let me get this straight
you don't like al borland because he plays the same game you do, because he messages you on the same gaming app you use, and because he calls out other nerds on gbs while you're calling out this nerd on gbs

Al Borland's first challenge was to prove he could make constructive posts, and as such he had to make an ask/tell thread on one of the following topics:
quote:1. You are the owner of a cinema that has branded one of its screens as a cinema specifically for pets [mainly dogs]. Mention why you've decided to do this, how the system works and how it's benefited you, as well as giving a more general history of your cinema [normal otherwise?]. Don't be afraid to share a humourous anecdote or two.
2. You are the proprietor of a laundromat that is located nearby to a semi-major porn studio, and have a deal with them where you do their laundry in bulk for a reduced cost. Mention the general day-to-day operations, how your porn contract interferes with your regular work, and your own personal moral feelings [positive or negative]. Again, don't be afraid to share an anecdote or two.
I think this task has been completed well enough. lets move things up a bit. For the second challenge Al Borland has to make 5 of the following 6 posts. Remember to keep the tone serious - this isnt some sort of joking contest. lets say two days for this one:
- post in the book barn general What Did You Just Finish? stickied thread about the first harry potter book, the novelization of the first spider-man movie, and Ulysses (~150 words per book)
- post in creative convention thread giving constructive feedback to someone's art where you tell them it's good but could be "rounder" but could have "less curves" (be verbose)
- post a thread in Haus of Tech Support entitled "computer broke" using the template given in the stickied thread, with short sentences for each heading [i.e. "its broke", "no work", "computer" etc]
- in the debate and discussion political cartoons thread, please make a post containing 5 or more garfield cartoons
- make the exact same post [i'm talking copy/paste here] in the following three PYF threads: College Complaints [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3575204], Idiots on Social Media [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3632081], and PYF Stupid Life Hacks [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3649353]. the post must be at least somewhat relevant for each thread - it can't just be relevant to two and a non-sequitor in the third.
- find a tv iv thread about commenting on a tv show "live" [these are usually stickied], think of a single word to describe the topic of the show, and make a post in that thread that consists of that word repeated 100 times. dont use any other words, but you can use punctuation/images

I just finished the first Harry Potter Book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I had never read the series so when I my mom had a copy sitting around when I was visiting I figured, "Why not?"
The book isn't bad honestly. I enjoyed this kind of stuff as a kid. I was a big fan of the black cauldron series, Narnia, and other fantasy novels for children so I ate it up. I finished the book in one day. There were a few things I didn't get with it. I'll spoilers it in case people haven't read it. the whole professor having Voldemort on the back of his head inside the turbin It felt really awkward and I couldn't help but wonder, what if he had to sneeze? Or what if it was really stuff in there and he couldn't breathe properly? I know we're dealing with a land of magic and wizards, but it still bugged me. Oh well still a good book, and it is aimed at kids so I can't really fault it for that!
On the trip back I picked up some crap from the bargain bin at half priced books and a copy of Ulysses.
I picked up the spider man movie novelization as a bit of a self masochistic pleasure to myself. Needless to say it was worse than the movie. The movie was alright but reading the book felt like a really dry format. They didn't do a good enough job bringing out the character of Norman Osborn very well. The struggle between sane and the green goblin really lacked. They could have done it better but at 50 cents I really wasn't expecting much from it.
Also they really brushed over the death of Peter's uncle. The main part that made Peter Parker what he was was brushed over. I mean seriously? The whole criminal getting away, peter's uncle dying, and the capture of the criminal couldn't have been more than two pages.
Still in the end given the prompt the writer had to work with and basing it off of a movie. I'd imagine not much creativity of desire was sparked by the authors in doing it. I can't honestly blame them as it isn't their own personal work they're trying to carry over.
Ulysses was definitely the more enjoyable of the reads. I don't think the Spiderman novel kept my attention at all and honestly I skipped through it rather quickly on the train back home.
Ulysses was definitely more of a challenge. Having read Homer's Odyssey I was able to somewhat the parallels between the two. I will admit the book was a bit of a pain to keep track of everything going on. It definitely was chaotic. However, I did my best to not search for any super deep meanings and tried my best to enjoy it so the book went a lot smoother for me.
The several protagonists was a bit of a surprise to me at the start but as the book progressed I began to expect it after every few chapters. I was definitely more fond of Bloom than Dedalus as far as the two went. I guess I was able to identify with him easier than the mopey poetry writer that Dedalus tended to be starting out. The book was okay overall, but I think if I"m being honest with myself I enjoyed Harry Potter a little more! (Sorry James Joyce!) It wasn't a bad book by any means but it wasn't my cup of tea. I was expecting something a little different going in.
