*now… is it an “S” or a “S”.

web anonymity

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:01:07 -0400

remember when we were told never to use our names on the internet? I now try and claim my name wherever I can (and in some cases, like facebook, someone got it an hour before me… grrr).

here on tumblr is one of the few anonymous places - even if you aren’t trying to be. I happen to use “icopythat” - which is a very searchable handle. but there are other tumblrs authored by … well, I have no idea.

is there a way to find out who is writing?

Do you belong in NYC?

Do you belong in NYC? :

“New Yorkers think an interesting life is more important than a happy life. What you really pay for with the exorbitant cost of living and the hard lifestyle is to be surrounded by strong performers, huge ambitions, and constant need for change and innovation. To live in New York City, you have to trade happiness for this. To most New Yorkers, it’s a no-brainer. They would take that trade any day. To most people outside of New York City the trade-off is crazy.”

As I am here for a week or so a month, I’ve been trying to put this into words.

Casting ended early. so,

I saw a double header tonight - it was raining, and thought why not catch a movie. So, the only one starting when I got there was Terminator - fine, I even watch the show. I am a nerd. It was a useless movie. nothing cool or shocking. dumb.

then, my mistake was seeing another. Just down the hall was the taking of pelham 1 2 3. Now, I have seen the original - it is cute, cliche ridden, fun, funny, and dumb - but it doesn’t promise to be anything more. Now the remake is cliche ridden and dumb. the action and twists were terrible, and it was the highest budget for a movie with two sets - a train car and a room with some computer screens. no one knew how to use a walkie talkie (you have to press the button… and two people can’t talk at the same time - it’s not a phone), you could see the reflections of set lights in glasses, it was obvious, painful, and had nothing gratifying about it. it was terrible and pointless.

I still couldn’t bring myself to sneak into transformers - there is no way I am even coming close to paying for that.

I describe a film plot based on two movies.

You tell me the combined title.

For example: Plot: suburban family gets mad at a hairy mountain-beast for satirizing them in his roman-a-clef.

So reblog or comment with an answer to the following, but ONLY if you write your own too.

title - schindler’s bucket list.

plot - 3 crime fighting women with a mysterious patron decide to become mortal for the love of meg ryan.

Chez Swine:

my friend in china was just evacuated due to H1N1… this is the first half of his account… he says -

The Great Arrest - While minding our own business in the Forbidden City, mingling with heat stroke and 30 million other tourists, we received a phone call from Chinauthorities summoning us immediately back to our hotel. A confirmed case of H1N1, which some of us like to call the swine flu, was festering only seats in front of us on our 14 hour flight from New York to Beijing. We had already been made semi-aware of this as men in hazmat suits entered the plane upon landing and pointed temperature GUNS at our heads to make sure we weren’t infected.

The Adventure Playground at the Berkeley Marina was opened in 1979. It is a wonderfully unique outdoor facility where staff encourage children to play and build creatively. Come climb on the many unusual kid designed and built forts, boats, and towers. Ride the zip line or hammer, saw, and paint. By providing these low risk activities Adventure Playground creates opportunities for children to learn cooperation, meet physical challenges and gain self confidence. - Pictures of a fort building project. The concept for Adventure Playgrounds originated in Europe after World War II, where a playground designer studied children playing in the “normal” asphalt and cement playgrounds. He found that they preferred playing in dirt and lumber from the post war rubble. He realized that children had the most fun designing and building their own equipment and manipulating their environment. The formula for Adventure Playgrounds includes Earth, fire, water, and lots of creative materials. (via Adventure Playground - City of Berkeley, CA
