Ah, pumpkin pie and coffee for breakfast
That's the life!
I can't believe the con is almost upon us. I got my badge yesterday. Now I'm mega-psyched for teh games and Anaheim hoox0rs. Anyone else got theirs yet?
Maybe I'll go to the website and see if there are any actual events I'm interested in... and damn, I gotta start getting ready if I'm going to run anything....
Mike, when are you in town?

Thanksgiving Movie Fest Reviews
Happy T-day! I pity the foo !
Timeline - Decent flick. Certainly ranks at least two times higher than Knights Tale (BTW that is not too difficult!). Knights Tale = Teh Suck! But Timeline had realistic armor, weaponry, and the epic siege was a nice touch. The plot could be remolded a little. Movies that deal with time traveling are so flawed. I guess these type of movies come in cycles. Remember Back to the future? Well this is back to the future except with said horses and trebuchets instead of skateboards and dalorians.
Missing - If you are expecting a scary movie, think again. I was a bit dissapointed with the movie, as the trailer made the movie sound mysterious. The trailer talked about a mystical being/demon, and young women dissappearing. (Not to spoil it for anyone) so I won't say what it was, but let's just say it was nothing extraordinary. The movie turned out nothing more than a western shootout drama. Having said that, the movie wasn't terrible. Had I had a different expectation going in, the movie would have been a little better.
SO whens the gaming? Perhaps I can join in and play a little Over the computer BB or medal of honor or something.

lame chain letters
What's the point of making bogus stories up like that? Someone must have lots of time on their hands when it's free from masturbation. Do us all a favor, chain letter writers: keep your hands on your nutsack and go back jacking off!!!
Seriously, what's the gain? To see the letter sent all over the internet, to see the frequency the letter can make it's way back? Honest...
This is true though... this morning i followed this stock that grew 44% in the wee morning hours. Had I decided to invest at that moment, the stock ended up 87% gain for the day.
Yowsers. 40k ivestment would have given me 19k back. Too bad I didn't invest

Wow
That is some insane revenge. If that is true that has got to be the most outrageous thing I have heard in a while. How ever it is not a true story. Several variations of this story have been floating around since 1985. It made a resurgence in 1995 and again recent. Each time with more embellishments, most recently with the "Priceless" moment theme. Many media forms have been used, radio, faxes and the I-net. Boooo!
Jon: Big Adam's Apples suck. Trust me I know. Especially if it gets shot while paint balling.
Back to work Jerk.

Hoody hoo!
Hey jon, I tried calling you at home, but I figured you went to work. Talked to your pops for a bit. Hey so anyhow, i didn't want to hassle you at work, so whenever you get this blog, call me on my cell! Aight gangsta,
Cool Story:
So I get this email telling a story on this guy. Here's the cut-and paste
>>>>this is a true story about a recent wedding
that took place at Clemson University. It was in the local newspaper and
even Jay Leno mentioned it. It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests.
After the wedding at the reception, the groom got up on stage with a
microphone to talk to the crowd. He said he wanted to thank everyone for
coming, many from long distances, to support them at their wedding. He
especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family and to thank his
new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.
As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give everyone a
special gift just from him. So taped to the bottom of everyone's chair,
including the wedding party, was a manila envelope. He said this was his
gift to everyone, and asked them to open their envelope. Inside each
manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his bride having sex with
the best man.
The groom had gotten suspicious of them weeks earlier and had hired a
private detective to tail them. After just
standing there, just watching the guests' reactions for a couple of
minutes, he turned to the best man and said, "F--- you!". Then he turned
to his bride and said, "F---you!". Then he turned to the dumbfounded
crowd and said, "I'm outta here." He had the marriage annulled first
thing in the morning. While most people would have canceled the wedding
immediately after finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with
the charade, as if nothing were wrong. His revenge.. .making the bride's
parents pay over $32,000 for a 300 guest wedding and reception, and best of
all, trashing the bride's and best man's reputations in front of 300
friends and family members. This guy has balls the size of church bells.
Do you think we might get a MasterCard "priceless" commercial out of
this?
Elegant wedding reception for 300 family members and
friends......................................$32,000.
Wedding photographs commemorating the
occasion..........................................................$3,000.
Deluxe two week honeymoon accommodations in
Maui...................................................$8,500.
The look on everyone's face when they see the 8x10 glossy
of the bride humping the best
man...............................................................Priceless.
There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's
................. MASTERCARD.

Hey oon, bad reception, that's whatsup
for some reason AT&T doesn't give messages on time. Sometimes it can take up to a fucking day or two to get messages. I didn't get your sunday message, i guess till now. Anyhow, I'll pop you a call tomorrow morning.
Your voice is sexy though. You should go into voice modeling. It's like feet modeling except they take snapshots of your adams apple as it contracts and expands while creating your melodious voice. Much money can be made.

fuckin' ashton kucher
First Dan Savage thinks he's all hot, now he's ripping off my story ideas. Philosophically, probably most any time-travel idea has been written about somewhere. I mean Groundhog Day deals with repetition and consequences, Blinx the Time Cat deals with fast forward/rewind in a platform jumping environment, and Peggy Sue Got Married (and like two shows from last season, I understand) deals with going back in time to school. So, that's cool. Anyway I bet my getting-strangled-by-a-drug-dealing-pedophile scene is way better than Kucher's.
Speaking of that guy, have you guys tried to watch that show Punk'd? That shit is unwatchable. The camera moves every 36 frames, exactly. It's like the Ring.
We had some slow time at work today so I pulled Godfather Part III out of the vault. Holy fuck, that shit was worse than Punk'd. The plot, dialogue, and acting were all so corny and derivative. What happened to Al Pacino? At least the Devil's Advocate was good.
You know what I like? Music. And Amoeba Records. Those are two good things. I picked up the new Frank Black album... pretty cool! The lyrics are more straightforward and raw than usual. Most of the songs are about divorce and depression... good stuff.

the eye spy
the whole premise for the eye is pretty darned cool, and the look of the film is nice - its VERY sharp and clear and I assume digital. BUT, its just fucking boring. I want scary movies that are MEAN. As flawed as The Ring is, at least its MEAN. Gothika had a bunch of those cheap scares in it, but without giving away anything, it is at its heart a NICE movie like "what lies beneath." FUCKING BULLSHIT! Fuckin' weak ass horror/thriller movies.
I think there are some cultural things in the eye that bug me too, like the music. Whenever theres some sappy love shit going on, its THE WORST music you've ever heard. I dunno - they just have a different aesthetic with some of their shit i guess. YUCK!
Saw some decent previews though. ACTUALLY, there's a new Ashton Kutcher movie that looked kind of cool and it TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE THEY RIPPED OFF JON! Its about this guy who discovers a way to go back in his past. He can pause time, rewind, or whatever. So, he goes back to change something. Then other shit goes wrong. So he keeps going back and shit gets worse and worse. Looks pretty rad. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like in one scene he does some REALLY violent shit, and then rewinds- yeah, probably all weaker than JONS story is/was/coulda/woulda been, but still neat.

9PM EH? Hmmm... I donno...
That may be a bit late. I would actually love to leave late, but that will only make my life miserable. I am thinking more along the lines of early after noon. 2pm or so. Otherwise it will be too painful to imagine. Thursday we are eating dinner early to mid-eve, although there are talks of going and grabbing a few drinks with Pat and Carrie since they both will not see me the rest of the weekend. You are all welcome to come and drink it up. DOnt worry it wont be a heavy drink fest. Otherwise, I will be free friday and saturday so far as I know.
Yeah the Eye has a few really creepy scenes. I would mantion a few but they may ruin the "Suplise!"
I am stoked on hanging out this weekend. Rule!

Hey... that was old enough for our forefathers in Vietnam, who are we to be picky??
I heard there's some kind of good elevator scene in The Eye, but I don't know anything else about it.
So, are people busy on Thursday night? My family always does the Thanksgiving thing early... by 7:00 or so I've usually shaken off my trytophan hangover and am ready to rock, at a moderate level. I also have Friday free during the day, and all day Saturday and Sunday. Aaron you're not leaving until 9:00 PM on Sunday. It Is Deicided. Eric, you should run WFRP or something!
