The "What's on your mind?" thread

[Captain Kirk]

I'm wondering what the best type of sharpie for autographs is. I want to get my Shawkshank steelbook signed when I go to the reunion party and I want it to look good. I was thinking black for some parts and a metallic gold for the bottom.

How and when are you going to this party?

August 31st in Mansfield, Ohio. It's being held at the Reformatory Prison that was used for the filming. It's now an attraction that is used for ghost hunts, tours, haunted houses, etc. They are holding a 20th anniversary party for Shawshank starting August 30th. They are screening the movie that night and on the 31st they are going to tour the prison and have a cocktail party, which is hosted by Bob Gunton (Warden in the film) and a few other actors are coming. I'm going to go as I've never toured the prison and the film sets. They are even having a special event in the Jesus Room, which is the room they showed movies in during the film.

That's awesome! The Jesus Room? That's a Odd name for a room.

It's called the "Jesus Room" due to a mural on the opposite wall of Jesus. It's really broken down in there now, but it should be interesting to see it all done up.

I'm super excited to visit and check out the city. I've never been there and there's a few places you can go to that were film sites. I really, really want to see the tree that the box was buried under. I'm going down early to do some drive-around photography of the area.

There should be a drinking game where every time Oprah Winfrey looks at the camera during an interview or while giving one, you take a shot. What an absolute hack.

I am wondering why I ordered speaker wire from Monoprice. $82.49 for wire, banana plugs and shipping. I just got a call from DHL and they want just over $12 for duty which'll bring my total to almost a hundred bucks.
I could've just bought a roll of Monster speaker wire locally for $65, or even the lower one for $54, and not have had to wait.

Never again.

I am loving my Apple TV!
I'm ripping cd's while streaming them to my AV set-up.
Good beers and good music go hand-in-hand for some peoples!

Right now I'm thinking about how in just SIX days I'll be moved into my College dorms 24 hours away from home ! I am very excited and insanely nervous at the same time . It will be a day of firsts for me. First time flying, first time riding in a taxi, first time living with a non family member, first time being almost completely independent....

Trying to decide if i want to drive 40 minutes to a screening for Gateway.

Can anyone tell me the name of the kind of bracelet that looks like a phone cord? People usually put keys on it and put it on their wrist. I think they come in all kinds of colors.

I forgot how damn creepy Elijah Wood is in Sin City. I haven't watched it in years and it's like..whoa you are one weird ass sob.

So Chuggers ,those individuals who try to get your attention and get you to sign up for their charities.
Or Smuggers,those that stop you whilst you are going about your business to sign you up to their latest call package,a visa card at 45% interest or anything else they try to convince you to buy.
There have been a number of them outside my store and I have had to have a few stern conversations with their "team leader" to ensure they don't come into the store and don't hassle our customers.
I'm guessing today is payback.
For a customer to confirm that they want to sign up they need to speak to someone on the phone to confirm their details and package .
Well someone they were signing up was given the salesmans mobile phone to clarify details as they were browsing in my store.
Whilst the salesman went back to get the paperwork the customer left with his phone.
It was a joy to see that idiot looking around for the customer in my store knowing that he lost his phone.
So yes it was a good day.
