| Elais | I'm glad smallville is in reruns now |
| Elais | now I dont' have to worry whether the next ep will suck or not |
| MattH | 'Cause you already know... I hadn't planned on watching the reruns. I just got around to watching the finale today, |
| Elais | Eagles concert on now |
| Elais | as well as Beauty and the Geek! |
| MattH | Another reality show....ughh |
| Elais | i'm watching it right now |
| Elais | it actually looks sort of interesting |
| Elais | a geeky guy is paired with attractive women |
| MattH | It's demeening - I'm a geek and we don't act like that. |
| Elais | I think each couple competes against each other |
| Elais | they do have a V.P. of the Dukes of Hazzard fan club |
| Elais | most of the girls seem to be dancers, models etc |
| MattH | I watched one of the previews for the show - most seemed rather stuck up ;--) |
| Elais | well, duh *g* |
| Elais | wouldn't be as fun if we had easy going pretty girls |
| MattH | I don't care how pretty a girl is...ugly on the inside is very unnattractive... |
| Elais | well, they all can't be bitches |
| MattH | On a reality TV show...they preselect for bitchiness ... |
| Elais | doesn't seem to be much else on tv besides reality shows |
| Elais | at least until 'The inside' starts airing |
| MattH | One of the reasons I have mostly given up on TV. |
| Elais | okay, we have Screeche's twin brother on the tv |
| MattH | See - more geek stereotyping .... |
| Elais | hah! the gal just said he was a white Urkel |
| Elais | I think this guy is the only one I would considered 'geeky' |
| Elais | in the dorky sense |
| Elais | the other guys seem fairly alright |
| Elais | if not the most socially sophisticated of men |
| Elais | okay, what kind of job is a 'Life Sized Barbie Model'? |
| Elais | how was your memorial day weekend? |
| MattH | One with an unnaturally small waistline. |
| MattH | I did absolutely nothing...well, I watched Star Wars on Friday...other than that, nothing. |
| Elais | had lunch with my mom and we both went to see Madagascar |
| MattH | How was it? |
| Elais | so-so |
| Elais | it wasn't terrible, but it didn't impress me either |
| Elais | a friend of mine said he laughed like a loon during the movie |
| MattH | Is he a loon? |
| Elais | nope |
| Elais | a pretty level-headed guy |
| Elais | I think he just needed a good laugh |
| Elais | it takes a pretty funny movie to get a peep out of me |
| MattH | Eh...I am pretty easy to get a chuckle out of, although I often find things funny that no one else does. |
| Elais | hah |
| Elais | the gals are doing a geography bee |
| Elais | very simple questions |
| Elais | name three states with the word 'new' in them |
| MattH | These things are totally scripted... |
| Elais | I don't think these guys are that good |
| Elais | on the other hand, you may be right |
| Elais | these girls can't be THAT dumb |
| MattH | I don't know...bleach tends to lower people's IQs..... |
| Elais | looks like this will be a short series |
| Elais | only seven couples |
| MattH | If the ratings are good, there will be more. |
| Elais | what things to you find funny? |
| MattH | Well, I was on a jury once, and several of the witnesses were lying through their teeth...I found that hilarious. |
| MattH | Even though they were not technically being very funny. |
| Elais | http://www.screenwritingexpo.com/competition.htm |
| Elais | this looks fun |
| MattH | Eh...does nothing for me....I have zero interest in screenwriting. |
| Elais | Joss Whedon will be there |
| MattH | Doing what? |
| Elais | he's one of the guests |
| Elais | I suppose they will be doing talks |
| Elais | don't know if any of the guests will be doing workshops |
| MattH | A writing workshop with Joss could be interesting. |
| Elais | to delve into the mind of Joss..... |
| MattH | I am already unstable enough...delving into the mind of Joss might send me over the edge ... ; -) |
| Elais | I hear the director of the third X-men movie is off the project |
| Elais | now there are rumors the job might go to Joss |
| MattH | There are always rumors that it might go to Joss...hopefully they are right this time. |
| Elais | the biggest problem I see is that joss prefers to write and direct |
| Elais | not sure he would want to direct a movie scripted by somebody else |
| MattH | He might end up rewriting the script...lots of directors do that. |
| MattH | As he has found out already. |
| Elais | even if he was offered the job, would he have time? |
| Elais | he's got Serenity, Wonder Woman and that Astonishing X-men comic |
| MattH | Serenity is probably almost done with. I don't know how much time he spends with the comic. Wonder Woman could be a problem. |
| Elais | it might be a long time before Wonder Woman starts production |
| Elais | I'm not even sure a script has been written yet |
| MattH | Hmmm...then Joss might have time to do X-Men. |
| Elais | you in any danger of landslides? |
| MattH | Nah....I'm on fairly flat land. |
| Elais | watching the world poker tournament now |
| MattH | And? |
| Elais | and that's it |
| Elais | I just started watching this stuff |
| MattH | I meant - how is it? |
| Elais | pretty interesting |
| Elais | in the final tournaments, the pots got up to a million bucks |
| Elais | I think this is one of the early rounds |
| Elais | hmm...one of the players looks familiar |
| MattH | I've never played poker...not really into card games or gambling. |
| Elais | I played poker once |
| Elais | I'm more interested in watching it than playing it |
| Elais | I'm not into gambling either |
| Elais | guess I don't have the gambling gene |
| MattH | Yeah...I've never been to Vegas or a casino (to gamble anyway) |
| Elais | been to Vegas twice now |
| Elais | I went there earlier this year for that Jacks or Better tournament |
| Elais | how's the D&D going? |
| MattH | Pretty good...next session is this weekend. I posted the recap of the May 21 session tonight. |
| Elais | oh good |
| Elais | We are finally almost caught up with work |
| Elais | not sure what we are going to do to fill the time now |
| MattH | Who knows? Maybe you'll get a new system to replace the current one ;-) |
| Elais | wouldn't surprise me |
| Elais | I'm sure they can dig up something for us to do now |
| Elais | something time consuming and useless at the same time |
| MattH | I see you have a really high opinion of managment. |
| Elais | it never pays to overestimate the intelligence of upper management |
| MattH | http://www.usd.edu/eric/scripts/rules.cfm?rule_num=133 |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | i've seen that before, but it is still great |
| MattH | 'Cause it is true |
| Elais | very true |
| Elais | how is work for you? |
| MattH | Picking up. We went down to San Diego yesterday. 7 hours round trip for a 1.5 hour meeting |
| MattH | I gotten get in about 7 AM tomorrow. A presentation was moved up from 2 PM to 10 AM, and we have to write it. |
| Elais | an allnighter> |
| MattH | We have someone flying out from Texas to help work on it, but she won't be in until about 8 or 8:30 AM. |
| Elais | geez |
| MattH | Yeah... |
| MattH | Anyway...I got to go...it is getting awfully close to bedtime for me, due to the fact that I have to get up at about 5:30 :_( |
| Elais | ack |
| Elais | I wish you much luck, Matt |
| MattH | Thanks, CYA next week |
