Good Thursday Morning, Everyone!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to the Early Morning Crew for this Thursday! I hope you're doing good today. Only two days remain in this work week and then the weekend will be upon us! If you don't have any plans yet for Saturday, let me give you one suggestion: Go see "Brokeback Mountain" if you haven't already. I saw it yesterday and was blown away! I wrote my opinions of it here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4610351&mesg_id=4610351

Anything exciting or funny been happening overnight that I need to know about?

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Don't miss the Hamster/snake threads! They're all the rage right now!

That said, good morning Clintmax! I can't wait to see Brokeback. The short story in itself had me sobbing.

Hope you have a wonderful day! :hi:

[Clintmax]

3. Morning, MrsG!

:hi:
I'll go check out the Hamster/Snake discussions, thank you! I've never read the short story, but I think I'm going to have to now.

You have a wonderful day too, my dear!

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Here is a link for the story...

It's not in the New Yorker archives anymore so I had to go on a search...

[Clintmax]

20. Wow! Thank you, MrsG!

:bounce:
I didn't know it was available online like that!

[tjwmason]

2. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Charming to see you today.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

4. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
It's always good to see you here too! Are you having a good day at work today?

[tjwmason]

6. Work isn't bad at all

though I'm not really get much of it done - I'm practically asleep at the moment....

Hopefully the tea sitting here will buck me up somewhat.

[Clintmax]

14. Awww...you poor thing...nearly asleep at your desk.

:hug::hug::hug:

[tjwmason]

15. That's helping me.

In fact any attention from you helps me (and "helps" me too :evilgrin: ).

It's my own fault, I didn't get to bed until late last night so I don't really deserve sympathy.

[Clintmax]

17. I'm glad I can help!

:evilgrin:
What kept you up so late?

[tjwmason]

18. Playing with Mildred.

I finally managed to get the wireless network thing working, and so had to give her a spin round the internets - which went on far longer than it should have.

[Clintmax]

19. Ah, yes...

New toys can easily keep us up longer than we should be. It happens to the best of us, my friend. Did everything check out OK in the end?

[tjwmason]

21. Yes......eventually.

The whole thing could have been sorted in about quarter of an hour if everybody knew what was going on - but it actually took three web-chats with technicians, a trip to the shop where it was bought, and a telephone call; spread over two evenings.......technology wonderful once it works, and when it works.

[Clintmax]

22. That's good.

When I first connected my router, I had to call the manufacturer as well to help me get it correct. They did in just a few minutes, and we've been up and running ever since! Sometimes, it just takes a little work to get things going properly. You should really enjoy it henceforth!

[tjwmason]

24. It was very good last night.

:bounce: Hence my lateness to bed.

I take it that you enjoyed Brokeback Mountain.

[Clintmax]

26. Immensely!

If you haven't yet, read through my review post. There are no spoilers in it, so no fears that I've divulged information to ruin it for you.

[tjwmason]

28. Very good review.

I'm hoping to see it tomorrow - see what happens there.

Thankfully most of its media coverage over here has avoided the whole "gay-shepherd" fuss, and looked at it as a film in and of itself.

[Clintmax]

31. Thank you, TJ.

Once you DO see it, get with me and let me know what YOU thought. I'll be very interested to hear.

[tjwmason]

39. I certainly will.

:pals:

[Clintmax]

43. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I!

:pals:

[tjwmason]

81. As do I

from what I've seen of the actors I'm sure that there will be plenty of keep me distracted :evilgrin:

For now I've got a counter-tenor singing sweetly in my ear - one of the most gorgeous sounds known to man or so I think but many others dislike it as it's not really natural.

[NMMNG]

5. Good morning Clint!

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. Now I want even more to see it, and hope I can do so next week.

[Clintmax]

10. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
I hope you can go next week also! Once you do, we can discuss it a little more in depth! :bounce: I'll go welcome Miss Susie now!...

[MissHoneychurch]

8. morning Clintmax

I wil have to wait till March to see the movie, only then it will come to German theaters.

[Clintmax]

11. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
I'm sorry you have to wait so long! I think you'll absolutely LOVE it! How are you today? Work going good?

[MissHoneychurch]

13. I am doing fine

work is going good too.

Now my stomach is grumbling .... lunch time :)

[Clintmax]

16. Ah...Time for lunch!

I'm glad work is going fine. I have to work today, but I'm off tomorrow again! :woohoo: That just means that I have to work both weekend days though. x(

[MissHoneychurch]

23. poor you

working on both weekend days. That really sucks.

But you can enjoy your day off tomorrow even more :)

[Clintmax]

25. Yes, I can!

I have the next weekend off too! Both days, so I can plan something fun for NEXT weekend! Do you have any plans?

[MissHoneychurch]

27. no plans so far this weekend

for next weekend neither, but that is still some time ahead.

[Clintmax]

29. I'm not sure how much I'll be around DU this weekend...

only because I have to work so much. Then again, I may be here as usual. I don't see as many people in here in the early mornings on Saturday and Sunday.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. I normally don't post on weekends

even when home. I sleep in and have other things to do. I am online, no question but I do more lurking than anything else.

[Clintmax]

33. I think that's true for a lot of people.

I've lurked around a lot on weekends too. Now that I think about it...the weekend people need the Early Morning Crew also, so I'll probably post.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. you are really considerately

youa re just too sweet for words :hug:

[Clintmax]

38. *smile* That's just me.

You're a sweetheart too! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

41. That is why we like each other so much

:hug:

[Clintmax]

45. Boy, that's true!

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

46. boy???

last time I checked I was still a girl (j/k) :)

[Clintmax]

50. *smile* It's a figure of speech...

And a very pretty girl you are, my dear! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. I know it is

I just felt like teasing you.
I almost asked if it is a special honor when you call me boy :hide:


and thanks for your compliment. You aer one sexy guy yourself.

[Clintmax]

63. Teasing is fun!

:bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

71. it is

I love it. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

75. Me too!

I'm off to go get ready for work now, Miss Honey! I'm sure I'll talk to you later! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

80. ok, you have a good day at work

I feel like going home, but I guess I will keep working.

:hug:

[jpgray]

9. I shouldn't have to experience two 4:30s in one day

x(

[Clintmax]

12. Hello, JP!

:hi:
Sometimes it happens. You just wake up for no reason and it's early as fuck! :rofl: You came to the right place though! Welcome to the Early Morning Crew!

[newyawker99]

32. Good morning everyone!

:donut: :hi:

[Clintmax]

34. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
I hope your week is going splendidly!

[newyawker99]

87. Yes it is and I hope yours is going well too.

:hi:

[Mutley]

36. Clint!!

Mornin'! :hug:

I didn't get to see Brokeback Mountain yesterday. :cry: But the SO said he'd see it with my on Saturday.

[Clintmax]

37. Morning, Miss Mutley!

:hug:
Good to see you today! I saw your response to my review thread. I'm glad you're going to get to see it with your SO! I hope he doesn't mind seeing two Dudes kissing...there's a lot of that. You are going to freakin LOVE it!

[Mutley]

40. Nah, he doesn't care.

And if he does, he'll get over it. He's more concerned about the love story part of it. :P

I can't wait! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

42. I can't wait for you to see it!

That way, we two can discuss it a little more in depth! :bounce::bounce:

[Mutley]

48. I know.

Plus, I haven't been to a movie in a theater in... I don't even remember how long. We'll have to discuss in PM so we don't give anything away. Either that or start a thread with major spoiler warnings. :D

[Clintmax]

51. No doubt!

I was thinking PM's also. Maybe a thread with spoiler warnings would be OK too. :shrug: Either way, I'm looking forward to talking with you about it! :bounce:

[Mutley]

57. Maybe a thread with warnings so others who've seen it can

discuss, too. Unless you want a private discussion. :P

[Clintmax]

64. No, not necessarily.

It would be cool with me if we had lots of people.

[Mutley]

70. Excellent!

I think I had too much coffee this morning. :D

[Clintmax]

73. Not me..

I drink coffee all day long. It IS time for me to go get ready for work though. x(

[Mutley]

76. Well, I'll miss you.

I'll see ya tomorrow. :loveya:

[Clintmax]

78. Yes, you will!

Same time, same place! :loveya:

[Mutley]

83. As always.

:D

[Mutley]

49. Dupe!

D'OH!

[Clintmax]

52. Don't you hate it when that happens?

x(

[Mutley]

59. I do.

I know it'll happen, but I click submit again, anyway.

[Clintmax]

61. Me too.

I always think it's my wireless router or my cable modem.

[billyskank]

53. Hey mutleyface!

:hug:

[Mutley]

56. billy!!!

:hug:

How've you been? It's good to see you again.

[billyskank]

60. I've been okay

thanks! I am very happy to see you, too. As always! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

65. Self Delete

That response wasn't for me...sorry.

[billyskank]

67. No I haven't seen it

I think you answered the wrong thread! :rofl: :D :pals:

[Mutley]

68. Welcome back to the Lounge, sir.

:loveya:

[billyskank]

85. Thank you!

:hi:

[Callalily]

44. Morning Clint

Thanks for the synopsis of Brokeback. It won't be here this weekend, so we're all hoping for next weekend. Now I'm even more anxious to see it. Glad to hear that you liked it.
Going out with friends after work today. I think I need a little socializing. After all, can't work all the time now can we!

[Clintmax]

47. Morning, Miss Simply!

You're welcome! Once you get to see it, we'll discuss it a little more in-depth. I think you'll LOVE it! :bounce:

No, we can't work ALL the time. Can you say "burn-out". :rofl:

[billyskank]

55. Afternoon Clint

Almost time for lunch. I'm hank marvin. :9

:hi:

[Clintmax]

58. Hail, Billy!

:hi:
Who's Hank Marvin? :shrug: I'm all adrift now. :rofl:

[billyskank]

62. He was one of the Shadows

as in, "Cliff Richard and The..." But his name is also rhyming slang for very hungry indeed. :D

[Clintmax]

69. Ah ok...

*smacks forehead*

[tjwmason]

74. Good afternoon billy.

:hi:

Missing you now that you're not around at work - bloody employers wanting folk to work rather than chat on-line. :evilfrown:

Anything yummy for lunch?

[billyskank]

84. Hi mason!

It's so uncivilised, restricting my freedom to spod! If I were in a union there'd be hell to pay, no doubt. :D

I am having pasta, reheated after being left over from last night. It is in the microwave right now. It is indeed most yummy. :)

:hi:

[tjwmason]

86. Reheated pasta can be very good.

At some point soon I'm going to place my soup in the microwave (home-made obviously). I've had some brie nicely warming on my desk all morning, and some salad (how hideously healthy).

Good to see that you're well and jolly.

[Scooter24]

66. Gooooooooood Morning!

:hug:

Ok...so I promise to try and be good this morning O8)

Glad to hear you enjoyed Brokeback Mountain. I enjoyed it myself as well. Today is going to be a busy day for me and I really don't want to leave the house, but damn it, the outfit I picked to wear today is so remarkably cute. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

72. Hail, Scooter!

:hi::hug:
Remarkably cute outfits can NOT be kept to oneself, so you get out there and let everyone see you! I wish I could!

I freakin LOVED Brokeback! As evidenced in my review thread.

[Scooter24]

79. :D

I think we might go and see it again this weekend if we have time.

I'll hope to have some pictures for you in the morning. :)

So other than work, anything else you plan on doing?

[Clintmax]

77. I'm off to go get ready for work now!

Dammit, I wish I could stay around for a while longer today! x( Work sucks. :rofl:
:hi:

[Scooter24]

82. Have a great day!

c-ya tomorrow or later tonight :)
