I agree with Paris Hilton (although one of her music videos has me laughing every time), I sort of agree with Regis Philbin (except did you see the episode of How I Met Your Mother with him? Classi...

How do you not remember much of the 80's? I was born in September of 79 and can remember seeing ET at a drive-in theater.

i know i'm late to this convo but i've had this discussion with todd before e.t. is the one movie that i'm still scared to death of. i hate it and every part of it creeps me out. i think it's where i began with my the governemnt is always trying to cover things up paranoia.

THANK YOU!!!!! I was beginning to feel like the Grinch that stole Christmas because e.t. NEVER gave me warm squishy feelings. They traumatized us in Nursery w/ it PLUS my grand has her own conspiracy theory about the idea behind e.t. *sigh of liberation*

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

i'll agree. e.t never filled me with sentimental child-like wonder. even when i was a sentimental child. it was just plain creepy. and to this day, i don't enjoy that movie and don't care to watch it.

i also felt that et was completely creepy and scary. to this day he freaks me out. those long creepy fingers!!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

yeah, man. so not into it. haha.

malibu malibuOG 2001

i'm intruiged and i love a good conspiracy theory and have no idea what one could be related to e.t. what is it?

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

It's ridiculous! I'll leave it at that.

Did you know that E.T. was supposed to represent Christ in the movie? Interesting, right?

sup, rob!

theremin thereminOG 2002

Doing well, thanks. ('cept, got laid off from job 2 week ago, because we've done a lot with the project and there was budget cuts like at every company now...otherwise, alright. Had the opportunity to take a fulltime position with Bloomberg in the City which is strange, since I got laid-off working there, but it required weekend availability, so I turned it down. Also another position there came up at 1 of the NJ locations, but it was only a 3-week job 40 miles away with tolls and not enough money. So, still searching for work.) Also, I've been considering more and more lately, joining a foreign lang. Cong. So we'll see. Meanwhile, really loving NYC.

what exactly do you do?

that's a really good question. sum it up in 5 words!

theremin thereminOG 2002 englandkid

Yeh, I get that question all the time and never know how to answer it simply enough.

Annnyway,
I was working on a News Search Enhancement project for Bloomberg (My title was Web Content Analyst)...we were basically building news feed syndications for the Bloomberg NewsWire. The job I was gonna be put forward for at their Manhattan location, but turned down due to scheduling conflict, was Global Customer Support.

Still out of work, so if anyone can help me get work, I would be very grateful indeed. Job searching is extremely draining to say the least.

englandkid englandkidOG 2003 theremin

ok i'm more confused than i was before I asked... what type of work are you looking for?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 englandkid

englandkid englandkidOG 2003 fivezero
