Spy Kids II > saw it last night with Becca and it was a lot of fun. Worth seeing if for no other reasons than Ricardo Montalban, the Sinbad-esque skeletons, and the creatures. I don't know if Ray Harryhausen would be proud or not, given the labor of love his claymation was. Lots of little in-jokes on other hit movies, and return appearances by Floop and Minion (as well as Bill Paxton as the theme park owner). Loads of previews, at least 8 and most of them looked awful (Pokemon 4ever ... that animation is just so crappy on the big screen) but we did get an HP preview (so I won my bet with Becca, hee hee!)

Did a site update, 4 new pics in the Gallery! Clickie.

Hello, Comment Room!

I just wanted to drop by and say hi, since it has been such a long time, at least three years. I remember when I used to come in here and be insane beyond comprehension... ah, those were the days. Poor Goliath was terrified of me because I kept torturing him. [grins] Heck, everyone thought I was the most insane person in the comment room...

Well, to those that remember me (I'll be surprised if anyone does! :P) it's nice to see you again! To those I have not met, thank you for keeping this comment room alive for many years! I have not yet given up hope that new episodes of Gargoyles will come, someday, and I hope that you guys have not either! :)

[covers everyone in silly string for old time's sake] Heh, heh. ;) [poof]

Wilek> <<My desire to own this item is of such intensity as to endanger the spleens of every squirrel for miles around>>: So just what is the exchange rate for squirrel spleens, anyway?

Spacebabie> <<Welcome Back>>: Mercy buckets.
<<So Technically it�s D>>: Pretty much, yeah.
<>: I suppose it is possible.
<<but isn�t all the water there frozen>>: You, poor innocent little girl.
<<Will do>>: Only if you also revere my hariness.
<<Okay I�m not cruel I refuse to eat veal or lamb>>: But I don't really see mutton being served.

Warpmind> <<Are you sure you want the Bad-Ass Bandana, and not Gene's Raincoat?>>: But of course. I always continue my search for the oddest bandanas. If only I could find a Hibiki bandana.
<<Might make an entertaining gift>>: True. And I can't dance anyway.

Imzadi> <<Gay porn>>: Do you have any reccomendations from your collection?
<<Why?>>: Length, I assume.
<<You should see the inside of a nuclear power plant>>: My favorite is the wiring on supercolliders.
<<All you need is a phone line>>: And an account, and a local number. And I really shouldn't occupy their one phone line that long.
<>: My might gloat about getting some, and by the frequeny of those we might be able to extrapolate.
<<Huh?>>: Wilek said I could use a marmoset with our kidney shaped garden outline to summon massive amounts of whiz (cheese or otherwise). We just got four pallets of stone for the wall.
<<Monkeys?>>: Monkeys are always good.

Hobbies: Playing with catnip toys, sleeping in sunny spots, watching people and chasing tail.
Latest News: Coughed up a hairball yesterday, found out later it wasn't mine. Ate three gold fish out of the pond in the backyard, bit the neighbors kid and scratched the back of the couch again. Tomorrow I sleep.

Hello everyone, long time no see. I've been busy with work, mostly. My project got cancelled (3 weeks wasted) and I've been given the assignment to learn mathcad and do an analysis in the next 5 business days. No problem!

Today I finished the mathcad thing and started yet another analysis.

On the plus side, just 6.5 more days till I drive back to Los Angeles! Yes!

In other news, my dad bought a company yesterday. He was feeling rather flush. The bill gates of the binder industry, I was calling him. Of course, the reality is that now we're so close to broke its silly. My dad brushes it off, saying "the measure of how rich you are is not how much you have, but how much you owe". I guess that explains Worldcom, and Adelphia. Maybe I should ask him for something expensive. Anyway, I think its sooooo cool.

Spacebabie: <<Oh Its the Journey. This is the last episode Greg worked on>>: Your dream self needs a life. <<If anyone wants to be included in my briends links reply, or e-mail me>>: Kicktothenuts.com demands a link. <<Hey I'm worried about yalls>>: Aww, thanks. But I'm fine, really. <<Shakira>>: WTF!? Has he no taste? <>: Gay porn. <<Josh and SJ are rubbing off on me>>: You wish. <<Please don't try to confuse me>>: Easy since you're blonde. <<Bready boy>>: Huh? <<just standing there with your ipod open>>: iPods don't open and I don't have one anyway. <<it took hours for Josh to clean his vomit off his keyboard>>: Actually I was at work so I just ordered a new one.

DPH: <>: Why? <<Why would a computer go online by itself? Mine has been doing that somewhat lately after I go offline>>: Is it set to connect automatically when an application that uses TCP/IP is opened?

Leo: <<It a shame that Commodore screwed up thw AMIGA>>: What does that have to do with i-computers?

Ravyn: <<the ductwork looks like Boy Scout knots>>: You should see the inside of a nuclear power plant. <<who starts school here pretty soon? I start up fall classes at the end of this month>>: As do I. Now if I can just figure out how to get around having 2 of my classes cancelled.

Gside: <<just visiting relatives. Old relatives with no internet>>: All you need is a phone line. <<Hadn't even heard you had a SO>>: I wouldn't tell y'all if I had one. <>: It was all the single males. <<we do have stone for the summoning kidney>>: Huh?

Warpmind: <<ASSKISSING>>: How do you think I got this job? <<People, we need to come up with new and better topics>>: Monkeys? <<funky business, people>>: I think that goes without saying here.

Stephanie: <>: I'd prefer if they contacted me through you. I don't like emails from random people.

IX9: <<I'm on a lovely 3-day cruise with a few peeps on the way to Bahmas>>: I hate you.

Hey, Greg Bishansky, I tired to send you something and got a message from hotmail saying that your inbox is full and that it isn't accepting any more mail. You might want to look into that.
let me know when it's okay to try again. Or ask Aaron or Mara to forward you a copy, because I leave on Sunday.

I don't think Wilek should a monopoly on stupid ebay items.

Here's a kicker: for $2,000,000 on ebay, you could buy a DIY Carpet Installation & Repair Business. One of the kickers is location: Clarksville, AR.

Here's the payment listed: $2 Mil. Plus 1/2 of 1% annual gross revenues. Young startup business. Growing daily. Asking Price will increase with volume. Will finance w/ 10% down @ 7% for 5 years. Seller is licensed Real Estate Broker.

I consider that item utterly stupid at that price.

On the other hand, I am concerned. I am hoping to make $800 off helping a guy sell his retail business on ebay for ~$80,000 (he called in a couple of auctioneers and asked them for the estimated value of his current inventory. The estimated value was ~$80,000.). What concerns me is I haven't seen any bids on ebay on a business for an amount greater than $20,000. Being a moralist I am concerned about this. Should this guy looking to sell his business somewhere else?

Or maybe the entire space time continuum will colapse in upon itself and we will all have to start over. Otherwise divine intervention will occur to prevent such mortal foolishness.>Ok, I believe I need to explain the history of those world wars.
World War 1 and World War 2 are the same ones that we already know.
World War 3 - A group of people wanted to prevent World War 1 and a war broke out over that. Naturally, the group that wanted World War 1 to happen won.
World War 4 - A group of people wanted to prevent World War 2 and a war broke out over that. Naturally, the group that wanted World War 2 won.
This same pattern kept erupting for the odd and even numbered wars. If we can just win World War 17, we can prevent all the world wars after number 2.

Stephanie - Unfortunately, I couldn't find any jobs for which I am qualified. Thanks for the effort.

Leo - <This might be interesting.> I thought I had an exclusive monopoly in reading between the lines.

Warpmind - <The New Math> Interesting. I must remember that for future reference.

Spacebabie - <Please don’t try to confuse me.> *DPH of Borg enters the CR and looks at DPH of Rules.* Confused yet?

Kathy - Ahh. Somebody with common sense.

Here's a new riddle of the day: Why would a computer go online by itself? Mine has been doing that somewhat lately after I go offline.

Here it is Friday and the room is only 49K big. Sheesh.

Hello, all from...*looks around around.* Um, from out in the middle of ocean.

Yeah, that's right in the middle of the ocean. I'm on a lovely 3-day cruise with a few peeps on the way to Bahmas. pretty fun, ne? Ah, the Bahmas the land of fun,sun and scantily clad --*coughs.* Er beaches -_-;. This is a well deserved vacation to get away from writing fan-fiction, drawing and *coughs.* um, yeah. Besides I need to give the 'ole brain to rest,and what better chance to give it some resting then on a sunny island sipping Margaritas. ^_^

By, the way ship is really fun and so is the entertainment and women. So, I will not be a bored little wolfie this weekend not with who I got to invite. ^_^

* walks off smiling sipping on a Rum and coke.*

Bah, I'm on vacation so no closing quote from me today.

Hey, been a while, anyone notice, of course not, but that's ok.
Been working mostly, been coming in for peeks on what is going on but obviously not much, everyone is like me, working. Going back to school in a little more than a week. The good parst are the fun peopel to hang out with, the fast internet and I promised I'd stop by and see Gabe's apartment. The down side is it is school, (probably have to help my cousin, Camera, move in too.)
Other than that I have been doind art and writing, new story hopefully before I leave and I did some shading on some pieces for Mara. Should be nice.
Now, off to do some TGS art.

Re: Sabledrake > thanks! I'm especially tickled by what's happened with a book I reviewed (MOREVI). The publisher wants to quote me (and send me a free copy), the author referred me to another author who's sending me a book ... score! Wow! Books in the mail, and a chance to do a little bit of a good deed for fellow struggling writers. I love it!

Going to see Spy Kids II with Becca this afternoon. Ought to be fun. The papers have all given it high marks.

I hope to have a site update later today. Got some new pics to add to the Gallery and new links.

Not much else going on here, except that I keep having weird dreams (like having a garage sale only to go out and find that someone left a baby on the lawn).

Heya, gang.

Spacebabie: You'd like to stuff that creepy thing in your brother's bed? ...Here's an improvement on the idea: Equip it with a blonde wig, so that when he wakes up, he sees the back of its head. };)

Stephanie: Gotcher e-mail. Did you see my reply? :) YAY! :D (Bytheway, did you mean US or Canadian dollars?)

It has been a long, slow while.

Re: Slow news week> Except for the serial rapist on the loose, those 17 members of an organized crime unit successfully bribing/threatening all the Québec judges, and the rampant industrial terrorism we have been suffering not much has been happening around Montréal either.

Warpmind: Check your e-mail.

Imzadi: I will talk to my Dad; he may want to buy your Magic cards. Then again, I know three other people who may be interested. E-mail me your price range and specifics.

DPH: Looking for work? Check out the International Civil Service Commission's website at: http://icsc.un.org then go to the Personnel Policies Division (PPD) and look at the Vacancy Announcement Bulletin (listed in red at the left side).
Words of Advice from the Personnel Bureau: If you are under 30, do not apply for P-4 level or higher. Go to the Agency's website to get their application form and procedures and a full post description. When applying, refer to the post by its Vacancy Announcement Number and not its Common Classification or title. Organizations do not send application acknowledgements. Trust me.
I have been working here for less than two months, but I have been given the responablity to decide not to let so-and-so be considered for a position because he p!ssed me off by applying in a frustrating manner. If you want, you can send me your application(s) by e-mail to my personal box and I will check it/them over for you and send it to the right person (you would not believe how many people do not send their applications to the right person).
After all of that, the UN is a great (read: safe, job-secure, excellent benefits, opportunity to travel and continue education, friendly, multi-ethnic, oddballs accepted, lots of parties at lunch time, real sense of accomplishment and participation, etc.) place to work.

I must be a masochist; I am actually encouraging people to give me more work ;)

Ugh I wrenched my knee yesterday, and today I woke up with allergy problems. I was sneezing for a short while.

4 things the boy is interested in
1. Video games
2.Wrestling
3.Yu Gi Oh
4. Shakira

He got so pissed the other day cause Shakira was number two of VH1’s sexiest performers and J. Lo was number one.
His birthday is coming up and I got keep in mind what he likes.

I’ll post again after the room wipes, and by my calculations it will take two days for the top ten to fill.

Yes I’m being a smartass. Josh and SJ are rubbing off on me.

Replies.

DPH<<<ok, I must find something to debate it.>>>Please don’t try to confuse me.

Josh<<<its 2 posts nearly 24 hours. But that's a minor detail>>>So say something Bread boy instead of just standing there with your ipod open.

Leo<<>>I was playing around with the glow feature of PSP7

Rayvn<<<Well, okay, I'll be an emotional wreck for a while, having to deal with being so far away from someone special again>>>Jeez we needed to use a crow bar to pry you two off each other, and it took hours for Josh to clean his vomit off his keyboard.

Gside>>>Welcome Back<<>>So Technically it’s D<<>>I think it was the both of you.<<>>but isn’t all the water there frozen???

Mecord<<<been busy. so busy in fact I forgot to anounce my story last week. but it's there for anyone who missed it. >>>Okay it just appeard that everyone dropped off the face of the Earth.

Warpmind<<<Feel free to worship my baldness, though. };) >>>Will do

Kathy<<<ducking thunderstorms that has been keeping the room subdued.>>>They woke me up at 4:am<<<Or the cow that had triplets? Yep. It's been a slow news week too.>>>Hmmm three servings of Veal..Okay I’m not cruel I refuse to eat veal or lamb. I wait til they are fully grown before I eat them.

Wilek<<<This would make a kick-arse familiar. >>>I like to stick it in my brother’s bed while he is asleep. Let’s see what happens when he wakes up next to that.

Spacebabie> <<She’s pretty and I remember you were jealous when she spent some time with Josh>>: I thought that was me.

Leo> <<By the way, where did the topic of ostriches come from?>>: does it really matter, and do you really want to know. And on a side note, we may not have a marmoset, but we do have stone for the summoning kidney.

Warpmind> <<As for the "Don't Tread On Me" flag - I thought that was just a local state flag, or something>>: Nah, it's national, but it never quite got official.

Spacebabie> <<???????????>>: I believe he was referring to something about watersports.

Imzadi> <<I'll fix that!>>: I hope you shall.

Warpmind> <<Now we just need someone dedicated - or gullible - enough to check ALL the links in the files there>>: Shouldn't be too bad, what with a good find/replace.
<<This bandana comes in many colors and patterns; no two descriptions have yet been found to match>>: I really must get me one of those.

It has been quiet around here. I suppose it's all that pre back to school, get one more quick trip in before summer ends while ducking thunderstorms that has been keeping the room subdued.

Speaking of which, did anybody see the guy on the news that says he can stop hurricaines by seeding the clouds with some secret polymer? Silly, huh.

*Warpmind wanders in, pondering...*
I think I may be in trouble when it comes to work... I'll probably not manage to give 100%... Then again... Take a look at this, which arrived in my e-mail today...

The New Math

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103%? Here's a little math that might prove helpful.
If....
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then,

H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%

K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%

But,
A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%

And,
B U L L S H I T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%

So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top. And look how far
A S S K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%
will take you.

Just something to think about.

Anyways, post...

Spacebabie: *Is frenched, blinks, and starts blowing out steam through the ears* Um... Thanks, I guess, but that's rather inappropriate; I'm already occupied. *Smirk* Feel free to worship my baldness, though. };)

And astonishingly enough, that's all there was to replying today... People, we need to come up with new and better topics. And NO MORE tomatoes! ;p

Peace, properity and funky business, people.

**delurks**

*contented sigh* I've had a wonderful day. It's my wife's 20th birthday. I think I've had just as much if not more fun than she has. We watched movies, opened presents, had my mother make a cake, and even played a game of Diablo together. The only down side is that all my wife's friends can't tease her about being a teenager anymore. Oh, well. :)

Spacebabie>> <Where the Frell is everyone?> been busy. so busy in fact I forgot to anounce my story last week. but it's there for anyone who missed it.

DPH>> <World War... 17> There is a series of paradoxes there. If you prevent the wars that are to prevent the wars that are to prevent the wars... then we will be fighting the wars anyway. that or we'll be fighting only the even numbered wars. Or maybe the entire space time continuum will colapse in upon itself and we will all have to start over. Otherwise divine intervention will occur to prevent such mortal foolishness.

Saw the movie "Signs" last night. Kind of a tripy movie. A little wierd and maybe not the best movie these guys have made (Sixth Sense was their best), but it has a lot of suspense and is fairly scary. Even my wife was scared and she never gets scared in movies. She nearly ripped my arm off once or twice.

I hath returned. New Hampshire was mostly boring, Boston was better what with Faneuil Hall (and I heard a new story of my father's college days, no porcupines in this one, just a musk turtle). But when I got back, we discovered a major storm had ripped through the area (some suggest it was a tornado). Major power outages, 200+ year old tree crushed a third of a house on the end of our street. We've always been lucky with our power, but something bad happened with our cable, leaving me without a connection for a good bit. Enough about me, time for replies to people who used my name. I'll try to get to the rest later.

Kathy> <<Best of Luck on the move Gside>>: Not actually a move, just visiting relatives. Old relatives with no internet.

Spacebabie> <<Dude you either A). Never heard my singing before B)Don’t find Celine Dion all that threatening C) are completely wacko or D) All the above.>>: I vote A and C, but since it isn't as overplayed any more, B might also apply.

Fire Storm> <<could you please archive your MP3's in your eden account until I get back?>>: Okay, but you won't miss too much. Besides, you can always ask for any repost. Or if I'm generous, guess at what I have and ask for something I haven't posted.

**sighs** Well, I'm back in Arizona now ... after an absolutely *wonderful* trip to Michigan to spend some quality time with Coyote!!!!!! I had such an awesome time, and I really, really didn't want to leave ... oh, well. Hopefully I'll get to go back soon, and I only have about a year and a half left before I get my degree ... two years at the most ... then I'll be free, FREE!!!!

**takes a deep breath** Okay, I'll be fine. Honest. Well, okay, I'll be an emotional wreck for a while, having to deal with being so far away from someone special again ... but I'll be okay.

It was fun hangin' out with Firestorm and Lady Mystic for an evening too, even if it *was* the evening when everything went straight to hell on their house situation. Oh, well! They'll probably be missin' for a little while during their move ... but I did get to see their new house! It's definitely a project for Firestorm, but man, it'll be super nice when it's all done!! I have to wonder about the do-it-yourself-er that had to have built that place, though ... they put each and every light bulb in the basement on their own separate circuits, the ductwork looks like Boy Scout knots ... and that's just for starters. Ah, well ... ;)

Got to see lots of cute duckies and stuff in MI too! And got to go on a really, way cool boat ride in the St. Clair river, and even went over into Canadian waters ... it was awesome!!!!! So I guess I've been to Canada now ... how spiffy. ;) I'm still amazed at all the water around in Michigan ... it's quite breathtaking for someone who was born and raised in Arizona. :)

So, who starts school here pretty soon? I start up fall classes at the end of this month. Best of luck to anyone starting soon too!

Well, I'd better go wallow in my loneliness for a bit ... okay, I'm being overdramatic, but I really, really miss Coyote ... ;) I'll see you guys around!

Somehow, I've been assigned the task of recruiting people to fight in World War . *glances at paper* . 17. This war is about preventing World War . *glances at paper* . 15. World War 15 is about preventing World War . *glances at paper* . 13. World War 13 is about preventing World War . *glances at paper* . 11. World War 11 is about preventing World War . *glances at paper* . 9. World War 9 is about preventing Wolrd War . *glances at paper* 7. Unfortunately, my sheet doesn't list why World War 7 is being fought, but I have an idea. ;)

Imzadi - <Hmmm...seems I forgot to post last night. Oh well.> Hmm. 1-3=7 then.

Lain - Is that video what I *think* that video is? If it is, damn.

Stephen - <And for those that are wondering why the avmists.garg-fans.org links are having trouble, it's because we only recently got the account cleared with the server-provider and have set up access to begin moving into our new digs... so, until further notice, please don't use the garg-fans.org link until we have everything back in place.> Interesting.

Kathy - Yea, but do you let it pile up? I have enough items that were canned before 1995 that it is not even funny.

Spacebabie - <If there is not a debate in here then there is a debate in there.> ok, I must find something to debate it.

Imzadi - <I'll fix that!> Honestly, I think we need a new poster here who everybody agrees is honest and will reply to everyone's posts and share his/her personal life. Sorry, but I'm not that person.

Jan - <The canned foods are then good for at least 2 years on the shelf, if not longer.... plus they taste tons better than store bought canned goods =) > It depends on the item. Soggy pickles aren't good and pickles that started off sweat end up sour.

SargeAbernathy - Did you post any of our fanfic at www.bwtf.com? I could have swore some of your stories seem similiar from that area.

I had this strange dream last night. In the dream we actually HAVE Toon Disney, although we didn't know it at the time. I grabbed the controller, the tv came on and the channel was Toon Disney.
"When did we get this?" The Boy asks.
"I dunno." Was my response. Well we saw what was coming up next.
"Oooh leave it!" Dad shouted So I was getting ready to sit back when the credits rolled.
"Aww poop" I said.
"What?" The boy asks.
"It's the Goliath Chronicles" Then I had to explain about Greg leaving then we saw the episode title
"Oh Its the Journey. This is the last episode Greg worked on."

Oh yes It's done my gargoyles site is done. I just need to tweak a few spelling problems scan some more gathering pics...but it is Mostly done......mostly.

If anyone wants to be included in my briends links reply, or e-mail me.

I will add all the Art chicks sites soon.

Hmmm...seems I forgot to post last night. Oh well.

Lain: Windows sucks. Get a real computer instead of more cats. Cats can't help you watch movies. Or edit them.

Leo: "i" computers are limited to RAM upgrades and airport cards...officially. You can get at the hard drive too if you're willing to void the warranty. And then of course you can add whatever peripherals you can attach to USB and Firewire. I imagine that eventually 3rd parties will be offering processor upgrades for iBooks and iMacs, for those willing to pick at them.

But only the G4 tower is fully upgradable and easy to operate on.

<<Does it show ANY information about the file: size, type, etc or do you just get a big error message that says it's corrupted>> it tells me size (158MB), that its a video clip, where it is, when i got it, and when the last time i looked at it was. everything in the "general" window is there. in the "details" window, it says there is no copyright information (heh..) and "this file is invalid or corrupted".
<<Option1: Have you tried "re" downloading a video file that you already have, that you know works with your editor. See if the "re" downloaded file works>> did i not already mention i had done that? "i have downloaded all available versions of this video file and they are all the same - they will play, but not import" hmmm.. o.O <<If you have a video card with a tv output>> nope.. that was an easy answer..

so.. what youre basically trying to tell me is.. im screwed.. ?

TGS CR INFO UPDATE:

The 2002 archive has been update to include the week of July 28th to August 5th.
>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/archive/2002/

*** ATTENTION! IMPORTANT! ***

TGS CR ARCHIVING:
Due to the move to our new home, Fire Storm and I will be without internet access for as little as a few days up to a few weeks. In the mean time, could a few of you (for redundancy purposes) save the TGS FULL COMMENT ROOM for me until I return? (NOTE: Please don't save the files as a "complete" web page in IE or as text documents by selecting the text and copying it to a text editor.) I'll collect the saved weeks and upload them as soon as I return. I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks and hope to see you soon!

Roofers still at work. Theyre almost half done. My computer is in the room over the garage, which has a sloped ceiling matching the underside of the roof. This is where they decided to work today. It was noisy, but I needed my daily computer fix, so I wore earplugs :)

replies:

lain: Re Video file:
<> Does it show ANY information about the file: size, type, etc or do you just get a big error message that says it's corrupted?<
Option1: Have you tried "re" downloading a video file that you already have, that you know works with your editor. See if the "re" downloaded file works. If not, then you may have other problems like a virus.
Option 2: (if you're really desperate)
If you have a video card with a tv output, you could record your screen output on on to a video tape, play the tape back into your computer and record on your video editor. What program are you using for your editor?

Sarge:<<Killer tomatoes= never seenm the movie. . . . is it any good?>> I would call it "fun," if you've seen "Toxic Avenger." Stay away from the sequals though.

Scarry thing I just found out. Theres a "Killer Tomatoes" fandom out there, with people writing Killer Tomatoes fan-fic.

Stephen R:>You left out:

The Mayor is on vacation,
The (some-thing some-thing)-ation
The police have gone on strike today,
The National Guard has run away,
Tomatoes will have their day.

*sings in an off key falsetto* ahem
"Puberty, puberty love"

*stops singing, vocal cords hurt, is glad for earplugs*

Spacebabie:<Did you know grapes can grow in Midland TX?> those wild Texas grapes.. aren't they the kind you have to peel the outer skin off or you'll burn your lip?<> true, but that box set will probably cost over 70 dollars if it includes all special editions.

Josh:<<ordered my new auxiliary video card so I can hook up a second monitor>> I had one of those, but it wouldn't play dvd's on the "secondary" monitor only on which ever was set to "primary". probably some copy protection system in the unlikely event my "secondary monitor" was a dvd recorder :P <<a ram upgrade for my iBook in the near future.>> I didn'nt know that you could upgrage "i"computers :)

okay. computer question:

i have a video file which is functioning (ie, i can watch it) however, in the "properties" window, it says the file is corrupted. i have downloaded all available versions of this video file and they are all the same - they will play, but not import.

i cannot use this video file in my editing program.. and i really really *REALLY* need it for two vids i am working on.
is there any way to.. UN-corrupt the file? o.O

i had a big post earlier but my computer died and i lost it. it was all about "the sum of all fears" which i saw a few days ago. anyways, cat gettin spayed tomorrow, poor girl. essay not finished and.. thats about it.

thanks for any help and chau.

And for those that are wondering why the avmists.garg-fans.org links are having trouble, it's because we only recently got the account cleared with the server-provider and have set up access to begin moving into our new digs... so, until further notice, please don't use the garg-fans.org link until we have everything back in place.

Well, I'm back... and that means I survived the San Diego Comic Con. Whew... I don't think I've never seen that many people all in one place before. And I did a LOT of walking, too. Probably almost as much walking as standing it line. It was kinda like going to Disneyland, actually. ;)

Saw a lot of friends and folks from the Gargoyles fandom there, so that was cool, too. I might try to do a quick Comic Con diary later in the week, but I've got fanfic demons nipping at my heels, too... so no promises just yet. For now though, I'm off to recover from my day of traveling to get back home.

5th Mecord
6th Dreamie and Winterwolf
7th Lain
8th Mooncat
9th Josh
10th Jan

Avalon Mists - yay!!!!

back to the house chores, then the writing.

mmm... cooked chicken gizzards and hearts today, >^,,^< mmmm.... love gizzards and hearts!!! Actually, I like hearts much better, but they only sell them mixed. I miss the nice big beef hearts the grocery used to carry. Oh well, as long as I can still buy beef liver...

Mmm!!! Liver!!! >^,,^<

Some raw fish would have been nice, but I'm on tight purse strings this month. sigh. No sushi for a while.

This is hilarious. I think everyone must be online at the same time or somethin' because you guys are all WAY off as to what rank your post is. I couldn't help but laugh when i started counting and people were calling sixth and tenth and ninth. . . .

I dunno what this one claims but I claim it as my number post.

Saw Reign of Fire= Bad movie really. . . . it didn't really keep my attention and the ending sucked. No offense to anyone who liked it. I'm going to go see Signs next.

Killer tomatoes= never seenm the movie. . . . is it any good?

The August issue of Sabledrake Magazine is now posted! Clickie clickie. Some good stuff, but I'm wiped out from reading and reviewing an entire book that came my way on Saturday ; )

Jan > thanks for the info; I will have to figure out where I saw that about the pepper and try to divine why. But I'm glad it's not a requirement, since I don't care for peppers.

That sheriff with the quote > I saw a bit on CNN about this -- Lancaster on CNN, the mind boggles! -- anyway, the poor bloke's apparently had to issue an apology. Too bad.

Book news > Knight of the Basilisk is finally officially at the printer! Yay! Contract stuff is progressing with Black Roses. Got the edited version of the short story I sold back, reviewed it, replied. Deadline for the 2nd zombie anthology is soon so I may hear good news (braaains!).

Spacebabie > well, I am feeling better but if it'll get me pics, I will do my best to recover slowly <g>

WHOA! GUYS! The new AvMists address works now! Except there's just the old issues, and the internal links point to where it used to be... but STILL! *Grins* Now we just need someone dedicated - or gullible - enough to check ALL the links in the files there, and to make sure they all point to where the files are now, namely under avmists.gargoyles-fans.org. ;)

Lain: Now, with a name like Kinkos, why *wouldn't* they accept a pic like that? };)

SJ: Somehow, I don't find that too surprising... Just make sure they remain human.

Josh: I'll keep that in mind... *Snicker* As for the six girls... hot? *Shrug* Pretty much average teenagers, I'd guess. But there's six of them! };)

Spacebabie: You have an Innocent mode? ÕÕ I'm SHOCKED! };) And as for the typo thing... *Sticks tongue out at Spacebabie*

Oh, and I see the latest Sabledrake Magazine is up, now, too. YAY! :) (Personally, I like those two magical items better than I like the story, but I guess I'm biased... I'll take any second opinions there.)

Attack of the killer tomatoes!
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
They'll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you
Chew you up for brunch
And finish you off for dinner or lunch!

They're marching down the halls
They're crawling up the walls
They're gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy
Rotten to the core
They're standing outside your door!

Remember Herman Farbage
While taking out his garbage
He turned around and he did see
Tomatoes hiding in his tree
Now he's just a memory!

I know I'm going to miss her
A tomato ate my sister
Sacramento fell today They're marching in San Jose
Tomatoes are on their way!

<pauses> And for those that prefer the Fox-Kids cartoon version:

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
From Gangreen's lab come forth each week
The ripe red monsters of which we speak
Except when he has a security leak!

Tomatoes, Tomatoes!

Oh, isn't it pityticing
Tomatoes eating the city
Can no-one stop these mutant fruits
Where will we find our brave recruits?
Can Wilbur ever get rid of that dumb parachute?

Tomatoes, Tomatoes!!!
