accompanying the story. . . [i love the little "search full coverage" button
on the right hand side. . . ]
woo. meeting was good. traveling to and from buffalo in one day
was not. since i have much to catch up on in the office, i give you all from
andrew day at the eventual blog. that's right - all of the following links
were provided by andrew.
the story of the pig
farmer. andrew says: "There is this guy in Florida who has a pigfarm
where he plays music (country) to the pigs to soothe them. A couple of years
ago a Golf course community moved in next to his farm and is now suing
him." here's part of an interview
with the pig farmer.
andrew says: "This is cool. I think of Chad for this one. and this one.
ahh shit the whole page
looks cool." when i first looked at it, i thought it was a total recall kind of thing. but
it looks like they actually send you on these things. too weird.
speaking of total
recall, when i did the search on imdb, i found an entry for total recall 2. says it's in
production, to be released in 2001, and directed by jonathan frakes. wacky.
andrew says: "Yet another
Cam Site. this one from the Car Talk Guys looking out the office of
Dewey Cheetam and Howe. Allows motion and zoom control." hip!
The
Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business. Synopsis:
"One day an animal leaves its business on the head of a little mole, and he
sets off to find out who the culprit is, learning about the everyday habits
of a variety of animals as he does so." ok. i admit it. when andrew first
sent this one, i didn't get it. but when i went to the site, i more
carefully (more carefully? carefullier?? whatever.) read the synopsis. and
then i snarfed.
thanks also to andrew for forwarding the news that bruce campell
will not be scully's new partner next year. the
role of john doggett will be played by robert patrick of T2 fame.
in other x-files news,
the show picked up 6
emmy nominations. but none for gillian anderson or david duchovny. i do
not agree with fandom's "we got robbed" thing. the season pretty much
sucked. i admit that. in fact, i can't believe first
person shooter picked up three. ok, i guess the effects were pretty damn
cool. but still.
in even more x-files
news, the season 8 premiere doesn't air until november 8. supposedly. i
cannot find confirmation on the official site. yucko. good thing i have most
of the episodes on tape to get me through the summer. . . i am such a geek.
ok, that's it for now. need to get to work. i would guess that
there may be further updates throughout the day as i catch up here.

um. . . . what?!?
i said, what?!?!?
aspects
of american society that may be new to you.
The American Obsession with Personal Cleanliness: Most
Americans are very conscious of body odors and may seem fanatic about taking
showers, brushing their teeth, washing their hair, and using many types of
toiletries - such as deodorant, perfume and after-shave lotion - in excess.
Most Americans shower, use deodorant, and change clothes daily.
Meeting Americans: When two people are first introduced,
there is a ritual greeting. The dialogue is: "How do you do?" "Fine, thank
you. How are you?" "Fine, thanks." After the first meeting, a more formal
"Good morning," or "Good afternoon," or a less formal "Hello" or "Hi"
followed by "How are you?" is customary. The answer is usually "Fine,"
whether or not you are fine.

joel kuester has

hmm. i wonder if steve will buy this?
ok, that was mean. here's a place to buy gifts and gadgets. of
course, shipping from the uk may cost a bit. but those beer clocks are damn
cool.
ok ok. so i am a slacker today. mmmmmmmmmm bass. and now i
have to do some work, so check back later. in the meantime, go look at the

ok will the person who keeps banging around my front stairwell at
night and wakes me up please stop? thanks.
sox won
last night, putting them a
game back. i can't believe they played. it poured all night at my house.
i guess it wasn't really raining in boston.
speaking of pouring rain. . . it was really nice. i love the
sound of the rain. and then i turned off all the lights, lit a bunch of
candles, put on some jazz, and did absolutely nothing. it was great.
speaking of the sound of the rain. . . dibble can you burn me a copy of the thunder tape?
oh right- you came here for links. i almost forgot. damn- the
ones i collected yesterday have vanished. i hate it when that happens. . .
speaking of toasters. . . [how's that for a seque?] this guy must be
good
speaking of the swiffer. .
. i saw a commercial for it last night. it started with a colonel yelling at
the soldiers for not having their area clean enough. the soldiers then break
into a song and dance number about how they should have used the swiffer. i
looked on AdCritic, but they didn't
have it. it's very silly. ironic even. . .
i knew i had another star wars site to post. . . six degrees of star wars.
star wars episode ii casting update.
nooooooooOOOOOOOOooooooooo!
bruce campbell is
the worst actor ever. i do not understand how he gets cast in so many
things. i remember when i went to see congo (dont waste your money) he
was in the opening scenes. "oh. dear. god." i thought. "this is going to be
worse than i thought." luckily, he was killed within the first 10 minutes. i
almost cheered.
ooh! i had heard this as a rumor, but it appears to be finalized:
angelina jolie will play lara
croft in tomb raider.
