As for the I
I've been busy. Mad busy, haven't had time to even e-mail Michelle, which is a really bad thing, and could cause me bodily harm. So instead of sleep I decided to catch up a little on my neglect, and e-mail afore-mentioned peoples. Hopefully I'll sneak in a post or two at the grind or school, but until next time batfans, I'm outta here. 7:36 AM | Jus | # | 2 comments ...was not a waste of money, given you actually like Star Wars that is. Oh it was waaaaaaaaaay better than the first, so much so I think I'm giving it more credit than it deserves because the previous attempt was as bad as it was. Certainly episode two doesn't come close to the originals, but it sure as hell felt a lot more like Star Wars, and I've been missing that feeling for quite some time. The problems you ask? Glaring. Wooden acting by all concerned, except of course Yoda, who I must commend animators for making look and feel like the puppet of old. The love scenes, were embarrassing, they hit every cliché right on target, with a boldly stamped "PG" rating over every kiss or embrace. I also think Lucas overused 3D, and I think that's one of the reasons it alienates itself from the original films, the brilliance of the model makers have turned into the "look what I can do" of the animators. Anyway, going back to the acting, I think I can offer an explanation as to why it was delivered the way it was; the Star Wars name, franchise, legend if you will, has so much baggage and expectations that come along with it, I think the actors didn't feel loose, didn't feel like they could be real, instead maybe they felt they had to live up to the ideal, and in doing that they lost the magic of the originals. I think the first 3 films had such chemistry because those actors didn't know what they were getting themselves into, didn't feel they had anyone to please, the chemistry and charisma popped off the bloody screen, not so now, and it's a sad thing. BUT my friends, that's not to say it isn't fun, and enjoyable, because it sure is. The story was much improved and never too slow, and there are even some good bits of acting by Anakin and Padmé, but the real treat is Yoda, he literally brought down the house, and brought my ass off my chair screaming. Oh, and now we REALLY have a reason to hate Jar Jar, so you see, something for everyone! I can't wait for the next one. Hoozah! review by request =P 7:30 AM | Jus | # | 3 commentsSaturday, May 18

Holy christ, I was fucking around with the "net send" command in win2k and I accidentally sent a message to the entire school - every computer, every classroom - within two minutes the network guys were looking for me, and the cool thing is the entire class covered for me - even the teacher - but, the fuckers went to the security tapes and nabbed me, but no worries, what the hell could he say but, "never use that command again". I feel like a criminal.

If anyone deleted this file, because of this e-mail hoax that's been going around, seeing as how I will never live down the first time I fell for one of these things, I've provided the file in case anyone needs it.

buttf*cked, part 3
Thinking all my e-mail woes were over, I started Outlook again yesterday, Outlook then proceeded to dump all my local mail folders - all subdirectories for instance - into the ROOT, now, just to illustrate, I backup mail in folders in the form of 2001>Inbox, 2000>Sent Items, etc. SO when the program dumped all subdirectories into the root, it OVERWROTE MY ACTUAL Inbox, and Sent Items. Long story short, I lost all my frostbyte mail since the beginning of the year. BUT, apparently I'm not a complete moron - seeing how Outlook fucked me the day before - I immediately made a backup copy of all my folders on CD after I sorted out the first problem, so I only ended up losing a day's worth of e-mail. I am now looking for a NEW mail client, ANY suggestions?! 1:55 PM | Jus | # | 2 commentsThursday, May 9

After two and a half years of waiting in lines the length of a couple blue whales strung together, the school has finally moved to on-line registration, one of the most painless things I've ever had to deal with, hoozah.
I saw a play called "the boys next door" today, for theatre appreciation class, it dealt with mentally challenged room-mates and their everyday struggles, it was mostly funny, with the obvious message behind it. It was held in a pretty dinky theatre (not even sure if it classified as a theatre), but at least I could SEE the actors, unlike "mama mia" where I could barely see the stage. So, now I've got 4 more things to do before I get no sleep, so let's get to it... 1:45 AM | Jus | # | 1 commentSaturday, May 4
Well, I finally decided to trim the excess fat off the page, next step is to make it validate properly, I killed the quotes, the ability to move the projects window (it was like 50 lines of script for a lame effect), and I reduced the random images to 2, cleaned up the code and combined as much crap as I could possibly combine.
Now, I will find something else to do so I don't do my assignments. Michelle... needs some advice. 9:48 PM | Jus | # | 2 comments

I fucked up my php handler on the site, hopefully it'll be fixed in a day or so, I at least got the pages to come up now, so this is how it'll have to stay until I get this damn thing fixed.
Fuck. 5:01 AM | Jus | # | 2 comments
should I be putting titles to these things?
I just got a massive amount of songs from a band called "the magnetic fields", and damn, I like it. It's just so damn good. I've taken a few days off from my slave labour gig, and I feel like such a bum, it's wonderful. Sadly I'll be back to the grind Thursday, damn I needs to get me some Spider-Man tickets tomorrow, fuck. Not that I think the movie'll be any good, I mean, what am I, a moron? It's gonna lick monkey balls like every other attempt, but my brother Vaughn's coming in the day it opens, and well, he's more forgiving than I am. Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure Episode II is gonna be just another excuse for them to make even more crappy toys that stay on the shelves until they drop to 1.99. Attack of the clones? Attack on the memory of classic Star Wars fans is more like it, but you know what, I HOPE I'm bloody wrong, because hypocritical me, I still love it, jar jar and all. Hey, what do I have to do, put up a sign? Text message the damn cell already, I'm really bored during the day, fuck, I need some entertainment, what the hell do I pay you people for anyway? So I've just put off sleep to watch Six Feet Under, Columbo, and Dennis Miller Live, what can I say, it sure beats waiting to fall asleep alone. Hey, I've got a question for all my Trini brethren, remember when we were young they had this calypso video, I think it was by Sparrow, in black and white with him in a grave yard, getting attacked by all the zombies, WHAT'S THE NAME OF THAT BLOODY song, I need my old calypso damnit. I've been going crazy downloading that and parang, hell YEAH Daisy Voisin, you rock my chak chaks. I hope I've providing minutes of enjoyable departure from whatever the hell you were doing before, but I ask you... How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat? 3:45 AM | Jus | # | 5 comments |
