| Elais | no smallville tonight |
| Elais | but there is a two-hour lost |
| MattH | Ok - I still haven't haven't watched last weeks Smallville. |
| MattH | Season Finale of Lost? |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | seen the Sith movie yet? |
| MattH | Seen about half of it...I will probably catch it in the theatre this weekend. |
| Elais | half of it? |
| MattH | Due to the miracles of the internet, I watched about half last Thursday...I decided to wait until I can get to the theatre to see the rest. |
| Elais | ah, you're one of them criminals aren't you? |
| Elais | stealing food out of Lucas' mouth |
| MattH | Arrrggghhh...I be a vicious, criminal pirate...sailing the seas of bittorrent. |
| Elais | I'm not in a particular hurry to see the movie |
| MattH | I'm in no real rush...just that this weekend seems to be the best time for me. |
| Elais | evening or matinee? |
| MattH | Matinee, definitely...I'm cheap. ;-) |
| Elais | matinees are 5 bucks now |
| MattH | About 6 around here. |
| Elais | doing anything else this weekend? |
| MattH | May or may not be going to an ex-coworkers place to do some work on her computer. |
| MattH | Working on my D&D game. That is about it. |
| Elais | will the sessions be starting up soon? |
| MattH | What about you? |
| Elais | I think it might be lunch and a movie with my mom |
| Elais | my sister is taking the kids camping |
| MattH | Started on Saturday...had 6 people...went quite well. |
| Elais | kind of pathetic when the best date you've had in ages is with you mother |
| Elais | that's good |
| Elais | you've got a mix of old/new people then? |
| MattH | Yep 3 old and 3 new...the new people were the only ones who showed up on time ;-) |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | how do you usually handle newcomers to a regular session? |
| MattH | As quickly as possible ;-) |
| Elais | is work still hot and heavy? |
| MattH | It varies, though, depending on what is going on in the campaign and the various player backgrounds. It has been generally pretty easy to work new players due to nature of the campaign. |
| MattH | About the same...on Tuesday I am going down to San Diego with my boss to meet some of our clients. |
| Elais | how long will you be in San Diego? |
| MattH | Just a couple of hours... 4 1/2 hours each way to get there. |
| Elais | 4 and half hours to do a 2 hour meeting? |
| MattH | Yup...inefficient. |
| Elais | and typical |
| MattH | Flying would be worse, though... |
| Elais | get along with your boss fairly well? |
| MattH | Yeah - she is real fun to work for. |
| MattH | Plus, the person I replaced was a real lousy employee. |
| Elais | planning to bring along a book on tape/cd? |
| MattH | Nah...she is driving. |
| MattH | I might nap on the way....;-) |
| Elais | always a good idea |
| Elais | have you been to San Diego before? |
| MattH | Nah...bout far south as I have gotten is Anaheim |
| Elais | how about up north? |
| MattH | Oregon....about 30 years ago. |
| Elais | wow |
| MattH | Lost? |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | the blowed some guy up |
| Elais | I've flown to various cities for cons |
| Elais | never driven out of the state though |
| Elais | how about east? |
| MattH | New York and Texas |
| MattH | Back when I was interviewing for graduate schools. |
| Elais | I once rode with my mother and sister to see Mall of America |
| Elais | do you get any time off at work because of the holiday? |
| MattH | Yeah...probably get part of Friday off and all of Monday. |
| Elais | I believe I get monday off |
| Elais | wanna go to a con, but there are so many and they are all expensive |
| MattH | Hmmm...sounds like you are a con addict ;-) |
| Elais | heh...yeah |
| Elais | sigh... |
| Elais | the one I most want to go to is in England in October |
| MattH | Ouch...talk about expensive. |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | James Marsters is doing a reading of a play and performing a concert afterwards |
| Elais | damn UKers get all the good stuff |
| MattH | Do you like cats? |
| MattH | Cause I came across a site with some interesting cat stories.... http://home.earthlink.net/~kayshapero/FishTale.htm |
| Elais | cats are alright |
| Elais | oh boy, smart carts |
| MattH | Reminds me of a couple of the cats we had when I was growing up...nothing quite like what she describes, but pretty smart. |
| Elais | the cats we had growing up weren't exactly MENSA quality animals |
| MattH | We had a dog like that...half golden retriever and half irish setter - gorgeous dog without a brain cell in her head. |
| Elais | our dogs weren't much smarter |
| Elais | but they were alright |
| MattH | We had a lab mix that was really clever and a good watchdog. Also a Jack Russell terrier that was very clever... |
| Elais | I heard Jack Russells were unusually smart dogs |
| Elais | and quite a difficult dog to handle |
| MattH | Charlie (ours) handled us quite well. He injured one of his front paws once and got a lot of sympathy from us. When he got better, whenever we went t scold him for something, he would pretend his paw was hurt...but he did have trouble remembering which one it was... ;-) |
| Elais | great..we finally get a glimpse of the Thing in the Forest and I still dont' know what the heck it is |
| MattH | The Thing in the Forrest? Bigfoot? |
| Elais | dunno |
| Elais | watching Lost |
| Elais | on several eps they had shown foilage being rattled and the sound of roaring |
| Elais | no visuals |
| Elais | one of the names used to describe it was Thing in the Forest |
| MattH | Hmmm...it is a Japanese soldier who doesn't know the war is over ;-) |
| Elais | in this ep we get what appears to be living smoke? |
| MattH | A vampire in gaseous form! |
| Elais | thatl'll work |
| Elais | given that some Buffy/Angel writers are on the show |
| MattH | Or an alien that sucks out the blood of victims.... |
| Elais | hmmm |
| MattH | which now that I think of it, means that Star Trek episode was based upon vampire legends...sheesh...it took me 25+ years to figure that out.... |
| Elais | reading comments on people who saw the ep earlier |
| Elais | pirates? |
| Elais | motorcyle gang? |
| Elais | which ep of Star Trek? |
| MattH | Don't remember the na,e...but a vampiric gas that killed Kirk's captain when he was an ensign comes back. We also learn that Spock's blood is based on copper, not iron. Kirk uses an ounce of anti-matter to blow up the gas cloud and a large portion of the planet it is on. |
| Elais | oh yeah |
| Elais | I think I remember that one |
| Elais | have a memory of some weird dog with a horn |
| MattH | Episode 42 - Obsession http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-633/epid-24927/ |
| Elais | ah thanks! |
| Elais | so..it took you 25 years to figure that out? |
| Elais | maybe you should have asked your pets |
| MattH | Yeah...but I doubt they knew any more about vampire mythology then than I did...that came after my Star Trek fascination. |
| Elais | would a vampire show worked back then? |
| MattH | Dark Shadows... |
| Elais | *slaps head* |
| Elais | of course |
| MattH | Although I didn't hear of the show until the mini-series in the 90s. |
| Elais | I may have spotted when the reruns were airing on the sci-fi channel |
| Elais | Lost raises more questions than it answered |
| MattH | What did it answer? |
| Elais | come to think of it...nothing |
| MattH | Is it still all happening according to the kid's comic book .... |
| Elais | not sure |
| Elais | all I remember is the polar bear |
| Elais | walt got kidnapped by 'The Others' |
| Elais | the comic was mexican, I think |
| Elais | and it apparently belonged to hurley |
| MattH | So are you happy with the finale? |
| Elais | happy enough |
| Elais | and interested enought to tune in next year |
| MattH | Well...that is what a good finale is supposed to do...bring them back next year. |
| Elais | now onto the Alias finale |
| MattH | Was Alias renewed? |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | the whole spy family is together again |
| Elais | Sidney...Spy mommy, Spy Daddy, Spy Sister and Spy Boyfriend |
| MattH | Her entire family is made of spies |
| Elais | and they are all after Spy Auntie...who is the bad guy |
| MattH | Well...it is time to go...have a good Memorial Day's Weekend. |
| Elais | you too Matt |
