ok, here's the deal. I get to have some people over tommorow though with must live with some conditions. First, that if you can't make it, you'll make it up to me later, assuming we have a we're moving in party. Second, that we keep the noise under control. Third, that everybody gets the hell out of my house by 1 AM. I don't have a hell of a lot of room, so it will be rather cramped too. I also have to say, that my basement isn't the most exiting of all places. Nice for a few people, but not built to house to many. I'm sorry for this in advance. But after about ten or so, it becomes much like just sitting in corners or under a weight bench because it's the most comfortable spot left. My mom wants to take me out for dinner, so if people want to make thier presence no sooner than 8:30 please. Love me now, or love me later, it's up to you guys. I won't be upset if no one shows.

Also, it's a byob, I have a fair amount left over from the wedding party, so I can spare a little. But it's all the hard stuff. Anybody for highballs?? yeah, no really drunk people in my basement. Slightly drunk fine, but wasted no.

If you guys have planned something completly different tommorow and just haven't bothered to tell me fine, I'll live, but right now I'm just fishing for a little love and attention. I can have one day damnit!! It's my day, and none of you have school!! Consider this you guys being told. I know now that exams are over, nobody checks this board, and since it's late most of you aren't getting this until tommorow afternoon, and by then you all have better plans. I know, even better than me... I can admit that! Though never accept it. Anyhow, I now it's short, and I'm not phoning anybody, since I just can't be bothered... hmmm, I'm desperately searching for love but to lazy to try to bring it to me? I wonder about myself sometimes... Where was I?? oh yeah, try to show up, for everyone else at the very least.

Just want to say hello to all my message board bubbies.
Hope you guys are having fun!
How was ROTK?
I got to sit on a plane built for short people for 14 hours instead - i definitly got the better deal.

Have fun.

actually i think that tower was unveiled sometime over a year ago in the design competition for rebuilding the WTC site which mr. fredrick schwartz (whom did a lecture at the UofA sometime in October) said he got screwed over in- and i would tend to agree with him.
read up about it fools, there's plenty of uglier politics involved than simply the Freedom of a nation.

Today, the new Freedom Tower, the replacement for the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, was unveiled. Not only does it have a name that will no doubt remind everyone of the Freedom Fries, Freedom Toast, and Freedom Sour Grape Juice talk of the past year, but it is also planned to be the world's tallest building, measuring (get this) 1776 feet tall...

No word on how many times a day they will play the National Anthem in the lobby, but someone had better write Hubris in giant letters on the front door.

awwyea Andy, killer rhymes!

and by get your hair messed
i mean the curly cues
the ones that don't straighten

move the sucka emcees out to the country
they all readin' Rhymes for Dummies
yo that series is wack if the dummie be you
my delivery's gettin' longer than this fu manchu
but yo i don't spit that AZN represent b.s
the only one i give props to orbited the Earth-and no less
than that will i ever have respect
cause all y'all other suckas be buildin' walls
sayin' Isreal is Real, let's drop bombs fo'sho
and it's time to get busy, get that gutter mind off that floor

Ted?

Yes, today is the day after Return of the King. I have delayed the inevitable long enough to finish Star Control II. And before I leave you all, I suggest (once again) that each and every one of you download this game. Good-bye.

Yay! I finally found a place in Canada where I can get my new computer, in Toronto! I'd have to buy it piece my piece, but from the looks of it I'm saving money, relatively since most of the parts that are available in the city are about 9% cheaper over there.

But on the other hand, it's $2500 before taxes... saving mony my ass

Sorry I couldn't post yesterday, but I spent all day standing in line for the big midnight premiere. I thought getting there a day early would put me near the front of the queue, but people had been lining up all week so I was closer to the middle.

The atmosphere in line was electric: everyone was super excited and a lot of folks were in costumes and stuff. There was this one guy near the front of the line dressed like an Xtreme snowboarding pig. I don't know if he made the costume himself or rented it but, either way, it was awesome.

This is the first time I'd gone to one of these big "opening night" debuts. I really loved the first two in the series, but both times I had been content to experience them a few weeks after they had come out. But this time -- I dunno, I just couldn't wait. I really wanted to be one of the first people in the world to taste the latest addition to the line.

My enthusiasm was mostly due to the fact that the first two wildly exceeded my expectations. Like a lot of people, I was pretty apprehensive when I heard they were making the first one -- I figured they were going to completely mess up a classic. So I was totally blown away when I finally tried Mountain Dew: Code Red and discovered that it was not only faithful to the spirit of the original Mountain Dew, but actually improved upon it. I liked Code Red so much, in fact, that I was certain that the second would fall short of the standard it set. But Mountain Dew: Livewire was everything I'd hoped it would be. Sure, I wasn't wild about its finish, but what do you expect for the second installment in a trilogy?

Anyway. Last night, at exactly 12:00, they threw open the doors to the Safeway and we finally got the opportunity to purchase Mountain Dew: Porcine Glory. And my review? It was fantastic! They truly saved the best for last. All the caffeine of the original Mountain Dew in a pork-flavored soda -- genius! It didn't feel like a sequel at all; in fact, it tasted like the others in the series had been inexorably building to this wonderous, grand conclusion. This is a beverage I'll be drinking again and again!

If Porcine Glory doesn't win "Best Soft Drink" at the 2004 Thirsties it will be nothing short of a scandal. Mark my words.

If the reference to the late night premiere didn't tip you off, and, somehow, you missed the whole Pork Soda-Vegetarian mismatch, this is a good place to tell you that I didn't exactly write that blurb. That was stolen from Defective Yeti. Quite amusing, though.
