I often wonder what is so difficult about film projectors that the people running them at movie theaters so often screw stuff up so badly. I went to the movies tonight… and it randomly stopped for no apparent reason… and then proceeded to take like 15 minutes for them to fix it. Granted, I get a free movie out of it.. but… why? I can’t understand it.
I also apparently will not be going to the beach this weekend. There has been a change of plans, but, upon finding out what the plans were in the first place, I probably would not have gone anyway. As it turns out, it is someone’s birthday, and I do not know him, and people were going cuz it was what he wanted to do for his birthday… so.. yeah. Anyway, I’m told they are not doing it anyway cuz it is supposed to rain on monday now.. but.. *shrugs*.
I’m hoping this weekend will pick up a little bit tomorrow… it’s been a bit slow. But that’s ok I guess. Nice to get some rest in ;). I am going to try and write a decent post tomorrow… you know, something worth reading 🙂 We’ll see though.
Have a great day.
Be excellent to each other.
(truly a great song… ;))
“God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don’t know for sure
You don’t feel right, you can’t find a cure
And you’re gettin’ less than what you’re lookin’ for
You don’t have money or a fancy car
And you’re tired of wishin’ on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
“Now listen”
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won’t get far
Cause it’s never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don’t start livin’ till you realize
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul
(Instrumental break)
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
I know life sometimes can get tough!
And I know life sometimes can be
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road’s name is… Rock and Roll”
-“God Gave Rock And Roll To You,” by Kiss
it was most likely a Brain Wrap… its when the film wraps around the Brain (the thing that controls the rotation of the feed out platter), causeing the film to tighten the a hole quickly burns in the film where it is in front of the lamp causing the film to break which triggers the fail safe, turning off the projector. a good portion of the film needs to be cut out because it is severlly damaged, plus the “wrap” has to be fixed, which depending on the skill of the projectionist and the severity of the wrap can take anywhere from 5-30 mins… it happens all the time… if you wish to know why this happens let me know and I will explain it to you…
Sorry about the movie…and the beach….life is like that…but oh well.
God Bless

We DO need rain.
Jas, why does the movie film deal always happen to YOU? I have yet to have this happen when at the movies. I did go once and me and my sister were the only ones in the theater and they forgot to start the movie for like 25 minutes.
You and I should catch a movie sometime. Either my good luck will cause you to see the movie without mishap, or your bad luck will give me the new experience of film breakage and free movie passes. Could be cool either way.
LOL
Jer… thats when I would have turned the projector off and said there was a malfunction and given you passes 😛
I think the fact that they can’t even run the projector is the reason why they are working at a movie theater in first place. (No offence to anyone who works in a movie theater.)
well part of the problem is theaters buy these cheaper then dirt Christie Projectors…. and the fall apart before you even run them one time
ah, I HATE when that happens at the theatre…but it’s never taken 15 minutes to fix for me before…my gosh, I would have DEMANDED that I got to see that movie for free!
That wasn’t my point. My point was that plants cannot start growing wihtout the sun.
But wait, there’s more.
~ God spends one-sixth of his entire creative effort (the second day) working on a solid firmament. This strange structure, which God calls heaven, is intended to separate the higher waters from the lower waters. This firmament, if it existed, would have been quite an obstacle to our space program.
~ “And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.” Really? Then why are only a tiny fraction of stars visible from earth? Under the best conditions, no more than five thousand stars are visible from earth with the unaided eye, yet there are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy and a hundred billion or so galaxies. Yet this verse says that God put the stars in the firmament “to give light” to the earth.
~ God makes the animals and parades them before Adam to see if any would strike his fancy. But none seem to have what it takes to please him. (Although he was tempted to go for the sheep.) After making the animals, God has Adam name them all. The naming of several billion species must have kept Adam busy for a while.
~ God curses the serpent. From now on the serpent will crawl on his belly and eat dust. One wonders how he got around before — by hopping on his tail, perhaps? But snakes don’t eat dust, do they?
~ Cain is worried after killing Abel and says, “Every one who finds me shall slay me.” This is a strange concern since there were only two other humans alive at the time — his parents!
~ “And Cain knew his wife.” That’s nice, but where the hell did she come from?
~ Noah sends a dove out to see if there was any dry land. But the dove returns without finding any. Then, just seven days later, the dove goes out again and returns with an olive leaf. But how could an olive tree survive the flood? And if any seeds happened to survive, they certainly wouldn’t germinate and grow leaves within a seven day period
Now, that’s just in the the Book of Genesis alone. I have many many more questions about your Holy Book. Would you mind trying to answer some of these?
*hugs* thanks for your wisdom. Yar it sucks. But… who said A. Life was easy and B. Growth is never painful?
And yeah… looking into the whole… god thing… Pray for me. Thanks.
