Christine > Happy birthday!

SJ > Thanks for those wrestling updates. Man... I'd never known that stuff about Jake "The Snake" or heard that Rick Rude had died. So would you know what's become of Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan? I loved those two together as a commentating team.

Dreamie writes: << Right everyone Patrick was hot as Capt Chavez?>> Yeah! I swear when he first came out I said to myself "Hey, who's the sexy chick?" No really... I SWEAR! :::chuckles and ruffles Patrick's hair:::

You wouldn't just be saying that because today is April 1st, would you? :P :: ruffles Dreamie's hair in return ::

**sighs sadly as he enters, shuffling his feet**

Yep, our (mine and XenaTrek's) guys lost. Big time. In a manner similar to the game two years ago in the Final Four we played against Duke, the Spartans never held the lead at all and came out in the second half asleep on their feet (a 12-0 run in the first two minutes of the half?! That's unreal!!). So congratulations do go out to Arizona ... and to a very real sense to Ravyn, because of her family connection to the 'Cats ... on a devastating victory. Clearly the better team won ... in post-game interviews, Tom Izzo said as much.

So I guess that means ... **whips out an Arizona hat and plants it on his head** ... that for at least one game I become a Wildcat fan. ;)

XenaTrek: It was great to chat with both you and Ravyn during the second half. Even *if* the game didn't turn out as we'd have liked ... ;) **hugs**

So anyone get April Fool'ed really bad? I know I had two calls at the store today pick up as dialtones ... hmf. :P

Emambu> Thank you for the site, I had totally forgotten that I had asked you so thanks for remembering. As far as your topic, I consider myself a fan. The first time I watched an ep (I think it was Leader of the Pack) I was amazed by the animation. I enjoy a well drawn cartoon, but I instantly realized that this was something more. I was intrigued by the idea of the series and I've always loved New York City. Of course I fell in love with Brooklyn first, but don't tell. It's a secret ;)

Last night, I watch Hollow Man with Elizabeth Shue and Kevin Bacon. It ruled, but if I see another movie with Kevin Bacon naked I'm gonna hurl.

Gside: <<MIT>>: Only in some fields. Not MY field! UC Berkeley is top civil engineering in the country.

Dreamie: <<Vince the fictional character or Vince the businessman?>>: I turn it around for you: Christ the fictional character or Christ the carpenter? 8-)

Allaine: <<who some of you are>>: I'm an evil pig/nerd. That's really the best self-description I can think of. For more info, check out http://josh.kicktothenuts.com <<manners>>: left them in my other house.

Lain: <<guys are WIERD>>: girls have their days too... <<a desire to have their KIDS be American too>>: Well, its evolutionary. Girls want to pick the male that will produce the best offspring. Hence... hehe.

Computer problems: I'm so glad I'm not the only one that has computer problems. Hearing about all of yours tells me I'm not alone in the universe (though apparently I'm the only MAC user I know with computer problems).

Warpmind: <<Men are bred to be spineless nowadays>>: Did you see Fight Club? "We are generation of men bred by women" <<7 years>>: Okay, I am SERIOUSLY impressed by that.

Christine:<<take your family and mine, pop them in a blender, and pour out a happy medium!>>: Can your family afford to buy me a new laptop? If yes, you're on!

Jannie: <<I can't think of one single reason that girls shouldn't ask guys out>>: That's because there isn't one. It's been many decades since a girl would be called a slut if she asked out a guy. <<She offered a reward but I refused>>: YOU DID WHAT!?!??

Dubble: Do they teach spelling in English schools? <<Otherwise they're just talking rubbish and only being equal about some things>>: That is sooooo true.

Wasn't Christine's birthday last week?

Niamhgold: <<it's also a very attractive thing to do, 'cause it shows confidence>>: Right, cuz we know guys don't like girls to have any confidence 8-P <<Jericho stripper>>: Couldn't get his mom for the guys?

Aingeal: <<more than 100 pages and word starts having issues>>: I hate M$...and they hate me right back. <<asked a guy to my spring formal anonymously>>: I'm not gonna ask HOW you thought you were gonna pull that one off. Eventually, you WERE gonna have to see him.

Kit: <<Sometimes it's been the only way to get their attention>>: Stripping helps. <<respectful of me and all women>>: Respecting you, no problem. But I'm sorry, there are many people out there (women and men) that are just to stupid for me to respect any more than I respect used toilet paper.

Wilek: LOL on twistedness.

Emambu: <<you're confusing us with nerds>>: No, I'm not. I knew it was supposed to be nerds (actually, its plagurized from "The Dilbert Principle" where the word is SUPPOSED to be "engineers").

Gargoyles show review: I condsider myself both a fan and a critic. I look for the symbology and stuff, but I am perfectly capable of sitting back and enjoying an episode as well. I agree on the education aspect of the show. I'm also a nitpicker by nature, and I just enjoy pointing out flaws in shows I like.

Juliaexia: a meter and a half is 4.92 feet. Personally, just to be sadisitic I would have converted it to something obscure, like cubits or fathoms or something just to piss people off.

To deny our impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human.

GSide>> <Waiting for anything specific? Get going and ask him. > well, I was just giving the tasteless guys at my school a few more days. But I have asked him!
(BTW, this is Mike, not ANdy, who is the Pittsburg guy)

Aaron>> <Sometimes the distance thing sucks, but it can work out. > It can. We're keeping in touch and everything. I'm not expecting anything, but I;m not eliminating the possibilty, either.

Emamabu>> <What am I vouching for again> just the distance between Philly and Pittsburg.
<I could always give him a swift kick in the ass in your name> cool. you have any non-violent kicks in your repertoire (sp?). well, hopefully it won't come to that.

DPH>> <MS Word told me it was 322 pages long> really? it tells me it's 122. email me; I may be missing part.

Girls asking out guys>> I have to be for it, since I am a perpetrator of it. Besides, guys ask me out so very very rarely (and my story about Mike and the prom is a good example of when they do) that I really have no choice.

happiness!

Best birthday wishes, Christine, a little late.

One slight correction, though: Shaloub did the voice of the Emir. Anubis was voiced by Tony Jay.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! It's been okay, went out last night with friends and Becca for our first ever visit to the Outback Steakhouse and even though I brought home 2/3 of my meal, I still ate too much! Ugh! Was good though.

Book news > got e-mailed the contract today and will be looking it over soon. Once it's all signed and such, I will keep you all posted on updates and let you know when I'll be on their site and everything. Whee!

Spy Kids > agreed, very cute movie! Becca was fussy and didn't seem to enjoy it, but that could be explained by the fact that the moment we left the theater, she promptly threw up all over the place and is now feverish and cranky. But the movie was enjoyable, and I've always liked Tony Shaloub (voice of Anubis, hey hey!), and some of the previews were promising -- Atlantis, Cats and Dogs.

*Lynati leans in*

yaay! It's time to do final project for this class! no more pineapple slices and gum arabic for me!! ^_^
And, on another happy note, I managed to finish typing up another story. Yay for me.

Gargoyles: fan. definately a fan. an obssessive one.

Wilek: BWAHAHA HAA hee hee...lovely spam, wonderful spam! (Heh heh...I have Brooklyn singing "the lumberjack song" somewhere in my fics...*snickers*)

Gunjack "what the %#&@ is this turkey baster doing in my pillowcase!" Valentine: Sleeping meds? C'mon, it couldn't have disturbed you all *that* much.

lain: Did they have any apple fritters?

**Winterwolf quickly creates an ice dome protecting himself, Emambu and Dreamie from the waterfall**

Hey I've already lost a pair of pants and my regular fur coat! And I'll get them back you tricky ladies! :P
So anyway I have to be able to avoid the occasional prank. ;)

Top Ten!
**gasps**
I can't believe those previous posts are so long... April Fools. ;P

Emambu> Hi! <fan or critic> Well I'd like to say I'm a fan. I do love the show for what it is. However that doesn't separate myself cleanly from critiquing parts of a story as great or no so great and noting some things that don't seem to be right. I find on a whole, if I like a show such as Gargoyles it has to be intelligent, consistent and entertaining. I definitely see Gargoyles possessed all three of these traits. This doesn't mean I think the show was perfect but what is? (Let's see which egos will chime in here) I can watch just about anything but if I if it's good enough for me to be a fan I know criticism both the good stuff I liked and the bad stuff I didn't will be thought of at least. <tour stuff> Oopsie! I better get that email out. ^_^ <went flat twice> Well I'm glad nobody noticed. I guess they were too busy listening to you to see... err I mean laughing at the jokes to hear that. :P

Juliaexia> **HUG** You take care of yourself. I hope to see you back in here! The little squabble earlier was not your fault. Do stop in here anytime you want and can. You are part of our CR family now. **HUG**

Beth> Congrats! ^_^

I'll be checking out the reunion if anyone wants to find me.

Bye!

*swoons happlily* David sent me an e-mail!!! He wants to read my fanfic and get me Kenshin doujinshi and Love Hina mangas. ^_^ THIS GUY IS THE SWEETEST PERSON ON EARTH!!! *purrs* >^_^< (Now if he had long red hair and fought with a sword and had a cross shaped scar on his left cheek, I'd ask him to marry me right after graduation. ^_^X) I also spoke with him yesterday at our local comic book store downtown. We had a great conversation about all kinds of stuff. :) :) :) :) :) :)

*yawns and squinches eyes to sun*
it's such a beautiful day here. this is probably one of my last posts for now. i'm needing the time to organize my life and pack it all up. well, that i'm still feeling weird posting after the whole debate i caused a while back. i just needed to vent and to be honest i thought nobody would really respond (i think i said that before). i dont' want to spark another one by bringing this up again, but that's why i haven't really been around. i guess i feel outcasted, yet again. ....that was just an aside, but back to my original yak.... i'll probably end up leaving it(packing) til the last minute, but it's nice to pretend that i'm not a procrastinator. i'm leaving rez this weekend and heading back up north to a meter and a half of snow(please don't ask me to convert...i'm convertedly challenged!!). mind you it will probably be gone...well, the majority of it will be gone by the time i get back. i'm not complaining, i've been prancing around up here in shorts for the past couple of days.

critic vs. fan: i first discovered this gargoyle thing when i was flipping through the channels on a spring day eight years ago.(don't ask me how i remember it being spring time) either way, the first thing that attracted me to it was...well... it's going to sound lame. it's romanticism. i'm a helpless romantic, emphasis on helpless. the idea from a medieval era that is lurged into the modern world and to see how we would think adaptions would be made... so i guess you could say that i'm a fan. although i will admit i critize everything, but i wouldn't necessarily call myself that regarding the gargoyles stuff. does that help?? i'm not quite sure if i answered your question.

~cootsy wootsy info. for the day~
*val and lain were wearing matching outfits yesterday... awww*

good luck to all who have to go through the exam hell...

Hmm. MS Word told me it was 322 pages long. My biggest concern with using MS Word is that it will add Internet Explorer-specific HTML tags.

In other related stuff, I was contacted by Cartoon Network wanting to do a series based off the BFTS RP. $$$$$

**DPH hands DC a device. "This device, once activated, will make you immune to all attacks." DC activates the device and disappears into thin air. "I did tell him 1/2 the truth. The device did scatter his patricles over the radius of 100 miles, thus rendering him temporarily immune to all attacks."**

Why was the little boy crying? He lost his glasses and couldn't look for them until he found them.

**DPH looks around and sees a pile of water balloons being thrown at him. "Haha, you can't hit me because I sent a holographic representive".**

Just for that, I think I will have to do 1 up of those water balloons. DPH spots Emambu, Dreamie, and Winterwolf and opens a portal above each of them and out comes lots of water.

ARRRGGHHH! I asked a guy to my spring formal anonymously... BECAUSE I'm too chickento do so in person.. or even on the phone... WELL... now to get the answer i've got to meet him IN PERSON! ::beats head:: ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Emambu- I'm a bit of both... now thart I've had video classes, i pick apart the production, but as a fan I let myself be part of it for a while. I do however occasionally notice and pick at discrepancies

Allaine>> I'm new enough that i've given up on trying to tell who's new and wait for others to say.. :-p so welcome.. belated, but you konw.. had to catch the manners at least once... ::blink:: waitaminute!

*Emambu wanders in with a shotgun, and points it at DC. With four succinct shots, Emambu blasts off his arms and legs. "That was for Warpmind." Emambu then points the gun at DC's groin and fires. His screams become higher pitched. "That was for Firestorm during Aingeal's party.* After a few minutes, Emambu finally levels the gun at DC's head. "And this is for me." Emambu fires.*

**********POINTLESS RAMBLE OF EVENTS IN MY LIFE**********
It's no April Fools, I am still alive... though terribly busy. I had planned on making a post Wednesday but DC killed my connection right as I was finishing up, so I have to go through all the replies again. :) Thanks to all who expressed their congratulations for my Cousin. The wedding was wonderful, though rather chilly and overcast for Lousiana. I think I brought some of Pittsburgh's weather down here with me. It was fun to watch everyone freeze while I remained perfectly at home. Didn't even need a jacket. :)

Anyway, life and school work are kicking my butt as far as time is concerned but I'm kicking back by scoring high marks. I may actually make Dean's List this semester. Would be nice considering I didn't get it last time. I'm in the final stretch (4 weeks left). Just have to hold out till the end of the month

As for my choir, we had our big a capella concert last Saturday. Aingeal, it's too bad you couldn't stay in Pittsburgh a little longer. You would have had a good time. And you would have seen me make a fool of myself because I got to sing my solo, Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park." Wasn't my best effort, I went flat twice (grr...) but the audience was laughing too hard at our choreography to notice. In all, most of the groups there were a heck of lot more talented then us, but we all had fun. Also, as of two days ago, I became the Vice President of the a capella group, another plus. Next up on the list: Finals, then tour. Wish me luck. :)
**********END POINTLESS RAMBLE OF MY LIFE**********

**********RANDOM ACT OF HUMOR**********
Note: I have nothing against blondes, personally. :)

Lisa Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her n-laws, and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.

Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Lisa's eyes were now open, and
she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Lisa replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Lisa refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Lisa had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.



And, yes, Lisa is a blonde.
**********END RANDOM ACT OF HUMOR**********

**********VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION**********
My latest English assignment is a fieldwork paper viewing the interpretations of fans, critics, and scholars, and how they interpret a show. For example, how does a fan see a show when/she watches it, or a critic (and by critic I mean a reviewer, someone who breaks everything down and analyzes it)? My job is to see if there's a relation of the two, or if the category between fans and critics is very distinct.

Since I'm posting this here, I'm sure you've guessed that the topic I chose is Gargoyles. Therefore, I ask all of you, what do you see when you watch Gargoyles? Do you consider yourself a fan (someone who loves it for what it is, or because of the action, or because you think one of the characters is cute, etc) or a critic (someone who watches the show and breaks it down, weighing both positive and negative aspects, looking for metaphors, analyzing like something out of the Ask Greg site, etc), or maybe a combination of both? And why do you view yourself as that? Essentially, how do you interpret Gargoyles? You don't have to go off for pages, just a paragraph at most (though you can go on longer if you want to). However, I would like you all to try and answer. All information is valid to me. Personally, I consider myself a fan but for reasons why a critic might like the show. To me, Gargoyles was a show that educated as well as entertained. I interpret myself as a combination. However, in order for the paper to be successful I need other interpretations. I thank you all in advance for any help.
**********END IMPORTANT QUESTION**********

Gside: I don't know though... my posts are becoming about as frequent as Wilek's. I haven't yet developed a need for world domination though. I wonder how long I last before that happens. BTW, you think you could handle a semester of Poli Sci in a week? I have a cousin in Villanova that may disagree with you. :)

Imzadi: *these are from a while ago, sorry* <<Dude, us dorks do have a handicap...we generally have high-paying dork jobs and will produce dork children who will also have high-paying dork jobs long before losing their virginity>> No... you're confusing us with nerds. You're aright BTW, my golf/dating analogy wasn't very good. Maybe that's why I have so much trouble dating. :) I don't think I'd be any better with Hockey one though. My luck, I'd cross-checked at mid-ice. My only chance is for dating to be like soccer. Scoring is rare, but when it happens, it is SWEET. Plus, you get entire countries cheering for you. :) <<I'd like to join your "useless knowledge territory">> Sure, the more the merrier. Most people might be threatened with someone encroaching upon their turf, but one of the joys about useless knowledge is that it can be shared by all. :) *reads recent post* Amen about the dating ideas.

Doug: I'm glad to see you're at least giving it another chance. Also, I'm glad to hear that your house is coming together despite the lazy contractors (#1 problem with my brother's house). ;) BTW (you mentioned this a while ago) my Spring Break wasn't bad, it was just hectic, busy. But it was a necessary kind of busy. Still, I thank you for the condolences and await your next post, whenever it may be.

Christine: A happy and healthy birthday! Congratulations on the contract. Hopefully, it will be fair and/or reasonable. Just remember though, contracts that sign away first-born ten to have to the most flexible rates. ;) *reads further* I can see how withholding information of that kind can be irksome to you, especially a serious case like that. However, you said that they were both doing fine. Perhaps that was why they didn't tell you. They didn't want you to worry because they knew that your relatives were going to live. It's a poor excuse, I know, but I'm just trying to see things from both ends.

Jannie: *from a long time ago, sorry* You lived in Lake Charles? Heh... that's where I went for the wedding. My relatives live down there about ten minutes from the central part of the city, which consists of little more then some banks, a racing track, and a casino. :) We held the wedding in a little church off of University Drive. Of course, the reception was more fun (New Orleans :)). Oh and when you say that Lousiana's a "different world" do you mean that it's FLAT? :) Because that's always been my impression of the place when I'm down there. *grins* the directions that my uncle gave me to get to his house were hilarious. I had to drive down this street until it ended at the top of a "hill." The "hill" being nothing more than a three foot bump in the road. I don't know why but after coming from Pittsburgh (a city that's nothing but hills and rivers), it just struck me as funny, like something out of a deranged Crocodile Dundee movie, "That's not a hill, mate. THIS is a hill." *points at the hill that takes up most of the northern section of the university* *reads further, and ceases playing the violin as Jannie recounts her story* Sorry about that. :) Still, that was a good deed you did. It's always nice to know that people like you exist in the world.

Winterwolf: <<rare sighting>> ...And getting rarer it seems. :) <<snow>> *Emambu looks up at the last instant only to get buried entirely in snow* Oh real clever! ;) Sorry to hear about your busy week. Hopefully, you'll get some downtime tonight and tomorrow. At least you and the missus are having fun. :) BTW, if you have any info for me regarding the tour then please e-mail me. Our last big tour meeting is Monday night so I have to have something by then (a number to call, e-mail address to write to, something). Thanks a lot.

Dreamie: *grins* Just remember, I'm bringing scissors if you're bringing a net. No net shall hold me! *Emambu suddenly gets hit the face with-- what he thinks is-- a snowball at first. As he wipes it off he realizes what it is* You hit me with coconut shavings? *blinks* Think you could wing some pineapple shavings and a Gin Tonic in my direction while you're at it? :) *sees Dreamie and Winterwolf high five each* Ok, you're teaming up on me? That's fine. That's ok. I'll take you both on. :) *runs off to build an arsenal of water balloons*

SOROW: *from a while ago, so I apologize* The Gargoyles Troopers crossover is the latest issue of Avalon Mists, under Fan Fiction Feature #4. That's, of course, assuming you haven't found it out already by now considering how long it's been since I last gave a full post *sheepish grin* *reads further* Hopefully, those were tears of joy and you had a lot of fun *crosses fingers*

Caliope: AAAHH, you were burglarized again?!? *Multiple Deep Spritual Hugs-- MDSH for short :)* Grrr... I hope those guys are caught and soon. As the Princess of Puerto Rico, perhaps you can use your influence so they're all given lethal overdosos of Strawberry Jello. *reads from previous posts* Thanks for the congratulations on my solo. From the sound of things, you have a wonderful sining voice too. :) Our group mainly does contemporary a capella work. For example, my solo was Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park." :) Now that I'm a Vice President, I might have to actually start arranging music, and I'm no good at that. Good luck with the Japanese classes too. :)

Kitainia: Glad to see your posts too. :) I thank you for the congratulations on Erin's wedding. BTW, like I told Doug, don't worry about my Spring Break. It was a hassle yes, but it was necessary. Still, I too hope the next one is a little more fun. :) Good luck with the house. Sounds like things are slowly coming together.

Aaron: Thanks for the congratulations on erin's wedding and on my solo. Both were a lot of fun, I assure you. :) Hmmm... I guess maybe it's a good thing then that I went to NEw Orleans after Mardi Gras; although I did get some beads out of the deal. ;) And congratulations once again on your new position as Deputy CR moderator.

Conspiracy Theorist: Gotta love those ways to hassle ones roommate. I could even get away with a few of those *evil grin*

Though I said in the chat rooms, I'll say it again: Happy Belated Birthday, Aingeal!

Daphne: Ehh... that's about how I got a date for my junior prom. BTW, What am I vouching for again: Going to college in Philadelphia or carrying a long-distance relationship? Both are hard. My last relationship ended up being long distance... then it just plain ended. However, don't take my ineptness as a constant. If you really like this guy and he likes you back, then you'll find ways to make it work. And since I live near him, I could always give him a swift kick in the ass in your name. :)

Beth: It's not THAT disturbing. My brother once wrote a story on suicide in 7th grade. He won an award for it too, and Temple University decided to put on a play based on it. My parents, at the time, were both elated and disturbed by the fact that he could write something of that caliber at that age.

Firestorm: Have you been able to fix all internet connecting woes, or is DC still harrassing you?

Niamhgold: *debates about pouncing but shies away. Sttles on giving her a hug instead* Yay, a full Niamhgold post! :) Glad to hear that you're coming down to the home stretch too. Good luck with the rest of classes and with your G'01 entry pieces. Since I can't go this year, is there any chance that I might be able to get a sneak preview? I promise not let anyone else see it. *reads further* Hmmm... would it be possible to get a stripping Sata or Angela for my birthday? :)

Lain: Just don't hog Val the whole time. :) Poor guy. He may have gotten all his luggage back but I'll bet he still goes home pantless. :)

Gunjack: "Upmost Springy Orgasm?" O_O WTH?

**********SPOILERS FOR THE MEXICAN**********
If you haven't seen this movie yet, go do so. I was very surprised by it. I expected little more than a chick-flick starring Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts who head south of the border and get involved in some wild adventures. Oh how wrong I was.

In truth neither of the two stars spend much screen time together. When they do, they're usually arguing heavily about both major and minor things. Both find faults in the other, but in the end both realize that they do love each other.

However, that's not the main premise of the story. Brad Pitt plays Jerry, a bumbling fool who has a run-in with a mafia boss (Gene Hackman) and must now work for one of his lieutenants (Bob Balaban) to work off the debt. Only Jerry constantly screws up assignments, which he blames Julia Roberts for. He's given one more chance: Go to Mexico, locate an ancient gun call The Mexican, and bring it back to the States. Sounds simple, especially when you consider that they already know who has the gun. But, like life, simple things can become complicated. In this case it's from both ends. Jerry's an idiot (though at times a rather ruthless idiot) since he can't speak a lick of spanish, and Bob Balaban is undermining his own boss while at the same time setting Jerry up for a fall.

Character-wise, I loved Bob Balaban. I mean, I kept wondering how he could play a bad guy. He's Dr. Chandra from "2010" for crying out loud. However, not only does he play one, but he does a really good job, "You like sex and travel?" My favorite character in the movie though has to be James Gandolfini as a hit-man hired to kidnap Roberts as insurance to make sure that Jerry delivers the gun. The best conversations in the movie come between Gandolfini and Roberts. The cold blooded hit-man acts as a moderator for the love between the two main characters, pointing out that despit all their flaws they still love each other (oh, and he happens to be gay). A very complex and interesting character.

Props must also go to the people behind the film that give it its style though. The film itself plays like something out of "Three Kings" another movie I happened to like. It can be very real at times (when you fire a gun into the air the bullets WILL come down). The flashbacks showing the legend of The Mexican were also very well done. To top it off, its got a simple but effective musical score. This is a movie worth your time.
***********END SPOILERS FOR THE MEXICAN**********

BTW, if you're uncomfortable about posting it in public, you could always just e-mail me (address down below).

New motherboard, day 2

it seems that one of the new pieces (either the cpu or the board) isn't working. So there's nothing we can do at the moment, which means I'll still be computerless this evening :(
But tomorrow, we're (Alex and I) going to the store to see what is wrong. *deep sigh*
Cross your fingers for me, guys!

Doug and Kit: welcome in the room guys!

Winterwolf, Dreamie, Gside, Ravyn, Warpmind: Thanks for the welcome. Warpmind, it's not that I crossed Gargoyles with Buffy. It's just that they take place like, 7-8 years after "Hunter's Moon" and fans would either be scratching their heads or saying, "He said what?!!" I think after I finish the gargantuan 20-chapter story I'm working on, I'll take a break from BtVS and do some Garg background fics. Write the stuff I wanted to do years ago but never got around to.

Everyone else: Where are your manners? :P ;)

I hope the Batman/Zeta x-over is better than that Curse of the Cobra they were hyping on BB a couple months ago. I was convinced they were going to do Ra's Al-Ghul, and all I got was Wesley from Angel. Grrrr. I think I liked it better last year when I could watch Beast Machines and Cybersix (now that show had the mark of greatness on it).

Another fan of Spy Kids right here! <raises hand high>

SOROW: Congrats on a great show!!!

Jannie: <downside of living in a big city> So you're moving to a small town in Missouri then. Which one? Just curious. :) Good deed with the woman and her purse. <showings> Best of luck! :)

Dating: I've asked guys out numerous times, they usually have said yes. :) Sometimes it's been the only way to get their attention. But I don't mind being asked out either, in fact often I like it. But for me to say yes, the guy has to be nice, cute, respectful of me and all women, tough, funny, energetic, smart...all the things Doug is. :)

Niamhgold: Those massages aren't free, they take time. But then everything does. Which reminds me...Don't Forget to Set Your Clocks, Everyone!!! <walks out, mumbling about losing an hour of sleep>

A few things!

First- See Spy Kids!!! I repeat, see Spy Kids!! Robert Rodriguez has scored again with this film, Kit and I checked it out tonight and it rocks!!! Comedy, action, fun, family values, morals, it has it all. Ok, so the plot is cliched at times, and there are two or three dumb lines, but you don't really notice that. They also break cliches now and then, and always in a way that makes the audience laugh their heads off ("That's Mr. Minion to you!" :). Good acting, especially from the two kids and Carla Gugino (who is HOT!!!), more than decent script too (though it is predictable on a few far-between unfortunate occasions). Plus you can see Austin's airport, Austin's downtown, Lake Travis, and Austin's skyline all in the movie. Elena's in there too, though you have to look hard for her (the airport and wedding scenes need to be run in slow-mo to get a good look at her, but she's there!). So go check it out, enjoy it, it's great. I don't know how else to endorse it without spoiling.

SOROW: Glad your final show went well, the last one should always be memorable. :) I hope the tears you mentioned were inspired by ecstasy.

Todd: Put me down as another person who felt for Mystique after watching X-Men this morning. Not as much as Kit though. <grimaces>

Jannie: Want a Zeta Project new episode summary? Kit and I can send you one, just say the word. Glad that woman got her purse back, if not her money. :(

Valentine: Alright, you got your luggage back. Joy. :) <sees Juliaexia> Damn, that is a nice outfit...<SCWHING!!!!>

Dating: I'll ask girls out, I don't mind. Don't mind if they ask me out either, though I can't really remember it ever happening to me. :( <Kit suddenly walks up and asks him out> Thank you. <grins> Gotta go now. :)

*Val staggers in and stares blearily around the CR*

Guess it's my turn now, eh? Lemme just say that Canada ROCKS. Still not quite as good as Texas, and their money comes in funny colors, But it DEFINATELY has it's upsides. 8)
We finally got my luggage today, and yea verily, there was MUXH rejoicing. Clean clothes and money are things that you only really miss when they aren't available. : P ...But now that I've got both again, we can finally start the party. Four words: Tim Hortins donut binge. ;D
We got to head out to Mere's place Thursday, and I got to hear a lecture from her dad about how the USA's foreign policy has been hopelessly idiotic for the last fifty years. The funny thing is, I kinda agree with him; we SHOULDN'T have been resorting to trade sanctions against piddling little dictators. We should have just killed them. I didn't say that though, since Canadians tend to get all squeamish when you talk about planting smart bombs in peoples bedrooms. ; ) *mumbles something about weenie Canadians, and shies away from the angry look Lain sends him*
Oh, and speaking of angry Canadians... : | ...I got to see the FUN side of Lain's dad. *spits epressively* ...If (the good Laird forbid) I ever have a daughter, and I spend an ENTIRE DAY guilt-tripping and embarresing her in front of her friend, you guys have my EXPRESS permision to beat the living CRAP out of me. ; P ...Short answer, he's a jerk. The longer answer breaks several FCC regulations about adut language.
On the brighter side, I've been listening to the Canadian radio, and it's hilarious. Know what the Canadians are talking about on all their news shows? They're talking about US, and behind our backs at that. It's hilarious! :D We were listening to the radio all the way out to her house and most of the way back, and all they seemed to talk about was how screwed up the US was. Which was a little embarresing, until I realised that they weren't paying any attention to their OWN country. I couldn't help wondering, "Hey, don't you guys hyave any of your OWN bisuness to attend to? o.O

Um, right. Where was I? Guess we'll just have to start nto the REPLIES!

Well, we're down to just 2 teams now. Frankly, I didn't really care that much about the Arizone / Michigan game. Both teams worked hard, so I can see either one going all the way. Fortunately for Arizona, it was them.

I am FREAKING ECSTATIC that Duke beat Maryland, though. I hate Maryland. You would think that I would be cheering for them, since I do live in the D.C. "tristate" area, but I hate them. Not just because they beat GMU--that's high, but I just don't like them because all of their fans are nothing but thugs. The last time Duke played Maryland at home, the crowd (constituted mostly of college students) began a large "F*** Duke!" chant, and also proceeded to throw bottles and other paraphernalia at the Duke players. Classy all the way! So F*** Maryland. Glad those punks didn't get to go all the way.

Ravyn: It's really odd when I can have a serious discussion with someone else about wrestling. ;)
About Bret Hart? Hmm....I do think that, in the end, he's one of the greats in the "business" in the past 20 years. He was consistently entertaining. Unfortunately, at this point in his life, he's become bitter and jaded towards the business. And I don't blame him for that--one of his brothers literally gave his life for the business, and another one of his family members (Davey Boy Smith, his brother-in-law) literally went crazy over the last couple years. AND his own career was cut a little short because some idiot (GOLDBERG!!!) couldn't do a simple move right. So, while I think he'll go down as one of the greats, in the last couple years the Hart family "legacy" has been tarnished.
As for whether or not the whole Vince / Bret thing was a work or a shoot, I'm thinking it was all real. Way too much (legitimate, I think) bad blood between the two. If it was all an angle, I think we would have known it by now. But I'll say this--if it all was, and is, an angle? Pretty convincing one. Bret beat the hell out of Vince that night, and if the whole think was just a smokescreen, than they really went the extra mile to make it all look good.

Oh, and I've heard that Shawn Michaels will be returning to TV sometime soon. Don't know exactly when, but since he'll be returning to the ring in just a matter of time, I would think it'd be sooner rather than later.

Final score: Arizona, 80.......MSU, 61.

**okay, you can look now**

Basketball> So my team advances to the national championship game on Monday night!!! Boy, am I soooo excited! These guys have just been on a roll, playing with so much emotion...and sorry, Duke fans, but I have a feeling we're going all the way this year. We finally have a chance to prove to all the big-name sports channels, analysts, etc. that we have what it takes to play against and win over Duke.

Coyote and XenaTrek> My team will avenge your loss by winning over Duke! How's that? ;)

Coincidence?> Did you know that when the Arizona Wildcats won the National Champsionship for the first time back in 1997, we had to defeat 3 teams (Kansas, Kentucky, and another I can't remember right now) that were seeded #1? Guess what's happened so far this year? In the tournament, we've defeated #1 seed Illinois, defeated #1 Michigan State today, and #1 Duke is in our next game...:)

Go, Arizona! :)

Hmm. How does one begin to clean up grammer in a document that is 329,951 bytes or roughly 322 pages? It's in HTML format and the document is the BFTS RP archive.

I was thinking that cleaning up the grammar would be a killer final exam for a college class. Any suggestions for which program to use and estimates for how long it would take would be appreciated.

Hi. Work was a real killer this past week. Actually it was just very busy which is fine with me the day goes so much faster. Of course I didn't seem to find the time in the evening to keep in touch. Of course there is a wonderful reason for that. One very special woman knows this and has been referred to as Mrs. Winterwolf in the past. **Winterwolf has a huge smile and looks like he's on cloud nine** Also the few times I was online I've wound up having a good time chatting. ;)

I did manage to squeeze a little time for TGS story, which I liked. Good work Todd!

Jannie> Hey I listen to you! Now agreeing and finding the humor in all that you post is a different story. ;P <leg> Ouch!! Hope that foot heals up without any permanent scars or damage. :( I'm guessing it's better now, after all you were able to make a joke about it which is a good sign.

Shadowrider> I miss you. Better make time and send a letter. If anyone wants me to say anything let me know I'll add it in.

Lady Mystic> You sure you don't want to post in here more often? I really like reading your posts.

SOROW> **HUGS** I wish you luck in your dances!

Dreamie> **gasps** You fiend! Tickling me until I went unconscious! Uh, what happened after that!?!?

Lynati> You're welcome! I see you like glazed donuts over chocolate muffins... (I know someone will have to comment on that now that I've pointed it out.) Now if we are talking Crispy Creme I can understand! ;D

Caliope> **HUGZ** Que hay de nuevo? <Japanese class> Those darn kiddies using grandma to keep you from class? I have to put my fuzzy foot paw down on this one! Naughty kids! <robbers return> GAH! **HUGZ** I hope you get your stuff back. Also I say it's time to round em up and get them to pay you back double by performing grueling backbreaking manual labor. As princess of PR and Queen of Typo I'd say you release the bunnies of doom on them! Oh and sleeping in excess doesn't agree with me either. But I imagine it gives you more than enough time for little Cali fun on your brother... I remember you said you have one right? <Roswell> **bounces** Cali Cali! This Monday it will be a new one! ;D <birthday> Gracias Caliope! Soy veinte nueve. No dices por favor. ;P **HUGZ**

TGS> Well I can certainly say I appreciate all the work that the TGS staff puts into the stories! It was the reason I popped in here at first. I'd like for all the staff to get more recognition for their work. I know I've enjoyed so many stories here and haven't taken the time to just say how I felt about each one.

CR> The first time I came in here I figured it would be great to share feelings and opinions of the current stories. I soon found it was a wonderful place where I could chat with other people that had common interests. I'd like to more or less remain the same, I'd like to see an end to flaming but that's just not a simple request. Everything we take in has different effects on each of us and we react differently. I could unintentionally post something that really rubs someone the wrong way and could escalate depending on what else is posted. In the end we all have to act like adults and accept that we are different and will have our differences.

At this site I wanted to point out I also managed to learn about the Gathering. Going last year to the Gathering in Florida was special to me, and the next Gathering promises to be so much more so. ^_^

DPH> <uno y uno es cero> Dos es cero? Or are you playing Uno? :D

Congratulations to Lain and Aaron. I think both of you will make excellent additions as CR staff!

School locker and bell> 10 minutes is accurate. I never got a locker in school except for gym. They seemed to be there only for decoration. :P

Aingeal> I know I told you on time in chat but Happy Belated Birthday! ;)

Doug and Kit> **bounces up and down** You're back! Hurray! I feel so much better now! Please stay and be regulars again. ^_^

Lain> I hope you friend manages to stay away from hurting herself. :(

Allaine> Hi and welcome to the CR.

Christine> Congrats on the books deal. I hope that the deal is a good one. <lack of info> I know I'd rather know and deal with it. **sigh** Well I'm glad it worked out at least. <birthday> Happy Birthday! :)

Dating> Here is my take on it. As I guy I will go out and ask a woman I'm interested in on a date. Also I'll ask female friends if they want to go hang out or just have fun. Now on the other hand I have no problem if a girl wants to ask me. Now are women scary? Well the thing is when I really want it to work out I get nervous and anxious. I don't want to make a fool of myself or ruin a relationship before it even starts. ;) In the end though it just takes me a little longer but I will go and seek out the woman of my dreams. Then find out if it's love or we're just good friends. Oh I should have given a sappy alert there! **laughs** Still that's me.

Niamhgold> YAY! No I haven't been stressing just busy. It sure makes the day go fast though! ^_^ How have you been? It seems like a while since we've talked or written. ;)

Jannie> May your good deed return to you times over in good fortune. It warms my heart to hear stories like that. :)

Cheers! A full Niamhgold post! ^_^

Niamhgold> **pounce** I had to join in! ^_^ <better see you hanging around the online reunion> Well I'll just have to be in the online reunion then! :) <heavy workload> I shudder to think about those numbers. That's almost 1 out of every 8 students! Well if you need a quick pick me up I hope you know I'd be more than happy to do whatever I can for you! **huggles** <Gathering artwork> I'm still looking forward to seeing all your stuff! ;) <pics in the online reunion> Oh now I'm going right after this post! I have to see. All the different artwork of yours has been an amazing visual treat to me!

I'm at the top but for how long? LOL

Until next time! Bye all!

** Niamhgold enters ***

Hola, all, como estas? I definitely have more down time to post today, thank goodness! And after Gside's coercing, I couldn't resist!

Well, y'all, it's nearing the end of my spring break, and the school year is winding down to a close :) Yay! Just five more weeks and it'll be summer--although I'll be working, it'll be _just_ work, and not work plus a hefty courseload (not until next summer, when I'm (hopefully) going to be taking an overseas art history seminar in Scotland).

Dreamie: ** Pounces back ** Dreamie sighting, Dreamie sighting! You're very welcome, and very deserving, of the praise! My work can't even come close to the splendor of the stuff of yours I've been grateful to see :) It's good to see that there are more than a few intelligent artists out there! Perhaps I can ask that, after the GAthering, you could send pics of the work you had up? Since I never get to go, I never get to see pictures of the artwork :D I like to see what everyone can do!

The Guy and Girl dating thing: I'm all for asking guys out if the situation calls for it. But, like many girls, it's also _very_ nice if the guy will take the initiative--it's also a very attractive thing to do, 'cause it shows confidence. Unfortunately, most of the guys I've been in contact with have little initiative, mostly lazy, and therefore just sit back and wait for the girls to ask :( I think that might be an immaturity thing...?

Happy Belated Birthday, Christine! ** Wheels in a big cake, and, promptly, a scantily-dressed Jericho pops out and begins to strip. Niamhgold blushes and pulls a curtain ** Ehh, err, I think this is going to have to move to an _adult_ CR... ;}

Gside: Hey! ** Pounces and hugs ** So a poli sci course can be done in week by an engineering student? Sure, I believe it... because the workload _is_ light. How about your input...I get to take two free courses at Johns Hopkins next year and I'm having trouble figuring which to take (I want ones that have no relation to my major, meaning anatomy courses are out (I don't want to deal in medical illustration)). Which would you personally take, if you had not yet taken any courses yet of your own? Eeh, it's just an open-ended fun question ;) Are you going to show up at the online reunion? I've got a piece up in the Canon Characters section that I think you'll be most appreciative of ;) It's the first one in the list.

Wintwerwolf: Hey hey again! I've had fun relaxing this break, and I'm going back to a much lighter workload (with the exception of final project assignments.) Apparently, the administration talked to the faculty about heavy workloads because thirty students threatened suicide because of overworking last semester alone. And in a class of only 250, that's a big proportion! ** Hugs ** Anyways, enough with the depressing stuff; better see you hanging aaround at the online reunion!

Kit: Hey, hello to you and Doug! I envy that you can get personal massages for free!

Adios, all!

* SPOILERS FOR SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS *

I also enjoyed this morning's "Zeta Project", although it hadn't occurred to me that Ro's brother looked like Agent West until you brought it up, Doug. And you're right - that is a scary thought. Though at least she's not as incompetent as he is (then again, who is? :) ). The episode in general was a good one, at any rate; we got to learn more about Ro's background, and got a little Shakespeare in the bargain.

I also liked this morning's "X-Men: Evolution". I wasn't surprised by the revelation that Mystique was Kurt's mother (I understand that they've got the same concept in the comics), but I was surprised when it indicated that the blue fur and tail isn't a natural mutation but the result of Magneto tampering with him as a baby. What was really great was fleshing out Mystique's characterization a bit more, especially at the end - for the first time in the series, I actually sympathized with her.

And I've also noticed that next Saturday, they'll be doing a Zeta Project-Batman Beyond crossover - two, in fact. That should be interesting to see.

quick update: the owner of the purse called me back and her property has been returned to her :) She said that someone had broken a window in her car (at the park) and had stolen her purse. She had just cashed a check ($200) so she did loose some money =( She was very grateful for the recovery so that she didn't haven't to go thru the headache of canceling all of the cards & getting a new driver's license. Anyway, all's well that ends well. =)
She offered a reward but I refused and asked that she some day return the favor to someone else in need. *sappy music begins playing in the background*

Ravyn: That *is* a little tasteless ... tell me, exactly *who* signed the ad? (And which player, BTW, Hutson or Bell? ;)
I'd be interested to hear if something similar appeared in the Lansing State Journal ... unfortunately I can't access advertising at websites, and it's been years since I've had a copy.
I'll be the noble one, here, though, and wish your guys the best of luck. But in the end ...

My predicted final score: MSU 74, Arizona 70

Uhm...Just a real quick post to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to Christine. :)

and you ppl talk too much and I procrastinate too much to say more. Which is prolly a good thing ;)

Oh wait!

Guys asking girls out>I think it depends on the firl. If, like Dreamie, they're old fashioned and prefer to be ASKED then wait to be asked. But if they're into equal rightws for women and stuff liek that well then....They should ask guys out as well as be asked! Otherwise they're jsut talking rubbish and only being equal about some things....*shuts up* ;)

Christine> Happy belated birthday! Sorry, my head has been somewhere else these past few weeks. O.o
Anna and I have rumbled a few times these past couple of days over her housekeeping skills - or more correctly, her LACK of skills. I think it's finally soaked into her what is expected.... I'm sure the threats of making her live in her car were of no effect ;)

I have had 7 showings today! *falls over* The first one began at 9:30 (with a 20 minute notice) and so far the 3:00pm one is the last one for the day. One was a re-showing and that's always a good sign :) We leave the house while it's being shown - so I was stuck with the 2 chihuahuas all day. I finally took them to the park for a walking on the hiking trail. Being house and city dogs, they almost passed out from all of the different scents found in the woods. *L* Taco has requested a name change to "Da'nl Jose Boone" (he thinks he's a famous Mexican frontiersman now) ;) Yes, he talks to me.... doesn't your dog talk to you?? ;p It was a beautiful and relaxing walk thru the woods - until I spooked myself with thoughts of how easy a crime could be committed there and no one would hear your screams.... I turned around and came back to the parking lot. Heh, the downside of living in a large city - fear and crime. I'll be glad when I move to Missouri and not have the constant fear or level of awareness that it requires to survive in a larger city.

Doug> darnit! it was a new episode of The Z Project?? bummer! I was able to tape X-Men, but had to leave for a showing before I could tape ZProject. I returned home in time to tape Batman Beyond though and I saw where they are going to merge/crossover the two next Saturday, right?

Wrestling> *shrugs* don't care for it, myself.

Denis> awww =( well, at least you will be receiving a much more powerful computer now! Oh! and by the way.....
thatsMYlinethankyouverymuch! ;p je t'aime mon amour!

Weird thing happened on the way home from the park today... as I pulled out of the park entrance, I noticed a lady's purse in the ditch that had the contents toppled out. I circled back around and went to retrieve it.. sinking in mud up to my ankles =\ The first thing I came across was a VISA credit card and other misc. cards. I was able to locate the billfold, pictures, some make-up, a checkbook and an address book. From the checkbook I was able to call the owner and left her a message saying that I had found her purse. It appears that kids must have stolen the purse since their was no money to be found and the credit cards were still there. I dunno... It felt kind of eerie finding all of it like that and collecting it. I hope that she doesn't think that _I_ took the money! O.o
*chuckles* then again, I'm assuming that there WAS money in the billfold... mine doesn't have any! *L*
Anyway, I've done my boy scout deed for the day and I hope to return the purse and its contents to the owner :)

Girls asking boys for dates: I can't think of one single reason that girls shouldn't ask guys out. Times have changed from when it was unspeakable for a girl to ask a guy out and I would think it is perfectably acceptable now =) We're pretty much away from the days of "Me Tarzan, You Jane".

Well, I'm in possession of the first four episodes of season 3 of ReBoot... on DVD. Fun show... But what IS it with AndrAla and motorbikes? :)

Hiya, Allaine. Welcome to the flock. I wouldn't worry about Buffy/Gargs crossovers, if I were you... I think it's already been done.

Aingeal: Of *course* girls should ask guys on dates. This is the 21st century, remember? Men are bred to be spineless nowadays; we don't have the guts to ask you by ourselves. ;)

Josh: Well, on *my* machine, I've NEVER had to reinstall the OS during the 7+ years I've had it... how's THAT for record? }:) (This is my dad's machine that has been reinstalled, remember?) As for Hudson, well... with his strategic experience, he might be dragged right into an officer position, though probably not a general right away... maybe a colonel or a major... As for Lex and Broadway, well... I never claimed *originality*, did I? ;) And I saw you were joking, but maybe not everyone did? ;)

Gside: Need isn't the word, amigo... but you might want an explanation handy in case visitors drop by. };) Oh, and in case you didn't get the message, I've got the file now.

Lain: Well... you *did* get your friend back on the right track, didn't you? In my eyes, that qualifies as a Healer. There are... other things I could mention, but since you haven't told the entire CR yet, I'm shut up on that topic. As for Valentine... Woohoo, atta boy. };) Girl, you're gonna hafta give the CR FULL photographic documentation of his drunken ramblings there. };)

Lynati: *Snickers* Well... you *can* bring a few pens, so long as the spots won't be spreading. };) But seriously, you were mentioning something about drawing me a little while back? ;)

Well, that's about it. Guess I won't even be looking in properly on the Online Reunion this year... My time zone calculations are way off scale nowayears, so... Ah, well, I'll see if I don't get a window of opportunity... pun intended. }:)

Happy birthday to anyone I have missed.

**FOX NASCAR SERIES**
Ok, is it me or is Stunts getting the short end of the stick when it comes to what his car can do? Everybody can do what his car can do?

2nd, unlimited or not, isn't allowing someone to drive with projectile weapons just a little too unlimited? If you are going to do that, you might as well as let someone drive on the course with 'oil slick' as a feature. No driver would dare leave the ground if they are behind the driver with oil slick as an option.

SJ> Wow, you know a LOT about wrestling. Way cool. And I didn't know that about Jake the Snake. That's so sad. :( Hey, I would love to know what you think about Bret "Hitman" Hart. I know that I don't like the guy because I'm an HBK fan, but I'd love to know what you think of Bret. Especially with his whole "I was screwed by Vince" attitude. :)

More basketball ranting, sorry if you're tired of it already :)> Okay, Coyote, it's crunch time, and your school's going down! I *was* going to be nice today and wish both teams the best of luck, blah blah...nope. Not after I read all the e-mails I got this morning. Quite a few people wrote to tell me that MSU took out a full page ad in OUR Tucson newspaper, in OUR special Arizona basketball sports section, and managed to outrage the entire southern half of Arizona. The ad had a big picture of one of the MSU players, and read, "Good Luck, Wildcats, You Are Going to Need It," and was signed by some of the officials from MSU. Nice. Reeeal classy. One jerk sportswriter I could get over, but taking out a full page ad in your rival city's newspaper? Ooh, I can't wait for the game.

In conclusion...

heya, guys!

I'm connecting from a friend's place. last night, as I shut the comp down for the night, the CPU and the motherboard both died on me, so I had to go buy a new one, and a the box to host it (the older box was the reason the cpu and motherboard died). My friend Alex offered me the RAM and the graphic card (a 3D Prophet, none the less! I almost fell on my hide in shock!) Anyway, I won't be able to attend the old friend Eastern Hemisphere reunion this evening, since Alex will have go to work in 20 minutes and ya'll know how good... not I am when electronic elements are involved!


Christine: Happy Birthday, with a few hours late (blame my cpu!). best wishes with the contract!

Comics news> I'm going to meet my partner Miguel next tuesday, with hopefuly new squetches. At the same time, I'm trying to figure out what to make in the future Wide Eye Online website. Wide Eye Inc (that's the comics' title) need a more definite logo and emblem than the initials written in the Westchester font. More to come tuesday

Jannie> did you get my email, hun? I keep my cellphone open just in case. You have my #, right? Je t'aime le plus!! (c) LSNNL 2001 ;-P

SJ>> sure sure american sperm might be better but the newfies get more sex than anyone else on the continent you know... ;)
not having much in the way of jobs and well.. its kinda cold and dull over there so.. er.. yeah..
;)

oh and val has a melvin?? whatever means that.. though he is cursing (as best GOOD CHRISTIAN BOYS (TM)..) ;) and it appears he was delt an odd and embarrassing blow by his tratorous jeans which has rendered him unable to do anything other than writhe and moan in pain on the bed...
(psssst.. whaza melvin?????)

imzy>> "this passes down to a desire to have their KIDS be American too" no comment.. noooooo comment at ALL... not making a comment, looooook at me making NO comment at all... *smacks self* ;)

SJ again>> i do know about the relations between cutting and anorexia and bulimia and other forms of self abuse.. sadly. :(
but thank you for your concern my friend.. and all of you who are supporting me, jannie, doug.. and all of you.
my friend seems to be doing a little better. Now that Val is here, i dont get to sleep in my room and am sleeping on her floor in a sleeping bag.. so at least we get to see SOME of each other. i think she is leaving to go home next week aswell so.. i hope things go better for her there.
i think also that therapists have a large tendancy to work only when the patient wants to be helped.. :(

lynati>> no, sadly they didnt have any of THOSE either :(

val update: uh oh.. it looks like val got sick of the pain and has turned to alcohol for relief.. but, since hes a GOOD CHRISTIAN BOY (TM) and has never drunk before, just staring at the bottle seems to have been enough..
*val is heard yelling "YOU BET YER LIFE IT ISH!!"* ..as he is currnetly singing TORI AMOS at the top of his slightly sluring lungs..

(pssst... guys are WIERD!!)

Warparoo>> "authorized healer" eh? from whence comes THIS definition????
and complain about vals regiment? heh ehehhehehehehe... er.. ];)

doug>> "another excuse to be nominated for Earth's greatest country" ... *winks and mumbles something about canada being the best place to live and official rankings..* ;)
(and promptly gets an earful from val who drunkenly rambles about the country of TEXAS being the best place on earth..)

anyway.. im going off to take a shower because my father got to shout at me for not being ready to leave my house at 1 30 this afternoon when he said "be ready at 2 00" and then the traffic delays were magically MY fault somehow and i think he is getting angrier and angrier by the day.. and now he pulls these stunts in front of my FRIENDS and makes me have PUBLIC shame.. isnt that nice??
grr..

anyway..
off to the hot water :D

Ravyn:<< **raises her hand with Dreamie** YEAH! Go HBK!!!! >><< Hey, those shorts that Shawn Michaels was wearing for that guest referee match? Those were just dangerous. Register those bad boys as a deadly weapon. I'm not even sure you could call those shorts...mm... **drools** :) >> I suddenly feel so at home.....^_^ And you know, Vince was none too happy the first time Shawn came out wearing those.... But then of course there's ratings....

Doug:<< <wrestling> Oh, come on, man! There have been many way more memorable events since the birth of Christ. >> Yeah, the first unveiling of the sacred and holy little black shorts previously mentioned. Welcome back to you and Kit!

Christine: Congrats on the book deal!

Shinigami:<< I want a sledgehammer. >> O.o Uh... how 'bout a water bottle and a can of "Insta-Sweat: When ya gotta wrestle, ya gotta shine." <<No. We ARE the most perfect women on the planet>> :::stares::: Kay. ^_~ <<Yeah, I miss Shawn. He's so hot and my GOD he's smuggling bananas. >> And if I told you where that innuendo originated you'd... well... nevermind. :::clears throat::: Anyway...Gauze, did I tell you about the Gauze conspiracy? Not to say the man needs it but, it's been known to take place in the entertainment business....some men just like to seem well endowed. :::evil smirk:::

<< Right everyone Patrick was hot as Capt Chavez?>> Yeah! I swear when he first came out I said to myself "Hey, who's the sexy chick?" No really... I SWEAR! :::chuckles and ruffles Patrick's hair:::

SJ:<<To some of us, Vince McMahon is something akin to Christ himself. >> Vince the fictional character or Vince the businessman? ^_~ << I'm gonna show just how much of a mark I really am. >> Yeah! :::high fives SJ:::

XenaTrek:<< Once again I'm hooked >> That's what happens to Marks in remission... once you pop, you can't stop. ^_^

DPH:<< I would like to know, however, why in heck Jesus was ever drawn to be a white Anglo-Saxon and why in heck some idiots ever thought Jesus spoke King James English. >> Because some people have ulterior motives rather than pushing morals on people. "But what about our image?!"

Imzadi:<< Don't you watch South Park? >> I love their....commentaries... on the subject :::chuckles::: << You're Satan, aren't you? >> Are you itching for me to say "Try again later."? ^_^ :::TV Funhouse's Triumph voice::: I kid, I kid.... I *am* satan.

Aingeal:<< What is it that makes it so hard for a guy to ask? Are women really that skary? >> I can honestly say, YES. Some men are so shy about it.. and believe me, you can tell. I do find it kind of funny in a cute little way when they get all nervous like that. :::grins:::So cute.... anyway. I guess you could call it a fear of rejection. Sometimes, however, when those men find a woman they really could see being with for life they go into hot pursuit. Now personally... I would never ask a guy... color me old fashioned but I waited for the right one to come along before I set my phasers to flirt.

Welcome Allaine!!

Imzadi> <<I was saying that poli sci was a joke because of the material, not because of the actual workload>>: But if the workload is light, that usually means they don't have enough material to make an actual major.
<<a poli sci workload for an entire semester could be done in a week by an engineering student...we rule>>: Boo yah, Grandma. Boo yah.
<<Don't dis yourself, dude>>: But it's fun.

<<I'll just lurk for a while so I can figure out who some of you are>>: Me? I'm the nerdish hentai engineer data pirate. They just keep me around because I provide free music (dependant on my obscure tastes) and anime (dependant on request and my collection (Ranma, Goldenboy, Recca, Kare Kano, El Hazard, Kenshin, some others)).

Christine> I forgot before, but congratulations, and may the contract not have anything hidden.

Aingeal> <<Should girls have to ask guys on dates to get one?>>: I propose the question to you in reverse. This whole feminist thing is about asserting what was denied for so long. Well, this is one of them.
<<the girl:guy ratio is about 3:1>>: *insane groin, grin too* Anyway, odd thought, is there a chapter of LABIA there?
<<Are women really that skary?>>: Well, yeah. Nothing can emasculate a man quite like a woman. Conversely, nothing can make a man manly quite like a woman.

Niamhgold> <<Hopefully a better post tomorrow from my desktop>>: You'd better.

Imzadi> <<not engineering though, I don't recognize that!>>: What about MIT? They must at least give you a good amount of competition.

Warpmind: <<have the option to change>>: No duh. And so do mac users. Do you really think that macs can only run MacOS? No. They can run several flavors of LinuxPPC as well as several flavors of Unix. AND we have PC emulators too, so even if we run MacOS we can also run Windows without dual booting! So I am perfectly justified in making fun of you for having to reinstall windows, even if you did it without choice. I've reinstalled MacOS 9 exactly ONCE in the last two years, and that was because I wiped my hard drive purposely to do a clean install. <<Hudson>>: wouldn't he be a little old to start out in the military? I mean, you can't exactly start out as a general. Brooklyn cruising on a bike...I like it. Broadway and Lex...yawn...how unoriginal! <<jesus christ>>: It's called a JOKE.

Jannie: <<college>>: Okay, I'll keep my big trap shut. As for who is to say what's a good school...well, that's kinda in the air. But it seems to me that a "good" school in a particular field would be on a SOME published lists of good schools for that particular field. TIME and Newsweek print stuff like this every year...help me separate the good schools from the not-so-good ones. I'm not judging her school as bad because its not MY school. Quite frankly, I wouldn't want her at my school AND I recognize that there are much better schools for many majors (not engineering though, I don't recognize that!).

Christine: Sucks that your family doesn't tell you stuff...for you. I would love it if my family didn't frantically bother me with every little useless piece of information. But your grandparents in the hospital...that's pretty major. You should have been informed.

DPH: <<why in heck some idiots ever thought Jesus spoke King James English>>: I already explained this. English is god's language. Don't you watch South Park? 8-) <<Brooklyn>>: What would he be Post-TD? Just a retired family man?

Aingeal: <<girls asking guys on dates>>: I am soooo fighting the urge to flame over this. Okay, I'm calm. What follows is thought-out AND edited. No flaming intended. Of course girls should have to ask guys out! In an environment where there are 3 girls for every guy, men become a commodity, and its a "sellers market".

And in an "even" environment (50-50 girls/guys), girls should have to ask guys out, too. Why should we have to deal with all the rejection? Guys have confidence problems too. As someone who was in the "unpopular" crowd in school, I can say that building up the balls to ask out a girl you like is tough (it does get easier, though). <<You want to boost a girl's self esteem>>: Is there something in testosterone that dictates that men don't require confidence boosts now and again? Men like to feel desired too. Confidence and ego, that's what makes it "so" hard for guys to ask. And quite frankly, I think girls are very scary. Just kidding.

I also think its a lot easier for girls to get dates than guys IN GENERAL. Since guys are the ones always searching for sex, the market belongs to the women. I've gone out with girls who weren't that attractive just because they were forward (not that I'll be making that mistake again, but just to give an example). So pick 10% of the balls a guy needs to ask, and ask a guy yourself (why 10%? because women get rejected about 1/10 as often as men). To quote Eric Cartman..."and stop yer bitchin'!"

Okay bizarre event for the day: I'm watching Fight Club (Edward Norton and Brad Pitt). Y'all know the scene where he's going through his apartment and the furniture appears from the IKEA catalog and it all has the names and prices all over it, and the whole apartment looks like a page from the catalog? Well, I saw that scene and I realized..."I HAVE THAT DESK!" Okay I just thought that was weird.

Wrestling: I'm gonna show just how much of a mark I really am.

George "The Animal" Steele: Retired now. The guy has to be in his fifties, at least. Still, you have to love a guy who had a green tongue, enough back hair to make a sweater out of, and who loved to snack on turnbuckles.

"Ravishing" Rick Rude: Unfortunately, no longer with us. Died of a heart attack a couple years ago, he was only in his early forties. Steroids will kill you, folks. Sooner or later.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts: You want to see an absolutely fascinating documentary on wrestling (which is appealing even to non-fans of the business), rent "Beyond the Mat" at your local video store. There's a sizable portion of the movie about Jake. Jake is a sad case. He was conceived when his father, a professional wrestler, raped the 12 yr. old daughter of his current girlfriend. Jake has never overcome his demons. He travels the indy circuits, where people still know and love him. But he's a drug addict, an alcoholic, and estranged from virtually any family he has.

Honky Tonk Man: One of the best gimmicks EVER, a wrasslin' Elvis impersonator. The "Greatest WWF Intercontinental Champion of All Time!" still kicks around on the indies every now and again. He recently did a gig with the WWF, participating briefly in the WWF Royal Rumble in January.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage: In a self-imposed retirement, not because he wanted to quit, but rather because he asks for too much money, and at his age no one wants to pay it to him. He'll be appearing as Spider-Man's wrestling opponent in the big screen SM movie adaption.

Koko B. Ware: The Birdman! I think he's mostly retired, but he might work the indies now and again. Here's hoping that he ate that damn bird.

Brutus Beefcake: The man of a 1,000 gimmicks. Ed Leslie, aka Brutus Beefcake, aka The Butcher, aka Zodiac, aka Booty Man (and what a great gimmick that was!), aka The Disciple. He works the indies, because neither of the big Two want him. He rode Hulk Hogan's coattails for years.

I could go on. I could probably give you detailed info on just about any name you bring up. I've watched wrestling for over a decade now, almost religiously. My knowledge of it is somewhat frightening. Yes, that fact is disturbing. No, I don't have much of a social life.

If you will pardon me, I think TNN is showing a monster truck rally or something.

Wrestling > I used to be heavily addicted to the WWF, but I stopped watching a ways back. Just to give you an idea... Andre the Giant was still around when I was going through my "damn, this is cool!" phase with professional wrestling. I used to live for the regular Monday night show with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. That was when Vince McMahon was content to sit on the sidelines and just collect a paycheck. Now it just seems so over the top... with him and now his kids, too, getting into the ring... it's very soap opera-ish. But while I'm tripping down memory lane... is there anyone else here who remembers any of these guys, or know where they are now: George "The Animal" Steele, Rick Rude, Jake "The Snake", The Honky Tonk Man, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Koko B. Ware, Brutus Beefcake... shall I go on? :P

Hi! I'm back!
wow... two new episodes while I was gone.
Gah! Icarus is still a mystery. I want to learn more about him. That message left by Brooklyn is rather cool.. except, why didn't he have a scribe write the message out? Why didn't he just write it in English or something? I'm surprised he didn't make an effort to make sure it was found by someone in the future. I mean, who's to say it would even be found until centuries after he dissapeared, or even found at all? Surely Brooklyn could have asked one of the Egyptian "gods" to deliver it to Xanatos before attending the Gathering or something... oh well. It was still a neat story.

Heylo!

Welcome backsih to Doug and Kit... good to see you.

I've got a question! This is for open discussion, i'm curious what responses off this campus are. This question appeared in the most recent edition to the school newspaper.

"Should girls ask guys on dates?" My question is about the same... Should girls have to ask guys on dates to get one? (This stems from the fact that I'm on a small campus (we're talking 400 students) and the girl:guy ratio is about 3:1)

I don't think so. I've heard "we dont want to get hurt" and "dating is to get to know people and look for a mate, on this campus you do that in class, why date?" and stuff like that. Personaly I think it's garbage. You want to boost a girl's self esteem, ask her out, just for a good time, hang out, have fun. I don't know about others, but i'm fed up with having to track down guys to take to dances and stuff. I'm not bad looking, this much i know from being told (tho some mornings my mirror argues, but thats not the point...) What is it that makes it so hard for a guy to ask? Are women really that skary? sheesh.

Ok.. i'll stop... I dont' want a flame war people, i'd like comments, because i don't think that the school paper did this justice. And if it helps... keep with the kute lil song from Bambi "If you can't say something nice, Shh! say nothing."

Hope to see interesting perspectives.

That's the kind of stuff I love to read this time of the year. :) I hope to see you later online! I'm expecting the game to be a very tough, very exciting battle. Should be a wonderful, wonderful game. Good luck to both teams!

Welcome, Allaine! :)

Shinigami> Hey, those shorts that Shawn Michaels was wearing for that guest referee match? Those were just dangerous. Register those bad boys as a deadly weapon. I'm not even sure you could call those shorts...mm... **drools** :) **LOL at the banana-smuggling** YEAH! :)

Christine> I'm sorry about your family not notifying you! I agree with you...I'd rather be told about something, whether it worries me or not. Communication is important in families.

Coyote> **hugs** I can't wait for the game!!!!!! Gosh, it should be GREAT!

Check out the games if you get a chance! Go, Arizona! :)

Finally, another weekend off. Unless management changes its mind.

1+1=-3

Jesus Picture - well, I know I had someone in my church admit a few years that Jesus was not an Anglo Saxon so I doubt there will be any religious fall-out. I would like to know, however, why in heck Jesus was ever drawn to be a white Anglo-Saxon and why in heck some idiots ever thought Jesus spoke King James English.

Occupations for Gargoyles - Goliath would obviously be a body guard. Lexington would be computer related. Brooklyn (pre-TD) would be a comedian. Broadway would have his own cooking show. Hudson would make money by selling books of his memories of Castlye Wyvrn.

**BFTS RP continues**
DPH couldn't believe his ears, "You want ME to go a mission. Why?"

The page replied, "ITAG found a gateway to another universe. You are one of the most qualified for this kind of mission."

DPH replied, "When do I leave? Will I have any others going with me?"

The page said, "Right away. You will be briefed on the mission on your way there."

DPH stepped into a plane and started a trip to the middle of the Amazon Rain forest.

And I loved the way she went from "Aww, poor Elizabeth's going bye-bye" to "I saw this coming" in her confessional ... by the look on Amber's face, _she_ sure didn't see it coming ... way to go, Colby, Keith, and Tina! It was time. It was strategically sound, still giving them the voting edge (unless Amber develops a personality and goes rogue on them, which would make her the swing vote and I'd find that very interesting), and they've gained a measure of peace and serenity around the camp.

Aaron > well, the trouble with that is all the shambling and lurking in dank cyclopean caves, not to mention being rugose ; )

Thanks for the congrats on the book news! I have given my initial 'yes,' so now I am waiting on the contract itself just to make sure I'm not signing away my firstborn or anything like that.

Bit of familial grumbling ahead --

What is it with people withholding bad news because they "didn't want to worry you"? In the past two weeks, Tim and I both learned that each of our paternal grandmothers had been in the hospital, his for a heart event and mine for pneumonia, and nobody told us a thing until well after the fact. Plus, my carrying-twins sister-in-law was also in the hospital with complications, and we only heard of it after she was out and doing okay. Not wanting to worry us, you see. Is it just me, or is that kinda irksome? I'd rather know, so that I could at least send my well-wishes ... and certainly wouldn't want to not have the chance to say goodbye because someone didn't want to worry me. Come on ... worry me ... I'd take worry over the guilt and loss of not being there, any day! I can chalk up some of it to the fact that my family's never been the best at keeping in touch, but still!

End grumbling, sorry, just needed to vent that a little.

SJ> You owe me a keyboard ;p

Josh> re: trying to persuade your friend from attending the college of her choice. Personally, I wouldn't say anything to her about it. This is her choice and she apparently has found something at this particular college that appeals to her. In most of corporate America - they don't give a rat's ass which college you graduated from - only that you have the degree they are looking for. Sure, there are those few times when it does have the advantage, but for mainstream corporations, they don't care. There are many times when the degree doesn't even have to "match" the job... example: Duke Energy Corp. I know one manager of Transmission (natural gas company) has a degree in forestry, one senior purchasing agent has a teaching degree in History... they don't care *what* your degree is, they just want you to have one. Of course, there are specialized fields that you need to have the degree to match - but there are many more positions in a company than just the specialized ones.
Besides, who is to say that it's not a good school? Are you somewhat prejudiced towards your own school? ;)

Lain> I agree that your friend needed a shoulder and helping hand... however, please remember that you are not a professional. This girl needs more professional help. If the current therapist is not working for her, then encourage her to find another one. Ask your friend if she'll give you the name and number of the therapist so that you can call him/her should your friend become distraught to that point again. It's good that she felt comfortable enough with you to want to talk about things with you, but believe me - if it becomes more than just that or she arrives at your doorstep in that bad of shape on a frequent basis, she needs _professional_ assistance.

Sorry Coyote, didn't get your email til after reading TCR. Yahoo (all of it) was down for about an hour this morning. Thanks for the article link.

Re: Statenews Article >> I think I have heard of this Kevin Caufield before, or perhaps it was someone very similar to him. Like Ravyn I am very unhappy w/ this article. It shows poor sportsmanship. I want to know who and where he is getting his sources from. I have seen UA play, and they play hard (especiall Woods, and that other guy... can't remember his name, I want to say Jefferson, but I think thats the wrong one). Now that I have completely absorbed the article, like Rav I would like to see Caufiels follow up report if UA does indeed beat UA. Eventho he is using free speech and is voiceing his opinions, I think he is commiting slander.

I'm not good w/ guessing scores, but I say both schools will be in the low to mid 70's down to the final seconds. I am expecting a hard and fast pace game. Good luck to both schools.

(Hm, an image? Nah, don't wanna step on anyone's toes. Oh, uh, I'm on the air . . . oops.)

Okay then, this is just me saying hello (well, I sorta already introduced myself on a chat room last night, but that was just a little thing). Once upon a time I was a devoted fan of Gargoyles, and even after they cancelled the show I devoured the fanfic (the Athena/Ares stuff was just so inspiring), but after a couple years I sort of drifted away.

Then, last week for some unknown reason, I decided to pop by this website for another look. Maybe it's because I started doing Gargoyles x-overs with my "Buffy Vampire Slayer" fanfic, or maybe just because I started thinking about the good old days. I don't know, but from Saturday until today I ended up plowing through the entire Gargoyles/Pendragon saga. It was amazing how easily I was able to slip back into the series (which I still miss terribly, especially when you consider that there may never be a show so incredibly innovative and new), and how well the various writers were able to summon the spirit of Gargoyles.

So now I'm just re-entering the fold, happy to say. Figure I'll just lurk for a while so I can figure out who some of you are, and in the meantime I'll just dive into some of the other fanfics and wait to see what happens in the Saga (very exciting stuff, although after the things that have recently been suggested about Demona have me, oh what's the word, oh yeah, frantically panicking). Just letting y'all know that sometimes you can go home again (Thomas Wolfe, wasn't he great?).

Sincerely, Allaine (who thinks posting his Garg/BtVS x-overs would be a very _bad_ idea :P)

*comes out of hiding*

SJ> "Transformers: Robots in Disguise" is the dubbed version of the Japanese series "Transformers: Car Robots" which aired over there last year (and may still be airing, but I'm not sure there). It features a group of vehicular Autobots battling a group of monstrous Predacons in modern-day Earth, both being time-travellers from the future. So it's sorta like a combination of the Beast Wars concept with old-school TFs.

The single problem is, they took away most of the unique names for the characters from the Japanese show. For example, the Autobot leader was Fire Convoy (since Convoy is the Japanese name for Optimus Prime and he's a fire truck) but they renamed him just plain-vanilla "Optimus Prime" for the U.S. Now, "Fire Convoy" is kind of a weird name for America, but surely they coulda done better than that. Same for Predacon leader Gigatron, who's now just called Megatron (I like the Japanese name WAY better).

But other than that bit of lameness, a lot of TF fans liked Car Robots in its original airing, so unless they really botch the dub, this should be decent. :) Plus, the toys are pretty dang cool, and might include some retooled releases of classic G1 Transformers too.

And that's all I has ta say.

Alright, another post before I bow to the great pillow gods.

Coyote: It may not be typical of MSU, but it IS typical of college sports.

Gside: <<12 credits per>>: Actually, every major at UC Berkeley is 15 credits per, but the question is how many of those credits are pass/not pass instead of letter grades? For engineering, its a max of 16 credits (4 classes, and they HAVE to be humanities classes) can be taken pass/fail. Philosophy, by contrast, allows 40 units of pass/fail classes. I was saying that poli sci was a joke because of the material, not because of the actual workload (though I hear that a poli sci workload for an entire semester could be done in a week by an engineering student...we rule!). <<being not only an engineer, but also a computer scientist>>: Don't dis yourself, dude. My roommate is an overweight ugly CS major, but his last girlfriend was damn cute (assuming you dig skinny chicks). He does alright, girl-wise. Even CS guys get laid occasionally 8-).

Sev Jr: <<brain shut down>>: LOL <<sperm>>: I don't think that Canadians ARE americans, I just think they aspire to BE Americans, and this passes down to a desire to have their KIDS be American too. LOL on taste testing.

Jesus Christ: Oh come on! Everyone knows Jesus was a white property owner. And he spoke English, too, cuz that's god's language! Why do you think that "all men are created equal" means "white male property christian property owners" are created equal? hehe...

P.S. I am an atheist.

YES! A new Kevin Smith movie!!!

Boot camp: I'm trying to decide if this is as white-trashy as Survivor. If it is, then I know I'm being a bit hypocritical by even showing an interest in the entertainment possibilities (though I have not yet watched the show). But how can this even come close to FMJ? I mean, the colorful language is what makes FMJ so funny.

McVeigh: Oh, the money the gov't could make if they made his death a pay per view event!

Massages: Hmmm...that sounds like fun right about now. Note to self: call massage parlor...oops.

Okay, its time for my OS X rant. Most of you know me as a die-hard mac evangelist, so I'm gonna work VERY hard to make this impartial. That said, most of this will be BITCHING about how much I CURSE OS X! I can FINALLY get online in OS X now that I'm on a modem. See, drivers aren't yet available for my waveLAN card (later this month, supposedly), so I can't get online with X at Berkeley. But on a slow-ass modem, no problem! So I downloaded (slowly) AIM, ICQ, iCab...for X. They're all betas, but they provide basic functionality. AIM is missing a lot of its bells and whistles. ICQ's settings importer doesn't work, so I have to wait for people to IM me. And iCab doesn't have very good java support. IE, the default browser that comes with X, is the ONLY program that consistently crashes on the machine. Not only that, but the browser is slow and takes forever to start up and shut down. So, being online in X was a...learning...experience. I learned that OS X (the release version) is really just Public Beta 2.0. This is why its not being pre-installed on macs until summer and why NO user in their right MIND should completely switch over.

I too have heard of Fray, and will definitely be getting my hands on it when it comes out in June. :) Looking forward to that last View Askew film also. Thanks for all the entertainment news, distressing as some of it (Big Brother, IKWYDLS 3) may be. Glad to hear Kirsten Dunst is gonna be MJ Watson, she is hot and that role needs someone, ahem, hot. <flicks his collar nervously and blushes while he grins> She should act it well too. <Christ photo> Hey, I always knew he had dark hair at least, probably dark skin too. He lived in Arabia for crying out loud, everybody has at least tanned skin over there. The photo may or may not be accurate, I for one think it is and eagerly await the religious fallout. Hope it comes soon. :) <American sperm> It's better than Canadian? Alright! :) Why don't we test it against the rest of the world's now, get another excuse to be nominated for Earth's greatest country? <sees many weird looks directed his way> Ok, maybe not. One last thing, SJ- I agree with you 100% on cutters. They are crazy, and the practice is dangerous and something that should definitely be stopped wherever it pops up.

Lain: Forgot to say this earlier. I hope your friend is doing okay, I'm as worried about her as you are. So's Kit. I'm sure you're doing whatever you can to assist her, hope it's working. SJ's already given the best advice I could as far as a permanent solution. I agree that professional help would be a good thing for your friend. However, I do recall you saying that she's had help and so far it's not working. :( Sorry to hear that. I hope things change soon, and if another solution exists, you and she will find it and take it. If y'all were in the States, I'd recommend checking her into a state hospital for a while so she can come to grips with herself and her problem a la the main character in Girl Interrupted, but I don't know if that option's available up where you are nor if it would be best. Whatever happens, I'm keeping both you and her in my prayers. Congrats on having Valentine there with you and Lynati too if she still is. Hope y'all are having lots of fun. <back and shoulders massage> :) I could use one of those now myself. Oh, Lisa...<grins and ducks out>

Lots of stuff tonight.

First off, Doug, thank you for your email. I appreciate it. Hopefully, we'll be able to move past recent events, and you and Kit *will* become regular posters again.

But you obviously underestimate the loyalty of the die-hard wrestling fan. To some of us, Vince McMahon is something akin to Christ himself. ;)

Oh, and speaking of Christ….who else has seen the picture of the "historically accurate" Jesus that they've been touting around? Bit of a shock, isn't it? Not the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Scandinavian hunk that we're all used to, huh? Personally, I think they've found a way to destroy Christianity. Not a lot of us whiteys gonna worship a Savior that looks like that.
I'm kidding, of course, lest you start sending me nasty emails. Personally, I think this is accurate. I've said all along that the real Jesus didn't look like a Norseman. Frankly, I'm surprised that it's taken them this long to actually realize that Jesus didn't look like an Anglo-Saxon.

Tim McVeigh: I'll give this bastard some credit-at least he's going ahead and letting himself get poisoned out of this existence. After all, if he wanted to play games with the legal system, he could appeal his case for the next several years, at least, and my tax dollars would be going to prolonging this SOB's life. I guess he wants to cut down on government waste. Too bad he bombed a few people into oblivion in the process.
Frankly, I wish they would have fulfilled his wishes and broadcast his execution. Personally, I'd rather enjoy watching them send his ass straight to hell.

Harry Potter / Larry Potter: This could be all coincidence, but to use that famous quote, "If coincidences are coincidences, why do they always feel so contrived?" Or something like that. Personally, I might take some sort of perverse pleasure if this was a case of plagiarism.
But even if it was, she's got zero chance of ever getting anything off of the Harry Potter people. The best she can hope for is to raise a huge stink around the time that the movie comes out. She does that, maybe they throw her a few bucks just to shut her up and end the negative publicity.

This is a neat little story I heard on the radio, and I send it out to all of our good friends from the Great White North (lain, Lynati, etc.)…..apparently, scientists did a study of sperm banks / fertility clinics in the USA and Canada (proving my theory that human beings as a whole have WAY too much time on their hands). Their findings? American men had "better sperm". This means that, apparently, the "quality" of sperm was better and more viable in American men than in Canadian men (Behold the power of the American male! ;). These scientists performed several tests to determine these findings, and I'm sincerely praying that a taste test wasn't one of them.
But apparently, this lack of viable or quality sperm has led many Canadian women or couples to head to the US sperm banks for help. Boy, when I said that Canadians were really just Americans, I guess I really was correct huh? ;) :p

Sweet, little, precious, beautiful (I'm picking on you, Jannie! ;) lain: Is your friend a cutter? That's becoming ridiculously en vogue. I've known a few girls who cut themselves, or have done so. I've also heard some psychological theories that the psychology surrounding cutting is something very similar to anorexia. The two disorders are very similar. Cutting is a more recent phenomena, in the sense that it's just now getting serious attention. It's a way to express rage and grief and tension; it's also self-mutilation. I know you want to help and support your friend, but if you can, you should try and convince her to stop cutting herself (and if she's open to the idea, to try and get her to maybe see someone, a professional, if this behavior can continue). Cutting can be really dangerous. I've known a couple people who have to wear long sleeve shirts from now on because their wrists look like a roadmap.

**REALITY SHOWS**
Survivor: Well, they finally did it-Jerri, or as she is more affectionately known, "The Queen Bitch", is gone. On the one hand, that's good-she was a bitch, she annoyed me, she tried to manipulate everyone and everything that she could. On the other hand, she WAS the most interesting character left in the outback. Oh well, at least my lovely little Elizabeth is still around.

Boot Camp: Did anyone catch this show? I love it. There is nothing better than watching drill instructors just laying into people. It was great! Almost like Full Metal Jacket, but without the great language. Still, who could forget such great lines as "Save the drama for you mama!" or not enjoy watching the one drill instructor rip apart the balloon animal with his teeth and scream "GET OUT OF MY FACE!" Then you get a clip of that same instructor describing himself. "I like to think of myself as a pretty nice guy…" Of all the Survivor clones, this is one of the most fun. It's the utter humiliation of the 'recruits', I think.

And speaking of reality shows…..just when you thought that it was gone for good…..Big Brother looks to return this summer. The way that CBS is going to try and "spice" it up this time is have the actual house members vote people out of the house (before they just nominated them for "banishment").
I think the CBS folk are just hitting the crack pipe a little too hard. Look, you got Survivor-be happy with that. No one gives a damn about this Big Brother show.
***END REALITY TALK***

***AND ONTO ENTERTAINMENT NEWS!!!****

Animated Buffy: Well, this does seem to be the talk of all the websites. Apparently, yes, Buffy: The Animated Series will take place, and has been put on the fast track, so we may see it as soon as a year from now. I'm hoping that they obtain the original cast members for the show. I'd rather hear Sarah Michelle Gellar than a voice actress trying to sound like SMG.
But there is one criticism of Joss Whedon that I heard over this that I think has merit---Joss was complaining that the WB views Buffy as a "kids show". If that is true, than developing an animated Buffy show FOR kids doesn't really help the impression much, does it? Not that I won't watch the show, though. Hell, if Whedon's involved, I'm pretty much there.

And speaking of Whedon, I just got my new edition of Previews magazine yesterday, and one of the solicitations for comics to ship in June was Whedon's comic book debut. It will be an 8 issue limited series entitled "Fray", published by Dark Horse Comics (who, of course, own the Buffy / Angel comic book license). Here's the specifics:
"You've never seen a world like this, and neither has she. She's Melaka Fray, a beautiful, young girl that's about to meet her destiny, whether she wants to or not. In the future, the world is a manmade, hopeless hell. Add to that vampires, demons and other grim, supernatural threats that cower in shadows and skulk late-night streets. When the forces of darkness come calling, Fray will be transformed from street urchin of a disposable society to its only savior. And heaven help her if she fails."
So, basically it sounds like Buffy in the future. If you want to check it out, the first issue (priced at $2.99) will hit stores on June 6.

In addition to the Buffy series and the "Evolution" series, apparently we will also be getting 39 heaping episodes of the latest Transformers series, "Transformers: Robots in Disguise". Anyone know anything about this? Robby? Sounds like they're going back to the original concept (I hope).

The next (and final) View Askew movie by Kevin Smith is rolling along. The film will star such fan favorites as Ben Affleck, Ben's "special friend" Matt Damon (known as Will Hunting in the movie ;), Shannon Doherty (possibly reprising her role from Mallrats), Alanis Morrissette (possibly portraying God again?), Eliza Dushku, Carrie Fisher, and my fave, Mark Hamill as a character called "Cock Knocker". ;)

Sorry to disappoint all of you, but the rather buxom Jennifer Love Hewitt has announced that there will be no "I Know What You Did Last Summer 3". A tragedy. I'm broken up about it, and I'm sure you are too.

And finally, Kirsten Dunst, who plays Mary Jane Parker in the upcoming Spider-Man movie, was interview recently about her work for the film. Apparently, she says that she has had to spend lots of days shooting scenes in the rain wearing skimpy outfits and…..and….
I'm sorry folks, the thought of Kirsten Dunst in skimpy outfits makes my brain shut down.

Gunjack> Good luck recovering your luggage.
<<his umbrella is still safe>>: Ah, the wonders of having a dirty mind.
<<Lain is introDUUUUCING me to the wonders of the sCHNorf>>: Ditto.

Lynati> <<lacy little...wait. No, that won't help you much, will it?>>: You'd be surprised.

Calíope> <<I hate fences...fences suck>>: Only if you have to dig out the old concrete anchored post and replace it with a new post which you must then fill with concrete (besides the anchor). Then, soupyness becomes your friend.

Aaron> <<the best way to hold your head>>: I actually said hair, but that's also part of it.
<<allowing the cute girl doing it better access to your head>>: That would require a cute girl, of which I am currently out. And, being not only an engineer, but also a computer scientist, I may as well apply for a position as a eunich, for all the use I'll get out of it.
<<I always thought the Smurfs were 99% gay myself>>: But who gets to be in the 1% besides her?

CtB> <<characters for some reason are all named after cakes>>: Is that any worse than produce, dairy products, or toiletries?

...wait, dang, I just admitted it to all of you. :) Oh, well. If everything works out as planned, it should be one HECK of a game. I highly recommend everyone in here checking it out if you can, and see what Coyote and I have been so darn excited about. I promise you'll see two of the most talented and classy basketball programs in the nation. (although whether their respective sportswriters are classy is still up for grabs) ;)

Josh: I beg your pardon, but that sort of thing is *not* in any way the typical thing MSU does. We've had to put up with YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS of similar arrogant BS from that other school in Ann Arbor (which is a helluva lot cleaner than what I'd *like* to use) and even still deal with it ... a letter to the Detroit News in the last week told us MSU fans to "just give it up" because supposedly "no matter how many championships you win, Michigan's teams will always be better, so you may as well resign yourself to that fact."

The *hard fact* that MSU beat Michigan twice this past basketball season ... the first time being a *51* point victory *IN ANN ARBOR* ... notwithstanding.

So basically, the article was totally uncalled for. And it also just gave 'Zona ammunition and inspiration, because if Ravyn got it all the way in Tucson there's no doubt in my mind that someone got it to the Wildcat basketball team and it's now firmly placed on a bulletin board in the 'Zona locker room in Minneapolis.

Jannie: <<apparently tenure was not a consideration in their decision>>: Okay, the curiosity is killing me. What WERE the deciding factors. And where/when was the applicaton process?

The Job: Keith David!? And here I thought all he could do was Wisk and Army commercials! I'll be watching intently now. Hey everyone, if the gargoyles were unconditionally and totally accepted (i.e. fantasy world), what kind of jobs do you think the canon and TGS gargs would get (cuz Elisa can't support them all and I KNOW goliath doesn't want to live off Xanatos forever)? I know some people have written fics about this, so I want to know what you guys think. I mean, there are obvious choices (Lex becoming a programmer) but does anyone have interesting ideas?

Lynati: <<I think it was the bra>>: I once wore an old dog tag from my grandpa to bring me luck on a test. It worked...I don't know how much luck you can get from undergarments...ON TESTS. I've proved conclusively though that luck in other areas can be gained from "lucky" undergarments. On a similar note, I have a pair of Lucky brand jeans that say 'Lucky You!' on the inside of the fly.

DPH: <<fewer than 5 regular posters>>: I'd leave too. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

Cali: Can I be the pimp? Or is that one of those "if you have to ask, the answer is NO" kinda things?

Doug! Kit! You're back! Become regular posters, PLEASE! The room needs regular posters to STAY interesting!

This just in: my ex-girlfriend is very excited about getting into a college that's really not that impressive (her first choice, though). I mean, she's a bright girl (even reflecting on some of the really dumb sh*t she did when we dated), she gets good grades, she's had work experience, good SAT scores, she's an actress, all that fun stuff. Sounds to me like she'd be a shoe-in for a REAL school. Should I just be happy for her and keep my big trap shut or should I urge her to apply somewhere good?

Revel: <<a particular song comes to mind>>: you're an @$$hole-ee-oh-ee-oh too?

Christine: Congrats!

Aaron: <<Demona Testosterone Legion>>: I think that group is more about "skinny blue chicks in loincloths and half-halter tops are hot", not "crazy chicks are hot". Although some crazy chicks ARE hot (popularity tends to do weird things to the mind), many crazy chicks are crazy BECAUSE they're ugly.

Rayvn: Chill out! It was the freakin paper from your COMPETITOR's school! It should bash you! Jeez. They are supposed to be arrogant. You should see the stuff that goes on at Berkeley around the time of the Stanford game...boy is it ugly. But its all in good fun. That's what college sports are about.

Survivor: I officially couldn't care less. The only thing that is white trashier than survivor is wrestling.

Mara: <<Right everyone Patrick was hot as Capt Chavez?>>: Um...no. <<kiss the admin booth>>: LOL...requires more female admins... <<speed 2 sucked>>: Amen, despite the fact that I had a crush on sandra bullock at the time.

Yummy! I want one... No wait. I just remembered I'm a Triple H mark... Um.... This year, for my twentieth birthday.. I want a sledgehammer.

SJ<<you both know so much about pro wrestling makes me feel that you two are perhaps the most perfect women on the planet.>>
Dreamie<<No we’re just.... uh... :::thinks::: Unresponsive to Social norms. Yeah that’s it........ ^_~>>

No. We ARE the most perfect women on the planet. Dreamie with her first prize Award winning abs and me with my made up award from Thom because he couldn't get away with anything Dirty to award me with for my skimpy Masquerade outfit. Come to the Gathering, I'm dressing up in my old Parochial School uniform for the first day. Yes, with the white thigh highs and the shiny Maryjanes.

Patrick<< I need to keep my hair short anyway if I'm gonna do a reprise of my Capt. Chavez costume. I've had multiple requests now to do an encore. >:) >>

Well come on. You were hot. Right everyone Patrick was hot as Capt Chavez?

Warpmind: You're a Minister in the Universal Life Church or something like that, right?
Can you perform marriage ceremonies?

Ravyn::<< I just think this whole new wrestling angle is sooo interesting...who would have ever thought that Vince would just up and buy his rival? So brilliant! And Shane has to rank up there on the importance scale...but I only have one comment... ...Bring back Shawn Michaels! Yeah! **grins and laughs** :) >>

Yeah, I miss Shawn. He's so hot and my GOD he's smuggling bananas. Did you see that one match with Triple H and Rock that Shawn was guest referee? He had to pull his referee shirt down over that bulge after awhile. Anyway, the McMahons are brillant.Motherfinger brillant. I love how Shane's now making friendly with the WWF talent during Smackdown.

Gunjack:: <<Hey Aaron, wanna make a deal? If you post some odds on ME, I'll post some on YOU as soon as I get back hom (ie, in a week).>> I dont know if Aaron has any thought of yet... But with that backrub your getting, how about odds on threat of arrest on public indecency charges. For both you guys and for us. :D

Jannie<< *giggles* I will only place my lips on Aaron's behind when it's politically necessary ;) j/k!! He is a cutie though *nodnodnod* >> I've given it a thought and probably will just set up a "Kiss your Co-admistrator's cute behind for a quarter" booth.
You owe me a quarter. LOL.

Aaron<<SJ> <<Nothing is hotter than a crazy girl.>> Hence the Demona Testosterone Legion. But I agree with your assessment of Mara.>>

What? That I, along with Dreamie, am the most perfect woman in the world? Or that I'm a hot crazy girl? Little of both? Lot of both? Well I guess Marina won't be the only one giving out spankings this summer. That's it. I want a paddle to go along with my sledgehammer. Mwahaha.

Aaron again.<<"I'm in a distance relationship. My girlfriend filed a restraining order." >>
LOL.


Anyway, that seems to be it for today folks. God bless, God speed. God bless Speed.

Just thought I'd drop by again.
Here are a few of my thoughts

1) This week's gargs episode was exceptional. I really liked the portrayal of Brooklyn in this ep.
2) I want to see Season three of Dark Ages! I loved the 1st and 2nd so why not a 3rd?

Aaron: The first one was Sorceror Hunters, whose central characters for some reason are all named after cakes. (the Misu sisters, Tira and Chocolate; Carrot Glace and his brother whose name I forget; and a huge blond swordsman by the name of **rolls eyes** Gateau.)

Ravyn: Your outburst was more than justified, love, especially after I read the article. (I actually was incensed enough to write a rather attitudinal letter to the editor of the State News)
And XenaTrek, don't come down too hard on the girl, click my name link and read the article for yourself, and you'll see that her rage was justified; in my response to the editor I mentioned that the writer should "go back to U of M where that sort of pompous arrogance BELONGS."

I’m back. Well the beginning of this week has been a real killer. It’s finally slowing down a little.

******TGS SPOILERS******

I’d love to really go over this in detail.

This is story is, for me, the best one of the season so far. It is a well thought out and constructed tale adding more to the events of Brooklyn’s timedancing. It also serves to illustrate how the trio, while certainly not as it used, still has family bonds that bring them together. There are many high points including the trio, Brooklyn’s conflicts and memories, Sekhemet showing she is more than a one dimensional character and finding a better solution to dealing with magical talismans. There were a few things I thought could use polishing but overall I say Bravo on a wonderful story!

******END TGS SPOILERS******

Thanks to everyone that liked the general thoughts.

Unfortunately I don’t have time for any replies at the moment. :(

Imzadi> **sticks her tongue out at him** Okay, okay, you got me with the silly "We'll win" line. :P But still, I'm serious, we're going to...:)

Doug> Hey! Nice to see you again. :)

Gunjack> Hm...sounds like you're having one heck of a time up North. ;)

Another rant by me...sorry, Coyote> Pleeeeease don't take personal offense to this, anyone. But I'm officially mad at Michigan State University. This morning, I got ahold of a newspaper article by the sports editor of the Michigan State News. And I've got to say, it was very creative...but also arrogant, mean-spirited, and rude. Now I know I shouldn't judge the entire school on one article, blah blah...but darn it, that newspaper's still a reflection on MSU, and I didn't like what I saw one bit. They attacked players personally, when they don't even know what the players are like off the court, and also attacked Lute Olson...which is unfounded, I believe, no matter who you are. I mean, come on, the guy will most likely be inducted into the hall of fame any year now. Plus, when you actually know what he's had to go through this year off and on the court, you just *don't* make fun of him for it. Not nice. And you do NOT make fun of people for who their fathers are, like they did with one of the players. I just wish the writer knew the players and the program like I do, or at least did *some* kind of research, instead of just making up the cutest, creative smack-talk.

So my response...I hope Arizona beats up on MSU just to prove that arrogant you-know-what in Michigan wrong (not you, Coyote, the sportswriter). Yes, I took this personally...but I have every right to take this personally. Part of my family is on that team, and you're darn lucky *he* didn't get personally attacked.

I could retaliate with my own smack-talk, and boy, do I have some good ones...but you know what? I think I'll just leave it to the basketball team to resolve. MSU fans had better hope to goodness that the UA players didn't see that article and add fire to the flames of an already hot team.

Before I go...to quote part of the article, "What a joke. Do you Wildcat fans really think your team has a chance to compete on the same level as MSU?"

Ha ha...funny joke. And yes, I do think we can compete. We'll see who's laughing after Saturday.
Love,

Doug, buddy ol pal! IT's good to see you again. Well not actually see you, but to see your words that is. I hope you and Kit decide to stay.

The Job- ah yes Denis Leary. Any time I hear that name a particular song comes to mind. "You know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna get a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado, HOT PINK!..."

McVeighn- I think my mother had the best idea of what to do with that guy. Not kill him, no, no. Instead leave him in prison for ever with pictures of everyone he killed in the wall and never let him be able to take them down, so that every day he wakes up those are the faces he sees.
e'nuff on that.

Later

<There is a sudden rush of air in the room, DC, JRSU, Otto Mobile, DisHarmony, and all the other bad guys turning towards it. Then a Ford Focus crashes through the wall, not being dented in the least, running over and flattening the newest member of their team. Before the others can scatter for cover, Doug leaps out of the driver's side door with his .38 S&W revolver up and ready. He spares one clean shot to the head for each villain, then ejects the brass as they slump over (I did have enough bullets, right? :) and grins.>

I'M BACK.

No, really, I'm back. :) But only briefly, just testing the water really. And settling some issues. <grins toward dead villains as he reloads> Kit and I still don't know if we want to come back permanently or as any more than brief now-and-then posters like most people in here are. We'll decide eventually. Thanks to all who missed us, who longed for us to come back, and especially who apologized for their part in the wrongdoing that caused us to leave. It is all appreciated, accepted, and returned. <bows> And now your emotions are vindicated! <egotistical smirk>

Some news on the life front- the house's utilities are finally completed. The contractor that installed them was fired for taking too long. :) Phone line and AC unit will be installed next week, fun fun. Kit says hi to everyone, she's at class right now but I hope to get her back in here soon too. At work, another officer is in serious trouble- he owes $1200 in unpaid tickets and is having to take time off to preform community service. <rolls eyes> Geez, just obey the law! :) A few replies while I'm here:

Jannie: I missed you and everyone else here too. Kit and I did drop in now and then though. (Hint- we used the name of our favorite discontinued D&D monster.) Congrats to you on getting the house cleaned up and ready, hope it remains so up until the sale. And you sell it to someone worthy and responsible. :)

SJ: I have read and accepted your apology, I hope you'll accept mine for not being able to back down and take things less seriously than I did- just the way I am. <shrugs> If we can't understand each other, hopefully we can at least agree to disagree. <wrestling> Oh, come on, man! There have been many way more memorable events since the birth of Christ. King Arthur's life and death, the fall of Rome, William the Conqueror, the 95 theses, the Crusades, Columbus reaches America, 1776 and the Declaration of Independence (without which we would probably not have televised wrestling), Matthew Perry opening the doors of Japan, the World Wars, the Cold War, man landing on the moon in '69, man landing on the moon again in '73, woman landing on the moon last year...wait, I'm supposed to keep that last event secret. Anyway, the point is, yeah, the day you mention is significant, but more to wrestling fans than to history. So there.

Some Media News: Timothy McVeigh finally confessed to doing the Oklahoma City bombing, and he feels no remorse. I don't know anyone who is surprised by this. <groans> Why can't we just shut off the media's interest in this guy? His story is over! Let him rot in his cell till he dies, leave us in peace. :( The Oscars are also over, and I can honestly say I was disappointed by all the winners except for Benicio del Toro. I hated Gladiator, I didn't watch Erin Brockovich (that award was rigged anyway), and CTHD got too little recognition. Many other great films of 2000- Nurse Betty, The Patriot, Unbreakable- were ignored. I've complained about it before, don't feel the need to do so again. Just glad the impatience before the inevitable letdown is over now.

Animated Buffy: Set in Season 3? Does that mean lovely wonderful endearing Faith will be in it too? <grins widely> And the Mayor? Fun fun. Put me down as another person who will do his best to watch it. I just hope Fox doesn't screw things up for it like they have for other animated shows they've recently put on the air. (Digimon, Monster Rancher...)

**SPOILERS**
New TGS: Great job this week, staff. Loved the development on Brooklyn and Sekhmet, could really feel their emotions expressed- the end almost put me in tears. You can always depend on Gargoyles to break the cliches in a well-written way. :) Broadway, Sata, and Lex were used well too, good insertion of their characters. Especially in the fight scene. Liked the use of continuity also, with the museum robberies and Brooklyn's letter. Marian was a potentially interesting new character, wonder if she knows Lydia Duane and Arthur Morwood-Smythe. Good if brief bits with Goliath and Hudson. Missed illustrations in the story but it was well-written enough that it didn't need them to entertain. Kudos. One thing I'm missing from TGS so far this season- an episode that really looks at and significantly develops an important human character or two as well as a gargoyle one. Like High Noon or Revelations or The Price. Hope such an episode is on the way.
**SPOILERS END**

Calliope: Condolences on the repeated tragedy from me too. Why don't you get a silent alarm system put in your house? Kit and I are getting one (Alex's neighbor's helped the police to catch some burglars here in Austin just last night). Good luck recovering fiscally and especially emotionally from your losses.

SOROW: Damn, you really got mad, didn't you? <grins> Hope you're happier now. I must say I am really glad to have someone like you on my side so much. Hope your life is going smoother.

<looks at time, sighs> I have to go now. Work calls. But I would like to say a few last things- First, thank you again to all my friends in here. I'm glad to have you and to be able to take the opportunity to spend time with you. :) Second, congrats again to Lain and Aaron, may they use their powers well and wisely. Same for Robby, who I congratulate on finding the room wiper's URL. Finally, go see Spy Kids if you can. That movie comes out this weekend, and it was filmed almost entirely in Austin and the surrounding area. Local director and god of coolness Robert Rodriguez directed it (you might recall his work from Desperado, El Mariachi, and The Faculty). I know the film might look dumb to some of you, but really it's not. Ok, maybe some of the lines are. But the movie as a whole isn't. If you don't go see it for the writing, go see it for my friend and Kit's, Elena Ruiz. She's an extra in a few scenes, just look for the chubby Mexican girl with the pleated skirt and rose tatoo on her shoulder. Kit and I tried to be extras too, but we signed up for trials too late. :( Anyway, go see it. You'll enjoy it. Full review next time. Later, friends. <caps off the villains once more, then grabs and ties DisHarmony to the Focus's rear bumper before streaking out with the pedal to the floor and a screaming jerk bouncing along behind>

Buffy Animated - This has been rumored for a while. I always thought the idea was great, because all the stories would be set in the third season which would include Oz, Angel, and Cordy. Animated series are easier to get regular cast members on because they can all be spread across the country and still read lines.

At the time I heard this rumor, the plans were to develop Andi Watson's comic series into the animated show, as it fits (more or less) into the continuity of the third season. There were also rumored plans to develop Chris Golden and Nancy Holder's Buffy books into the series. This was a while back, though, so those plans may have fallen through.

It should be interesting.

By the way, all you anime fans. FOX is also going to be airing "Slayers" this fall. I've only seen a few episodes, so I don't know if this is a good thing or not (as in, it'd be bad if they had to edit the show to much, etc). I thought that was noteworthy.

Also, I picked up some of the few comic titles I read yesterday. I got Midnight Nation #6, No Honor #2, and Kevin Smith's new Green Arrow #2. MN and NH are both terrific series. GA #1 was interesting, and I have complete faith that #2 is excellent. After Smith did what he did with Daredevil, I trust him in the particular medium.

Re: Buffy Animated Series Air Date: According to the "Reporter" its due out this autumn (aka fall). If my memory serves me correctly, I think cartoon seasons begin in late summer/early fall just when school is starting. (Where as 'live' series usually starts in October).

Oh and one more thing. "Witchblade: The Series" is schedule to air soon. All I can remember for right now is at 9 PM EST I believe on Thursdays starting in May or June. Once I (unless SJ already has it) find the date I will let you all know.

Buffy the Animated Series: interesting... any idea as to when this would air?

Josh> <Oh well, as I've only been in CR for a month, I probably wouldn't have made it anyway...> apparently tenure was not a consideration in their decision - or at least not a big factor.

Gunjack> glad you made it safely to Canada. :) I didn't realize where you lived until the other day. My parents used to live in the same town... I'm from Mesquite and some of my uncles live in Garland. I was born in Dallas =) I live in Houston now.

My house is "offically" on the market now. The realtor dropped by the other night and said that it looked as if it was ready, so why not go ahead and begin the process... I said, "okie dokie, let's rock and roll" ;) Of course now the kids think that they've entered the pits of hell because I won't cut them any slack in allowing their rooms to be cluttered, dishes to be washed immediately, trash cans emptied on a daily basis, dusting every other day, no laundry piles in the corner, etc.
Anna swears that as soon as I signed the contract, small horns began growing from my scalp ;) hehehe

BUFFY THE ANIMATED SERIES - Well, if Joss Whedon is in charge of it, I don't think we need to worry too much about it. He'll most likely be able to make it a high quality animated series on the level of "Gargoyles". But I've got to admit, I hadn't seen that one coming.

Buffy: The Animated Series? >> Don't know if SJ reported this or not. If so, sorry for the double posting.

"The Hollywood Reporter reveals this morning that an animated version of the best show on television, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” will premiere on Fox Kids this autumn.
The animated show, to be produced and developed by Joss Whedon (creator of all things “Buffy”), will tell untold tales of the Scoobs’ high school years, according to the Reporter. (On the live-action series, Buffy and her classmates graduated Sunnydale High two years ago.)
(Fox also says there’s a cartoon series based on Ivan Reitman’s summer David Duchovny comedy “Evolution” on the way for fall too). "

Ah, today was a good day. I worked at my dad's factory, designing online forms to help move him toward the whole "paperless office" thing (yeah right, like THAT will ever happen). Anyway, I have no idea what I'm being paid yet, but I'm sure its a lot more than the peanuts I make doing tech support. Meanwhile, my crappy monitor is in for repairs so I can hook it up to the crappy old mac my dad gave me and have a fully functional computer for just $63 US! Crappy or not, that is damn cool.

I just watched the new Denis Leary show, "The Job". If you like Denis Leary, you MUST see this show. He is freakin hysterical. He plays a married cop (with a girlfriend on the side)...its a riot.

Dreamie: <<it was I who made the 8 ball>>: My bad. <<more canon pics>>: Drool...::zombie stare:: must see Dreamie's pics...

Spacebabie: You can MAJOR in creative writing!? And I thought poli sci was a joke...

Warpmind: Ha ha! You had to reinstall windows! 8-P Reinstalling windows was the single most painful computer experience in the 13 years I've been using them. And I remember it VIVIDLY.

Lain: good job comforting your friend. We should all be so lucky to have a friend like you. <<make fun of it>>: And everything else! Serious is boring. Even when suicide is involved.

Aingeal: <<I DO NOT have a hangover>>: Well you SHOULD! It's your 21st b-day!

Rayvn: <<We're gonna win!>>: Sarcasm time: Whew. I feel relieved. With that inside information, I can safely place a bet...

Daphne: Nice to see you back. <<don't worry (celebrate?) about being the last single poster just yet! I'm still in the running!>>: Who's worried? Anyway, I'm just betting on being the LAST. <<way romantic, right?>>: I've got a better one. This is a direct quote, my dad proposing to my mom: "I'll marry you if you'll marry me." LOL.

Maybe I'll hunt down these Canabiladians and see if I can just hang out with them and wear a loincloth or something. But then it'd be cold. Drat.

Hey Aaron, wanna make a deal? If you post some odds on ME, I'll post some on YOU as soon as I get back hom (ie, in a week). Kinda one of those "you scratch my back, I scratch yours" deals.

I've been burning like crazy, but I just noticed I only had an eigth of Slayers 12 and no 13. And I don't know of a place on the web to get them. At least I have a bunch of other stuff I can pick up first.

Imzadi> <<How stupid do I look?>>: Actually, you don't look at all. Unless you want to judge by preferred text color.

Lain> <<SOLUTION TO DIRE SITUATION: MAKE FUN OF IT>>: Works for me. Gives them a response they weren't expecting, maybe getting them out of the frame of mind.

Daphne> <<way romantic, right?>>: Better than me so far.

Writing>Well, about my InuYasha inspired story, I think I'm going to save that one for a summer project. The storyline I have in mind is way too long to put in a 10 page short story(Teacher says that's the max).

Last night when I was studying my Japanese for a midterm, I had an epiphany! I had just watched an episode of Outlaw Star on Cartoon Network (chopped up and covered up, but still good) and I found the situation between Melfina and Harry interesting. Thus, my twisted imagination started turning about. What is the worse thing that can happen to you when you're stalked by a psycho guy who is madly in love with you and thinks you're 'destined to be together'? He gets you sold into slavery and buys you at an auction!!! Think about it: The madman has complete control over where you go, what you wear, what you eat, AND he also has the medical profile of a sex offender! He won't leave you alone for a second!!! Scary stuff. Gonna be fun to write. :)

If you think that's disturbing, I wrote a short story in 8th grade about a night in the life of a prostitute. O.o

Whoa. And might I add, whoa. I know nothing of what happened, I have no opinion, I'm neutral... but whoa.

Imzadi>> don't worry (celebrate?) about being the last single poster just yet! I'm still in the running!

my tedious life>> well, I *still* don't have a date to my prom... but I have a date to someone else's. it's no big thing... we were griping, and I asked him when his was, and he said april 6th (yes, it is a senior prom), so I tell him i'll go if he's that desperate. he says he was gonna ask me, but he didn;t think I'd want to go. I said I was game if he was, so he said sure. way romantic, right? I'm probably gonna ask him to mine, though.
I was at the state tournament for student congress over the weekend (part of my loop-challengement), and I met a guy there... sweet, sensitive, cute, funny, smart... and he lives just outside pittsburg and is going to go to college in ohio. In case you didn't know, I live in philadelphia and will probably go to college here. Emambu, you can vouch that that makes things a tad inconvenient.

Looks like I'm going to St. Joe's university. they're giving me a chunk of money, and I got into the honors program.

****BFTS RP AHEAD****

[THE REALM]

Daphne approaches the woman.

"Excuse me?" Daphne has no idea how to address the woman. There are no signs of guild or caste, and if Daphne's suspicions are correct, even the all-encompassing title "citizen" would not be accurate.

The woman turns. "Who are you? And where am I?"

"I don't think you'd beleive us." Jason walks up, almost protectively, to Daphne's side.

"Finally," the woman remarks, "Someone who looks normal. I'm Pamela Price, of the Rules Report."

Jason's eyes go wide. "The Report? Pamela Price?"

Daphne is confused. "Jason? DO you know this person?"

He nods. "She's an award-winning reporter."
***

After a brief discussion over the nature of the Realm, the three determine that Pamela has come through some type of interdimensional portal. THe constant appearances and diasappearances seem to indicate that the portal is a constant.

They return to the portal so that Pamela can go home.

"I cannot wait until my editor reads this one!" she remarks.

"I don't know if that's a good idea," Jason says.

"The public has a right to know," Pamela responds.

"True," Daphne adds, "but a wordsmith is not guarenteed the right to be believed."

[BFTS UNIVERSE, SOME DAYS LATER]

Pamela Price stares at the tabloidin her hand. "This could've been the story of the milleniun, but no." She mimicks her editor. "'If you want to write fiction, I can get you a novel deal.'" She tosses the paper into a wastebasket, not seeing a figure reach over and pull it out.

Hello, I'm here today just ofr something... I've entered a contest with the making of a character and it resembles a character of the person who has told me called Ronald or in that nature. The hair-spikes mainly is only of what it makes copied of this character from here but the rest of the body is original, what shall I do? This person named Hinomon gave me this "in-sight" but I didn't know about this, if I copied this character, I'm truely sorry to the original artist.

hey all
ive had kinda a rough and wierd day..

most of it is manageable but i really kinda want to talk to you about something that happened last night.

i went to bed early(ish) last night and about 2:30am there was a faint knock at my door. Luckily i am paranoid someone is out to get me when i sleep and am on high alert, otherwise i might have slept right through it.

my friend, who sometimes posts in here, was standing at my door crying her eyes out because shed cut herself again and thought she wanted to die. she had the letter written and everything...
i guess it must have dawned on her how DUMB this was and i am terribly thankful she had the courage to come and talk to someone.. even though i had not half a clue what to say or do or how to help her or.. really anything..
i did the only thing i could think of which was to tell her i loved her.. (and this earned me a really REALLY soggy shoulder and some squished ribs to boot)
i mean.. what do you DO?
*sigh*
and i dragged her into my room and talked to her for maybe an hour and hugged and cuddled her and stroked her hair and played "warm-hands" and told her i would be REALLY pissed if she went and killed herself and that if it "is her time to go" (as she claimed) then she would go some OTHER way..

..and of course after that i told her she was a moron and she told me to shut up and then i called her a selfish jerkface and she fake-backhanded me across the room and.. um.. yeah.. (SOLUTION TO DIRE SITUATION: MAKE FUN OF IT.. at least thats MY philosophy and it seems to mostly work and relieve tension at least..)

so thats my story.
and i dont know what to do.
yes, she is seeing (more than one i think) psychiatrist and all that but frankly.. it aint be doin too much good that *I* with MY little eye can see..

*faint sigh*

i dunno what she needs, i really dont

anyway, thanks for listening to my story of wierdness (though i left the REALLY wierd parts out because they are really REALLY wierd..)

love,

Hmm. I better not go THERE, at least directly.

I'd like to introduce a new CR villain: DisHarmony. Right now, she is bound up in chains inside of a coffin surrounded by dried cement, I hope. She spreads disagreement everywhere she goes and has just recently spotted by yours truly. Hopefully, my safeguards will keep her in check.

On to other business, yesterday I slept 11 hours straight.

My former direct boss on 1st shift at Molex was demoted :-) and if you have not figured it out, I am happy about that.

Does anyone know how to set an HTML page up where it re-directs me to one page and opens 2 new windows up to go other spots?

*Just above the gateway to Realm, in a low orbit of Earth*
"What was our mission again?"

"Monitor the situation with the gateway to another universe. Do not get spotted by either Lunatic or Lunacy unless absolutely necessary."

"Why the covertness?"

"Lunatic and Lunacy do not know of us, ITAG Space Task Force. The reprocessions of either of them finding out about us are potentially very unpleasant."

"Why are we here, monitoring the situation?"

"We are, to our knowledge, the only team more powerfull than Lunatic and Lunacy and we are the ONLY team that currently possesses technology to travel between multiple universes."
**END BFTS RP for now**

**WARNING: DC DEATH.**
Warpmind kicks down the door, carrying a a longsword in his right hand, and a double-edged battleaxe in his left hand, growling loudly. DC whimpers and begins to back away. "DC!!! You've kept my internet connection dead for a WEEK!!! REVENGE!!!" DC stumbles backwards. "Uh, hey now, you wouldn't want to kill me, would you?" Warpmind grins evilly, handing over sword and axe to DC. "True. It's a tedious task, and I'm not too fond of manual labor. So if I were you, I'd run. I sent a message to Kei and Yuri that you're the WWWA's Most Wanted Criminal. Have a nice death, I'm sure it will be painful." Warpmind then grabs DC and tosses him into a conveniently placed timeportal leading to the distant future. A gout of blood returns, splattering most of the CR. "Oh, dear, sorry about that..."
**DC DEATH OVER. YOU CAN LOOK NOW.**

I just got my new DSL connection running. The only hiccup so far... when I'm using it, this CR and the one at Station 8 won't let me post. I get a message saying I'm forbidden from accessing the CGI. I can post on non-S8 based comment boards, though. Anyone know what that is all about? Is ameritech.net on Gore's banned list of ISPs for some reason?

Aaron & Lain > Congrats on the new admin duties.

Warpmind > To simply things for everyone, the Gathering has decided to drop the entry fees in the writing and filk contests. Revised rules for submitting entries are posted on our site.

Spike > Congrats on snagging Michael Reaves for the Online Reunion. I know I'm looking forward to next week's events.

Aaron writes: "Patrick, or the man who would be King> <<I can be your promoter?>> Not unless you can pull off the hair." - And look like a Chia Pet? :P Think I'm gonna have to pass then... I need to keep my hair short anyway if I'm gonna do a reprise of my Capt. Chavez costume. I've had multiple requests now to do an encore. >:)

Napster > Anyone else of heard of this new band called "Arrowsmith" that I found listed over the weekend? They sound quite a bit like Aerosmith... (hear that noise - that's me being facetious, BTW)

Harry Potter / Larry Potter > Unbelievable.

WWF / WCW > I'm amazed Vince McMahon still has funds left to buy WCW after the bath he's taken on the XFL. To drop much lower, the ratings on XFL football are just about going to have to go into negative numbers (meaning people are actually turning the TV off before turning it on).

Favorite quote of the past week > Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, while holding his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame award: "Maybe this will finally put an end to people asking me 'Hey, aren't you Mick Jagger?'"

Movie factoid > "Wallyworld" (in National Lampoon's "Vacation") was really Magic Mountain.

Wait a minute...there was an application process for being an admin? I didn't know that! Oh well, as I've only been in CR for a month, I probably wouldn't have made it anyway...but where is the application posted?

Conspiracy: <<tech support>>: First, I've never said "I don't know who does". I say "I will find more info and call you back soon". Which I ALWAYS do! Glad you're working on the female smurf angle.

Shinigami:<<And Shane as leader of Vince's only rival (ignoring ECW for now)? Works out beautifully.>> Something I find rather interesting is that if Shane now “owns” 100 percent of what was WCW and 25 percent of the WWF... and Vince “owns” 50 percent of the WWF (Including Linda’s retaken 25% and excluding Stephanie’s 25%)... That would mean Shane owns about 62 percent of the wrestling mainstream while Vince owns 25 percent.... So wouldn’t that make *Shane* the most powerful man in the wrestling business? ^_~

<<I wonder what other contracts they signed.... Maybe something to bring Dreamie's love, Mr. Shawn Micheals, back into the foreground? >> Ok first off, Shawn’s not Dreamie’s love, she’s just a very enthusiastic aficionado :::laughs::: What would Cameron think of his net aunty Dreamie? :::gasp::: And secondly... The word is that Shawn was at RAW last night (as well as Jerry Lynn), but in the 4:00pm show posting his involvement was cut due to time constraints. There may be clearer details on what happened on today’s Smackdown Tapings by tomorrow....today everyone seems to have their own opinions, so a definite answer is sketchy (Just goes to show who all went to the snack bar at choice moments...)

Well, my fellow wrasslin' fans (Shinigami and Dreamie, specifically), I think that after watching last night *final* edition of the Monday Night Wrestling Wars, I can officially say that yesterday was the greatest day ever since the birth of Christ. Not since the birth of the little baby Jesus has there been a more significant day upon this earth.

I know most people in here probably think wrestling is dumb and stupid, but I like it. It's a little white trashy, yeah, but hey, I can dig that. But in all due seriousness, I truly feel that after watching last night, not only have I never seen anything like that in my 10 plus years of being a wrasslin' fan, but it may be the greatest angle EVER in the history of the business. Vince McMahon is an utter f***ing genius.

Yeah, I know, you non-wrestling fans are shaking your heads, but to us really diehard, hardcore WWF/WCW fanatics, this is like winning the lotto, doing shots of heroin, and participating in an orgy all at the same time. Not that I'd know how that feels, really, because I've never won the lotto before.

Oh, and Dreamie and Shinigami--I really don't know either of you all of that well, personally, but the very fact that you both know so much about pro wrestling makes me feel that you two are perhaps the most perfect women on the planet.

Hey, looks, intelligence, a sense of humor, these are easy to find. A girl who marks out for Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels? Those are the ones you keep, my friends.

And speaking of women, I'll leave you with some of the most evil....and entertaining!....sound clips I've ever heard. A guy started a website named "Psycho Ex-Girlfriends", about...well, psycho ex-girlfriends. The really great thing? He put on the website ALL of his psycho ex-girlfriends voicemails that she left him. Just dozens of potty-mouthed crazy rantings. I don't know why, but it's strangely arousing.

Nothing is hotter than a crazy girl. That's why I cruise the asylums. For the women and the free medication.

Aaron: Congrats, mon amour, on becoming a co-administrator. Does this make me a first lady of somekind? *starts to pen her future award winning book 'It takes a Clan'.* Remind me to buy you vinyl pants. Make you look more..... authorative. (faraway aroused look. ODDS, Gside, we want ODDS!)Plus the effect will be blinding when you Riverdance.

Jannie: Be careful when kissing my man's behind. I'm watchin' those lips of yours. ;) Unless he's wearing the vinyl ofcourse..

Okay, I know Dreamie and maybe a few others are into Wrestling. Did you watch Monday Night RAW? Possibly the best one I've seen in a while,. especially the simu-cast (SP) between WCW Nitro and WWF Raw. I love how egocentric Vince is. "I will sign that contract when Ted Turner comes to the Wrestlemania ppv and begs me!" Oh please. As if.
And Shane as leader of Vince's only rival (ignoring ECW for now)? Works out beautifully. I wonder who will win their bout at the PPV, and what that'll symbolize for the Wcw/WWF merger. At least as far as storylines go. And Mick Foley is back!!!! It was wonderful to see a healthy and conscious Linda McMahon again. (she may not be a McMahon by blood, but MAN is she devious.) I love how they put the date on the videotape to try and convince us that it wasnt made last week. ;)

I wonder what other contracts they signed.... Maybe something to bring Dreamie's love, Mr. Shawn Micheals, back into the foreground?

Well, I never thought the first pic I used would be this one...

Sigh. We've managed to discuss hot-button RL issues like politics, abortion, and the nature of life, the universe, and everything. And what do we keep hanging up on? Fictional sex. I don't know if that's laughable or sad.

Okay, most of you know me, and I like to think that most of you don't actively dislike me. Hopefully doing this admin thing won't change that. I'll do my best to be fair, and call ‘em like I see ‘em. I'm pretty laid back, and so I'm going to try and be a lenient 1/3 of the admin staff. Either that, or I could be a prick to everybody equally. There is another admin I could emulate, (one warning, and then I ban your ass) but you don't want that, and I don't want that.

Speaking of banning, isn't if funny how easily that came up? In the history of this place, exactly how many people have been banned? Only two that I recall, and that was the Rene/Satan thing.

Of course, I could ban all of you, and sit in the blissful silence of an empty room. However, I believe that my first act as a CR Admin will be to ban Robby and Lain asap, so I can take over the wor- I mean, the room. ;)

I can't make all of you like each other. I could negotiate an Israeli withdrawl from the West Bank easier then I could get some of y'all to kiss and make up. But could we at least try to be a little nicer to each other. Not actively hostile, at least. Please? Don't make me threaten. I'll *dance* people. I'll *Riverdance*. There will be no survivors.

(And thanks, btw, for all the congratulations. Now I can actually contribute something, however small, to the fandom. And not in an expensive and painful way like the tattoo. ;) )

And now to, hopefully, happier subjects.

The Oscars> Were lame. Moving on...

Beth> Sorry your sister came home. Hope she doesn't stay long.

Josh> I could explain about the gravity in CTHD, but that... is a secret.

SOROW> (Hugbees)

Crzy> Why do I have a feeling the boys are ignoring poor Fil for most of that dojinshi? ;)

FS> No, no leather facemask. That would aggravate my claustrophobia. Now, a nifty little thing like Hannibal Lecter wore in the first movie...

Shadowrider> I'm sorry about Kira.

Gside> <<Who are you going to get to check?>> Well, he is missing his pants right now.

Patrick, or the man who would be King> <<I can be your promoter?>> Not unless you can pull off the hair.

Lain> The "in bed" gag works on everything. Just ask Robby. Congrats on the co-adminship.

Christine> Sabertooth nothing. You're the fandom's C'thulu. Powerful, unfathomable, and sometimes tentacles are involved. ;) <<The founding fathers>> Remind me, somewhere I've got something like "What the declaration *really* says": "All people (scratch) All men (scratch) some men (scratch) some *white* men (scratch) some white men who own property and are not Catholic are created equal."

Spacebabie> <<Sad for us CW majors>> You can major in Country-Western? ;)

Taleweaver> << I didn't stay to watch the ceremony. How about the rest of you?>> We taped it. Fast-forwarded through the boring parts.

Josh> You're reusing your quotes. And try letting the monitor go into shutdown mode for a while. That fixes mine sometimes.

Dreamie> Thank you. (Hugs) You seem to be the only one who noticed.

AotN> <<I'm a Chaplain of NHS>> Ninja High School? ;)

LM> I'm JCarnage@Yahoo.com.

Today's PVP seems appropriate...

Aaron> I wanted to say congrats on your newest assignment as a co-admin of CR :)
I have complete confidence that you will do the best you can, will maintain a level of professionalism and nonpartisianship whenever the need arises.
I know that it is going to be a difficult task at times, but I've always observed you to be cautious and look at the facts before giving a knee-jerk opinion.

*attempts to remove my lips from your ass cheek* ;) *L* Seriously though, I mean what I've said =)

Again, congrats!

Ed> Actually, my comments were aimed towards getting balanced reviews -- like yours. You always highlight the good points of a story as well as the bad points. Both writers and editors appreciate that. Believe it or not, sometimes the editor sits and worries how a story will be received just as much as the writer, since it is the editor's job to be the first one to look at a story with an 'outside' eye. You are right in that deadlines have played a part in some of the roughness of story arc integration this season --- deadlines, RL, computer disasters, etc. (At least we don't have to fight supervillains in our spare time as well!)

School> When I was in high school, and then in college, I usually had only 10 minutes between classes. In high school, my locker was on one side of the campus, and our school was built on a hill. Sometimes I had to plan carefully when I could get to my locker, and I was usually carrying heavy math, history, or chemistry books across campus. In college, I had my bike (with a cargo rack attached), but if I couldn't use the bike, it took 10 minutes at a dead run to cross campus. And, invariably, my schedule would have at least one class at one corner of campus, followed by another immediately after at the other end of campus. I must say that I certainly got my excerise in high school and college. ;)

Later, All!

*enters carrying a sledgehammer. Walk up to computer and begins to mercilessly smash it to pieces, bits of circuitry flying*

Die computer! Die! This is for making my times online a constant hell! And you, you evil, evil monitor, this is for always turning shades of green whenever I'm doing anything important!

*calmly takes a seat*

So, what's new?

The whole flame war><Thank thee almightly fritos that this thing's over.

Greg Bishansky><** I've done a little research on the Illuminati myself, and they are indeed truth-seekers. While 99% of the religious fanatics see them as Satan-worshippers, nothing could be further from the truth. Weishaupt's Illuminati during the Age of Elightenment rejected religion and God, and focused on science and knowledge. They called themselves the Illuminati because they felt they were the "illuminated ones" by rising above ignorance.** I know, but I believe that their motives extend beyod just being truth seekers. When you have that kind of influence and power, why limit your goals, why not reach for the stars?

Warpmind><**Conspiracy Theorist: I see you suffer a common misunderstanding here... my 486 does not have internet connection. I go online through dad's machine when at home, or through work or a netcafé when that's the most convenient option. Hideous Anomaly has two primary functions: Games and Writing. (I also watch the odd picture on it - and with the picture viewer I have, it's actually pretty good, too. But my 14" monitor is about to kick the bucket for good.)** Ah... my mistake. I've got a flat screen Sony Trinitron monitor that I bought for fifteen bucks. I just found out why it was so cheap. The monitor turns shades of green whenever it feels like it, so I'm now going through junk to find my Gem monitor. ::sigh:: I love computers but computers hate me.

**As for the Illuminati... naaw, don't think they're Satan worshippers... unless... hmm... Lucifer WAS the Light-Bearer... *Ponders* Uh-oh... };) By the way, about your detective or FBI work... lemme guess ,you've already acquired an old-style trenchcoat, right? Like Bogey's got? };) ** Yep, and my gray fedora hat... ::pops a cigar into mouth, puffs a few times, then collapses, grasping chest, hacking and coughing::

DPH><**Conspiracy theorist - I swear to you that I am NOT a member of the Illumaniti, although frankly, it would be impossible to prove or disprove that statement. I am not a swordsman, just a mutant. I do confess to being a member of ITAG [see BFTS RP for reference], but that organization is not in this universe. That device will transport to another universe and back. Just walk in the CR and pick it up.**Hmmm... your statement seems to be true... I'll check it out...

**Hmm. I can arrange for Clinton's hitmen to forget about your existance, indefinitely. Unfortunately, ITAG has not perfected a device for removing you from the memory of the Illumaniti (just too many members and no device to handle such massive erasure without getting caught doing the memory erasure). ** Clinton's hit men are everywhere, you take down one and ten more pop up in his place. I'm exploring the theory that his hit men weren't really hired by Clinton, but rather by the Illuminati to keep things covered up.

Imzadi><** I know. I work tech support. 8-)** ::grabs and begins to throttle:: You evil, EVIL person! You're one of _them_ The people whose entire vocabulary consists of 'I don't know and I don't know who does' ::pulls out and AK47:: I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to kill you. It's my sworn duty to do that as a disgruntled computer owner.

**<<uncovering the Smurfs/Communism connections>>: Oh, like THAT's real tough. NOT. A REAL challenge would be figuring out why there's only ONE adult female smurf, and she had to be created AFTER there were already a bunch of male smurfs!:** Believe me, there's more to the communism connections than any of you realize. As for the female smurf, believe me, we're working on it.

**<<web times>>: or you could just write up the html yourself: 3 days** But you'd still need the software, the FTP, the images, etc, etc, etc....

Kitainia><**Thanks for the continued laughter from the bits about Clinton. The truth can often be funny. <grin>. <I have good writing abilities> So I've seen from your posts so far pretty much. :) You should put them to good use in Bengali's fic, but I still wish you luck just the same. And I'll regret her apparent departure from the fandom. <sigh> I wish gang members and nuts wouldn't wear trench coats too. Unfortunately they have to wear something. :(**

**You're only going to be an evil megalomaniac in your spare time? Oh come on, it's a fun job! :)** I know... I just don't have enough time to do it every day, that darned super hero with his spandex costume and cool logo just keeps thwarting me. But someday, someday I'll defeat him!

**Good points on the Illuminati, and interesting ideas about Zodiac. I'd be interested in that profile you mentioned. If only because that killer's case has fascinated me ever since I first heard about it. :) I hope you're wrong, though, about him still killing right now.** See part of the profile below in response to Doug. As for him still killing, I hope I'm wrong too, but all logic and evidence say that he is. That's even what he said in one of his last letters to the SFPD, that because they hadn't gone along with some of his demands, that he was going to stop sending letters and that he would continue killing, making each one look like a routine murder, accident, etc...

Doug><** Good luck with the story, once again, and with your goals. I too would be interested in seeing that profile on Zodiac, if I ever do write my creativity demon series with Venom, Lisa Ryder, and John Mason fighting crime and trying to survive and avoid attention in San Francisco I might want to use such an infamous Frisco citizen as Zodiac for a villain a time or three. **Here's a bit of what I've got as a part of the profile from what has been gathered. 1. At the time of his early killings in the late 60s, he was in college in the Napa valley area, carved into one of the desks was the first known evidence of his presence. A _very_ sick poem/note written by him describing murder and blood. 2. He was an ex-marine and incredibly strong. One of his early victims was a female athlete that he fought on the college grounds. She fought like a wildcat and the ground where they had fought was described as looking like freshly plowed dirt. But despite her own strength, he was able to overpower her. 3. He was fairly young at the beginning of his killing career, in his early 20s, and his hair style was a crew cut. His hair was sandy blond. 4. He was white man of fairly large, stocky build. 5. As already known, he was very intelligent and smart enough not be able to, throughout all of his killings, leave virtually no evidence. 5. Only a few people that ever saw him lived to tell about it. A pregant woman, two cops, and a young man that he almost succeeded in killing. The pregant woman talked to him when he hijacked her car with her in it. From what she heard from him, he was obviously insane and obsessed with killing, walking about how he was going to kill her and telling her not to attempt escape. After which she jumped out of the car. 6. He believed, so he claimed, that those he killed would join him in the afterlife as his slaves, describing in his letters how he was going to torture them. 7. At the bottom of every letter he sent, he put up a score. On the last letter he sent the score was Zodiac-37, SFPD-0

That's just a small part of the stuff I've got that I can think of right now. If you need some more comprehensive stuff on him, I'd reccomend ask.com or if you need anything extra or have question, just ask. I'd be glad to help. =)

**<grin> I agree with you on the Illuminati's plans and goals, and thank you for the chuckle I got from reading your bit about Reagan. :)** You're welcome.

Aingeal><**::LOL @ Conspiracy's post:: Thanks... I've got to do a 12-16 min spech on how to build a web page, that adds LOTS of confidence...** It's all true, trust me. I've dealt with practically every free host, building program, etc, out there.

~HOW TO ANNOY YOUR ROOMMATE~

* Get some hair. Disperse it around your roommate's head while he/she is asleep. Keep a pair of scissors by your bed. Snicker at your roommate every morning.

* Eat lots of "Lucky Charms." Pick out all the yellow moons and stockpile them in the closet. If your roommate inquires, explain that visitors are coming, but you can't say anything more, or you'll have to face the consequences.

* Every Thursday, pack up everything you own and tell your roommate you're going home. Come back in an hour and explain that no one was home. Unpack everything and go to sleep.

* Every time you wake up, start yelling, "Help! Where am I?!" and run around the room for a few minutes. Then go back to bed. If your roommate asks, say you don't know what he/she is talking about.

* Draw a tiny, black spot on your arm. Make it bigger every day. Look at it and say, "It's spreading, it's spreading."

* Buy a plant. Sleep with it at night. Talk to it. After a few weeks, start to argue with it loudly. Then yell, "I can't live in the same room with you," storm out of the room and slam the door. Get rid of the plant, but keep the pot. Refuse to discuss the plant ever again.

* Buy a Jack-In-The-Box. Every day, turn the handle until the clown pops out. Scream continuously for twenty minutes.

* Hang up pictures of chickens all over the room. If your roommate eats eggs, yell at him/her and call him/her a cannibal.

* Buy some knives. Sharpen them every night. While you're doing so, look at your roommate and mutter, "Soon, soon...."

* If your roommate comes home after midnight, hit him/her on the head with a rolling pin. Immediately go to bed, muttering, "Ungrateful little..."

* Collect hundreds of pens and pile them on one side of the room. Keep one pencil on the other side of the room. Laugh at the pencil.

* Tell your roommate, "I've got an important message for you." Then pretend to faint. When you recover, say you can't remember what the message was. Later on, say, "Oh, yeah, I remember!" Pretend to faint again. Keep this up for several weeks.

* Feign a serious illness for two weeks. Have a priest come to your room and visit you. Write out a will, leaving everything to your roommate. One day, miraculously "recover." Insist that your roommate write out a will, leaving everything to you. Every time he/she coughs, excitedly say, "Oooh, are you dying?"

* Walk backwards all the time. Then pretend to trip and hurt yourself. Fake an injury and go through a long, painful recovery. Start walking backwards again.

* Collect potatoes. Paint faces on them and give them names. Name one after your roommate. Separate your roommate's potato from the others. Wait a few days, and then bake your roommate's potato and eat it. Explain to your roommate, "He just didn't belong."

* Cover your bed with a tent. Live inside it for a week. If your roommate asks, explain that "It's a jungle out there." Get your roommate to bring you food and water.

* Keep a vacuum cleaner in the middle of the room. Look at it with fear for a few days. Then stay out of the room entirely, opening the door only a crack and whispering to your roommate, "Psst! Is it gone?"

* When your roommate comes in, pretend that you are on the phone, screaming angrily and shouting obscenities. After you hang up, say, "That was your mom. She said she'd call back."

* Sit in front of a chess board for hours, saying nothing, doing nothing. Then, look up and say, "I think this game goes a lot faster with two players."

* Talk back to your "Rice Krispies." All of a sudden, act offended, throw the bowl on the floor and kick it. Refuse to clean it up, explaining, "No, I want to watch them suffer."

* Hang a tire swing from the ceiling. Act like a monkey. If someone besides your roommate comes in, cease acting like a monkey and claim that the tire swing was your roommate's idea. When you and your roommate are alone again, continue acting like a monkey.

* Unplug everything in the room except for one toaster. Pray to the toaster. Bring it gifts. Throw some of your roommate's possessions out the window. Say that the toaster made you do it.

* Wear your shoes on the wrong feet, all the time. Constantly complain that your feet hurt.

* Hit your roommate on the head with a brick. Claim that you were trying to kill a mosquito.

* Steal something valuable of your roommate's. If he/she asks about it, tell him/her that you traded it for some magic beans. Give some beans to your roommate.

* Collect potato chips that you think look like famous people. Find one that looks like your roommate. Burn it, and explain, "It had to be done."

* Put up flyers around the building, reporting that your roommate is missing. Offer a reward for his/her safe return.

* Buy a watermelon. Draw a face on it and give it a name. Ask your roommate if the watermelon can sleep in his/her bed. If your roommate says no, drop the watermelon out the window. Make it look like a suicide. Say nasty things about your roommate at the funeral.

* Paint a tunnel on the wall like they do in cartoons. Every day, hit your head as you attempt to crawl through it. Hold your head and grumble, "I'll get that pesky road runner...."

* Leave memos on your roommate's bed that say things like, "I know what you did," and "Don't think you can fool me." Sign them in blood.

* Hold a raffle, offering your roommate as first prize. If he/she protests, tell him/her that it's all for charity.

* Watch "Psycho" every day for a month. Then act excited every time your roommate goes to take a shower.

* Hang a basketball net on the wall. Challenge your refrigerator to basketball games, and play them in front of your roommate. Do so for about a month. Confide in your roommate that you think the refrigerator has been taking steroids.

* Late at night, start conversations that begin with, "Remember the good old days, when we used to..." and make up stories involving you and your roommate.

* Sit and stare at your roommate for hours. Bring others in to join you. Eat peanuts, throwing a few at your roommate. Then say, "Boy, these zoos just aren't what they used to be."

Yeah, yeah, I know I listed a lot of them. But I think they're hilarious and had to share them with you guys.

Later!

Hi, guys.
Dad's ISDN card's gone kablooie - been offline since Thursday. :( Once it's up and running again, there WILL be a painful DC Death... Aaanyway, since I'm at a netcafe, I can post now. :)

Josh: I wasn't using as a factual reference. What I meant was, it's been used in fiction before... ;)

Fire Storm: And all this overclocking debate really comes down to one thing: I Won't Risk It. ;)

Revel: Got it, replied.

Christine: Gotcha. As for my entry, could you check with Patrick what my current G'01 balance is, and e-mail me with how much is missing on my contest entry? I'll pay up as soon as dad's PC is online again.

Trenchcoat Layn: I'm doing okay, except I can't get online at home. :( Tried to catch up with you since Thursday, no such luck yet... :(

Doug: Godmode? Godmode? GODMODE??? Agh, you cheater, you! Have you no pride? ];)

Okay, I see there's an Adult Fic Debate flaring up again, and I might as well toss in my two cents. First, I agree with everyone who claims it is not High Art. And I agree with everyone who thinks it great fun. Heck, if anything, that wee segment of the Fandom is PROOF of Sturgeon's Law - 90% of fiction - of EVERYTHING is c***. If it's well written, it can provide a fun read without too much stress on the higher brain functions. ;) If it's poorly written, we'll just hand it over to Mara. ;) But anyway, I won't stop enjoying good adult fics, and why should I? It's right there, publically available, and it's not in violation of any law, either. While I probably won't write any adult fanfics (though, one of my immediately upcoming ones might get close), there's no reason why others shouldn't. For Pete's sake, humans are basically sexual beings. Might as well get some written input, as well, huh? That's all I wanted to say, I guess... Love me, hate me, or just ignore me, I won't change much anyway. ;)

Gside: Oh, Ed *Asner*. Hey, if you want a lapdance from him, be my guest. ];)

Doug and Kit leave? Drat... *Sighs, wipes a tear, and makes a notch on a tabletop.* I guess... like in some marriages, sometimes the couple becomes too comfortable around each other, and begin taking each other for granted... maybe that's what's happened here, too? *Sigh* Alas, I will still stick around... and I hope and pray that no more departures like this will occur...

Lynati: Trying to get in touch with you... did you at least get the message on the machine yesterday? :|

Lain/Aaron: CONGRATS!!!

That's it. Time's awastin', gotta go.

*** USA SCHOOLS DISCUSSIONS ***

Ed: <<It’s more just stuff like waiting for the teacher to like… say they’re done.>>
Ahh, now I understand what you were talking about. Well, it depends on the teacher actually. Most understand the students' need/desire to jump out the door once the bell rings so they allow it. Some teachers request/require the students to wait for his/her permission before leaving their seats. Those that ask are usually liked/respected enough by the majority of the class so the class usually listens. Then there are those teachers that are so anal about things that the students HAVE to listen for fear of reprimand. Sometimes the teachers are just as anxious to get the students or themselves out of the classroom that they encourage students to prepare to leave minutes before the bell rings. *L*

<<I kind of guessed that TV’s an unreliable judge>>
Yeah. Like when students have enough time between classes to stop by their locker, chat with friends at their locker and while SLOWLY walking to the restroom, using the restroom, continue to chat with their friends on the way to class, and STILL have enough time to chat with classmates BEFORE the bell. NO RUSHING INVOLVED!!! On TV it seems like they have 15 minutes between classes.
On TV students also carry around book bags that appear to have only ONE book in them. In reality, at least where I'm from, students are LUCKY if they have time to visit their lockers between classes. So they have to carry at LEAST a few classes worth of books and supplies. I remember having more books per semester than I did classes for the same semester. And most of those books averaged 8x10x1.5 inches. The news broadcasts weren't lying when they said that most students in America carried an average of 65 pounds on their backs. And that's not including what they had to carry in their arms for lack of space in their bags and lack physical strength!

Kind of makes you wonder what IS realistic on TV.

Fire Storm: <<About 15 minutes before the bell is when people start packing up.>>
LUCKY! The only classes I had where I was allowed to do that were for art, particularly pottery, and phys ed.

<<Often, people HAD to bolt at the bell because if they didn't, they would be late for class (which was more often than not on the other side of the building)>>
Ahh, memories.

*** / USA SCHOOLS DISCUSSIONS ***

Congratulations to the new Co-Admins. :)

Lain & Aaron Wheeler: I'll add your names to the CR Info main page as soon as possible. With your permission, I'd like to include your email addresses to the page as well. Could you please tell me what they are?

Sorry to all applicants that didn't get accepted. I'm sure your offers were well appreciated. :)

Yeah... I forgot about that. I was just thinking of orbital insertion equasions.

Monolith: I got some pictures, so I am a little more happy.

Ah. understood.

<And for some reason I always think of the bari sax progression from Let me Clear my Throat after that phrase.>
Have you posted that MP3?

Sorry. It's just that my class and the classes before mine blew up so much electronics in my electronics class that the smell of fried chips and other misc. electronics will NEVER leave that classroom.

That sounds like an ad on a local TV station.

Ed: <No, from the UK>
Sorry about that. Vash corrected me in the Station 8 CR.
<Which isn’t to say that people don’t pack up when the bell goes>
About 15 minutes before the bell is when people start packing up.
Often, people HAD to bolt at the bell because if they didn't, they would be late for class (which was more often than not on the other side of the building)
<But there again, my experience is in a darn-it-can’t-I-just-use-the-cane-a-little-bit school.>
Thats the view of the entire US school system.

See how procrastination is allowed to grow? From posting just a few quick e-mails I’ve been diverted back here. But while I am here, I may as well – uh – skive like there’s no tomorrow. As you do. Except there is. Oops.

Fire Storm: No, from the UK. Regarding the bell, it’s assumed that we stay until we’re dismissed. Which isn’t to say that people don’t pack up when the bell goes. But it’d be a possible-suspension offence to leave a class on a regular basis. But there again, my experience is in a darn-it-can’t-I-just-use-the-cane-a-little-bit school.

Lady Mystic: I kind of guessed that TV’s an unreliable judge, but it’s my only one. It’s more just stuff like waiting for the teacher to like… say they’re done. Since most teachers are responsible and don’t go on more than 5 minutes.

Josh: Yes, but it amuses me that I’ve never once seen a majority of people stay in their seats after the bell to, say, hear the teacher finish his/her sentence. That’s my point. As for uniforms, whilst I didn’t always like them, I think in retrospect they’re really worthwhile, for reasons.

Gside: I don’t understand (or much care for) cricket either. And it has insignificant following next to football. Thanks for the background on the year names (I think I’ll stick with First Years, Second Years … Year 12s, Year 13s etc. though :))

GARGOYLES: ‘HISTORY’S FORGOTTEN’
Plus ‘THE COUNCIL’ PART TWO and ‘THE COUNCIL’ PART THREE

***Spoilers and comments***

What a gorgeous episode.

I must admit, when I saw the title (and writer), my heart leapt. Revealing neat stuff about TGS history in an entertaining way always catches my eye, and it’s got to be Todd’s forte by now. And whilst it was moderately interesting all the way through, it wasn’t until the final – incredibly beautiful – scene that my jaw dropped open. Way to absolutely explode a shallow character who I had only a passing interest for into a character with wonderful depth.

Sekhmet was never my favourite of the Unseelie villains, it must be said. Not as intriguing as Herne, as downright cool as Grimalkin, or as manic as Loki. But I must admit, I liked her here. I’m guessing that it’s an S&P restriction you guys have placed on yourselves that arbitrary on-screen deaths like the guard are off limits. And having Sekhmet walk idly by when she had every opportunity to kill the man would probably strike me as a cheesy cop-out: but she does it so well! It just oozes arrogance. I love it.

My namesake, Ms. Reynolds, was quite cool. Has she (or another Reynolds) appeared in TGS before? It rings a bell. Anyway, the whole concept of Brooklyn’s message being dug up is just delightful and it was nice to have a modern-day Brooklyn focus episode. I didn’t like the way the story was set-up though – the egyptologysts were being unprofessional to a point where it seemed just a play to get the exposition in. Not all that slick, really.

Still, I always like nice sentimental pieces and this was great. Nice twist, nice outline and largely speaking great writing. I particularly liked the way that continuity issues such as the museum thefts were worked in.

I do think though that now that this ‘Gargoyles’ season is a fair way in, there seems to be a lack of cohesion in the stories. I mean, remember in season 1 of the original series where there were little comments just to link things together and keep the chronology ticking. It also helped that Goliath was pretty much a constant and kept things going. Now though things swing in and out of continuity and don’t seem to be grounded. It’s true that many stories have offered a vague notion an episode or so before as to when something big like the GWC is coming up, and I also guess that deadline problems are likely to limit your enthusiasm for this kind of thing – the continuity on Rory in ‘THE TAIN’ and ‘QUEST’S END’ was mentioned as I remember. But at the moment things swing from character to character (usually not straying too far away from the Trio) without ever really getting to grips with stuff like the status of the clan. It’s not necessarily a problem – after such a massive war, it makes sense to have stories that are slightly looser. And in many ways, the rifts have been brought up and examined throughout the season – that of the Trio, of the Gargoyle clans, of the humans and gargoyles, between Demona and Angela etc. But the Council received very little build-up – it just came and went but nothing really feels like it’s changed. Similarly, when Demona clocked Angela and ran the thing vanished almost without a trace. And a mention of Dr. Gray would just have kept that feeling of continuity-a-buzzing. It’s like the difference between using each episode to spotlight different parts of the stage, and using each episode to spotlight different stages in the same hall.

Of course, it may be that this is just a sort of rebuilding time in TGS-land after such a vigorous work out with Madoc and chums. Certainly, the return of Thailog looks like it’s getting ready. Matt too. But until then the feeling of a clan claiming its place in the world isn’t there. Nor is the feeling that when these massively cool things happen, they’re not going to fade into the background for a month, or a season, but they’ll be used to springboard other cool plots. Obviously a large part is the problems of having such a mammoth cast… but these things – the clan, Goliath and Elisa’s relationship etc. are the real staples of the universe. I just hope that the opportunities are picked up upon.

Whilst I’m in a franky massive session of bunking—er, time redistribution, I’ll have you know—I may as well talk briefly about the last two parts of ‘THE COUNCIL’.

Overall, quite lovely. The coming together of clans and the frictions caused therein really came out, and small touches like Vinnie’s involvement in saving the day were gorgeous. But I felt kind of like I’d just been dumped in a massive museum and missed the tour guide. The subplot with Darius and Demona seemed to have so scarce an impact on the Council that its only practical role I could see was to introduce Darius as an intriguing villain and ensure that the Council was spiced up. But it was fairly peripheral. Demona’s flight didn’t really have the impact it could have because it never was really part of the plot anyway. I didn’t really feel like things were drawing up to a climax at any point, or that there was any threat either from the Council or particularly from Darius. It was more like wandering around oohing and aahing at the great characterisation, top-knotch writing and amusing stuff and coming away feeling that I’d missed something out.

The only real gripe I had was the Elisa scene. It jarred the plot to distraction, was plucked from a couple of months in the wilderness with no particularly pressing urgency or relevancy to the rest of the plot and was so short as to be hardly worth it. If the idea, as somebody (Kitainia perhaps) suggested, was to counterpoint the gargoyles conference then it really needed a lot more weighting. But honestly, there seemed no reason why that scene couldn’t have been placed back in back in the season debut. It came out of the blue, and disappeared startlingly from whence it came. Which I suppose harks back to my comments on the lack of an overall season flow as I said before.

Still, comments such as Fire Storm’s and Kyryn’s worry me slightly. I ought to make it clear that when I whinge about stories it’s because I am a habitual whinger not because there’s any great flaw in TGS. I love the size and focus of the stories, the tone of much of the writing and the direction being taken especially on the Trio and Demona. So complex and brilliant is the world of TGS that judging it by normal standards would just make my reviews look like a caffienated alcoholic on a sugar high talking. And we couldn’t have that, could we? :)

What do you mean, my tracts of incoherent burbling give the same effect?!

They shut down 8Bit Theater. And it was good. And I want to see if the black mage will get it on with the white mage.

New TGS> Quite good. Added deth to characters, and nice PR position.

Calíope> Condolences on the continued invasions.
<<it says its a new page under construction and all>>: Not the entries under Coming Up, the page titled What's New under Information. The actual address is http://www.dkcomm.net/dnr/info.php?topic=info&subtopic=whats_new

Fire Storm> <<Why is that surprising?>>: I don't know, it felt like the right thing to say.
<<$6 gets your a 1.5lb corned beef sandwich>>: Mmmm. Winterwolf, quick what's the average weight of a Stage Deli?
<<if it works, cool>>: It did, thank you.
<<If not... let me check my notes>>: Trying to be Riff? And for some reason I always think of the bari sax progression from Let me Clear my Throat after that phrase.
<<We blew up too much!>>: That sentence makes no sense.
<<who punishes who?>>: Ranma tortures Nabiki with the ten yen. But the Ryouga stuff was completely separate, with punish in the sense of pun-esque, the kind found at Calahan's.

Imzadi> <<I'll try that if I can find a copy of it>>: You mean you don't have it readily accessible? Shame, shame shame. Oh, and another popular low hit is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Oh so good.
<<Whoever gets a significant other first has to give the other guy a dollar. Deal?>>: You do realize I was referencing Trading Places?

Dreamie> <<Is that a new Japanese wrestler I have yet to hear about?>>: Why, yes. He thought Andy Kaufman's inter gender wrestling league was such a good idea, he brought it back, but this time with hentai tentacles and hermaphrodites.
<<sit down with a nice cup o’ Joe>>: Joe's cup? After you know where it's been?

AotN> <<I'm fourth chair in our Symphonic Band>>: Instrument? Congratulations, though.

Appropriate reverence given to Lain and Aaron for their new powers.

Gunjack> <<CrazySexyCool>>: I'll agree to the first, the second is most definitely true, but are you so sure about the third?

Na zdorov'ya.

*briefly enters*

My congratulations to both Lain and Aaron. I am confident that they will use their wisdom, resourcefulness, and temperance to the fullest of their abilities.

That's all I wanted to say. Real post someday.

Dreamie and FS > I heard something on the radio this morning about the monolith being slated (har har) to remain where it is until the start of kite-flying season, whenever that is. Probably pretty soon. As to where they'll move it next, who knows!

E-mail problems > in addition to me being waaaaayyyy behind on my mail, our computer's been throwing some funny glitches lately. So if anyone has e-mailed me and doesn't hear back by Friday, please try me again because it may have gotten eaten.

News > this is cool ... I got a package in the mail yesterday with an actual review copy of a book! Someone thought highly enough of Sabledrake to send me a free book so I can review it! Now, that is cool ... I could get to like this! I'll start reading it tonight. Also, have arranged the dates I'll be heading over to Kennewick to do the Black Roses reading -- first and third weekends in April, and then as many in May as it'll take. And Mickee promises that I will have a demo tape in time to promote it at the Gathering. _And_ I heard from the publisher looking at Silversilk, but she hasn't had time to read submissions yet, so still waiting for word on that.

Reunion > am greatly looking forward to it!

Well, I just sat down and GUESSED at what the website for the wipe might be, using words I remembered that happened in it, and I managed to stumble across it. So, the room can be wiped once again, yay!
In other news, there are now officially two new CR Co-Administrators as well as myself. They are Lain, and Aaron Wheeler. They will have the same duties and powers I do, and will have their acceptance speeches before long, I'm sure.
Ah well, back to buisness as usual folks!
