| Elais | heyas matt |
| MattH | Hiya CM |
| Elais | the Vegas trip went pretty well |
| Elais | aside from developing blisters |
| MattH | I see you made it home ok |
| MattH | Blisters? Poor fitting shoes? |
| Elais | very long and very boring set of flights |
| Elais | don't know |
| Elais | walking a lot didn't help |
| MattH | It generally doesn't |
| Elais | the attendence at the Jacks or Better tournament was pretty small |
| Elais | maybe 20 or so people |
| MattH | Really? Was there room for more? |
| Elais | Anthony Montgomery, John Billingsley and Tim Russ were the Star Trek guys there |
| MattH | Eh - lesser characters |
| Elais | I think originally the number was around 100 |
| Elais | but a lot of people bailed to attend the Houston con |
| Elais | Anthony was very handsome |
| Elais | John was a pretty nice guy |
| Elais | they may not be the top stars, but they were great nevertheless |
| Elais | Tim Russ performed a number of his songs at the party |
| MattH | Tuvok sings? I didn't know that.... |
| Elais | he's not bad, but I'm not stampeding to get his cds ;-) |
| Elais | yeah..I think he has two cds out |
| Elais | google tim russ and you should get the site the cds are being sold on |
| Elais | I think there is a sample of his songs on the site as well |
| MattH | As long as he doesn't sing the "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" - Nimoy has that covered. |
| Elais | I would say his music is jazz/blues |
| MattH | I finally got around to watching Battlestar Galactica this weekend. |
| Elais | how did you like it? |
| MattH | Mixed feelings - it seemed more pessimisitic than the first one. |
| MattH | It is a good show, but I don't think it is great. |
| MattH | I think the actors playing Starbuck and Apollo are very bad; much inferior to the originals. |
| Elais | really? |
| Elais | a lot of people like Starbuck |
| MattH | She has *no* charisma... |
| Elais | don't remember much of the original, but this BG is definitely a lot more pessimistic |
| MattH | Interesting that the good guys are polytheistic (as far as I can tell) and that the bad guys seem to be monotheists |
| Elais | it's been renews and the new eps should be airing in July, I think |
| Elais | hadn't thought about that |
| MattH | They seem anti-tech too -strange for SF, but considering the change to the origin of the Cylons, somewhat understandable. |
| MattH | I have no idea what to think of Baltar. |
| Elais | Batlar is either a brilliant character or the worst character ever |
| MattH | Yeah - I keep wondering if he is nuts or the Cylons did something strange to him...maybe both. |
| Elais | I think general assumption is that he's got a chip in his brain |
| Elais | ever see Farscape? |
| MattH | A couple of eps...I couldn't get past the muppets. |
| Elais | then mentioning Harvey wouldn't do any good *g* |
| MattH | Probably not ...I didn't care much for the main character either. |
| MattH | I definitely like the new Dr. Who, though. |
| Elais | I'll probably have to track down a download of Dr Who |
| Elais | I've heard raves about it |
| MattH | tvtorrent.com |
| MattH | Or usenet |
| MattH | It is as good as the original - Eccleston is almost as good as Tom Baker. |
| Elais | aren't there 13 eps? |
| MattH | Yep - The first 4 have aired |
| Elais | Smallville doesn't suck tonight |
| MattH | I didn't think it sucked last week. |
| Elais | I had high hopes for it and they didn't all come crashing down *g* |
| MattH | What I noticed was the red jacket on top of the blue shirt - it seemed very supermany. The kryptonite ring foreshadowed the future too. |
| Elais | didn't notice that |
| Elais | good think I taped the episode |
| Elais | seems like there are barely a handful of good Smallville eps this season |
| MattH | There aren't a whole lot of standout eps, no. |
| MattH | The main plot are should have been collapsed into 5-6 eps all at the same time, I think. |
| Elais | the lana/witch plot should have never been created at all |
| MattH | Totally agree with you there. |
| MattH | I like Lana, but that is just silly. |
| MattH | What Smallville needs is a "big bad" - Lionel Luther was gelded this season, and Lex aint there yet. |
| Elais | yeah |
| Elais | wimpy evil this year |
| MattH | Jor-El as evil doesn't really cut it, either. |
| Elais | wow...Clark uses his brains for once |
| Elais | I'm really liking that Chloe knows |
| Elais | but isnt' telling Clark she knows |
| MattH | Yeah, but what she knows aint exactly the truth...I suspect she thinks Clark is a meteor-mutant. |
| Elais | that's good enough for me |
| MattH | I wish Clark had told Evil*Lex the truth...would have been interesting to see the look on his face. |
| Elais | another ep down |
| Elais | I'll be glad when this season is over |
| MattH | What'll they do next season? I know the University thing, but where will the meteor mutants come from then? |
| Elais | have no idea |
| Elais | heard that Clark and Lana are going to be staying in Smallville |
| MattH | Yeah, just reading that myself....what about Chloe? |
| Elais | Daily Planet I guess |
| MattH | As long as she is still a regular. |
| Elais | haven't heard official word that it will be renewed |
| MattH | It probably will... |
| Elais | get an guys for the D&D? |
| MattH | Posted a notice on a message board and have received one e-mail...have not replied yet. |
| Elais | no one is willing to D&D for food? |
| MattH | Too be honest, I haven't looked that hard... |
| Elais | ah, taking your time |
| MattH | Nah, just lazy. |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | I think I've pretty much used up my vacation time |
| Elais | there is a con or two in July or August |
| MattH | I haven't accumulated any yet.... |
| Elais | but I might still be paying off the credit card debt |
| MattH | Another one? |
| Elais | there seem to be a lot of different cons this year |
| Elais | motorcitybuffy con |
| Elais | the Angel Booster Bash |
| Elais | the Alternate Universe event |
| Elais | the Moonlight Rising Con |
| MattH | I've only heard of Moonlight Rising. |
| Elais | I think the Alternative Universe event is in Sacramento |
| Elais | yeah, the other ones seem to be first time conventions |
| Elais | then there is Dragoncon |
| MattH | Heard of Dragoncon too... |
| Elais | yeah, Dragoncon has been around for a long time |
| Elais | massive multi-fandom convention held in Atlanta |
| MattH | Yeah - John Ringo has mentioned it on his section of Baens Bar. |
| Elais | there is a con being held the end of next week in Denver |
| Elais | I'm debating whether or not to drive down there |
| Elais | watching Alias right now |
| MattH | Can you afford it? Even without flying, it seems they are rather pricey, what with hotel room stays an all. |
| Elais | well, I would stay only a day or so |
| Elais | my car is pretty comfy *g* |
| Elais | not sure if I would get busted for sleeping in it, though |
| MattH | I've done the sleeping in cars thing a couple of times...they tend to get cold. |
| Elais | http://www.starland.com/sf-sc/sf05/ |
| MattH | Hmm....Bill Shatner and Claudia Christian. |
| Elais | I'm interested in Dean Haglund |
| Elais | he was one of the guests at the Vegas thing |
| Elais | I'm also interested in Julian McMahon |
| Elais | I presume he's there because of the Fantastic four movie |
| MattH | I would thinks so. |
| Elais | I'm a fan of him as Cole on Charmed and as Christian on Nip/Tuck |
| MattH | Never seen the second and I avoid the first. |
| Elais | where else can you see Man on Doll action? |
| MattH | I'll pass ;-) |
| Elais | or a three way |
| Elais | or with transexuals? |
| MattH | Please ... I live just a few miles from Hollywood. |
| Elais | hmm the prices for the con aren't bad |
| Elais | I live thousands of miles from hollywood |
| MattH | Be grateful - lots of weirdos there. |
| Elais | plenty of weirdos here |
| Elais | we call them Republicans |
| MattH | No - those would be the *normal* people. |
| MattH | And on that note, I note my time is up...I'll see you next week. |
