---------- 9:08 pm

woops! I got it! Well hmmm... the logo is a little small, but eric did mention that. The logo would definitely look cooler larger, as is right now, looks lost in a blankness of space. The quality on the long sleeve shirt wasn't really what I was expecting. It's more of a tshirt quality in long sleeves, which Eh...
All in all, good start, but lots of versions to be created!
The mug was nice.

Anyways, more clubbin tonight! See if I can hook up with that chickee, or maybe 2 or three! Niet!

Got My ActionTeam Mug Today

My [AT]Mug came in the mail today- pretty sweet! Nice job on the logo Erik- it *kinda* looks faded, but maybe thats just my mug. Can't wait to use it!
Editor Troll's Notes

I tried to properly link to the images I think you guys were trying to post, Based on Johnny's "YEEha" comment, I think I got his correct. And Rudy, well, I went to the website you were linking from and serched for Rudy....

I looked for Aaron, and only came up with HTML Design credits circa 1996, no pictures.... but he did send this fine message to a radio website:



I am very supportive of the idea to open up low power FM transmission
capibilities to communities. This type of radio transmission would greatly
enhance community identity and be a benefit to the American public.




Sheesh, what a nerd, cause he totally wrote that....
More Lay- Offs to come

Yah! I'm experiencing the first layoff my company has gone through this whole time. Apparently our business is finally sucking now, so a whole bunch of people got laid off on the East coast.

Since this is the headquarters, we are the favored child, but to be honest, no one is spared from the head chopping block. So I'll await for any news. tomorrow I'm bring in a CD burner to download some customer information.

YEEha... Round em up boys... dem fellers, ther comin....

FYi, I'm pretty famous in my parallel life, compared to all you losers!



My picture looks the best! I LOVE HMTL AND INRTRAWEB!
So Here Are My Parallel Life Pictures

Both are sweet, and both, according to Google, are Eric Hess:













Oh... one more thing!


How many vote for this as my new picture? It is Michael Anderson according to Google!

Myke
I'll totally be there...

Yayyy! Enron is in town, and as usual, I'm not! Boo! Well, have fun playing Bloodbowl and stuff, I'll just sit here and cry. Aeryk, whatup G? I thought you were going to send me info on the Bloodbowl-over-the-internet software. I'm game to try it out, and we'll see about what ports need to be open to make it run... it's possible, just possible that we might be able to hoodwink the Cambridge server, or, barring that, I could connect to the internet via modem... doh! ..K.. I'...move... block...'m.....4! ....touchdown!!! er... maybe not. Jon, good to see you on the blog, and I'm glad that you have finally found fulfilment in your life. By the way, what is a comma splice?

Rudy, I agree with Johnny that you need to get down with the chicks... let's face it, you're horney, they're drunk, you're with the DJ, they're not... sounds like a recipe for Boo-tay! Barring that you could always come over here, Cambridge girls are easy... yeah right! Speaking of the man Ja-el, way to go! I'm proud of you for being brave and talking to those girlies. I'm sure that had you been the skater guy... things would be different, but, then, I wouldn't like you as much as I do, so don't change! After all, who wants to be a skater loser like that Eric guy?
As far as BBC productions go, I can tell you that there are some pretty stinky ones that you guys never get to see...for instance, there seems to be a national obsession with what I call soap operas (witness Eastenders, and some other show about Aussies) which borders on that expressed in the world of Telemundo. Modelo. Also, the proliferation of 'reality' television, and this strange phenomenon unoffically called 'hangover telly' which takes place on Saturday and Sunday morning involving teeny bop music videos hosted by 'barely legal' teeny bop hosts -- chilling. And then they wonder why everyone is worried about Pediphiles, or was that the Pediatricians? Perhaps you just get to see the culled selection and hence it looks like its all really good. Of course, going the other way, we get to see Friends, Fraser, Buffy, and the Simpsons. I'll let you decide if it works that way too.

So to wrap up, I know that you're all probably interested in where I actually go to University, so I've managed to find a picture for you:

oh yeah

While nobody is caring about what I have to say anyway, I should point out are these Myth books are like the ONE exception to my rule that I get really pissed-off about typos. See, the first printings of every single Myth book has been, without exception, edited in an absolutely shite manner. They are rife with comma splices, easy mistakes, punctuation fuck-ups, and "teh"s. I LOVE IT! I love my precious Myth books.

Oh boy! Aaron!

I can probably make it out on Friday night, but Saturday is dubious as I already have a lot going on. Also, Sunday is the first birthday of Nathan's daughter, and considering I haven't met her yet (and pretty much blew off my one chance for doing so last year) I'm sticking with that plan.

EVERYBODY ELSE: That's fucking great, Jon! How about you go die?

Jon the Boring Blogger
Enron Returns!

That's right kids, Enron is in the hizz-ouse! Which means nothing to most of you cause you are either a) him, b) living in the SF area too, c) already busy this weekend, d) living at Hogwarts (Cambridge), or e) working. Anyhoo, for those that do care, as far as I can tell, Enron is flying in friday night, then we are getting some food and/or a/n drink/s. Then saturday Enron is setting up a network at his papa's, which I will probably help out with, then saturday night, its gamin fever! For two of us anyway! Yay! B. Loodbowlington it is! Another victim!
Nice work Robert

OK, we'll see if blogger even lets me post this. For the last three weeks, whenever I hit "Post & Publish" it pops up a login window asking me to login to my ftp server, giving me some weird login name and asking for a password. I have no idea what it wants, so I always just hit OK. 80% of the time it then proceeds to erase my blog. The other 20%, mysteriously, my blog is published even though it still reports that the login failed. That is great.

Anyway, I just made a happy discovery that absolutely nobody will care about! Ever since I was in, uh, fifth grade I've been into this really cheesy fantasy adventure series called the "Myth" books by Robert Asprin. Not much happens in them, they're pretty silly, but I have a soft spot for them. I dunno. Anyway, books 1-8 came out by the time I was in 7th grade. Book 9 came out in 10th grade. Book 10 came out in my junior year of college, and it ended in a cliffhanger! Literally every time I go to the bookstore, for the last FIVE YEARS, I've gone to the sci-fi section and check to see if anything new is out by this guy. NEVAR! But then on Sunday I go to the bookstore, check the section, and IT'S THERE!

So it cost me fourteen bucks, took me like 6 hours to read it (these books are only like 175 pages long), and wasn't even that great. BUT IT CAME OUT! NEVER FORGET, DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!!!!!
WE got Bush - revenge of the nerds

The die is cast. I've ordered us a hotel room at the luxurious San Francisco Hyatt hotel where the great great KUBLACON is to be held. I've also pre regged, but just to let your imaginations run wild, I was number 1878!! Yes, there are over 1800 con going regular participants, meaning lots and lots of wasted flesh, rotting appendages, and rotten odor! Our room is a double bed - non smoking section, which means lots and lots of homoeroticism in a clean and fresh non-polluted environment! I'm sure Dennis's nice little japanes arse will fit perfectly faced up.... Woah!

I'm sure they have a host of other amenities, such as a spa, pool, restaurant but more importantly is the holy convention that we are to partake in. We shall crusade into the forbidden land!

I just got the DVD set of the BBC's production of Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy. If you have the means, I strongly suggest picking one up. I was a huge fan of the series of books, and the 6 episodes really do the books justice. It is almost how I imagined it, but with the cheese ball BBC production.

Nevertheless, why do most BBC productions that I have seen kick ass over US productions? By and large, television in the US is crap, and the shows that I have seen from the BBC have been really well written and interesting.
In Like Punt

I guess there is some debate on exacly where the phrase "in like flynn" originated, but here was one good one I found:

"Reference books almost universally assert that this set phrase, an American expression meaning to be successful emphatically or quickly, especially in regard to sexual seduction, refers to the Australian-born actor Errol Flynn. His drinking, drug-taking and sexual exploits were renowned, even for Hollywood, but the phrase is said to have been coined following his acquittal in February 1943 for the statutory rape of a teenage girl. This seems to be supported by the date of the first example recorded, in American Speech in December 1946, which cited a 1945 use in the sense of something being done easily. Rudy is the best."

Who knows...

Down for Kublacon

Yes, I am down for Kublacon. I would assume that Denis would be down to go too, he is a trooper when it comes to games and cons. I would like Peter to go, I just don't know his position on money, travel, homoeroticism, etc. If he did go, the dynamics of the drive would change as well - I offered to drive Leslie so she could visit her friends in the SF area while I con it up. With Denis, the drive would be fine, cause his cute little Japanese Arse fits nicely in the back of the truck. Add the large Aryan, Peter, to the mix and we have a truck teeming with bodies that won't all fit. So, we'll see what happens, either way, I am in like Flynn. Hmmm.... I wonder, did the phrase "In like Flynn" originate with the movie Tron when Flynn goes "in" the MCP, or sometime before, referring to Errol Flynn? Perhaps neither, and I made the phrase up myself? I wonder....
Lot's of tyme to blogg

That's awesome that you get hooked up for drinks, but more so with the girls. You should take advantage of that buddy. It's not so much the point to being a sleezy dude, in fact, just the opposite, I hate those kinda guys, but I think the point is to find the girl that may be the one. My mantra is not to miss out on another opportunity.

So at work these days, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands. I'm bored most of the time which is why I blog so much. Anyhow, Aaron, didn't get a chance to talk to you again last night, but if you want to go to the con in february, I'll help you with the costs. Hope you got home safe. Also Eric was saying that he's down for the Kublacon in May (I'll let him tell the story about that), but also were going to try to see if Dennis and Peter are Super troopers. Anyways I'm pretty sure it'll be the three of us at least, Aaron, Eric and Johnny, and that should cover the rooms. We can also extend a free offer to rudy if he'd like to just come up and stay. Let's try to get something definite before the 1st prereg date is up, so that we can all pre-reg, and I'll get the rooms booked.

K fellas, lats!

large racks

Good job Jael. Like yourself, I would have felt quite out of my element in one of those "Irish Pubs" - well, sorta. If I'm with a couple of buddies and they just wanna DRINK, then cool- but if I'm out on the PROWL, screw that! But that's good that you took charge. My friends DJ a club a couple times a month and I always go (free drinks) and the chicks we get at the club are pretty sweet, but I get all shy. Jael, you would CLEAN UP at this place. 31 Flavors and all that! :)

3 Second Movie Review: Minority Report
Much better than A.I. I've got the runs right now, and THEY'RE better than A.I. Anyways, it was a pretty cool flick. It kinda dragged torwards the end, but the first 2/3rds were pretty good. Amazing effects- not surprising. Maybe a little heavy with the Mel Gibson "Payback" BLUE filter at times, but it was forgiveable.
Grade: B or something...

Achtung the triumph

Fellas...Went to a dance club last night and I didn't get home until 5. Why? You will soon find out. But let me say this "Qui es ton pappi?"!!?

Last night, I must say I had a eye opening experience. I felt like the daddy mac and mac daddy all put together in one. I normally don't partake in the nightclub scene. In fact, if you know, as most of you do here, you know I don't go to clubs. And for good reason. One, I don't quite fit in as the white trashy skater crew, nor the pimpin 1000 gold necklace pimp, or the king of hip hop dancin. Second, honestly, the irish *american* pubs just aren't a breeding ground for potential dates for me. The white, blonde brunette all-amerian girl, just doesn't find me, chinese-looking, short, black hair, yellow skin dude attractive. Just reminisce back to the days of Mira Costa.

So one of my friends here in Fremont, asked me to go to this Irish pub with 2 of his friends I never met. Well of course after I met his friends, they were 2 skater lookin dudes typical of your club scenes. When we get there, well it was your usual club scene, the ones I tried to avoid. Of course the night starts out with the thoughts "what the hell am i doing here" and look at my lame friends, theyre big talkers standing there doing nothing. Not dancing, not talking to girls... nothing. Your typical club night with friends.

But this time I decided to take charge. I'm wasn't going to sit there and drink and pretend like we were having a good time. So I decided to try what I have never tried before, the club scene pickup. Ditching my companions, I prowled around the dance floor eagerly trying to locate my victim. I decided to buy a round of drinks and there sat a girl as beautiful as a wall flower. Brown hair, large racks, nice body, ALONE?? I decided to make my move. Went to the bar casually, ordering 4 rounds of drinks (for my friends as well, but more as an excuse). Then I started casually talking to her... and guess what, she has 4 friends! So of course I had to bring in the best looking of my friends and we started dancing all together.

The story doesn't end quite as well as it started. Well as it turns out, the girl I was lusty after... well she liked my friend. But that's cool man.. All's fair in love and war. I'm no player hater nor a shot blocker. So at the end of the night, I got a few numbers, primarily from this blonde friend of hers. I ended up dancing with her all night including one slow dance where I pressed up fairly close to her.

Nice night... I made something of it. The guys I went with proclaimed me "with Bravery and Prowess" despite the truth is relatively to their INACTION.

But one thing is certain, had it been my element, or had I been a skater lookin dude, I would have scored for sure on this chilly night.

I don't know if I will call them. They are not my type.
