Yes I will be going to the Big Apple next weekend. I am really looking forward to it.

We have reservations at the Chelsea Hotel. Which is loaded with history but the fact that Leonard Cohen wrote songs about it is enough for me to want to stay there. We have some passes to the Guggenheim, which should be cool. I mentioned watching Star Wars VI there so we can see it in digital projection. There is this guy I've exchanged emails with who lives there and says that he works at the Mag Bar of NYC and I should stop by. That is definitely a possibility.

The time we’re planning on staying in NYC is rapidly filling up. It should be a real good time.

Some friends of mine and I went to PT’s last night and The Big Show was there. I don’t know if he is really 7’4” but he is one big motherfucker. That is the only way to say it. Saying he is a real big guy just doesn’t capture the moment. When he walked through the club it was sort of amazing. All I can say is that he is one big motherfucker.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

No, I haven't seen the new Star Wars yet.

A couple of friends and I are going to New York Memorial Day and we plan on seeing it there in a theatre with digital projection. Just in case you hadn't already heard the entire movie was filmed with digital video cameras. There was no actual film used in the shooting of the movie. So supposedly the best way to watch the film is in a digital projection theatre. We shall see.

I will probably see it here when I get back but I want to see it digitally first.

Weather in this area of the country is completely fucked up. Tomorrow night when I get off of work the temperature is supposed to be 48 degrees. Right now at 3AM its 70.

Man, I’ve been reduced to talking about the weather.

I am so ashamed.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I found this page earlier today.

This Mr. Quick is a first grade teacher at Monroe Elementary School in Casey, Illinois.
To tell you the truth, I’ve seen this page before and it never occurred to me that I may want to link to it. Until today when I noticed his counter at the bottom of the page:
You are visitor number 000285 since 10/20/99

Yesterday I had about 383 unique visitors. It looks like he keeps it fairly up to date. The most recent date I could find was 4-19-02. Unless he has restarted the counter at some point and the 10/20/99 isn’t correct, it means that over the last 2 years and 7 months he has averaged only about 9 visits a month. He puts that much effort into it and almost nobody sees it.

That is sort of pitiful if you ask me. You would think the parents would be a little more interested in what there kids are doing.

Anyway, I want to try to funnel as many people as I could to his site just so he may check it in the next few days and be pleasantly surprised that people are finally taking interest.

So please go to the site. You don’t need to look around or anything unless you’re interested. I believe the counter is only on the front page. Though apparently they made green eggs and ham when they were reading some Dr. Seuss. It looked very nasty. I had never seen green eggs and ham before.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I suspect I'm fighting off the cold that has hit a bunch of my friends. I don't feel sick I and I may still avoid a serious cold but I have had this tickle in the back of my throat all day. Of course it could be just throat cancer kicking in or something. Always look on the sunny side of the street.

A friend of mine told me he thought that Freddy Got Fingered wasn't that bad. Well, it was, but it was supposed to be that bad. My response was, "So it was Tom Green's plan to make a movie so bad that he would not be allowed to make movies again?" He did mention a few scenes that were almost humorous but I still stand by my opinion of that turd-bomb.

Since when is ”turd” not a word?

If I think about it I like to put my posts through the spellchecker in MS Word. For some reason Word thinks “turd” is not a word. It knows: fuck, fucker, motherfucker, shit, cock, twat, boob, tit, bugger, butt, dickhead, faggot, and fag. But it doesn’t know: cunt, cooze, shitbag and Netscape. I’m just kidding about Netscape, but it would be funny if it didn’t recognize it.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

A while ago at work there were these two geese that were hanging out. Mostly walking around the courtyard shitting around the place and for the most part ignoring everyone unless you walked too close.

Then for the longest time I only ever saw one goose. It almost never flew around and seemed to just be hanging out by itself. If geese flew overhead, he'd just look up and watch them fly by. We started to think that he was sick or something. Well the other day I heard a rumor that there was a nest toward the back of the parking lot.

I went to investigate and sure enough there was the other goose sitting on a nest in the section of the parking lot that gets no traffic. More precisely its in a grass median in the parking lot. Apparently the landscapers have decided to leave them alone because the grass is getting kind of high. The goose on the nest was eyeballing me the whole time I drove by in my car. I didn't even get very close.

It reminded me of when Matt and I put goldfish in this big puddle/small pond that formed during the construction of the building next to ours. Its just sort of odd having "wildlife" right outside of work. Its kind of cool though.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I just watched Freddy Got Fingered starring Tom Green. I think that it is the worst movie I have seen since Mannequin 2.

I really don't know if I have the words to truly describe how awful this move is. It is so shitty that it would be like your shit if you only ate the shit of other people who also ate only shit. If it wasn't for the fact that I was also doing my laundry while I was watching it, I would say that I wish those 87 minutes I spent watching this movie never existed. I would like them to be completely erased from history but that would mean I still would have another load of laundry to do.

I was very close to being able to say that I didn't even snile throughout the entire film but about 10 minutes before the ending Tim Green's love interest in the movie said something I thought was funny. He had given her this bag of jewels because he wanted to show her that he was now rich and that he loved her and she said, "I don't want jewels... I just want to suck your cock."

I laughed... a little. If it wasn't for that one line I would not have gotten any joy at all out of this "comedy". I pray that I am never subjected to another Tom Green movie.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I've watch so much Sopranos in the last 48 hours that I think I'm starting to walk like Tony Soprano himself.

I went to Tell City to show my Mom how to use her camera. It was relatively painless. I must admit that Windows XP makes it easy to print pictures from the camera. It was slightly more difficult to explain the process of moving the pictures from her camera to the hard drive. I think she has it but I'm pretty certain I will be getting calls about it off and on for a while.

I'm hitting the sack.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
