Here is a joke Rindfleisch sent me in an e-mail:

A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week, so he did the same tricks over and over again.

One problem: The captain’s parrot saw the show each week and began to figure out how the magician did every trick.

Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show “Look, he’s hiding the flowers under the table!” and “Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?”

The magician was furious but couldn’t do anything. It was, after all, the captain’s parrot.

Then, during a fierce storm, the ship sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood in the middle of the sea with, as fate would have it, the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred but did not utter a word. This went on for a day, and then another and then another.

Finally on the fourth day, the parrot could not hold back “OK, I give up. Where’s the fucking ship?”

Rindfleisch also sent me an e-mail almost 2mb’s. You do that again and your going to get it.

Renegade is a game I mentioned before briefly, saying I went to Lan Planet to play it. I didn’t mention what it is. Renegade is a FPS (First Person Shooter) set in the Command and Conquer universe. C&C is a RTS (Real Time Strategy) game. An idea I thought was cool. The game is out and it’s been getting so-so reviews. I think it’s fun enough. This one is really for people who dig the RTS C&C. As per the usual here are some shots (1024×768):

A warning to those of you with XP that this game has been a little finicky running. There has been a few patches out that have had a so so effect on making the game more stable on XP.

So it’s March and I have yet to mention the b-day. I have been nice and quiet as of late. Not much is going on at all. It’s just the usual.

Okay about the b-day. I hit 30 on the 27th of this month. This is an event I have been dreading. Because to me it seems that when you hit the three o you are officially old. I’m not ready to be old.

There is a rumor that two weeks is all the Hotel has left.

Sherry checked in yesterday in the GuestBook with this comment on my up coming b-day:

hey whats up? do you really think that theres only 2 weeks for the hotel? and i was wondering if you had made any b-day plans as of yet. let me know…

Two weeks? Beats me. That’s just the rumor going around. For the record I didn’t start it. Birthday plans? Beats me. I’m sure a large amount of alcohol will be on the agenda.

So here I am at Circuit City shopping with the new guy for a PC for work. What a time. We found a decent PC here at Circuit City. The only bad thing about it is the fact it is a Celeron. On board goddamned video. I hate those. No AGP port to slide a cheap GeForce 2 into.

I also ate launch with the dude. Again I will say… No this is the first time? He’s ok. I wouldn’t want his job. That I know. Well I got to go. I futzing with a Circuit City “broadband” display computer. I say “broadband” because my 56k modem at home is faster.

I will chat with you all later.

OK I have found a niftier Forum software than the last one. It’s another free kind of deal. I do so love Forums. Not that any forum of mine will get any use. You don’t have to be a registered member to post to it. I’m still messing with to get it to look like the rest of my site. So go and check out my Forum.

I’m always surprised when I find about someone who views my site. More surprised when it turns out they view the site often. Often enough to have read that whole mess about Secretive. So this is me saying hello to Scalia.

Scalia is a hell of a nice lady who works at the hotel. She has been with the place for 15 plus years. She had asked why I never have mentioned her. So here you go.
