I have cookies if you would like some cookies.

Ok , maybe not so much anymore !

I just got through the door.... I just finished another movie in the 'Jesse Stone' series.
Some of the days were really long, we had one week with 82 actual hours worked in 5 days, I can't even tell you what that translates to actual pay hours,when you convert the overtime hours to straight time .
I do know going in for 6 am & finishing at 4 am makes people stupid, or tired or something !

I had been wondering where you were!! I'm glad nothing was wrong and you were just busy, even though it sucks to be that busy. :-(
but wow, you deserve a long vacation.

The NG meet up sounds like it was a hit.
WHERE"S THE REST OF THE PIC'S ?!?!?!?!?
surely you all took more than those couple.

We didn't go to the Montreal meet, we just got together on our own. I have family in right now so I couldn't have gone. Next year we're hoping to do something bigger. and you should come. There will be food!. And we did take more pics, and stafff has some videos. But if he shows them to anyone, I will kill him. And he knows that, and that honesty keeps our friendship flourishing.

Hope you're all well, I'm going to go out in the living room & make a drink or 6.
I can sleep in tomorrow , but have a meeting about a studio space I have to rig tomorrow afternoon...my next movie full time starts in 2 weeks & I have 7 show & rigging days on other stuff before I start that !

Wow. Yeah 6 drinks definitely.

It could be worse, I could be dead.

but you aren't!!!

I'll Be Back... just not to often, be safe & take care guy's.

You better be back. Don't make us stalk you.

Also skunky said hai guys.

A couple days ago I was at the library and they had a new book clled wuthering bites. Although I do remember the arugmewnts in school about Heathcliff representing the metaphorical or possibly literal vampire, I'm pretty sure that is a reason to give up on society. That is I was until the back cover of my latest mad said there's a new Wierd Al album coming! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0YJpwKwi nE

The only vampire "mash up" fiction you need is Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. You expect it to be just utter craziness with no redeeming value and yet it sucks you in as a wonderfully heart warming type of story about the bonds of friendship, the price of duty, and the wicked bad assness of our 16th President.

Also yes, if Stafff shows those videos to people...particularly any family members...we will never be allowed to see him again. Had I known that's why he was shooting that stuff, I would have been WAY more polite and less about the dirty and the cursing.

I brought a handheld HD camera to Montreal. I don't know how to video edit and in low light with lots of moving without a Flash, the video comes out grainy but that's to be expected. I'm recording stuff at 720p/60fps because the only 1080p option is 24fps

My camera is only standard definition but it came out good. I'm not planning on editing or any of that stuff. I'm just going to slap all the snippets onto dvds and send them to my travel companions.
I may never be able to watch stargate again.

Just returned from my bridal shower in Maryland. I'm really astonished someone bought us the Shark vacuum cleaner. This was the first one. I'm having a second up here in August. The reason for that is a lot of his family's friends and family members live down there and it would be way too much hassle for them to drive up to my part of Pennsylvania. Other than the humidity and bugs it was nice.

You mean like on your user page? Unfortunately no. You just block the person and delete their comments. NG is not modding user pages as I understand it unless the content is potentially harmful to the site itself (illegal type stuff being posted).

YOU'RE the mod of your own user page. You may delete and ban to your heart's content.

The staff does appreciates knowing about spam bots getting through so they can tweak their security to stop it from happening in the future. So it wouldn't hurt to send Wade a PM if you think it's something new (sometimes I notice these things after-the-fact and I scroll through General and find it's been mentioned a lot already and I can safely assume the admins are aware of it)

Goodness, does anyone here remember those spambots that would post the same ads every time as reviews for Today's Best for a couple of hours until they were deleted?

Those guys were fun.

I keep seeing them on D:toid and The Escapist every now and then, so it looks like they're still in business. Every time I see one I mosey over to the daily top five on NG and sift through the most recent reviews, expecting the motherload to show up every time I do so.

I don't know if I'm just late or whatever, but it really does seem like NG manages to keep these particular spammy bots outside the house these days.

______________

Also, the spam you get from these new bots is fucking creepy sometimes.

Rumor on the General forums was that a couple of those guys were posting CP links...but obviously I was not about to check. Looks like there is an effort to collect userpage info from those folks since I wasn't the only one. At least I'm not like the folks who ended up with 600+ PMs from those folks spamming. Again, I had no clue what was going on since I was a couple days late to the party.

It's not that we don't WANT to share video.

It's that we've been informed by our lawyers, local, state, and federal authorities that we in fact cannot. The content is far, far too awesome and illegal to ever be released to the public.

Just make sure you PM any of us with their SN's because CP is definitely not ok, anywhere, and we'll hand that right over to Wade. I had one leave a few links on my userpage but I just deleted them because I always have spam posted on mine.

I was late for the party too.

But on a happy party note, congrats on your shower!!!!

Yes, I was wondering as I got this VHS tape in the mail labeled "Super Donkey Fun Party #2".

I only ordered "Super Donkey Fun Party #1". Talk about bad costumer service.

I did not ask for it, and thus, you did not need to send it. Now, because of your membership services, I am stuck with a tape labelled #2 instead of a tape labeled #1. Do you know how frustrating it is to watch a tape labelled #2 instead of #1? EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! I want to talk to your manager about my membership deal..............................

You kidding me? You think it's free? It costs me 7 trillion Zimbabwe dollars per year as part of the membership! It's anything but free! Besides, those horny kids in Ethiopa can watch real donkey porno, not this videotape!

In my America, I want to watch donkey porno on a VHS, not in real life!

Sir, the free tape was clearly noted on the renewal form that we sent and that you filled out and returned to us. Your paid order has been sent out and should be to you within 3 to 5 business days. If you still wish to speak to the home office in Zimbabwe I can connect you. However we take no responsibility for additional charges resulting from bloody regime changes during the time of your call.

I stopped at a restaurant downtown yesterday for dinner with some folks. There's an adult store next door, and they had a huge blowout on VHS tapes. Apparently it was $2.99 a tape. Sure, there's a blowout, but does anyone have a VCR anymore?

I've been invited to a baby shower for a soon-to-be relative. Which is fine, but I have almost zero experience with babies, and less than zero experience with what babies need. I don't know what half of the stuff on the registry is for. Some of it does seem a little out there. (Do babies really need bottle warmers?) I might have to call Mom and ask for help.

After review the documents with my lawyer I'm prepared to go to court over this matter. You can expect a call from my attorneys.

And don't try to pull the regime changes on me buster, the last time that happened I was out 25.63 lari.

what is a person to do when they become bored of everything they try to do? I'm catching hell trying to figure this one out. no matter what i do, i get bored. art? got bored. music? got bored. online games? ugh VERY BORED!! learning new languages? not interested in french or spanish, and can't find a useful application for other languages.

I think my life might be my problem, i need to get out of this prison i call my current setup and go somewhere far away and start anew, maybe then i'll find a spark of inspiration that will carry me to greatness.... or i'll end up a homeless bum trying to scratch enough together to buy matches to keep my barrel fires going on this cold dark nights...


I'm not crazy, everyone else is.
