REVENGE OF THE NERDS
It doesn't have to be a movie that you've seen either.. Just as long as it's a movie.. If someone makes a movie up & just pulls a title out of their ass, it can be challenged! No made for TV movies please.

HIGHLANDER
Missed the monthly sales by about three grand! Makes for a good lesson, start attacking goals from the beginning and do not try to play catch up in the end. A new month is beginning. "Jaba" took a breather from his vacation to talk to the Territory Sales Representative that I hired. He sat with Michael for a whole hour. I was wondering if Jaba ate him. When they both came out of the meeting room I was relieved. Anyway, my boss likes the new recruit. He expects me to train him on the capabilities of the store and its team members. Funny, how he didnt even bleeped a sound about my "success".
Pia... if you look at the last 15 posts. the movie titles we post at the beginning of each blog was Ching's idea. Everytime someone posts at GS you have to think of a movie title that starts with the last letter of the title that the previous blogger poster. IE.. i posterd Highlande(R).... so now the next GS post has to start with the letter R. Any takers?

Hi Pia - the deal with the game is that YOU get to pick what movie goes up next. It just has to start with an "H".
And I'm purposely talking about movies y'all might not have seen ('cos i'm old enough to be everybody's DAD here), that way we all broaden our horizons a little. I never saw Strange Days or Nell or Dogma or Armageddon either...
And talk about feeling out of place - 25 years older than all y'all, and don't know word one of Tagalog... but I stick around 'cos you're all nice to me. ;-)

I'm still here guys! I read our blog everyday. It's just that school is really hectic and I hardly have any time to stay long enough online to blog. Besides, I have never seen any of the movies you guys talk about. I feel so out of place. :(

LOVE AND DEATH
A Woody Allen send-up of every Russian novel ever written. Cute in a sort of a "look at us aren't we devilishly clever" way. Not his best work. Maybe his last Diane Keaton movie - I disremember.
We're all on the edge of our chairs, Net - didja make it? Still on your way to Emperor?
And...
...is this just a 3-corner game? Or can we get Pia and Jen and Glee and aPriL et al to join in?

Just got done watching "Strange Days" --- never seen it before.. Saw it on TV while channel-surfing. Totally intriguing.. I ask Brian what it's all about as I usually do with movies because I know he's seem them all. Annoyed, he dismisses my question and tells me that I have to watch it from the beginning in order for it to make sense. And he goes, "I've got it here somewhere -- if you haven't sold it yet.." So I watch it in the bedroom while I'm ironing. Pretty good. Makes you think. Didn't James Cameron do "Titanic"? How can the same guy make "Strange Days" and then turn around and make a movie like "Titanic"? It doesn't add up! Then again, a dollar's a dollar.. Brian's just relieved that I have something else to do other than pester him to get off the computer so I can take my turn. Needless to say, the movies over and I bumped him off the computer. Shoot, he was just playing Star Trek Armada II, anyway! It's not like he's writing a manifesto. Which, if he were, I'd be really worried. The last thing I need is to be married to a Ted Kazinski wannabe. What is the deal with those strategy games anyway? Am I the only one who doesn't get it? They're all freaking the same!!
Speaking of games, we ran to Best Buy last night at 8:45 PM -- 15 minutes before closing time thinking that we'd buy Tekken 4.. It doesn't even come out until September 25!! Some wacko worker at Best Buy told Brian that it was coming yesterday! They should give us something for wasting our freaking time! I need some compensation, dammit!!

ARMAGGEDON
Its coming down to the wire. I opened up the sales report for August and my store needs 3500 simoleons to make the sales plan. My highspeed color printer is down. Xerox says they cant get a technician to me until after 5pm. Meanwhile, I have a project thats on hold which can put me over the top if I can get it printed ($10,000). It still needs to get laminated and 3 hole drilled. If Xerox can fix my printer and get the document printed, I can send it to my outsource to complete the auxilliary work and I can complete a banner month at Kinko's - sans my boss who is still on vacation. What proof do I need, to show the powers that be, that I deserve my own empire?
Did I mention its raining cats and dogs out here? Daf - I never seen Fisher King. Looks like I have another thing to list on Netflix as my next DVD to borrow. Ching - I read that link about cyberwings. First time I'm hearing of that site. So sorry that you have been a victim. We are all victims of this Shaun's devilish scheme. Anyway, the weatherman is saying that there might be flash floods for the evening commute tonight. I might be coming home on a boat.

DOGMA
I'm suck a sucker for internet scams.. Along time ago, when I had chingay.com I got scammed.. Now, with goldensushi.net -- I am victimized yet again. Do I have sucker plastered on my forehead or what? Has anyone ever heard of cyberwingssucks.com? Apparently, I'm the last one to know.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
Might as well stick with The Classics...
I've felt like the living dead for the last coupla days - killer sore throat. Caught it from Kim. C'mon, we never even SEE each other, hardly.
Anyhow, back at work today, but not happy about it.
Net - the movie was The Fisher King. Bridges was the shock jock, Williams was there when the bit went wrong.

YEAR OF THE DRAGON
This afternoon could not get any worse. I went to pick up Dorothy from work and I was 10 minutes late. She reiterated that I should be prompt and that weve been through this once before.
I ended up angry and decided to pop the accelerator and overtake the slow moving car in front of me. Dorothy shut up and was shocked at what I did. When I calmed down she politely said "Can you try to drive normally, I would like to live long and have kids."
Neither of us apologized for the way we reacted to each other this afternoon. We did went on with our evening. I went rollerblading with her by Bayside Marina and later watched Oceans 11. I ended the evening giving her a goodnight kiss and she having a smile on her face.
(N) is next.

DEAD POETS SOCIETY
Let's play our movie game.. Brian and I used to play this on our cellphones when we're going convoy to make the time pass by quicker. The rules are simple: you can't repeat movie titles and your title should begin with the last letter / number of the previous movie named. In this case, the next person to blog needs to head their blog entry with a movie that starts with a "Y" --- clear as mud? Let's play!

RE: Robin Williams Movie
Oh OH.. is it.. Goodmorning Vietnam? Robin Williams plays this guy shock jock in the ARMY?
Did I get the daily double?

Welcome back Ching & Brian!
Net, it's gotta be tough to be a shock jock - there are lines you can't cross, but it's your job to go right up to them without crossing over. Hard to do consistently. You couldn't pay me enough!
There was that movie with Robin Williams and one of the Bridges boys - forget the title (I own the VHS and still can't remember - sad or what?)... Speaking of shock-jock bits gone seriously wrong.

Moving On...
My favorite technology show is moving to a new set. For this event they want to sell some of the GREAT gadgets they had in the old studio. CLICK HERE to see the goodies they are selling.
In other news, this week, my beloved boss took is long awaited two week vacation. And not a moment too soon! The end of week one is here and I have improved the store greatly! We've aquired the highest customer service rating in the region. 90.6% of those surveyed says we ROCK! Mystery Shopper anyone? We scored a perfect 100! Who's you're daddy?
Whats left is to clean the house! The powers that be are visiting the New York market, My boss "JaBa" and I will have to make sure the store is up to their standards. I have to start by sweeping the mice away. Got a couple of them who still arent playing my way.
But enough of myself. This is a forum.
Change of topics....
WNEW fired OPIE and ANTHONY. The two shock DJ's were fired for the dare they gave their listners to have Sex in St. Patricks Cathedral! Discuss....

Ching: I hope your honeymoon went well. Please don't forget to show us some pictures when you're not too busy. BTW, does this mean we no longer have Goldensushi? I can't believe how insane our server is for not posting any sort of message regarding our website. I seriously think they ran off with your money! You should file a complaint!

Talked to a few people about Cyberwings but getting mixed opinions. Some say to wait it out when they regroup and up and running by the end of August and some say to take the money and run with another server. This is the first I have heard of a server going down for such a long period without major notification and no direct re-startup date. It sounds very fishy. Speaking of fish, I think its time to dip the pole in the Long Island Sound. A couple of co-workers and I will fish after work. Hmmm. I might have to borrow Tonino's fish rods. Mine is MIA. I dont remember taking it with me when I left Manhattan.

Cyberwings is our server for Goldensushi. I think it's a good idea to ask people at that convention Net. You might know some people who use Cyberwings. Please let us know...

Back in Las Vegas sans Dottie. Im here for the DEF CON X convention. For those of you out of the loop its a "Nerd" convention filled with would-be-hackers, network gurus, and of course nerds like me. This is my first DC, I am so anxious. I ran into Pat Norton from TechTV at the Hard Rock Hotel playing Black Jack. I played a couple of hands on his table but lost. (not much of a gambler). This is also the first for me that my manager agreed that I can charge the flight costs to the company. Woohoo!!! I am so appreciative of it since I got to fly first class thanks for the upgrade from my JFK connections. Flight was kinda bumpy but it was great to be in "friendly" skies. Las Vegas is soooooo HOT. Okay, gettin ready to dip in the pool I am putting on some sun block...for those of you that tan easily I recommend SPF45 or higher. Who is the server for our site? I might be able to find some answeres here at DC.

Heres a story I received in E-mail. I found it ironic. Its probably made its round trip in email fwds. Anyway, read on:
A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old
farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day
The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some
bad news, the donkey died."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Kenny said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."
the farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?" Kenny said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"
Kenny, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00."
Farmer, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
