Month: June 2004

wow, and almost as soon as I hit “Post entry” Nick and Craig come strolling down with the projector and mounting hardware.

God damn, what with doing nothing productive at home this week, and having worked solely in the lab since noon Monday, I feel like I’ve done nothing but sit at this desk for the entire week (which is pretty close to true). I couple minutes ago, I thought I was gonna break free, but the student worker taking over this afternoon had a couple more things to do for the Associate Dean (for whom he is also working for this summer). As a result, I’m Still Here! So yeah, I watched my movie, I’ve read my email, I’ve checked LiveJournal about fourty gajillion times. I’m hoping to go to lunch today wtih “the guys” but then again, I’m not sure who’s going and where. I’ve got a craving for a sandwich from The Tomato, but then again, the way my day’s (week’s) been going, if Riprocks has Blue Moon on tap like I’ve heard, I may have to go there and get a BLT and a Beer. I guess I’ll let Steve make the call, but I almost think this week would only get better with alcohol at this point.

I’m really hoping Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury comes in tonight, I’m really wanting to see that even if it is only 30 minutes and I’ve never been that fond of Peter Chung’s animation style. I’m just curious to see what happened between Pitch Black and Chonricles. I guess, when I think about it, I don’t really need to know. They covered the greater details in Chronicles, and if left to my own devices, I coudl interpolate the rest if I needed to, but I’m such a fan boy right now, I’m just jonesin’ for more. Hell, I almost wish there was a Riddick Universe setting book so I could possibly run or play some role playing game in their universe. It has a bit of a Fading Suns feel, but almost more stripped down.

Craig seems to lose track of a lot of the things I tell him, but then again, I think I’m guilty of the same. He came in and said we needed to get with facilities so someone could build us a platform to install the new classroom projector on, but we have a mounting plate that just need to be put in place. I had told him the mounting plate had come in months ago… oh well, now he’s driven to install it. Maybe since I’m apparently stuck in here for even longer, he’ll get Nick to come down and do it now.

Sheesh, do I even write anything worth reading? Somehow, I doubt it.

“I come down here to do a simple job and all of a sudden I have Geronimo running through the house and Tarzan jumping on my coconut.”

“[Roger] was the random result of generations of hasty, unplanned dog sex. For the past three months, Roger had eaton nothing but dirt.”
“…Roger thought his furry butt was a 24-ounce porterhouse.”

and I’m in the lab for the third day this week. My ass is getting tired from sitting in this chair. In the office I at least get to stand up and walk around more. In the lab I’m pretty much sitting at the desk the whole time. I’ve got another movie for today, but I just haven’t started watching it yet. I was hoping Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury would be in my mailbox yesterday, but all there was was one of those catalogs of catalogs. Talk about a boring mail day.

Okay, I’m putting the movie in

Right, so Nick just stopped by to tell me that Tuk sends me his “Warmest Regards.” What a fucker. I never know what he means.

Bah, I don’t have anything to say.

Well, last night Heather and I saw BIG: Electric Guitar on which they mad an Electric Guitar 30′ 8″, strung with Piano wire, and made the most amazing sound I’ve ever heard. I’ve never heard bass that low. When they picked a string and ran up the neck with a slide, it sounded like a motorcycle driving by… a big motorcycle. Yeah, it was cool.

I need coffee.

What the hell, I’m bored and it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these

At the end of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension, there is a teaser for a movie Buckaroo Banzai vs. the World Crime League. this movie was never made, but it turns out that the script that had been written for it, was heavilly altered and became its own movie, Big Trouble in Little China. Now for the cool part, when I came to work two weeks ago, I loanded someone my Buckaroo Banzai DVD, and when I was stuck at work yesterday, Heather brought me my Big Trouble in Little China DVD. Today, they’re the two movies I had, unknowingly planned to watch.

I love serendipity.

1. take your livejournal username and replace each letter with the corresponding number (a=1, b=2, etc.). if your name contains numbers, you’ll need to convert them to letters first before you can convert to numbers.
peloquin3 = 16 – 5 – 12 – 15 – 17 – 21 – 9 – 14 – 20 – 8 – 18 – 5 – 5

2. add all of the numbers together to create a kind of super number.
155

3. make a note of the first digit of this number (1), then add the digits of the number together. 11

4. find the post of this number in your livejournal. if you don’t have that many posts, add the digits together again. keep doing so until the number is smaller than your pathetic number of posts. August 27, 2001

5. take the digit you noted in step 3, and count that many words into the post. 1 = Well

6. use the resulting word in a google image search, and select a picture from the first page.

7. post the results for us all to see! Only one even slightly erotic image, I’m surprised.

wow, someone hold me, because I just put the fear in myself. I just realized my new favorite beer is a Coors Brew…

Blue Moon Belgian White Ale

That movie was the highlight of my Summer so far. I’ve been looking forward to this movie for months now and I have to say, even with all the anticipation I’ve built up for myself, I was not dissapointed in the least.
