The rematch

which Episode II character are you?



Yoda. Jedi Master. Your word is pretty much gospel, as far as others are concerned. You stick to your roots and have a good head on your shoulders. You can always provide a good response to those in need of answers, or those who just want to talk. You may not look tough, but inside you've got more power than the majoirty of people.





You're Leonardo!

You're the undisputed leader in any situation, strong and smart. You take your ninja craft VERY seriously, sometimes to the annoyance of the rest of the gang. You are loyal and sincere, and dislike chaos and disorder. You are very close to your family and like nothing better than sharing a pizza with them after a hard day.

I'm going to see Episode 2 tonight or tomorrow. Or the whole thing in the theatre I should say. Already saw the last half bootlegged. Pirating is bad kids. Both ethically and in quality. Basically the bootleg part I saw sucked ass.

I'm considering buying a domain name and some webspace for myself and moving over to Movable Type. I've become a freak.

LLLLLET'S GET READY TO RAMBLEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

I was going to wait and do a week in review post tomorrow, but I had a free minute.

So I started my new job Monday. I knew it was going to be full time for three weeks then switch to part time. Fine by me, as I'm still working my first job. So two part time jobs. Tuesday, we're told that after the three weeks of full time, there's another two weeks of full time. OK, more money. THen a guy from HR comes in and says we can work full time for the summer. Perfect! Save for the fact that until the end of June I'm working 60 hours a week. As I type this, I'm going on three hours sleep. I'll die with money in my pocket at least.

Are you the creator of Hi and Lois? Because you are making me laugh. - asmyth82 11:22 AM -

You can laugh, you can feel fine, you can dance with a little twist.

So about two weeks ago, the "new job prospect," (from hereon refered to as the NJP,) called and offered me two jobs. One was supposed to start on the 13th, the other at the end of the month. One of them was a high security thing so the NJP, (from hereon refered to as "Bunky",) said they would have to do a background check. No problem I told Bunky, (from hereon refered to as "no concept of time",) I had nothing ot hide. So I was told by no cocept of time that they'd get back to me in a week, on the 10th. It would be close, because if I wanted the first job, it would start three days after that. The 10th came and went, no call. Nothing at all. So I called Monday, got the voicemail. Same thing Tuesday. Wednesday I was out, but called Thursday. Friday evening I got a call from them. They were late by a week. I've figured out that any timeframe they give me I double now. So no concept of time says they got the security package back, no problems there and asked if I was still interested in the job. Had he not checked his voicemail and gotten all my messages? So I get the job. Then I figure he got all my messages because he gives me the number of main reception and tells me to call them if I have any questions or concerns. First three weeks are full time so 45 hours there, plus the 20 at my other job. I'll keep my old job for most of the summer if possible, but I'm guessing I'll have to leave it come July. Hopefully that'll give the boss time to find a replacement. Basically for the first three weeks in June I'll be working my ass off. I wouldn't expect to see much of me. Not that you see as much of me as you used to...I used to always hang around. I'm a geek that way.

Turn your pretty redhead babe, you forget that I exist. - asmyth82 11:26 AM -

It's that deja vu-doo you do so well

I think I've already gone through this shit once. Hell, it's not even about me, it just pisses me off. Once again, it's something that would make for a blog three pages long but wouldn't be fair for me to talk about. IT has nothing to do with me, but it can help me. It shows that despite how hectic and crazy I think stuff in my life is at any point, there's always worse. It shows me that my head is screwed on right and not up my ass. Despite not being able to see the path sometimes, I'm on the road and will be fine.

I've always been sort of a pacifist. I was told how my kindergarten teachers were amazed that while other kids were fighting to settle differences, I'd be the one to talk out the problem. At three and four years old, I'd be saying "Let's sit down and talk. Tell me your side of things." They chalked it up to good upbringing and high intelligence, and while I agree mostly, I also believe it may have had something to do with the fact I was thinner and weaker than most of the guys. I was smart enough to realize this and know I'd be in trouble if I actually fought some of the other kids. And while over the years I've found out that I can kick a little ass and take a beating, I still prefer to talk out the problem. That being said, at this moment I just want to beat some sense into the guy.

That's it for now. Now all at once: "What the hell?" - asmyth82 2:46 PM -

Which Royalty Are You? Find out! By Nishi.

You are a King!
Strong, Wise, Noble, Compassionate.
A Born Leader!

You are the epitomy of what every man should be. What sets you apart from the other men of rank and nobility is you combine every best quality they possess into one. You are skilled, motivated, ambitious, filled with a sense of purpose and morality. You know when to relax and have fun and when to be serious and courageous. You seek peace, prosperity and love in your life, and as a ruler, you seek it for your kingdom. Others follow you because of your ability to move them, and because you earned their respect. You are admired, even envied, but above all else, greatly loved.

Take the What Kind of Slacker are you? Quiz


So lazy...

Well, you're a slacker. Your greatest joy in life is sleeping, and you try to avoid doing work as much as possible. Others are envious of your talent for skating through life doing only half as much real, actual work as everyone else. You're an expert at talking teachers or bosses out of reprimanding you for your apparent lack of effort. On the upside, you won't have to worry about things like repetitive stress disorder or high blood pressure. Your life expectancy is probably pretty high due to this, not that you'll actually accomplish anything, you damn leech.

Comic addendum

So as not to go on in length about comics again, (though I easily could,) I found a link that answers Matt's question. It's straight and to the point and as a plus, doesn't have to be read by anybody who doesn't care. Here.

I also know how, in the Itchy and Scratchy video game, to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard's key. - asmyth82 3:52 PM -

C O M I C S !

WARNING! Prepare for a comic book geek to go on at length about the latest comic book movie. Oh yeah, spoilers may be present. But teh geekiness is the main thing to be careful of.

I went and saw Spider-man last night so I won't be hurting anyone. It was awesome. Sure, some of the effects looked fake and at several points you could tell it was a cgi spidey hopping around. Ah well, limitations of technology. Tobey Macguire was quite good, though I wasn't without my doubts. I'd seen some of his other stuff and seen him on the talk show circuit promoting the film and it basically looked like he'd slip into a coma at any second.
Kirsten Dunst was a good choice.
Didn't really like the Green Goblin costume though Willem (sp) Dafoe did a good job. When Osborn first changes into the Goblin, he gives this evil grin. Just from that I thought, "They shoulda let him use his face more." Seeing his eyes on occasion didn't really help when he was ranting at Spider-man. The scenes of Osborn talking to himself/hearing the Goblin respond, seemed more like Harry Osborn/Goblin II to me. Norman always came across to me as the crazy guy in control. He was insane but it was always him. He'd be pulling the strings and have some grand scheme. He was like Lex Luthor. Harry was always the really crazy one, switching back and forth between the cowardly half and the evil Goblin half. I wonder in the next one if they'll have Harry turn into the goblin or at least get married to Liz, and drive her to a nervous break down. Doubt it since they want kids to see the movie.

Not surprisingly they worked in the bridge fight, except there was no Gwen Stacey in the movie. So they substitute the Mary Jane character instead and Mary Jane can't die. The death of Gwen Stacey was a defining moment followed by the death of Norman Osborn. It was akin to Daredevil letting Bullseye drop, (I'll start in on that when Daredevil hits theatres.) As long as they don't bring Norman back. Well, at least not in a cheesy "let's wrap up this clone mess" like they did in the comics.

Odds of the villian in the next one: Doc Ock I'd say 2 to 1. Electro 3 to 1. Kraven 5 to 1. Chameleon 7 to 1 Mysterio 9 to 1. The Vulture would be a long shot since the first one already had a guy in green flying around. Rhino and Shocker couldn't carry a main villian role themselves. They're more hired muscle territory. Venom, well that might be cool to see, but they'd have to go through the whole black costume thing first. Or screw up that piece of history too.

Spider-man was basically the closest to the original material I've seen. Superman, Luthor was rich, but instead of running a business empire, he had a hideout in the subway with one stupid lackey and a secretary or something. Batman, close, but guns on the Batmobile and Batplane? Batman and guns? Mmmm..nope.

I'm done being a loser geek...For now. - asmyth82 11:56 AM -

So I got a call Saturday. Or I was told I got a call. The place that I applied to called me back and offered me two jobs. And here I was worried I wouldn't get hired. One of them doesn't look like the hours would work so i think I'll take the one that starts the end of the month. Of course, that means for June I'll be working about 63 hours a week. Sleep is a luxury right?

Going to try and see Spider-man today. Or failing that, tomorrow. And if that can't be done, then I'm hurting someone.

Something didn't happen last night. I'm trying to figure out what it was. Maybe one of you can guess.

I keep finding virus emails in my inbox. It's pissing me off, since I don't know who these people are that have the email address. At least Hotmail prechecks my personal email, but the sympatico addy keeps getting a couple a day. I wonder if I should forward it to some people. The last time my brother opened a virus email and it spammed out, we actually got an email back from someone my brother knew. She said she opened the email but nothing was in the attachment. She really wanted to see the game (Or whatever the email had said the virus was,) so if he could send it again. Stupid people amuse me.

Stupid people annoy me. Especially when they are handed change for whatever the hell they just bought and they stand there holding up the line trying to figure out the amount of cash they were supposed to get back. They waste 5 minutes, only to give up because counting in their head is hard, shrug, and say "I guess that's right." They then of course hold up the line again by saying "Oh yeah, I have these lottery tickets. Would you mind checking them?" They then proceed to pull out 50 tickets and have every one of them run through the machine. They never win anything, but before every ticket gets checked they always say "That's the big winner right there," and proceed to smirk or chuckle at their own joke as if it's the funniest goddamned thing they've ever said. After they've finished wasting paper from all the "This ticket is not a winner" slips when they could have easily checked the damned numbers themselves, but comparing numbers to see if they match is hard, they then ask for 10 more tickets. They follow that up by saying "And I just want the winners." Wow, I'm amazed that someone discovered the secret to winning the lottery. I didn't realize you had to tell the cashier that you wanted the winner when buying the ticket. Then they push the button that says winning ticket. I'll have to remember that.

I'm half asleep even as I type this

The past few days I think I've been oversleeping. Not the kind where you sleep in an extra few hours just because you can, but the kind of oversleeping that causes you to yawn and feel tired the entire day. Plus add the fact that I spent today lying around watching TV and little else and it's no real surprise I'm sleepy.

The weather around here still can't make up it's mind, in case you were wondering. It was sunny for most of the afternoon then turned cloudy and wet qquickly in the evening. Even then it wasn't sure. It stopped rainging, started, stopped. Today it seems that it wants to say wet out, or at least overcast. I'm not saying I'm complaining, it is spring after all, but I would like the sun to stay out so I could enjoy it for more than a few hours.

The Spider-man movie opens tomorrow and like the huge, apathetic, lazy fan that I am I don't have a ticket. If I could buy it online, that'd be different. If my city were part of the Fandango network that the Spider-man newsletter advertises about, I'd have my ticket in hand. Any american city I try brings up loads of theatres and showtimes, but when I try my city, I get a "This movie is not playing in or around that city." Silly me, I forgot Canada hadn't gotten into the whole moving picture hype that everyone else has. I can always watch my sundial for entertainment instead.

Unless, of course, it's still overcast. - asmyth82 4:40 PM -

It's my 80% evil at work

I knew my highlight post would generate a reaction. I chuckled my evil chuckle as I read about it.

Personally, I posted it because I found it funny. The response was just icing on the cake.

"haha, I wish you'd posted the part about why I was asking where RMF was. Then maybe he wouldn't be so steamed at me since it was really a slam at myself. :)"
Ask and you shall receive.

megantheredqueen: perhaps i am an emasculating influence
EClipse5701: lmao
GameMysteryOne: rofl
megantheredqueen: well mebbe i am
megantheredqueen: where the hell is rmf
megantheredqueen: he could concur

Now as for Matt being evil:

"Has it ever occurred to any of you people that I have a life outside the computer? No, of course not - because aside from collecting enough aluminum cans to feed your crack addiction, most of you don't.


So I let my 10% nice guy-ness slip out online - so what?


Jeebus Fuck, I've been hearing from damn-near-everyone that I've been in a "mood" lately. Could it be that it's not just a temporary "mood", but in fact my evilness overpowering the last 10% of me?"

I can personally atest to Matt being as evil as they come. He's so evil that it's noticable from satelite photos.

Yes Matt, I knew perfectly well you had a life outside the computer. I never assumed anyone in our little group didn't.

Now I'll sit back and see how far this little squabble goes.




- asmyth82 12:59 PM -

You've read some of the highlights, now read everything.

I've posted the entire log that I kept. All in all, it was a good turnout. Saw some folks that I haven't since I uninstalled the game and the Majestic chat room died.

My entire log is here.
