I Won The Lottery!
If you win the lottery, at least the big lotteries, you have to do some sort of public appearance for them. Them getting to market you is one of the conditions if you win.

Need help on identifying a childhood classic for me
It's not Dune. That's about all I can help.

School Issues
If I ever get in a fight I'd kick the other person in the balls. Screw honor, I'll be a coward. I won't be the one lying on the floor in pain though.

Pet Peeves?
Anyone on the road within 2 miles of me really annoys me. Everyone except me is a bad driver, and should not be allowed on the road. They always do completely idiotic things, change lanes for no apparent reason, can't keep their speed steady, and the worst is when you are right behind them and they are going 10 under the speed limit, then once you pass them they stay with you going 10 over the speed limit.

SKY Channels on Virgin Media
Is this just for the UK? It would only affect me if it takes place in Canada also. Sky One is the releasers source for getting Heroes on Sunday, and Lost 3 hours before it comes on. That means I can watch these shows early and without commercials :D . I don't know anything about Sky or Virgin Media so I don't know if that will matter or not.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Stand by Me - The ultimate childhood best friends on an adventure movie. It would be awesome even if it didn't have a lot of actors I liked. Wil Wheaton (who was awesome), Kiefer Sutherland, and John Cusack were all young when they did this, which was kind of cool. The four friends were all pretty good actors, usually actor kids their age are annoying. Just a really feel good movie. Dog Day Afternoon - While it was a pretty good movie, decent story and everything, it didn't appeal all that much to me. Everything was from Al Pacino's view, and he was the one holding the hostages. For the most part that wasn't bad, I can deal with movies in which the bad guys are the main characters, and the movie makes you feel for them. There were a few times where it just went overboard I thought, the crowd cheering for him, the hostages playing games with him. It's based on a true story so maybe that's how it really happened, I don't know. SmultronstÃÆÃâÃâället - Wild Strawberries is the fifth Ingmar Bergman film I've seen. Everyone I watch is my new favourite of his. This one I think I liked best because of the main theme of it, an old man exploring the purpose of his life. Victor SjÃÆÃâÃâöstrÃÆÃâÃâöm did great in his part, and everyone else did good too. The dream sequences were very interesting. I'll have to watch this movie again with correctly working subtitles, the ones I had were about 10 seconds off at the beginning, and 2 minutes off by the end. After the first minute or two I just went ahead and did it manually via notepad, I could get kind of lost during the long speeches.

SNES Games
I always enjoyed Harvest Moon. Not a game for everyone though.

Lunar Eclipse tonight (9.30 PM GMT)
Heres what I saw: Yep, just clouds. Don't even know where the moon was so I took a few, they cover the whole southern sky. Well I had four pictures but imageshack is being stupid like normal so there is just two. EDIT: Right after I clicked submit it finally went through. Imageshack sucks like no other, but I guess since it's free I shouldn't complain.

Question
I had that problem also. There was a point a few years back where I had to get blood drawn 4 times, about once a month to do tests. They didn't have to draw barely any at all. The first time I was on the verge of crying, and after it was done I could barely walk, and couldn't see. the next two times I was a little faint, but it got better. The fourth time I barely had a problem at all. The point I am trying to make is it was the same amount drawn every time, so what I was feeling was mostly in my mind. I believe it would probably be the same in your case, you subconscious thinks you are supposed to faint when you lose blood, so it decided that's what was happening. Mind over matter.

It wasn't that kind of game. There was a lot of different parts to it.

lost in lost?
Yep, that was it. There was a lot more to it, it was an internet game to keep you interested in between season 2 and 3.

lost in lost?
Yep, definitely getting a little frustrating. If this was the end of season 1 I would have said get the DVDs and get caught up, because even though we didn't have all that many answers it seemed to be going in the direction pretty well. As it stands now though I would suggest waiting till all five or so seasons are up and then ask to see if you should even bother with it or not.

What movie(s) did you last see?
The Conversation - Another good movie by Francis For Coppola. It is a little slow, and it was kind of difficult to stay interested at the beginning. It didn't pick up the pace all that much but it did manage to draw you into the story. Gene Hackman was perfect for the part, and it was cool to see Harrison Ford pre-Star Wars/Indiana Jones. Don't know why, it was just cool. The end part of the movie was a little odd and did require me to check on the internet to make sure I understood it correctly. Overall a pretty good movie. Hauru no ugoku shiro - Howl's Moving Castle is the third Hayao Miyazaki film I've seen, and I liked the other two better. It was pretty good and everything, felt just like his other movies. Something about the story just didn't seem as good to me. Maybe I was expecting way too much, since the other two are some of my favourite animated films.

lost in lost?
Yeah, I agree this weeks was better. As I said above I was really disappointed in the week before episode because it failed to live up to what all the previews were saying, that we would get three answers, must see episode of the season ect... Turns out the writers didn't even know about all that, that was just the advertisers building it up. Anyways, even though this weeks episode was good, it still dropped down on my favourite list. They are really going to have to pick it up through the end of this season to get back to where they were before.

Your parents & Computers. Can they handle them?
My dad could handle DOS and Win95-98 just fine. He hardly has used it at all since then though, so he doesn't know much about XP. My mom can check her email and play Scrabble, that's about it.

anybody watch HEROES...?
Yep, it's actually in the right forum. But there are at least three Lost topics already, so it did need to be locked.

anybody watch HEROES...?
This will be an interesting read to Heroes fans :D . It affirms what I said above, this season will end this story line and next season will be a completely new storyline.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Ben-Hur - It was a little long, but was fairly interesting the whole time. Probably not a movie I will want to watch again, while the story was interesting the first time I don't see it being all that great a second time around. Mononoke-hime - Can never decide whether this is my favourite Miyazaki or Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi. Both are really great, I need to check out more of his work. Casino Royale - Quite possibly my favourite Bond film yet. Sure it wasn't quite as action packed as all the others, and not many nifty gadgets, but it still felt like a Bond movie. Taxi Driver - I remember enjoying this movie the first way through, but mostly really liking the end. This time through I enjoyed it all a lot more, the ending about the same. Really was drawn into De Niro's character this time, he did an awesome job. Grandma's Boy - One of those comedies that some will hate, some will like. It was actually pretty stupid and bad at times, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Dawn of the Dead - The 2004 version. A zombie movie doing exactly what it is supposed to do, and doing it pretty well. The Straight Story - Much, much less odd than the other David Lynch movies I've seen. But it is still a David Lynch movie though, so it does have some oddness to it. Overall a pretty good movie, Richard Farnsworth did a tremendous job. Dawn of the Dead - The original 1978 version. At first I didn't think I was going to like it as much. The first part of the movie dealt with deciding whether or not the undead were still human or not, and while it seemed obvious to me at the time, after that part was over I started to think about it and it was a fairly interesting point. Overall I may like it more than the new version, I think if I watched this one first I definitely would have liked it better. Kind Hearts and Coronets - Wow, this movie is great. Alec Guinness playing eight different parts was awesome enough, Dennis Price did great also. The story overall was awesome, although the ending I thought was a little abrupt. The Departed - Great cast, great story, great directing, everything about this movie is great. Must see. Brick - The first time I watched this I thought it was freaking awesome, this time I enjoyed it but I guess since I knew the story it wasn't quite as amazing. It's definitely worth a watch, it is really interesting.

PS3 and PS2?
I hardly move while playing Wii Sports. Now that I think about it; I probably more MORE playing a FPS on my PC than I do using my Wii. I have to move when I play Wii Sports. If I'm not doing motion pretty much exactly like I would do it in real life, it won't work right.
