| MattH | 'Lo all |
| DeathIsYourArt | And wow did I waste an enormous amount of time watching the extras on the extended LTOR |
| DeathIsYourArt | HI HARRIS |
| DeathIsYourArt | ow was work? |
| MattH | Tiring |
| DeathIsYourArt | How* |
| DeathIsYourArt | awww sorry |
| MattH | Our corporate offices have decide to meddle in some of the stuff we do. |
| FiatLux | Hey Matt. |
| FiatLux | We were waiting for you :) |
| MattH | I'm flattered ;-) |
| DeathIsYourArt | We were saying naughty naughty things about you too |
| MattH | So how is that different from any other chat? |
| *** Elais (~marlowe@host-174-102-220-24.midco.net) has joined channel #thesuccubusclub |
| MattH | Hiya CM |
| FiatLux | Ok DIYA, you had the plastic wrap and I was getting the oil right? |
| Elais | I always forget to come in here |
| DeathIsYourArt | And the handcuffs, and there was one other thing, but my mind wandered to naughty places and I forgto what it was |
| FiatLux | I remembered for once. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Hi Elias |
| Elais | hi Matt, DIYA, Fiat |
| DeathIsYourArt | Everyone feel free to vote in the Golden Fangs. People are ignoring the time frame anyways |
| FiatLux | Don't mind us, we were just teasing Harris |
| MattH | So how are you all coping...it has been what? 3 weeks now? |
| DeathIsYourArt | I watched the entire season last week |
| DeathIsYourArt | And I have been occupied with the golden fangs and my new cat |
| MattH | That's one way of coping. Notice anything that you didn't pick up the first time around? |
| Elais | I'm doing okay now |
| DeathIsYourArt | Lots of stuff |
| MattH | A fresh feline - wonderful. |
| DeathIsYourArt | yep, lucky number 7 |
| FiatLux | My cat attacked my head this morning. She's so cute ;) |
| Elais | I only tape some of the Angel eps at the beginning |
| MattH | I didn't tape any of the Angel eps this season. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I downloaded them and burned them to VCD |
| MattH | I used to do that...but I never seem to rewatch Angel. |
| DeathIsYourArt | This season I did |
| *** Signoff: FiatLux (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) |
| MattH | I am looking for the Golden Fang awards....you did a nice job DIYA. |
| DeathIsYourArt | oh thank you |
| MattH | Heh--I didn't know they had free form processors...I do all my form processing myself... |
| Elais | I still haven't watched all of my season three angel dvds |
| DeathIsYourArt | It is virtually the same as last years. Candy was a big help! I had problems with my server, so having something to work with made the whole process a lot less painful. I only ended up using Angelfire because sympatico pissed me off |
| DeathIsYourArt | And you know CGI then Harris? I don't... |
| DeathIsYourArt | One day maybe but I didn't have enough time to learn it for this |
| MattH | I use PHP....could puzzle out Perl if I spent a lot of time, I suppose. |
| MattH | I haven't even watched my Angel S2 DVDSs.. Haven't bought S3 yet. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Give me hardware or any program and I will tackle the thing no-problen, but programming and webdesign are another issue with me. I have limited programming knowledge. I had to take a java course in University (hated it) and a visual basic class in college (uninteresting). and as for webdesign, I just never had the time or an idea to start with. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I needed motivation adn a direction. This gave me one |
| MattH | Java sucks....I like object-oriented programming, but they go overboard. If I do stand-alone programs, I generally use Delphi. |
| MattH | Mostly it has just been Access and web-work lately. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I have been trying to make myself build a web page for months now. I want to learn how to put together a really really nice one. I just can't decide on the content. And therefore, i don't get around to it |
| MattH | Finally watched the two eps of Wonderfalls I downloaded...I actually enjoyed them....apparently the series did get better. |
| MattH | I had that problem with the first version of LaunchPad Zero. I did the shell and layout, put it up (this was '99, IIRC) and then realized I had nothing to say. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Didn't you want to beat that kid though? |
| DeathIsYourArt | I thought that the kid was great but I would have kicked the crap out of him |
| MattH | I thought he was really funny. I could understand why the other people might have wanted to beat on him. |
| MattH | It wasn't until I got into reading and converting fanfiction that I realized I did have stuff to put on the web. |
| DeathIsYourArt | The fack that he blew up the car made me laugh |
| DeathIsYourArt | fact* |
| MattH | That was funny. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Waste of a nice car though |
| MattH | Liked the rocking trailer scene. |
| DeathIsYourArt | LOL |
| DeathIsYourArt | The only thing that got me was... where would they go from there? They have already put the love interest together with Jaye. So the only place to hit her next is her job. If she got a better job, the sets would change and she would have no where but down to go... see this is why I don't think it could have gone beyond one season |
| MattH | Still don't know if I'll buy the Wonderfalls DVDs. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I'll buy them, iw ant to see the full 13. I want to see if Heidi shows up and steals Jayes guy |
| MattH | While Jaye was interesting the last two episodes, I still don't particularly like the character. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I don't care about her as much as I would like. But in that last episode she is ME! It was creepy. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I need to go read the transcripts for the other episodes. I want to know if her brother got dropped. He wasn't in the credits for the last one |
| MattH | I didn't check the credits. |
| MattH | Liked his interaction with the shrink. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I know. I loved that the shrink turned it around on him |
| DeathIsYourArt | I want that little monkey with the book |
| MattH | The note was great - "Schizophrenic" |
| MattH | Plus the books spelling "Cow Talk" |
| DeathIsYourArt | well come on, he is theologian athiest??? I would think bi-polar at the very least |
| Elais | the wonderfalls dvds are quite a ways away from being done |
| Elais | I think think the earliest time they could be released would be at the end of this year |
| DeathIsYourArt | Just in time for christmas |
| Elais | they probably will be doing the commentaries, extra stuff etc |
| MattH | I can easily an atheist studying theology |
| MattH | Not too mention a 10 minute rant at Fox.... |
| DeathIsYourArt | I can see an athiest studying theology on their own but getting a masters in comparative religion strikes me as a bit odd |
| Elais | what kind of job would you get? |
| Elais | at some kind of think tank? |
| DeathIsYourArt | Fox will not let them release a 10 minute rant...unfortuantley. That might have been funny. Only once though. That would be an easter egg that you never go back to |
| MattH | At a university, I presume |
| Elais | i still haven't got the firefly dvds |
| DeathIsYourArt | me neither...no money |
| Elais | I liked the show, but probably not enough to buy the dvds |
| DeathIsYourArt | It might be the first set that I have had to pay for myself. My family keeps buying the other dvd packages for me (YAY) |
| MattH | I doubt that I will get them...the show just wasn't my cup of tea, |
| DeathIsYourArt | It wasn't really mine either. Although now that they are repeating on Space, I am enjoying them more the second time around |
| DeathIsYourArt | I hope the movie will turn out well |
| MattH | Yeah...be nice if it was a blockbuster like Star Trek: The Motion Picture. |
| DeathIsYourArt | probably not, but as long as the content is there... |
| Elais | dont' think it will be quite that successful |
| MattH | I know...I am just hopin' |
| Elais | they are shooting it now, so it might be awhile before we see it |
| DeathIsYourArt | the only reason i care if it does well in the box office is so that Joss can get some money into his future projects |
| MattH | Why I want it to do well also - so Joss will have future projects greenlighted. |
| MattH | Hopefully some sort of Buffy/Angel spinoff. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I would really love a series of movies that show the lives of past slayers. Ones not in the books. A 2 hour movie showing their life and death (because they all die). Different time periods, different villians, no happy endings , no sequels |
| DeathIsYourArt | Just a series of movies |
| MattH | I am not really interest in the past. I want to see what comes next... |
| MattH | Just finished reading Fray...it doesn't really give away much, unfortunately. |
| DeathIsYourArt | I just love the flashbacks too much to let them go. I still have yet to get Fray |
| DeathIsYourArt | I have ideas for past slayers...maybe should just write them on my own.... attempt fan fiction as it were |
| DeathIsYourArt | Something to think about |
| MattH | It was interesting...I plan on ordering the trade paperback from amazon. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Then that will be my next purchase |
| Elais | i have the original fray issues |
| Elais | I'm not into comics, really |
| MattH | I have the first 6...the last 2 I read electronically. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Purhaps the Fray movie should be next |
| DeathIsYourArt | However, we will all know what happens, so nothing new there |
| MattH | I want to know what happened between the end of Angel and the beginning of Fray. |
| DeathIsYourArt | A lot! |
| DeathIsYourArt | he hehe |
| DeathIsYourArt | Something had to decrease the line back to one slayer |
| MattH | Fray never mentions the multitude of slayers at all.... |
| DeathIsYourArt | Maybe...even thought he power was transfered, the line still depends only upon Faiths death |
| DeathIsYourArt | Perhaps no one else can pass it on |
| MattH | Maybe....I won't spoil you regarding what was said in Fray. |
| DeathIsYourArt | grumble... being a non-spoiler whore sucks |
| MattH | I believe the term should be "spoiler celibate" or something like that. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Oh well, looks like I will have to buy Fray immediately then |
| DeathIsYourArt | Spoiler celibate sounds like a disease |
| MattH | It is $13.97 |
| MattH | On Amazon |
| DeathIsYourArt | I'm in Canada so it will be slightly more actually |
| DeathIsYourArt | But thank you |
| DeathIsYourArt | I doubt that my comic shop will have it. |
| Elais | actually, from what I've heard |
| Elais | next season of Angel might have provided the bridge |
| DeathIsYourArt | There used to be a great store near where my friend lives and you could find everything in it. Ad the guys working there had no problem or bias about girls buying comics. However, with it gone, i have to go down town to a store where they snicker at me for even looking at the buffy merchandise |
| MattH | Mebbe...I have only read a few things about what was supposed to happen on Angel next season. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Joss may still find a way to let us know. he might enjoy his comic writing enough to do a virtual season 6 in comic form |
| DeathIsYourArt | Long shot but you never know |
| MattH | Who knows...maybe the animated series will come back , be so successful that he will follow up that way. |
| Elais | oh well.... |
| Elais | all we can do is wait |
| MattH | Well...we can bitch while we wait, too. |
| MattH | ;-) |
| Elais | Joss got his movie for now and that 'Astonishing X-Men' run |
| DeathIsYourArt | He can't really. The cartoon will be for kids. And ME is saying that they will get the cartoon on one way or the other, so that is promising |
| Elais | the other writers have already moved on to other projects |
| MattH | He could do a more adult-oriented cartoon down the road. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Doesn't mean that they can't be tracked down and used freelance |
| MattH | Yeah...but Joss was the core.... |
| DeathIsYourArt | Always |
| Elais | better get going |
| Elais | I fly out tomorrow for the Moonlight Rising con |
| MattH | Oh....have fun... |
| MattH | We expect a complete report |
| Elais | i will certainly try |
| DeathIsYourArt | yes have a wonderful time. Tell James hi for me |
| Elais | will do, DIYA |
| Elais | see you all next week |
| *** Elais has left #thesuccubusclub |
| DeathIsYourArt | YAY bye bye |
| DeathIsYourArt | LornesLadyLove forgot again this week... I have to check onher the next time she is online. And see if she is okay |
| MattH | Yeah...I am sorry she won't be able to attend Moonlight Rising. I know she really wanted to go. |
| DeathIsYourArt | It is probably better that she not go. She was really uncertain and upset for a while there |
| DeathIsYourArt | Besides, this way she will save lots fo money |
| DeathIsYourArt | do hope that everyone has a great time though. One of the girls working on MR has been through hell these last few months, and she deserves for it to go off without a hitch |
| DeathIsYourArt | I have yet to go to any of the cons. Have you been? |
| MattH | No Buffy conventions...unless you consider the Wolfram and Hart Annual Revue. |
| MattH | The last con I went to was Origins in 1991. |
| DeathIsYourArt | That could be considered a con... what was origins? |
| MattH | A role-playing game convention |

| DeathIsYourArt | For what game did you go for? |
| DeathIsYourArt | D&D, vampires the masquerade etc? |
| MattH | Lots of them...met the designers of Ars Magica there... |
| MattH | This was preVampire |
| MattH | Pre-Magic the Gathering... |
| MattH | The "Good Ole Days" |
| DeathIsYourArt | I have no idea when Vampires started. I was never appart of RPG's |
| DeathIsYourArt | There was a fantasy RPG club in my college, and they were in a constant battle with the christian fellowship. It was fantastic |
| MattH | I never got into the World Of Darkness...thought I did buy Mage: The Ascenscion. |
| MattH | Yeah...fundies are fun. |
| MattH | When I starting playing D&D in the late 70s, there were a couple of kids whose parents were fundamentalists and wouldn't let them play. |
| DeathIsYourArt | There was this great incident where the christian fellowship left a bible in the fantasy club office and they put it on the shelf under fiction. And as pay back they then put an anarchist bible in the fellowships office, and the christian freaked out and brought in a priest to exorcise the office. |
| DeathIsYourArt | My friends and I (who were geeks in our own right) made fun of both sides though. Because the RPG's got really ridiculous at times. There is no reason to wear battle armor to class...ever...unless you live in Gaza |
| DeathIsYourArt | he he he... I never saw the 70's |
| MattH | I was/am too poor to buy armor.... |
| DeathIsYourArt | most hobby shops will sell you the kit to build your own chain mail |
| MattH | Too much effort. |
| DeathIsYourArt | My sisters boyfriend is making himself a suit of it |
| MattH | I would like to have a nice Claymore though. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Then you don't really want it then do you |
| MattH | Considering how mechanically inept I am...making it would probably cause me serious bodily injury. |
| DeathIsYourArt | If I had the money I could get one really easily. There is a a shop here called Excalibor (french spelling) that sells swords, and then there is the highland games that travel canada every year |

| DeathIsYourArt | Hi Amy |
| MattH | Hiya Amy |
| Amy_Madison | hiya |
| Amy_Madison | surpised this is still open considering the time |
| DeathIsYourArt | We don't notice it when the club isn't on |
| Amy_Madison | ah |
| MattH | Yeah...what she said |
| DeathIsYourArt | How are you handling Wednesdays Amy? |
| MattH | So how are you coping Post-Angel? |
| Amy_Madison | not watching any shows anymore |
| Amy_Madison | myybe when TC's back |
| DeathIsYourArt | Did either of you see what Jordan Levin said to US TV guide about what his viewers want? He bascally repeated exactly what the Joss fans have been shouting at him for 2 months but applied it to one tree hill and crap |
| MattH | Never watched One Tree Hill |
| MattH | Or the OC |
| DeathIsYourArt | OC is fox |
| DeathIsYourArt | isn't it? |
| Amy_Madison | i thinnk |
| MattH | Beats me...I never watched ;-) |
| DeathIsYourArt | I know my 14 year old cousin watches it... darn she isn't online to tell me |
| MattH | Google shows Fox |
| DeathIsYourArt | Can I just say that 14 year olds having long term boyfriends was so much more comfortable to me when it was my friends and not my baby cousin, who I used to baby sit. |
| MattH | Heh...my niece will be 14 in November...she apparently has a boyfriend. My brother seems to be handling it well. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Your brother is a brave man |
| MattH | Especially since my niece is drop-dead gorgeous... |
| DeathIsYourArt | okay stop right there , youjust became the creepy uncle |
| MattH | Please.... |
| DeathIsYourArt | You are not keeping any of this for the website right? |
| MattH | Of course.... |
| DeathIsYourArt | okay then I will nto say what I was going to, to explain why my cousins situation makes me uncomfortable |
| MattH | I can delete it out if you wish.... |
| DeathIsYourArt | nah, I'll tell you icq sometime or something |
| DeathIsYourArt | not really important, and not somethign I should actually be talking about online anyways |
| DeathIsYourArt | So...Amy tell us something funny |
| DeathIsYourArt | Hey Amy, go vote |
| Amy_Madison | nothing going on so can thing of nothing |
| DeathIsYourArt | I want people to vote while I am awakw so that I dont' have to sort through a stack of ballots when I first get up... my e-mail account is going to hate me |
| MattH | Well, there are only 523 or so members of the mailing list...so it won't be that bad. |
| DeathIsYourArt | According to Candy people spread the word. I should expect around 2000 |
| MattH | Really? Is that what she got last time? |
| DeathIsYourArt | yep |
| MattH | Of course she announced the GF on the air too. |
| DeathIsYourArt | actually she said 1800 |
| DeathIsYourArt | true... |
| DeathIsYourArt | I'll see soon enough |
| *** Signoff: Amy_Madison ((null)) |
| MattH | I actually voted this year....forgot to do it in time last year. |
| DeathIsYourArt | Ya I already entered your votes into my database |
| DeathIsYourArt | I'm still ahving fun with this...that will die off probably around Saturday or something |
| MattH | You are manually entering the votes? Hmmm.... |
| DeathIsYourArt | ya the form processor doesn't tabulate anything it just sends you the frm results |
| DeathIsYourArt | form* |
| DeathIsYourArt | I'm being impartial, I promise |
| MattH | Not what I was thinking...I was just wondering if I could automate it. |
| MattH | What are you using for a database? |
| DeathIsYourArt | A modified version of filemaker, that a friend (or former friend) made |
| DeathIsYourArt | Plus, I have a spreadsheet version as well , in case want to verify the results at a later time |
| MattH | Hmmm...don't know filemaker. Could probably do it in Access or Excel though. |
| DeathIsYourArt | filemaker is originally a mac based prgram. A lot like access |
| DeathIsYourArt | yep, my spreadsheet is in excel |
| MattH | Just have you past the entire text of an e-mail into a form and let if sort out where stuff goes. |
| DeathIsYourArt | not exacltly |
| MattH | Send me a sample e-mail (mine will do) and a copy of your excel spreadsheet and I will see what I can come up with this weekend. |
| DeathIsYourArt | though I appreciate the offer, I kind of like doing it by hand |
| MattH | Well...okay...thought you may feel differently 500 votes from now. ;-) |
| DeathIsYourArt | besides, the program would have to over look all the stuff that the form processor puts at the top and bottom of the e-mail. The e-mail I get looks a lot like the one you will get as verification of your choices. I tested everything before I sent out the e-mail. |
| DeathIsYourArt | If at any time I feel over whelmed or sick of it then I will send you a pleeding e-mail, until then, I accepted the job and I should do the work |
| MattH | How Un-Jaye-like of you... |
| DeathIsYourArt | I have my better days |
| DeathIsYourArt | When I have a job, I work at it. I complain too, but I do the work. It is the whole looking for a job thing that I slack at. And I am mostly like Jaye in the relationship challenged sort of way |
| DeathIsYourArt | Time minear hinted that we would see more of Jaye's vulnerability over the later 13 epys. That would probably make me care about her more |
| DeathIsYourArt | Time Minear...I kind of like that name better than Tim |
| MattH | It has some depth and majesty to it that Tim lacks |
| DeathIsYourArt | I would probably just end up calling him Time my-dear instead |
| DeathIsYourArt | ohh people are voting again ..he he he I know everyones secrets now Mwahahahah |
| MattH | Well...I am going to have to call it a night...I can hear my bed calling me...;-) |
| DeathIsYourArt | The voices again Harris? Not good! |
| DeathIsYourArt | Sleep well |
| DeathIsYourArt | bye bye |
| MattH | CYA Next week |
