will smith's dating tips; andromeda

[amezri]

There was nothing else one, so I stopped on Oprah After the Show and the cast of "Hitch" was on. They were talking about dating, of course, and an audiance member asked how much information is too much to give on a date. Will Smith's answer was pretty amazing. Actually, I'm pretty impressed with how intelligent the guy is. Anyway, these are Will Smith's tips for the first three dates:

Date 1: Illuminate & Communicate - spotlight what you like best about yourself. try to work that into the date somehow. (ie, if you're a good bowler, have the date at the bowling alley.) Don't monopolize the conversation. Try to keep it balanced. Eva chips in with, "it's like trying to sell a house." Which they all agreed with. Heh.

Date 2: Exchange & Range - this is when you get a bit more personal. Share stories about yourself and your family or whatever. That will probably encourage the other personal to share similar experiences. That's the exchange. To show range meaning you'd be just as suited to hanging out at home on the couch as you would be attending a fancy dinner party.

Date 3: Keep It Real - letting all the "leak pipes" show, as it were. Personal habits and quirks that you can't hide and will come out eventually - you might as well lay them on the line here. He says that around the third date you should have an idea if you could be in a relationship with this person and vice versa. No need to pretend to be perfect and spend 5 months with a person before you finally realize you can't deal with them. Makes good sense.

Interesting stuff.

So... I'm watching an episode of Andromeda and since I've only ever seen a handful of season1 and 2 episodes... I'm totally lost. Anyone on my flist able to to just explain what the deal is with Becca being the Nietzchian matriarch? Because.. I totally don't get it. Also.. where did Doyle come from? She's a droid like Romy, right? Also... what is Trance's deep dark secret?

Randomly: Hey! Steven Bacic! :D I met him at I-CON! And had no idea who he was, but I got a hug because we presented him with a SG-C.net plaque XD Still need to get those photos from Zippy... or Dion.. or whoever has them because HUG! From SG-2 team leader! :D

ok, i think after season 4, it was, that Andromeda was totally reset. if you're seeing any eps now, any new ones, then i unfortunately can't help you because i'm totally lost. but yea, at the end of that season, they did the bastard scifi thing that i hate -- killed everyone off except dylan, and on his way to the light, they decided to let him do it all over again, so it's back to the beginning, except none of them ever met him, because he wanted them to have "normal" lives. of course, gotta keep it going, so at the point where they don't know him, he decides that his reunification still has to be done, so he went looking for them again to reunite the peoples.

truth be told, i got lost when they changed Trances...no idea why she's orange now instead of purple and sans tail (i believe that the simple explanation is that it's a different Trance altogether) and you sort of found out what Trance was at the climactic "end", but then, since we're starting all over again, gotta have more character development, so you only sorta got to find out what the hell she really was/is...

not like any of this helps, but maybe it'll make you not feel so bad that you don't get it... :p

WOW. That is... really confusing. I think I saw the episode where they switched Trances, but I can't remember. Andromeda's a really cracked out show, isn't it? XD

well i used to love it, but we didn't get wgn at school, so once i started going to school, i only saw it when i came home, and for awhile (frosh & soph) year, i was either watching it at home or it was being taped for me, but then there was the Trance switching, and then this past season (the one before the one running now) they did the real crazy stuffs. and i've been lost for about the last two seasons, not inc this one which i can't even BEGIN to figure out...

cracked out, definitely. but in the best way.

Yes! Not too much longer to go. Can't wait for new Atlantis.

You know... usually I wouldn't care that there will be new SG-1... but BEN BROWDER! And Claudia, of course :D

[arysani.livejournal.com]

i know! that's the reason i started watching the middle-end of the last season, because i wanted to know where everything was gonna be at when ben & claudia showed up *g*

and naturally, i can't wait for more of my lovely dr. smarmy mcsnarkypants *giggle*

[amezri.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's sort of the reason I got back into SG-1, too. Heh. Oh the things we do for Ben & Claud ;)
