A new movie to look forward to

So, I’m still not sure what this link had to do with the site I was on, but I went ahead and clicked anyway. I think you should too.

http://www.vampirelesbiankickboxers.com/

People who have followed that (worksafe) link have had the following to say:

“Ah, the classic story retold.”

“Oh good god”

and

“I’m getting too old for this vampire lesbian kickboxing shit”

Harry Potter

Me and my friends (this means you) are going to go see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone at the Harkins Centerpoint 11 Luxury Cinemas in downtown Tempe at 4:50PM on Friday November 16th, 2001. Tickets can be purchased in advance through moviefone.com or from the Harkins Centerpoint box office at any time between now and the showing, though there is certainly the possibility that they will sell out at this matinee showtime, so try to get your tickets before the day of the show.

Whether you’ve read the books or not, whether you’re young or old, I think you’ll be able to enjoy this movie. If you haven’t read the book and would like to, I can lend the book to you so you can get it read before you see the movie. I think this will only make the movie more amazing because of how true to the books it remains. Either way, I hope to see you there!

The Internet is expensive

I have just worked out for the first time exactly how much all my web stuff costs me. Right now, all the services I’m paying for for the four domains I own (modernevil.com, fuckyourselftohell.com, fleevilspot.com, and monkeymonkeymonkeymonkeymonkeymonkeymonkeymonkey.com), including registration fees and hosting and related services through Easyspace.com cost me $308/year to continue renewing. Since I bought different services and domains at different times, I have never had to pay this much at once, though I did pay $195 for hosting of all these sites from May ’01 – May ’02, and will have to pay at least as much again when that runs out.

Right now I am not paying for any internet access, but even if I went with 56k, I’d have to pay for the phone line too, bring the cost of internet access to a healthy $40/month no matter what option I go with (and the options are dwindling). Forty dollars a month is another $480/year, which would bring my total expense on internet-related services to $788/year.

It’s driving me batty

I can hear the lights this morning. I’m sure I’ve mentioned the giant, overpowered bulbs they use to light this place. This morning, instead of just turning on a few lights over how own working space, John (the ONE person in Building B who likes the lights on) turned on every single light. It’s early, there’s no one else here, and it’s pretty quiet. Which means I can hear EVERYTHING that’s on. The cooler for ther server room, the transformers, and worst of all, the incessant chirping/buzzing of the lights themselves. It’s really disturbing.

Going To California

So, out of the blue, I’m going to Clifornia this weekend. No advance planning, just “Hey, you wanna go to California this weekend?” “Sure. I’ll see if I can get Friday off” … “I got Friday off. Let’s go.” “Okay.” And we’re off. We’re going to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain on Saturday, and I’m sure we’ll figure something out to do with the rest of the weekend. Maybe Californialand or Universal studios or Venice Beach or … I don’t know … planting bombs at the airport.

I’m going with my younger sister, Angela. She needs to get away from stuff going on in her life right now, and I’ve been meaning to get away, too. Plus, I have vacation days to burn. Due to poor planning on my part, I have two weeks of vacation & personal days that I have to use before the end of the year or lose them. I don’t know what to do. Probably I’ll lose a few paid days off.

So, if you care, there will be no new comics posted tomorrow, no new posts until at least Monday. Plus, unless we end up watching a movie while we’re in CA, there will be no movie review until I find the time to watch a movie, then review it. But, I fully expect to have a good time this weekend, and get home in time to do some new comics for Monday morning.
