Unplugged Chit Chat Thread

Friend just informed me "This is Me" won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. WAY cool, and MUCH deserved (as I said above). I actually watched the Globes - usually not a big awards show fan - but since I really had no plans to see this at that time, went totally over my head.

Very cool! I don't generally watch award shows anymore - partly because we cut the cord many years ago. I'm not sure if I could even have a way to watch the award shows. Maybe next year I'll want to see the Golden Globes and Oscars since I have a MoviePass card so I can see all the movies.
 
Randoms to keep this thread moving....

-Hit the sack early last night, so I missed the premiere of "The Assassination of Gianni Versace", a show I've been highly anticipating. That whole case(Versace's murder by Andrew Cunanan) has fascinated me ever since it happened 20 years ago. Can't wait to see what they do in telling the story.

-WDW in three months. It'll be my first trip in over three years. Can't wait to see what's changed, can't wait to hit up the Flower/Garden Festival, and can't wait to run my first-ever half marathon while I'm there.

-With that, I'm back in full-blown DIS mode. I always watch all their content leading up to trips, but honestly, when I don't have a trip on the horizon, I tend to only listen to the Tuesday show, and even then I usually catch it a few days later during my weekly long run. Tons of great videos being put out right now, and their mini-sodes are really helpful as I try to determine my plans.

-If you interrupt the Hall of Presidents show because you don't like the President, you are a straight-up loser. And I didn't even vote for him. But yeah, you're a loser.

-I'm perpetually on a mid-90's hip-hop/R&B kick. Just knowing what I know about the other posters on this board, I'm probably the only one. New Edition, Janet Jackson, Bell Biv Devoe, Keith Sweat, gimme all of it. My afternoon playlist is impeccable.

-That reminds me....what I always loved best about this board(and about the DIS community in general) is that the people/posters I *know* from here could not be a more diverse bunch. Gender, location, occupation, political views, interests, sexual orientation, religion, etc.....vastly diverse, and yet the one common thread that ties it all together is a company that was started with a cartoon mouse.

God bless you, Walt Disney.

Out.

Wow - so psyched for you, and proud of you - that's awesome!

Not at all! One of my favorite genres is just this type of music! Love the above artists, plus Phyllis Hyman, Angela Bofill, Switch, SWV, the Isley Brothers, Teddy Pendergrass, even 98 Degrees/NSync/Boyz to Men, etc. and many, many more! And I always feel like the "alone" one in my musical tastes! We would have MUCH to talk about if we ever met!! :) Just enjoyed very much watching the multi part Back Story of New Edition that was on one of the channels on a long Sunday afternoon recently. That was followed by the Whitney Houston Story. Epic afternoon. LOL/QUOTE]

I always mess up the "multi quote" thing. Sorry. My home WiFi network/printer think I'm a tech idiot today too. Happy times. :guilty:
 
I'm the same - I don't watch or post on the Dis much during the barren times when I don't have a trip planned. I'm really looking forward to going in December.

And I totally agree about the Hall of Presidents - he's a President so he goes in. I don't think I've ever gone to the Hall of Presidents though - not even when I was a kid
 
Llama, great post. Good luck with the race. I didn't know you were a runner. We were just there during Marathon week but not as participants. I did decide that I need to start working towards doing some longer runs. I've only done 5Ks so far. I'm going to look around for a 10K this spring and aim for that.

I totally agree about HoP. We actually did go and see the new show last week. I think they did a nice job with it. I don't think I like it as much as the previous one but that could just be nostalgia talking. The new video quality is excellent though. The upgrades were worth the wait. And no morons disrupted the show when we saw it thankfully.
 


Saw Greatest Showman, happily, for the 2nd time today, and I'd see it again, for a 3rd. :) No - don't like it at all. :lmao: Seriously - cried and "chair danced" twice as much/hard, touched just the same, saw lots of stuff this time I didn't see the first.
 
I don't know when we go to the movies for now---got to replace some things like my comforter that our pup decide to remove half of its fluff. She has been a challenge on chewing fluffy items and paper. I was planning to take advantage of sales anyway, but not this soon. We did go see The Last Jedi last month as a Christmas gift to each other.

MIL and her #3 son is on a church trip to various holy sites in Israel this week and BIL got a tattoo today while over there---his wife didn't know this until he posted the photo. A family friend asked if MIL got one too---she chickened out. This trip starts her 80th birthday celebration early (her big day is next month). I thinking of looking for a temp. tattoo for DH for his quick surprise trip for part of a birthday gift (I'm staying home for now with the dog...its the 4 brothers together for a special meal).

It is fun to have you on the boards. Your responses give me a good laugh. I hope you have a great trip to WDW. I'd admit I am a bit jealous. I haven't been since 2000. From what I have heard from others I'm not sure I'll recognize the place. I can't wait to go back but I want to convince my sisters and their kids to come with me. I could go by myself but it wouldn't be as fun as watching the kids faces throughout the day.

I'm impressed that you are doing the half marathon. I'm not sure I could do that.

So you mentioned the music you like but my mid-90s music included Tori Amos, Jewel, Indigo Girls, Wallflowers, Cranberries, and Sheryl Crow. In fact during my first CP 97 the WallFlower always was played in the tunnel. Every Day is a Winding Road was always playing in the van to work. I actually bought a Cranberries cd a few weeks before Christmas.

What do you think of the UK basketball game tonight? Ugh!! I don't think they are that good this year but I still wore my UK shirt.
 
I may, or may not, have seen it for the 3rd time. And I may, or may not, have to go on IASW to get that soundtrack outta my head!! :o:o
 
So, I've been sick with a migraine all weekend. I have chronic migraines but this one is bad. I'm trying to work right now and my head is just throbbing.

I didn't see any movies this weekend because of it :( I did teach Sunday School alone for the first time (my co-teacher was sick) and helped with my daughter's Girl Scout troop cookie booth.

I hope you feel better soon. I don't suffer from migraines thankfully but I have plenty of patients who do so I know how miserable it makes them.

Used to suffer from them in my late teens/early 20's, so I LITERALLY can feel your pain. Feel better SOON!!!

Now it's gotten an Oscar Nom! :cheer2:

Seriously thinking of sharing a short email expressing my personal, cathartic identification with this song, and how emotional it's gotten me every time I've heard it, with the performer, and maybe some others connected with the film. I would hope it might get through to 1 of them, maybe. Even if not, I feel like maybe I'd want to "put it out there" how profoundly it's persohally touched me. :o In life, as I've gotten older, I've learned - even if the intended "recipient" doesn't receive/read/hear/understand/do anything with/acknowledge your message, and it never changes a thing - sometimes - just sometimes - it's enough for you just to be able to VOICE it!
 
Thanks everyone - I am not feeling better at all though I got my neurologist to call something in for me that hopefully will help.

Tonight I was just tired, in pain and depressed so my daughter told me that all I had to do to feel better was to watch my favorite show, The Dis Unplugged weekly show :) She is very sweet!
 
OMG I am dying! We are on a mini vacation in Santa Cruz and my kids are watching tv. We do not have regular tv, so this is a new experience. They are frustrated they can't pause the movie and they thought a random commercial channel took over their movie. :lmao: Welcome to the real world kiddos!
