MANWITHPEZ

Okay...this flylog is rated PG-13 for assorted usages of bad language...Everyone still here? Thought so. Tonight, my first night on swing shift (1500-2300) there is no work, as we might be getting pummeled by a large hurricane building off the coast as we speak. Someone brings in a disc with some burned games on it. Okay...every Atari, NES, and SNES game known to man. The cursing began with Top Gun. Someone actually remembered how to land the goddamn plane! I could never do that when I was playing that game back in the day. It went like this: "How do ya like me now, Bitch!" "Fuck! How the fuck did you fuckin' do that?" Later on, Super Mario Bros. 3 came out. It went like this: "You know, I used to be able to get further than the fuckin' second level!" Jeopardy!: "This game is fuckin' gay!" And, my favorite of the evening: Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!: "I can't fuckin' believe this! I'm gonna fuckin' lose to Glass Joe!" "My fuckin' arms are tired from playing this stupid game!" and, my personal favorite: "I'm not goin' the fuck home until I beat Mike!" Gotta love those old games! People are in here actually cheering about Punch-Out! I'm on a rocket sled back to 1988! Go 88!!!

WAAAAHHH! Yes, a bit melodramatic, but it's a well deserved waaahhhh....Joss was doing Q&A in Melbourne, 1 hour away from my very campus and tickets were sold out before I'd even heard about it. Word of mouth in this part of the world is depressingly slow :( So I'd love to hear the goss from anyone who did happen to catch the show. Me? I settled with watching him on "Rove Live" instead. Hardly the same, but any Joss fix is a good Joss fix.

You know, as much as I love Firefly, I get really aggravated with everyone constantly talking about how great it is, how "shiny" it is, and how genius it is. I don't necessarily disagree, but if we are going to talk about how good a show is, I think it's best to point out a lot of the negatives. I bought the commentary book "Finding Serenity" and from what I've read so far there are a few fascinating rebuttals, but for the most part everyone chalks Firefly up to the television equivalent of the Bible. Does anyone out there know of any commentary that completely blasts the show? I have found a few reviews of the movie, but they were by people who hadn't really watched the show and there arguments seemed moot to me. It would be a great relief to find someone who sees all its flaws without trying to maintain its glory. (But let me reiterate -- I very much like the show).

DROPPYMCCOOL

... which came up negative, but got me thinking. I'm really a nervous little man, scared of just about everything, but the world can't see that. This is my dilemma. I'm a big ol' scardy cat trapped in the body of an adonis. Okay, an adonis with a couple extra pounds. Fine... and adonis with a couple extra pounds and little girl wrists. Jeez, I never would have brought it up if I thought you would rub it in. Anyway, I'm this stoic Defender of Freedom and Filer of Paperwork, and last week my wife asks me to pick up a pregnancy test, damn near reducing me to a whimpering little girl. Why couldn't she have asked me to pick up some tampons or a duvet cover? Oh well. Honestly, I'm a little bummed that it wasn't positive, but I should probably invest in a difibrilator before next month. Oh, and the next day I got a hematoma, saw a dude riding an old timey bike and picked up Serenity #3. In that order. Droppy

I guess that's what you would call me at the moment. I just recently got into the show, and I am horribly addicted, not that I am complaining. Hehe, anyway, I made this today, I thought it came out pretty good.

UNCHARTEDOUTLAW

Okay, so I'm posting this here because it's funny. My sister-in-law sent it to me. Dear Red States... We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon,Washington,Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire. With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you. Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy b*****ds believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties. By the way, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico. Peace out, Blue States

I edited the picture I posted in my last blog, so here it is:

RIVERNOT

This is not Firefly related, but I find it very disturbing and am surprised that I just found out about it. You'd think lead found in kids'lunch boxes would be be all over the news, especially since the information is 15 days old and it's a new school year. Anyway, please check this out and pass it on. Thanks.

WICKEDLESTER

But first, i need to start with the beginning of that night. My friend Tod and i went to the pool hall, then we went to this guy joey's house. we played football...and it hurt. I got railroaded by a 350 pound fifteen year old tank. it was a fucking blast. Then we stopped by my old best friends house, named marcus. We drove to a grociery store that was about an hour away to steal some vodka ( And we sung christan songs along the way, which was about as wied as it sounds) fast foward about four hours, and we're all getting bombed off the stolen smirnoff.(which i felt pretty bad about later on) I fall asleep in the big chair about five uin the mormning, and about six todd woke me up and said "I need help with marcus." Marcus was having some sor of panic attack, and he couldn't remeber who where he was for about half an hour. then he got his memory back, but he couldn't walk, so we had to help him take a piss. and that's when i saw it. It made me really not want to be gay. ( i was having a lot of confusioin on the subject up intil that point.) I feel beter about life, except the guilt over the stealing.(although, it was a lot of fun to do it. i was the distraction.) any thoughts?
