VK? Are you still here? You needed to stay late so you could say hello to me! :^D Have you thawed out from standing outside waiting for your philm card?
* ___ _-\__\ @ * -_ \ / \ * * \mmm .^^%--- * * <_|\ \ It's snowing again! -_-_ * < * *--<_ _*-_ - --_* - ejm -___ -
The city is virtually at a stand still. Yesterday the subway actually stopped running, leaving thousands of people stranded on the street.
They are calling in the army to help remove the snow.
VK???? Please wake up!!! Oh Please!!! Won't someone real talk to me? Talking to myself is dreadful.
VK; Yes, yawning is a good sign. Are you awake now?
llizard >> When I was sitting out there I was fine. When I was sitting inside, eating and waiting for them to start selling the cards I was fine. When I came to the computer lab I started freezing! :-/

VK; I know!! You should probably wear some slippers too.
llizard >> The IRL me is wearing a jacket and a warm wooly hat indoors!!! It's not cold in this building, I think it's just my nerves that are overreacting or something... (I did spend three and a half hours outdoors, sitting still, in -21C)
___ / \ mmmmm ||O O|| |||\=/||| |.-:_;\.| /(.) (\\\ \ ) . '"/ '( v )` \ | / ( | ) @@@ @@@ <--- fluffy slippers
VK; You didn't even do any jumping jacks to keep warm? Yikes!
VK; Somehow, I like the fluffy slipper image better. :^) CAn you make some tea or hot chocolate? You obviously need something to warm you up. I hope the philm card was worth it. How many other crazies were standing freezing in line?
llizard >> I was wearing a "skoteroverall" ("skoter" = "snowmobile"), which is VERY thick! And then I had wrapped a winter jacket around the middle part of my body (between the waist and the knees) and finally I was wrapped up in a sleeping bag! (I have slept quite happily in -4 in that sleeping bag!) FS >> hi! :)
VK; I'm wearing two pair of trousers, two pair of socks, two long sleeve T's, a sweater and still I'm freezing. (I didn't stand for 3 hours in the cold but I did slog through the snow to the store in -17C windchill -30)
FS!!! I can't believe it. Two real people in the chat room at the same time as I am here!
VK; Did you have a tent over you in the -4 temps or were you right outside?
llizard >> I have warm water in a thermos and a couple of little bags of "chicken soup" powder... :-/ llizard >> It's not just a philm card, it's a philm festival ticket too! (How many others? MANY others!!!)
llizard >> In the -4 I was sleeping outside, not in a tent.
VK; It still seems extreme to wait outside. One would think that you could just apply by e-mail for the card... Is FS really here?
VK; Wow! Were you waiting for tickets to a rock concert or something? (and you're still cold with the thermos? too bad!)
Entering... VK, llizard >> Hi!
VK; I can't believe it. I've been summoned to do some shovelling of the masses of snow. I'll be back in about 10 minutes. Oh I hope you'll still be here then....
llizard >> http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/philm/newe.html "We are releasing 450 cards for each of the early and the late show during the regular quarter. To the Phaestival, we will be releasing 400 cards and we will also be releasing about 200 night cards." One card costs 70 kr. One ordinairy film ticket costs 65 kr. I.e. you get 10-12 films for the price of one! There are 8.900 students at this school... These cards are HOT! They really NEED the cold five-hour wait to keep the students from killing each other over the tickets! (either that or raise the price...)
llizard >> Rock concert? No, just this crazy American exchange student who tricked a small group of his neighbours into going on a "hike" with him... 8)
* ___ _-\__\ * -_ \ __ * * \ / .\^%--- * * <_| \ I'm back!! -_-_ * < * *--<_ _*-_ - --_* - ejm -___ - Are you still here VK and FS?
VK; :^D (crazy American student) I'll say! and as for the philm cards, that just seems barbaric of the philm society. But I understand that it's worth it for you to wait in the cold. I wouldn't but them I'm lazy.
VK; I cannot BELIEVE how much snow is out there! And I just heard horrible news. The forecast for next week is rain. :^6
llizard >> They tried to have the queue indoors once, but the result was chaos!
llizard >> snow now, rain next week, ice next month... :-6
VK; ice for more than a month. And we're a little concerned about our flat roof. maybe we'll have a cave in because we can't get to it to clear it off.

We stood our Christmas tree on the snow in the front yard (recycling trucks come and take them away to be shredded and composted) but so much snow has fallen now that the tree looks half the height and I doubt that the removers will be able to get it out of the embankment.
FS; In the harddrive crash, I lost the address to your chat page.
llizard >> It sounds like you have A LOT of snow!!! :-O
VK; It's an insane amount. More than I've ever seen here in Toronto. (and it keeps falling) I think the same system has hit Joan's area. She said something about schools closing. So much for global warming....
llizard >> http://www.algonet.se/~dgillet/
VK; ARe you going to go to all those movies at once? (I used to be able to do those kind of movie blitzes but now can only manage about two in one day.)
llizard >> __ |[]|_ /(()()()()()()()()()() ______(OOOOO)\()()()()()()()()()()()
llizard >> I'll try to see all the "day" films... but I haven't decided yet what to do about the "night" films... 8)

llizard >> Erm... is it? I guess I have to change that sometime... :)
VK; And they are having a tremendous problem because of all the cars parked. (The cars can't move out of the parking spots because there is so much snow) So all the roadways have turned into one lane roads. Nobody here has any concept of how to drive in this sort of mess and of course, the ninnies who CAN get their cars out, insist on driving anyway. It's a disaster!
VK >> The night films looks like they can be skipped without too many tears...
FS; Maybe Le Grand Bleu might be okay. But I can attest to the fact that Horse Whisperer is pretty missable and suspect that so is Godzilla
llizard >> I heard some horror stories about some part of Sweden that got snowed-in like that a few weeks ago. The situation was that somebody was out walking when, Ooops!, he felt that he was walking on top of a car... 8]
FS; But I have no idea about the French movie. It might be major junk. Is there a blurb for it?
llizard >> I have seen "stora bla"! It sucks!
VK; !!! Just now when I was shovelling the steps, I almost fell off the last step because I thought I was already on the last one. A stair's worth of snow fell in about an hour. And it's still snowing. 8^/
VK; If so, I've seen it too and it sucks BIG TIME! My sister saw it and walked around rolling her eyes and saying "H e a v y e e e e e" for three or four days.

llizard >> It's the one they used to show when they only had one night film... (tradition...) :-/ (it's about divers...)
VK; AAAAuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! That "Grand Bleu"! that is one of the worst, no, it's THE WORST movie I've ever seen. That's the one that my sister couldn't believe. Is it being shown because it's bad?
VK; How I hated that movie. I should just mention it to T to torment him. He hated it more than I did (hardly possible really because I hated it more than I can say.)
llizard >> I don't know why they always show that one as the night film, but they do. :-P
VK; I just wanted them all to explode from holding their breaths too long.
VK >> And people PAY to see a bad night movie?
VK; They must be punishing you for standing in line so that you get a good price for the festival.
FS; Not only do they pay, they stand in line OUTSIDE for two or three hours!
llizard >> :D:DD:D FS >> Well, apparently Philm hopes they will pay to see that (and they do show two other films during the night...).
llizard >> Not "get a good price", "get tickets!".
FS; Actually, probably the types who do a lot of drugs just love BIG BLUE. It's that kind of nothing happens for an interminable length of time movie.
llizard >> "two or three hours"??? No, five or six hours... 8)
VK; Whatever. If a film festival here were showing BigBlue at night, I'd avoid the ticket line like the plague. BRrrr. (Can you tell how much I hated that movie?)
llizard >> But you don't have to see the film if you don't want to. There are plenty of other films at the festival. :)
VK; I stand corrected. I hope the others are much better philms and make it worth getting frostbite on your nose from standing for such a long time. (It's a barbaric way to get tickets.)
VK; If you've paid for it, you have to see it. :^D
VK; In fact, I think you should memorize it so you can regale us with its riveting dialogue. As I recall, I couldn't wait for the next priceless word to emerge from each actor's mouth (and I use that term actor loosely)

Bye VK! Don't go to sleep that way. You'll have bad dreams.

Goodbye FS and VK; glad I actually talked to you finally.
!!!!! T is watching the news and there is ONE CAR on the freeway right now that is usually in a traffic jam. Everyone went home early because of the snow falling.
llizard >> Don't worry, you are good at talking to yourself...
I refuse to stay here by myself. I'll return tomorrow. See you guys then (I hope)
FS; I'm not good enough at talking to myself. I'm quitting. I bore myself to tears.
