Deep Throat unmasked. So it was the FBI who helped bring down Nixon. Huh.

I'm back, bitches! Time to go to work full-time again, starting June 6th. New role for me, but one I think I'm more than capable of handling. Can't say much about it right now, but it'll be good to be a full-time, salaried stiff again...

I'm not sure which side of this argument I fall on, but I'm pretty sure I support the man, as weird as it is...

Man arrested for wearing mask in public

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Viagra can cause blindness, apparently.

Does anyone else hear a whole generation of elderly mothers saying, "I told you if you did that, you'd go blind!!!"

*falls off her chair laughing*

Son of a BEYATCH! That poster went for $130. *shock, awe and disgust all rolled into one.

The season finale of House last night reminded me how much I love this song...

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Choir:
I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was, footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you might find
You get what you need

Oh yea-ay (hey-hey-hey, oooh)

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singin', 'We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse'
Sing it to me, now

(You can't always get what you want)
(You can't always get what you want)
(You can't always get what you want)
But if you try sometimes, well you just might find
You get what you need
Ooh baby, yeah, ooh

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standin' in line with Mr. Jimmy
A-man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was 'dead'
I said to him

(You can't always get what you want) well no!
(You can't always get what you want) tell ya baby
(You can't always get what you want) no
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, mmm!
Mmm! you get what you need
Ooh yes! Woo!

(Instrumental & choir) Ooow-ooh!

You get what you need
Yeah!
Ooow, babe!
Ooh, yeah

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands
Say it!

(You can't always get what you want) yeah!
(You can't always get a-what you want) ooo-yeah, baby!
(You can't always get a-what you want)
But if you try sometime, you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

Ooh, yeah!
Ooh, baby!
Woo!

Ah, you can't always get a-what you want
No, no baby

You can't always get a-what you want
Tellin' you right now

You can't always get what you want, mmm!
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find, that ya
Get what you need
Oooh, yeah!

I'm tellin' the truth, babe

Ooow-ooh!
Ooow-ooh!
Ooow-ooh!........
(Instrumental & choir to end fade)

And so E3 is over and so is the picture taking. Below is the link for all the images I have taken at E3. However all of the images have been sized down from their average 2MB file sizes. If you like something or want the high resolution images just let me know (post your e-mail) and I'll send you the link to the high resolution set (will be uploading those for the next 2 hours).

I am Queen of Monkeys and Egg Rolls! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Ian: More, if they can't get it out again!

Ian: Then I'll pee in your car.

"And you Gyriate..."
-Erich

Erich reporting here...

From the morning of DAY 2, E3.

QUOTE - (IAN) So you know you are not suppose to swallow that right?
(IAN) Mine has faster gyration!

So while the boys were at E3 taking each other's clothes off while wrapping, I went to my Aunt's (by marriage) father's funeral, which was two blocks from Meg's and Ian's place, saw my recently engaged cousin, got a call from Megan asking what the deal was with the move and the shopping at IKEA, told her I had JUST been by her apartment and asked if she wanted to meet my mother and I at IKEA to do the four hour scouting trip prior to the one hour shopping frenzy. Cinnamon Buns were had. It was good.

So to sum up, boys: electronics. girls: scouting for potential redecorating.

And while you're down there, boys, can you liberate a PS3? I may need a new toaster.

Ian: Erich, I want you over here wrapping!

I will plow you until you are dead twice.
-Cliff

So, the first brief report from E3 -- we've seen some games that looked good, we've seen some okay games, we've listened to Richard Dean Anderson talk, we've gotten lunch, we've found Dave, we've seen Xbox 360 (meh), we've not yet found the Monkey, we're goign to head back shortly, but I'm posted from the lunch cafe we hit...

More coming tonight.

Things said/heard at/on the way to E3, part 1:
Ian: "Quick, give me something else to do for money!"
Erich: "Ian, do me a favor since you've got your clothes on..."

I just realized it's been some time since I posted here. Huh. Funny thing that.

Damn, finals suck.

To Keith and Cliff: If either of you still have the copies of City of Heroes I gave you at SDCC and don't want them, I know a friend of mine wants them--bring it to E3, and I'll find it a good home.

Thanks!

God seriously does have a sense of humor.

Because I'm positive that watching me attempt to mow the lawn would send anyone into fits of laughter. >_<

The spam folder in my Yahoo Mail account adds a certain touch of excitement and intrigue to my life at 1 AM. Ranging from regarding/response ("RE:") emails from people I have never heard of much less spoken to lately, up to cryptic advertisements for porn. Yes, I know the message titled "Searching For Men" has been sent to me to alert me to the benefits of gay porn, yet in my current state of semi-awareness my imagination tries to inform me the same subject title means someone is trying to desperately recruit space marines to go fight invading aliens in the fringes of known space (plus they can provide means to get there!), or some Cyber-Punk mercenary hiring. Not to mention the thousands of emails with misleading titles trying to trick me into believing it was actually an old friend alerting me to a new event or special offer, being half awake this manages to partially convince me I HAVE that many friends in the first place, or that large companies want to give me outlandish prizes - such as paying my grocery bill for a year. Of course I still don't make the mistake of viewing any of these messages, but at the right time of night my junk mail convinces me I am the most spectacular and important person on the face of the planet, much less make my normal inbox seem downright dull.

It would appear based on the shenanigans going on earlier that some folks might need a quick lesson on how television shows work. Just because a show gets canceled does not mean it was a bad show. It could have been the best show ever and still get canned. Here is a few examples how.

Sci-Fi, Jim Henson Studio creates Farscape. This big budget (well done) show was on for two complete seasons before anyone even figured out what was going on. It ran in the same time slot as an already well established series. I forget what one it was ER or Law and Order or something. The problem is... if you are busy watching a show you already knew about a slip like this can happen. Basically, television shows are a vehicle to make you sit down and watch commercials. If people aren't watching, you can't sell advertisements and you can't make money.

Farscape cost millions each episode to create and SciFi took huge losses the first two seasons to make it. By the time it grew into a frenzied fan base they weren't able to offset all the money they lost in the first two seasons. Eventually it became to expensive to make vs the income coming in. ~canceled. The fan base was in such an uproar they actually brought it back to put closure on the series, again at a loss. Originally the series just abruptly stopped.

Firefly was the same thing. A victim of poor timing. It was up against some pretty heavy hitters in the time slot it was in. Not to mention it just came out at a time people weren't ready to see that sort of thing on prime-time. Fast forward to now, basic cable television is different and you can show/do a lot more. Space operas, like Battlestar Galactica and Farscape (reruns) are now coming into full swing in popularity. So after this Serenity movie. I wouldn't be surprised if the show launched again in another form to success. People will know about it this time around, after all the buzz, and the network executives will be able to sell advertising space.

Whoopy! So that's how a good show can get canceled. Also a good example of how shows that are complete ass tend to stay on the air..... Stupid Nielson ratings.

Projectile Sodomy and Space Pancakes.

So it's good to know that when I go to my parent's house somethings never change. I got here about 12:45AM, my Mom's asleep and my Dad is not only up, but watching a film with an alpha male star (this time it's Tom Selleck in "Her Alibi"). Most of the time it's either a Bond film or "Kindergarten Cop". But true to form, he says "That's a stunt double" during any remotely action-oriented sequence.

He can also tell the twins who play Dominic in "Kindergarten Cop" apart.

And people wonder why I call him Vader. It's because he has the DEEP VOICE and he's scary. In more ways than one.

I never saw "Firefly", but the Serenity movie does look like it's right up my alley. Someone needs to lend me the Firefly DvDs O.o

In order:

Kris: I heard about it before, but it's not my thing, so I didn't pay too much attention. But it's supposed to be interesting. Two guys from Shaun of the Dead are supposed to have cameos. ^_^

Sherrie: Could be worse... could be Sears. *shudder* Good luck anyways though. ^_^

And now for the giddy happiness of the day:

SERENITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's soooooo gooooooodddd.....

*drool*

THE LAND OF THE DEAD! YIPPY! :D

...of course you guys being cool and all probably already knew that.

I have a job at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
I'm so F*^*ing excited.
