| MattH | Hiya CM |
| Elais | hiyas Matt |
| Elais | I think I just discovered a new spoiler for Lost |
| MattH | Really? What? |
| Elais | they have been hinting at another character's death |
| Elais | i think it is the Korean guy who's gonna die |
| MattH | Eh. I heard that they are going to add another character - I want to know how they are going to do that, if they are on a deserted island. |
| Elais | could be that they aren't the only ones on the island |
| Elais | there was that crazy Nadia chick |
| Elais | or they could put that baby on miracle gro |
| MattH | Odds are the baby is walking & talking by the end of next season. |
| Elais | yeah |
| MattH | Either that, or it will be virtually unseen. |
| Elais | babies really drag shows down\ |
| MattH | Sitcoms mostly. Dramas might be able to ignore them. |
| MattH | Especially if it is an ensemble show. |
| Elais | I wouldn't think a baby on a deserted island would be much fun |
| Elais | after breast-feeding..what is it gonna eat? |
| MattH | Yeah...well, not much on a deserted island is much fun. |
| MattH | Crab? |
| Elais | however, they might figure out a way to get off the island |
| MattH | Then they wouldn't be Lost anymore. |
| Elais | heh |
| Elais | they would be Found |
| MattH | Yeah...and the show would be over. |
| Elais | watching Smallville |
| MattH | Any good? |
| Elais | clip show on Lost |
| Elais | amnesia plot |
| Elais | some dude shoots out kryptonite rays to wipe people's memories |
| Elais | Clark gets hit and Chloe has to teach him about his powers |
| MattH | Well, if she doesn't get hit Clark will probably know that she knows. |
| Elais | of course, he sees Lana for the 'first time' and his heat powers go off |
| Elais | I had a friend who watches the show an hour before I do |
| Elais | Chloe keeps her memories |
| Elais | Clark gets his memories back, but still doesn't know that Chloe knows |
| MattH | Eh - that sucks. Does she know that he doesn't know? |
| Elais | amnesia stories suck |
| Elais | I don't know *g* |
| MattH | Pretty much. |
| Elais | and they've used them so often on Smallville |
| MattH | Yeah...maybe kryptonite emits general low-level amnesia radiation, ala the Hellmouth. |
| Elais | that's probably right |
| Elais | so much weird stuff happens in Smallville |
| Elais | yet people remain very unaware |
| MattH | Yeah...they should call it Strangeville... ;-) |
| Elais | looks like there will be 10 more screenings of Serenity next week on May 5th |
| Elais | all in various cities |
| MattH | I saw - I am slowly catching up on Firefly, so I think I'll wait for the general release. |
| Elais | and they've all sold out, apparently |
| Elais | the nearest city to me is Denver and that is a 6+ hours drive from here |
| Elais | I'm not sure the screenings will be all that 'fair and balanced' since I figure most of the people who bought the tickets are Firefly nuts |
| MattH | I watched the trailer...Joss really does like gorgeous girls doing marital arts |
| Elais | I saw the trailer too |
| MattH | But I already knew that |
| Elais | someone once mentioned Joss must have a foot fetish because we see River's feet a lot |
| MattH | Maybe ... I haven't noticed if Summer Glau's feet are cutre or not...I am more of a hair guy. |
| Elais | really? |
| Elais | what do you like in hair? |
| MattH | Yep - long and brunette, mostly. |
| Elais | curly or straight? |
| MattH | Either... |
| MattH | It was the first thing I noticed about Eliza Dushku and Michelle Trachtenberg. |
| Elais | Faith's hair was pretty noticeable *g* |
| Elais | I notice Clark's hair a lot |
| MattH | He does have an excellent head of hair - much thicker than Chris Reeves. |
| Elais | Chloe's hair looks pretty good tonight |
| MattH | Kristin Kreuk has the best hair on the show...strangely, she really doesn't do anything for me, although she is technically beautiful. |
| Elais | they seem to have endless supplies of krytponite on this show |
| Elais | and in so many forms |
| MattH | In the first episode, there were a *lot* of meteors. |
| MattH | Of course, there was a lot of kryptonite in the comics, too, with little explanation of how it got there. |
| Elais | this ep is better than last weeks |
| MattH | I didn't care that much for Spirit, so it isn't much of a stretch |
| Elais | yeah, when you classify an ep as being just above lame |
| Elais | ooo, Lex has a shiny car |
| MattH | Goes with his shiny head /rimshot |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | at least they are ending the ep with Clark and Chloe and not Clark and Lana |
| MattH | I can do Clark/Chloe, I like it better than Clark/Lana |
| Elais | so do I |
| Elais | now I'm watching the Daily Show with a little bit of Alias thrown in |
| Elais | Jon Stewart is my TV boyfriend! |
| Elais | have you been working on your D&D? |
| MattH | Some ... I have two new players, so I will be starting up again in May. |
| MattH | How has work been? Still slow? |
| Elais | nope |
| Elais | it's ratcheting up |
| Elais | we finally go the go ahead to do work that should have been done several months ago |
| Elais | of course, now we have to catch up |
| MattH | That is the way it is always done - a day late and a dollar short. |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | glad to busy doing real work again |
| Elais | although I'm sure that in a month or so I will be sick of it |
| MattH | I got that. |
| Elais | such is the nature of work *g* |
| Elais | the whole circle of life |
| MattH | Well, ever since I took my new job, I have been swamped...tons of work. |
| Elais | will it take long to catch up? |
| MattH | Depends on what you mean by "catch up". The backlog has been cleared out, but the work itself is never ending. |
| Elais | well yeah, |
| Elais | we have a backlog too, but once that is caught up, the work will be less onerous |
| MattH | We may be getting a couple of new accounts, which will increase the workload dramatically. |
| Elais | gotcha |
| MattH | And any new people they hire would take months to bring on board. |
| Elais | true |
| Elais | funny |
| Elais | i was just thinking of the cube one row over from me |
| Elais | for a couple of months it was a guy |
| MattH | It took them about 3 months to hire me when the position came open. |
| Elais | I'd see him every day |
| Elais | then one day he was gone |
| Elais | and a blonde girl replaced him |
| Elais | I was thinking how long the blonde would last |
| Elais | why did it take them 3 months to hire you? |
| MattH | We have had a fair amount of turnover in the past 5 months or so. |
| MattH | Bureaucracy, plain and simple. |
| Elais | sheesh |
| Elais | I think it took only a couple days for me to get hired at my job |
| MattH | Yep - pennywise and pound foolish. |
| Elais | of course, one time it took less than an hour for me to be laid off |
| MattH | Yeah, layoffs are quick. |
| MattH | Quick to fire, slow to hire seem to be company motto's nowadays |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | did you rework your D&D stuff? |
| MattH | Not yet, unfortunately. |
| Elais | quick to stop, slow to start? |
| MattH | Yep, exactly ;-) Laziness would be a better way of phrasing it - I like to sleep in on weekends. |
| MattH | Also, I was busy cleaning off files from my hard drive. |
| MattH | The previous weekend was spent watching Battlestar Galactica. |
| MattH | I've given up on Harry Potter - A Chapter A Day...it was taking up too much time and energy, even though it was fun. |
| Elais | idd you watch the whole thing? |
| MattH | Galactica? Yeah. |
| Elais | change your mind any> |
| MattH | Nah... |
| MattH | It is a good, but not great SciFi show. |
| MattH | I much prefer the new Dr. Who. |
| Elais | I would probably prefer the new Dr Who |
| Elais | better get going Matt |
| MattH | It is on usenet. |
| Elais | so you've mentioned before |
| MattH | Yeah... see you next week, |
| Elais | but laziness runs in this chat room |
| MattH | ;-) |
