| Elais | hi matt |
| MattH | Hiya CM |
| MattH | So what's up? |
| Elais | not much |
| Elais | I made a pretty much last minute decision to go to a con in Toronto |
| Elais | James Marsters will be there, of course |
| MattH | Naturally.... |
| MattH | So which con and when? |
| Elais | hang on a sec |
| Elais | drat... |
| Elais | can't cut and paste |
| MattH | You must have had a hard time with Kindergarten then.... |
| Elais | www.hobbystar.com/ComicConTorontoV2/CC_Sfx_Guests.asp?CategoryID=3 |
| Elais | I had to hand type that, I hope it works |
| MattH | Elijah Wood, James Marsters, Kevin Sorbo...J Michael Straczynski....quite the lineup. |
| MattH | Couldn't you copy it from the address bar? |
| Elais | I copied it from the address bar |
| Elais | but I can't paste into here |
| MattH | Hmmm....strange cut'n'paste didn't work... |
| Elais | I'm not really interested in Elijah Wood |
| Elais | I think Adam Baldwin is gonna be there |
| MattH | He was on the list I saw |
| Elais | I need to see when and where he's gonna be at |
| Elais | I might be getting a Serenity movie poster that I can have him sign |
| MattH | Oh ... that'd be neat. |
| Elais | yeah...hope I get it in time |
| Elais | anyhow, I be cringing at my credit card bill for a while |
| MattH | Yeah - I thought you were con-free at the moment... |
| Elais | I couldn't pass this up |
| Elais | and I cancelled a warranty on my car and got the refund check last week |
| Elais | I'm not too worried, it will just take a lot longer to pay the card off |
| MattH | You cancelled the warranty on your car to go to a con? |
| Elais | it was an extended warranty |
| Elais | wasn't getting much use out of it |
| Elais | I have a 1998 Toyota Camry that is pretty darn nice |
| Elais | which reminds me, I better take it in for an oil change soon |
| MattH | I am do for the six-month service on my car, but I have been putting it off, as I have barely driven it since the last one. |
| Elais | I don't do much driving with my car outside of the daily commute and occasional 20-minute trip to visit my mom |
| Elais | I figured I could risk dropping the warranty |
| Elais | never had it on the cars I had before |
| MattH | Since I've only had the one car, and it was 7 years old when I bought it, I've never had an extended warranty...or any kind of warranty, for that matter ;-) |

| Elais | sorry about that |
| MattH | 'Sawright |
| Elais | my computer froze and I had to reboot |
| MattH | Windows 98, right? |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | we got new computers at work |
| Elais | and it runs XP |
| MattH | I remember freeze's like that. |
| Elais | they don't happen often, thank goodness |
| Elais | I'm still a bit nervous about the computer |
| MattH | While I have some hardware problems, Win2000 has been much more stable than Win98/85 ever was. |
| Elais | I still have that old Win95 computer, should this one crash again |
| Elais | work is still as boring as usual |
| MattH | Work has picked up quite a bit for me, with no end in site. |
| Elais | happy or sad about that? |
| MattH | Mixed...I have picked up a fair amount of the local work done by a coworker in Texas; I am unsure what exactly it entails or how prepared I am. |
| Elais | so you have to figure it out on your own? |
| MattH | In part...I can still call the coworker; she has moved over to IT, but I am still the one responsible in the end. |
| MattH | My boss isn't too thrilled either; she wasn't consulted. |
| Elais | typical |
| MattH | For this company, yes. |
| Elais | I'm sure you'll do fine |
| MattH | Probably; I just *hate* to be taken by surprise. |
| Elais | I'm sort of used to it at work |
| MattH | We have a lot of new projects coming on board, and we will be bidding on a *huge* one. I really don't know what we will do if we get it. |
| Elais | you'll be swamped? |
| MattH | More like under 6000 feet of water. The new project would have work for 10-15 people. There are two of us. |
| Elais | ack! |
| Elais | will you be hiring? ;) |
| MattH | Probably...but considering how long it took them to get me on board, I don't see how we could ramp up that quickly. |
| Elais | I can wait ;) |
| MattH | Not happy at the current job (other than being bored)? |
| Elais | the job is just fine |
| Elais | not the most exciting job in the world |
| Elais | don't have any complaints about it, but I can't exactly rave about it either! |
| Elais | hows the D&D? |
| MattH | Pretty good..may be getting a new player. I haven't gotten around to doing last weekends writeup - been too tire from work. |
| Elais | bummer |
| MattH | Yeah...I hope to get to it tomorrow or Friday. |
| Elais | what kind of hours are you working now? |
| MattH | Same hours....just more work to fit in them...I haven't had any time for the side projects I had been working on (which were both fun and energizing) |
| Elais | that's too bad |
| Elais | and it not gonna let up anytime soon, is it? |
| MattH | Doubtful - my boss was travelling this entire week. She'll be back Friday and I expect a great deal more to do from it. |
| MattH | At least I'll be too busy to be bored. |
| Elais | there are days I wish I was too busy to be bored |
| Elais | but then I would probably long for being bored |
| MattH | That is pretty much the way it works. |
| Elais | it's a vicious cycle |
| MattH | Yep. Beats being unemployed, though. |
| Elais | definitely |
| Elais | keep me posted on that big project you guys are bidding on |
| Elais | it sounds interesting |
| MattH | Not really...just big. |
| MattH | So how you liking BSG so far this season? |
| Elais | I'm enjoying it very much |
| Elais | although I wouldn't mind an upbeat ep now |
| MattH | It has been rather a downer so far, hasn't it. |
| Elais | they just pile on misery, don't they? |
| Elais | at least they introduced some surivors on Caprica |
| MattH | Yeah...I doubt they ever find Earth. |
| Elais | that might be next season |
| MattH | If they do, it will be right before they are all killed, and in doing so, they'll lead the Cylons straight to us. |
| Elais | suprised they offed one of the Boomers |
| MattH | Yeah...that was a little surprising. I just wonder how they are going to bring back the one on Caprica. |
| Elais | we don't know what has happened to her |
| Elais | she stole Starbuck's ride and that was it |
| MattH | Yep....I can't think that we will *never* see her again...too much invested there. On the other hand, she is a Cylon and everyone now knows it. |
| Elais | I'm thinking the other Boomer will show up on Galatica, pregnant |
| MattH | Yeah...but everyone will realize she is a Cylon... |
| Elais | but then there is that baby |
| MattH | Yep - that she up the angst level. |
| Elais | it would fit that baby vision that Six has been giving Baltar |
| MattH | Yeah...there was a miracle child in the first series too. I don't recall the details, but there was something about Starbuck and a Cylon being stranded on a deserted planet. |
| Elais | really> |
| Elais | Starbuck looked like she was hot to trot after that pyramid game |
| MattH | Yup. |
| MattH | I still can't stand this Starbuck...no charisma at all. |
| Elais | I don't mind her |
| Elais | but that she seems to be an expert on everything is annoying |
| MattH | She has lousy taste in men, too. I mean, Baltar? Ugh. |
| Elais | I like Baltar, but yes, ugh to him and Starbuck |
| Elais | I hear they are going to run about half the eps and then air the remaining eps early next year |
| MattH | Just like Stargate |
| Elais | watched my first Atlantis ep last week |
| MattH | It hasn't been that great this season. |
| MattH | Did you know that someone did an animated video to the song "Star Trekkin'" |
| Elais | this was that ep where the woman was inside McKay's body? |
| MattH | That was ok...not so hot. |
| Elais | didn't know there was a song called 'Star Trekkin' |
| MattH | http://gprime.net/flash.php/startrekkin |
| MattH | Funny song...not so sure about the video. |
| Elais | I know there is a lot of McKay/Sheppard slash |
| Elais | but i'm not seeing the subtext on the show yet |
| MattH | Hmm...I don't see it at all. I could see Sheppard/Weir though. |
| MattH | Anyway, I need to be going...I here my bed calling me... |
| Elais | good night Matt |
| Elais | see you next week |
| MattH | CYA Next week |
| Elais | and keep me updated on that big project! |
