[Part 2]
---------------------
1:56p... yeah, it is. But lately because of my screwy working schedule, I
haven't been able to sleep very late. Last night I got to sleep at 2am, but
got up at 8am this morning, just because I couldn't sleep any later... so, I
did a lot of things, and tried to go back to sleep a little while ago.
Oh. I got up at um...9 or ten I don't remember.
Sorry, I have people logging in left and right... just making sure that
there's room. :) mmm. I don't have anything to do until about 8 tonight, so
I'm just wasting the day away. :)
Ah. I see. Other people are on here too? How come they're not here?
It's only you and me in chat here. The BBS has a built-in thing to let
everyone chat together, but it's hORRIBLE. It is absolutely horrible. So,
until I get something better, I only talk 1-on-1 to people.
Oh. Okay. I understand <sort of> Oh well. There's nothing good on telivision
now so I got bored. I was reading though. Hmmmmmm
mmmmm. Yes. I was reading earlier. But I need sleep if I'm to go out tonight,
so I tried to do so... :)
What kind of books do you read?
Oh boy, Under The Bridge is on
Under The Bridge?
Yes, on 92
okee... hang on one sec while I get rid of this guy... :) okay. Daver was
talking to me over on line 2, but he left now. okay. :) 92? No, no, no.
PRO-FM?
Yes.
oh dear. We really must do something about your taste in music. :)
Why? I like it
heh. That's okay, I suppose. PRO-FM is kinda a cliche joke around here. That
and KIX-106... can't stand "pop" music. I'm more a 94-HJY, 95.5-WBRU-type
person...with some WRX thrown in for good measure...
Okay ? I don't really know what they play anyway. We caught this station on
the way up here.
ahhh. HJY plays rock, new and classic. WRX is all classic rock. BRU is
alternative, but shamefully has been heading into more "pop"ish arenas.
Actually, I listen to just about everything, except "pop", "dance", and
country music. Anything else is pretty much fair game... rock, metal,
classical, alternative, "new age", you name it, pretty much.
My brother is a country freak. Pete listens to 103 or 107 or something like
that.
:) Oh well. I suppose I can tolerate other peoples' choices in music, even if
I can't appreciate it myself. At the moment I have some wonderful Bach on...
Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor. Great stuff. I have something for every mood and
occasion.... great stuf to listen to.
Okay. I don't know what to say. Hmmmm
:) That's okay. What do you listen to, mostly, when you have the opportunity?
Um...I like um...R&B and stuff. I like some older stuff too, like Mariah Carey
and I used to like Wilson Phillips a lot but not much anymore.
mmm. I never really tried much in that arena. I'll have to pick some up next
time I'm on a music shopping spree... :)
Oh well. My tape selection is quite limited. I was never really into that
stuff when I could always just turn on the radio anyway.
Well, for me, first, I enjoy collecting music. My business partner Jim and I
have about 800 CDs between us, all sorts of things. The thing is, there is a
lot of music that I enjoy but which won't be played on the air anymore,
really, and there are a lot of artists who are known for a few good songs that
ARE played, but their other stuff never gets airplay. So, I try to pick up
something whenever I can of artists that I like...
OH yes, I see. That makes sense. Oh well. I found out Pete's handle.
...?
Starfox? Have you talked to him? He's not on much
no, not at all. Never seen him around.... weird. Hm.
Oh well. I asked him when he got home last night and that's what he told me.
:) Oh well. I'll have to chat with him sometime. No big deal. :) Oh boy...
lazy Sunday afternoon... bah. How warm is it outside?
I don't know. It's beautiful though. Tanning index of 9 they said.
yuck. I can't stand people who lay outside and bake... just not my thing. I
prefer the a/c, thanks. :)
Oh! How horrible! I'm always outside. In the garden or doing SOMETHING. I
think we're having a "Picknik" today
:) I can't stand heat or, generally the sun. My perfect day: about 65-70
degrees, strong, warm wind, blasting rain, thunder & lightning... all that. :)
Oh gee. That's horrible. Well, sorry but. You're lucky you live up here then.
It starts heating up in the end of Febuary in Georgia.
Yes, I know... I'm very happy to live in the northeast. however, here, it's
been pretty bad lately. The week before last it hit 95 here with about 90%
humidity. Even at my store with the a/c on it was nasty.... can't stand that.
I like it cool and dry. I don't really have an aversion to the sun, as such,
just bad heat... but I do very much love rain... not sure why. I suppose
it's... turmoil in nature reflecting turmoil in the soul... :) I'm just soooo
deep. :)
Yes. Very. Um... I want to go to the beach very badly. I hear they're
beautiful here. I live inland in Georgia, but on a HUGE lake system so I love
swimming and such. And boating. We used to have an old boat that Pete used a
lot. Maybe I can go today when they come back. They went to buy lawn chairs.
They'll probably get lost.
hahaha. Yeah, the beaches up here are pretty nice. I usually only go at night,
to avoid the people, sun, and heat. It a lot of fun going in the middle of the
summer at night when it's warm, but I also love going in the winter
sometimes... I guess it's my New England heritage... feeling the biting cold,
whispering waves.... brings back wonderful feelings. Part of me... really
unusual. :)
Okay. Nevermind. Hmmm...Are the beaches that far from Providence?
Well, depends. The Newport beaches are nice, but those are a long drive. There
are a few in Warwick that are pretty nice. For a decent, close beach I usually
go to Oakland Beach in Warwick. About 10 miles from where you are.
Really???? That's so close! Wow! it's not even that short a drive to Atlanta
and shopping and the movies from Oakland. How unusual. A beach named after
Oakland.
:) It's a nice place. Rhode Island is very small... you can cross it in an
hour. Works out pretty well, though. Pretty much everything you'd want is
within short driving distance.
Oh, good. I'll take advantage of that, I'm sure. Wow. Now I have that idea
stuck in my head. I'll simply have to go now.
haha. I'll probably be stopping over tonight with some friends.... haven't
been there in about 5 weeks... I miss it occasionally.
Why, where are you going tonight?
Well, I'm not quite sure yet. Probably dinner and a movie. _The Crow_ is
playing down at Apple Valley cinema in Greenville ($2.00/seat... great place)
(and an incredible movie), so I'm trying to get together some friends to go
down there, and I'll probably head down to Warwick later on if I'm still
alive. With all the sleep I'm getting today, I'll probably be wide awake.
Should be quite nice.
Sounds like fun! I haven't seen that movie yet. The last movie I saw
was...um...I don't remember. Oh yes! My brother wanted to see the pet
detective movie. That was REALLY REALLY bad.
heh. Yeah, I saw that a couple weeks ago. I thought is was amusing, but would
have been better had I seen it in a theatre full of people. As it was there
were only a few others there, so it wasn't as good as it could have been. I
think it had potential, though. Jim Carrey can be hilarious at times.
Yes, I like him very much. A good movie I saw was Philadelphia. Have you seen
it yet? I got excited because I've been there many times and the setting (in
the beginning especially> was great.
No, I haven't seen it yet. It also is playing down at Apple Valley, but I've
been... preoccupied the past few weeks, so I haven't had the chance to see it
yet.
You should! It's a movie everyone should see sometime. Have you ever seen And
The Band Played On?
Nope.
Oh. Okay then. It's better than that.
:) I know the premise of Philadelphia. Seen all the trailers and all... I
rarely see movies in the theatre. I wait for them to come out on Laserdisc so
I can get them there... I've never seen a movie more than twice at a
full-price theatre, and the only movie I've seen more than once within the
past 7 years has been _The Crow_, which I've seen 3 times full-price since it
came out. Truly exquisite.
Wow! Maybe I should see it then sometime. Yes, I cried at the end of
Philadelphia. It was sad. Oh well. What exactly is laser disc? I never
understood that concept.
It's like a big compact disc that holds pictures. ;) The quality is infinitely
superior to videotape, doesn't degrade, and usually even costs less. Very
hi-fidelity... we have about 700 movies on LD... all sorts of things. Lotsa
great stuff out there, and videotape just doesn't cut it when you want a good
movie experience. The depth just isn't there, and the quality is horrible.
Oh. What do you play it on?
A laserdisc player. :) It's a specialized thing. Most LD players can also play
CDs... good stuff. Most high-end videophiles now have them. Actually, they're
pretty cheap. Low-end LD players start around $350 nowadays... great items,
they are.
Oh...Okay. I don't know. Hm...
:) *sigh*... 2:29. Where has the day gone? I truly hate it sometimes when I
waste away a day like this without really getting anything productive done. :)
Well, at least you read.
Yes... quite a bit, actually... another of my many hobbies which I pursue
avidly... hah. Hobby, my ass. It's more of a lifestyle. I'm in the process of
opening up a bookstore in my area here. Hopefully it'll be open by Christmas
'95... moving along. I truly love books. Such a wonderful medium... I read
mostly Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Science Non-Fi with a few historical biographies thrown
in for good measure, and some other things...
Oh. I see. I just read for fun. My favorite author is V.C. Andrews
Never known V.C.Andrews.... describe to me. :)
Oh! Well, wrote Flowers in The Attic. Have you heard of that book?
no (ashamedly)...
Oh gee. Well it's about these siblings who are forced to live with their
grandmother who's really evil in this huge mansion except they can only live
in this little room then they escape to the attic and get locked up there and
one kid almost dies and they get green and sick and the older brother gets
