Why is your dot lying there? It's driving me nuts. I feel like I'm one of them asking him....lmao...
Or is that the whole point, to drive us nuts? Curiousity killed the cat, right.
The sad thing is, I don't even know the topic I'm in anymore....lol...

Radiohead - Just

It's much more dramatic with people, but just as -if not more- frustrating......

Ha,ha,ha,ha, that was great. Thanks for the link. I never watch videos anymore cause I hate most of what's on, pop music and all. You're definitely right about it being even more frustrating, but definitely more dramatic. I loved it, and I love that you got the dots doing it. Made me lol for the first time all day.
Thanks Naydi,

This quote thing is NOT working for me today - it keeps screwing up and meshing everything I type... ANYWAY, I was trying to say that this was an older video played on 120 Minutes/Subterranean/early MTV2 when Viacom had programming standards for its music channels . Now, if I catch a newer video, it's either online or via the Comcast On Demand music video offerings.

I'll have to use that one next time!

It is comforting to know there are others out there sharing the love! I think that's why I prefer to watch the reruns on TV even though I have Seasons 1 & 3 on DVD and have taped many from 4 & 5. It's knowing that other people are out there enjoying the show too, that makes it feel so good!

Wow, it is nice to know there are others out there that do the same thing. I'll just sit there and watch them over and over again. Even on the same day. You know how sometimes they'll show a few, then repeat them again later in the night. If I'm still up, I'm still watching. Pretty sad huh. I was in a bad accident and broke my back, well pretty close, so I can't work and can't stand or walk for more than 5 mins tops at a time, so it gives me alot of time on my hands. I just thought I'd add that in so you guys wouldn't think I was a lazy butt. I love working, and if I didn't have LOCI, I think I would go crazy.(or crazier than I already am) Though I must admit, I don't only watch for VDO. I just love the show. I love him too though. He's hot, and smart, and sexy, ok, I don't know where I'm going with this anymore. Oh yeah, it really is nice to know that others out there enjoy the show as much. That's also why I love this board.

I'm so sorry, vurtgirl, that you were hurt! Hang in there. Keep up that great attitude & know that I have you in my prayers for a speedy & full recovery. Keep posting & sharing the love of CI & the staff (especially VDO!!) I know thinking about him certainly cheers me up, nomatter what troubles of life I may have.

Oh, thankyou so very much. It's amazing how many sweet, smart, interesting, good people I've met on this board. I appreciate your well wishes. I do my best to keep my spirits up, though it is very difficult at times.
It certainly helps being able to watch a show I love so much (especially with VDO being in almost every scene ), and talking on this board is so much fun as well.
Vurtgirl

Vurtgirl....I need to thank you for something....(with apologies for the OT)....

A few years ago, I suffered a setback which was devastating physically and financially. I was completely laid out for about six months. As my recovery progressed, I couldn't work or be productive in any way. One of the things which kept me from going completely mad were a couple of old prime-time reruns during the afternoon on USA or TNT or something. I won't divulge the titles. They were reasonably intelligent projects. One was even considered groundbreaking in it's day, but they seem pretty silly now. I kept up with my current night-time favorites like Law and Order and Criminal Intent, but they did not provide the respite like the afternoon shows. For a couple of hours every weekday afternoon I was able to escape my pain. I planned my day around the show-times. And when the time came for me to refocus my attention on my own issues, I found I was better able to concentrate on where I needed to be, rather than where I was. It helped speed my recovery and re-entry into a productive life once again. My recovery progresses, but it seems, sometimes, it moves along much too slow.
It hasn't been a good week and I've been in a terrible grump about it. After reading your post and being witness to your great attitude I was reminded of those days. I was able to draw myself away from the grump and take a fresh look at where I needed to be, rather than where I'm at now. So I thank you, vurtgirl, for your honesty. You turned my fretful cold weekend into a bright warm one. I pray your recovery is swift and your future full of hope. Whatever you're doing to maintain your great attitude, keep it up.

And as far as being "nuts" goes....you're not nuts. I should know. I'm crazy. Bona-fide. Certified. Blind Ramblin' Crazy. I've got papers. Sounds to me like you have it together.

Best of luck. Thanks again.
Peace.

blind ramblin' crazy

You know, they say a smile is contageous, and I really believe it is. What you wrote here has really touched me and is one of the nicest gestures anyone has ever done, without any need to. I am so happy I was able to brighten your day, but having read this, you have done the same for me. I wish I was better with words to express how much I admire your strength in your recovery, and that your words actually help put in perspective how to achieve it.
I too have my shows that noone but me probably likes, , and I too am bona-fide, certified, crazy, with papers to prove it. (Luckily for us, crazy doesn't equal stupid).
I've got to tell you I seldom have come accross such kindness, and I really respect you and thankyou for writing this.
Thankyou again,
Vurtgirl

Woof (tail waggins all 'round )

I, too, am so sorry to hear you are injured! It must be very frustrating for you, because you sound like a person who is normally very active. Since you cannot get your body to be active, at least you have found ways to keep your mind going. TV, books, music, crossword puzzles, surfing the net, and of course, writing to us are all good ways to keep your spirits up. Heck, I keep my spirits up doing the same things.

If it is sad that you watch the reruns of LOCI over and over, even on the same day, then you've got company in that area. I do too - 1. To see VDO - physically 2. To catch anything I may have missed - a sarcastic comment from Eames or a clue to BG's or Eames' personal lives. It takes my mind off my worries, which aren't a big deal, but sometimes burdensome. It's much easier to think about what's going on in LOCI - and easier is better sometimes.

So do hang in there and don't despair. You will recover physically, and with a good attitude and fun things to occupy your mind, you will be sane and happy when you do!

Thankyou so much for your well wishes. I can't tell you how right you are about me being normally active.

It really is helpful to ease my mind by doing all kinds of things, and sometimes all you want to do is just watch a show on tv that you like. Like my precious LOCI. Plus talking to all you sweet people.

Thanks again

Vurtgirl

(sorry everyone for going OT)

Sounds like a mighty fine plan to me.

C'MON Now, peeps!!!!! It's not like it'd kill ya or anything....

Hey! Where's our brave mob-surfing thread starter??? We're looking for the lo down!!! (well, i am, at least..)



I'm going to have to catch up with my reading because I seem to be missing some shared tragedies that folks have alluded to in a couple of threads. Not being rude - just haven't read the context post...

Waiting as well....oh well, I`ll just put everything ready for tomorrow. I realize just because it`s 20.56h here, it`s not even the end of the work day in different parts of the world.

But please spill soooooooooon .

10:56??? You do Love us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi, seraph...

Cvl's treating you well, I hope? She let me borrow her boy, so I had to return the favor...

Ahum. Am I reading this right you are calling me a boy? You do like to get slapped don`t you. Don`t make me get my chain!

NOOOOOO! (hand over mouth) But man, yeah, that does read really badly, doesn't it? I was making reference to Cvl's joke in another thread about me letting her borrow you. Man - that joke did die a pretty painful death, huh? As well it should with such completely non-meshing factors! D'ah well... Points for trying??




-------------
hi, seraph...

Sorry but you two are so cute in your posts to each other. Although dunno if I'd want to be present if you were in the same room. I don't think I would be able to breathe from laughing.

Mehehe! It`s my bad then, I totally read that and I was totally gonna respond to that....and then I forgot. So yeah, I get it now . Sorry.

Hahahahaha, whoops...

Nah, girl... that was my bad cuz that was a loooooong stretch of a comedic trip to try to take!


-----

hi, vici...

Talking about us? I`m grinning here, because I can respond to Naydi by the grace of the time I have to process what she says and getting to re-read it and then think about a response. Seriously, I think irl her talking to me would sound a lot like Chinese, only with me understanding the individual words .

*huggles Naydi*
You put my English skills to the test so bad I swear...

Ok I am feeling OT right now. Seraph I should get my girls, my dutchies to write me up something to say to you. I am getting better at listening to it, but still no real understanding of the language, gotta learn when I get home. I can't wait to go to Holland next year!

Due to a lack of on topic-ness, I`m gonna watch some tv and go to bed. Bye all!

I've just wasted two precious hours of my life watching 007 Casino Royale. Is it just me or that movie sucks? I'm confused, because I read good reviews about it, but, in my opinion, everything after the opening credits (interesting animation and music) was a bad joke. The unrealistic and way too long action scenes, the nonsense plot, the lack of dialogues (I seriously think the script is 10 pages long tops), anyway, it was so ridiculous that at one point the whole thing started looking like comedy to me, and I burst out laughing during a scene that was supposed to be dramatic. The whole movie theatre stared at me, those people must be saying right now: "some crazy woman cracked up when James Bond was desperately trying to save the love of his life"

I was wondering if any of you saw it, and whether or not you liked it, I'm inclined to think that LOCI fans would hate it, due to the "boobs and action" approach.

Thanks for the "heads up" on this bomb, Sylvia I was planning on seeing it with my mom over the holidays at some point. Guess I'll skip it. Question: is the new James Bond hot? He certainly doesn't look it, but I've heard that he's very sexy in the film. Your opinion on that??

Haven't seen it, and probably won't. I just don't see the new guy as Bond-ish at all. Don't know what all the fuss is...Thanks so much for the heads-up so I can avoid it like the plague!

What I do want to see is "The Good Shepherd" with Matt Damon. If anyone has seen, can you post? I'm lucky if I can talk my husband into going to one movie a year, and it's usually relegated to a Ben Stiller or Adam Sandler sophomoric comedy (cringes).

God bless you, rowe! There were some moments of pure joy and some sharing that I thought might be completely gone due to the necessary cleaning up of some of the threads - how cool for you to move them into here...

Anywho, keeping with the thread 'topic', check out this story:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061218/od_uk_...uk_italy_mirror

The things that we don't even know we're taking for granted!!! Can't imagine what the depression (& possible suicide) rates must have been in this village year after year....

EDIT: Here's an expanded story on the village...

http://www.capetimes.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3570650

EDIT 2, cuz i'm finding thing slower than i'm typing: Just want to share that it was Seraph who was the brain child of the Off Topic thread. I'm only first cuz my comment starting off the thread now was created in another thread before she started this one up. ;-}

You're welcome, Naydi. Some of those conversations were so uplifting and fun, I couldn't possibly have deleted them. I'm more than happy to keep them. I'm a pack rat...a neat one, LOL but a pack rat nonetheless --- I will never delete anything unless it's absolutely abominable and in violation of the NBC rules yadda yadda yadda. So, please, share away.

I was a little "Oh, I can't believe Pierce Brosnan is gone", but the new James Bond is okay. Not drop dead gorgeous, but he's better than I expected. He is really well-toned (they strip him naked in one scene and you can tell he worked out A LOT for that role) and very athletic (he runs/jumps/fights 2/3 of the movie). He doesn't do it for me, though, maybe because he lacks the intellectual factor. The movie is 2:24 long, and I can't remember what he sounds like, isn't it weird? It's all about the action. Ridiculous, unrealistic action. I can't believe this movie is a box office record, I think people are going to see it just out of curiosity about this new guy. Trust me, ladies, you'll be better off watching "Happy Feet"

Vincent's too smart, he wouldn't make a good James Bond

The only problem is, if our dear VDO was in iminent danger where he had to run from let's say a bomb explosion or something, he would never make it to safety in time. "Pump pump pump, choo choo choo"!

Help! I can't stop laughing!!!

(to gorenfan)

(AGAIN with the screwed up posting!! Well... to REPEAT:)

Hey Peachy!!!!(and everyone else)

Check out the Viewer Buzz on the main NBC page. Look's like the board made it on there this LOCI Tuesday with Peachy's "storyline" thread being the diamond they were finally able to find amongst our fun lovin' piles of coal....!

To kill two birds with one stone:

NS, watch where you point your quoting - you just quoted yourself!
For sheer irony's sake, I'm doing the same here cuz I don't want the above point missed amongst the faux 007 talk!

Last night, I taped an ep of CI b/c I went out. So I got home, watched it and went to bed.... then I dreamt of CI....it was w-e-i-r-d...

It was like watching the show and being in it at the same time (as more of an observer).

It went something like this:


Police all in the squad room talking. Goren, Eames, and Ross in the interview room. Someone at the entrance of the squad room screams. Cops all run out to see what's up. Some guy's got a bomb stuck to him. Goren yells "look out!" Everyone ducks or jumps behind their desks. Goren jumps behind a pillar (no idea where that came from) and the bomb explodes.

Scene shifts to Goren talking to Eames, telling her he has to make sure she's still fit for duty after everything. Then for some reason, they start to spar, throwing punches and all of that. Punches were flying and being blocked, then Goren starts doing round houses and kicking and Eames barely gets out of the way then he starts doing flips....the middle of the floor drops away and a railing circles it so they can see down to the first floor. Goren jumps from one end of the railing, flips through the air, and lands on the other railing. He tells Eames "If you can do that then you're fit for duty."



And that's about it....

I have NO idea where that came from but when I woke up I actually believed it was a real, new episode of the show....and no I'm not on crack.

Hmmm, I like this topic. We can talk about whatever the he** we want to. I get vivid dreams too alli, I always have. It's good when it's about something good, but when it's a nightmare, man does it suk, and I'm not on crack either .
This topic is great at a time like this when they haven't shown a new ep in soooooooooooooo long, especially now that we have half the shows with our man than we use too. I can just sit here and nag all day if I wanted to, couldn't I? Well can't think of anything else now, but I'll be back mwoooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhahhahhhahahha.

Off Topic Comment:
I am NOT DONE with my Christmas shopping People who are done with their Christmas shopping in October annoy me (I guess deep down I'm jealous of their competence).

Yeah I just started last week....because I never know what the h#$% to get people...except gift certficates but that's a last resort. Last week I bought 2 people's gift in one day which is practically a miracle for me...then this past Sunday, I took my mom shopping and got everyone else's gift (except my mother's of course). It was weird, I spent 3 hours shopping and just knew what to get people. I already know what to get my mom too so on Friday that'll be what I'm doing all day. Buying that last gift and helping my dad get a clue about what to buy people.

I have a friend who did shopping in October and I don't understand. People sometimes still buy themselves things around then so those crazy people could end up buying someone a gift that someone already bought themselves. Or what about release dates for cd's, dvd's, computer games, etc.? I suppose they just ignore it if people want one of those things...

Me, I'm definitely someone who only starts shopping from Dec 7th and on...and I always get it done.

Almost forgot to mention this....though I might post on another topic too.

Go on Youtube.com and type in "law and order muppet style" ....the last few seconds with the 'chung chung' is hilarious.

just cuz...

Well, at least now we know where the "chung chung" went this season...Sesame Street used it all up.

I think I love you . That song is great! Gorillaz rock!

Muppet Law & Order . Very surreal .

Edit: sort of related to the Gorillaz: assuming you know this one.

You, my friend - Rock in so many different levels that I can't even count!!! I was going to stick to Damon Alburn and link Girls and Boys, but am seeing that the video sucks a**... So how about this instead?

...and now for something completely different

and one for kermie and all his rocky mountain friends...

Ohh, I turned down the radio for that (is a big charity thing going on here, all week), Interpol is cool! You gave me download ideas .

And the Muppets....oh they better show the Muppet Christmas Carol again this year, otherwise it`s not Christmas!

I have inspiration for some other music links, but no time! Need to gather my stuff for tomorrow otherwise I`ll forget half of my things. Maybe later .

better yet - i've been looking for an excuse to put this one up...

pulp

(not sure what's up with the dog bark toward the middle? know it's not in the song - don't remember it in the video...)

*pouts*

I had inspiration to put two things up....something from a Dutch band, and something from Pulp....since it only made sense to do so. Not a big fan though, they`re fun, but that`s it for me...The dog bark is weird hahahahahaha.

DOH! sorry...

But in keeping with all the d'mn scary coincidences, I'd actually just come back to edit my post to ask you to put up some local music when you had the time [ !!!!??!!!] Last thing I've heard from remotely close to out your way was Husky Rescue's Summertime Cowboy. Not enough to make me dive into them (just as Common People wasn't enough to make me go whole hog into PULP [again !!!!??!!!]), but I love hearing stuff from other countries.


Oh and, my being a Cocteau Twins fan from way back, don't worry about necessarily just looking for stuff in English...

Hehehe, well, the problem is that if you don`t understand Dutch or even German, our language sounds pretty d.amn awful to outsiders I believe. There`s one band though that makes Dutch very pretty. Anyway, I always think we have good bands so just quick some stuff:

Kane Please don`t look at the singer hahaha (English)
Blof It`s a little soft, but I love them. There are going to record this song in English as well, the title means "Proposal without rings (Dutch)
Blof & Counting Crows And yes, the lyrics make just as little sense in Dutch.
Krezip They can rock really good as well, but this is a nice ballad (English)
Ilse de Lange Is a bit more country than the rest. (English)

Anyway, this is who I thought of just quickly, we`ve got loads, but the problem is that with a lot of stuff it`s just a shame to not know what they are singing.

End of my promotion of Dutch music
