"Return of the Jimmy"
I agree, by the way. We should do paintball again. I haven't done it
in over two years, I think... so I'm gonna suck, but that's okay,
because it's not like any of you will be pros either. Well, except
for maybe Steve, but that's cause that's what Steve does. Damn you
Steve for having that be what you do.
That's okay though... we can all still shoot Michael.
And I know I'm going to take flak for this, but I say we bring jOe,
and we play Paintball with him again. C'mon... I mean that's what's
classic. That's the way it was before Jimmy got all "I wanna join the
Air Force for the really good food" and left for Alaska. ALASKA.
By the way, I hate ALASKA... almost as much as I hate CALIFORNIA...
maybe more in some ways. Fuckin' Alaska seems to steal everything
from me.
I will kill you ALASKA. Do you hear me... I will kill you dead.
You and your precious ELK and OIL RESERVES.
Why the hell did we add ALASKA to the United States? At least we had
a reason for CALIFORNIA. We wanted their beaches and their gold...
but then they gave us the STDS and Mexicans.
DAMN YOU CALIFORNIA! You gave us Crystal! I will never forgive you for that.
I suppose the two are mutually evil. They are probably part of that
Axis of Evil.
Now, I know that typically an Axis of anything should be in threes,
and according to Bush, the Axis of Evil is something like Iraq, Iran
and North Korea...
But then again, it is Bush's Axis of Evil... so he probably
miscalculated and thinks there are more. I wouldn't be surprised.
In fact, there's an idea... I will trick Bush into thinking that
California has seceeded the Union and become a part of Iraq. I will
trick him into believing that Arnold is really a member of al-Qaida.
I bet he doesn't realize that Arnold is really Austrian.
If Kerry were elected, I wonder what the jokes would be like.
Clinton's era had pretty good jokes... Bush's has obviously. I
wonder... should Kerry be elected... what would his jokes be?
His wife was apparently the wife of the Heinz Ketchup guy - from what
I hear. That could be an opening. You know, along the lines of:
"Hehe, Kerry married Ketchup..."
Okay... not so funny - but you know jOe would laugh at it.
... then he'd eat Kerry's wife.

Email Approach to Blogging
Yeah, so I've decided to try this email-posting thing, so that I can
finally start reposting, and reporting all of my wonderful things to
you fine people. Such fine people.
Also... I have noticed that my cell phone as the ability to take
pictures and send them via email. So just imagine the posting
opportunities that presents me. I have tested it on a friend, and it
worked, once.
Since then no luck... but I'm gonna keep trying. Soon I will post
pictures of the annoying people that I see at Hollywood Video,
complete with story.
I have one now, but I have to determine how to correctly post it the
the site. I doubt simply attaching it to this email will do the
trick.
Gah, I need to probably buy webspace so I can start storing pictures
and posting them to the internet.
Hey Bradbury, you have a .Mac account... how versatile is it? Can I
access most of it's features off a PC, for when I'm at work? I
noticed the price on a .Mac account was fairly reasonable, especially
for the space given and all that - or at least I figured it was
reasonable. Let me know how accurate my assumption of this is.
For the time being, I'll just email James the picture and have him
post it if I cannot figure this out.
If it all works out, this may be the beginning of a whole new posting
era for me...
hehe, then again, I certainly have said that in the past... so much
so, that all of you are probably laughing and having nostalgia about a
certain... MEGApost...
I miss the glory days.

WATCH
I,ROBOT.
anyone paying to see this movie, finding they dislike it, i will pay them the cost of the movie back.
anyone not viewing the movie on the principal that "its a disgrace to the books" - you are wrong.
anyone not viewing the movie on the principal that "will smith lol, independance day with robots" - you are wrong.
i saw a 12am showing of this.
i was severely impressed - and it has bumped shrek 2 off of my top summer movie.

Steve, the backlash from House of the Dead didn't go well, and the Resident Evil fans literally raised an uproar.
This will in no way appease Alone in the Dark fans, what-so-ever.
But oh ... the multiple ways in which I would ravish Tara Reid.
Mmm.
I'll probably go see this ( read download ) just so I have more live footage of Tara Reid to jerk off to at 3am.

The Chronicles of Ridiculous 98105-20060625-0959-6007
With regards to the Matrix and Pitch Black, I'm not necessarily surprised that everyone you knew couldn't wait for it to come out. But that's your sample population. Taking into account every group, and summing them into one standard global population, then I think what I said before still applies... The Matrix, and Pitch Black (more so Pitch Black), weren't as anticipated or expected. At the very least, not compared to their successors.
First of all, they were the first. Second, they set the stage for the successors. People wanted to see Chronicles because they saw Pitch Black. So you take the fan base and then add in new people who just simply say, "OOhhh, that looks coooooool." Same with Matrix.
Of course, the relationship can go in reverse. Working at Hollywood video, I was bombarded, and unfortunately still am, with the question, "Ooooh, do you have Pitch Black on DVD."
Fuckers. It's the same thing everytime. That or, "Shrek" or "Matrix Reloaded".
And of course, sequel's tending to suck goes back to my original hypothesis of Star Wars Hype. You hype up a movie, and it has no choice but to suck. I'm concerned the same will hold true for Spider-Man 2. On the other hand, when a movie is in that position, then it only comes out good if it truly was a good movie, so it's forced to stand on it's own merits and not just clever advertising. So who knows, that could be a good thing.
As for the French Revolution... I remember hearing that the King and Queen were hated. That was the one sparked off by hunger and famine, right? Isn't that were the Queen said, "Let them eat cake?"
Again, I'm not claiming to know that, but I swear that's what I remember.

Revolt 98105-20040624-1506-6005
They invented the Guillotine for it. Or at least that was the impression some of my history teachers gave me. Of course, they were from Bethel, so some of that information is circumspect I suppose.
Still, if they didn't invent the Guillotine for the Revolution, they certainly made it applicable for the Revolution.
But I do contest, the French Revolution didn't make as many ripples as say... the Soviet uprising. I'm not a history major, so I'm not all historied up. I wish I was, but I'm not. I should read up on that.
It is kinda interesting to note that as far as I can recollect, I hardly learned anything about the Soviet uprising and the start of communism in Russia. I mean, other than the basics. We learned much, much more about the French Revolution. My assumption: I was in school during those years that we would have learned about it, while under the veil of the Cold War. I guess nobody wanted to talk about Russian and the pros/cons of their history. That's my off-handed best guess, so who knows.
And Chronicles of Riddick: HAHAHAH FUCKERS... to all you who said, "ohh Pitch Black was so good..." I did watch Pitch Black, and yes, it was better than I had expected, but if any of you actually thought that Chronicles of Riddick was going to be good, you obviously hadn't learned your lessons with Star Wars and the prequels. Sequels, prequels, what-have-you... just tend not to go good.
Usually someone gets the idea that even bigger special effects are going to make it better. Not to mention... Pitch Black was good because nobody expected it to be. Matrix was good (in the eyes of the general populace, and compared to it's successors) because nobody expected it to be good and it was a no-name. Star Wars was good because it wasn't expected. Then what happens? "Ohh, I have a fanbase, and thus am guaranteed money and an audience. Let's CGI everything! People, plants... a moose in a room. Doesn't fit? Doesn't matter, Do it ANYWAY!"
I hate when captalism makes movies.

Quantum Fuckin' Awesome SEA-20040624-1228-6003
Recently I purchased Season ONE of the Quantum Leap Series... and I was reminded of how fuckin' spectacular that show was. Ahh... I remember the times when I'd sneak into the living room when I was supposed to be asleep and watch Quantum Leap. The best.
I mean who can argue that it wasn't an awesome show. I remember thinking how cool it would be to have a holo-imaging chamber of my own. And that little computer that Al always had. The precursor for today's PDA's. He was always smacking it around trying to get it to work.
Kinda like a Collins.
Anyway, that little trip down memory lane was spurred by the fact that as I was looking for release information for possible future series sets of the show, I found out that there are plans in the works for a Quantum Leap TV movie. Something possibly called: Quantum Leap: A Bold Leap Forward.
Normally I'd be against the idea of such a venture, because they are almost always doomed to failure... but still, it's Quantum Leap... and it's supposedly all the same writers and whatnot... and the same cast. So there's some promise... right? I just hope they don't go all George Lucas on us and CGI everything. I'll be fuckin' pissed if I see it, because it will be completely unnecessary. Just the same blue light.
Which reminds me, does anybody know if Family Guy ever spoofed Quantum Leap... i have a vague memory of that... but I'm not sure if I'm just making that up in my head.
Lastly, there is supposed to be a new Quantum Leap series coming into the works for SCI-FI. That disturbs me. Spinoffs are hardly successful, and sometimes, despite how much you like something, you should just let it stay in the past.
I rambled.
Oh, and with regards to the French Revolution... i don't remember the history entirely, but didn't that set the stage for changes in power throughout Europe for like the next hundred years? Usually the destabilization of a power such as that would cause such a ripple-effect. That was partially what the list was composed of. Each event had it's ripple effect considered. Though I suppose the Industrial Revolution probably had a bigger ripple than the French Revolution.

Wow... it's been awhile, hasn't it?
But then again, that's what happens when you don't really have a computer at home, and you can only read the board, but not post anything.
At least, I haven't decided to risk really posting anything at work... since work is a government hospital... and James can sometimes be... flammable.
A few updates, that really aren't updates because you probably all know of them already:
I got that job at the VA and I've been working their for a month... it's not too bad, work-wise, but it is a bit dull sometimes. That's the problem when you start at a new place and everyone has to assume that you are mentally handicapped. Makes sense... you wouldn't want to overwhelm a new person. Unfortunately for me, I like the feeling of being overwhelmed...
... maybe like isn't the right word. Used to
I'm also still working at Hollywood Video. Why? Well because I purposely don't want a life...
Actually, that's just cause I want to build up a store of money, and then go nuts one day. Wouldn't that be grand?
Lastly, for the moment, I'm planning to do something... though I don't know what yet... but it will be good. And big. And no, this isn't like the MegaPost. This is actually be substantive.
But now I must go... VA is paying for me to take classes so i have to go to them.
Excellent.

Few things to say quick-like here, then I have to get back to it:
1) My return: Not until August 16th now, and I return to work on August 17th. Luckily, I'll be back a few times between now and then. Looks like July 3/4 maybe, not sure yet. One other weekend I'll be back and that's it.
2) Summer break: I'm a 180-day per year employee now, so I get summers off. This summer, it worked out that I'll be up here at Pilchuck from the day after I'm done for the summer, until the day before I return. With only two breaks.
3) Pilchuck: Guess what? A year later, this place still rocks. Being here all summer rocks even more. I'll be testing the load capacity of my car when I return; I'm getting a lot of really cool stuff made so far. After this session is over, I'm free to do whatever the hell I want for almost two months. I'm the "librarian" from July 5 until August 16, which means I'll have nothing to do but make art all day. Bad-fucking-ass.
So, now I have to get back to it. There's a fire pit, fixin's for s'mores and two kegs waiting for my return.
Ciao.

Spiderman262626: and my home address is snowboy26@earthlink.net
zak p o w: so what do you want me to send it to
Spiderman262626: the first one
zak p o w: done.
yes...
at least we'll have someone in the military posting.
( cough ) ah hem ( cough )
First and foremost let me address that which I won't address : bonnie-drama.
I mean c'mon, she's a woman. Asking for women not to be dramautic is like asking shit not to attract flies. It just ain't going to happen. So, like all women-related drama, if you just ignore it - it will go away and eventually the woman will cave in on herself and everything will be fine and dandy.
Its almost formulaic.
And now something of much greater importance.
Lets talk about Eggo Waffles.
These things suck. I do not, for the life of me, understand the appeal of frozen waffles which taste like shit unless you cake tons of butter and syrup onto them. Why do people buy these things? They have absolutely no flavour - not even the ZOMG!! BLUEBERRIES have flavour. It is the equivilant of eating paper. The only thing that makes them even remotely taste like anything to do with breakfast food is the aforementioned butter and syrup which you have to literally dump onto it.
They are the ricecrackers of breakfast food. They might as well be made of tofu for all I give a shit.
Eggos are for homosexuals and losers who can't fucking make pancakes or krepes for themselves.
Fuck "let go of my eggo" - more like "oh no, its an eggo"
