Repatriate Bobby Fischer

Okay he's eccentric and anti Semitic, but did the U.S. Gov't really need to spend all that time and money trying to arrest chess icon Bobby Fischer, because he went to the former Yugoslavia? I guess they really need the $250,000 fine money to help balance the budget.

More space

Earthlink just quadrupled my storage space for email. WOOHOO! I had signed up a few months ago to get 100MB. Yestarday, I looked at my little storage meter and it read 5% and 400MB.

YEAH baby!

I was using Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client, but a software bug disabled it and I am not savvy enough to do the workaround to make it run. It's a major pain in the ass. The last update made the problem. Bastards!

So for the time being, I'm at the mercy of Earthlink's storage policy, which is pretty good at the moment. I don't know I may switch back to Outlook Express. Maybe. I know both of you are holding your breath.

Moto's Movie Review

Mark.

You have to see this movie.

"Steamboy"

From a director of "AKIRA".

Now you know, this is Dir. Katsuhiro Otomo's new animation.
I just saw it, I love it. It's fuc*in' fantastic!!!!

I was so happy to see this film and thank my budda, I didn't even have any
feeling to kill
those Saturday night+evening+times square=goddamn tourists.
(Moto doesn't suffer fools gladly)

chao.



(There's also this other Akira that I think I like better.)

WorldCom

WorldCom execs to pay out of their own pockets. Good. They should strip these bastards of everything they own, money, property, assets, EVERYTHING. These people have perpetrated fraud against their own employees and their investors, so they should loose everything and be left penniless on the street. Their families should be made to suffer too, down to taking the money that their children and have distribute everything to the 20,000 employees until there is nothing left. Everything taken, and the offending families must be made to participate in the distribution of their wealth and property, so that they may feel the wrath of the people who were wronged. At the end they should have nothing except the clothes on their backs.

Let them feel the sting of Dubyanomics and get some faith based help. Bernie Ebbers will be on his knees in the bus station men's room trying to get bus fare. Oh wait, he'd trick his wife and daughter into that.

Sober on St. Patty's

So, it's 4PM on Saint Patrick's Day and I'm stone cold sober. I think I'm going to have to go to the Korean 24 hour bodega and get a six of Colt 45 tallboys. Heineken is okay, but here in NYC, it's $10 for six 12 Oz bottles. Colt 45 Malt Liquor, on the other hand, is $8 per 16 Oz can. BARGAIN! As long as I drink it really, really icey cold and quickly, it's not so bad.

I was going to go to the St. Patricks Parade in Manhattan, but ended up sleeping in, instead. I finally fell asleep last night around 5am. Not sure if it was the decaf coffee, bad date, or all the things I'm supposed to be doing, but not, that kept me awake.

After I finish doing a couple of the things I'm supposed to be doing, I'll head over top the store for some bad malt liquor.

Guess I better put some pants on, it's cold!

Star Wars III

Saw the trailer for the new Star Wars. It looks interesting, if you like cartoons. Anakin does less whining this time and Natalie Portman looks as lovely as ever. I'll go and see it just like everyone else. Hope springs eternal from the human breast.

Super powers in LA-LA Land

Reading Rolling Stone and they're doing a little Q&A with Brad Bird, the Oscar winning writer and director of The Incrdibles.

RS: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

BB: To have instant financial backing for movies. I would like to make backing materialize at my every wish.

That's brilliant! I wish I had thought of that.

What superpower would you like to have.

fun

Just for grins and kind of to bust on Tricia. I'm using this blog template.

Hi Tricia!

ebay Silliness

I'm totally addicted to ebay. I have gotten some really great deals on camera and lighting gear, it's great. I also have way too much stuff, so I have to start selling again. I got rid of a bunch of old gear that I don't use or was not worth repairing. I have way too much other non photo stuff, so it's time to start getting rid of it and simplify my life.

From time to time I'll go and look for wierd shit on ebay. I found this and find it highly amusing. I am not an animal, I am a snack food!
