Closing music … “Candlelight”
So close.
Does Faith show up again after season 3? Cuz Eliza wasn’t at all convincing as the troubled bad girl in s3.
*snaps bubblegum* Yo, B, wassup?
Pshaw.
Sorry EssBee, don’t hurt me EssBee =P
Powergirl and her two fists of fury.

Er.
Gary Coleman deathwatch going on
Whatcha you talking about Lo Pan.
NS, yes she does, and in Angel.
Gary Coleman? He’s got to be a substance abuser.
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20389489,00.html
Poor guy . . .
CP: Come Here — 54-40
Lo Pan: That sucks.
Gary….gary…..gary…. oh gary..
ditto i bought mmy first 54-40 album 10 years ago. they were hard to find back then
Gary Coleman has had kidney problems ever since he was on Diff’rent Strokes
Lo Pan: That’s one advantage to being Canadian. I’ve been listening to them since the mid ’80s. I have about 7 of their albums. Being in the US, it’s really hard to keep track of them, but I try to keep up.
CP: Dead Girls Are Easy — The 69 Eyes
CP: Repo Man
again Reaper <—– Late to the party
CP: First Drink of the Day — 7 Seconds of Love
Yep, now isn’t the time for 80′s stars. I need to dig up the Ooklah the Mok track “A.M. Suicide” about Gary Coleman.
I hate conference calls over lunch.
CP: 23 — Blonde Redhead
Ah the working lunch. I hate those too.
off to see Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant at the flicks…I’ve seen far too many Nicholas Cage films recently.
Sorry for the lack of email reply in the past 2 days. This shit has fucked me up.
I do feel better today – somewhat. Not quite superstar, but I’m off now to go pretend. Have a good day,
You are our ‘Superstar’ Jack!
ghetto superstar?
Wasn’t that a Deadpan Purple song?
you fucking assholes:
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3179525&cmpid=0101
I don’t think I can count the number of hours I spent playing Starcraft over a local network. I even played over modem. IMHO Starcraft was one of the best games ever made and the ability to do a “Spawn install” is one of the things that made it so awesome.
I just heard http://www.culvers.com/ is expanding to AZ. Enjoy all who live down there. They make very good relatively fast food burgers.
So Jack is one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater?
Hey, all you iPod Touch/Iphone people.
I have a question (Not being initiated myself).
Are there apps out there that allow you to connect to another iPod Touch/iPhone through the internal wifi?
Also, are you able to share your screen views with another iPod Touch/iPhone this way?
lost in 3 minutes:

ya that is about right. and he isn’t a dick about it.
Given the way Lost ended, I’m glad I stopped watching. Yes, I know it is more about the journey, but one of my major objections was about how I felt the writers and especially the producers were jerking my chain. Had they not felt the need to spread disinformation regarding the show, I might have ended up feeling different about the show.
That being said, I still might catch up.
CP: Cloudbusting — Kate Bush
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRHA9W-zExQ
Great video to go with a great song.
I tend to be a person who likes stuff. I don’t really like dumping on thing. Call it a good trait or a personality flaw doesn’t matter to me. But I invested my time and I was entertained. I don’t feel jipped because that was the point.
But take that with a grain of salt, I like CSI because I can also turn my brain off for short periods of time. I might have liked Hero’s and I have heard that got silly.
I think you may like it, ditto, without all the noise and media hype.
Kate reminds me of TEB in the video. :)
reaper: I don’t like dumping on things either. But I spend a good portion of my time on line and, early on, there was no way to avoid the Lost propaganda machine. The producers deliberately lied about stuff. And it really pissed me off.
Now that things have died down, I think EssBee is right: I probably would like it.
Re Gary Coleman
Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank says life support was terminated and Coleman died at 12:05 p.m. MDT.
He was 42.
What did they lie about? Just curious cause I read none of that stuff.
For instance:
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Purgatory_%28debunked_theory%29
Methinks Diff’rent Strokes be cursed.
There are more cases.
Lo Pan: I agree. Different Strokes certainly seems to have been cursed.
And on a lighter note…
Ooopsie!
http://failblog.org/2010/05/28/take-down-fail/
Thats not true tho, ditto. They didnt lie about that. What they said was the truth.
Its hard to splain to you why without spoiling for peeps here.
ditto, I also have a remarkable ability to ignore hype and advertisements. I didn’t have cable till I had a TiVo so that kind of thing never really got me. I actually started watching Lost when ABC made all the back shows free+ adds. if you make it easy to watch I am more likely to watch.
To me the more important statement was “I tend to be a person who likes stuff.”
why did i have to move:
http://failblog.org/2010/05/28/seattle-mariners/
I love failblog.
Lo Pan: I watched up to the break in season 3. I can’t really dig up all the examples, but it was my impression that the producers were actively involved in keeping fans guessing by spreading disinformation. I found it insulting. So, I decided I wasn’t going to wait around for answers that might never come. I’ve enjoyed many other series in the meantime, “Life” in particular.
I’ve never claimed Lost was a bad show–I hope you understand that–only that certain aspects of it drove me away. I have far too much stress in my life, I don’t need more from my entertainment.
CP: New Fang — Them Crooked Vultures
Well, guys and girls, I’m headed to my folks’ with Sly B in a bit. If I don’t check in, please have a great holiday weekend in the U.S., and a great regular weekend everywhere else. If you’re partying, don’t drive for me.
Oh no Im not trying to hop on their side…. I;m just saying that that one specific example – a big one – was not one that was a lie. I dunno bout others cause like I said I stay away from the that stuff.

+’
ditto, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Life. Pretty girl.
Happy and safe travels EssBee!
Have fun storming the castle!
Lo Pan: No Problem
EssBee: have a great weekend.
And Sarah Shahi is fucking hot. Wonderful fan service in that show. :)
Yes. I even have a season of The L Word on DVD thanks to her. She gets nakeder in that show for those who might be interested.
*swoooooon*
never thought of it that way:

One final thing about Lost and then I’ll shut up: during the first few seasons, I was not trolling the net looking for spoilers or secret information. I really do like to have a show tell itself. But at that time, it was practically impossible to not stumble across stuff, especially if you get most of your news online like I do. Lost was everywhere.
For example, this 2006 article from USA Today:
http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-05-09-lost_x.htm
ditto: I agree. I want to see shows as they where meant to be. I do like analysis just not spoilers.
The following Nipple contains a spoiler:
At the end of Star Wars: A New Hope, they ran the credits.
If you ever had to present data as part of your job, here’s a great survey of techniques:

This nipple is a lie
It’s Friday. I don’t work Monday.
I have things to do tomorrow, but I’m not sure what I’ll end up doing.
I’m on call all next week for Jury duty.
Really?

fucking
The lie concerning this nipple is self evident. The truth about this nipple is engorged.
That is a bloody lie? ;)
I guess I broke the
Gears… Need gears to repair the pan… and steam power… and a dirigible…
And LaZERs.
FRICKIN’ LAZERS, tied to Sharks!
Or, you know… Mutated Sea Bass…
Hey, hockey fans, I have a question:
I’ve decided that I do want to sing this “Vancouver Anthem” (one of the two songs we associated with the Vancouver Canucks), but I can’t find it on YouTube, or any specific references to it anywhere else. Does anyone know where I can find a recording of it?
Sorry I missed you at the con tonite, Jack. Hope you are feeling better and I’ll bump into you Sunday.
CJ: Can I borrow that mic that makes me sound like Danthol? kthxbai ;p
Cj has collapsed in a post-day-2-of-phxcomicon heap and cannot take your call right now……………………..
*thud*
Looking forward to phxcomicon today! I’ve got some things to do this morning, then my son and I will be heading out this afternoon. Then I’m coming back to the house to eat, then back out to the con late for some Star Trek infused Rock Band. \m/ !!! Hopefully I’ll see Jack this weekend.
Amy: Try this:

Have fun at the con guys.
Off to see this woman in concert:

No Con for me today. Off to rescue good from evil.
Enjoy!
Reaper – I feel your pain about no LAN for SC2.
I have a group at work that I play games with on the company network at lunch (unofficially sanctioned – you don’t talk about fight club).
We’ve found ourselves unable to move on to current games thanks to the growing requirements to hit the internet no matter what and the inability to host a local sever and play just on the LAN.
Consoles have ruined gaming. No offense to the console gamers.
I went out last night with my wife and daughter. Our son went to a parents night out….my daughter’s age group didn’t have any open slots.
Anyway, we went to see “Prince of Persia”. Reviews have been pretty weak. It wasn’t a terrible movie and had a good bit of fun. But, I do think it dragged out too much and the ending was rather unfortunate.
But, did get to see some previews for the summer that look pretty promising.
A-Team: This one looks like it has a pretty good chance.
Sorcerer’s Apprentice: Nicholas Cage as a wizard in the modern world. This ain’t no Harry Dresden. Still, looks like it will be fun.
The Last Airbender: Despite having Shamalamadingdong, it looks like it will stick closely enough to the excellent animated series to be a good one.
And, still coming in December – TRON Legacy……I still a cool shiver whenever that trailer shows up. The movie had damn well better deliver on the potential that the trailer promises.
So far the Memorial Day weekend has had a trip to the park. The “Orange Park” according to Fox as the roof on top of the slides is orange. Fox enjoyed slides and swings. Iris did some slides but she liked the swing best. Tomorrow a trip down to Grandma & Grandpa’s will feature prominently, as Auntie Diana and Auntie Jamie are to be visiting.
…and it’s goodbye to Dennis Hopper:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment_and_arts/10191448.stm
That one’s a surprise. So, who will be number 3?
We’ve gone past 3 if you count the deaths of members in metal bands.
CP: Dropkick Murphys – The Rocky Road to Dublin (Album Version)
Thanks to Wolf.
So that’s where I’ve been going wrong:
http://www.wired.com/underwire/2010/05/alt-text-nice-guys-guide/
CP: How to Destroy Angels: A Drowning
I’m not sure why I am surprised I like this. It’s a Reznor project after all.
ditto: Thanks for the info! :)

Oh, my beloved computer… yes, how I have missed you and the
this crazy weekend.
I have some major catching up to do.
Rhettro: You luck dog. :)
Great wedding today. My feet are killing me.
That is all.
The luck dog does smile on Rhettro every once in a while.
I was surprised to see you there today, Rhett! I didn’t know you had a date with Felicia Day. (or maybe just her avatar?)
Fun day morning at the Con. . . And my little ones finally got to meet the Mighty Mommy.
Morning Pan!
Got ambitious yesterday and did some baking. Made cookies and muffins. Yum.
Personally, if I did something that dumb I would be too embarssed to sue:
http://i.engadget.com/2010/05/31/utah-woman-sues-google-after-walking-directions-lead-her-to-a-hi/
Even if she decided to follow the directions. That doesn’t mean she couldn’t look around her and still watch for traffic. Seriously, did the directions say, “look at this screen. No need to see what’s around you. All that matters, is this screen.”
*sigh*
I wish it would stop raining. I’m tired of the giant mud pit that is currently my front yard.

Some Monday’s are better than others.
My kitty was sick. I tried to get her to clean up the mess herself but she just wasn’t going for it.
Morning.. time for some coffee.
NOMAD coming home?
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/28/object_2010_kq/
Mmm, coffee. I’m going to need that for the long day of studying ahead of me.
2^8th to post!
I’m going for V’GER
Happy US Mem Day, mofos.
It is a day of great change:

The evil Ed has returned to the alternate universe.
For now, maybe he’ll come back again someday.
Now you’re going to have to shave every day. Personally I’m far to lazy for that.
Who is that baby-faced engineer and what did he do with Ed? ;)
I actually had to shave just about everyday anyway to keep my cheeks and neck clean. What I saved in real estate was largely offset by precision edging, so it was never really about saving time.
I hadn’t appreciated how much of an insulator it was until it was gone.
You’re supposed to keep your beard until the playoffs are finished!
Home sweet home.
I had fun at the con. It was tiring and a lot of work, but totally worth it. Probably lost 5lbs.
Highlight of the weekend – definitely meeting Jack’s kids.
O HAI!
I have a question…
I lost something? I have to sing something?
Someone tell me what I’m supposed to sing – Montreal something?
Looking it up would be … well… hmmm maybe I should just re-listen to the last four shows. That’d be more fun right?
There are things I want to order online…
It’s almost 2am – where is my credit card!!
Somebody stop me! I’m going on a shopping spreeeeeeee….
wheeeeee!
Even when it is a Tuesday, Monday sucks.
New online scifi fiction magazine has went live:
http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/
Well, at least it’s a short week ahead.
Alas not for me, I’m working Saturday.
Morning Pan!
Wow, I think the sun might actually show itself today.
I had to work yesterday, so no four day work week for me.
morning pan,
I agree for the most part:
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/email_address
Mine isn’t any of those, reaper. What does that say about me?
Bunny, Not sure, The Oatmeal doesn’t address that situation. Everything I know I learned from graphs and charts I find on the internet.
There’s an internet?
Bunny, According to a chart someone printed out for my about 15 years ago there is. It was something like this:
% of people who know about the internet 15%
% of people who don’t know about the internet 45%
% of people who think Comuserver/AOL is the internet 40%
I spent Sunday hiking with my old man, and he was telling me about the hypersonic deal, and I thought about you, ditto. I had no idea this stuff was going on.
Wedding was in some obscure state, New Jersey, I think it was. Never heard of it. It was all really over-the-top. But at least the booze was flowing, so it had fun parts. The only parts that weren’t over-the-top was the fact there was only one bride & one groom, and we weren’t air-lifted to some five-star hotel in Dubai. Really a bit much for my tastes.
En route to said state, we stopped at the Bronx Zoo. Really enjoyed that. I think that’s all the “really”s I can offer right now, really.
Yesterday was “holy-crap-no-magic-ghost-has-maintained-the-house-while-we-were-gone-and-it’s-a-friggin’-disaster”-day.
reaper: re: e-mail addys: I find that eerily accurate.
Exhausted buy happy after the wedding this weekend. My knee is killing me. I haven’t had to stand for that long in a long time. Then again, doing the Twist is probably what did it in. :)
Need to work on my Chi song since I had no time over the weekend.
reaper: very true graphic, though it doesn’t reflect TEB’s address.
So, is it a bad time to point out there are 205 shopping days until Christmas? ;)
*runs and hides*
I collect addys, so I can wear different hats.
Me too :)

Though I’m an atheist, I love Xmas. That being said, I’m dreading the work of opening the pool. <=== Seasonal juxtaposition.
Thanks for the link, ditto.
I refuse to think about Christmas until after July.
CP: Phantom Chop — The Von Drats
Nice surf guitar.
I do the same.
The one situation he doesn’t cover is the @MyISP.XYZ
But that one is a wild card.
Well judging from the weather so far, winter can’t come soon enough.
/wishing my life away to the tune of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
Or johnnynull@archlinux.com/ubuntu.com .
Love the Four Seasons. I have to plug Gustav Holst’s “Planets”.
CPIMM: Mars – Gustav Holst
Love it.
Morning Pan. Last night, I finished the last final exam that was officially part of the class I was taking, so today feels like the first day of summer vacation.
I think my “classic” collection wholly consists of 1812 and Holst’s Planets. Cannons, church bells, and a tour of the solar system… what more could one want?
The Four Seasons – is classic.
