quick, quick, fall. quick, quick, steponfeetouch.
Time for fun-filled days! I made a reservation for ye olde con. Three nights since that's what people seem to want or, at least, people aren't saying anything. If people do NOT want to stay one of the nights (Sunday, I guess) then please let me know and I will cancel that night ASAP. If everybody isn't interested in staying then I'm not interested in staying.
Aeryk! If you're gonna tell me to invite people over, then change the plan at the last minute, you gotta let people know. Gotta have the 411. Gotta have the info.

review: DareDevil
Watched this modern-day masterpizza- sucked prettttty bad. It was SO bad. Not nearly as bad as Batman and Robin, but fuck- SO POINTLESS. Yes, I can't stand Ben Alfak, but it wasnt even about him being so unwatchable- the action was crap, the story was super-crap, and I'm sorry, but that chick from Alias just aint cute, IMHOPSAHJDKSNAWUAL. Just a total stupid movie. Spiderman was so much better, omg. And some of the CG was SO bad- fucking LAZY movie people- learn how to film stunts again. FAWK! Saw Phone Booth recenty too- jesus, pretty bad.
Grade: B

Screw that! You can get twice that...
by exploiting the 3rd world countries... 20 dollas can get you 4 TH's and so by spending 600 bucks for airline tixs, you'll have 1400 left for goodies. Forget the tips. You don't need them there.
Oh, by the way, you should probably spend the 60 bucks to take the car to a professional mechanic and get his advice on the car. My uncle used to help people with that at his shop. Old cars are good, especially benzs, like aaron said, german cars are designed fairly well. However, certain things always need checking, Shocks, alternators, sparks, brakes, timing belts... you never know.

eggciting news!
interesting stuff on those mercedes enron! ya- i'm pretty afraid of buying a used car- i was just reading some buying guides and there seems like SO MUCH to look out for, cuz it seems like you can get pretty scammed/fucked by the whole thing. Ya man- I want a friggin Benz though- those 70s ones look really cool- the few i saw listed were around $2k, automatic, and supposedly in good condition. I was thinking, since their benz's, repairs would probably be real pricey and sucky- i guess i'll just have to be real thourow (how the fuck do u spell that worD???) with my research. thx for the info though.

Hmmmm....
Old Mercedes are pretty reliable. Its just, like most German cars, repars and maintanence can be very expensive. You might want to check what kind of engine it is. most of the older ones are Diesel. Diesel is a mixed bag. Better milage but more stench/particulate matter. Less fueling stations and typically more expensive fuel (but not always.. it really Depends on market fluctuations). They are LOUD; on the otherhand, diesel engine will drive forever, which is why a lot of the older mercedes on the road are diesel.
Yeah IKEA is cool, if not a overly generic. Bang for the buck is pretty high, but you have to be alert there, some of the stuff is not long for life. The fight club scene with the IKEA furniture is pretty tight. That was a pretty darn good movie. I gotta watch that again.
Go go gadget wire management! In what little down time we have at work, I have been embarking on an ambitious endeavor of cord management. This lab gives new meaning to spaghetti. "Dear lord, I have never seen such giganticism in a scrotum" I mean giganticism in wire heaps. Messy. Yeah fun ME!

you are by far the most interesting one serving friend I have met
Clever movie. Fight Club is what I am referring to. The plot and ending are somewhat gay, but I found the dialogue fairly intelligent. The man's relelations is thoughtful and crisp. The part on IKEA was sheer brilliance. IKEA furniture by the way is the only thing I buy nowadays. Cheap, cookie-cutted, yet stylish and elegant. The essence of the 20th century. Aren't all of our lives similar, pumped out of "the factory"? consider... it starts from elementary school, then.. junior high... then high school... after.. college... after... we work. We work only until we've saved enough to retire... get married, and the cycle continues in an endless doldrum.
Jon, enjoy salsa!
Things I Like at this moment (a twist on erics take)
Permanent Markers (black): Possibly the best and most versatile writing util. It's great. You can write anything and it's permanent! I can think of a million uses, write on boxes to be shipped, initialing on your water bottle so yours won't get mixed up with others, write movie titles on blank DVDs you've duplicated, great to smell and much much much more! wow
Watermelons: Glorious juicy fruit, the only fruit that really carries the water content that you body needs to live on. Besides cactus, I think watermelons are the only other plant that carries it's percentage of water content. Fuck apples, pears, peaches, grapes... Also a good secret terminology for growing hemp.

Elrock: I was in a Rhetoric & Writing class down in San Diego. I was a junior in a freshmen class (Go Aaron with forgettting to take this basic class my first year). This one 'Barbie Doll' freshman lady said "Like" with in the same 2 minute comment 56 times. I was instantaneously astounded at the brilliance of her comments. I kept thinking to myself that the professor was going to stand up and smack her across the face. But it never happened for me. Too bad. SDSU was the worst for idiot speak
Jon: My coworker is a Salsa nut. He just went to the Puerto Rico World Salsa conference a few weeks ago. Personally, I dont dance; so, Salsa just doesnt do it for me.
Ja -eL: Road trip it is. If at all possible I would like to try and get out even a couple hours early. I know I could swing it, but I do not know about Aimey or You. I was just going to come in an hour early and skip lunch/breaks.
Rude: I donno what to tell you. 2000 is not a lot of trash to purchize a car. Time to hit the recycler.
MotorByke: *Aaron turns the key*... Where is the pee? fuck'r!
Ry: You out of that joint yet? No need to torture yourself at that place... Tell your room mates where they can shove it.

Things I Hate, a List by Eric:
- The word instantaneously. When anyone uses this word, it makes them sound very 3rd grade. Someone in my office just used it on the phone and sounded so lame.
- When people use the phrase, "It's like (insert statement here that kinda sounds like an internal monologue)". Example: "I was driving down the 405 and the traffic was so bad, it's like, gimme a break!" C'mon people, let's use something a bit more illustrative. Say traffic was bad, say you hate traffic, liken it to sitting in a parking lot, but don't take the "it's like" way out of things. It's like, c'mon people! Also, used by someone on the phone in the office, actually the same person.
- Words or phrases that people either come up with that morning, or hear somewhere else that morning, or decide to re-insert into their vocab that morning, and then use all day long in every conversation that day. Example: (on phone) "Boy, we are just swamped over here! I've been driving all over God's green earth like a banshee the past couple of days trying to get things done with this company I'm starting. It's like, gimme a break!" I am guilty of this too, as we all are at times, but I think saying, "I had an AWESOME time" is okay for some reason. Also, used by someone on the phone in the office today. Repeatedly, and instantaneously.
- Some other things.

Salsa is hard.
I went with Jon T. to a salsa club tonight. There was a little lesson up front. The music and dancing were SO COOL, the girls were SO HOT, I sucked SO FUCKING BAD. Ohhhh. I don't exactly understand why I like salsa so much. It's just fucking cool looking but it's really goddamn frustrating to learn. Arrgh!
I'll probably head to the Torrance Marriot this Saturday... I'm becoming obsessed.

anyone selling a sweet car for $2000.00?
My car is officially "totalled" and the value of my car is about $2400.00. I know I have a $500 deductible with my insurance company, so I assume I'll be getting a little under $2k for all my worries. What would you guys do? Should I look for a used car priced around 2k or should I look into buying another new car - i hate car payments.
in somewhat maybe good news, i've probably got a second interview with Technicolor this week! Its in Glendale, I live in Los Angeles. Its 20 minutes from my house by car, about an hour by bus. Fuck.
-fuck me very much, thx!

Damn magical ritual...
Edited: P.S I've been eating spagetti for 3 days straight now. Still only shit...
Where do we go and get this? My Ninja could use a ritual on Burning Hands. It would complement well with his disfigured form. That way I should also buy a magical canister of bottomless hot water in complements to 10 oil flasks.
The perfect storm a walkout?! OMG... You should be rightly shot
hmm.... my only explanation for that is watching a movie at home is probably more tolerable than watching a movie in the movie theatre. Maybe it's because there's less tendency to outrightly turn off the tube. At the theatre, I guess there is more expectation. While I don't think The perfect storm would win any oscar awards, or the best adventure movie of the year, quite honestly it wasn't that bad either. Anyhow.

beware the magic burn-hands!
I didnt quite follow that part of the description- I poured some hot water on my hands this afternoon when I was making pasta- in this fantasy world, would my hands be suddenly enchanted? Hmm...
The Perfect Storm. Jon smartly walked out before the end. Jp and I made the painful mistake of sticking it out. OMG. Gotta say that was one of the worst flicks I've ever seen. Worse than Giggly. :)

Old School Rocks
That was a pretty funny movie. Especially when the guy goes streaking solo, thinking that others would follow by example through the quad. Oh also memorable quotes such as "your seatbelts broken. What do you recommend i do" and the taxi cab driver replies "I reccomend you quit being such a faget..". Also when the other guy meets the daughters boss after he sleeps with her.. "I'm so proud of her... she's going to graduate from high school" .. d'oh.
So... thanks for all the inputs fellas... points well taken, and actually most of which I had already considered but sort of ignored not being able to bear the thought of returning to work and face lame shit. i guess quitting prematurely does seem a little half-baked. It would certainly be nice to have some income while studying through the GMATS and certainly until I get accepted somewhere at least.
I also saw "the perfect storm" not too bad actually. I rate it a B. George clooney was pretty good.
Aron - that's cool... actually i was actually factoring being jobless and able to take off early friday. But now that I've recouped some sense, er... i don't think i can get off early either. What say we begin our trek after work?

Ice Lee with the MBA (Master of Booty Access)
Ah, Business school, huh? That’s an interesting plan, and if you want to go that route, then I think you should do it! I still don’t think you should quit your job. Getting into business school is even more long- and time-consuming than getting into college, and you’ll definitely want to have income during that process. Matt just went off to business school (MIT, again), and that process involved about a year of continuous effort. I believe that you also will need references for business school, in which case it’s good to stay in good with yo’ boss.
He also only got into, I believe, two of the schools he applied to, out of around fifteen. Jon Tong also applied to business schools. I don’t think he got into any, and he worked at the -World Bank-.
I’m not saying not to go for it! I’m just saying it’s not a fast or guaranteed process, and you’ll like having money just in case you should, oh, decide you want to take a girl out at some point during the process. You don’t want to be like the guy in “Half-Baked” who has to steal change from a homeless man’s cup just to keep his ice cream date going.
Old School
I agree with Eric and Rudy! This is a day of almost unprecedented harmony and agreement! It is a C+/B- movie, with many A- or even A moments!
My favorite dumb movie quote is from Zoolander, an otherwise terrible movie: “Just because we’re really really good-looking doesn’t mean we can’t not die in a freak gasoline-fight accident.”
Arcana Unearthed (long and geeky)
I love this book. I have read every single word up until page 114, even the skill descriptions.
It inspired me so much I even bought a new set of dice. Of dice! I have so many dice already! (Well, did, until Eric gave them all to Aaron.)
Eric covered a lot of what I like, but there’s more cool stuff:
--The shit is modular: There are no “rogues, but named sneakmasters” or “barbarians, but named rage maniacs” to be found. You really could mix all these classes with basic 3rd ed. Even the ones that initially seem similar turn out to be much different.
--Shitloads of customization. 3rd ed made characters more unique, this continues it.
-There are a greater number of interesting feats to choose from. One of my favorites involves a ceremony where you ritually pour scalding water on your hands. Thereafter, you may treat them like enchantable weapons so you can have craftsmen give them bonuses, elemental damage, and so on. I can think of many feats which, by themselves, give a character an interesting twist.
-The classes themselves tend to be more customizable. For example, the Witch class consists of 6 subtypes which are all radically different; the Champion and Totem Warriors all have subtypes and rules for creating new subtypes.
--Almost every single feat, class, race, and even some weapons has potential “plot hooks” built into it. I have already imagined many adventure ideas.
--Supar, dupar-great spell system:
-Spell levels are subdivided into simple, complex, and exotic spells. Spellcasters are always able to cast simple spells, but may or may not know the complex sets. The exotic spells are very rare and you usually have to take a feat to learn that spell. --No healing bitch. Many healing spells are simple spells. This means that any caster can fill a healing role, although healing is generally less powerful than in standard 3e.
-In addition to the modified power levels Eric described, you can also learn spell templates. For example, learning the War template allows you to cast a spell 2 levels higher to increase the number of targets; the Enemy Bane template lets you pick an enemy race (Iraqis, etc.) and automatically do 50% more damage when targeting those enemies.
--No alignment. Alignment is really built into 3rd ed (consider all the alignment-based spells and class powers). In Arcana Unearthed, it ain’t. You are who you are. I like that.
--There is just so much other cool shit.
Really makes me feel like playing D&D. Ah, I wish we’d gotten to the parts where we got into what your visions meant, and I even had a plotline for when you guys were about 12th level... Brother Simon was really going to have a chance to either shine or totally go up shit creek.
And the next adventure, in Nightsea and past the Starry Gate, was going to be really cool! As it was written, you could have either blazed through it in five minutes or spent an entire night on it. I was really looking forward to seeing how it went. Ah well.
Sorry if I made Eric sad.

On friday, I can get out early I think, but I dont think I can take the whole day off. Maybe I can get off at 1 or 2 pm. Would that work? Give me input. In other points.... Johnny, be wise man, get accepted somewhere before quitting. Being unemployed is cool for about a week and then you start thinking,"Wait a minute, I hate this." Especially in this market. There is a reason I am still working the same job :(
Elrock is sooooooo right! Splash screens suck ass. I mean how often do you get frustrated at splash screens on games? Well how about splash screens on a much more bandwidth limited machine. Agony. Besides they just do not add anything to the site. Its a "look at me" my site is soooo cool because I have money that I will throw to the wind. Motto to live by: Form AND Function.
Sorry about the typo JahN o-eater-sun. Happy fingers make for quick typing, lots'o mistakes.

What do you mean by "Viral marketing/movie/album sites" ? I don't get. The other stuff, ya I got it. I dont really like splash screens either and I usually try to bookmark somewhere IN the site to avoid them.
Last question ever: How do i load new fonts on my comp? I d/l'd all those ones I was talking about, but I dont know where to put them (and there arent any instructions.) For each font theres a PSType1 folder and a Truetype folder- I know on Macs, I'd put them in my System folder, but I aint too sure about for Win XP. Ya, thax right. i figurin it out, thx newayz!.

Splash Screens Are For the Birds
They are legacy website design creations. During the boom, splash screens showcased 2 things: 1) How great and expensive the designer of the site was and how they knew how to use Flash, and 2) How expensive and great the designers that the company employed to make their website were. They are good for ONE TIME ONLY and then they are annoying and a waste of bandwidth, and time. Thx God for the "Skip Into" Buttons.
However, if your site is so cutting edge that it changes all the time, a splash page with a whats new section could be interesting I think. Of course dumping the viewer to an updates/news page is just as good with no extra-clicks.
Maybe a rotation of images displayed randomly, or something like that could make a splash page useful too, but I think they should go the way of the dinosaur and the Aztecs.
Viral marketing/movie/album sites are a different story though, those follow different rules.

ryan's just hip to the fact that those black bars in "wide screen" cutoff the top and bottom of the picture. whatta rip!
bonus cup bonus: HEER is a cool site for this artist from Brazil- anyways, he makes his own fonts, and theres a bunch of pretty cool ones - freeware at that. Mostly pretty gritty and "dark", but fuck- if youre into fonts and shit like that, do it! i grabbed all the freebies. Now I'm gonna go type with them... :/
Bonus Question: Whattayou's guys think about SPLASH SCREENS ? I see a TON of websites with them now- when u put in the URL you get a Picture- you click the pic, then youre actually "in" the site. Im not the biggest fan, but WHY are they so popular, and should I put one on my site? Tell me plz mmk.

Other Points of Light
- Old School is a classic IMHO. Will Ferrell is THE comedy act of the past 5 years IMHO. From Turd Ferguson to Dog Show to that teeny-tiny spot in the DVD menu of Zoolander, the guy is just funny. Plain and simple. Hilarious moments from Old School: Ear Muffs followed by "Cock! Balls!", the Master of Puppets abduction scene, the "You're crazy, you're crazy, man." scene with the dart in the neck, "I had an AWESOME time!", "Fill it up aGIN'! It just tastes so good once it touches your lips!", and others. I own the widescreen. Ryan owns the fullscreen, but we won't get into that right now....
- Made was absolutely painful. Terrible perfomance by both actors. Terrible story, everything just reeked. Vince was SOOOO over the top bad.
- Mike?
- The new alternative players handbook Arcana Unearthed by Monte Cook is really really good. From what little I have read and from what I have heard from Jon, the some of the good parts are as follows (that I can think of, I'm sure Jon can add to and elaborate on): True names - everyone has a true name (kinda like demons from first ed.) and some spells will only work on you if your true name is known to the caster. Both good and bad spells are effected, which means that you need to trust whom you share your name with cause they can help you out as well as hurt you. Neat idea. Race Levels - you can choose to take levels of either your class, or of the race you are (not all races). So you can be a better fighter, or you can be a better giant, your choice. Neat. Spells - Each new spell has a weak and strong version of it. If I understand correctly, you can cast a 4th level spell using either a 4th level slot for normal effect, a 3rd level slot for a weakend effect, or a 5th level slot for an enhanced effect. Neat. Monks dont Suck - monks suck in 3e. The Oathsworn are way cooler. At certain levels they can choose not to eat, sleep, breathe, or even die! And their AC bonus at 8th level is better than +1..... stupid monks.....

MBA
Good luck!
How long have you been in a professional position? I only ask because everyone that I know that has pursued an MBA had been either in a senior position, executive position, or in a professional corporate environment for at least 3 years. I would LOVE to work towards an MBA, but I don't think I would ever get accepted into any program until I at least get some management experience under my belt. Heather just graduated from Andersen (UCLA) and she has been a senior consultant at Deloitte and Touche for the past 5 years, and Wayne is still attending Cal Poly SLO and he was an account executive for a dotbomb (buyproduce.com). True, he probably moved through the ranks faster than he should have due to the dotbomb climate, but still, he had the title.
All I'm saying is that you should protect yourself and keep your job until you are accepted to any MBA program. I would hate to see you ditch a paying job with the hopes that you will get accepted, and not be for whatever reason.

more booty, assholes!
is that what MBA stand for? HA! Im so frikkin funny. =(
I saw that movie Old School the other day- it was pretty fuckin funny! You know, all 3 guys were pretty funny: Luke Wilson was the total "aw shucks!" straight-guy, JUST like his brother- its charming but SHEESH- comeon Wilson's- try somethin new! Vince Vaughn was pretty awesome with his whole asshole-character (like from Swingers, but not as bad as in Made - omg, that movie sucked SO bad. Vince Vaughn was SO OBNOXIOUS in Made, it was seriously painfull to watch.) And then Will Farrell is just completely nuts- oh man, seriously- its worth a rent. Some real funny moments and even though looking at the trailers and posters I though "no way those 3 can be funny together" they actually have pretty good chemistry and its pretty good. NOT PERFECT, but waaaaay better than i ever imagines. Grade: Solid B.

it's not all quite as clear cut as you guys put it
My reason to quit is to Pursue an MBA degree.
Admittedly though, if I had an opportunity as a product manager, I would not consider going to get an MBA. Which makes me think that if I was quitting as a last resort.... but it is not. Since it seems my chances of getting a product manager job is none, the current job i'm doing is mainly filled with poo poo work (an endless supply of it, seemingly) and won't advance my career at all.
As far as looking for another job, i'm not... I will a little as a side deal and will take it only if I find it satisfies my criterea but I think my new focus is to get that MBA degree and begin preparing for it.
my boss is out of town till thursday... so i guess it's postponed till then.

get yourself laid-off! it will either be like the movie Office Space, where you'll get promoted and you'll end up going out with Brad Pitt's wife, OR you'll be able to collect unemployment, which while only being a percentage of what you were making, at least it would be a little something to grease the wheels (although you might lose a nice reference from your current job- but if you just up and quit, you also might be losign that nice reference anyways.)
Added: Theres a funny short post at Neal Pollack called "Mel Gibson versus The Jews"
HERE
Its about Mel Gibson's weird new Jesus movie that hes only screened for other hardcorps prayer-warriors and which is all in Latin and Aramaic and supposedly lays all the blame for poor Jesus's death on the Jews.
--Jesus performs the loaves and fishes miracle. He passes the food out to the crowd. Some Jew complains that he didn't get enough food. Jesus tells him to share with the less fortunate. "The service here is horrible!" says the Jew. Mel Gibson, playing himself, walks in front of the camera and says, "That's what Jews are like, people. Don't let them kill Christ again."
Purty funny.

2nd and 3rd That
I concur with (surprisingly) both Jon and Rudy on this one. We all don't like our jobs particularly, we all need money, we all have to work. Last I heard, unemployment in our glorious country was 6% or something like that, which does not bode well for finding a new job! As far as tech companies go, Cisco is the only one that has gone on record as saying that the tech slump of the past years is over, they said this right before reporting losses last quarter, which also does not bode well for finding a job in the tech field. Your call, you know your life and your finances and your job and your ability to get a new one better than all of us put together, but I think we all feel the same way about jumping off the deep end with no floatation device.
If you are scared of getting fired and want to quit, don't. If you are in love with some vacation hiking girl and think everything will be fine if you quit, it won't (unless she is RICH RICH RICH). If you hate your job and feel that it is going nowhere and feel the only way out is to quit, don't. You should throw your line out into the water and start fishing for more work. It NEVER hurts to look, nor to have a plan to fall back on. And if nothing else, if you are SURE you are quitting your job one way or another and are not going to be looking for any reference from your boss in the future (which it looks like you might not be), dick around at work for a while while you look elsewhere, take the paycheck, don't work, and get a job some where else.
Wow. How longwinded and repetitive and unhelpful.
Don't QUIT!
GL rudy @teh interveiw!!1! plz, thx

that was some funny shit jon. niiice riiiot. ya jael- becareful bro- maybe start shoppin yourself around before you get all loco and quit. on some MAYBE hopeful news for me, I have an interview with Technicolor this coming tuesday- i have a friend who works there that they really like, and my old crap-boss used to manage the place (and as much as he is suck, he still said hed give me a positive reference, fucker.) So, wish me luck guys, thx.

humanity point of the day
From The Book of Ratings:
I don't know much about M. Bison, mostly because I can't get to him in the game, but I do know that Raul Julia portrayed him in the Street Fighter movie and then died. That's how tough M. Bison is, he can kill even the people portraying him.
Poor, poor Raul Julia. Didn't he have some good roles?
Where the fuck is Motorbike?

resign?
Whoa Johnny! I think you should think twice before out-and-out resigning. It's awfully difficult to find a job these days. -Especially- in your area. Trust me, it can be tough to pay the rent after a couple of months with no dough. You may feel flush right now, but it's better to hold onto your nest egg in case of a real emergency. We are getting to the age where we need to start putting actual money in the bank. And if you resign, you aren't eligible for unemployment. When I was job-hunting, that was the only thing that kept me paying the rent (and I still got into some financial trouble).
Another important factor is that a lot of employers do not like to see on a resume that you left a place "just because." No matter how much spin you put on it, if you leave a job abruptly, that is how they are going to view it. If you apply while you're still employed, you are better off for three reasons: 1. you have a fall-back plan in case things don't work out; 2. you don't look like a flake who will just up and quit a job; 3. you are in a better position to negotiate for your pay--after all, you technically don't -need- the job.
I know there are times when quitting just sounds awesome, but it is really, really not a good idea to split without a plan.
convention
On to better things!
I wouldn't mind doing Friday and Saturday night only, or Saturday/Sunday night only. I know it's only another $25-30 but that's $25-30 I'd rather spend on gaming materials or crack. Since Eerik is likely to not be around Sunday night anyway (sad, but true) that might be the best way to do it.
I guess what I'm saying is I'm still undecided/undeclared.
Enron... you mispelled "can't skip" as "can skip." That had me seriously confused. :)

The Lactation Team
hello gang! First a few squirts on the haps on my vacation:
It's been a darn good week. The week started with some hiking around berkeley, then some mountain biking during the weekdays, and as a finale, went to brentwood for some white peach picking, and a tiresome but interesting trip to Point Reyes National park. Okay... it's not much excitement, maybe a little bit overboard chickee stuff, but it was some damn good R&R, fresh air with a tiny bit of shit and grass, nature trails, and nice sunny sandy beaches. Point reyes is really nice as they say, although we missed the season for most aquatic mammals, and fishes. Also didn't get to go on the horsey rides....
I have decided to resign from my job tomorrow and persue other points of interest. No worries, I will still have plenty of saved cash to blow on conventions, although I will be more reserved.
And finally about the convention... enron, If there is the 3 of us, I'd be down for a drive. I think it's my turn, so we can test my vintage 97' special edition Honda on the 5 freeway down to LA. That'd be the cost efficient way. However, do you think you can get the friday off? and we can drive early/late monday back, depending on preference. Let me know pisano.
Also, my vote is for friday night. It makes coming from the bay area a lot nicer. Sleeping on pavement is not fun! =D

ya do it keep up the juggling!
Hook me up with some sweet ACtion Team webspace for our classic songs! I found a pretty crappy tape where I used the secret micro-recorder to record about an hour of a game session (it was a Superhero game Joon ran at JPs old apt.- LOL) Its pretty unfunny and kind of a downer, but its also pretty fun- hearing it, i can remember the night pretty well- loooong time ago.

Convention Rub
So here is the rub: Leslie's brother is getting married on the 30th of August. Sunday. CONVENTION Sunday. So that means that I will not be attending sunday, or really sunday night as far as I can tell. Crappers. But I can go friday, and saturday and then leave on sunday. I can even come back late sunday night (maybe) and play monday or some such shit. So, I am in for paying for all three nights just to make sure everyone still comes down.
Thoughts? Concerns? Seething remarks?

Yar.. And so I return. I am afraid that my inactivity was based on stalling. I have been mulling over if I should make my way to the Khahnventshunn. Sorry I took so long. As I metioned to Mister Peckerwood on Saturday, I will be making it to the Khan. Ja-eL are we to fly down? Whats your feelings on the subject. If so we need to get tickets soon. I think Aimey will be going down too, to visit her Familia.
As far as the room goes, Jon and I were mulling over when we should book the room for. He was thinking about only booking for two nights instead of three. I said if he was set on that to skip the friday night. But I am not sure I am sold on the two night deal. It is always good to have friday night as a warm up night and you can just skip sunday night. That is Eric and I's Epic-con night. So I donno. I figure I would throw it out there. If four of us go, it is only $25/person for the additional night, which is not that much. If there are five... $20/person. What ever. Questions? Comments? Shenanigans?

As I metioned to Mister Peckerwood on Saturday, I will be making it to the Khan. Ja-eL are we to fly down? Whats your feelings on the subject. If so we need to get tickets soon. I think Aimey will be going down too, to visit her Familia.
As far as the room goes, Jon and I were mulling over when we should book the room for. He was thinking about only booking for two nights instead of three. I said if he was set on that to skip the friday night. But I am not sure I am sold on the two night deal. It is always good to have friday night as a warm up night and you can just skip sunday night. That is Eric and I's Epic-con night. So I donno. I figure I would throw it out there. If four of us go, it is only $25/person for the additional night, which is not that much. If there are five... $20/person. What ever. Questions? Comments? Shenanigans?
