the crazies

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… the crazy guy who was writing me back when Real World Austin started filming has returned to my InBox. I’m definitely not replying to this one. Today has been too filled with other crazy peple for me to deal with it. Bleah. […]

now i’m upset

Vader was visibly upset that the final choice for rebel base expeditions had been made. ”But there are no people there!” he whined to his petite, blonde, 18 year-old companion (HERBIE: FULLY LOADED’s Lindsay Lohan). ”You’ll be okay” she assured him. Vader then took off his mask and wrapped his hand around the side of […]

reporter

In this quick deleted scene from SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, the reporters who have been watching Superman save Lois and the falling helicopter from crashing down are arguing over what just happened. I’m like: ”What’s the big deal? A man in a blue skintight suit just jumped into the air and defied gravity. A lot. Yeah, […]

roadtrip: pittsburgh 2005

This past weekend I drove to Pittsburgh with two buddies of mine. We left Friday at 1 PM and took a straight shot on the Pennsylvania Turnpike to The Iron City with no stops. My driving was only mildly scary to the passengers — which is a good thing to hear. Personally I thought I […]

feeling catty

On Superman’s first night out protecting Metropolis, he spots a cat burglar scaling the side of a tall building. This extended sequence features said burglar passing a seemingly oblivious late night worker. My bet is that Donner took this out because the suction cups are making so much noise and it’s not believable that the […]

portal

I have been going through a lot of my older disks and archiving them on my harddrive as of late. I technically have enough content from as far back as 1987 that I can backfill my blog. I’m trying to save some money so hanging out at home and totally not doing anything seems to […]

last appointment

Seeing as how I have way too much time to write about anything, I figure I’ll give you a LASIK update. I had my last appointment for the year when I was in Houston for my court appearance. They told me I didn’t have to come back until 2006. My vision is 20/15 with both […]

waiting gamesters

I’m getting used to weather delays. It’s 7:20 PM (probably eastern time) here at Bush Intercontinental Airport Terminal E. My flight is delayed. Actually, we have to wait until 8:30 PM before we can get ”more info.” I don’t know what the info is going to be, but I hope it’s worth the wait. Chew […]

on board

So, I’m sitting on the plane and typing in four point font so the guy sitting next to me cannot see anything that I’m typing. Pain in the ass. He hasn’t been so bad, but I am constantly aware of the violations he makes into My Personal Space. Right now it’s not so bad, but […]

screen test

I’m leaving Philly for Houston this afternoon. I get a whole weekend this time. Not much else to report other than a busy workweek and two serious training sessions. My weight is stuck at 168 pounds so I’m a little depressed about that, but I guess that’s still way better than the 147 pounds I […]
