"Top Ten Best Shoutings Of A Character's Name in history" "HERE are many long and dignified traditions in the world of film. One of the most important, yet least-trumpeted, is the importance of a good character name to a movie. It just wouldn't be the same if Biff Tannen walked into the malt shop and shouted "Hey, Finkleberg!", or if Arnie had played the T-42, would it? In honour of this (and new name-flick The Life of David Gale), Robot Fist proudly presents the Top Ten Best Shoutings Of A Character's Name in cinematic history. "

"The Tesla coil, and latter the tesla magnifier, were designed by Nikola Tesla as devices for Global communication. His aim was to produce a 'World Service', unlike Marconi's vision of using radio as a point to point wireless telegraph system, Tesla saw radio as a way of globally broadcasting a radio signal that could be picked up by anyone anywhere with the right equipment. His failure was due to a lack of funding when Marconi demonstrated his inferior but vastly cheaper radio, based on Tesla's patents and designs (note as of 1947 Tesla holds the patents for radio).
His eventual aims for the Tesla coil were even grander - he desired to use it to transmit electrical power throughout the earth so that electrical machinery could be run anywhere without batteries just by tuning into the right frequency with the right equipment.
He tested this and was able to transmit some 2000 watts 200 miles to power fluorescent tube lights in front of a small audience. Whether or not this would have worked on a global scale was never proven, and whether it could be done safely, without electrical circuits resonating by accident and picking up kilovolts of unwanted power, was a major concern. The important thing is that it looked damn cool when the test station was powered up and producing 140 feet of man made lightning."

From Boing Boing and Ellis.
Warren Ellis takes a break from scripting his new comic to rant about the alternate history posisbilities of Nicola Tesla.
You know Tesla patented something very like a solar panel in 1901? Do you even care?
I do, because it's going to make my spaceships fly. Tesla's solar panels, Tesla's wireless broadcast power, and the Biefeld-Brown Effect, an electrogravitational phenomenon that causes powered flight. (Tesla himself had also dicked around with electromagnetic field lift, to no great consequence. But if he'd gotten proper funding for broadcast power, things could have been different. He may have been a figure of greater stature in his later years, making Townsend Brown consider contact him. A success in broadcast power would make Tesla a more vital figure in his later years, to be certain.)
(I mean, can you imagine this? America, between the wars, was not the US of today. It did not recognise itself as a "superpower". That's one of the things that prevented a quick save of the Great Depression; America did not attempt to shape the international economic environment solely through its own actions, acting as the hegemony. It had retreated to its old policy of isolationism, as handed down by George Washington in his Farewell Address: "avoid entangling alliances". But imagine an America between the wars whose streets were lit, from coast to coast, by wirelessly broadcast power, and revolutionary ways of generating electricity. Imagine something a

Steve Forbes has a suggestion:
How about Newt Gingrich as our high-commissioner-equivalent in Iraq? He is politically skillful. He knows history as well as anyone. He has the absorbent mind to learn quickly what he'd need to know about the area, both before and after he arrived on the scene. And experience has taught him how to be politically nimble, a necessity in dealing with the treacherous political and social currents over there.
Would this be the same Newt Gingrich who had to resign in disgrace because he so badly bungled his brief shot at Congressional leadership?

Cigarettes and comics were the cultural anchors for a lot of troops - the comforts of home - and both did well on the homefront as well. Not across the board, of course; there were plenty of comics that didn't sell well. There was also a captive audience that was growing up, and, post war, comics had the chance to grow up with them, and there were a couple attempts to.

"In Japan, the word "jouhou-jakusha" has recently become common.
Jouhou-Jakusha basically means old people (like myself) who can't get used to information technology, (unlike myself).
But there are many reasons for this.
For example, many older people have almost forgotten the romaji that they learned long ago in school. so they have trouble inputting Nihongo in romaji. As well, much computer technology such as click, cut/paste, delete, install, application, home page, address etc are mostly written in katakana.
Katakana is weird, romaji even weirder. The transliteration of Japanese words into Roman letters produces something that does not really represent how anything is actually said, let alone pronounced in different regions. "

Fate is mysterious in that way. But despite the joy that is Michal J. Fox's dad made up like a werewolf, I somehow would rather be someplace else. Really, I know, it's a suprise to me too. Tomorow is the oh so important Advisment Day, which means an advisor tells me, hey, ummmm don't fail and take some classes. Get a major. Don't fail. Typical stuff. So I have nothing to do tomorow. Which means an entire day, nothing to do, kooped up in this fun fun place. Woo. I never ever thougth I'd rather be in River Falls then well, any/someplace else.
I very much worry that someday the internet will run of of cool and keen things for me to post. Really, I just looked back, and saw I made over 30 posts today. That's a freaking lot. I didn't think I'd post here more then once a week, if even. So now I worry that I'll deplete the the cool factor far too soon. But alas, I can't now stop that I have started. My only regret is that I cannot yet think of as skathing and entertaining a commentary for the wonders of the media as good ol' basterd Ellis. A true pitty I'm not english.

"Timothy Bottoms, the actor who portrayed George W. Bush as a goofy frat boy two years ago on Comedy Central's ill-fated sitcom, 'That's My Bush!,' is in talks to play President Bush again - albeit in a more serious manner - for a new Showtime film about the days just after 9/11.
"'DC 9/11' will be a behind-the-scenes look at Bush in the days following the terrorist attacks, according to the Hollywood Reporter. In the first few hours, Bush was ferried around the U.S. on Air Force One to several undisclosed military bases, but no one has ever said exactly where.
"The film's producers are also in talks with '24' star Penny Johnson (President Palmer's estranged wife, Sherry Palmer on the Fox thriller) to play National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice, and 'Star Trek' alum George Takei (Mr. Hikaru Sulu) as Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta."

Blake at 8:34:00 PM
I just woke up. needed sleep. Had a very real-seeming dream, especialy the second half.
So I'm in college, and Ian's devolped a box of some sort to rob a bank. We head into downtown Eau Claire (downtown looks a lot more sleazy at night, there's gambling, houses of ill repute, strip joints, etc, etc,) late at night to test it out, but as we drive by the bank the box causes the aromored van to be full of money and Ian to disipere. I remember wearing solid black, one of those two-foot cape dealies, a robber hat, and a domono mask. I decide that th,e operation's gone bust, and I hear police sirens off the bridge. I decide not to chance the police finding me with a van full of money, and I drive the truck off the bridge onto the beachside of the river. This ruins the van's suspension, so pick up the armored car and run along the beach looking for a proper place to hide it. Just as I'm about to stash it under a weird green glowing box bridge (think: computer generated) Ian rises from the river as a half-man, half hiddious lobster-monster (think: a realistic Dr. Zoidberg, only with crusty green shell, covered with barnicals and moss, and a hidious malformed face. Ian lunges for the treasure, but throw the van at him to knock him back into the ocean, which seems to work, since he needs seawater to live anyway. I loose all the money, but oh well. I head back to my college dorm, where I hide the bank box behind a speaker, and age into and old man writing his memwars about the whole fiasco.
In my old age I'm an ambastor to new gunia, which is a tropical island seeming from the view outside my window. I leave and re-enter, only this time diffrent and young, like that blake was a diffrent person. Now the view outside the window shifts to a golf green, with blue hardly-cloudly skies. I look behind the speakers and find the small voice recorer with previous Blake's confession on it, but I decide to listen to it later, since my Dad is coming to visit me today! It's pretty keen. Did I mention that he's now a reporter, with the hat and the press card and everything? Anyway, he's staying with my Aunt Page, who seems to live in this weird verson of Menomnie, where all the building are on a giant golf coures, and nothing is more then one story tall. Anyway, we head out to the dean's office so I can go clear up some schedual muddlement, and who should we see while we're there? The President! Since George W. really likes being back on campus, (must remind him of his old college days) he grants my father a on the spot interview. I get to hang along. We go to the office, wich is like a nice sitting room, all in white. My father and the prez are sitting down, I'm standing by a bookcase, and there's a intimdateing bodyguard there too. The president seems like an alright guy, aside from the fact he clearly knows nothing about politics. What political views he does have are mishapen and ill-conceved. At one point my father mentions the commander in chief being a total asshole who can't do his job, and Bush agrees, totaly not realizing that he means it as an insult. I helpfuly chime in, "He means you," with a smile. The agent is not amused, so I turn and face the bookshelf. Georgie still doesn't get it, and says that he's got to run, but he's holding a big dinner party tonight, and so we should come and hang out. He leaves, and dad and I go out to the car, and drive out to pick up mom and aggie before the party starts (it's mid-afternoon by now). After that we head to the party that evening, pull into the garage, which is very tiny, maybe four cars fit into it, and even then, it's a tight squeze. But once we're outside the car, the garrage is a huge warehouse, filled with cars and people. Unfourtantly, everyone has to pee really bad, and there's only one bathroom, and it's sign-in. My dad get's there first, and we're all really uncomferrable. Then I wake up, and have to pee really bad.
I'll anylize that later.

golf, origins of. There is no firm evidence that golf originated in Scotland, as many people think. It may have well started in Holand, where a game much like golf, with a name (kolven) from which golf may be derived, was played on ice. It has even been suggested that the romans, who occupied Britian until A.D. 410, brought the game with them; it may be that a sport of theirs called panganica, apparently played with a leather ball stuffed with feathers and a bent stick, was the ancestor of golf. True or not, the image of Cicero trying to talk his way out of a sand trap does have some charm.
Also, oxygen is a poison.

Oh my, there are several things I hate about college, not the least of which is the fact that there is nothing comfey here. Sure, there are couches and whatnots about, but really, there seems to be a lack of any sort of comfert. It's driveing me mad. Of course, constent discomfert keeps me from sleeping, which is something I really enjoy it turns out. Oh, and I also enjoy not watching TV 24-7. It's very odd. On one hand, I love sleeplessness tv watching. On the other, I love a total lack of television and sleeping 14 hours a day. Dreams are so clear then. In the meantime, I stuck to figure out what I should do about next year. I'll register for classes, (IF I CAN), but I'd admit I really want to go out and strike it on the west cost, however poverty-stricken I may be. I should look into transfer classes or whatnot I can do. It would help me keep the laptop, which is a ripoff (a subject for a future rant[and which they keep closer tabs on then I thought]) and would give the illusion that I have goals and plans for the future. I've got plans for the future! I fully intend to eat some lunch sometime today, and maybe attend my second class today. See? I'm a plan-aholic.

Yes, yes, before you go and point it out, any story that starts out this way is almost certainly my fault.
Me: Can you tell me who the author of ______ is?
Retailer: I can't.
Me: Well, can you look it up?
Retailer: I can't. Our computers are down.
Me: Ah. Well, can I take a gander at your Books in Print.
Retailer: [Smirks] We don't have a list of all the books in print. We wouldn't be able to fit it in the store.
Me: In fact you would. We had these great big volumes and then later microfiche when I worked in a bookstore a number of years back.
Retailer: Do you know how many books that would be?
Me: Lots, I do believe you. But the fact remains that Books in Print is indeed a real thing.
Retailer: Well, we don't have it. We have computers instead.

Dream last night: I enter a dimly lit room, maybe 10x6, covered in wires and electronics. The room is set up like a computer lab, computers set up all around the edges, and in a table in the middle. They appere to be early 90's Macintoshes, although I see no apples anywhere. All the screens are dark. One is turned on. It's at this point I nodice a knee-high mist in the room, slowly getting thicker and opaque. The one screen that's on (it's a computer in the center table, the one 2ed away corner nearest to the door) Has just a little bit of green DOS text at the top of the screen followed by a blinking cursor. It says:
"Hello, I am a Demon."
I sit down at the computer and it reveals to me that it is the Demon of the Arch, the one the kept knocking down buildings, inspiering archatects to build arches with keystones, and thus begining the gothic era of archatecture. Aparently it moved to crashing computers, but someone has traped it inside this computer, held in check by the other computers. It has also been programed not to lie, although it admits that that may just be a well disguised lie. The screen goes blank, and the text reads:
"Would you like to play a game? Y/N?"
I must be very dumb so I hit "Y."
Imedeatly, I'm playing this great game, it's like an RPG/Megaman/Puzzle Thriller. It's great! The gameplay is unique and perfected. There's a perfect mix of combat, stealth and puzzle building. It's very engroseing. A little too engrosing. It's when I reach the indian stage I start to nodice things are wrong. I'm some sort of indian here, being persued through a forest by confederets and other indians it seems. I commeted some great injustice, perhaps. Or at least they think I did. So I'm running throught a tempret forest, and there's two armies arfter me. But I'm making progress. I don't know why, but I've got superhuman speed, refelxes to make a mongoose cry. I'm leaping over small trees and streams. I'm increadbly tough, I can topple a horse with rider, or lift up small bolders. Maybe I'm some sort of shaman, or just a great warrior. The chase goes on for quite some time, and if I could describe it better, I would make a great action scene, sort of a Matrix in the woods type thing. I reach a clearing up a hill. I make a break for it, knowing that if I can get to the tight woods on the other side, they won't be able to follow on horseback, and I'm far to quick to catch without. About halfway up the hill, I realize that they probaly could follow me, and that there's now way I'll make it there in time anyhow.
For some reason, I decide to to acess the internet (after all, this is just a computer game) and buy a book on Samurai and Japan's Culture on Amazon.com. Suddenly, everyone is transformed into a Japanese archtype, and I into a Ronin. At the top of the hill, there is a small shrine to the gods, which I go to to honorably commit seppiku, to satsify the angery villiage that is chasing me. I choose a young boy, looks a little like the kid from Lone Wolf and Cub, to be my second. Right before the act begins, I'm gone and I'm the little boy now instead.
Then I make it to the next level.
There's a couple more levels, all less clear, none running so long as that one. I'm more aware now, I know that the demon has traped me in the computer so he can make it out first into the other computers, then into the real world. Each compuer in that room represents a level, and now that I beat the first one, the demon can start beating other levels, so I've got to follow his trail, and race him to the last computer in the room, because if he gets out of the network before I do, then he can trap me in there forever, just like he once was. I run into Ian and Nik and Gus along the way. We lose Nik in a Mairo-type game in the sewer. There's a few ninja turtle stages. We nearly die playing a game called Blaster Master, which seems to be a combination Tetris/Space Invaders. Ian and Gus are reveled to be computer constructs of my imagination along the way, and are later possed by the demon. I trap them inside, and leap out of the network, trapping the Demon in the three computer opposite from the first one.
The I woke up.

from fraction: "The Bush press conference to me was like a mini-Alamo for American journalism, a final announcement that the press no longer performs anything akin to a real function. Particularly revolting was the spectacle of the cream of the national press corps submitting politely to the indignity of obviously pre-approved questions, with Bush not even bothering to conceal that the affair was scripted.
Abandoning the time-honored pretense of spontaneity, Bush chose the order of questioners not by scanning the room and picking out raised hands, but by looking down and reading from a predetermined list. Reporters, nonetheless, raised their hands in between questions-- as though hoping to suddenly catch the president's attention.
In other words, not only were reporters going out of their way to make sure their softballs were pre-approved, but they even went so far as to act on Bush's behalf, raising their hands and jockeying in their seats in order to better give the appearance of a spontaneous news conference.
Even Bush couldn't ignore the absurdity of it all. In a remarkable exchange that somehow managed to avoid being commented upon in news accounts the next day, Bush chided CNN political correspondent John King when the latter overacted his part, too enthusiastically waving his hand when it apparently was, according to the script, his turn anyway."

There's a great store in St. Paul(?) called AxMan's supplies. Besides being stocked with everything you could ever need to make something else, electronic or otherwise; and it's wonderfuly kind staff, It's also filled with some of the most amazing things ever be seen by human eyes. Cotton Candy Robot. But what I really want is the 5' tall 70's-era backlit NBC peacock display. I want it. Bad. I've got a vision, a vision where I sit in my room, which now contains fake wood paneling all over, shag carpet, framed photos of me shaking hands with old celeberities on the walls, a giant oak desk, and behind it, behind where I sit, is the peacock. I'm wearing a tweed-suit with a comb-over, and I always pretend to be the president of NBC. And that it's 1979. I'm also certfiably insane. It's a great vision.

Superheros in Turkish Cinema "Inspired mostly by American Marvel, DC Comics and American TV series, not only were superheroes directly adapted to Turkish films, but totally authentic ones were created as well, even if they were not exactly superheroes -- they just wandered around in outrageous outfits and masks
These films were anachronistic in the truest sense of the word. There was no sense of time and place. The superheroes got to fight Vikings, mummies, Amazons, the Mafia, aliens, Byzantines and American Indians. Dominant images of popular culture were incorporated into these films without any regard for historical accuracy, political correctness or simple common sense

So I was watching Kevin Smith's Clerks the other day, and saw the orginal Sundance Film ending, which brings a whole new meaning to "I'm not even suppose to be here today!" It really made it a good indie movie, and heaped a ton of sympathy and symbolism (sympatism?) onto Dante. After all, he had spent so long afraid of initiating change, and finialy was about to quit his shitty job, get an education, and do all the things he wanted to do, but got dead instead. ON the other hand, if he had not come into work today, he may very well have stayed there till he was old and full of regret. So which would have been better, getting shot right before you turned your life around, or living mundanly forever? The best option is probaly getting a short-lived Animated show that gets canceled right away. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Sweet Susen Bitchin' Anthony! Two words: Rock Opera! Robin Hood and King Art: Friends Forever! And this week is the Nightmare time...
Lots of things to talk about before I vanish for the week. I'll be back for the weekend, a well needed return, but the road there will be quite hellish. My Speech is due on Thurs, my only English test on Friday, and I'm going to have to fit a couple art events in there as well. I know all my more capable friends are reading this, and thinking what a pansy I am, but I remind them that due to a temporal chronomater accident, I experiance one second for every three. It's a 200 point gurps disadvantage, I think. It SHOULD be, at least. Maybe it's just that damn moose on my wall. It stares at me all day. With it's haunting moose eyes. *Brrrrrrrrrr*
Clone High is much funnier then it's pilot episode would make you think, and it's quite funny. I was just worried that it would turn into a full-out angst fest, rather then a properly exicuted paradoy of such. Besides, it had a rock opera with Jack Black. Hard to beat. And the theme song is quite catchy.
Now to Sarah, Japan is so infatuated with the small wireless communication meme, it's almost impossable to comprhend. The amount of ambiant radiation that must be in the area of Tokyo is off the charts. Less then atomic bomb sites have today. Not that I'm one of those silly "Cell phones will kill your brain!" people, passing all those laws and whatnot. Not that Japan has such laws. Now, the thing of the matter is, many of those devices, use the wireless frequancy of 5.8 ghz, which is a frequancy that has been discovered to react and emit from some parts of the brain (not strongly, of course). So if you walk into a wireless district (Like say, STOUT UNIVERSITY), you've hypothetcily got all kinds of computer data beaming into your brain, all the time. There's no bad side effects, "of course", but think of the possibilities if you would hook up the interaction between the two! You could be free-sorceing thoughts, or on the downsides, get punished for thinking copyright things. It opens up quite a jar of pickles.
We can't trust France. We clame not to trust N. Korea 'cause they build a atom bomb power plant, but we're just fine with France drilling past the crust of the earth to make a geo-thermic energy sorce. Thing is, that's a great idea, clean, efficient, almost limitless. But I don't trust the french to do it. In a week france will be amok with Lava Men from their lava kingdom deep underground, where they will rise and keep quoteing Jerry Lewis and say "Sacri Blue!" or whatever.
My eyes are hurting all the time.
All the episodes of futurama are found, and almost all of clone high (eps 11 and 13 are missing). Must remember marathon sometime. Use mad planning skills.
Speaking of planning, I know that I'm about to make something cool. Or bad. I've been packratting odd things for the last month, and I don't know why. Hmm.
Oh, and all my IM stuff died this week. Might be some new school policy, I don't keep up with those as much as I should. If contact is needed, use my dear ol' e-mail, or call me useing the tela-phone device. Edison built the tellaphone out of an idea he had to communicate with the dead. Odd, but very cool.
I wonder what my speach should be about? Maybe conspericies. Illuminati? Hmmmmm...
I'd really like to run some gaming when I get back, but I don't know what to do. I really don't feel much like being a player, aside from makeing characters, and I'm too tired (read: lazy) to do the backround info I'd need for either the Mage:Space campaign or the SuperPunk (CyberHero?) Campaigns. Maybe I'll dig up my notes on Project Sandman...

My dreams are never this clear. Something bad is going to happen. To me, this isn't some Weird War commentary, even tho there are about 10 signs hanging out of windows here that say "INVADE IRAQ", and that's just in my Hall. Personaly? You're not allowed to make such thoughts without a higher security clearance. (I almost wrote something far more meaningful and almost angsty, but caught myself a sentance in. whew!)
Lots of good movies coming out this summer. Bulletproof Monk, Hulk, L of Extrodnary Gents, 's all looking good. More good stuff on the way, Next two years will bring us Dr. Strange, Ghost Rider, Thor, Luke Cage, and just about every marvel property under the sun. Now I was wondering about why this was, and as much as I'd like to go into sub-culture hero memes, I've actualy started thinking that's just happy syncronisity. I think right after the first big comic book movie of this epoch (x-men? matrix?) some marketing excutive though about how he'd need no market research, no screenplay, the very fact that it has an audince cuts out dosens of steps in the movie making process, and leaves you more money to make even MORE money, which you can use to build a pool filled with gold dubbloons in your backyard. your backyard made of solid gold.
No Cap tho. Odd, and I'm sure no one will agree with me, but I think he'd be good right now. No one could do the film justice, it'd either be too right-wing preachy, or left-wing righious. No one could really write the kind of script I'd like for it, not even Ellis and Morrosion. I always really liked cap, could be cause my first real reading of him was some of mark waids stuff, great solid hero action. Cap was true blue fighter, without corruption, despare, and just carred around a sheld to throw at people (fanboys may cry, but I LIKED the energy shield); and a great role model. Waid knows his stuff. Hear he's writeing Fantastic Four, great for him. I'm sure it's his style, I may check it out sometime.

So I've nodiced a returning image in all of my dreams of late. They have all included the cast of Cheers to some degree. I've decribed the Cliff and Norm dreams below, and this night I had another odd, odd dream. The goverment has developed a kind of Black Ops space shuttle after the demise of NASA, it's a high-tech extreamly manuvrable ship for it's size. Imagian the current shuttle, with an old apolo saturn booster rocket attached to the bottem. Now streamline the whole thing, make the wings a little bigger, paint it black with white trim and green and yellow highlights. It's all set for take off, and the night before the secert launch, the compound is empty. Kirk is driving us there in what looks like a VW Bug on the inside, and Nik's van on the outside. Yeah, I typed that right. He's drivieng like a madman, swerving. driveing in the wrong lane, it's crazy for kirk to be driving like this. When we get there, Norm and Cliff sneak into mission control, and Sam and I are going to take the shuttle. How us taking the shuttle is going to help us remains unknown, but I know we don't intend to fly it into space, just to a diffrent location. We take off without too much of a problem, although Cliff and Norm are just drinking beer in the control room, after all, they don't know how to work all that stuff! So me and Sam are flying the shuttle over the coastline now, and another ship enters the airspace. Some kind of souped-up goverment black-ops jet! We're screwed! It fires a few warning shots at us. The pilot is a World War One German Baron, with snidly whiplash handlebar mustash, cackleling maddly. But luckly, a women in a figher jet comes flying in to save us, delaying the Baron long enough that he needs to refuel, and giving us a chance to escape. Sometime later, me and Sam are flying the Shuttle Jet again, this time over the mountans, but we've been ratted out, and the Baron is there again, this time with some sort of half-robot half-jet, and the women (she looks a little bit like a short haired nikol kidman) is easly defeated. Now for some reason, I'm not in a panic, I know what to do, or rather what's going to happen. Knowing that live and fate move in circles, I instruct Sam to fire on his fuel tank, and he does, causing all the fuel to drain out, so he has to retreat once more. Odd, but we make it to the new hiding place as well.
Now when I brought this up today, I'm reminded that a rocket a phalic symbol, made even more so by Sam Malone driveing it. Intresting.

They're all talking about what comic to do next, how to get some free publisity, and at one point, some one brings up, "Hey, westrens are back in! We've still got the copyrights to a bunch of marvel old west comic heros from the 50s, right?" Some one glances in a folder, "Yeah, we've got apache black, ghost rider, rebel, and rawhide kid." Some young turk at the end of the table outbursts, "Rawhide Kid? That's so...gay!"

So Ian, gus, and I are standing in the middle of a road in the barren New Mexico landscape, sun high in the sky. Ian's holding an old train lantren, and I know right off that this is a wishing lamp, genie and all. It's one of those dreams that begins at the end of dream, where you really don't remember what happned eairler, you just know it did. There's something not too far away, it looks like a collapsed bomb shelter or somesuch. we just walked from there. I know it was just a cover for some huge secert instalation where the three of us just escaped from all kinds of danger and adventure. We're standing on the side of the road, wating for a semi or somthing to stop by so we can hitch a ride. Ian's figuring something out in his head.
"Man, what a crazy adventure that was!" gus says.
"Hey," says Ian, "Gus used all of her wishes, and I used all of mine, the Docter used two, and you only used two..."
"Blake, what'd you use your third wish for?"
Me: "Oh, nothing..."
At which moment, K.I.T.T. drives up, and the voice of Mr. Phenney asks me to get in, and the door opens. Ian and gus's mouths drop in shock. I put on my shades, climb in, and drive off into the sunset.

This mourning I set my sterio to play the Altered Beast Reimx by DJ Pretzel, as a little exparment into what will get me up with the least difficulity in the mourning. There's nothing quite like wakeing up to Zeus demanding you "RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE" followed by a heavy breakbeat. Useing an average scale of alertness and comfert, I deem the idea a sucess. Although it does have the noted side effect of making me smash blocks, gather blue power-ups, turn into a were-wolf, and maul hoards of zombies. A fair trade, I'd say.
