One of my friends has never been to an opera, and conveniently, the LA Opera is doing La bohéme right now, which is the perfect "starter" opera... So I'm taking him to the opera. That one was easy. Now I have to figure out what to get for my husband! (he doesn't like opera) Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

heh, if it takes you 2 hours to drive to El Paso from Santa Fe, your name must be Mario Andretti. See attached. I-25 runs all the way down, but El Paso is significantly farther away... SNM is open every weekend. Check out their website, too: www.skydivenm.net Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

I recently moved from New Mexico, and I highly recommend Skydive New Mexico. For one thing, it's about 3 hours closer to you than El Paso. El Paso is a nice DZ, don't get me wrong, I like it a lot. But you will never find a nicer group of people than those who jump at SNM. They jump year round, and SNM has one of the nicest 182s in the country, hands down. Just give Belen a try...

If anyone is interested in Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong, or the movie-making process in general, check this out: www.kongisking.net It's a fan site, but Peter Jackson has been doing these video production diaries exclusively for that site, and they get a new one every few days. It's really fucking cool, they talk about how things are done on the set, you get to see some of the actors at work, just generally stuff that most people don't get to see. The videos can be found under the "Kong 2005" link. It's worth a watching! I am super excited about this movie now...It looks great, and the director is one of a kind!

Wow, I'm REALLY glad I was hungover this morning and didn't feel like driving all the way out to Perris! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

bleh...oakenfold is a hack. If you want good electronic music, look for Sasha, Digweed, Hybrid, Junkie XL, the aforementioned BT, Way Out West (Intensify is an incredible album), Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg... I'm sure I'll think of more... Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Search for "BT" on iTunes. Download "Ima", "ESCM", "Movement in Still Life", and "Emotional Technology". (all albums) Errrr...if you don't like melodic trance, then maybe not, but give it a listen, anyway. one of the best alternative rock albums ever is also available, that would be "Fear" by Toad the Wet Sprocket. Here's the Amazon.com reviews for that one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000027JR/qid=1100837698/sr=8-6/ref=pd_csp_6/002-8391705-4765628?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Massive Attack. I'd heard some of their stuff a while ago, but I just downloaded the "Blue Lines" album and it is incredible. I'm rediscovering some older Portishead stuff, too. Way out West (still around, but their older stuff is amazing) I hate it when radio stations announce a "new" band that has actually been around for years, just on indie labels and the like. Modest Mouse is a good example of this. Glad to see someone else listening to They Might Be Giants...they hold several places on my iPod! Particle man, particle man, doin' the things a particle can... Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Dammit, you people! OK, maybe I should ask for useFUL trivia... Nice to see you posting, Steve! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Be careful, you just may run into Lewmonst or I as one of your AFF instructors! I guess we both owe beer, since it's our first AFF ratings! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

OK, so I'm going on Friday morning to take the test to possibly be on Jeopardy! So I need you all to post some trivia facts for me to absorb. The more obscure the better. I'm particularly weak on pop culture type things, so if you know stuff about TV shows, movies, music, etc, bring it on! Help me out!

Done! There is now only one, owned by Caseadilla. Thanks! Andi Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Note my prediction here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1049701;search_string=nfl%20draft;#1049701 Gooooo Big Ben! I can't believe I'm rooting for a rival, but Hell yeah! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

oooh, you're dead, Brutus! Somehow, someday, when you're not even aware, I'll come for you! You won't even know what hit you. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Leave me alone! I was drunk, OK? I can't be held responsible for my actions. Look at that shit-eating grin. I was that happy because everyone was touching me that night (the shirt is silk). Sorry, Ricky, you missed out. Damn, I go away for a day and all you people do is talk about me! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Yes, I think it's premature. There are over 200,000 provisional ballots left to be counted. That's more than the margin right now. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Thank god I don't have a home phone. Just my cell. The only calls I've made/received today were from my parents, my teammate, and a friend. Only one call even mentioned voting. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! Bill, please don't scare me like that! I don't need to hear stuff like that on a night like this! Amusingly enough, the song that is playing on my iTunes right now (I have it set to shuffle) is New Order's "State of the Nation" Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

It took me about 10 minutes, since I voted absentee a month ago. Enough time to fill out the ballot, stick it in the envelope, and drop it in the mailbox. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

No, not because it will all be over, and not because I'm cheering on one candidate over another. I've been all over the internet today. I am a member of a bunch of forums that cover various interests from skydiving to video games to politics to just general chat, and they ALL are talking about the election. There are links to news sites, poll sites, blogs, rhetoric, etc everywhere. People are all engaged and learning and involved today. I know some of the information is probably pure BS, but when I go on a forum that's dedicated to a certain video game I play and 90% of the new threads are about the election, it makes me smile. These are not people who are typical voters. They are young. They are VOTING! (OK, some are too young to vote...) They care. It's the most amazing thing. I feel like even though we're divided politically, we're all participating in the process today. We're all together in this, no matter what your beliefs. Even if it's only for one day, it still makes me smile. I feel some solidarity today. That's why I love election day. Go vote, and be proud that you're able to do so.

Excellent, Bill. So who, then, tuna, does Osama really want to win the election? LOL Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of people in this country who would never understand the point of the story... Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Val, it was so great to finally meet you and Renee! I loved your macaroni dress, by the way. Hope to see you both out Perris way again soon! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

I will be there on Sunday (finally) doing the coach course. But I'll probably have time to at least say hi!

Stop! You had me at "when dicks fuck assholes". Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!
