Like I said, Char, I was already late for work. I started proofreading and caught a mistake in the first sentence. At that point I basically said "fuck it, there's no way I can do this witohut winding up like 30 minutes late for work. It is in the process of being proofread now so by the time anyone else reads it, it shall be all be fixed.

DarkMaze, I find it kinda ironic that you make movies, yet don't go to movie theaters. That said, I'd like a part in the sequel to Turkish Rambo.

Char, your story is pretty outrageous in that it's 3 generations. On a totally unrelated note, the TV is on next to me and it's a commercial for gay men in the Boston area with German accents. No, that's not a joke. I'm not sure fans of Reno 911 are their target audience.

Wow, I can't believe how many typos I made in that entry. Sorry to everyone that read it before I had a chance to proofread. I'll just have to not post things before I proofread them because that was pretty appalling. Thanks for putting up with the like 20-30 typos I just fixed though!

Your article about your local movie theater was hilarious. My movie theater is equally horrible; I'm constantly hearing stories of 15-16 year olds literally having sex in the aisles between the seats, which is so wrong because:

1.Normally I'm not someone to say "get a room" to someone, but in this case I think it's appropriate. No one paying good money to get into a movie theater wants to see that.
2. There's gum and soda and popcorn and all kinds of nasty crap on the floor.
3. Not exactly the most romantic of settings.

I'd put up with your movie theater over mine any day.

Just so you know, Fallout 2 is considered one of the greatest PC games ever made. Other than that, great stuff.

Wow, I don't think I've ever heard anyone call Fallout 2 one of the greatest PC games ever made before. Even so, it doesn't change that I only know one person who ever played the game.

I love the movie theater one Smile

though it reminds me of a time when the friend I went with was the guy making annoying noises. Hes been doing coke for years and always tells me that he's finally quit.

But I went to see the new Hulk movie with him back in June, and the goddamn motherfucker had LOUD OBNOXIOUS NASAL DRIP and snorted loudly every 10 to 25 seconds throughout the WHOLE MOVIE. The longer he went with trying not to do it the longer the sequence of slimy snorts would be once he started up again.

I ended up moving to a different row and I could still hear it, I'm sure he pissed the whole damn theater off. Mad

I haven't hung out with him since.

I guess the moral is that friends should not let drugged out friends go to the movies. Confused

I enjoyed the eBay rant.

Damn, I'll stick to Craigslist then.

I didn't use my eBay account for about 2 years.

Recently I went to update that wishlist feature so that I could add a few foofighter albums. I found that my account was locked and blocked.

Apparently my account was hacked, so.. my password was stolen? No.

Um.. so someone logged in on a machine that I had previously logged in on? No.

So I had a virus and someone was abusing my account? No.

Someone simply used a URL hack to send emails out with my fucking screenname.

So eBay locked it. WTF? Why bother having a fucking password?

Also, I suggest using the same color wire for everything, multicolored Smile

. Some of that brown & white kind that you find in an ethernet cable. Then just for fun tie lots of bows and shit with it. Be sure to make all sorts of non-functional connections. And viola, totally fucked up wiring.

Thinking right now of the Simpsons movie where the bomb robot shoots itself.

I've been kicking around the idea of selling the RDRAM in my computer off on ebay once I build the new one. Now I think I'll just sell it at one of the local tech stores.

Craigslist is great for selling stuff.

The FTP was down earlier, so I was not able to update my blog this morning. It will be updated this evening when I get home from work.

Crop that image. So much unnecessary whitespace.

I have to say, I did used to play Guitar Hero, but then I got bored with it after about two months and sold both the game and the guitar for a quick forty bucks at GameStop.

I should get rid of my copy, but it's GH II for PS2. Probably not worth a damn.

Posted: Aug 14 2008 09:53 pm

I actually love Guitar Hero, and I got the idea for that entry while playing it. The only games I have for my Wii are Wii Sports, Wii Play (bought it just for the controller), Guitar Hero 3, and the Aerosmith Guitar Hero (BIG disappointment, but got a second guitar so I can play with my girlfriend). There are a bunch of Wii games I want, but money is kinda tight, and Wii Sports and GH are so good, I don't need anything else yet.

Make sure you get Smash Bros. Brawl when (if) you get bored of those.

Updated the log again. It shld be updated daily, Monday through Thursday, though I dropped the ball last Thursday.

You and Syd need to write a book together.

Also, I can access Jeebus' blog from work, which is awesome.
