    "What if animals were round?"


    The crocodile in the early part and the cheetah falling from the tree in the end were <3</div>

    That was really funny! Thanks!

    Complaint: I have no discipline! If I could make myself write just 250 words a day, I could do a full novel a year with time left over for small projects! :bug: :bug:

    I need to work on the reward system, I think: no beer or chat until I write 250 words! Either in outlining, character development, etc. but no fun until the words are done! :ahhh: :ahhh:

    Beer should work a treat. Starting Monday: NO BEER UNTIL I WRITE 250 WORDS! :bug: :gulp:

    Let's see how long I can keep it up... :-S

    Too hot to give up beer :)

    Good idea - $2 day pass! :) :lol:

    Kyoto Kid said:

    ...and give it a transit ticket so it doesn't have to walk all the way.

    ...2$? What a deal

    A Day ticket here costs 5$!

    A one way fare with (hopefully*) a 2 hr transfer is 2.50$.

    ...and more bus service reductions are in the cards.


    *Today I was "shorted" by a half hour & feared I would have to pay a second fare to get all the way home. This has occurred in the past.

    Well, that blows! Day pass here is $2, 30 day pass is $30.. best transit deal in the country, I think.

    Bus cuts, feh. Feh. FEH!

    ...yeah, our commission is head over heels gaga in love with Light Rail. I feel we are living the Simpson's Monorail" episode, where the flim-flam man comes to Springfield and sells them on a monorail line telling them they aren't a "real city" unless they have one.

    A monthly pass is 100$. I can't afford that kind of outlay at the beginning of the month with rent and other bills also due. I have to use ticket books to spread the cost out to fit my budget which is both more expensive in the long run and more limited. They used to have a seven day pass where you scratched off (like on a lottery ticket) the dates it was to be valid for, but like anything simple, useful, and economical, they discontinued it. The new version can only be purchased at an automated ticket machine which are only located at light rail stations (none near where I live without going out of my way), and are instantly activated at time of purchase. You can't buy one in advance (like with the old ones) unless you don't mind losing one day's use.

    They continually make it more complicated, discouraging, and inconvenient to ride the bus and are under the delusion that will attract more to want to use the system.

    They also recently raised the minimum age for senior fares from 61 to 64 (yeah I was "that close" to finally getting a break). It used to be 55 when I first moved here.

    I'm In Love With Light Rail! (The Musical) (Finale)

    I'm head over heels
    In love with light rail,
    I'm in love, I'm in love
    With light rail!

    There's no better commute
    When I put on my suit
    And travel the tracks
    To my job!

    It's ever so neat
    When I grab a good seat
    And catch up on
    Yesterday's news!

    'Cause I'm head over heels
    In love with light rail,
    I'm in love, I'm in love
    With light rail!

    (Musical Interlude with tap-dancing that sounds like a train on the tracks)

    At the end of the day
    I rush all the way,
    Just to get on aboard
    And go home!

    And the clickety-clack
    As we roll down the track
    Always puts a big smile
    On my face!

    I'm head over heels
    In love with light rail,
    I'm in love, I'm in love
    With light rail!

    (He is joined onstage by a host of people dressed in business suits, dancing and singing in the big ending)

    We're head over heels
    In love with light rail,
    We're in love, we're in love
    With light rail!

    Oh you never can fail
    When you travel by rail! (hold on last note)

    We're in love, we're in love
    With light rail!

    no beer? as in write while cold sober? interesting.

    I'll be serious for a few words since I feel like it!

    I've written sober, buzzed, and annihilated. Sober I produce good prose, excellent spelling and grammar, and generally well-written works, but my poetry sucks. Buzzed, the grammar slips but my humor and comedic sense is heightened, so it's worth it to write and just make an extra edit pass. When demolished, I write dark, dark, dark stuff not suitable for the living to read (but would probably sell like mad as horror, erotic horror, or paranormal romance). :-S

    The sad part is, drinking doesn't help me forget - it actually makes me remember. Very annoying.

    Sounds like a carpload of bureaucratic assotishness to me! :blank: They put in light rail here 2 years ago and it's losing money hand over fist.. crummy hours, expensive, limited stops. A seriously stupid unless you go the San Francisco route and run it everywhere with longer hours. :blank:

    Feh!

    y'know, those looseleaf binders with the clear "windows" seem a brilliant idea, until you have to wiggle a label down the binder side, and mercy if you have to get them out again. grr

    ...use something like a thin steel ruler. Place it behind the spine label before inserting and slowly slide both down into the spine pocket. Once the label is in, slowly pull the ruler out. Note: this will not work with a ruler that has a cork "non skid" backing. Actually any strip of thin steel will work. It also helps to open the binder up when inserting the spine as that relieves tension on the spine area.


    Thanks. i have a dozen more binders to do today.

    much better than spiral bound manuals, how are you supposed to label these things so you can tell what's what on a bookshelf? yankee echo echo sierra hotel

    I find that a beer or two can open up the synapses, as well. The trick is to be writing instead of in online chat, it's soooo easy to get sucked into yakking for hours and not actually DOING anything! :ahhh:

    Don't have the motivation or skill to be a 2D or 3D artist, don't want to go into management (oh Lord kill me now), music won't support me even as a starving artist.. so it's WRITE OR BUST! :ahhh: :ahhh:
