lol, yes it will. I remember the constant successive updates on these boards, listing team stats and scores of the day's game.
(dad is a Giants fan) and thus will start the sundays of "GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!!!! NOOOO DON'T STOP YOU'VE GOT A CLEAR SHOT AT THE ENDZONE!!!!!!!" he's very vocal about his sports.

I live in an apartment building and the building explodes when the Packers score.

LOL the walls are that thin (my old apartment was that way, parties were awful), or are the people really THAT loud? O_o

I was in tech school during the Jan 07 superbowl, and I went to the recreational building for some interwebs, and they had the game up on this huge projection screen. I forget which team scored in like the first 45 seconds, but when they did I thought the windows were going to literally shatter from how loud it suddenly got in there. twas an adventure :)

Fortunately the people landlord and manager rent to to very good people. Like right now I can here a party going on. But it is a weekend and I feel people should be allowed to enjoy life. I hardly ever hear anything during the week. It does surpeise me how quiet it is here. This is a collage neighborhood. I am five blocks the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. So there are young people living all around me. My building is all single bedroom apartments, so you don't get more then two people living in any one of them. That keeps the parties small. If people put up with me howling when a runningback crosses the goal line, then I should not complain if they have their own celebrations.

LOL howling XD I totally see what you mean, and don't really disagree with that concept. I have no problem with people partying on the weekends, it's during the week that it gets a little tedious. The complex the bf and I are in now is nice and quiet, no issues (I think I'm the only college kid there, as the bf is fresh out of the CONN), which is how we like it.
Our old complex was mostly grad students, with a few college kids mixed in, and it was horrid. Parties all through the week, especially on thirsty thursday @_@ tempers flared :P lol

The only thing that gets me upset is when these young people party in the streets. They tend to wander out of the taverns and meander down the streets like the are a large sidewalk. You have to come to a stop sometimes and wait till they notice you. I don't yell at them because they outnumber me ten to one and their intoxicated. They soon move off, but you have to keep an eye on them in case they stumble into your path. At least their not driving. But then I was young and foolish myself, so I can't throw stones.

I always hated when the pilot made the slightess navigation change. My inner ear could always tell when we made change. I swear the change of a fraction of a degree and my head would swim for a second. It was easier taking off and landing. Glad I have never had to fly much.

We were all ready to stream and report live from the Con but some technical diffimaculty hampered that. I only filmed an hour and a bit on the Midi in fear of not having enough space in the memory. Really disappointed we didn't get to share the room party and possible pimpage of single female friends toward the Zeek.

Funny part is the modem was unplugged for a phone charger and we only realized this late Monday morning. Whoops.

D*C was great though I didn't see as much of it as I liked. The crowds plus long distance walking to get to anything meant that I was somewhat limited in what I could do... but it was great to see all the costumes and hang out with everyone.
Though next year I really think a FFF meet up would be good 'cause there were definitely people there we never saw.

Mostly the cute little ons in their cotumes were the most fun. There was a tiny DrWho and a little ObiWan ( complete with beard) Baby Yoda is getting much bigger and can walk by himself.( the first year he spent most of his time napping in daddy Luke's backpack)
It's so fun watching the kids get such a kick out of all the costumes.

There was an awesome baby in stroller wearing a hawaiian shirt, cargo pants and playing on the dashboard of blinking lights complete with dino's his parents had attached to his stroller.

Oh Zeek she was darling and super accessible. Came to karaoke night and sang with people, came to Dr Horribles and sang. Generally hung out and gave free autographs and such. Was very sweet... we even saw her in the airport on the way home, but decided she needed a break from the D*C fans so we didn't approach:)

I do have to say that unlike so many people she was still vibrant up close. She really is that bright and shiny. Who has skin like that?

Short story: A/B Mick and myself got smart on Saturday night and went to the liquor store rather than paying seven bucks a drink (I bought a 30 dollar six pack in the hotel lobby). So a twelve pack of Heineken and a fifth of Jose Cuervo (special gift for the shiny ladies of the group) stuffed in a Browncoat backpack and a rinsed out Dew bottle later and we were sitting in a pocket of the Hilton Karaoke lounge. When the host announced Miss Felicia Day the crowd erupted. As she exited the VIP section she grasped A/B Micks shoulder to get by him saying "Thank You" as she passed. The look on his face is one I have never seen on a man before. For the rest of the weekend he told everyone Felicia touched him and sang to him. MAGIC OF DRAGON*CON

Find a Con she is attending and go Zeek. If she is ever a bigger celebrity in the mass media she will be less accessible to our crowd. Now is the time. It is the only one we can experience fully.

Haha I like how you guys are acting like there is some chance of me picking up Felicia Day at a con. If I had to define out of my league I think she would easily fit the definition. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.


What a hectic couple days. Apparently the memo went out in the company that I was looking around for different jobs. I got 4 interviews rapidly thrown on my calendar. Some of the groups sound interesting. Others need to work on their sales pitch. "If you want to work 80 hour weeks there's enough work to support it". Really? Can I give up my vacation too? Oh boy!
