These parties are like the Energizer bunny...

[Liz]

Wow. You must be ina good mood tonight, because you're really pouring on the compliments

Meh, I was in a good mood. Now I'm just "blah". That's an emotion, right? Actually....it's a lack of emotion.

Haven't actually watched it in a while. It's one of those few shows that makes me laugh really hard, even when there's no one else in the room

Still on if ya wanna catch it. I honestly think it's the funniest show on TV.

*small sigh of relief*

*smirks*

?! And you called me mean

*looks innocent*

HAZEL: *looks up from her book and glares* Excuse me, Tides. Need I even start to remind you of your first mission?
TIDES: .........
EMBER: *smirks*
HAZEL: *small, victorious smile* Good *goes back to reading*

LOL Go Hazel

MORI: Lighten up. It's how she gets attention from you
TIDES: Come again?

XDD

EMBER: Don't worry, Mori. Not all men are this thick

Yea, just a vast majority of them.

*stop playing* Ok, I'm bored with the piano now. *is still sitting on the piano bench, but turns & faces the other way & looks around, bored*

[EbonyStar]

Meh, I was in a good mood. Now I'm just "blah". That's an emotion, right? Actually....it's a lack of emotion.

I think it can be either

Still on if ya wanna catch it. I honestly think it's the funniest show on TV.

Gets me laughing every single time. I still love the one where Colin keeps saying "TAPIOOOOOOOKA" and Ryan honestly couldn't get his laughter under control

LOL Go Hazel

*looks up from her book again and smiles* Glad to see I'm appreciated somewhere
MORI: Aw, we appreciate you, Hazel. Every team needs a good leader
TIDES: *grits teeth*
MORI: .......I still don't see why we can't have two
EMBER: Because those two would be Hazel and Tides, and if they were both leaders, nothing would ever get done

Yea, just a vast majority of them.

EMBER: *rolls eyes* Pretty much
MORI: *shakes head* You're strange
EMBER: I'm smart. Even I can't put up with men sometimes. They don't get anything
MORI: You just can't put up with people in general
EMBER: Very true
MORI: Horribly untrue
EMBER: Not quite

*stop playing* Ok, I'm bored with the piano now. *is still sitting on the piano bench, but turns & faces the other way & looks around, bored*

EMBER: *notices Liz stopped playing. sits up ad nods once at the piano* You finished with that?

[Emily]

OH MY GOSH. I'm in an awesome mood. I saw The Producers tonight and now I really want to own it on DVD.

Anyways, I should probably write a brief review (I promised Squish)... before I forget and have the cats claw me to death.
*looks over at the cats - Misto, Tugger, Victoria, ect all of which are glaring at me*

Okay...
So....
There are movies that are funny, and then there are those who leave you in a good mood after you're done watching them.
The Producers is both. Taken from the 1968 film (starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder), The Producers found its way unto the stage in 2001. Four years later, it managed to find its way once more unto the screen - this time with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.

Lane plays Max Bialystock, a down on his luck Broadway producer who is in dire need of a hit... or this case, a flop. Along comes Leo Bloom (Broderick), a mild mannered accountant who can't stand people touching his blue blankie. When Bloom is checking over Bialystock's books and makes a realization that "A producer could make more money with a flop than with a hit", a scheme takes place and from this point onward, the two decide to make it their personal goal to find "the worst play ever written."

Seeing that The Producers was originally a film, it slips easily onto the screen once more. Instead of the zany couple that is Mostel and Wilder, Broderick and Lane take over the roles respectively. I personally loved it when Leo went crazy over his blanket - "WET. I'M WET....AND I'M HYSTERICAL!" Nathan Lane is very good as Max, and he and Broderick are at best, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You can have one or the other, but they're terrific when together. The songs that best show off their ranges are "Til Him" (a sentimental tune sung first by Leo, who comes back to save his pal from jail), "We Can Do It" (the first number with Max and Leo) and "I Wanna Be A Producer" (a fun number performed by Leo and his girls wearing nothing but pearls).

To say it is better than the original wouldn't be fair. But to say it is as funny, if not funnier, is totally true. The jokes and humor hold up... and Mel Brooks' wacky "comedy musical" is brought to life once more.


*phew*
I'm so excited...I can't sit down...cause Springtime For Hitler has come to town! No really... I'm so excited. Where's Leo? I gotta give him a hug. Or something.

[Liz]

Gets me laughing every single time. I still love the one where Colin keeps saying "TAPIOOOOOOOKA" and Ryan honestly couldn't get his laughter under control

Anytime Colin makes Ryan laugh uncontrollably is awesomeness.

MORI: .......I still don't see why we can't have two

I know. Seriously...

MORI: *shakes head* You're strange

*looks up* Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm just used to people saying that to me. ^^;

EMBER: I'm smart. Even I can't put up with men sometimes. They don't get anything

*laughs a little at the irony of him saying that*

MORI: You just can't put up with people in general
EMBER: Very true

*says "very true" in unison w/ Ember*

EMBER: *notices Liz stopped playing. sits up ad nods once at the piano* You finished with that?

*nods & stands up* I gotta go anyway. Past midnight & my mom's makin' me leave. Whoa...."my mom's making me..." There's some alliteration for ya. (le sigh) I don't wanna leave just yet. Alas, I must. But I should be here between 1:00 & 4:15 tomorrow. Somewhere in that area. *looks over at Ember* Just to give you a fair warning of my approach. Okey-dokey, night all. *walks out the door rather slowly*

[EbonyStar]

=) Mega awesomeness, Gen *still hasn't seen The Producers*

Whoa, I just made a Rae face. Odd.

Anytime Colin makes Ryan laugh uncontrollably is awesomeness.

It rocked. It's not often that Ryan can't stop laughing in the middle of a skit. He could hardly even talk

I know. Seriously...

MORI: Sweet, I have a second vote! Tides and Hazel for presidents
EMBER: You need a life, kid
MORI: I know. I've needed one for years. But this oughta make you feel special: I hang out with you instead
HAZEL: *laughs* Well said, Mori
MORI: *bows*

*looks up* Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm just used to people saying that to me. ^^;

ME: Heh, same here

*laughs a little at the irony of him saying that*

EMBER: *shrugs* It's true. And I'm not saying all men are like that. I always end up being the exception to the rule
ME: Yet another trait we share. We could be siblings, y'know
EMBER: .......no
ME: Yeah, we could
EMBER: Our hair is completely different, and our faces don't look alike at all. Plus, your eyes are blue and mine are silver
ME: .......not possible, huh?
EMBER: *shakes head* Thank God. You play the annoying little sister part well enough on your own
ME: *is complimented by that* Only when I want to

*says "very true" in unison w/ Ember*

EMBER: *shakes head* And that's exactly why
MORI: Aw, that was a burn
EMBER: .....why'd you say "aw/"
MORI: Cause I don't think it should've been a burn moment

I don't wanna leave just yet. Alas, I must. But I should be here between 1:00 & 4:15 tomorrow. Somewhere in that area. *looks over at Ember* Just to give you a fair warning of my approach. Okey-dokey, night all. *walks out the door rather slowly*

EMBER: *waves like Zack at the end of Advent Children, which is basically a slow, kinda lazy lifting and dropping of the hand. but it's cool anyway*
MORI: Piano time?
EMBER: I'm kinda tired, actually.......
MORI: *puppy dog eyes*
EMBER: .............one song. That's it
MORI: ^.^
EMBER: *gets up and sits at piano. starts playing.......something*

HAZEL: *tucks book loosely in sash and gets up to get water or something. walks across room and accidentally bumps into Carrion* !! Whoops. Sorry
CARRION: Good
HAZEL: *eyes flash* Come to think of it, I'm not. My mistake
CARRION: Your mistake? *smirks* Doubtless
HAZEL: You know, I think that apology you're trying to spit out is getting stuck behind that grotesque aquarium of a collar. Would you like to try again?
CARRION: Fine. My apologies. I recall being told to show respect to my elders
HAZEL: *rolls eyes* You aren't the first to make that mistake. Though you have been the most obnoxious about it. So my hair's naturally grey. At least I'm young enough that I still have it
CARRION: *raises eyebrows* And I suppose the reason you're wearing a mask isn't to hide.....signs of aging
HAZEL: *sarcastically* Yeah, and the great glass funnel wrapped around your head doesn't make you look gaunt at all
CARRION: Instead of respect for your elders, how about respect for your superiors?
HAZEL: Sounds great. I'll let you know when I meet them *continues walking*
CARRION: *glares and goes back to his corner. nightmares move agitatedly*
TIDES: *watches carefully until Hazel walks away. relaxes a little when she does and goes back to fiddling around with his gun*
EMBER: .......wow.
MORI: That was kinda tense
EMBER: *yawns* I was hoping for some kind of action or chaos to break out. That would've been fun
MORI: Hazel would win. No doubt
EMBER: I'd place my money on Carrion, actually
MORI: are you insane? Hazel's got so much focus and determination
EMBER: Carrion has power, and he knows what he's doing with it
MORI: Hazel has way more tricks up her sleeve
EMBER: Carrion knows how to get inside his opponent's mind
MORI: So does Hazel. You think she studies illusionism and stuff like that for nothing?
EMBER: *shrugs* Hopefully we won't have to find out who'd win
MORI: Yeah, that's true *pulls out a bag of candy and starts to eat it*
EMBER: *reaches over for some*
MORI: *waves his hand away and keeps eating*
EMBER: ........*suddenly grabs her shoulder and points across the room* Look!
MORI: *looks quickly*
EMBER: A distraction! *grabs bag and runs*
MORI: !! Give it back! *starts chasing him*
EMBER: *laughing and jumping over a few obstacles such as chairs* Not a chance
TIDES: *shakes head* And this.......is my team

(bleh. Randomness, don't even ask. I think I'm gonna go now. No, I know I am. My dad wants me to come upstairs, and It's pretty darn late. see you all tomorrow. Bye!)

[sojuske]

*enters and heads towards Danny's table and sits down*
Me: Getting to be long periods of time without talking to you.
Danny: Ah, hello.
Me: Yah, hi. Sorry, that just bothers me...
Danny: Why? *starts packing his things*
Me: Hey, where are you going? It's only 9 o'clock.
Danny: But how do you know it's the same time where I am?
Me: You live at most 6 hours away south, same timezone, of course I know.
Danny: Other than that fact. How do you know I'm not visiting Tim?
Me: True, I don't, but it doesn't matter, you stay up late.
Danny: *rolls eyes and gets ready to leave. She sighs*Why don't you talk to RImmer?
Me: I could, it would be nice to talk to him, but I also want to talk to others.
Danny: Why do you want to bring in this time?
Me: Well, RImmer in the corner but also *mutters* House.
Danny: I'm sure I've heard of that show before....
Me: Well, the main character is really cool... abrasive, but cool.
Danny: *shrugs* Why not bring him in for the night then. You get a night off from Rimmer if you wish.
Me: But Rimmer is great to talk to. *sighs* Ok, I guess I'll bring House in for a few and let you go to Oliver and Bridget.
Danny: *smiles* Well at this time of night it would be more Bridget than Oliver but thanks. *goes and heads out the door while it opens up and a figure hobbles carefully down the stairs. She goes and sees who the incoming person is*
House: Wilson told me this was a new horse track... Seems he got the addresses wrong.
Me: *goes to House with his cane and looks him up and down*
House: *looks at her and walk/limps to a table and chair* What are you staring at?
Me: You.
House: Never seen a man with a cane before? *he uses it to pull out another chair and swings his legs up on it to get comfortable and starts twirling his cane around*
Me: No, just never thought I'd see House in person.
House: Are you a patient? *she shakes her head no* Well then... that could be a good thing.
Me: Anyways, Dr. House... this isn't a horse track area or betting parlor.
House: Really?I wouldn't have noticed with the stage in the center and lack of people and betting booths, are you entirely sure about that? */sarcasm*
Me: In fact you are at the moment in the land of the dead, their main pub.
House: *puts his cane down on the table and reaches into his coat* Would explain the skeletons talking in the corner. *takes out a pill bottle and shakes it* Would expect that if what Wilson believes was true, I would be in my original condition, or at least the damn pain would stop. *opens it and pops two white pills in his mouth and swallows it dry*
Me: Well... it doesn't work like that. See, you are from another universe you could say, another story and we are just using this place to interact with you.
House: In other words, I'm not dead, I don't exist, and so you can do whatever you wish to me in this run down wannabe of a bar and my leg -still- doesn't work.
Me: Well... that's the gist of it yes.
House: Well, now isn't that hunky dory. A more painful alternative to Cuddy's clinic time.
Me: How more painful?
House: Normally I can avoid the people I do no wish to speak to. Unless I'm cornered in a room with them.
Me: Ok, difference here. You can play your gameboy, you can listen to your ipod, there is also a tv over there playing whatever you wish. You don't have to listen to people or see what's wrong with them if they oh, circumsized themselves with boxcutters.
House: *raises an eyebrow* General Hospital is on the TV?
Me: As is Blackadder and that Yankee show with the carpentry that I used to watch when I was younger, and he has never gotten hurt yet.
House: Ah, but you see, it could always happen. Stranger things do. *he picks up his cane and swings his legs down onto the floor* More pertinent question.
Me: What?
House: As I may be stuck here for who knows how long, there must be a Vicodin deposit somewhere.
Me: Maybe there is maybe their isn't. Maybe I brought you hear to detox you.
House: Maybe you don't wish for your shins to be broken in the next two days.
Me: Maybe I can make you do clinic time down here.
House: It's the land of the dead, most of their problems would not be my concern any longer.
Me: Touche. *looks at him for a moment* Why did you put your feet off the chair.
House: Walking requires the use of both legs, I'm sorry if I didn't levitate to help your fancy.
Me: Have fun walking... wherever?
House: Well. Seeing as there is a comfortable couch, and seeing that I'm already on the way to moving, I don't know, where might I be going?
Me: Don't need to be so sarcastic.
House: *gets up and looks at her and hobbles to the couch plopping himself down. She followed him* Why, may I ask, are you following me?
Me: To make sure you don't fall on the way over?
House: Thanks, but you see, I have something called a cane that prevents me from doing so. SO you can skedaddle along wherever you want. I don't know, pretend to be me.
Me: They would obviously know I wasn't y ou.
House: Of course they would, as I knew you would point that out.
Me: *sits down* May I ask you a personal question?
House: Does it matter? I won't answer.
Me: Fine, just to think about though, would you rather have died than lived like this? A brilliant man dead with two legs, versus an acerbic doctor, just as brilliant, haunted with pain, an unusable right leg missing half of the thigh, a cane, and an addiction to vicodin... Or would you rather have a prosthetic without the cane, the pain and addiction...
House: *looks at her steadily* I'm not addicted to my painkillers. I would know.
Me: Skirting it, but ok. And you are too.
House: *rolls his eyes and takes out his nintendo ds and starts playing.
Me: *looks over* What are you playing.
House: Metroid prime. Trying to get past the alien dudes on this level.
Me: Aren't you tired?
House: *looks at her* no. *continues to play.
Me: Well I am. Glad you stopped by.
House: If stopped means forced and glad means I would have preferred to sit at home trying to walk across the room and falling down with my atrophied leg, then yes, I agree with you.
Me: Hey, I don't go all ethical on you...
House: At least not as much as Cameron and for that God thanks you.
Me: *sticks out tongue at him and he ignores it to keep playing his video game and she leaves the pub*

((And because I like House, this is his sarcasm kindof..

[Liz]

Hi Sharon! Can't stay very long. Just lemme get some quoting out of the way.

It's not often that Ryan can't stop laughing in the middle of a skit. He could hardly even talk

That actually happens more often than you think. Like that one Improbable Mission where Colin kept going "the cat!" And Colin's often caused them all to break down laughing during Irish Drinking Song.

EMBER: You need a life, kid
MORI: I know. I've needed one for years. But this oughta make you feel special: I hang out with you instead

Burn

EMBER: *shrugs* It's true. And I'm not saying all men are like that. I always end up being the exception to the rule

*coughnotcough*

ME: .......not possible, huh?
EMBER: *shakes head*

Meh. Biologically or not, you two are pretty much brother & sister. It's wicked cute.

EMBER: *shakes head* And that's exactly why

*rolls eyes & gives up for now*

MORI: Aw, that was a burn
EMBER: .....why'd you say "aw/"
MORI: Cause I don't think it should've been a burn moment

*agrees, but doesn't say anything*

EMBER: *waves like Zack at the end of Advent Children, which is basically a slow, kinda lazy lifting and dropping of the hand. but it's cool anyway*

Normally, I'd complain about the lack of effort in that wave, but it was too cool, so I won't.

MORI: Piano time?
EMBER: I'm kinda tired, actually.......
MORI: *puppy dog eyes*
EMBER: .............one song. That's it
MORI: ^.^
EMBER: *gets up and sits at piano. starts playing.......something*

Too. Cute.

HAZEL: *tucks book loosely in sash and gets up to get water or something. walks across room and accidentally bumps into Carrion*

Uh-oh...*looks back & fourth between them during their little verbal battle* There were too many burns in there to point out each one.

TIDES: *watches carefully until Hazel walks away. relaxes a little when she does and goes back to fiddling around with his gun*

Awww. And watch where you're pointing that gun, dude.

EMBER: *yawns* I was hoping for some kind of action or chaos to break out. That would've been fun

Ditto to that.

MORI: Hazel would win. No doubt
EMBER: I'd place my money on Carrion, actually
MORI: are you insane? Hazel's got so much focus and determination
EMBER: Carrion has power, and he knows what he's doing with it
MORI: Hazel has way more tricks up her sleeve
EMBER: Carrion knows how to get inside his opponent's mind
MORI: So does Hazel. You think she studies illusionism and stuff like that for nothing?

*looks back & fourth between them*

MORI: Yeah, that's true *pulls out a bag of candy and starts to eat it*
EMBER: *reaches over for some*
MORI: *waves his hand away and keeps eating*
EMBER: ........*suddenly grabs her shoulder and points across the room* Look!
MORI: *looks quickly*
EMBER: A distraction! *grabs bag and runs*
MORI: !! Give it back! *starts chasing him*
EMBER: *laughing and jumping over a few obstacles such as chairs* Not a chance

Figures I'd miss something this adorable. *sits on the edge of the stage*

Okay, I can't stay at all. Be back around 1:00! *dashes out the door*

[EbonyStar]

That actually happens more often than you think. Like that one Improbable Mission where Colin kept going "the cat!" And Colin's often caused them all to break down laughing during Irish Drinking Song.

They're just wicked funny people. When they make each other laugh, it's the best. I think there was one time during the Irish Drinking Song where Ryan couldn't think of a line and literally just babbled nonsense to the tune of the song. They weren't even words, just sounds, and no one could say anything after that because they were laughing so hard

Meh. Biologically or not, you two are pretty much brother & sister. It's wicked cute.

EMBER and ME: *glance at each other and raise eyebrows*
EMBER: Wouldn't call it cute.....
ME: What do you call cute, then?
EMBER: .......nothing, really
ME: Loser *sits back and keeps writing*

Normally, I'd complain about the lack of effort in that wave, but it was too cool, so I won't.

EMBER: *yawns* Sweet. I'm too tired for complaining today. For now, anyway

Uh-oh...*looks back & fourth between them during their little verbal battle* There were too many burns in there to point out each one.

HAZEL: *bows* Courtesy of the master
TIDES and CARRION: *roll eyes*
ME: Uh oh. Don't tell me you two are gonna start getting along now
EMBER: *quietly* I wouldn't get too worried about that. The only way it could happen is if Tides hated Hazel as much as he pretends to
ME: .......good point

Awww. And watch where you're pointing that gun, dude.

TIDES: *keeps fixing it, but 'accidentally' points it towards Liz in the process* Don't worry. I almost know how this thing works
MORI: o.0
EMBER: *laughs* Chill, kid. He's been using that thing for years. It's almost as old as she is
TIDES: It's older
EMBER: *mutters* I'm just surprised it isn't dust by now

Ditto to that.

HAZEL: Maybe some other time, when I'm bored enough. Otherwise, I'd actually like an opponent who would.....how can I say this.......challenge my skills
CARRION: *glares*
MORI: Hm.....this might not end well
EMBER: Ah, it's fine. Hazel's not a total idiot. She can take care of herself
MORI: And if she can't, she's got someone to back her up in a heartbeat
EMBER: Nice choice of words there
MORI: Thanks ^.^ I though it fit well

Figures I'd miss something this adorable. *sits on the edge of the stage*

MORI: *is sitting on Ember's couch with half her bag of candy left* You loser
EMBER: *laughs and flips a piece of candy into the air. catches it in his mouth* Gotta be faster than the master, kid
MORI: That was.......uncharacteristically corny of you
EMBER: Figures. Tides said it before me
TIDES: *rolls eyes* I never said that
EMBER: .......whoops. I quoted you before you even said it
TIDES: ??
EMBER: Never mind *to himself, quietly* That's what I get for reading ahead in our own story.......

Okay, I can't stay at all. Be back around 1:00! *dashes out the door*

*waves* See ya, dudette

[sojuske]

*comes in* Hi Tara., What's going on?
*looks at clock* I got about two hours to do work, go me. *laughs* So how're you?

[EbonyStar]

I'm doing alright. My cold/cough is finally starting to go away

I have to go in about 15 minutes, though. I gotta go ouside and do some yardwork. I'll be back later, though

[sojuske]

Ah, well that must be fun. Does later equate to in an hour? Because after 11:00 am I'm not going to be on anymore... And it's been a bit since I've actually talked to people. Mainly I just talk to myself and people I bring in. (like Danny, Rimmer, House last night... though house was fun)

[EbonyStar]

Eleven for you is two for me, right? I probably won't be back then. My dad wants me to be outside for at least 2 hours and get fresh air doing something
Dang. And I haven't actually talked to you in forever

Aaand I gotta go now. I'll see ya later, Sharon!

[sojuske]

*waves* ok, see you Tara.
*sits down at a table and fiddles around with a pen then I guess*

[Moonlight]

*walks over to the couch, as usual*
Hiya Sharon. *tries to hold in a cough*

[sojuske]

Hiya Jem, how are you doing?
You sick?
