  1. I had the realization today that I no longer have any close IRL friends. My 3 closest friends left my life forever within the last 2 years. I've tried to rebuild but I know the people I meet today will be gone again come May

     

    I've been in situations where I didn't have contact with old friends for several years. Then one day out the blue we got back in contact, so I'd say hold the opportunity that you might reconnect open.

  2. It's been a rough week. I'm coming up on the one-year anniversary of my wife's death, but the last couple of weeks have been pretty awful thinking of those final days. I've also found out that my sister is not doing well - they've taken her off chemo and she's basically at the palliative care stage. Added to that, I've lost a friend here on the forum, and I'm still not quite sure why. Reflection may be good for the soul, but it feels like I'm taking a bit of a pummeling...

     

    I so very much appreciate every kind word I've received from you fine folks on the forum . . . and that includes someone in particular.

     

    I'm sorry to hear that you're going through all this. Can't imagine the hurt. I hope you'll be able to stay as strong as possible and move through it.

  3. I like her and I know she likes me (she wrote it) but I don't know how she likes me. It's on my mind constantly. :smash:

    Congrat's! Enjoy the feeling, my friend!

     

    I don't know how much I'm able to enjoy that feeling - when it comes to women my neuroticism goes way over my comfort level. However, I'm tired of overthinking so either this ship sinks or sails ;)

  4. I have been on 4 dates with a woman which has gone very well. The chemistry is there and I invited her home for dinner this saturday, which actually is the first time I've ever done that. I have a feeling there could be something going on, but I'm not entirely sure as I'm a guy who needs to be smacked in the face with a sign before I get the hint. But I'll guess I'll find out. For the moment I like the way it's going which feels like getting beyond friendship.

    Interesting, but slower than molasses in January. In spite of the outstanding cast, I had to watch it in chunks due to the deliberate pacing and understated acting.

     

    I tried but couldn't get through it. I fall asleep or end up on Youtube instead. That probably says more about me than it does the film.

  6. On the bus home from work yesterday I saw a woman on the street, who had been beat up so bad that her eye probably got stomped out. Half her face was purple. I wasn't the only one who saw, because literally the whole bus gasped in unison. It was horrible.
  7. Saw this movie at a special event in London with a Q&A by Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero. I also met Tommy and got a picture taken with him. He's a prototype, I can tell you that! :D

     

    For any fans of The Room you have to this one too.

    Hoping it gets the Rifftrax treatment just because of its connection to The Room. I am so looking forward to The Disaster Artist.

     

    Me too. The trailer where he tries to get the line 37+ times is hilarious.

     

    "I hit her" :LOL:

  9. I'm going to London tomorrow, so this is more a "what will make your day tomorrow" post, but what the heck. A friend and his girlfriend was supposed to go together, but she had to cancel so I got the offer. We're going to see a screening with a meet & greet with Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero. If you're familiar with the worst movie ever made, you know their names ;)

     

    This is movie we're going to see:

    First time going to London. Must remember to look to the right first!

    How far is that from Denmark and how long does it take for you to get there?

     

    It's small skip across the North Sea. About an hour and fifteen minutes by airplane. Usually it's very cheap.
