First and foremost, I’m rather annoyed right now that AppliedTheory
continues to blow, thus cutting me from the sweet sweet AOLIM. So if you
need me, and I’m not on IM, email will have to be your primary method of
getting ahold of me.
Yesterday was a terribly exciting day, what with getting my Underworld
DVD at last, and the XFL game, and the Maxie’s run…let me break it
down in the UNKLE style.
The Underworld DVD is godlike. 90 minutes of concert footage, 90 minutes
of concept art, program your own concert, and more DVD-ROM content than
you can shake a stick at. Highly recommended.
The XFL game was interesting. While it wasn’t a terribly good game of
football, it was entertaining. It was to the point of being just
ridiculously zany. While we didn’t watch all of the game, I think the
defining moment I saw was when someone on the defensive line jumped the
line of scrimmage and just clotheslined the hell out of the Quarterback.
I couldn’t stop laughing. In any case, while the press is poo-pooing it,
the majority of the fan opinion I read said they enjoyed it, so I’ll
wager that it’ll be around for a while.
Maxie’s was good as always. Wish their food was a little cheaper, but
hey, good food isn’t cheap, and cheap food isn’t good. Well, most of the
time.
Today, I will probably get stuck in the graphics lab some more, and
hopefully my IM connection will come back up. Next weekend, I’m driving
down to Katie’s house for a little visit. Other than that, it’ll be a
hectic work week. Watch me stress out live via my webcam!
Till whenever.

Last Post Of The Year
Well friends, the year 2000 has come and gone. Okay, so it’s not all
gone, but for all intents and purposes, it is. I highly doubt I’m going
to post again between now and Jan. 1, unless it’s some ridiculous
Christmas-gift list or something.
Kate arrives into Syracuse tonight at 5:05. I don’t need to say any more
about that, do I?
On behalf of the entire staff of remy.csoft.net, I’d like to wish you a
Happy Capitalistic Holiday Gift Giving Season. May your days be merry
and bright, and may all your Christmases be white.
Happy New Year
Well, it’s a Saturday morning, and Katie and I are just lounging around
the house. I figured that it would be a good time to update my page for
those of you who reload my page endlessly.
Christmas was very very good, and I got the fabled CD burner. It is very
nice, and has been burning various things very well. I also got a
crapload of DVDs (Beastie Boys Criterion, Serial Experiments Lain:
Knights, Princess Mononoke), some books, some clothes, and a lot of
candy. Oh, and a Pocket Pikachu 2, who is much more technologically
advanced than Tom’s. Yeah.
With the large inflow of cash I’ve gotten as well, I have set up a
little petty cash fund and bought myself some fun stuff. Two more
DVDs(Powerpuff Girls: Down and Dirty, the new Se7en set), some remixing
software (Mixman StudioPro 4.0)…I still have $50 or so left, and I’m
trying to figure out what exactly I should do with it. Should probably
go towards the phone bill…argh, this is turning E/N.
Katie would like to add that she got a very large TV and a DVD player
for Christmas.
Tomorrow, we head down to her house for another week of fun and the
like. I will be returning January 8th, for those of you playing along at
home.
I hope you all have had a safe, happy, and sarcastic holiday season. I
like getting email, so if you’re bored, I’d be happy to banter with you
via good old POP3/SMTP communications.
Until next year, **PARKER LEWIS CAN’T LOSE!**
