The Big Bang Theory portrays two hyper-intelligent and ultra geeky physicists, come room mates (Leonard and Sheldon) and what happens when an young charming woman (Penny) moves to the apartment next door. Yes, I got a feeling of satisfaction from helping people, but I can tell you that while I was engaged with people and helping them, I truly wasn't thinking of myself, in any way. I was able to get into that state of mind, partially because I didn't have to concern myself with money, food, or shelter. I could literally focus all my time on how to help people.
I don't actually know what's going on in Game of Thrones anymore (and wow, Daenerys and Jon Snow have no chemistry), so I picked the participants with the best outfits. Cersei obviously has been giving us life for several seasons now, so much so that Sansa has stolen some of her stylistic elements. Daenerys has turned lewks and lewks, including the naked-from-the-flames one. I think Yara Greyjoy is due for a comeback, and I think she's going to look fab when she does it. And I just love Lyanna Mormont, a 12-year-old who terrifies adults in that huge furry cloak. (She's decidedly tougher than Jorah Mormont, in my opinion.) I picked Podrick Payne because he seems nice, and I picked up Tycho Nestoris because it's generally unwise to bet against the bank. If those two can give me a few fashion moments this season, I'll be incredibly happy.
I agree that we should get together sometime. I don't remember where you live but I'm at almost the farthest south you can get in Florida on I-75 before crossing the state on Alligator Alley. Dave's up in Illinois. We'd all have a long way to drive to meet. I was in Michigan when I started this blog but moved to Florida almost 4 years ago.
The moshi monsters are a lot smarter than other online pets. For one thing, they understand how well you look after them. If you let them down, they can start behaving very badly. They scream, they fight and it needs a lot of care to get them back to being happy and playful again.

Not only did the Internet diffuse through journalism more rapidly and more completely than other once-new technologies, computer-mediated communication and the Internet has had an impact on every aspect of journalism. The Internet has emerged as a new medium of publication, a new tool for reporting, and a new focus for journalism education. Moreover, the Internet has raised new questions about the social responsibilities of journalists to inform the public as well as the ethical practice of journalism. Finally, the Internet is an international medium. Consequently its impact has been felt around the globe.
I recently attended a Robbins seminar. My husband loves him. It wasn't for me. All the meditations were aimed at getting overly-suggestible people into a trance and then Neurolingustically programming them to sign up for the $10K mastery university. I would walk out to use the restroom or to grab a bite (breaks were hardly given) and when I came back, they were still beating the same, dead horse as when I left. His ideas were not revolutionary, his facts were questionable, and his stories were very far-fetched. The room was deliberately freezing which, along with the rest of the sensory overload, was meant to break us down so our brains would be putty in his Banana-hands. I did not learn anything new (except that my husband drank the Kool-aid) and I am PISSED that I wasted 3 days of vacation on it.
