How the heck are you??

My vacation is Jan.22-Feb 11.

And from Dec. 26- to Jan 21 I only have to work a total of 22 hours.

ON FULL PAY!!

Sweet, eh?

I won't be back to Canada till August.

I get an extra month paid vacation and a free return flight if I "sign up" for another year.

I think I will. I love Korean kids and I love all the money these people seem to want to put in my bank account.

I will bring <Batchimeg> back. I forgot all about her!

How is your school going? Are you in Graduate school?

I haven't downloaded the link you gave me yet-- I've been going deeper and deeper into the world of "streaming video".

You wouldn't believe the sites i've found.

Plus, I discovered that the VEOH technology gives you a PERFECT PICTURE while the DIVX technology has all kinds of bugs in it-- like it freezes, the sound goes out of sync etc.

But I found that every single movie and TV show ever made is "hiding" on VEOH TV with perfect picture quality.

You just need to hunt down the links.

And the "web" of links is vast. Every week a few get shut down and 50 new ones open up.

Some of the link sites even have disguised names.

You find the names of them on the <streaming vid blogosphere>.

Free movies and TV at your fingertips.

I've been watching a lot of Asian horror movies.

Very spooky but often hard to follow the plot.

Mike Takishi (the Odishon guy) has about 300 horror movies on VEOH TV.

He is great- a truly shocking director.

Korean horror is very good as well, not to mention Japanese.

My skin is still white, however- <time> is correct.

I have postpone the teaching course to next Winter instead of Summer to Spain or Mexico. Still have to think how Alejandro González Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuarón and Guillermo Del Toro films connect to each other or contrast or how each of one have the auteur style.

Hope I can see you in China next Summer. :-D

Full pay for only 22 hrs of work? That's it, they will never let you go home again.

Better get a membership at that Dog Food restaurant you were talking about the other day. I have a feeling that you're gonna be spending a lot of time there... Heh.

School's good, but I'm still an undergraduate. No Grad school for me yet.

Looking forward to your <Batchimeg>.

Where is everyone???

It's a <oppickal illusion>.

Actually I was playing chess with the Black pieces yesterday so my "perspective" was Black.

Like rapper <Lil Kim>, for example.

I used it last night on the <Fish n' Chips v. The Midget> game as well, where I posted three times asking why a rook was "immune"-- as <Fish n' Chips> left it "en prise" (I thought) for several moves.

Then I realized-- PAWNS CAN'T CAPTURE BACKWARDS!!

I'm pretty sure the <Great Jan Timman> will take the Queen, however.

Now what is this <Shredder 10> people are talking about?

Did I get ripped off?

Or did I buy a <Shredder 10 Mark 3>?

I'm pretty sure I followed all the instructions on the purchase page...

I'm fine. How are you ? How is Korea ?
I don't know much about South Korea/Koreans but recently in Hollywood movies the Korean/Korean-looking actors are getting decent roles. So I guess they must be friendly.

I've never heard of Shredder 3. Are you talking about the Chess engine Shredder ?

Still can't figure out why people find it necessary to be so rude in these Gameknot/Yahoo games. A little trash talk's fine, but when one is dealing with a stranger, well...Glad you were able to wipe the no doubt smug and self-satisfied expression off the guy's bloated, ruddy, and and open sore-riddled face with your brilliant combination (Rxg7+!). (I guess that's Monday Morning Trash Talk!).

The jury's apparently still out on the new prints found in Nepal. Quite a fight going on in Cryptomundo, featuring the editor of the Skeptical Inquirer.

Hope you're having a good go of things. I turn grades in in the next week or two. I realy can't wait to read all the papers <sarcasm>.

Generally, the only time I am offered "free" transportation is if I promise NOT to come back to the tavern/city/state/country/parish/etc in question. That, or if I spent some time in...uh...the auspices of the local constabulary.

Hi Jess! Howdy do?
Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I guess I've kinda been like an absentee fath...er... I mean, slightly older brother to you lately.

BTW, (re: your profile) just how long have you been a 22 year old woman from Canada now? I think there's a time limit on such things.

I've been 22 now for almost exactly 11 months.

I was 21 when I joined up.

My birthday is on Jan. 10 so it's not too early to start shopping...

As my <older brother> I'm assuming you have a credit card and could afford to buy me some <Kasparov insturctional videos> from <Chessbase>?

I'm not greedy, one will be sufficient.

<Nako>!

Hey!

I'm a <Canadian citizen> and I gotta passport and birth certificate to prove it too.

I'm a 'foreigner' here. It's my first time to take my turn as a "foreigner" and so far it feels quite 'foreign,' oddly enough.

However, you really couldn't meet a nicer group of people than <South Korea>.

It's like living in "friendlyville".

I'm still waiting to see the "dark side."

Sorry your so busy. NO WAY are those yeti tracks real.

I don't trust anything that has
"money" and a "vested interest" behind it.

that's why I trusted <Rene Dahinden> and <John Green> so much.

They made pretty much zero money and are both crazy as loons.

For my money, the <Chapman> Sasquatch and the <Roe> Sasquatch accounts remain the most convincing.

Little details, like the <Chapman> kid saying "mommy there's a cow coming out of the woods."

That's exactly the kind of thing a little kid might say.

Also, mysteriously, the <Champman family>, according to some accounts, all subsequently drowned when their small boat overturned in the Fraser River.

Bigfoot lives!!

Oh well, instead I will visit <Seoul> and see the GIANT and world famous <Korean War Museum>.

Then I will go to <Busan> and re-enact episodes of MASH pretending I'm hot lips Hoolihan on R and R.

Yep for two years running I've been typing <Cavs take it all you heard it here first>.
