| MattH | Hiya |
| Elais | late again |
| Elais | *bangs head* |
| MattH | I forgive you ;-) |
| Elais | hear about James M being Brainiac on Smallville? |
| MattH | Yep....looks like they are going with the classic version of Brainiac, too. |
| MattH | I.e. not Brainiac being the Krypton planetary computer. |
| Elais | since they have JM playing Milton Fine |
| Elais | will 'Brainiac' be downloaded into his brain? |
| MattH | From the spoilers I've read, yep. |
| MattH | I'm just wondering if we get to see the Fortress of Solitude... |
| Elais | is that kryptonian knowledge, then? |
| MattH | Dunno...the spoilers I read say Brainiace is Viril Dox from Colou (sp)....not Krypton. |
| Elais | some rival planet then? |
| MattH | Hmmm....I don't know that Krypton and Colou ever had had contact.... |
| Elais | the reason I'm asking is that it appears Milton/Braniac/Dox knows about Clark |
| MattH | Brainiac did spend time scouring the galaxy for knowledge. Plus, I always got the impression that in galactic circles Krypton was rather famous (and perhaps feared). |
| Elais | I'm just glad they aren't doing the green braniac |
| MattH | Eh...I kind of liked the green brainiac, although I preferred the silver, skeletal version. |
| Elais | I was just about to give up on Smallville |
| Elais | now I'll have to stick around to see James |
| Elais | I prefer my James his natural skin ;) |
| MattH | Just when you thought you were going to get away.... |
| Elais | you're in san diego right? |
| MattH | Lucky you.... |
| MattH | LA |
| MattH | About 2-3 hours north of San Diego |
| Elais | how is that new mayor doing? |
| MattH | San Diego? I don't even know who won... |
| MattH | Or do you mean Villaragosa? |
| MattH | Cause he it pretty much like Hahn, but he can speak Spanish. |
| MattH | Both are crooks.... |
| Elais | I thought LA just voted for a new mayor |
| Elais | they all seem to be crooks in San Diego |
| MattH | A months or so ago...that was Villaragosa(sp) |
| MattH | Yeah...San Diego has its fair share of crooks. |
| MattH | They are having major financial difficulties, too. |
| Elais | arnie doesn't seem to be doing too well |
| MattH | Depends...the redistriciting proposal was tossed out by a judge, due to some wording issues, but I expect it will get back on the ballot in the appeals process. |
| Elais | this balloting stuff seems to be a pain the neck |
| MattH | Yeah...but the CA legislature is even more of a pain. |
| Elais | still enjoy living there? |
| MattH | It has its advantages, but I have wanted to escape from CA for some time. |
| Elais | where would you like to go? |
| MattH | Away from the coasts...preferrably some place where the cost of living is actually reasonable. |
| Elais | I wouldn't recommend moving to South Dakota |
| MattH | I wasn't really thinking about it....more like Texas or Arizona. |
| Elais | I know a few people in Texas |
| Elais | they seem to like it there |
| MattH | I'd actually like to be able to buy a place to live someday, and I just can't see that happening in CA. |
| Elais | I might ask my friends about the cost of living in Texas |
| Elais | they are from different areas of Texas |
| MattH | It does depend where in Texas, also. |
| Elais | I think Arizona might be a bad place to live because of the heat during summer |
| MattH | That is what air conditioning is for. Texas is hot, too. It was about 100 degrees when I went back to Dallas. |
| Elais | yeah, but people are dying in Arizona from the heat |
| MattH | People died in France from the heat too - it just depends on the precautions one takes. |
| Elais | okay, I asked my friends about the cost of living |
| Elais | will forward any responses I get to you |
| MattH | Thanks.... |
| Elais | "it's better than California" |
| Elais | and suggested googling 'cost of living Texas' |
| Elais | not particularly helpful :) |
| MattH | Well...I already knew about the lack of the income tax. |
| MattH | Hmmm...at salary.com it says my net disposable income would be essentially $6,700 higher than in LA. |
| MattH | For Dallas, anyway. |
| MattH | A little better than Phoenix , AZ |
| Elais | I have one or two friends from Houston |
| Elais | what's a petroglyph? |
| MattH | A symbol or picture drawn on a rock, often referring to prehistoric days. |
| Elais | gotcha |
| Elais | chatting with someone who was looking for free petroglyph pictures |
| MattH | Hmmm....strange. |
| Elais | not really |
| Elais | she wants it for a brochure on violence prevention |
| Elais | she's from hawaii |
| Elais | I don't think she'll have problems find that kind of stuff on the net |
| MattH | Google Images... |
| Elais | I've often wondered how people survived without a computer |
| MattH | I remember it....it was horrible...simply horrible |
| MattH | Yep - Petroglyph in Google Images gives 11,000 results. |
| Elais | I was reading your D&D blog |
| Elais | it looks like you guys are on a roll |
| MattH | I haven't gotten around to putting up last Saturday's summary....the party spent 2 1/2 hours trying to figure out how to divide up their treasure, so not much else happened. |
| MattH | Although there was a really funny encounter with an ogre. |
| Elais | those wacky ogres |
| MattH | I did the caveman routine - "Grod want to eat mule. Give mule to Grod or Grod bash in head". |
| MattH | DJ, who players the fighter Bran (pronounced Brawn) replied with something like, "Bran no let Grod have mule". Everyone was laughing their asses off. |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | who knew D&D games could bring on the funny |
| MattH | Most people who have played them.... |
| Elais | I sure didn't, but then I've never played D&D |
| Elais | I am enjoying the order of the stick though |
| Elais | I'm almost halfway through the strips |
| MattH | That is actually a pretty good representation of what a lot of games are like, although the OotS is fairly high level. |
| Elais | it's very good, but it looks like the creator is having a few problems recently |
| MattH | Yep - first the wrist thing and now his mysterious fainting spell. |
| Elais | one the one hand I'm curious as to what was wrong |
| MattH | He isn't saying.... |
| Elais | but I'm not sure I want to hear gross medical details |
| MattH | I was just reading his incentives pages ... full of bad D&D puns/cartoons.... |
| Elais | almost 10 pm |
| Elais | where the incentives page? |
| MattH | http://www.giantitp.com/Incentives.html |
| MattH | Anyway....time for me to go...I am glad you could make it. |
| MattH | CYA Next week |
| Elais | see ya matt |
