Saturday

Well, the weather is a-changin here in Tennessee, fall is in full swing and I love it. Fall is always a favorite season of mine.

BTW, most of you should know where the new icon comes from 🙂

NFL Picks coming later today, thanks for everyone’s kind words about starting up , I enjoy it 🙂

Moron Alert!!!

I have been subjected to a moron’s wrath concerning message. Not here, but via e-mail. And it’s nothing to do with Harvey, but it might as well be…

…Darryl Heine. Yes Mike K., stop hyperventilating, yes hiim.

What spurned this was a message on Golden-Road.net that got bumped in the “Out in Left Field” section when I inquired about 1970s PBS kids shows and if anyone knew of tape traders that have them.

Now, the jerk must have gotten my E-Mail address from my profile (which I do list publicly, although I need to change it to something less personal I guess, I don’t want my Z account here on campus everywhere I suppose, anyway…)

Here is the message:

“Nicholas: Glad you remember 1970’s PBS kids shows “Thinkabout” and “Inside/Out”. Do you also remember at the same 1970’s time “Sesame Street”, “Mr. Rogers”, “Electric Company”, “Zoom”, and “Villa Agerie”? Today PBS Kids has “Clifford”, “Dragon Tales”, “Sagwa”, “Barney and Friends”, “Big Comfy Couch”, “Teletubbies”, “Boobah”, and “Arthur”.

First of all, did I want to know what’s on today? Second, the post only referred to “Thinkabout” and “Inside Out”, and not all that other stuff, especially not today’s stuff. Lastly, I just plain dislike him.

To which, I sent a simple, calm-as-can-be reply…

“Leave me alone.

Thanks.”

And then I appropriately put him on the Junk E-Mail list on Outlook.

I know I’m not the first to deal with him. But the moral of this story is, do idiots ever learn? Guess not when you’re more than 30 frickin’ years old (judging by his screenname) and don’t have a clue as to how to be civil and just a tad bit intelligent! Geez!

That’s enough ranting for now.

Videos Abound

Got a new vintage VHS in today, Doctor Who- “The War Games”, the ten part finale of Patrick Troughton’s reign as the Doctor from 1969. Watching Episode Three right now, it’s a very interesting story. It’s also the last Doctor Who produced in black and white. This aired in June 1969, just weeks before BBC1 began their color broadcasting permanently.

Not much to report other than that, except that I’m looking forward to Video/Film Techniques as always tomorrow morning, especially to see my guy too (in class and after class that is).

Also going to pick up the new Family Guy DVD tomorrow too, “Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story”. I’m sure several of you reading out there plan to get this too. I’ll be sure to post my thoughts and I expect to hear yours as well.

Alas, off to bed, tata.

Announcement

I have decided, to just make things easier discussing the standings board, to just create a community to discuss that topic, and all posts on gameday and such will go over there.

is the name of the group… so I hope to see you there!

Happy Birthday

If my Semagic is telling me correctly… birthday wishes go out to jarockjores!!!

Big hugs to a guy with a big heart 🙂

——
BTW, I’ve heard no comments on the tiebreaker procedure on the Pickin’ Panel page.  Let me know what you guys think 🙂

Sorry for the delay, but I have the Pickin’ Panel updated… I might need to create a separate group for news on that… I’ll let you guys know.

BTW, modor, I forgot to reply to you, my apologies. If you want to jump in the game… go ahead. It’s unofficial unless someone starts wanting to claim territory of something 😀

BTW, I’ve drafted a tiebreaking procedure over there, I’ve not applied it to the standings themselves yet, just wanted you guys to read it and see if you have any problems with it. Remember, it’s still just unofficial, but I just need to know I’m being fair with it.

In other news… been getting my bearings on dubbing material in the studio down campus, it’s a cinch for me. Now, to learn Media 100, mwahaha (it’s only a matter of time before the editing beast inside me really gets unleashed!)

Not much more for now, so there. 🙂

First order of business this morning, happy birthday to robertsearcy!!!

Next, I have officially commissioned the page for the “Pickin’ Panel”. It’s at this location, bookmark it now! 🙂. This board will be updated twice weekly. On Sunday night or Monday morning, and on Tuesday.

And, btw, Brandon, how in THE world did you pin Chicago to beat Detroit yesterday, I need to know where you got that insight because that was the money pick yesterday, that’s for sure!
