| MattH | WB |
| Elais | lets try this again |
| MattH | Having problems? |
| Elais | not sure |
| Elais | I was kicked out earlier |
| Elais | how are your teeth? |
| MattH | Pretty good - the crown hasn't arrived yet, so he filled a cavity and did a thorogh cleaning. |
| MattH | Entire visit lasted about 35 minutes. |
| MattH | How about you? |
| Elais | hour and half |
| Elais | buildup and crown prep |
| Elais | pretty much pain free, but the guy didn't exactly have a gentle touch |
| MattH | Hmm...my root canal, about 5 years ago, was about the most painless dentristy I have ever had. My regular dentist was lousy, by the specialist really knew his anaethesia. |
| Elais | the root canal went alright |
| Elais | I went to a regular dentist and he did a good job |
| Elais | the guy I had yesterday was a substitute |
| MattH | My dentist yesterday didn't use any anaesthetic, so there was some discomfort. |
| MattH | So, other than that, how have you been? |
| Elais | I've been fine |
| Elais | watching 'The inside' right now |
| MattH | How is it? |
| Elais | pretty good |
| Elais | however, I think Fox is gonna drop it as a show |
| Elais | I believe they will air the 13 eps made so far |
| Elais | but there won't be any more after that |
| MattH | Fox? Drop a good show? Nah...they'd *never* do that.... ;-) |
| Elais | HAH |
| Elais | I think part of the problem is that the Inside airs opposite a show called "Dancing with the Stars' |
| Elais | which has been gettting gonzo ratings |
| Elais | that and Fox did little to no advertising for 'The Inside' |
| MattH | I've never even heard of it (Dancing with the Stars).... |
| Elais | Dancing is a reality teevee show |
| Elais | it pairs a celeb with a professional ballroom dancer |
| MattH | A reality show? Man, these tv types are *so* creative.... |
| Elais | the pairs compete in various ballroom dances and each week on pair gets eliminated |
| Elais | they are down to two couples tonight |
| Elais | 'The Inside' is a difficult show to get into |
| Elais | while Dancing is cheap and easy entertainment |
| Elais | frankly, Dancing is the kind of show I would have expected on Fox |
| MattH | I don't think I've turned on my TV in over a month.... |
| Elais | you're not missing much |
| MattH | I didn't think I was... |
| Elais | still, new Stargate and Battlestar Galatica will be coming |
| Elais | so there is hope! |
| MattH | Yep - 6 months until the next Dr. Who, though... |
| Elais | doing some creative chewing |
| MattH | I can understand that... |
| Elais | cream of wheat is my friend *g* |
| MattH | Cream of Wheat is no one's friend....;-) |
| MattH | It is deceiving you - it will betray you when you least expect it. |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | next wednesday will be the final appointment |
| Elais | I will get a gold crown |
| Elais | next Wednesday will also be my birthday! |
| MattH | As long as you don't start rapping in the chat room...more power to you. |
| MattH | Really...Happy Birthday.... |
| Elais | better wait until next week to wish me a happy birthday |
| MattH | I'll do it then as well.... |
| Elais | 37 years old |
| MattH | This was just notice to get the karmic forces aligned...;_) |
| MattH | I remember 37...it was very similar to 38... |
| Elais | and almost idential to 36 |
| Elais | do you have to take a lot of time off from work for these dental visits? |
| MattH | Not really - I just come in a little earlier and leave a little earlier. My total hours per week don't change at all. |
| Elais | wow, that is one heckuva twist |
| Elais | I take the mornings off |
| Elais | still watching 'The inside' |
| MattH | I gathered - it surprised you, then? |
| Elais | yes |
| Elais | they are doing a double ep tonight of 'The Inside' |
| MattH | Trying to air as many episodes as possible before the plug is pulled? |
| Elais | don't know, maybe |
| Elais | how's the D&D going? |
| MattH | Pretty good. I am just proofing last sessions recap. I finished up the next dungon level over the weekend....it was a *lot* of work. |
| Elais | any up on the site? |
| MattH | Not of the dungeon...I trust my player's but I don't want them tempted. The recap will be going up in a few minutes. |
| Elais | oh good |
| Elais | saw War of the Worlds Sunday |
| MattH | And? |
| Elais | it was alright |
| Elais | but just barely |
| Elais | I went with my mom and she seemed to like it more than I did |
| Elais | which is kind of a surprise |
| Elais | this isn't usually her kind of movie |
| MattH | I watched Batman Begins on the Imax out here on Friday. Good movie, but I don't think the Imax really added anything except $6 to the price. |
| Elais | have yet to see Batman Begins |
| MattH | It was worth seeing...I wasn't surprised by a couple of the plot twists, 'cause I was familiar with the comics, but it is good. |
| MattH | Didn't care much for Katie Holmes in it though....she kind of sleepwalked through her role. |
| Elais | nearly everybody talked about Katie not being all that good |
| MattH | She had no chemistry with Christian Bale |
| Elais | guess she wont' be in the sequel, will she? |
| Elais | how was the scarecrow? |
| MattH | Probably not. |
| MattH | Not too scary....but Liam Neeson's character rocked... |
| Elais | ah Ra Gul, right? |
| MattH | Not credited as such... |
| Elais | but implied |
| MattH | There is a minor plot twist regarding that, which is one of the things I saw through right away....do you want to be spoiler-free? |
| Elais | I can go either way *g* |
| MattH | I'm reading the IMDB boards...there is a comment that Scarecrow was scarier without the mask....I can buy that. |
| MattH | Neesom is Ra's Al Ghul...but somebody else pretends to be him through most of the film. |
| MattH | No mention of the Lazarus pits anywhere, either. |
| Elais | will he be back? |
| MattH | We don't see him die...not like the Joker in the 90s Batman film. |
| MattH | FWIW - I've posted the D&D recap. |
| Elais | something to read now! |
| MattH | Eh - I don't think it is *that* interesting...it was certainly much more fun to play than it was to write. |
| Elais | I'm sure the written word doesn't quite capture the experience *g* |
| MattH | If I were a better writer....maybe... |
| MattH | If you want to see what our games our like, I'd check out the Order of the Stick...it is a webcomic around a group of D&D characters. And it is hilarious. |
| MattH | http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript |
| Elais | hah...I first thought that link said 'giant tit' |
| MattH | I'd jump to the first and read them in order...it is basically one long story. |
| Elais | so I see, 199 so far |
| MattH | Yep 200 is supposed to be twice as long, too. I can hardly wait until this Friday. |
| Elais | I'm in for a lot of clicking *g* |
| Elais | on the first one |
| Elais | 'Weapons shrinkage' hee |
| MattH | The person who plays a halfling in my game has complained that they added size to weapons in version 3.5. Halfling, being small creatures, have smaller weapons. |
| MattH | Dwarves got some extra resistance to being knocked down, due to their low center of gravity, bards can wear light armor, etc. |
| Elais | is there a particular reason for upgrades> |
| MattH | Just things that came out...bards were considered a little underpowered, etc. Some spells were changes 'cause they were too powerful. |
| MattH | My campaign has always been 3.5 so we didn't go through this. |
| Elais | will there be another upgrade soon? |
| MattH | I hope not - you should have heard the wailing and screaming from all the gamers out there. The books aren't cheap, and most everyone had gotten a complete set when 3.0 came out. Then 3.5 came out only a couple of years later. |
| MattH | That is one reason I use the free version of the game (the SRD - system resource document)... |
| Elais | boy that was a depressing twist |
| MattH | The Inside? What happened? |
| Elais | the pregnant wife of one of the agents lost her baby after she was attacked |
| Elais | the kicker is that the agent husband left her alone to go on a revenge killing |
| MattH | Don't you just hate it when that happens? |
| Elais | sets up major angst for future episodes |
| Elais | this was the 'feel good dead baby' ep Tim Minear was talking about earlier |
| MattH | "Feel Good Dead Baby" ep - Tim is definitely a disciple of Josses |
| Elais | sadistic bastard |
| MattH | Precisely |
| Elais | come to think of it, maybe we'd be better off with small doses of Tim at a time |
| Elais | I'm not sure we could handle seasons of Tim particular brand of sadism |
| MattH | Yeah ... if one of his shows actually lasts, we might start needing therapy ... ;-) |
| Elais | 'heat blisters of eternal pain' |
| Elais | this series is great |
| MattH | The Inside? |
| Elais | no the comic strip |
| MattH | Oh, yeah...there are a lot of inside jokes too., which makes D&D players crack up - everyone in my gaming group likes it. |
| MattH | Anyway, I've got to go....I need to get something to eat. |
| Elais | easy chewing Matt |
| MattH | You too...See you next week. |
