I'm not a sweetie, I'm very much Meredith Brooks. Just ask Harrison! ;P
Peace & Luv, Liz
Harrison says you're not a sweetie?? Hmmmm... maybe we need to have a talk with him ;)
*Zero-G gets J-ROC and Questie and goes over to Harrison to make sure he understands the sweetness of Liz*
Hee! Harrison's been friends with me for enough years to fully understand my (lack of) sweetness. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
So we haven't known you long enough, right?? I agree with the guys and say that Harrison's wrong! :P
When you all have known me for (counts) 7 1/2 years, we can do a fair comparison. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
When we have known you for that long, then Harrison has known you for equally many years more. It's a catch 22, a vicious circle, a maelstrom of malicious moths...ok I don't know where that one came from or where it's going, but I'm not gonna follow it. ;]
Anyway, we will always be behind him, so you'll just haveto trust that we have somewhat better judgement of character than, in this case, Harrison. Which we do. 8)
Wait, I have the answer! We'll all just have to form a KQ9 Commune so you can all be roommates with me and thus have a sufficient common ground to start from. Whee! <3
Peace & Luv, Liz
I'll join...as long as we can get Alex, Kimmie and James over here! ;D
Sounds great!
I'll cook as long as someone else does the dishes! :D
I'll help with the cooking...but I don't do dishes either
I'll keep the place clean and organized, but I also don't do dishes.
I think we're just going to have to spring for a dishwasher.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Fine, I'll do the dishes, you sissies. ::)

Sorry, kind of an American joke. It's a play on her first (only?) single (http://www.musicfanclubs.org/meredithbrooks/bitc.html).
Harrison's the one who cooked up the joke.

Liz? The same Liz who runs that death site and never updates? :P
(Maybe I shouldn't of brought that subject up... :dead:)
[Restore] [Restart] [Quit]
Heh. Yeah, I'm the same Liz. I've been really bad at updating all my sites... I've been in the middle of a redesign for some time now. I'm actually almost done with my Roger Wilco redesign... I just haven't had the time to iron out the last few layout bugs and snap some new deaths people sent me. I've got some plans for my Prince Alex site, too.
Although to be honest, the individual Many Deaths sections were never meant to be regularly updated... I really can only add new stuff when someone submits something I missed to me. I do plan on adding more games, but that's always a lengthy process. (The KQ6 section alone took me about a month to do.)
Peace & Luv, Liz

I wasn't trying to cause guilt or anything, just say that unfortunately it'll be a lengthy wait between new game/character sections.

That reminds me...
if you need screenshots of KQ3, I'll take some and send them to you.
perhaps someone could send you the deaths of KQ9, that way you could have an updated site even before the game comes out :D :P

The really funny thing is, I don't think I've ever come across another Jeysie posting on the web anywhere. So if you come across something posted by a Jeysie, I think the chances are pretty high that it's me. XD
And muchos gracias. I figured anyone running a fangame group like IA would appreciate such a thing. ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
Woo! Jeysie has her own thread! !!!
(Joins in celebration!)
Yipee!!!
I have my own thread, and the vast majority of it is devoted to discussing how much of a b**** I am. I find this strangely appropriate.
Peace & Luv, Liz
What, you a b**** ???
Nonsense.
You are a great person and I do not want to hear talk of you finding people taking the michael out of you appropriate.
So there. ;D

You just haven't been here long enough. ;)
I suppose it's that my style of thinking is an acquired taste.

*Spits fire with Jeysie's negative attitude towards herself.*
(chuckle) It's not negative, it's the truth.
I'll PM you about it, you'll feel better.
Peace & Luv, Liz
(Jeysie looks at Shadow, gently laughing at her self mockery across the giant forum; she catches a glint in Shadows eye and recoils in fear. His eyes are flints, glaring deeply into her soul after her heretical outburst. He grits his teeth and turns his back to her, casting scornful looks at the darkness that seems to swallow him up and has obviously captured her soul. Shadow bows his head and sighs, no amount of friendly discussion will make Jeysie realise just what a nice person she is. He curses and bites his tongue till the tang of blood enters his mouth. He gives up all hope.)
Sorry, Im in a writing mood after the Harry Potter thread. ;)
(chuckles some more) I never out said I thought I was a mean person... just that some people might interpret me that way.

heee!! good to have your own thread Jeysie!! I can reccomend it to all forum ppl ::) :P
Recommend it to everyone? But what would we all do here? :P
Peace & Luv, Liz
We'd get to post on just about any topic we wanted w/o really feeling bad about going off-topic! :D
Well, this is my thread... I suppose I should make some assertive commentary about what topics to discuss.
Maybe we should stick to my two favorite possibilities... science fiction and attractive men.

I'll let you guys figure out which ones I'm talking about!

Other than stuff nobody on the forum knows about(I've brought them up before), and extremely mainstream sci-fi, can't think of anything. :P

heeee!! i vote for science fiction!! anyone knows why we hear laser blasts in space?? :S
And why are there swords with beams of light :-\ :P
there is a perfectly good explanation for that ;D .....I hope ::) ;-D
The question, is how they stop at a certain point. Since they're "light"sabers, should it travel indefinitely? ???
Yeah thats a good point :-\, George didnt get that point straight then :-\
Hmmm,
I have never heard any explanation on how light sabers work so here is my two cents;
The "light" of the lightsabers may not necessarily by light at all, it could be some form of plasma which is held in check by very powerful projection electromagnets that are coiled up inside the central grip. Mind you, the pretty colours would not exist then, you can only create plasma by superheating a gas or ionising it severely (from what I remember).
Ionised gas is a soft blue, superheated gas looks vaguely volcanic.
In the case of a hand held weapon you would be better off ionising the gas as superheating it would be very difficult and the equipment to do so (even in the Star Wars universe) would be very bulky. However, ionising gas into plasma would still require lots of electrical power so unless some form of self-regnerative power source is equipped into the actual hand grip (using some form of stirling cycle engine) then problems will be encountered. Besides, plasma would be far more effective as a projectile weapon using similar magnetic technology to variably focus the "blast" area of the plasma.
Therefore a light saber would not be worth the complexity and subsequent expense when compared with an equally effective weapon (i.e a form of sword made out of titanium carbide to keep it just as light as a lightsaber and probably more lethal.)
(everyone on forum looks at Shadow with stunned bemusment). Well thats my two cents over with!
That's the best explination I've heard so far. :D
i thought a Jedi needed special crystals in order to be able to construct his own lightsaber
*googles*
anatomy of lightsabers (http://www.thelightsaber.com/anatomy.htm)
I don't proclaim that anything I have said is THE explantion but it is what my limited knowledge of plasma weaponry can tell me.
BTW, there would also be a problem "draining" the plasma from the weapon once it is to be powered down. With ionised gas it wouldn't be too much of a problem but excess charge would have to be ducted away through an earthing wire. With superheated gas there would be no chance, you would have to use more expensive equipment to cool it down (that is why a superheated plasma weapon would be better off using the gas as a projectile, any superheated steam can be vented out safely and the main plasma body would form the projectile. Heat control would be an issue though.)
As for the crystals, I assume the idea was that a lightsaber was meant to be a laser based weapon in Lucas's mind, the crystals would form the principle lense that would form the beam. However, in order to contain the beam a form of fiber optic tube would be needed using total internal reflection to keep the beam in a "beam" shape and retain it within a limited area. Therefore it would be the tubing, not the actual light beam itself, that would make a light saber lethal (personally, plastic collapsible tubing would not be that dangerous.) The only time when light can form a lethal weapon is in a true focused laser format where it can physically "punch" an object using pure photon power and the heat caused by the focused light energy would burn through soft targets as well.
Oops, Ive ranted again. ;)
I will have to study your link B'rrr, seems interesting but I still say a lightsaber wouldn't be worth the cost compared to a cheap projectile weapon or (if close combat was unavoidable) a special metal alloy blade with electrical mono-filaments if you wished to "shock" a target upon impact.
At the end of the day, a 200mm round travelling a 1300yrds/per sec with a depleted uranium/high explosive/incendiary shrapnel core is going to be an awful lot more effective at tearing apart a target quickly then a beam of light (unless you are willing to lose all forms of practicality with the light weapon).
of course it isn´t worth the effort!! too much work for a close combat weapon....
it isn´t worth for normal ppl, but remember that a Jedi can deflect laser blasts with it, it´s not only offencive but defensive as well!
iirc george first idea for the stormtroopers was that they would carry a lightsaber, later he decided to make it an elite weapon, for the more elite ppl (the Jedi´s/sith)
iirc the royal guards guarding the emperor has a close combat weapon that shocks ppl (not sure though)
EDIT: ok, the ´force pikes´ of the royal quard does not shock ppl, but it has a vibrating tip which cuts through stone, metal ...bones
Well what do you know, we're on-topic. XD
Quote from: B'rrr on September 22, 2004, 09:09:21 AM
i thought a Jedi needed special crystals in order to be able to construct his own lightsaber
Yeah, but we're looking for a logical/rational/possible way to make one.
results=there isn't one :P
check the link, at the bottem you can see how all different parts work together....
Well, with the expense needed to build I lightsaber I think the Imperial Stormtroopers were better off without it (would trade off absolute technological refinement for something a lot cheaper, easier to produce and would leave over money to purchase better equipment in other areas.) Besides, in the case of all armed forces it is foolish to rely upon a technlogical solution to an operational problem (it may yield results but on its own it is a very brittal solution, the appropriate tactics and training must be applied to exploit its advantages and cover its weaknesses until the technology evolves to compliment the soldier/pilot/master at arms)
BTW B'rrr, even though the lightsaber may be possible using these special crystals, it would also be logistically very unwise to rely upon a weapon which uses a material which is extremely rare and located only at one source as if that source is captured or destroyed then the existing weapons will have to be treated like gold dust. The Sith have the superior idea of manufacturing their own crystals and I am surprised that the Jedi haven't thought of it themselves (yes, I know they are supposed to be noble warriors and yes I know building their own weapon is a spiritual journey).
As for the crystals using the force to aid the jedi, well I would prefer a good solid predictor targeting system myself! ;)
heee, luke decide not to use a targeting system and trust on the force, he succeded where Garven Dreis (Red leader) failed ::)
I agree on you that the siths have a superior way of manufacturing. I wonder how mary Jane got hers though, do you know that Daniel? (you've read the books, right?)
/me wonders why no mods interfere when ppl are talking about sith and Jedi's cuz they are religions ::) :P
Mary Jane?
(grins at B'rrr's red highlighted comment) ;D
Suppose as long as it isn't real, it's just fantasy, then it is okay. (I have already had two run ins with the "law" during my stay here, the most recent one was today!)
Its a lot harder to get into heated arguments about whether Siths or Jedi's have a better, more economical weapons manufacturing plan then real religion...
Now, If I were to come online and say Babylon 5 is way better than Star Wars in everyway... We might just strike a match or two. :)
(not everyway... I just prefer the former...)
BTW: We arnt allowed to talk about religion? When did this happen? ???
Lord knows mate!
All I know is that anything which can possibly generate negative arguments (whether it be politics, history, religion, personal opinions of an description that have any real substance), then it is simply BANNED.
Still, I am no mood to get chucked out of the forum yet so I will stick by those rules and hope for the best. I SHALL remain cool. 8)
Is this a new KQ9 forum rule?
*wonders if his idiot KQ3+ comment was the cause...*
*whacks himself hard on the head repeatedly with a trout*
Hmmm, no offence but that really could be an influence (not the sole reason but an influence possibly; I have to admit from my angle it did sound a wee bit harsh but then again mistakes were made all round so lets forget about it, easy for me to say when I wasn't involved I know but keep cool!)
As I said, just avoid anything that can possibly sound remotely opinionated.
(My advice, pretend the KGB, SS and the Stazi are all watching you). ;)
If its all the same, Id rather not. ::)
Hehehehehe!
I have to admit, the worst these people can do to you is chuck you out forever; the triple ententé of doom would cause you far more problems than the moderators in all their fury ever could. ;D
I dont know... The worst part of the whole 'incident' wasnt being shouted at or argued with (im used to that) it was letting down the other forumers Ive come to consider friends... That hurt the most and it'll take a long time for me to get over that... (hence the reason im still talking about it) I doubt even those 'infamous 3' could ever do that to me. As usual, I am my own worst enemy. :-\

She got hers from Luke(he switched sabers during the movies). She got Anikan/Vader's old saber(I don't know what she had before that).
(sighs) I know what you mean mate, that in itself is the worst form of torture. I still would try to put it to the back of your mind (I know its difficult but try to at least, otherwise it will eat away at you forever and that is a horrible, sickening feeling.)
Still, I saw what took place (when I was forum lurker No 1) and I think that your reaction was natural in the circumstances presented to you (I get very, very angry, very, very quickly if provoked in the right way so God forbid if anything should happen, I will say something I will regret; the satisfaction of making my point at the time will outweigh any possible issues in the future.)
Anyhoo, stay chilled and all will be well (I'll make sure of it!) 8)

It's been in effect, since before I joined the forum. The main purpose of the rule, is to avoid offensive conversations. I have seen forums, that the best word for, is anrachy. Partly because of such posts.
If you wish to carry on conversations about religion, there is nothing stopping you. You just cannot post them in the public forum.
Thanks man.
Life goes on... :)

she has a purple one, right? iirc lukes old one (and anakins old one) was blue :-\ ...it can't be made of those synthetic crystals so she must have found it or got it from a dead jedi (given by the emperor??) or found the cave and createone herself...
Sorry, I got mixed up. :P
I don't know what she had, before the emporer died. After the emperor died, she got Lukes first lightsaber(blue?). Then later, she made her own(purple).
lol, ok, thnx for the clarification

Now if I can just keep the details straight in my mind. XD
I guess Jeysie has no use for her own thread and this thread should be renamed "Which sword is best" ;)
She named the topic, and everyone's on-topic(somewhat). lol
That reminds me....
Sliders
That girl that left the series, during the zombie episode, did anyone here think she should have stayed in the series longer?
I didn't like her character, and I thought her character was slightly annoying. :P
I'll just say this once to clarify something. It may be off-topic, but since it was brought up here I'll answer it.
Quote from: FataliOmega on September 22, 2004, 03:27:52 PM
Is this a new KQ9 forum rule?
No, we've had it for a while. It's the implicit rule held by most forums: "Don't be an a******." There's a reason why these forums have a friendly atmosphere and a caring community. The reason is because we do not tolerate offensive content in any shape or form. The definition of "offensive" can be broad and what one person finds offensive, someone else could find as humorous, and I do acknowledge that there are plenty of posts & threads that could be described as offensive. Most of them are in Off-Topic or Haven so you won't find them unless you really want to find them.
The easiest way to prevent offensive posts and flame wars is by disallowing politically, religiously, or discriminatorily motivated discussion. People may label this as censorship or denying one's right to freedom of speech; but it's not. It is a privilege to post at these forums, not a right. When you violate the rules, you may lose this privledge.
Also, as I've said countless times, you can discuss whatever you want
in private. Talk via PM, e-mail, MSN, whatever. There are plenty of other places on the internet where you can discuss these topics freely. Just keep discussion of controversial topics (especially topics that do not relate to KQIX whatsoever) out of our forums. If you cannot respect this rule, you will suffer the consequences.
Lastly, if you're not sure if something you're going to post will be considered "offensive", don't post it. You're seriously better off safe than sorry. If you see someone else being offensive, click on Report to Moderator rather than stooping to their level and getting involved yourself.
lol, more sliders? :o :o ::) I never seen the series but i think the girl could have stayed a few episodes longer ::) ::) :P
I think they either:
(A) Shouldve developed the romance between her and Quinn beyond 'I like you' in the hopes that her character wouldve gained some depth beyond a street puddle or...
(B) Removed her.
They choose 'B' (I probably wouldve chosen A) 8)
I saw the first episode of Sliders, I really should try watching more of it (though is it true that it was cancelled halfway through or did it jsut die near the end? I can't remember the details).

It's been too ong since I watched the series so I have no clue who
that girl is you're talking about. The only one I still remember by name is Quinn, I also know there was a professor and a girl, but I have no idea who their names were.
I' ve watched every episode of it that was broadcast on the BBC, and they obviously didn't bother acquiring that series because I never saw such an episode (or maybe my mind is blocking it, although I can think of no particular reason why it would do such a thing).
Actually, Maggie wasn't in the first season so she doesn't count as an original character. And, in the last season, they still had Quinn. He was just from a different world and played by a different actor, and (according to the plot) had the original Quinn trapped in his body because they slammed into each other while sliding (they were sliding in opposite directions, but in the same vortex). :scholar:

Jeysie's been on...but she's having some trouble with her DSL...and thus is unable to post hardly at all :(
Jeysie's on DSL now? !!!
Yeah...but for some weird reason, DSL isn't cooperating with some parts of her computer...including the forum...
Jeysie's got DSL! !!!
As soon as she gets it working with her PC, let's continue the party in her honor! :D :P
I don't remember that episode. :(
Did the series ever end(as far as the storyline goes), or did it just....end? ???
Technically, my DSL is working, in that I can do general surfing and downloading. But for some reason I can't do some things like e-mail files or post to some forums/webmail things. It's not my firewalls, since I tried turning them off... but I think I have a guess as to what the problem is, I just haven't had time to check yet.
Peace & Luv, Liz
You can't e-mail files or can't e-mail completely? As for not being able to post in forums or webmail... that has to be a browser issue. But if you didn't upgrade your browser whatsoever, then the only thing I can suggest is clearing your cookies (perhaps those sites stored your old IP and are using some sort of anti-hacker thing to keep you from accessing that account ???).
Anyway, at least you're able to post here! Welcome back! ;D
I guess a better question to ask is if anyone here watched the series finale of it? ;P
E-mail: I can't check or send my AT&T e-mail at all via POP while on DSL. With my alienharmony.com e-mail, I can check messages and send plain text messages fine, but file attachments just won't work. I get a message saying that the connection timed out and was lost.
Web stuff: When I try to access my AT&T mail through webmail, I can view/change folders and messages just fine, but when I try to delete messages it won't work... the browser just times out on the post URL.
And I actually *can't* post on the forums here properly... right now I'm at work, and when I'm at home I have to use dial-up temporarily to post stuff. It's the same problem as the webmail when I'm connected to DSL at home... I hit the post button, and the post URL times out. Yet simply surfing the threads works fine, and I can also do searches.
When I'm dial-up, I can check e-mail and post stuff fine. When I connect with the DSL, that stops working. No changes to my browser have been made. :P
Peace & Luv, Liz
Is your DSL connected to a router?
EDIT: I'm gonna split all these posts to your thread since we're going off topic. :P
It is now, although I was having the same problems when the modem was hooked directly to my computer.
Peace & Luv, Liz
That is really messed up. The fact that you can access certain ports and not others, yet on dial-up everything is fine, makes me think it is a firewall issue. Either software, hardware, ICS, or some combination.
If you're using a router, check the port forwarding stuff and make sure no ports are being blocked. If you're using a software one, disable it. If you're using internet connection sharing... well, I've never used that myself, but you said you tried plugging the modem directly to your computer and it still didn't work, so I'm not sure.
If you've tried everything above and it still doesn't work, contact the ISP's tech support.
The finale of Sliders was like this:
They found the way back to their own world (the one in the first episode, that is, that was taken over by Cro-Mags). The black guy, who's name I forget, decided he would go ahead and see if it was okay to go into. After he went through the portal, the show ended. So we don't know what happened to him or the other people.
Sounds like a decent ending. 8)
Well, that explains a lot doesn't it! ;)
Yonkey:
Well, it turns out it was my software firewall! I use ZoneAlarm, and turning the Local Access setting down to low seemed to do the trick. Though why having both Local and Internet Access to high with dial-up worked fine, but didn't with DSL, I don't really know. Oh, well, the firewall seems to still stealth things quite nicely according to online tests, so it matters not.
I still can't access my AT&T POP e-mail though, but since we'll be dropping the account soon anyway, I suppose it's a non-issue.
Peace & Luv, Liz
I have my Trusted Zone set to Low, and Internet Zone set to medium.
The thing is, you weren't sharing dial-up across a router before, it was plugged directly. With DSL and a router, you're sharing ethernet over an LAN. That alone can affect DNS settings, and other network-related protocols (like NetBIOS).
I still don't get why the POP doesn't work. Perhaps AT&T itself doesn't let you access e-mail if your domain isn't att.net (i.e. a server-side firewall is blocking you).
It's possible on that last... when I try downloading stuff from my AT&T FTP accounts with my FTP program, I get an error "Server policy denies USER command on insecure connection." Looks like I'll have to download my files for porting over dial-up, fooey.
Peace & Luv, Liz
You don't keep a copy of the stuff you upload on your hard disk? :o
I do keep a backup of all the stuff I upload to my sites at alienharmony.com (since I create the sites on my hard drive anyway before uploading them). But my AT&T stuff consists mostly of random stuff for forum postings and whatnot, so I generally don't bother keeping a backup of any of that.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Ahh ok. Well, you don't necessarily need FTP access to access an FTP... :sneaky:
Just move all your files to a publicly accessible part of a website, then connect to that website with DSL and download it all file by file. It's still tedious but at least it'll be faster than downloading by dial-up.
Well, technically the only way I can do that with this particular FTP setup is to create and upload an HTML file that would link to all the files. Might be possible to work with...
Peace & Luv, Liz

Usually, if they block, they block the outgoing (SMTP) mail server, but not the incoming (POP) one. For example, I can receive mails from an account at a provider I've already abandoned a long time ago, but I can't use their server to send messages. Ofcourse, the sending part is now a non-issue, since TB/Linux only uses one SMTP-server. :-\
BTW, router overhere works fine, AFAIK. 8)
Because I'm feeling temporarily egotistical, I've decided to resurrect my thread with a quirky challenge.
Each of you may ask me one question, and I'll answer it to the best of my abilities within what the forum rules allow. ;P
Peace & Luv, Liz
Have you heard of the Doobie Brothers!
Bit of a "yes" or "no" that one!
Sounds vaguely familiar... are they a band or comedy act?
Peace & Luv, Liz
Its a band (not one that I am a particular fan of but its just that is a question I am infamous for asking if anyone wants me to ask a question to test their general knowledge!)
Ah. Fair enough. ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
Anyhoo, I have to go now so I wish you goodnight!
T.T.F.N!
What have you been up to lately? I haven't seen a lot of forum posts from you in quite a while. :-\
Is that your question? ;)
I've just been mostly tired, sometimes busy. Plus I haven't really had much I've wanted to contribute to lately.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Hmmm.....my question is.....what question should I ask? :P (You have to answer it after you suggest it, 'cause I'm not allowed to ask two...)
When you first heard Leonardo's (from TMNT) name on the cartoon, was the first thought that came into your mind "Leonardo da Vinci"(excuse spelling)? :P
Louisiana: Yes. Partly because I know they were all named after artists, partly because I've been familiar with Da Vinci for a long while, and partly because there weren't any other famous Leonardos back in the 80s...
Questie: I'll answer yours when I get home. :)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Did I say when I got home? I meant when I got home plus a week. :P
I think that you, Questie, being the theater fan that you are, should ask me what my favorite musicals are. And I should tell you that my two fave musicals are:
1. Man of La Mancha
Being the pessimistic idealist that I am, I can empathize with Don Quixote's crazy quest to return to the ages of idealistic chivalry and do glorious deeds... all the while pissing off/mystifying all the people who know that all the chances for glory are gone, and no good deed goes unpunished. Yet, he still manages to see the good in people, do some good, and gain a little glory after all... isn't that all any of us can ask?
QuoteHail Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Knight of the Woeful Countenance
Wherever you go
Faced with the foe
They will quave at the sight of the Knight of the Woeful Countenance!
O valorous knight
Go and fight for the right!
And battle all villains that be
But oh when you do
What will happen to you
Thank God I won't be there to see...
2. Annie, Get Your Gun. The story of a strong, independent woman who's the match for any man in skill, but finds that because of that skill she can't get the man of her dreams to fall for her. Something tells me I can relate to that. :P Plus the songs are just fun. The classic "There's No Business Like Show Business", the "no, no sexual tension there!" "Anything You Can Do", the delightfully risque "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly", and my personal favorite...
QuoteA man's love is mighty
He'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun
But they don't buy pajamas
For pistol packin' mamas
And ya can't get a hug from a mug with a slug
Oh ya can't get a man with a gun!
Peace & Luv, Liz
There's a musical of it! :o
Sounds interesting. :D
Unfortunately, I don't know of any place I could possibly see it, on this side of the Texas border. :P
*Googles for info*
To which do you refer? Don Quixote or Annie Oakley?
Peace & Luv, Liz
Don Quixote :)
Honestly, unless there's somewhere to buy a recording of it, I'll probably never see it(well, a long time anyways). :-\
I did a little searching on Amazon...
1970's Movie Version DVD (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001AW11A/qid=1100212603/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-4199080-6500738?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846)
Original Broadway Cast Soundtrack (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005A8KE/qid=1100212603/sr=8-2/ref=pd_csp_2/104-4199080-6500738?v=glance&s=music&n=507846)
I own the soundtrack myself and it's quite fun to listen to. :) I think I saw the movie a while back, but my memory's a little fuzzy. I should watch it again. (Mostly I saw the musical performed locally a couple times...)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Thanks! :D
Man of La Mancha!! (at least, I think that's what it's called...I saw it in my Spanish 1 class in 9th grade)
