Yo Jael!
The reason the machines or the Architect can not kill Agent Smiths process is that he is like a virus. Virii or rogue programs by their very nature incapacitate systems often requiring another third party or external process to neutralize it. Speaking of which this is a hot shirt.
If the Ice Cream cones are that cheap I suggest you do this Jael: buy about a thousand of them and stick them in your suitcase in the freezer. Then just before you get on the plane pull them out. You can make a mint. Plus the proceeds will pay for our own hedonistic consumption of a large percentage of them.

Greetings from the Games workshop in HK!
I should have taken a picture, but it's merely just to show what expansive reach GW has touched every poorred (was rich) child of every nation with their miniatures. The craze here is the LOTR theme. That's all they had and of course expensive GW paint to paint the LOTR miniatures with. There were a few other brands of games. I did not see Blood Bowl, sadly. Football is just not a big pastime here.
Mcdonalds has corn soup and the ice cream cone is 2 HK dollars which is approx 20 cents US! wow! Everything else is overpriced.
Interesting that Mike mentioned the God of the machines. Why did it have to have neil destroy the rogue program? Why couldn't it do it itself? It was a cool Meek vs God, Meek is triumphant ending, but that's about it.
Anyhow it's been really fun, just saying hi!

I've now spent most of the day watching a computer think...
Oh the fun of watching a little bar get filled up to 100 percent and then starting over again at 0. That has been my life today. At least I can breathe properly for now -- been fighting a cold forever now. (What a surprise!) Anyway, the Matrix Revolutions: I thought it was an appropriate ending for the saga, and suppose that I feel the whole three movies centred on 'choice' and 'agency' as their moving aspect, rather than good character development -- obviously. The point is that the people in Zion are just as much controlled by their worlds as those in the Matrix, and that, in essence, it really doesn't matter that much. At least that was how it seemed to me. 'We're all here to do what we're all here to do.' Neo does that, and fulfils the systemic needs of the Matrix. Did you notice the name of the big thing at the end that Neo talks to? (Trying not to ruin it if someone hasn't seen it yet.) Deus ex Machina == the god from the machine. Interesting. I guess I found all of that so interesting that the CGI heavy, acting poor, storyline weird aspect of the last two movies hasn't bothered me that much.
Anyway, those are my two cents.

I'm old!
I think I'm getting old because I just don't enjoy cinematic type films as much as I used to. Or is it that I've seen too many movies of the same type? Perhaps I will see only romantic comedies from here on out. I hear "Love, Actually" is a good one.
Anyway... yeah, saw Matrix. I guess interesting characters are obsolete now that you can have fifteen mechas on the screen firing at two thousand robots.
A cat just dug a claw into me and it broke the skin. Do you think I should be worried about infections!?

Viva Las Vega
Well nothing too exciting happened while I was in ye olde vegas. However, I did get the ire of several friends and family members when I stuck my head in the lions mouth at the Sigfreid and Roy monument / temporary mourning spot. Even got a photo taken. Aside from that, a lot of gambling, eating, drinking, and shopping.
Well like I said I will be around Thanksgiving weekend, so hopefully we can game/goof around. Johnny, you are still welcome to join on the trip down. On a side note, Jon give WHFRP a chance. Im telling you, you may not like the GW world setting, but the system is pretty cool and much more lethal than D&D. There is good reason that Elrock and I still love the game all these years later.
Oi, dat's me leg...

Indian giving... at least it's appropriate to the holiday
Yo Lee, I may have been too hasty in offering you the gift of a Very Petersen Thanksgiving because we might be trucking down to Mexico for turkey day this year. It's still up for debate. Email me if you're seriously interested in coming down and I'll keep you informed.
Even if we do go to Mexico, I know everybody else is going to be around and I'd like to hang out... so I'll probably just go down Wednesday-Thursday and come back up Friday morning.
Hey Enron, I never asked... how did Las Vegas go the other month? Any good tales to tell?

Mushy Boba
Good Stuff! I'll be going to the Land of BobaS! Sorry fellas I can't bring any back, but they come in nice 1LB packages at the asian supermarket. One of these days you guys should try brewing your own. It's like beer except faster. And it's fun!
Also you should try the little bobas, the little white ones.... Those are good too next to the fruit drinks.
So just in case anyone wants to know, here's my cool itinerary! I'll be leaving for Taiwan tonight! Won't be back till the 23rd or something. I'll still have access to the blogger and I'll blog if something interesting comes up, but for the most part, PEACE NiGGas! I'll see you all after!
First Taiwan---
Then Hong Kong---
Then THE WORLD ---!

Primary Slave Hard Disk Fail
In my continuing saga of computer difficulties this year, my other harddrive seems to have failed. AT least that is how it looks at first glimpse this morning during boot-up. This time my Maxtor drive ate it. I guess that one is getting old, a little over three years. What sucks is, that is the drive that has ALL of my mp3s I have burned from my collection and downloaded over the past 5 years. All told, about 12 gigs worth. D'oh!
Elrick: What system is Call of Duty for? Boba rule. What is funny is nobody advertises it as Boba here. It is just called Tapioca drinks here. Yet if I go into a place and say I want a Boba, they will look at me funny, but then they figure it out after a few seconds. My fave: Taro Tea. FOr the Intro I think we should have our own celebrity writer Mr Oetersen create us something. He could write Fuck Duex, a post humorous analysis and expansion of the 'great' Fuck! A discog would be cool, but what would we put in it, and in what medium?
I am already bored at work and I have only been here for 35 minutes. Stale. As the end grows near, more and more our job becomes Hurry up wait. With wait becoming the more dominate of the two.
Hard Drive, Suck Ballz

Items of Note
- Life is hectic right now, and I am sure that it is not going to get any better in the near future as the wedding draws nearer.
- Call of Duty is THE sweetest game right now, if you ahve the means, I highly suggest you pick up a copy. I bought one today, and have played all of about 15 min, but it is still fun!
- Boba is the greastest drink known to man. Tomorrow if I have time I'm going to get a barley milk tea! Anyone had one of those?
- I love having my truck back (finally).
- Who, or what, should we have write the introduction to the Action Team book? Someone real? Fake? Of mythical proportions? Also, Ry and I were thinking of having a section in the book resembling a discography of everything that we have all done in the past, audio, video, published, whatever. Thought it would be fun to look back on for posterity sake.
- Gotta go to bed now, more tomorrow if I have time...

Hobbling Along
In the continuing Nexpoint.net saga... Nexpoint thinks that finally have all the issues resolved for studio9one2.com. However it will take them 12 hours to propagate the data to the DNS servers. Nice job. Right on the ball, 96 hours later.
In other news I saw Matrix, Reconstitution with Ice Lee this past sunday. All in all, better than the second one. The fight scenes were pretty long but not as ludicrous as the freeway scene and Agent Smith scenes of the previous one. As Jon suggested, I am going to have to go back and look at the second one again on DVD. I thought the plot was a bit weak at spots and a lot of the potential mind fucks they had set up in the second one were not capitalized. Bummer. Unfortunate, There was great potential for this series and I think the spirit of the first one got lost somewhere in the middle. Even so it was a fun movie. Can not wait for LotR: RotK. Rule!

It felt good after getting the alcohol out.
Enron will be here shortly. We'll be watching the MATRIX3 which I heard was not that great. So we shall see. Blog it in later.
There is a game made by Takashi (writer of Rich Dad Poor Dad), can't spell his name. Anyhow, it cost 195 dollars, and it is completely like a normal game. It's amazing how much this guy makes off of this game. We shall all have to play it someday, if I can get myself an ebay copy. The game is called Rat Race
