Marc Flake Oscar® Winner	The whole family is headed out west to visit my Mom in the Texas Hill Country. We'll be hiking, cooking out and having a BIG Easter Egg hunt on Sunday. There'll be 10 soundtrack CDs in the mommymobile CD changer as we drive through what once was Comanche territory. Six CDs will be Western in nature: "Round-up" and "Happy Trails," from Kunzell; "Lonesome Dove;" "Best of the West;" and two Australian Westerns -- "Quigley Down Under" and "Man from Snowy River."

Wedge Oscar® Winner	Lessee ... church, church, church, school, church, school and more church. First of all, Orthodox Easter (or Pascha) is the week AFTER Catholic Easter (we calculate Easter by the original calendar so we never celebrate Easter before the Jewish Passover ... sometimes it matches up with the Catholic/Protestant celebration, sometime it doesn't.) This means we start services this Saturday (the Saturday of Lazarous) then have services twice or thrice daily until next Sunday (our Easter.) Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It's the most wonderful time of the year for my church. We consider the spiritual rewards worth the physical and mental exertion. And on top of that, it's the last week of classes and exams and I have a million papers to do. I may implode.

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	My observance of Resurrection Day begins today (the first day of Passover). Tonight I will participate in a footwashing service, followed by a common meal very much like the Last Supper. It is a very solemn service, recalling the final hours of Jesus prior to His death on the cross. Sunday morning at 5:30 AM, Resurrection Day services begin with a triumphant Sunrise ceremony. It is a truly joyous time for the body of Christ, celebrating the very first Resurrection ever to occur! The first of many! Then we go to my mother's house to pig out on her sumptuous Resurrection Day FEAST! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Wow, well... sounds like everyone has a pretty good plan. I plan on attending an awesome Easter service on Sunday and spending time w/ my family afterwards, celebrating all the appropriate things. I know that must sound pretty bland compared to some of you, but hey... it works for me. Jeron

dex Oscar® Winner	I'm heading down to the Bay Area with my mom and two sisters to visit friends and family. We used to live there, but moved to Northern California a few years back. I'll probably take in some movies while I'm done there. Looking forward to seeing "U-571." (Course, I'd look forward to seeing "Friday the 13th, Part 357" as long as Bill Paxton was in it.) Remember when we were kids and we'd have those exciting Easter egg hunts in the back yard? But it seems kinda of ridiculous to still do it in your 20s though, hu?

JoeInSanDiego Oscar® Winner	As I am not a religious person, I will not be "celebrating" much of anything...except an exciting day of filming!!! And perhaps anxiously awaiting a call-back for a new job...as the one I currently have has become intolerable. NP - The London Sessions Vol. 3 (Delerue)

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	I figure it'll be my daily routine: drown some puppies, drink some hydrochloric acid and spew blood into jars, to save for my Hell Paintings, skin-pop some speedballs, go out and find people to beat up (this is why I live in a city, lots of people to beat up, all over the place!), arrange for more puppies to be delivered, drink a fifth of grain alcohol mixed with unsweetened Kool-Aid, and pass out in an alley someplace. (This is why I need the puppies to be delivered.) (Kudos to anyone who gets the Hell Paintings reference.) [This message has been edited by H Rocco (edited 20 April 2000).]

Cole Oscar® Winner	lol Oh I just love the diversity here. hopefully my car can be fixed tomorow (friday) so that I can make the drive home to see my family for easter. my battery or alternator has problems. if I make it home I plan to ruin easter for my parents by being the venerable "black sheep" of the family. I probably wont even have to try - it just happens because I am there. and then my mother and I will have a big fight and she will tell me that I should come home from college because I really dont care about it and that I should get a job and live with them untill I grow up and decide to stop throwing away their money and my future because thats all I am doing being in nashville pursuing a career in music and not even giving the benefits of school the benefit of the doubt and not trying and probably failing out because I dont care andf I stay out too late and sleep too late and have done everything in my life just too late and...oh did I mention easter eggs

joan hue Oscar® Winner	Why is it that I get the strange feeling that should one be in Brooklyn, one should NOT just "drop in" on H Rocco. Would hate to put a damper on such an interesting routine. So when do we get to hear the reference (allusion?) to Hell Paintings?
posted 04-20-2000 09:54 PM PT (US)

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Frankly, Mom, I was personally SHOCKED to learn that there is such a thing as "Unsweetened KOOL-AID"! I'm still not convinced that H Rocco is telling the TRUTH about it!
posted 04-20-2000 10:03 PM PT (US)

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Oh, Christopher, you and your pesky "truth." Awright, it's NOT "unsweetened Kool-Aid," although you CAN get that pretty much anywhere. No, I mix it with Crystal Light, which in the final analysis (including chemical) is pretty much the same thing. I doubt anyone's going to get the Hell Paintings reference, it's even more crazily obscure than many I make -- but not one English-readers need necessarily be unaware of ... hint: Hideshi Hino and Screaming Mad George (hell, that's not a hint, that gives the whole thing away) NP: "Destroy The Monsters" (strange Japanese remix of various Godzilla themes, many of them by acid-rock bands) P.S. I didn't even tell you what I do to the puppies before I drown them, but hey! this is a FAMILY board! [This message has been edited by H Rocco (edited 20 April 2000).]

joan hue Oscar® Winner	Hideshi Hino. What a give away. Well, that's a great hint, and I still DON'T HAVE A CLUE. Guess that eliminates Shakespeare and Hemingway. Folks, this is obviously what happens to people who watch too many Desperate Living flicks and who forget to sugar their Kool Aid. (Or maybe they acid their Kool Aid.)

Onelegger Oscar® Winner	I will be going to church, working, and playing music at the same time. Easter is great not only because of the religious implications, but because I usually get paid for playing some hokie dokie church hymns in some not-so-good choir or orchestra. This year sets a new record for me with a one day intake of $175. WhooHoo, now I can buy about 5% of all that stuff I want. Oh Well.

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	Well, I'm off in a couple of hours, venturing into some kind of deserted forrest land in the mountains... hope they have some trolls there. Anyway, I'll be gone for a few days. When I return, I probably have a lot of work to do and shall stop by only sporadically. Take care, everybody, whatever your confession, have a good Easter season!

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Ahhh, Rocco! You wouldn't go around beating people up if your life depended on it. And nobody could PAY you enough to drown a puppy! The grain alcohol part might be true. And I did find that unsweetened Kool Aid at the store...(I really don't have a lot of experience with Kool Aid.) Onelegger...you actually make MONEY over the Easter holiday? CHEESH! I gotta sing three songs this weekend, and I'm doin' it for FREE! Must be goin' to the wrong church. Of course, we don't do BINGO...

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	Work on Saturday. Sunday morning sunrise service. I have really enjoyed those Services in the Wichita Mts. Refuge in Lawton, OK. Starts at 3 AM til sunrise. All the good songs before are excellent and the whole thing is acted out with people speaking at a different location. Its in the valley in Jerusaleum and other location sets with spotlights on each site for each scene. Quite spectacular if you don't freeze in the Mts. Sometimes the wind and rain will get you too. Been to three or four over the years. Best, John.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Christopher, I'm not sure it's even LEGAL to buy grain alcohol in New York ... we have such specific and obscure blue laws, and the only place I've actually seen the stuff for sale was in a carniceria (sp?) in Chicago. Just reading the label will kill the weaker-willed among us, never MIND what happens when you add the (non)sweetener. ND: working on a black Labrador now, I tend to order up the bigger puppies these days, as they take more time to soak and struggle a lot more, hence provide a splendid upper-body workout. The NYPD is asking me again to join them, you know, so I need to work on those biceps.
