This thread is for when you just want to speaking something to the wind, mutter something into the darkness, shout something to the world, or something like that. Just to express yourself, and not necessarily waiting for or expecting anyone to reply.
It's okay if what you say here does not have context.
In case anyone asks, the difference between this thread and the landfill or other wonderposting threads is that this is meant for meaningful expression of thought, even if not meant for conversation/reply, while whatever is in the landfill carries no expectation of meaningfulness.

Minor suggestion: you can have your students watch a movie that introduces a bunch of earth science concepts, on the first day of lab, when there is little else for them to do, but they have a lot of free time.

Aww, I was hoping to discover something like God's Social Security Number.
perhaps rock and roll was a mistake
my mind cannot contemplate the thought
I would say it's a vicarious thing, but I don't have any desire to put myself into the shoes of, for example, an alcoholic acorn, so it's more like an enthrallment with the thought processes of said acorn (who, rightfully, has earned a spot as my avatar for now as a result).
I'm capable of doing things to seek pleasure but I don't do so with anything consumed besides plain ol' food and soft drinks
i guess to revise my earlier thought: there is a part of me that really doesn't understand why there isn't more jazz in the popular charts. noise music and tech death, i get why those aren't everyone's cup of tea. jazz seems like it should be one of those genres that always has at least some presence in the charts
I'm looking for something I'm in the mood to watch.
You can have a story with the best writing, best directing, best animation, best fight scenes, best voice talent, and yet it can be in a genre or story type that I'm not interested in, and, no, I'm not interested in watching it.
I watch things for personal fulfillment.
I am not a student of the medium. I do not seek "the best". I do not care to be a "critic" with "fine taste" (though if you want to say that I have "shit taste", I will certainly not have much respect for your comments).
I don't even seek to watch stuff merely to be able to talk to people about them. I don't really care if something's popular; if it appeals to me then I'll look into it, but if it doesn't, I don't much care about it.
