Me so sleepy... I got a haircut! Yep after a 5 month hiatus from the chair I decided it was long enough. My guy kicks ass, so if any of you are looking for someone new, go to Art of Hair on Richmond right accros from Cabo and all that... ask for Roger he is part owner. Anyway I feel lighter on my feet now. Speaking of feet my damn toe is still hurting, it better get sorted out before my cruise damn it!
While China has yet to put a man in space, they do have reservation on the Moon... yea right
WTF is that smell!!!! 3 Stench Ridden Days... ... this reminds me of a similar thing that happened to me.
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, myself and a roomate rented an apartment. Let's see two 20 something guys, I'd say things didn't stay real clean in this apartment. Anyway one day there comes a smell... it's bad too. I thought it must be a dead mouse or something in the vent, you could really smell it when the AC was blowing. After a few days of this we complained to the manager. They sent someone to the roof to check for slime in the AC pans and they looked in the vents, nothing. After a week it's really pretty rank but we are starting to get used to it. I asked my downstairs neighbor and they to are smelling this yuk! Well after 7 or 8 days I venture in to the kitchen, as you do, and I noticed a little ziplock on top of the fridge... hmmm there seems to be chicken in this bag... it's not frozen, I wonder if this could be what's smelling up the place... sniff sniff sniff, nah nothing E just left this out when he was getting something from the freezer... maybe I should open the zippBLAM!!!!! Let me tell you, you know that scene at the end of Indiana Jones where all the shit came out of the Ark and flew around melting everone! That's what came out of this baggie... I crumpled to my knees, I saw white light, I thought I was gonna die! My nose hair eventualy grew back... neither of us knows how it got up there, it was probably me.
oh man I can't go on after reliving that... i.am.sam
Well I have seen AOTC twice now and I'm ready to go again! Go back and read my Saturday, January 26, 2002 entry to see how much I loved Star Wars... I have to tell you, I have the itch again. I found myself feeling giddy today as I opened my new Clone Trooper action figure and set him next to my Artoo and Darth Maul figures at my computer. I find myself wanting to buy toys, for Dade, so I can play with them. I hope he finds the magic and wonderment in the movies that I have and that I feel right now. I also inquired about a working version of an OB1 EP1 saber today, I hope there are some left! As I have said for the last few blogs I loved AOTC and I am going to end up seeing it a few more times if for nothing else just to prolong my high!
BTW AOTC is doing very good in the box office too!
I know many of have often asked yourselves what would happen if I popped a water balloon in space? Find out!
Did you know the next version of The Matrix is coming soon... see for yourself... I think there may be two back to back!
Speaking of movies ... the word on the street is that Blade is going to be a 13 episode series on HBO, complete with Wesley Snipes as Blade! I can't wait!
In the latest round of my console is cheaper... Nintendo drops the Gamecube price to $150... last week it was XBox to $199 and PS2 to $199 ... I smell a war... yea!
The X-Files is over and no I have not seen the final episode due to the Survivor show last night but hey, that is why I have a Tivo! Anyway if you saw it and need to see the timeline of what went down over the whole series (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST EPISODE)check here.
I went to see AOTC today. Six of us went from work. I do not want to ruin it for anyone, but let me say I did not blink the last 45 minutes... oh yea and I am now in love with Natalie Portman... yeow! She grew up a bit... oh yea and Yoda is the shit!
What shall I start with... hmmm it seems to me that AOTC has gotten slammed by the critics... not true... Time does not think it's bad, neither did USA Today. I think that when a movie has this much hype people are going to go in expecting it to wipe thier ass for them. It is what it is, I liked it, hell I loved it! So for all of you who would rather tell me the critics hated it than go and see for yourself, keep it to yourself. Your wasting your breath on me, I've already made up my mind.
I already have a Skywalker ANH saber and a Vader ANH saber. If you'd like one of your own go to Master Replicas, they make very good replicas of some of the sabers and weapons in Star Wars. Of course all true Jedi build thier own sabers.
If you'd like to build your own props, I'd recomend a board like Prop Planet or A.S.A.P. ... I think, I must be crazy, I want to make a pilot clone costume... to fine! If you'd like to build R2 then I'd suggest Droidboy. I want one!
Wow what a couple of days it's been... I had a late meeting yesterday so I missed the whole blog thing sorry... Today I'm late as hell but whatever... I started to go to see Star Wars at the midnight showing last night but the internet had the listing wrong! It turns out it's tonight so I guess I'll just wait now. I think a bunch of us will go and see it tomorrow at lunch. Cool! Anyway how about a link or two...
Remember the article about how some CD protection schemes were actually damaging Apple hardware? I mean physicaly breaking it! Well it turns out that the protection is pretty easy to break with some magic markers and some sticky notes... read about it here.

I have not recovered yet so this ought to be short. I must get it together before tomorrow since I am planning on going to the midnight showing of AOTC.
A friend of mine L sent me a bunch of different listings, all of them good so here we go! For that gangsta in all of us
Well last night was just great... at 3:30 the alarm clock next door to our room started going off and did not stop until 5:30... I was awake but I thought if I call the front desk and wake everyone then they can't do anything about it we all have to lay there and listen so I just sucked it up and stared at the ceiling. Time for a long drive home... we started out the at the Zuni Grill, on the Riverwalk, for breakfast. Once again we hit a home run, is there a bad restaurant in S.A.? After that we visited the Alamo. It was very humbling to see this place and realize what had actualy happened there. Gentlemen were asked to remove thier hats and once inside you could see why... we only spent a few minutes inside but it was ...inspiring. After that I took Dade to Ripley's Believe It or Not where we saw an animatronic dinosaur and some other stuff that scared the poo out of him, checked out of the hotel and headed to the SAS outlet store.(SAS = San Antonio Shoes) Oops! Closed on Sundays! On the way back to Baytown we decided to go to Katy Mills Mall. We had never been there and damn we have got to go back, way to much for the short stop we had there. On to Baytown and now back home ... I am pooped! Where is my bed!
i.am.sam
Looooong day today! Whew! We got up this moring bright and early and got breakfast at Starbucks, on the Riverwalk. Next we headed to Sea World. As usual the shows were great, and funny! and the rides were good too. Dade was ready to ride the Steel Eel but he needs to grow a few more inches. Four years old and already a daredevil and a half! He did ride the Texas Splashdown and the Rio Loco(got soaked) and was one worn out puppy when we got done!
When we got back to the Hotel there was a prom going on in the hotel. I think we got the last 2 parking spaces in the garage! Yikes! I took Dade swimming on the roof for a bit and then we got ready for dinner. Kim and Dale did thier own thing this night while the other 6 ate at Manduca on the Riverwalk... very good food!!!! After that it was late and since Dade was falling asleep at the table we decided to head on back to the room. Mom and Dad took a stroll and we started back, until we saw the Hagen Das shop! Of course the door was locked 2 hours and 10 minutes before the sign on the door said they would close! DAMN IT! So it's back to the hotel, oh wait! There is a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory! Angie decides to get ice cream from them... while I'm waiting Janet and I accidentaly try a sample of the fudge! Big mistake! Janet ended up buying 3 chuncks of fudge for us... it was damn good to! Oh well off to bed... i.am.samu
As we do every Mothers Day we take a driving weekend trip somewhere. My mom and Dad, Angie's Mom, My sister and Dale, and of course the three of us go every year! This year we went to Sea World. I Pricelined a hotel room on the Riverwalk. We are staying at the Hyatt right here dead center of the best part of the river... way cool. As I look out of my window I see the Alamo, yes the actual Alamo. That means where my room is standing many years ago men were fighting and dieing for the GREAT state of Texas. Once we got here we went out on a little walk over to the Alamo but it was already closed for the day. So went down one leg of the Riverwalk and ended up at Landry's Seafood. After an hour wait we got seated and, as usual, the food was awesome. At this point it had been a long day and Dade was tired so went back to the room and crashed. We have an early day tomorrow! i.am.a.proud.Texan
