Historical geology, the study of rocks. Tests and research papers and lectures and ROCKS (plus how the universe was born). I'm hoping to pull a B out of it. I'm so lost in science. Once he started saying that magnetic polarity reverses at random, I was lost. What the hell does that mean? The North Pole is at the South sometimes???? ohhhhhhh, my brain hurts..... So *my* professor has not said No. I am leaving him presents to try and tame him. My poor professor has been hurt by very bad women, and is very afraid of being hurt again. So I treat him like a wild rabbit and leave little carrots for him. Maybe he'll be able to respond by Fall. I don't mind working for him, nor waiting. I know he is interested. He is just very afraid. After all, I am Bethey, and Everyone gets scared of Bethey...Right? ;) Off to study clay sediments retaining environmental records.... did I mention I don't much like science? Fairy Blessings, Bethey I'm OK when Everything's not OK cause it's the Fairies Revenge they say And I have always been a Fairy. www.bethcoulter.com -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 23:46:30 -0400 From: "Bethany Rose" <hejira@u-town.com> To: "Dipfucks" <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Subject: the world is going to hell Brian sed: "Really, you can probably insert any thing you like at this point. Hamsters, chicken entrails, large funnels... The first week of its release there were so many people reading it on the train." it's funny, my last day in Glasgow i went to this dark, dank, gloomy little pub and there was a guy on the corner of the bar, nursing a drink and completely absorbed in The Order of the Phoenix. or, as my friend MT once said, "Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Chicken: Combo Platter #6." so, i am back from a month in the UK. i did write a load of stuff while i was there, and if you so wish, you can see some of it here: http://hejira.u-town.com/archives/index.html i haven't heard the new Liz Phair yet, outside of a clip on the internet. i've decided i'm going to crawl into a little hole, put Exile in Guyville on repeat and wait for the horror to pass. honestly, what the hell did she think she was doing? doesn't she know she already has the most massive props from the people who really count? the woman's not made for the Britney crowd, and she's probably not any good at it. *grumble* Brian also sed: "I could have sworn you wrote Jewel SHAVING her pubic hair." speaking of jewel, yesterday i read a rather amusing article on Slate about the general hypocrisy of her latest schtick (or schick, as it were): http://slate.msn.com/id/2085175/ all i have to say is i thought it would be a cold day in hell when i would be digging Beyonce Knowles more than Liz Phair. -bethany _______________________________________________________________ a journal : http://hejira.u-town.com love is a story told to a friend, it's secondhand (joni mitchell) -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2003 11:08:04 +0200 From: "Gabriela Kulka" <gabakulka@wp.pl> To: "RDT Right Now" <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Subject: stand back... hello my little arty turners, so many great come-backs nowadays, might as well go with the flow. Only difference might be - I chance not being remembered, whooops. ;-) It's been a feverishly busy time for me, but it brought some fruits. I think I now am a slightly more together lass than beforehand but who knows. Anyway, what IS up? Tori taking a break till 2005 at least as Neil said. Neil said hi by the way. No, actually he didn't, but I did meet him. He drew an Alice Cooper makeup on my cover of th Last Temptation, yay. Hold on, didn't I post about it? (*looks at watch*) Nope, haven't posted here in a zillion years at least. The last time I was reading this list, the world was going to hell in a hand basket and now it seems it resides there. The only true realisation is that actually nothing has changed, because nothing ever changes, so a certain lesson about life-catastrophies has been learnt, that people survive and go on with that extra load of awareness inside their heads and that little bit of trust and naivity less. Matrix reloaded came and went. It was enjoyed thoroughly with or without its shortcomings, but hell, I like Notting Hill also so maybe I have no taste. ;-) The movie I'm really waiting for is one that had its premiere here postponed - a Chinese production "The Hero" by the director of "Hang the Red Lanterns" (okay, this is a Polish translation of the title so it might not be that exactly.). I have a hunch it might be a real visula treat. I really can't complain about the West getting saturated with delicious eastern aesthetics (vide the Matrix). Bring it on. I saw "Spirited Away" and loved it - I was one of two people in the room! Where has everybody gone? Oh yes, they're watching "Too Fast and Too Furious".... :B Speaking of motion pictures and the visual media... I haven't been able to see the taxivision contestants. My Quicktime exploded when I tried to install number 6. ka. boom. Too bad, I do seem to have other important things than upgrading my software. In other news, I'm still a working musician, I'm writing, recording and praying (three basic activities of the Independant). Also have a CD out, "Between Miss Scylla and a Hard Place" at CDbaby and some new songs on Iuma, and...er...a new homepage? Yes. And all that good stuff. check it out if you so please. http://gabrielakulka.prv.pl As for Tori, again, i was secretly hoping she'll do a brief repeat tour of Europe, which is crazy, of course, she's been on the road for ages now, hasn't she? I saw her in Poznan this winter. The year has generally been rich in wonderful concert experiences. Peter Gabriel in Poznan. Iron Maiden in Katowice. Unfortunately not going to see Bjork, but what the hell. You can't always get what you want. Boy. This was random. all good wishes to you all. hope I'll have time enough to rejoin the list properly.

Brian said: > the fear of darkness (black, night, whatever) goes much further than any > racial stereotype. It's only racial because society say it's so. Absolutely. As some comedian pointed out once, few if any people are really black or white. Some are brown (in various shades, dark brown to yelllow) and some are pink. I think the reason the pinkish people got labeled "white" (which has positive connotations) and some of the darker brown people got labeled "black" (negative connotations) was because the pinkish people were mostly in charge. Beth said: > *nodding enthusiastically* I think that's a good way of looking at it. There's an element of "the grass is always greener" about it. Some people in LDRs think all their problems would be solved if they lived closer together. Some people in "live-in" relationships wish (sometimes silently, sometimes not) that the other person would move at least a little farther away. The only reason my marriage lasted as long as it did was that we had different days off from work, so each of us got at least one day a week when we could pretend that we lived alone. > Did you see the first "Matrix?" Would "Reloaded" have made sense if you > hadn't seen it? Did it make sense even if I had seen it? :-) Seriously, I think with a multi-mega success, it's probably a reasonable assumption with the sequel that most people will have seen the original, especially now in the era of video and DVD. I think it was correct not to have a recap at the start of The Two Towers, for example. I think that's different from releasing a movie where you (perhaps) have to see a different movie, or TV show or video game to understand it. That may be an artistic choice, but it smells of marketing. It's done all the time in comics. A lot of people buy "Starman" (for example). Not too many people buy "The Blue Frisbee." So, you orchestrate a six-issue cross-over story which goes back and forth between the two titles for three months, to get all the "Starman" people to at least sample "The Blue Frisbee." > I think Smith just says "Mister Anderson" because it sounds more > foreboding. >From a moviemaking standpoint, that's undoubtedly true. That was my favorite moment in the trailer, as I think I mentioned.

Hola mes amies, I want to kill my email provider. They've allowed these new-wave pop-ups that you CAN'T FUCKING CLOSE to completely cover the fucking screen and attempt to make you click on them in a fruitless attempt to get them the fuck off your screen. ARGH! I hate pop ups. I hope that the person who created that pop up and the person who authorized that pop up get bitten by rabid weasels. Grr! ...Or maybe I'm just angry because I'm listening to NIN. It's impossible to listen to some of their songs and NOT get pissed off. I dunno, but I was fucked up yesterday in a horrible way and I guess some of that is carrying over to today. You see, in 8th grade gym class, we did a gymnastics unit that I hated and loathed. They put us all in the gym and the teacher told us that we had to be doing gymnastic-y things during the entire period, or else we'd get an F for the day. So I decided to attempt to use the horse. And I hated it and during my 389724th attempt to completely jump it, my foot got caught on the edge of it and I ended up landing on the back of my head. I suppose I should be thankful I'm not paralyzed, but what DID happen was that I got a concussion and a mild hemotoba (sp?), which is when a whole bunch of blood all goes to this one place and stays there, creating a bump. The blood solidified and I had a small bump on the lower right side of my head from then on, which never really bothered me that much because I could still lay on my back or side without ever being bothered by it. This was in 8th grade. I'm a sophomore in college now. And the bump has gotten bigger and it has moved. And to this I say, what the fucking fuck! Now my head kinda hurts when I lie on my back. I notice the bump now, which I never did before, and it seems to have decided to try and crawl upwards a bit. I don't think that random bumps should decide to MOVE ACROSS THE SKULL like some fucking cancer with legs. And I ended up somehow hurting yet another section of my skull yesterday, too, although I'm not sure how, so now it even hurts MORE to lie the fuck down. I dislike it when sections of my body betray me. It pisses me off, Nine Inch Nails aside. So now I'm sitting here and I can't NOT think about whether or not anything's wrong with me, whether or not it's normal for hemotobas to scurry up and down someone's skull, whether or not I'll need surgery, and whether or not I'll be the same, afterwards, if I do. I guess being affected in the brain is one of my biggest fears, because I've devoted my entire life to improving my brain, becoming smarter and more creative and learning, Learning, LEARNING! I really haven't done anything with my body. It's been all in my mind where I've been doing the mental push-ups, the crunches, the leg-lifts. And I don't ever want my brain to be hurt, ever, because my brain is one of the things that makes me who I am. God, what am I going to do when I'm 60 and my body REALLY decides to pay me back for the neglect I've given it throughout the years. God. And I'm pissed off in a worried kinda way. Especially because I am reminded that I'm mortal. That I'm gonna die. And that very few people will be affected by my death in the long run. Of course, I'm not going to die anytime soon and this is a very small thing that's wrong with me, but it's still something wrong that I cannot help and I want it to be RIGHT again, you know? So, being in the morbid, pissed off, what-the-fuck mood I'm in right now, I have a question for you all: What do you believe happens when you die? How many on the list believe in Heaven and Hell? How many in reincarnation? How many here believe that we just blink out, like a puff of wind on a candle, and that's all there is, folks? What do you guys believe? Where do we go when we die? Do any of you know? Does anyone, ever, know? How Now, Brown Cow? Megan Christine Auffart *************************************** "I like money better than people.

I was thinking, the only thing that would make this better would be if i was HAVING sex at this moment. oh, well. patience, jessica, patience. bethey, what's up with professor love? kh/winter: what's your favorite episode of the sopranos? mine is college tour. i don't know if that's the exact title but tony takes meadow on the tour of colleges in maine. yeah, it's great. he takes her to one and there's this amazing quote by someone on the wall. wow, wasn't that specific of me? i forgot the quote and even who said it but it was amazing applicable to the episode. i just saw the episode where carmela kisses the interior decorator. that was a great one too. damn, i should start a sopranos list or find one on topica. brian, thanks for answering my favorite clothing question. :) ok, so any pair of levi's wins for me especially if they're the 515s or the new type 1 which some of my friends told me make my ass look good and ANY pair that makes your ass looks good needs to be bought. actually, anything period that makes your ass look luscious need to be purchased. ok i think we need to have a conversation about tipping. i tip on my mood and there are some things i won't tip on like bartenders. how hard is it to make a drink or take the cap off a beer? i honestly wish i knew how much they made so i could tip based on that. does this make me sound like a biotch? oh and if i get bad service i will absolutely NOT tip. what the fuck is the point? anyway, yesterday two of my friends and i went to olive garden (world's best restaurant) and we spent $44 all together and had wonderful service. so we tipped the waitress about $11. someone told me it was too much but she does have to live. i just contradicted myself but anyway...opinions welcome. ok, next topic for convo. my friend has been dating her boyfriend 8 months. she refuses to go down on him but get this: they share toothbrushes. what the fuck? isn't that silly? then again, i have no qualms about going down on a guy but using someone's toothbrush is gross. i don't why i think it's gross though. why do we have sex with people and then shut the door when we pee? why do i shut the door when i'm home alone? who knows....it's probably just habit. the questions that are plaguing me...god i think i spelled that wrong. :/ -jessica the only time we don't speak is during speak is during sex and the city. she gets carrie-fever but as soon as the show's over she's right back to being my soldier. --jay-z i'm gonna fuck you softly. i'm gonna screw you gently. i'm gonna hump you sweetly. i'm gonna bone you discreetly. but then i'm gonna fuck you hard. --tenacious d _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 06:20:36 -0400 From: John Bragazzi <utown@worldnet.att.net> To: RDT Right Now <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Subject: in france, a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name Brian said: > While it's a gorgeous song, it's got a whole world of hurt in it.
