When I was in 7th grade, I got my wisdom teeth pulled. During that opperation, the oral surgeon cut a nerve in my face so that about a quarter of my lower lip is numb. It stayed this way and is numb to this day. It isn't numb like you can poke a needle through it, but just numb enough so that when I am eating, sometimes food will be there and I can't tell. Not trying to one-up you, but I know what it is like to have a numbness.

Baby Shower SFCon© 2006
Well Elzar, not totally in vein. I hate the Ducks announcers. They are the Blurst. Goddamn idjiots. Besides I like hockey stories.
Myke good to see you are on board. I will email you the directions. Pretty easy stuff. Plus you already roughed half the system last time.
Rude, novacane is not fun. You feel like a tard trying to talk and it feels like the side of your face is just not there. I am always checking my face to see if I am unknowingly drooling all over myself.

- Mike is confirmed for Baby Shower SFCon. Enron, can you post some insanely detailed directions on how to get to your place for Mike from the OAK airport, like you did for me? It was so easy!
- So, Cuba Gooding Jr. was a guest "announcer" for one period at a Kings game, basically he likes hockey, and plays, and has some new movies coming out, so someone knew someone, and called someone and got him on to promote, blah blah blah. He sucked pretty bad, but whatever. ANYWAY. The announcers for the Mighty Ducks SUCK the WORST, most disgusting, diseased, hobo-cock, in the universe. They are terrible. They can't pronounce anyone's name correctly (on the Kings; Norstrom, is NOT pronounced NorDstrom, you prick), they clearly are watching different games than they are announcing cause they NEVER GET A CALL CORRECT as they describe it. Every penalty that goes against the Ducks is "ticky-tack", and every penalty against the other teams is a grevious intent to injure a Ducks player and the player should be suspended. You get the idea. ANYWAY, a guy posted this on the Letsgokings.com message board about it, and cracked me up:
"Dude, there's not even a debate here. Hayward? Please. Nothing is as bad as Hayward. I'd rather listen to 1,000 drunk and twisted Cuba Jr.'s than deal with a Hayward any freaking day. Cuba with a Tanq & Tonic I-vee'd into his arm for a month wouldn't be half as bad as that homer tool Hayward."
Now that I re-read it, I should have kept it to myself. The Tanq and Tonic for a month IV'd made me laugh. But not after I had to explain the back story. Apologies.

hi hi everyone! mind is blurry from watching 12 hours of Veronica Mars broken up with a dentist visit where I had 4 cavities filled in. Ugh! (Didn't hurt too much, but novacaine is kinda lame after it's done its job!)

Good to hear things are on the up and up. Umm yeah the Friday the 13th it is. flights look to be round about $100-110 for a one way trip if you buy one right now. Either OAK or SFO, although you are probably going to find OAK a lot cheaper, SFO really does not cater to short run flights. Occasionally you will find a deal, but not often. As far as rides, well you will have to speak with Elzar about that. My wheels are dead at the moment so I can not offer up ElzNards car. Public tranny is pretty easy though. See what he says.

Greetings from Professorland
So, I'm sitting in my new office at UCLA (which I share with others, and is apparently the office of yet another person who is on some sort of teaching sabbatical. As yet, my name is not on it and there are no external signs that I have any ownership of the space at all. However, it does have several baby carriers toys, luggage books on Chinese history and culture, and golf clubs in it, so I suppose that that is all a plus. Anyone want any of it? Not even the talking 'Peek-A-Boo Zoo?' Ok. Oh, and I can't open the window either. Great.
No, I haven't arranged my flight yet (come, on, it's me we're talking about.) When would be good to get there on Friday 13th (shudder)? I can't imagine that I'll be able to leave earlier than about 3-4pm. Will someone be able to get me or do I have to take the train again? Should I go to the same place? I really shouldn't be going at all with the amount of nonsense I have to get done, but I'm trying to rationalise it and certainly want to. Maybe I can send my minis with Elrock so I don't have to carry them on the plane.
I was at the American Institute of Archaeology conference from Wednesday till yesterday. Had several interviews with important places for good jobs. Mananged to look like a complete idiot at only one of them - others, well, fingers crossed - who knows? Have to fly away for another one next weekend (hence the worry about what I've got to do as I have to give a paper at that one too!) Basically, I'm totally knackered. Conference = tons of stress for three days + not enough sleep + drinks once interviews were over + long flight back from Montreal on one hour of sleep + having to complete today's lecture yesterday + lecture today = EXHAUSTION. Still, wish me luck, ok guys?
Elrock, I'll ring you when I get home today to coordinate. Maybe I'll even have a flight by then.

Sudoku is pretty fun. I used to play it on my lunch break, but then I found I was obessing over it way too much and I decided it would be better if I walked around town for a bit to get my exercise and some fresh air.
Now Elzar, is Wiley pronounced like the Coyote or like the Whale? Hehe... Sweet. Good thing you didn't wait until the last minute. If you did Rudy or Jon may have named your child and then bummer. It would be smoxachaulk all over again, but for your child.
Painting. Well you can't say I haven't been trying, but I have all the speed of Dennis and none of the quality to go with it. D'oh. I am slow as shit, but I still keep hacking away at it. Plus I kind of don't like the way my colours (One for the Dr. MotoByke) have been turning out. I think I should have stuck with one of the colours. Oh well. Also I am still waiting for a head and a back piece from Privateer Press since mine were not included in the original packages. Hopefully I will see that this week. Besides WoW is for wimps and WarMachine is for pimps. step up to the plate my naga.
Tivo Series3. Has anyone seen the new specs. Man I want one. It sounds like you can bypass the digital cable TV boxes altogether.
The Series3 is a digital cable ready box, capable of recording two programs simultaneously, and can record HDTV broadcasts. The system also sports 2 USB ports, 10/100baseT Ethernet, and an E-SATA port for external storage expansion. More details.

Whassup my Naga's?
- Ryan think's it is hilarious when I play Heather at World of Warcraft and we have to place Nagas on the board. Cause we (mostly he) had a friend at UCI that liked to talk gangster and call everyone "nigga", but then really took liberties with it, and it began to sound like "noggo", which is a little like Naga. Ryan is a racist.
- Kommandant Hesselvondorffburger appreciates the generosity shown him over the holidays by his soon to be Cryxian Overlords!
- I play Sudoku now. Do you Sudoku, too?
- I don't really play much GBA stuff anymore, but the ROM card I has was the shit. I put SO many nintendo games on it, and it would hold 3 other reasonably sized ROM's at the same time. I think currently I have NES, Bookworm, and Tactics: Ogre and Onimusha. I have the 256 card, larger cards would obviously put mine to shame, but even mine is awesome. Do it!
- I declare that my son's name shall be Wylie. We are still fiddling about with the middle name, but we think it will be Thompson. Wylie Thompson Hess. Wylie, is my grandfathers name, and my mother and great grandfather's middle names. Thompson, is my mother's maiden surname, which is an Americanization of Torssen, given to the family when they got here from Scanidinavia. Identity thieves disregard that last paragraph.
- Wylie Thompson Hess. My son. Cool. Weird.
- I think that not one of the miniatures I needed to have painted by the SF trip, will be finished. I have lost my mojo for painting Warmachine stuff, I need a shot in the ass to get re-excited and re-motivated!
- WoW has me by the balls.

Denis...
Wow.
Moving on. My experience with afternoon LA departures to SF have pointed towards departures ~2pm-3pm being the best window. After 3pm too many of the valley goons are leaving the LA basin and start to snarl up traffic. And getting to the bay area basin after 7:30 is fine. The bay area traffic is much lighter then LA. Especially after 7pm.
I narrowly avoid a two week trial on Jury Duty today. That would have sucked.
Elzar: Have you and your lady friend come up with a name for the little 'un yet? Milo still in the cards? Maybe Batman Theride would be a good first and middle name. Maybe Cunty cunt cunt cunt the cunt cunt. Or maybe not.

So Denis, you actually did it?
Nice.
How'd it go over?
I'm feeling better than I have been recently, but I feel worn out and my throat feels like I've been drinking razors. Still, an improvement.
Blood Bowl. Heh. I might come around to that one in, oh... fifteen years. But the board sure is pretty so hell, bring it up! And by the way. Your terrain is awesome both in its quality, and its quantity. I really hope you're planning on bringing a lot of it up!
40-Year-Old Virgin is funny.
