The Topic of Great Randomness

Hah. I am, most probably, the only person in Michigan who does not participate in any winter sports. Not skiing, not skating, not snowboarding. I am a disgrace to my state.
re Angua/whoever: ah well. To each his or her own. *quietly waves miniature flag reading 'Remus/Angua' behind her back*

The important thing about adventures, thought Mr Bunnsy, was that they shouldn't be so long as to make you miss mealtimes.

Back to teeth: I got my molars back when I was five I think. It was really freaky. Then when I was nine I got my wisdom teeth...Luckily, they fit fine and I didn't have to have laughing gas or whatever.
And meteorite---I am so sorry. (What more can I say? *rakes brain*) Hugs.

Lucky for me... I have perfecto teeth! All my friends need braces except for me.

(Unlucky for me I am almost blind I can't see anything without my wonderful glasses.)

Papercrane: I am probably the only person in MN who doesn't do any winter sports. People get mad at me because I don't like hockey....

Opps! I forgot my class is going to this big ski place where our school is (Afton Alps) which is easier snowboarding or skiing...i don't know what to do.

Mmiester (Agent M) Do you have the video game DDR Max?

[Agent M]

Zgirl, you are scaring me. Seriously. Do I know you or something? Yes I do have DDR max, it helps me MUCHO on my excersize, and you go to Afton Alps? I take ski lessons there!!! That place ROCKS, it takes like, 2 hours to get there, I'm not exaggerating, but it's the best. Definatly.

No M I don't know you... do you live in Woodbury? If you go to school in district 833 you may know me. (Everyone knows my name because it is very unique.)

i'm now starting to get freaked out...

[EWizard11]

I read for seven hours yesterday. Really. We have to keep track of the time that we read each day for our reading log. Aaaaaaaannnd...I think I have just stretched my scarf out of proportion. Oh no wait, it goes back to its original size. Cool.

OMG. They played Jump Jive & Wail. They played Jump Jive and Wail! Stupid inconsiderate DJ! *sob*

This is getting a little too freaky. M, how about you and Zgirl just settle on you both live in Minnesota and go skiing at this Afton Alps place. This is freaking even me out, and I live overseas from you two. How about you might have met on he street, but you don't know each other. We'll be happy with that. What an odd scarf!

Errr, Agent M, this is probably rubbing salt in the wound, but you might wanna read this page of the NT's website. Particularly the parts about Day Seats, Standing Room, and Returns--all methods by which you may get into a Sold Out show.

I did it the last time I was in the UK to see the then-latest Stoppard play, The Invention of Love. Lined up at 8am, and was able to snag one of the six or so Day Seats they had left. But for His Dark Materials you might have had to get there before dawn ...

[Agent M]

You make me feel sooooooo much better. JK. It's okay.
Stoppard? as in Tom Stoppard? Isn't he the one writing the screenplay for HDM movie? Or maybe he's directing it....

*shrugs* I have no idea, but I somehow doubt it... Stoppard writes semi-comedy mostly, doesn't he? Or, wait, I may well be confused... but his stuff plays here a lot, it's quite popular, and none of it seems much like HDM.

OTOH, you'd know more about it than I would.

Yeppers, Tom Stoppard wrote the screenplay for the movie, and he's writing the second one now, heres the site if you wanna look at it: http://www.thezreview.co.uk/comingso...kmaterials.htm
It has some info on the movie, but it's almost never updated...

Hmm...I would be really uncomfortably if I were Lyra. I mean, think about it. Your picture would be all over the WWW, you would be a celebrity, everyone would want to know about boyfriends and girlfriends and..."Have you ever been kissed?" Which is not a question I want to answer. Seeing as there are very personal sections of my life that I don't tell anyone.

Yeah, that Tom Stoppard. Although I think of him more as the Tom Stoppard of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, Jumpers, The Fifteen-Minute Hamlet, The Real Thing, Hapgood, India Ink/In the Native State and Arcadia.

And Tui, Stoppard's a most-excellent playwright, but he generally makes much more gonzo money working on screenplays (sigh). I've only ever seen two screenplays he worked on that felt completely Stoppard-like, which were Shakespeare in Love and his adaptation of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. All the others (Brazil, Russia House, Billy Bathgate, Enigma, etc.) don't feel much like him, except in small spots. He's very good at letting the original material come through. He won't be turning HDM into a laugh-a-minute or something.

We can only hope that we'll be getting the Ridley Scott of Bladerunner and not the Ridley Scott of Legend.

BTW, found a radio show on the BBC website that mentions the NT production.

I'm sorry BC..... who is Lyra?
