Did you know that a 24 oz. Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo'd smothie has 755 calories? That's not a drink -- that's a freakin' meal!

Wow, I've been playing Tribes 2 so much since it arrived that I'm losing all sense of time and reality. Trust me, it's a sad way to spend one's Friday night. I don't know how long I was palying last night, but I slept till noon this morning and immediately started playing when I woke up. And now I'll be late to the Newshounds party. At the risk of sounding like a bigger geek than I already do, let me just say this game is awesome.

Naturally.

For the record, I hate Sarah Lacy.

They've sissified my Mach III.

In other news, my angry letter to SONICblue worked. They admitted that some early units had a design flaw that made them susceptable to static electricity damage and offered to replace the unit for free. Now let's hope this one doesn't die.

Sad but true.

This just in from Matt:

I got something for your website. I met the guys from Creed this weekend at the Solid Rock golf tournament and they are the biggest jerks in the world.

You can quote me on that.

Thanks, Matt.

I've finally gotten around to posting the photos of last weekend's visit from my good buddy Matt. For the first time since I moved, I got to show a tourist around the Bay Area and managed to keep him entertained. This is not as easy as it sounds, even in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Imagine two theoretical forces in the universe: the unstoppable force, and the immovable object. Matt would be the immovable object.

I saw Memento last night. It's an excellent movie -- suspenseful, engaging and profound. The story traces backwards the story of a man trying to search for his wife's killer while dealing with a rare form of amesia that allows him to retain long-term memories but not make new ones. Peeling away layers of the present to get to the past, the themes of identity, truth and our capcity for self-deception unravel in a capitvatingly orginal way. This is the best movie I've seen in a while, even taking into account the film festival I attended recently. This film is so rich I'm going to have to see it again.

Thanks to Dubya, stupid is in!

Actually, they sound more like Juliana Hatfield. Oh, that's because that's who's really singing.

Is it just me, or do Josie and the Pussycats sound just like Letters to Cleo?

Gladiator for best picture? You've got to be kidding me.

Don't be fooled by the menu above (if there's no menu yet, just wait a few seconds). I'm not finished with it, so it doesn't work. Not to mention I don't actually have any of those pages listed anyway.

I went to the Games Developers Conference yesterday hoping to see the only title I care about, Tribes 2, but alas, Sierra Studios wasn't even there. I did get to sit through a 90-minute workshop on how to design a realistic-looking human head. It was like watching C-SPAN for geeks. I just didn't realize that much thought went into things like that. I must say, it made me feel a little guilty for not playing more games. The funny thing is, the process is exactly what I imagined for my screenplay, Gameboys. I really need to rewrite that script and start pitching it, espacially since I now have connections in the indie film world.

Speaking of geeky things, I may buy a new computer this weekend. The P III's with 128 M and built-in CD writer have finally fallen to under $1,000, so now's the time. I'll need a faster machine to play Tribes 2 anyway. Woo-hoo! I love new computers, as sad as that is.

Now the dilemma -- do I go to Santa Cruz or play with the new toy?

Unbelievable. Could the Republicans be any further in the pocket of big corporations? I don't know whether to be more angry at these brazenly greedy businesses, the willfully ignorant politicians or the cabbage-heads who voted for Ralph Nader.

My life has hit rock bottom; I actually laughed out loud watching 7th Heaven tonight.

Rolling blackouts are back, baby! This is not a good harbinger of summer. If I suddenly go offline this afternoon, you'll know why.

Does Ralph Nader still think there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans? How about now? Well what about this? God bless the GOP -- always looking out for the interests of the rich and powerful.

Today I made it to church on time for the first time ever since I moved. It's a spring miracle!
