Grasshopper Green

We got a new computer over the weekend and have been internet-less until today...so I really didn't have the opportunity to "miss" anything.

Lately, I've been reading a ton of comics with TFP down. Now I'm mostly caught up with all that happened in Marvel's Civil War, and I'll recommend Marvel Zombies to any fan of comics or zombie films.

Thanks to all who put in the time and effort to get this place back up...I didn't miss it that much, but I'm too busy right now to be regularly around...it did kill some of my work breaks...or rather wasn't there to fill my aimless void. I am glad we're back up and going...

To all that thankless wonders...hat's off...

I'm so glad we have such hard working and devoted people. Every time I saw the white screen I felt sad and useless that I couldn't do anything!

However, I actually was able to get some studying done for biochem, woohooo!

First off, a big, hearty thanks to all the TFP staff who were able to get the TFP Green back up so fast. It really speaks to the quality of individuals we have in this community.

I was sad as hell when it went down. And checked back a few times each day during the downtime just in case things went faster than planned.

It's good to be back. I missed you guys.

I think someone summed it up earlier, you don't know just how you miss something until it's actually gone!

Everyone that helped restore peace and tranquility - YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

thanks to the collective that got tfp back up and running...
someday i'll be able to help at a level beyond cheerleading.

i did what i normally do, whatever that is, except without the microbreaks that tfp enables. maybe i was more productive, maybe not.
i did find myself wanting to write more things with words and not words-and-images, so maybe that's good. maybe it's not. one never knows, do one?


one thing that started happening while the site was down that i liked, however, was that stories that were posted to the blog were sometimes greeted with other stories. so they started mutating into collective stories instead of just being one story with a series of affirmations or silences attached. this is an interesting potential and maybe we should think about how to take that further--something like the communi=blog (which i also like and which i hope more comrades play with) but more complex....

Soooo happy TFP is back and intact! I started back to work this week so it really helped keep my mind off of the waiting game (well...mostly).

Thanks to all who worked tirelessly to bring our intraweb home back.

I was pretty upset when I saw there was a blog and no TFP...I thought, what we're a blog now? Nooooo blogs suck. It was ok for a few days though.

I've been pretty busy with work so I haven't had the time to miss TFP too much. Plus you put it all back up so fast I only had to blink and we were back here!

Thank you Hal, ratbastid, cj22009, Sty, and everyone who put us back on track.

I think if TFP were gone I'd definitely feel very sad...this is a very cool place and you guys are awesome. I definitely wish I had more time to get more involved and get to know people a little more closely though. Maybe it's something I should work on right?

TFP is really amazing, I am always in awe of how long it has lasted and how committed everyone is to this community. It's truly amazing in this weird world we live in. Cheers everybody!

By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

I think you'd prefer the peanut butter soup with smoked duck and mashed squash. New York Matinee called it "a playful but mysterious little dish."
You'll love it. And then the red snapper with violets and pine nuts.
I think that'll follow nicely.

Oh, Will, Will, Will... that shirt? Not doing it. C'mon, brother... you've to wear clothes in proportion to your physique. There are definite do's and don'ts, good buddy, of wearing a bold striped shirt. A bold stripe shirt calls for solid colored or discreetly patterned suits and ties.
