We will bury them with their own confusion...

I'm bored, so I'm going to quote something obscure. If you can guess what this is from, good job! You get the gold star for today:

My friends, each of you is a single cell in the great body of the State. And today, that great body has purged itself of parasites. We have triumphed over the unprincipled dissemination of facts. The thugs and wreckers have been cast out. And the poisonous weeds of disinformation have been consigned to the dustbin of history. Let each and every cell rejoice! For today we celebrate the first, glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directive! We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thought is a more powerful weapon than any fleet or army on Earth! We are one people. With one will. One resolve. One cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death. And we will bury them with their own confusion! We shall prevail!

I, Spy

Look at this:




I spy with my little eye, The new Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, Risk, and Monopoly. Now when will these come out?!

Inauguration

I was talking to my cousin Amy last night about how she got to go to the Inauguration last week and she told me something I was surprised at. The tickets cost $900 to sit there and protestors paid the money to got there and complain. I don't know about anyone else, but I would never shell out that much just to whine about something. I would spend that on something fun. Complaining is really not that fun. Luckily she didn't pay because she contacted Chuck Hagel or something and it was free. And it was cool to see her pictures of the snipers stationed.

Cancel and Go

OK, I woke up to go to my 9:00 class and found Corey on the way out of Morey and he said it was cancelled. Yay! I got to sleep in a little longer and I even slept through DS9. I went to Government and then to lunch so now I'm ready to go home. Now I am well rested to drive the hour and a half. If I'm lucky, Wal-mart might have the Episode III Sneak Preview figures even though they're supposed to be out in February. But they are out in some California stores so you never know if Nebraska is a fluke.

ROTS Figures

Right after I talk about getting some, I find this. It's an Aayla Secura figure, but it shows a picture of the back and it has a pic of other EP3 action figures including Senator Mon Mothma, future leader of the Rebels, who we have not seen yet.

Also, ComingSoon! has some nasty spoilers here.

At Long Last, Happy

I have been on a mild depression for the past few days now, but I think that it is looking better already. Part of my depression was the stress over a project for SPED. Today, when we presented, Our gorup got a 100% overall and I got a 100% individually! I am so happy. As a warning to those I see in the next hours: Don't you dare kick me off of this emotional high because I am still in a position to go bipolar in a snap so don't give me any crap.

100%, Eeeeee!

Happy Birthday Supa C!

Episode III: How It Begins

Wow! Absolutely no news in forever...until now. StarWars.com has released the opening crawl text for Episode III. They also tell you how to make it and, for those good with the computer, how to make your own.

Switching to Firefox

OK, I caved. Since I'm in the habit of getting rid of official software, I decided to go for Firefox. Firefox is an Internet Explorer alternate that is safer than IE. Most viruses, spyware, adware, and etc. were designed with IE in mind. There's a lot of extensions you can add to enhance Firefox's functionality. If that's not enough, BBspot has posted a humorous Browser Showdown to compare the two.

Don't be Battlefrontin'

OK, on Sunday I was bored and playing Battlefront and I had some fun. I was playing on Tatooine: Dune Sea as the Empire as a pilot and noticed about 50 people on their side left that I had scored a lot of kills. I do admit I was in an AT-ST, but still, if I can manage 50 or more, I consider it a good game. The final tally was 95 kills with 0 deaths as evidenced by the screenshot below.


If that wasn't enough, later I played as the Republic on Tatooine: Mos Eisley and it turned into a long battle. After taking some command posts and making my typical rounds, I started to notice around the Housing that both sides were severely low on people. We just lost the Cantina when I ran over there to capture it, shot the droid, and noticed 1 vs. 3 on the scoreboard. The Workshop was flashing, telling me they're taking it. I killed the droid over there and saw another running away and got it. It's now 1 vs. 1. I have 3 command posts and the other remaining droid has 3. (By the way, they turned on Orbital Sensors so I couldn't find them at all) After moving to the next command post, I noticed that none of mine were flashing. This means, the droid was stuck somewhere. So I take the Hangar and move to the one next to it. I hear droid talk but never see anything. I start capturing it, when I notice a small brown patch. It a destroyer droid in wheel form, sitting there, not seeing me for some reason. I realize I have to kill him before he sees me and turns on his shield. I take the shots and all go in before he deploys and I win by the closest margin ever. I look at the scores and see that I have 8 command posts. That has to be a record. The screenshot shows it, barely, but trust me, it's there.

I love it when things work

I feel like a posting fool but right now, I am kicking-myself happy. Last Monday, I was really pissed off vecause things weren't working at all, but now it does. My DVD player in my laptop would skip playing DVDs and I couldn't figure it out and System Restore wasn't even working. They would skip in Windows Media Player, InterActual, and InterVideo WinDVD. And then recently, my saved videos on my external hard drive wouldn't play in full-screen mode in Windows Media Player. So I start looking at the performance settings and turned on the options to enable full-screen mode, but it didn't work. So I clicked Reset Default Settings and that worked. Not only that, but the DVDs started working again! I'm not sure how that happened and how they were changed but I don't care, I'm happy! I don't mind watching DVDs on my TV, but I like my laptop because I think the screen is comparable and with headphones it has great surround sound and the LCD screen has great quality.

Star Wars DVD Changes

Just a quick reference post: DVDAnswers has posted a while ago an accurate list of the changes to the Star Wars trilogy covering both Special Edition and 2004 DVD Release. Check them out.
Episode IV - A New Hope Changes
Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Changes
Episode VI - Return of the Jedi Changes

Also, ComingSoon has posted some more news on Revenge of the Sith including lead-in information to the movie: Star Wars Roundup - Jan. 21

This is totally wierd

OK, this morning I woke up and found a clear DVD jewel case slid under my door containing Pirates of the Caribbean, Disc 2. I first saw it and thought, "That's nice, except I already have Pirates of the Caribbean." I looked in my DVD ox for it and lo and behold, it was not there. Apparently, someone borrowed the disc and then returned it. Unfortunately, I have no idea who borrowed it or could have borrowed it. Without a roommate I keep my door locked most of the time. If anyone knows who borrowed it, I'd like to know. I appreciate them returning it and if they want the jewel case back, let me know.

Family Guy Action Figures

Apparently, this has been online a while but it's news to me. The new wave of action figures hits stores in July. They include:

• Peter in Drag (with purse, lipstick, compact case, and purple boa)


• Christobel (with easel, palette, brush, painting for Peter, Supermodel Girlfriend paper cut out)


• Joe Swanson (with 2 trophies and baseball hat)


• Jasper (with fruity drink, Chinese food carton)


• The Pope (with hat and staff)


• Mayor West (with taffy and hand with bride outfit)

Personally, I want the Adam West one because it's kooky.

Family Guy Season 4 Starts May 1

Fox has announced an official return date for the new season of Family Guy. Set your TiVo's on May 1st, 2005 at 9/8c.

Planet Family Guy has also said Fox has blurred the animated rear ends of characters on Family Guy on a recent repeat to avoid entanglements with the FCC. I love how 5 years ago, there was no problem showing a cartoon butt on Fox, but now it's nasty.

Let there be Light

Yay! I got back from Ed to find that they fixed my light! I'm so happy. I think I was so tired recently because it was always dark so my body thought it was night forever. No more of that!

Fantastic Four Trailer Online

Really nice trailer online alone with the official trailer. I like the way the story is going based on the minimal facts from the trailer.

Check it out:

Funny Things

First, I've got a link for all those who were dissatisfied with the election, BBspot has a Bush Countdown Clock for you.

Second, the Onion posted at the beginning of the year some 2004 Neologisms (new words) that I'd like to share:
ABILF - altar boy I'd like to fondle
bsiter - someone who maintains a website
degenerate - to generate material for The Ellen DeGeneres Show
iraqify - to occupy indefinitely
'pid - stupid
queueer - the line to get gay married
nex - facial tissue, derivative of Kleenex

I Love the '90s, Part Deux

I'm watching this and something comes to mind.
OK, It's probably just me, but was Star Wars in the '90s anything to anyone else?
1997: Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition - the beginning of screwing up classic movies
1999: Star Wars Episode I - the highest grossing film that never deserved it in retrospect

They never included these in I Love the '90s during the first time around, but if they don't include it now, I probably will be pissed. If anything, the prequel was HUGE! They mentioned every other film in the I Love the '70s and '80s (the first time) so why not this?

Never when you need it

Has there ever been a time when you completely disregard something you have until it's gone? My DVD player in my laptop has been skipping DVDs since Friday so I've been wanting to see several movies including: Hellboy, Robin Williams: Live on Braodway, Spider-Man 2, Family Guy Freakin' Sweet Collection, Futurama, and Star Wars Episode IV. All of these movies came to mind at different times throught the weekend. I would have played them on my PS2, but I loaned it to Amie for DDR.

Speaking of the PS2, I had an urge to play Star Wars: Battlefront again, but Brenner and Mark are gone and I like having Amie have my PS2 'cause they get a whole lot more use out of it!

So then I thought, maybe I'll play Star Trek Armada, because I haven't played that in forever. Unfortunately, I must have left the CD at home so that was gone. I played a Star Wars game that I hadn't played in forever until it stopped working.

Without the gag, I've really had no need to leave Morey so I've spent the day watching Spike's Super Star Trek Monday featuring all the crappy movies: I, III, IV, and V. I've also watched the sun go down, considering it's not hard because I still have no lights.

I will die a grizzly death.

What has happened to you, Blogger?

I was really getting happier with Blogger recently. It would update the site instantly over break, but I guess traffic has increased since then and the delay is on. Mine goes pretty fast, but it is disatrous how long it takes to update Goose's site. Over break I removed the updating link, but now I feel I must put it back in.

Just a word of wisdom: If the site is a BlogSpot site and you want to see it updated, add "index.html" at the end of the URL to see if there has been an update Blogger hasn't put up yet.

The Land of Perpetual Darkness

I think it was Tuesday at about 1:00pm when my main light in my room suddenly went out. I have been living the past few nights under the glow of a laptop LCD screen and the occasional TV with ambient light from the sink area. I got a hold of Phil, the RA, about it and he got Gordie, the custodian, to take a look at it. He replaced both bulbs and it is still not working. So now he is going to fill out a maintenance request to get it fixed. Until then, I will continue to be in other people's rooms until absolutely necessary to escape the incredible darkness that mimics my soul. Until then, natural light is my friend.

Sped Security

I typically don't poke fun at professors when it comes to technology usually because the technology is not working, but this is on exception.

In Special Ed yesterday, the teacher puts up the computer on the projector. It naturally brings up the Novell login screen and she goes, "What's this? It's never done this before." She then proceeds to turn off the Promixa, type in her password, and then when the desktop has loaded, turn the Proxima back on.

MSN Messenger 7

I downloaded the beta today. I never use MSN without Messenger Plus! but I found out there's a beta version of that for MSN 7. (If you don't know what Messenger Plus! is, it's an add-on that enhances MSN with features such as contact renaming, send sounds, contact notifications, remove the ad banner, POP3 email, and a buttload more) I always recommend Plus!


I do like it. It's come a long way in the months it's been out. The gaping security hole in the winks appear to have been resolved. There's some things that are nice such as winks and nudges, but I think I'd use them as much as I do MSN Games, rarely. I like the look of it and the ability to log in with a status. The big display pictures are nice for yourself. I am not a big fan of the fact that you need MSN Spaces, their version of blogging, to have a contact card. It just feels like another way for Microsoft to take over EVERYTHING related to computing.

I will be sticking to my Trillian, but if anyone wants to use the new MSN for a wink or something, I can switch over without hesitation, but I don't know yet if I will return to MSN. It does seem like everytime I go Trillian all the way, a new version of MSN is out that makes it feel a little obsolete.

I have to get this out

Last night I was talking to Heath in the hall and Sarah and Tammy, the AD of Morey, walk along checking the halls and they stop and notice I have no roommate. She was talking about consolidating those without roommates.

Here is my stance on moving: I already moved once this semester and I am not willing to move again. I don't mind consolidating but I feel that having a single room is a perk of having a roommate leave.

She got the feeling I didn't want to move and Heath did. This is the thing that gets me: On our floor section there are 6 or so people that have their own room, there are several vacant rooms on the floor, and no one will be transferring now because they would be in now. What the rush? I think this will fall apart but if it doesn't I will fight this crap.

First day of semester

I am so tired of walking from Morey to Connell! I went to my first class, American History II, in Connell at 9, which went well because we got out early. I went back to Morey to see DS9. I then went back to Connell for Government with Mark Leeper. That was fun. Then I went to the gag with Rhea and back to the room for a while. I then went to Brandenburg for Intro to Ed and I was so happy because Nikki was there. I finally have a class with her.

I went to Mark's room and played some Halo 2 and some Battlefront. I've noticed something about the Xbox version: the blaster pistol is worth crap. It has no rapid fire. The PS2 version has a better trigger or something I like it. The individual button of the PS2 D-pad makes it easier to give commands, too. I went to dinner with Mark and Amie stopped me about DDR so now I'm in Niehardt playing and blogging.

Tomorrow, I'm off at 9:30 to Psych in Connell...

What a day!

Moving in wasn't so bad. I luckily got a spot in Lot 9. The bookstore wasn't crowded at all either. I rearranged the room somewhat but now I have a big hole of emptiness I need to fill.

I hitched a ride to Norfolk and picked up some groceries and the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. Funny story: Amie goes to use the self checkout because she doesn't want to feel guilty about buying a Rod Stewart DVD and some macaroni and cheese and right as she touches it it screams "Please stand by. Help is on the way." and won't let her scan. She ates those things.

I then went to Niehardt and watched the Princess Diaries 2 which screams "Disney" all over it. Oh well. Rhea said, in a fight, she'd kick my face into the snow and then...I'd...eat some snow!

I am now very tired of walking and looking not at all forward to class tomorrow. Rhea was happy to know that she's in my Government class at 11. It's nice because everyone HAS to eat at 2!

Getting Ready

OK, I've got my car packed up into what I think will be 5 or 6 loads. I am going to be tired tomorrow! I want to leave at noon and/or try to get back in Wayne at 2:00. I'd like to get my books too. I also HAVE to see people I haven't seen in forever.

I haven't posted in a few days, so I just wanted to put up a quick jolt before I leave.

Going back to Trillian

I was looking through my favorites today and noticed that the icon for Trillian had changed slightly. I looked at the site and found they had a new version for free for the first time in a long time. I downloaded it and feel satisfied.

Trillian is an instant messenger that connects to AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!, and IRC to allow someone to use them all in one program. I started using it sometime in 2003 and enjoyed it until MSN 6 hit. It added display pictures, custom emoticons and other crap that Trillian wuld not support for it's free version, 0.74. I started usind MSN and Trillian for my AIM and Yahoo! until the new version of AIM came out. It drove me crazy! It kept making noise, wouldn't allow me to remove AIM Today, I couldn't stop the notifications so I said screw it. I forgot about Trillian in the process.

This new version, Trillian Basic 3, allows display pics and has some other improvements that I like. I think I will be using this until something better will inevitably appear on the scene and they decide not to update it. I recommend this program to anyone who uses more than one instant messenger program actively.

Review of "The Phantom of the Opera"

"You, you are the worst thing to happen to musical theatre since Andrew Lloyd Webber! And you, well I just plain don't like you!"

But seriously, I enjoyed this adaptation a lot. Having said that I have some gripes. There is one part during the song "Music of the Night" that the Phantom hits a very, very high note. I wanted to say, "Testicle-check! They still there?" This may be one of the reasons why critics have said the the male roles were played by how Arnold Schwartzenegger would put it best, "girlie men." I didn't really notice except for the fact that Raoul sometimes had hair neater than Christine's.

Also, the phrase "Angel of Music" came up many times that one could invent a drinking game to that phrase. Also Christine is very dumb. We've got a classic Batman mask problem with the fact that Christine and the rest of the show can barely recognize the Phantom in a different mask. On his mask, the disfiguration of his face seemed to grow or shrink depending on the mask he chose to wear.

Now I know this was a musical, but did they have to sing every little bit of dialogue for no reason? It became distracting and hard to follow.

Beyond those, this was a fantastic movie even considering it came from Joel Schumacher who brought us classics such as "Batman and Robin."

My rating: 8 out of 10
DVD-worthy: Yeah, I'd probably buy it

New Year

Well, I had a good new year. I went over to Omaha to see some of my old Common Ground buddies I hadn't seen in forever. We played some weird card games, watched Family Guy, and played Halo 2. I held my own pretty well. I was a gainst a shotgun-monger and he almost got the best of me, then I got the sword. We then went out at midnight to light off fireworks. One of them hit the nieghbor's house. Oh well. I'm not a fan of lighting fireworks so I just watched. That pretty much ended that. I had fun.

I think tomorrow I will be seeing "Phantom of the Opera" so I'll probably review it. And now I have to think about what to do with my single room. I'm not kidding, I will go ape if Jarrod Knudsen tries to make me move twice in a semester! If anyone has had or knows someone who got a single room when they paid for a double, let me know so I could use it against him if he gives me grief. Thanks.
