ahrtee January 23, 2019 Share January 23, 2019 From "The Best Ever Book of Dog & Cat Names": How about Pushinka? Russian, meaning "fluffy." Puppy given to Jackie Kennedy by Kruschchev, born to one of the first two dogs to survive space travel (on Sputnik). Or Bobby--supposedly for Greyfriar's Bobby, but Original Bobby was certainly fuzzy, and kind of cuddly. :) I once had a cat who chose her own name. She was curled up on my lap, purring, while I called out every name I could think of, and she didn't even twitch. Since I was watching ST: TNG, I started calling out the names of all the characters on the show, and when I said "Tasha" she sat up, looked me in the eye and chirped. 2 Link to comment

I had a sweet, sweet, fluffy cuddly kitty - who grew up to be the sweetest cat, too - and so having grown up watching Buggy Bunny as a kid, I of course named him George. (Because "... and I will hold him and squeeze him and pet him and I will call him George.") Weirdly, the name also fit. His "sister's" name was Chobee (my hubby named her after Lake Okeechobee). @ahrtee, that is a cool story about your cat picking her own name. My George also used to chirp. He chirped at birds, spiders and other bugs, and my pet toads. George loved spiders. And silverfish. He could watch them for hours. (Maybe he picked up his love of bugs from me? ...not Chobee though. Heh, she'd come over and whack them, and poor George's ears would droop and his face would fall all crushed as he looked at the poor, dead critter on the floor. Moths and beetles were for eating though. George was particular about his bug "friends.") 2 Link to comment

Henry keeps coming to mind as well. Henry might be fitting - sort of. We named our German Shepherd, Shawn, after Shawn Spencer on the TV show Psych.

Somewhat bitchy, but not jerky, and not about the show... 30 minutes ago, Aeryn13 said: For me there is a big distinction between reality and fiction in that regard. In the real world, murderers, rapists etc are undoubtedly worse, no contest. But in fictional stories cowards and weakling are the worst or at least second-worst to me, only behind Mary Sues. They hold no enjoyment factor to me when consuming a story which defeats the entire point of entertainment. Ahh, okay... got it. Though even then, I can still say weak characters wouldn't be the worst for me... For me the worst is the character who is always right no matter the circumstances. It's why I got no enjoyment out of House the few times I tried to watch it. Or the character who always wins - which is why I got no enjoyment out of the Road Runner cartoons either. I guess I was warped from an early age, since one of my favorite of the Looney Tunes characters - Daffy Duck - was famous for saying "I may be a coward, but I'm a greeeeedy little coward." And though generally a trope, I do sometimes find the meek / weak/ cowardly character who finally stands up to be moderately entertaining... more so than the above characters that I mentioned anyway. For the most part I like complex characters, and if a complex character is weak but has other interesting attributes, points of view, etc. then I'll likely find them more interesting than a one-dimensional hero. Being more complex is why I find Batman more interesting than Superman. But I can also see your point in a way. If weakness and/or cowardliness is the only and/or predominant characteristic, especially in a main character or protagonist, I wouldn't find that too entertaining either... For example, being that you don't enjoy characters who are weak - and I'm likely gonna get rocks thrown at me for this one - did you hate the book 1984 as much as I did? I was pretty much thinking "why do I even care about these people?" and "what is the point of all of this?" for most of the book. (I hate large ambiguities in my fiction also - I want to know WHY people / characters / organizations are doing the things they do and it better make some kind of sense, too.) Death of a Salesman, too - ugh. I would have put both of those pieces of fiction down way before the end if I hadn't had to read them for high school, because if they weren't going to stand up for themselves and/or were going to just accept being wimpy, why should I care what happens to them? And yes, I know... I'm missing the point of 1984. Doesn't make it any more entertaining or less annoying for me. Link to comment

And yes, I know... I'm missing the point of 1984. Doesn't make it any more entertaining or less annoying for me. I guess for me it`s because I`m not interested in relating characters to my own personal life but at least when it comes to protagonists, I`d like to be inspired by them, maybe admire them, look up to them while keeping them real. This is impossible with Mary Sues as well as cowards so watching those just annoys me. At least in drama, comedy is more flexible. As for 1984, totally not my cup of tea, no. I get what the point of it was but I`m very particular about my dystopian future stories and this one just doesn`t do it for me at all. I`m just annoyed with everyone and everything. When it comes to Orwell, I`m "Animal Farm" all the way. The message is equally on the nose but I find it way more entertainingly presented. You can put philosophical themes in stories, no problem, but if I consume them as stories, I still want my entertainment value to go with it. Otherwise, I can attend a lecture or a debate or read a technical manual. 1 Link to comment

Heh... that described my feelings towards what happened in the book almost the entire time I was reading it, too. And then I had to write some kind of assignment about the book where I somehow didn't make it sound like that's how I felt about it. (Not sure how I pulled that off, myself, and don't remember either.) I agree with everything else you said there also, especially about wanting entertainment value to go along with the message. As for that English class, the highlight of the assignments that year - which also included the previously mentioned "Death of a Salesman" and Albert Camus' The Stranger - was an assignment where we chose a song which had some Existential themes and analyzed it. I wrote a multi-page analysis of "The Sound of Silence" that I got an "A" on and the teacher kept my assignment. Although Othello wasn't too bad either - better than the rest of the reading material for me anyway. 9 hours ago, Commando Cody said: He is starting to answer to "Puppy". Uh oh.

And nothing has insulation especially an old building like mine. Brrrrrrrrrr. This is a tough call, because I've lived in both... and both are crappy in their own way. ; ) I grew up in Massachusetts and winters were generally grey and damp along with the cold and snow. Sometimes the sun would be gone for weeks at a time, and it was already dark enough as it was (in winter, the sun sets before 4 PM)... But then I lived in centralish Indiana for 5 years (West Lafayette) and between the cold and the wind, that was a new level of cold. People didn't generally walk through the parking lots to get into the stores... they ran. And one afternoon as I was walking down the street between two 5 foot piles of snow to get to the Walmart a mile away to get some milk and bread (any hint of snow, and people bought everything - like 8 jugs of milk at a time - so there were often shortages) with the cold wind blowing in my face so that despite a scarf wrapped around most of my face, my snot still froze,*** all I could think of was "what in the hell am I doing here?" I decided then that maybe that was the coldest that I'd ever been. I'd never seen snow drifts like that before, because in New England snow was always soft and wet and stayed pretty much where it fell. Indiana snow was often dry, fine, and looked like those idealized snowflake representations. If someone parked their car in the wrong spot and the wind blew right, it could be buried in a 15 foot tall or higher snowdrift. It's no picnic now here in Georgia though - about 36 degrees and raining with wind, and likely to rain all week. I want to plant my veggie garden seeds. I dug the beds, but then it rained the next day (Sunday), we got one good day (Monday of which I could not take advantage) and it's been raining ever since. It's been a weird winter here. One warm day - like 70- 80 degrees (sometimes with sun, sometimes not) - then it gets really cloudy and/or rains for like 5 - 6 days, getting cold, sometimes freezing at night, repeat. It's been doing that for like a month or more now. ***Wind chills were later reported on the news that night to be around minus 35 - 40 degrees. 4 hours ago, gonzosgirrl said: I'm going to sound like my old grandma here, but jeez, I literally cannot remember having a snow day when I was a kid - no buses canceled, no schools closed.

AwesomO4000 March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 Oh, man, really? I just found out that Project Runway is returning this Thursday at 8... Why are they doing that to me? Because yes, I am one of those weird people for whom those genres do intersect. It's likely one of the only other long-running shows that I obsess over. I'll have to look and see if they repeat Project Runway later in the night... Crap it's hard to tell. Yes! they do repeat from 11:30 to 1 AM. I can do that. Season 17 - who knew that show would last that long, though I was hooked from the very first episode. Season 1 was awesome with Wendy Pepper being one of the best reality show self-appointed villainesses (oh come on, that must be a word) ever. It wasn't as good after those first 6 or 7 seasons or so, but there were a few good seasons after - and some really bad ones too (hmmm, why does that sound familiar?). I just can't seem to stop watching it though... In short, Project Runway is coming back ...and back to Bravo, too! I might be over here at a table for one, but I can't wait! Because as "It's A Terrible Life" Dean says: "All I wanna know is when are they gonna have another show like Project Runway? Man!" Link to comment
S Cook Productions March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 Here’s a bit of small but expensive talk. Disney is raising their price to $159 a day. Soon, a Supernatural con ticket will be cheaper than Disney lol. Link to comment
rue721 March 14, 2019 Share March 14, 2019 Speaking of theme parks -- is anyone watching Deadly Class? I'm trying to watch the pilot right now. I cannot with the school being called Kings Dominion. I mean, maybe it's a joke, but so far, the show is taking itself EXTREMELY seriously, so I feel like it's maybe just a goofy coincidence. Either way, makes me laugh. 1 Link to comment
Commando Cody April 3, 2019 Share April 3, 2019 I watched the TV series 'Chuck' , several years ago on Netflix. I found it again on Amazon Prime recently. I decided to watch the series again. I remember very little of it. Little bits and pieces. However, it is very close to watching the series for the first time. 2 Link to comment

I'm glad they get an ending though. Link to comment

FlickChick April 15, 2019 Share April 15, 2019 I read that they were able to save the art works and other precious items from the cathedral. Such a tragedy - a 12th century building that survived the French Revolution, is now probably completely lost. 2 Link to comment
