First off...

So I still haven't seen anyone elses star wars horoscope or weapon of choice.
While attending George B Armstrong Elemantary School "The Empire Strikes Back" was released.
I remember Movie Day at Patowatamee (What a name to give a kid to try and spell!) Day Camp when I was seven.

I remeber sitting in the seating area that's too close to the screen, what did I know, it was the first time I was ever at a movie without my parents.

I'm sure we all remeber and others have discussed, The size of the screens that the first three were released on.
(sittimg too close to the screen distorst both the picture and the sound but I digress)
The main thing I recall from the movie was the ice planet. The theater was so cold that later in life when I heard about Smell O Vision it seemed like an obvious extension of what they did by putting a buch O kids from a hot bus into an air conditioned theater.

kick-ass stereo

OOhhhh- almost forgot.
So after reading this living simply website, I went on another round of purging stuff/crap/junk around the house. The fact that I'll only garbage pick one item at a time has helped but you know how old habits die...
So we were recently given a tv, broken Dvd player that powers a woofer and three of the possible five surround sound speakers. Now it would have been a little cooler if the player could recognise any disk, or if the other 2 speaker were around but I certainly didn't complain and after fucking with it for an hour when i first got it - I haven't touched the DVD player at all. When I watch tv I end up watching "the Apprentice" so surround sound wasn't a big concern. (Anyway we move the tv at least once a week so the extra speakers would mean extra work.

So my cd player was bought here a couple of years ago, and while it's a nice boom box, it has recently gotten even moodier about reading disks.

Now I have a small table with:
a keyboard on the bracing of the legs
a powerpc set to autoplay whatever cd it has in it
a dvd player that after three pushes of a button on the remote will read vid1
a woofer (I know it would sound better elsewhere)
two small speakers

It looks odd/cool/impressive and as soon as I figure out how to load music onto the hard drives I'll learn those keyboard commands so my juke box will never nee a monitor.

Old Gym Shirt

Ah, highschool gym class.
I remember double period Gym through my entire Junior year because I thought I could beat the system the two years previous.

Now I work at a cubicle-and would really like to play a different sport for five weeks, except that dancing one - Freshman square dancing and the "Electric Slide" which I never could get the hang of.

Oh, and here's one of my favorite Gym memories, picture spending the night with a girl - nothing happens, I believe this was the night that created the phrase "those cakes aren't even in the oven". In the course of nothing happening I discovered "Blue Balls". While the condition itself is unpleasant at best, having to run a mile in Gym - oh my poor cajones...

pissant

Alrighty now I feel a little better then yesterday - I got a chance to sit around in my underwear and play 2 hours of Warcraft III. Yup I am a fucking addict - it doesn't even matter so much as to the focus of my addiction but my personality has and probably always will lead me to obsess over something..

I talked to someone earlier today who was talking about working in the same place for 10 years - that sounds like HELL. Must get ritalin....
