, anyone can Awww Bling....you're so sweet
  19. You're beautiful Tonie - please keep these pictures coming
  20. Yeah my krazy peoples - IT IS TIME TO PARTY Where da party at? Oh yeah - I will be looking for a job in environmental law. I'll be looking for jobs with the government or public interest organizations (Audubon Society, Sierra Club, 1000 Friends of Florida - these would be the absolute best) And good luck Chaflas - it's a wild crazy trip, but it's worth it Thanks all - this is an awesome day....
  21. I am so happy and relieved - right before I checked today I thought there was no way that I made it. But I want to thank everybody who wrote me encouraging words while I was away studying...and for letting me do so much writing on the board - that really helped me take my mind off the horrible stress I went through this past month and a half waiting for the results. Thank you all SO MUCH!!!! Becky
  22. I had just started law school. I ended up sitting in what was normally my Criminal Law class with the rest of the students, watching everything unfold on the classroom TVs. My teacher, Bruce Rogow (who got a claim to fame for representing 2 Live Crew's freedom of speech in their album As Nasty as They Want To Be) watched with us. He was cracking jokes even then....a reporter grabbed someone off the street, questioned them about something. It looked like the guy was taking advantage of someone but he said he was just trying to help them....something like that. That's when Rogow said, "Never trust a witness" and the class laughed. It was so strange for there to be laughter in that room...but apparently it was needed comic relief. But then the towers fell in front of us...I just shouted "No!" I thought about my brother, sister, and my visiting mom in Brooklyn... I lived in NYC for about 2 years after finishing at Rutgers, with my then-boyfriend. We always went all over the city...trying to see everything there was to see. I loved the World Trade Center...we went up together the first time and then I went when I had a day off unexpectedly from work. I wrote about the first time in my journal, which I shared with my school right after the attacks, and that I have posted below.... September 20, 1996, my diary entry We walked back to the World Center, because I'd said I wanted to go to the top. He wanted to sing songs about flying when we got to the top. When we got in we found out, to our shock, that it was $8/head. However, we shelled it out. We waited in the rollercoaster-long line to go up. Once we got there, I was very impressed with the height and also by having the vast view beneath me be intelligible, and not some meaningless jumble of buildings, streets and rivers. We looked first over the Bronx, Coney Island and out to the ocean. Then we sat for a long time looking uptown. That was where we saw the most to recognize. He pointed out the arch of Washington Square Park. He was kind of my own personal guide of the view. Then, after being hypnotized by the view for a long time, it occurred to us to go up to the roof. That is what we did. I was amazed by what we found there. It was a calm, windless, slightly warm sundeck we found up there 1035 feet high, with the occasional clouds drifting right overhead. We walked excitedly around the rectangular walkway, taking in the view hemmed in by nothing but sky. We leaned there against the railing. Then we skipped around to the other side and parked ourselves on a bench facing the Jersey view. The moments were out of sight. I felt then and there that I was immersed in heaven. As we descended, the sun was setting.
