Start your geek
engines. The opening of 'Attack of the Clones' has snuck up on us, and
we're only about a month away. It seems like only yesterday we were
up at the Pyramid mall seeing the movie and getting right back in line.
Good times. The only question that remains now is....where and when?
The dark side awaits. Also this evening, I've gotten a chance to listen
in on the new Soundtrack by John Williams. The big song from this is
'Across the Stars (love theme)'. I thought we had a copy a few weeks
ago @ duck's house, but it wasn't the real deal. Well, I heard the real
deal today, and it's good stuff. Catch a snippet by going over to the
official Sony
Classical site here. (some say that there might just be some songs
to be found on Kazaa, but I wouldn't be one of them. That would be wrong.)
(plus, there are
some bogus tracks out there trying to disguise themselves as the official
Williams jaunt. Don't be fooled.)
Big Pimpin',
Spendin' Cheeze. (by
Kluv, 4/8/02, 9:19pm)
Yo. Sup? Wha'choo do this weekend? Coo. I chose to spend the weekend
repairing my damaged computron with Norton System Works 2002 (worked
like a charm), and did some cleaning up around the apartment/cyberspace.
Purveyed a newly discovered tavern in Astoria last week by the name
of 'Sunswick'. Where they had numerous taps ('Coldest Beer in NY!' said
the advert) and numerous Televisions. Bartender heard Irish
& myself talking w/ Duck about the Sox & Celts, so he popped
on the Bruins game for us. Nice guy. Also got to watch the very first
SmackDown! since the rosters split. Fun times.
In case you
didn't realize, Jedirish got back into
town last week with a brand-new PS2 in tow (reaped from his birthday
on Marz25th). Now, he is in the PS2 clan, and will soon feel the crystal-meth-like
addiction to Grand Theft Auto III that has taken us all (even I spent
2 1/2 hours trying to do the rampage where I snipe the heads off the
columbians...still didn't do it...).
Thanks to
the free preview of the MLB Extra Innings on DTV, Matty and I were able
to watch the Sox game on Sunday where Pedro
made his triumphant return to winning ways with a masterful performance
against the Orioles. Papa Lou was in attendance, and had a great time
seeing K-dro get his first win in many moons. He said the pop that Ped's
96-mph fastball made in Varitek's mitt was audible, and he almost caught
a zinging foul from Tony 'the Ex-Tiger' Clark (but lost it as it kareened
off a womans shoulder 2 seats in front of him). GiMp was mighty pleased
that her pseudo-hubby Hillenbrand had "a couplea pairs of 2-run
homers" while she flew back from San Fran/Seattle/Oaktown/etc.
on her west coast gala.
Also, while
Diggity was watching the Nets fall victim to Paul 'The Truth' Pierce
& the Celtics, Myself, Irish, Frants, Mamity, Bunk, Diesel, Bobo,
& others were celebrating J2S' life-day. At 25 years, his parents
still brought naked baby photos (I mean, fourteen is an old
baby, but a baby nonetheless), and provided us with some yummy beer
& cake. Mols did a nice job of arrangin' things, and aside from
the crap bartendress--it was an all-round good time. (Just like 'Switch',
the #1 all-round entertainer on the Costa del Sol.)
Well, that's
my weekend. You might want to take a peep over at the Messageboard,
where Haiku is making a comeback. Plus, there's a lil' play involving
our boys Salieri & B.C. at the Events
page. Aaaand, the LINKS page has
been revamped/slimmed down, so that it's just one giant list of various
links to mess around on. If you have any that you'd like to add---lemme
know. Till then, keep your G's straight & your ho's in check.

Update
For Update's Sake (by
Frants, 4/4/02, 2:23pm)
Kluv asked, nay demanded me to write an update for the site. So here
it is. An update.
Let's see, it's 2:23pm on Thursday, April 4, 2002. Sunny outside, about
52 degrees F.
What's in the news today? GASP AND HORROR! Bryant Gumbel is leaving
CBS's The Early Show! Oh god, what will happen to mornings now that
the crass, uncaring, sarcastic asshole known to his friends as Bry-Bry
and to his enemies as -CENSORED-
is leaving? And what will he pursue next?
That's about it really. Make sure to go to the Film Fop Forum for all
your latest Film Fop antics. Tip your waitress, she's working hard for
you. Make sure your local Chinese food vendor uses no MSG. Give puppies
the right to be loved: write your congressman about The Puppy Protection
act portion of the Farm Overhaul Program.
As
an added treat for everyone on this wonderful Thursday, I bring you
a whole new page of the Inspirational Writings of Larry's Dad: Darth
Okay Okay!If you haven't read his words in a while, go back
to the beginning, and fall in love all over again with the man who
brought us 'TESTING EMAIL VALIDITY BETWEEN US'.
Truly,
an american treasure.
Also,
if you happened to miss 'the Osbournes' this past Tuesday--try and catch
the rerun. Now. As soon as possible. The phrase "comic gold"
doesn't even do it justice. The image of Ozzy falling backwards in his
chair when noone is around... will continue to bring me joy for quite
some time.
Alright.
Back to work.
ps--Yer
all welcome to take a look at your bio's and do a little updating. Some
of em' are getting a little dusty. I think mine still said I was 23
when I updated mine the other day.
Ah. 23. When I still had a full head of hair....
pps--
If you haven't seen on the messageboard: Two new Tom Waits Mp3's can
be found over at Anti.com,
and they are well worth the download. Enjoy.
ppps--
Gimp is out west in San Fran/Oaktown/Seattle, and wanted me to pass
her hellos onto you.
Well,
opening day has come and gone. And for most of us, it has really
gone. Are these indications of things to come?
1.
Will Baltimore, Toronto, & Tampa Bay remain atop the Sox & Yanks?
2. Will ERA's of Pedro (21.00) and Roger (16.61) ever go down?
3. Will Giambi leave 905 batters on base this year?
4. Will Tony Clark continue his pace for a .600, 182 HR, 546 RBI comeback
season?
5. Will Soriano, Bernie, Ventura, Jorge, or Nick Johnson ever get
a hit?
6. Will Ted Lilly throw 364 K's, or will Shea Hillenbrand get 182 walks
(after only 13 walks in 2001)?
Is
it still the beginning of the season? Yes.
Did I make lame attempts at trash talking in #'s 3 & 5? Yes.
Am I going to go and watch RAW to relax now? Yes.
Deeb.
Has Left. The Building.
(by Kluv, 4/1/02, 10:46am)
Well
kids, he's left us. As of yesterday, Deebins hath fled the east coast
in search of chicago-style pizza. We wish him well, & hope to see
him sometime again in the 'hood.
As
for the rest of us, spring is here. And with the coming of spring is:
baseball.
Oh
yes. Once again, it is time to don the caps and gloves and begin the
most passionate sports-smack-talk of the year. It is a new season, and
most of our teams have undergone some big changes. Who will win? Whose
cuisine will reign supreme?! Keep and eye on the tube & the messageboard,
and I'm sure you'll be able to gague our teams respective levels of
success by the no. of posts/epithets. It's the national pastime, y'all.
This
past weekend a number of folks took a jaunt out to the movies to catch
'Panic Room'. Well done job by Mr. Fincher & the cast. Keeps the
tension building thru the whole film--right up thru the ending. I'd
say we give it two big thumbs up. Also, on Saturday night, Myself, Gimp,
Duck, Frants, Mamity, TonyMayes, Ben-No, & Pollyanna were in the
house @ MSG to watch the one and only Kevin Venardos perform as the
Ringmaster of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. It was
truly an amazing event. KV was without a doubt masterful in his role--he
was truly born to be the Ringmaster. It was mind blowing to see him
down on the floor of the Garden singing and talking to the thousands
of people watching. I mean, he was the only person that speaks
thru the whole show. He sang every number. And he's loving it, too.
He took us backstage and we got to see the elephants and animals (and
his dog) and the costumes and tons of other stuff.... needless to say,
IT WAS AWESOME. So, if you're in the city, and you get the chance--go
catch KV as the Ringmaster. Also, click
here to check out KV virtually on the web.
That's
about all I gotst for ya. Enjoy spring.
The
Wrights of Spring...
(April, 2002)
Well, everyone
knows that if something is a 'happening' party, gig, or scene--then
it's listed over at the Events
section. Why, just last month, we found out about Oscar Bashes,
Drinking Gatherings & Going Awayses, and Circus Circuses. So, between
the new baseball season (plenty of time to gather, drink, and talk shite),
the nice spring weather, & all the interesting yah-jects you got
going on--Like Salieri's fun time LIVE
NUDE PLAY (go see it, good times, he says)... Lets Get
Together, Baby.
