Reply to "Buffy" and "Angel" in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Too many favourites to mention: First, though, I prefer to Buffy to Angel. Fave episodes: Becoming Pt 1 & 2 (great speeches) Season 3 finale Hush (those Gentlemen never fail to freak me out) Once More with Feeling Tabula Rasa Storyteller (Andrew needs his own spin off. Seriously) Chosen. I could go on, but it's too early on Monday morning to recall more specific details....By the way, I'm 23 and I've been with Buffy since the beginning. It never get

Impressionist painting in Art JoeUser Forums

Hi all, Last year here in Melbourne the National Gallery of Victoria held an exhibition of Impressionist paintings from the Musee d'Orsay. I went and absolutely loved it. There was one painting in particular that I fell in love with and I have been racking my brains to try and remember what was called and who it was by. The painting was on a really wide canvas and was a beautiful oil painting of a ballroom scene, from one end of the room to

Reply to Pregnant smokers in Misc JoeUser Forums

Hey, I never told her how to live, just excercising my right to be judgemental and express an opinion.... I agree that every behaviour and action we particpate in exposes us and others to dangerous situations, but often they are unwillingly done. I don't intend to get in my car and kill someone in an accident, but it could happen. I don't intend for my car to pollute the environment but it does (as does every other form of transportation). <

Reply to Pregnant smokers in Misc JoeUser Forums

I don't think a woman smoking while pregnant affects my bottom line....It's more the poor baby who may or may not be born with a mass of health problems due to its mother's habit. Someone tells you when to pee? That's a shame......

Reply to Pregnant smokers in Misc JoeUser Forums

I think that when you smoke while obviously pregnant you leave yourself open to judgement. I never said smoking while pregnant should be against the law. However, like I said, with all the information and research on the effects of smoking, we really do know what's best for people who people who smoke, particularly those who are pregnant and it's really simple: don't smoke. It causes irreparable damage to foetuses and babies in utero. Why should your c

Pregnant smokers in Misc JoeUser Forums

On my way to work this morning I drove past a heavily pregnant woman who was puffing away on a cigarette. At first I thought "maybe she's just really fat in the stomach area", but on closer inspection I decided that she really was pregnant. I don't get it, what excuse do they have to justify smoking when they're expecting a baby? Maybe it was just a moment

Reply to Promiscuity does NOT equal independence. in Misc JoeUser Forums

No, you're right, promiscuity doesn't equal independence and I also think Cosmo is full of sex (well, sex and ad space). I do disagree with what you've said about the independent woman ideal has changed. As a female in her early 20s, I don't think that being independent means that we're all going around trying to bed as many men as we can. What my friends and I are finding now that we're out of college is that we're still running after our

The metrosexual dilemma in Misc JoeUser Forums

A guy came into our office yesterday who is I guess what people could call a metrosexual. Well dressed, not bad looking, but overly confident and a little bit annoying. We have polished floorboards in our office and the thing that struck me as funny was that while he was walking around the heels on his shoes clacked around the way a woman in high heeled boots would. W

Jump on the Jamie love train in Misc JoeUser Forums

Oh man. Saw 'Ray' last night and can't believe how phenomenal it was. I can't even think of any words to praise it. Just go and see it okay? Go. Right now. Turn off your computer and get the hell out of your house/office/wherever. Just go. In unrelated news, we have a treadmill sitting in our lounge room waiting to be assembled, but it's one of those crapp

Life journals? Please. in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

Bloody hell, it's taken me ages to create my own blog. So here we are. Awkward silence (pause to look up how to spell 'awkward' - idiot). So...How do people fill up these every day with text. I'm feeling the pressure of all this empty gray space already. But what's with the 'Topic' category up there? I don't like any of those 3 options I can use to describe the vibe
