What are you up to?

[[deleted user]]

My house is the same way. I wish it was cold here.

[[deleted user]]

Had to close all the windows it got so cold this evening. Was getting a sun tan earlier. Rain forecast for tomorrow. Ick!

[[deleted user]]

Having coffee, reading, and checking out GR and Facebook. Another rainy day...sigh.

[dave]

Im not up to much, reading comics with cartoons in the background. Party time

[[deleted user]]

That's pretty much what i'm doing Dave. XD

[dave]

What comics and cartoons have you got going fangs?

[[deleted user]]

Superman and I'm watching Speed Racer. lol

[dave]

Nice, ive got creepy, a magazine/comic from the 70s and am watching kevin spencer

[[deleted user]]

Which one? I have a few of those comics somewhere. lol

[dave]

Just got the entire series on my tablet :) i have a few old mags laying around in the collection too tho, this is my first time reading them all tho, and its so good, lol

[dave]

what colour was it before?

[Shauna]

Ah Gabby that is the copper used in pools binding to the protein in your hair. Apparently if you put lots of tomato juice on your hair, leave for a few minutes and wash and condition it, it should help. Yet again a conversation here involves the word tomato! XD

[Shauna]

Did it work? I am blonde so obviously have an interest in this, I don't think I would suit the 'green hair' look although it would match my eyes!

[[deleted user]]

Hey peeps. How is everyone?

[[deleted user]]

Watching the Jays game and the Jays are WINNING!!!

[Shauna]

Thanks Gabby. I am (ahem) not a natural blonde.
Hi Aaron, glad your team are winning.

[Shauna]

Me too, isn't science wonderful?!

[Shauna]

Now I am going to watch the second part of Jamaica Inn on DVD and have a peaceful evening. No boyfriend at the moment - he is away on a business trip to Poland.

[[deleted user]]

Poland. My father was there when he was in the army, Shauna.

[Bruce]

What I am up to at the moment is trying to find a book. I read a group of short-stories maybe 5-7 years ago and cannot remember the auther or title. Can someone help?

One of the stories was about how Marilyn Monroe stole a friend's voice style.

The writer was a pretty new writer. A woman, I think.

Thanks for your help, Bruce

[[deleted user]]

Same her Gabby bored out of my mind! lol Watching Family guy.

[[deleted user]]

I'm sore after fantastic coitus.

[[deleted user]]

To much info. XP lol

[dave]

yea we dont need to know that shit chum, stick to private messages if you want to brag

[[deleted user]]

ANYWAY!
I'm currently working on my comic book guys.

[dave]

Thats great, hows it coming along?

[[deleted user]]

I'm working on the script part at the moment. Just want to make sure the story line is out of the way before we move to the art.

[dave]

Ok, creepy old guy is gone. That sounds like a good way to go fangs. For my little comic strips i do the same thing

[[deleted user]]

Yeah I've had a lot more time to work on it lately. I figure once it's done, I'll put it up for you guys to check out.

[dave]

I very much am looking forward to it :) i think im gonna try to crash, good sayin hi. Ill be around more, im a lot less busy now

[[deleted user]]

Alright always nice talking to you Dave. I'm probably going to do the same soon. Hopefully. lol

[Shauna]

Hi, it is morning here and I am enjoying a coffee, birdsong and sunshine.

[dave]

Good night fangs, and shauna, its night here so good night to you too :) i hope you have a fantastic day

[Shauna]

Thanks dave, hope you manage to get some sleep tonight.

[[deleted user]]

Hello Shauna. I'm glad your morning is good so far. :)

[Shauna]

Hi Fangs, so far so good but it isn't 9am yet so could go either way! How are you?

[[deleted user]]

I'm good actually. Wish I could get to sleep. But that's pretty much everyday. lol

[Shauna]

What time is it for you? Insomnia must be awful. Isn't it a sign of intelligence though? :)

[[deleted user]]

It's 4 in the morning here. And it can be bad sometimes. Especially when I have things to do later.

[Shauna]

I don't know how you cope. I wake up a lot in the night but still manage to get a decent sleep most of the time.

[[deleted user]]

It's fine really. Mostly I stay up and wait for my hubby to get home from work. He sleeps when he gets home, so I usually try and sleep when he does.

[Shauna]

That makes sense but the night can be very long and lonely when you think all the rest of the world is asleep. At least you can come on here.

[[deleted user]]

Your right. And It is nice when I can talk to you guys. Especially when I'm the only one home.

[Shauna]

Talking of being the only one home- I won a Goodreads copy of 'The Shining' but I darent start to read it until my boyfriend is back. If it is anything like the film then it is seriously scary (looks over shoulder).

[dave]

The Kubrick film and the book are actually pretty different shauna, but yea, its still terrifying, lol. I am making some lunch, chicken sandwich, broccoli and cheese rice and some other veg, tbd. Im thinking peas, or corn, or both

[Shauna]

So do you prefer the book or the film dave? I have read other Stephen King books but not this one. Go for both the peas and the corn btw.:)

[[deleted user]]

I say just corn. But then again I can't have peas. lol

[dave]

I went with peas, lol. I liked the movie better. The book was good but to be honest im not the biggest fan of kings writing. His stuff makes great movies but his books are so boring. Too descriptive. Theres a mini series based on the shining that came out in 1997, its much more faithful to the book than kubricks movie. He definitely made it his own flick

[[deleted user]]

I sort of agree. I love descriptive books, but his are a bit to much sometimes.

[Shauna]

Thanks for your opinions. The last Stephen King book I read was actually a non-fiction book called 'On Writing' in which he talks about his life and gives advice on writing fiction.
