I wish I could, but this year were moving back to Norfolk. I still joined the group you made and tried to join the official site, but it wouldn't let me. :\

[Stephanie]

It's brandy new. I know they've had some problems with it, Saira. It's in beta this month so you're supposed to report any bugs or problems you have in the NaNoWriMo forums where there's a thread for the Camp bug reports. But I bet your probably already knew that. :)

[Kymela]

Yeah...if I can remember how to get in. DX

[Stephanie]

What do you mean?

[Kymela]

Nevermind. I couldn't remember which password I used at first.

[Stephanie]

Oh, okay.

[Edward]

How was everyone's Thanksgiving?

[Stephanie]

Mine was great! My mom made one on Wednesday and we went down to her Dad's on Thursday. Both dinners were amazing!

[Edward]

That's cool.

We had a good dinner and watched Medea's Christmas. Now I must memorize the new Mass for tomorrow.

[Stephanie]

Good luck.

[Edward]

Is anyone else watching Once Upon a Time and thinking that the moral of the story is that we need to listen to kids because they know what they're talking about? That's the feel I'm getting from it.

[Edward]

I haven't seen last night's episode. I might watch it tonight.

[Kymela]

I still haven't caught up. XP

[Edward]

I liked that episode. Saved by the umbrella was a nice touch.

Then we watched a Psych called This Episode Sucks!

[Edward]

Yeah, I like him better than the Evil Witch/Mayor. There is something insanely fair about him - he doesn't hide the terms too closely. Sure there was that thing with Cinderella, but she had to know "Oh, I'll think of something" meant something really horrible. She still knew what she was signing up for.

It is interesting how much Rumple/Mr. Gold is in it. He's as central as the Mayor, Emma, and Henry, to all appearances.

My question is where is the story really heading? The plot with season one is rather clear - break the curse. Assuming Henry's fantasies are real and not just the makers messing with our heads (the clock and crickets certainly seem to suggest the real theory), then Emma should be getting hard proof in the back six episodes. They probably won't keep that up for more than a season, in which case next season is about ...?

Anyway ... I like the show.

[Edward]

Maybe it'll be six seasons: At the end of season one, confirmation that there is a curse, at the end of season three it is finally borken, and the rest resets as the final battle. I think the kid's words were: "You break the curse and then the final battle begins." (Emphasis mine.)

By the way, does any one have extrememly vivid dreams? There are several dreams that I can recount perfectly from beginning to end ... it's a touch odd.

[Kymela]

Out of all the new shows for this year I like Once Upon a Time and Grimm the best.

[Kymela]

Like the one where Jon stabbed you with a pencil? XD

[Edward]

Last night my dream had two parrallel plots involving a couple of broke twenty-year-olds chasing down five bucks and high end grifters ripping someone off for a million dollars.

[Edward]

Fantastic.[/lightsarcasm] Drowning in chocolate is ... I don't even know what that is.

One isn't supposed to die in their dreams. I have died in my dreams, several times. Once I had a conversation with the man who killed me after he too received lead poisoning.

[Kymela]

I usually don't remember my dreams after a few minutes.

Caffeine is not the problem for PMS, it's sugar, trust me-I know all too well. XP

[Kymela]

Ah, that might have been why it came out wrong...or maybe I read it wrong...I have a headache so that's quite a possibility. XP

[Kymela]

Weather is part of it, a cold front just came through today, but part of it is too much sugar. It makes the muscles in my shoulder and neck tense up pretty bad. I also haven't had any coffee today...

I did watch Once Upon a Time but I didn't think that. Of course, I haven't really been looking for the moral of the story.

[Stephanie]

Agreed. That is, about the umbrella.

[Edward]

I was joking about the moral of the story. It's by the creators of LOST, so it's less about lessons and more about how far they can push the "believable" in believable plot twist. And it's also fun to watch.

[Stephanie]

I love Once Upon a Time. It's fresh and different from everything else that's on TV. Anyone watching The Sing-Off? So glad Penatonix won!!!

[Edward]

I haven't; I generally don't watch re- wait, "Penatonix"? That's a name?

[Stephanie]

Yeah, Edward. That's the name of the group that one this season.

I like Rumple/Mr. Gold too, Alex. I love it how he's involved with everything.

[Edward]

In the stories I think he eats them, but the way fairy tale stories work it might as well mean pedophilia.

[Edward]

Uh ... he's a local "friend?" People don't usually suspect their neighbors of being psychopaths.

Let's hope Henry isn't the one who figures out of that Mr. Gold is Rumpelstiltskin.

[Edward]

We live in ... a low end but mostly clean apartment complex. The traffic around here is just the right blend of frequent enough for people to see things but not so crowded as to not look, so crimes are more likely to be noticed. On the other hand, there is a group of people on a nearby road that have a few too many types of cars in front of their house.

[Edward]

Rumpelstiltskin has to make deals to capture people, however. His power is entirely in the contract, as I understand it.

[Edward]

Sounds like a good reason to learn how to use a shotgun. For confined areas, with potential friendlies around, twenty guage is better than a twelve, and obviously slugs are more practical than buck shots. If you want to be extra gentle, you can find rock salt and bean bag rounds for shotgun.

I think the Mayor does care for Henry, but then she cared for her father as well.

[Edward]

At least you can laugh about it. That's a very admirable quality. Hope it works out.

Maybe Rumple will; the whole plot is him tricking the Witch into casting the spell so that he can seize power somehow.

[Kymela]

To me it seems like Rumple still remembers as does the mayor....

[Stephanie]

I don't think the mayor does but it seems like Rumple definately does. I'd never actually heard of him before Once Upon A Time though.

[Edward]

Doesn't the prologue say "Only one remembers?" It would be an excellent red herring if it was Rumple and not the Witch.

[Stephanie]

Did it? Huh.

[Edward]

I haven't seen last night's episode, but I believe they were, in what I like the call the three drunk catholics episode. Actually, I think there's been a Lost reference in every episode so far: The clock stuck at 8:15, the Mayor's house number is 108 ... I'm trying to remember one not involving the numbers.

[Kymela]

Yes! Apollo bars were definitely in it.

[Caitlan]

Hey, where did Amanda disappear off to? She hasn't visited/commented in a while. Actually, a LOT of the people in the group haven't commented EVER.

[Mark]

It's raining outside.

[Caitlan]

It's raining here too.

[Mark]

Does anyone write screenplays?

[M]

Joss Whedon does. Wouldn’t it be fun to write screenplays?

[Mark]

Yeah, I liked Buffy and Angel.

[Caitlan]

XD Al, that's not good.

[Edward]

I'm looking at writing screenplays ... for a television show, though; I haven't given much thought to a movie.

[Kymela]

Mark wrote: "Yeah, I liked Buffy and Angel."

And FIREFLY!!

I've been trying a few screenplays. One for a book series I like, one for Doctor Who which can never be done now, since it had Sarah Jane, and an original. Not going so well for me. I don't know much about screenplay writing...XP
