Yeah. Plans changed. I don't think it's coming any night.

(Ah, what the hell, I'll give it another shot tonight. If I can find the time to pull myself away from Cyberball. WHICH I DOUBT HEH)

Are you going to finish any project you start anymore, or is that out?

Watching a movie ought not to be a "project." I hope that says something about Dark Star.

Probably not until you stop considering yourself Jonsey's own, personal obstacle from HELL.

"Oh, you were trying to work? Try this ROM instead!"

It's all your fault.

=(

I had five AIM windows up on Monday.

But that's a problem with *me*. I take full responsibility for it. I hop on, and people who enjoy engaging, stimulating conversation converse with me.

AIM is also a useful tool for debugging, so I can't abandon it. If I recall, Greg and I were on AIM or ICQ or something right before the competition deadline when I released ACS. Good fun.

Jesus, that's depressing. Had you been doing that kind of thing a year and a half ago, I would have kicked you out of my wedding party.

...Well, at least told you that since you're apparently a ten-year-old girl, you should be a bridesmaid instead of whatever-they-call-the-dudes. Ushers or whatever.

If you do insist on "IMing", at least have some self-respect and use ICQ. Say what you will about Worm, at least he pops onto ICQ regularly.

Oh, sure! I hear you! "They're both owned by AOL, so what's the difference?" Well, as soon as you go down that line of logic, you'll be using AOL Mail and AOL for Broadband and so on instead of Mozilla and WinAmp (both of which I'm using at the moment.) At least ICQ doesn't have a fucking "buddy list." (Though, again, at least AIM doesn't blare a fucking foghorn at you when it starts up.)

C'mon. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Because ICQ is the second most fucking annoying IM client in existance.

(the single most annoyinginstant messaging client in existance is YAHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! messenger. And especially the chatportion. I have never seen such a more wreched hive of scum and villainyTM in my life.)

I have AIM on at work because it's required. Other than that, instant messenging can lick my scrotum.

Vitriola · Post by **Vitriola** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 12:56 pm

Maybe it's my borderline ADD or whatever, but I couldn't get any work done at a computer until IM was invented. My icq number is 6 digits. I'm just fucking hopeless with any kind of seated task if I don't have it on. That being said, Robb would probably have around 12 windows up if he ever turned icq on. He is also the only reason I use AIM.

The people though, that IM you just because you happen to be on, and not because they have anything specific to say, and get pissed when you don't answer them right away because half the time you're not even sitting at the computer, you just have it on? Negative.

OH! Lysander, funny thing. I was searching google for which H. P. Lovecraft stories were used in the movie Necronomicon, and from whatever search words I used, I came across the site, if in fact you took it directly from a site and it's not just a coincidence, that your sig came from. It was a very random and in-story kind of web page, so I really didn't get it, but it was stragne that I just happened across it that way. And you're weird.

Lysander · Post by **Lysander** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 9:49 am

Actually, I just stole it from Muted Faith's one-liners page. So I guess that means that I got it from someone who got it from someone else who probably got it from someone else. Wee. Thanks.

Hey Jones! Are you ever gonna post a review to 'Dark Star'?

This IS the bad SF movie with the cheesy special effects we're talking about right? The one where they have to talk the bomb out of exploding? Where the hippie like astro-nots spend the hours hanging out is some weird crash pad dorm room or something.

There was an unfortunate bottleneck in our netflix queue. It took me a couple weeks to realize that Robb was not going to sit down and watch the next 4 episodes of RahXephon with me, so now that I have that to watch by myself, everything else got sent back so he could get more crappy movies recommended by strangers on the internet that said something funny once like 2 years ago and so then of course must have good taste in flicks.

I had a lot of fun watching the "Firefly" tv show box set again these last couple months. I'd recommend getting that. I think I said something funny in '99.

Vitriola · Post by **Vitriola** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 1:41 pm

I have heard so many good things about that, but it's still tv. Is it actually good on it's own, or just good as far as tv shows go? And isn't it an incomplete series?

Roody_Yogurt · Post by **Roody_Yogurt** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 1:44 pm

It's somewhat incomplete, but they're trying to make a movie of it now (whether it's an actual theater-distribution thing or straight-to-tv, I'm not sure), after which they hope they can get back to making the show.

Still, there are a couple characters that have such nice shining funny moments that I think it's worth to catch up with it now.
