What?
It's what, you say?
What's a menagerie?
OH!
<:| Nevermind.

Are you acting or crew? If you're acting, are you playing Jim or Tom?

No you won't. You are you're own worst critic, remember. We all have faith in you. And if we lived closer we'd come sit in the audience and throw peanuts at all the other actors.
Jade - I'm in the process of sending a missive once the web(site) in which I'm tangled gets cut free. :)
EDIT for on-topic: Wishing there were more than 24 hours in a day.

If I may, why do you think you'll suck? Is your line retention good?
I'm a director. If you like we can probably accomplish some very attainable goals through conversation. I'm happy to send you my phone number.

I was going to say Mr. Demille, but I suppose I do my best actor molestin' in a DeVille, so that works too.
Not being in the room with the actors doesn't make for easy direction, but I have a few tricks that might help him lock into the role confidently.

That I could translate my 8 week old son's crying into English.
Cheers! :D
Son: "Gurble gurble blah wah... Um, father... Real estate is still a good investment if you know what you're doing. In today's troubled world markets one need be prudent and keep a diverse portfolio. I truly hope you are saving for my future responsibly... and if you aren't well then I suggest you begin because University won't pay for itself and I'm going to be so much smarter than you. I do hope you're happy about that and don't get into a pissing contest with me. You're supposed to want that for me. What? You don't want that for me?"
You: "I didn't say anything!"
Wife: "Why are you talking to the baby, Michal?"
You: "He started it!"
Wife: "Take out the trash, Michal."
Son: (whispering taunts) "Yeah... take out the trash, Michal."

That Paizo hires me to write modules and short stories.
Yes I said "MODULES"!
I'm old.
Get over it!!
Get off my lawn too!!
You're not old. You're vintage! :p
(for what it's worth I call 'em modules too - my players hate it :D)
EDIT: Oh. Wish. Right!
Hmm... I wish I could just stay home all the time and work on various gaming related stuff without having to worry about having a job to pay for living.

I'll keep the request simple: I would like people to actually stop at stop signs again. It's always mass confusion at four way stops around here.
California stops, they call 'em. Slowing down and rolling through past the sign.
I remember one kid telling our driver, "When stop signs have that white line framing the red, they're optional."
Idiot. Hahaha, I tricked you into killing us.

Ah! I thought he wasn't talking about the political situation in China and North Korea... Do you want a job as a translator? ;)
Cheers! :D

Actually that was another conversation:
Son: Damn! Look at my hair! I look like Kim Jong-Il. Tufts stickin' up all over the place. Say, I hear Kim Jong-Il is planning to turn the country over to his younger son when he dies. So, "dad", what are you gonna give me? That punk's getting 1000 kisaeng girls and a 1,000,000 man army. What am I gonna get? ... And while we're on the subject of North Korean dictators, have you heard about what the UN Bioweapons Inspectors discovered in North Korea? Kimchi! The average North Korean apparatchik has two or three pots of this vile stuff buried in their front yard. How are you going to disarm a country that is willing to eat that crap? I tell ya ...

I know that feeling. At 2-yrs, I've just realised that the similar sequence of sounds that follow "Hiya" or "Herro" (Hello) are not "ha ra ru" but "How are you?" He's been saying it for months and I feel a total tool for not realising sooner and responding to his polite enquiry :)
I wish ... that I had the energy and motivation to take my telescope out under the lovely stars more often.
