Im moving my stuff and about to disconnect my computer. We don't get internet until next wednesday. This means that new posts will be few and far between. I hope you understand. In the mean time, here are some activities to keep you busy: 1) make your own movie quotes to guess in the comments and guess at other peoples! 2) Goto mattbrozovich.com for multiple daily updates that will have you laughing your asoulf. 3) Make your own damn website, you lazy tripe.
Two down, twelve to go. I spent my lunch at the Cricket store trying to fix my little problem. If you were to have called me in the last week, I couldn't answer because it wouldn't ring, and if you were to have left a message, it just waits 30 minutes and then beeps at me saying I have a voice mail. So I told the guy this problem and he said it was because the kind of phone I had sucks and that I was using it in new and strange locations. I've had the phone for 6 months, and never had this happen, and in the last week, I don't receive 30 phone calls. I told him that. Then he tells me that its probably due to changes in the atmosphere. So I then told him to go in back and get me a new phone. One who's service is not so heavily dependent on atmospheric anomalies and biological conundrums. Anyhow, he got me a new phone but the mic was bunk, so he got me a second phone, and the speaker was bunk on that one, so he got me a third phone and that one works. We'll see about that. And my "agent" (thats for matt) that is getting us set up in the house is not in Mexico, but rather in Denver. He got back from his road trip and had several proverbial fires to put out. we will get keys tomorrow morning at 9am. I just looked at weather conditions on 9news.com, and it says "If your vehicle stalls abandon it immediately and seek higher ground." Just to be clear on this, if your car stalls for any reason, flooding included, don't even think about trying to start it even once. it could be the difference between life and death. just go ahead and jump out into the flood to assure your safety.
No one has got the movie quote from yesterday and its pretty easy... Good News: I got my pool table today and [I] am completely "stocked" to set it up and play on it. Bad News: I can't set it up and play on it because we don't have keys to our house yet. Our relater guy, Mike, is probably in Mexico right now spending our deposits on umbrella-drinks and Ricky Martin CD's; the Latin ones. Actually he probably decided to stay an extra day on his road trip to the grand canyon with his family. We can only hope for option 'b'. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome.
I'm hurting a little tonight after our 7-6 victory against the Flying Ruskies [see scoreboard on right]. Flying Ruskies are a team made up of cops who decide to bring their asshole antics off the beat and into the rink. Luckily one did get ejected for being an ass, but their goalie shoulda gotten booted too. Anyhow, we didn't have a goalie for the first half, and at the end of the first half we were tied 5-5. Most impressive. Then our old goalie, Hazard, came and finished the game up nicely for us. I took a ripper to my right thigh and now I have a healthy sized nugget on my leg. If it gets any worse, you will for sure get pictorial satisfaction out of my mishap. This weekend I spent looking for a pool table and it was completely hopeless. UNTIL tonight when I got a call from someone who I had called this morning (this morning she told me she sold it). Tonight at 9 she calls me up and says the people who bought it didn't come get it so it was fair game for me now. I was much obliged as I have not found a real table for under 1000 anywhere, and she was letting it go for 500. Stoked is an understatement. Tomorrow we move into the new place and get the pool table, so it should be an exciting day, but an exhausting week. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "C'mon! It's beer o'clock, and I'm buying!"
I suck, dont I? 
Apparently I'm not good at updating the last few days, so I figure why break the trend. I figure if Kobe's accuser can keep up her charade, so can I. While this post isn't original, it sure is damn entertaining. For computer savvy people [michael, dan, randal will appreciate] Here is a great link that if someone says they need help with their computer, you can just use these randomly generated terms to describe the problem they're having. Check it out. I couldn't stop laughing And here's a like for the punk fan [matt, nick, di, bwad will appreciate] This is a random song generator that ...randomly generates lyrics for a "typical punk song". It even gives you the randomly generated name of the band, and is rather funny. Check it out. I got these from an allied clan of GZ's, teamCrack. Here's an actual account of the generator in use: Some girl: when you get back, I need your help......again.......and its about my copmuter, its acting really strange. So when you have a minute could you help me? Todd: whats up Some girl: ummmm Some girl: well, my computer is beeping at me from the tower Some girl: and I've never heard it do that before Some girl: and when I press ctr alt delete, the window wont stay up Some girl: it just goes away Todd: is your keyboard plugged in all the way Todd: is there anything resting on your keyboard Some girl: yupits plugged in all the way Some girl: nothing resting on it Todd: it may be a Dual-Homed Backplane Bug Malfunction, but im not sure Some girl: hmmm, if it is, what would I have to do to fix it? Todd: but an unsupported execution desynchronization problem does the same thing sometimes Some girl: its only been lately that my computer has been acting up, I never used to have to restart it and now all of a sudden I have to restart constantly Some girl: wow, thats all greek to me Some girl: what are those things? how would I find out and how would I fix? So, you guys must not even be trying anymore. the quote from 2 posts ago was Gone in 60 Seconds and last post was Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Sorry bout comments being so off-and-on, but please, if they're down, then come back later to post

My co-workers band, AbbieNormal, is playing a show on Friday with a band named "Cereal Victum". Since when did spelling things wrong become so cool? It makes me rather upset. Here is the process for coming up with their name. Hank: How about we name ourselves.... Serial Killers! Phil: Thats cool. OR! Serial Victim! See how that works?!? Kind of a play on words! Hank: That...is awesome. Oh crap! Even cooler! We spell it "Cereal" Victim, like the popular breakfast food! Phil: Hank...that is totally awesome. We are now Cereal Victim. Hank: Hell yeah, dude, Cereal Victim. Phil: Wait. We're not done yet. What if...and stick with me on this one, what if we spelled Victim v-i-c-t-U-m? ....dude? Hank: That is the best name ever.... You know how I know it is? Phil: How's that? Hank: I just spunked all over my pants. Phil: ......... awesome. I also realized 2 things today, in this order: 1) Beatles are spelled Beat-les like cool and not regular like Beetles, and 2) I'm an oblivious idiot.
Kind of coincidental what happened. I just got home from seeing Pirates of the Caribbean (which was entertaining), and I don't know if you ever listen to AM radio at 1 in the morning, but theres some weird stuff going on there. There was a guy on who said that he was on board the USS Eldridge in 1943 when the US Navy conducted their experiment in making a ship disappear magnetically, or visibly. This was called Project Rainbow, or as it is referred to now, The Philadelphia experiment [link]. If you've never read about this stuff its pretty interesting 'fictional' reading. So this guy said he was on board during these experiments, and short story long, he jumped off the ship, warped through time to 1983 (from 1944), watched TV and talked to his friend that was now in the future, and was warped back, only to find his crew (brother included) infused in the steel hull of the ship. While this is a good idea, the guy who made up the story for Titanic's idea was way better, and totally more believable. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "I've got two jobs.

Signed the lease for our new house. Its a 5 bedroom, and theres only 3 of us. Its gonna rule. here are the pics. However, we have now a lot of space and nothing to fill it with, so we are looking for stuff. Main order of business is a pool table. If you know ANYONE who is selling a pool table, would you please let me know about it. Also, some places of work (like mine and Dianne/Dan's) have a inter-work classified ad thing, so if your work has one of those, would you check there too? i love you. We won our hockey game last night 5-4, Brozovich with a well deserved, and overdue hat trick. It was just funny watching these guys. Whenever we would score, there was this one sucker who would pout and throw his stick down and curse like Britney Spears when she thinks no one can hear her. Side Note: the ref's at Bladium are chumps. I bought some Pringles last night, and something came to mind that has always bothered me. The lid to a pringles can fits nice and secure on the top, but when you take it off, where do you put it? The obvious place is the bottom of the can, because it is , after all, a cylinder, so it should fit. Oh no. Pringles has decided to make the bottom ridge of their cans smaller in diameter than the tops, immobilizing it's use as a lid holder, causing I'm sure, many people to lose their lids and have their so-called "perfect chips" to turn stale. Due to this disregard for convenience, I have started the "Once you pop, you can't stop cooperate America" campaign against pringles, and other companies the like. More info to come. I also noticed that it seems the ThunderCats are all wearing mascara all the time. I'm not passing judgment, but I thought I'd point it out. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "That's none of your damn business and I'll thank you to stay out of my personal affairs"
I looked at a house. Gonna sign the lease tomorrow. Its in Olde Town Arvada. its a 5 bedroom and 3 of us are going to live there. $1190/mo. Boo-yah. "...and here come the pictures." [monday update by lunch] -=RandomThoughtoftheDay=- the people who say 'you can accomplish anything if you set your mind to it' are only saying that because they've already accomplished something they set their mind to.
I'm still at work. Its 5:45 on a Friday. I've worked 45 hours this week and am only getting paid 40 of it. this stinks. Shawn: Here's an idea: Starwars meets terminator. The jedi knights raise up against the machine menace. Mark: Okay Shawn, let's get this straight. Star Wars doesn't "meet" anyone.
Well last night I was able to spend the evening with the fabulous Jenni Jones, among many others. Mike ("Eppinger") is going to Australia for 3 weeks, so we all went to the Handle Bar down off Broadway somewhere. Anyhow, it was much fun and Jenni will be in town (she's visiting from Portland) until monday, in which time I hope to complete the screening of no less than two movies, including Super Troopers (she's never seen it) and Electric Dreams (I've never seen it). Should be fan-friggintastic. The main topic of discussion tonight: Clive the Ghost. Clive, while still living didn't have the best life. His wife left him, he was a lonely man, and he didn't get out much. Clive often thought that things would be so much easier if he didn't live at all. Well Clive was wrong. On May 4, 1994, clive was involved in a 4 car pileup, the details of which are not important. Clive died that day. Now he is a ghost. However, being a ghost is not all fun and games like Clive originally thought. Clive flat out sucks at scaring people, and is still pretty fat. sometimes, hes so fat that after floating for just a short distance, he gets winded. He'll have to stop to catch his breath and tell his ghost friends to wait up. Passing through walls is another problem. You see ghosts all the time just zipping through walls left and right. Well thats because they're skinny. Clive is fat and his big fat ghost body is difficult to get all the way through a wall. Clive is still lonely and sad. Being a ghost wasn't quite as good as he thought it would be. Clive is a fat ghost and other ghosts still make comments under their breath ("look at the fat ghost") regarding him. It's sad that he died, but honestly, its even sadder that he is a fat ghost instead of just regular fat. My sorrow spills for Clive, and I'll bet yours does too. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship"
Results are in from the Filmwise Paper Doll Cutout contest and both Matt and My team are listed as getting all of them right. My team was Me, Jason, and Nick, known to filmwise as the -angry gb playas- (angry gumball playa's), based off of the delightful commercials for Extra Gum featuring that singing gumball that we all love to hate. Thanks to Matt and everyone else who helped us figure out those last few. Also, I was going to buy all three Trigger Happy TV DVDs from Amazon.co.uk (the UK's Amazon.com), but then I realized that they are all in region 2 encoding, so I can't watch them on my DVD player. Region codes are seriously stupid.
Jason told me yesterday that he can't live with us because he has to fly like 2 or 3 times a week this semester to complete his degree, meaning he can't work much, meaning not very much money for rent. Thats just fantastic. This moving process is going about as well as From Justin to Kelly's box office sales. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "No ticket."
After living with him for a year and three months, my roommate, Nick, is moving out. Our lease isn't up until the 31st, but Nick has just accepted a job that requires him to leave town for a month, so..he has to move out today because he leaves Thursday. While this sounds like a pretty sweet deal ("you just get a job and the first week you get to travel?!"), in all actuality, its only partly cool. Nick gets to chauffeur around an older couple, driving their Oldsmobile to Texas and then hang out there for three weeks with no work, however, he is getting paid salary plus living expenses. Then, he gets to drive this couple to Oklahoma and hang out there for a week, same situation. Then he drives home and works full time for them in an office. I find it pretty sweet that he is getting paid to hang out and do nothing for 4 weeks, but it kinda sucks that its in Texas and Oklahoma. Because of this suck factor, I have made a short list of things to do. Texas :: visit the Alamo. This is of course a well known place because part of Cloak & Dagger was filmed there. The part with the old scary lady. good stuff. Texas :: go to the Texas Shakespeare Festival. "It is indisputably the best Shakespeare festival in Texas" says the Austin American Statesman. One thing you can bank on with live Shakespearian thespians in the south: quality. Texas :: stop by the birthplace of the late Roy Orbison. Just swing on down to Vernon, TX. Thats right, Roy Orbison's house. Good 'ol Roy "Texas'-answer-to-Elvis" Orbison. yea. Oklahoma :: check out the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum. I'm not talkin' your Randy Savage, or your Rowdy Roddy Piper, I'm talkin' your 165 lb., 1975, USA Junior Greco-Roman Champion Dom DiGioacchino of New Jersey. Thats what I'm talkin about. Hope these suggestions are helpful Nick, and it has been great living with you. Sad to see it's over. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything."
I have had a constant soar throat for the past three weeks. I am not sick, and I'm running and eating well and everything. Also, my lungs hurt sometimes. This seems counter-intuitive being that I quit smoking, and now my lungs/throat are giving me problems. Perhaps I'll call the Quitline. In fact, for entertainment and content, I'll call right now... [We're sorry...you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service. If you feel you have reached this recording an error, please check the number and try your call again.] Well great. Good thing I wasn't wiggin out over not smoking right then and in need of someone to talk to, otherwise I'd be back on the bandwagon like the media on Tyson. Also, those automated messages imply that you are at fault, never them. If you think you reached this recording an error, couldn't it be the phone company's fault? perhaps young fawn, perhaps.
This weekend was quite the fruitless journey that is house-hunting. On Friday I drove around by myself for 4 and a half hours looking for for rent signs ("faux ras" signs for our French friends). I found a handful, and called about 8 of the numbers and not one person was home. Then, yesterday Weston and I drove around for literally 8 hours looking for places to live, but nothing we found was all that great. We actually were shown two houses by 2 landlords. The first lady was cool. One of those 5'1", spandex shorted, tank top topped, pony tailed with big dogged women. She was way cool tho, and that house was really cool, but kind of small and expensive. The other landlord that showed us a house got out of her car and looked like she had seen a ghost when she looked at us. She was able to tell us valuable things like "I have never rented to three boys before and I am not comfortable with it, but I'll do it anyway", "I have many lawyer friends, my brothers a lawyer. I can sue people easily", and "Listen to this neighborhood. It is quiet. This is not a party neighborhood. I don't like boys." Funny how Weston's landlord never had any problems with them and Nick and My landlord said we were the best tenants they ever had an tried everything to get us to stay. That lady was an idiot. -=RandomThoughtoftheDay=- "If Native American's were more like Ewoks, we'd all be screwed." -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "My insurance does not cover PMS."
S00ry for the no postie yesterday. I had to update the GZ site and I didn't have time to update *this* electronic vixen. Ended up staying at work tonight until like 7:30 talking with Raj and we were also doing some work. Traffic is a lot better on I-25 at 8pm. I also saw My dad's ice hockey game, which was great. He got a sick breakaway and took a killer shot on goal but went just wide. Too bad he doesn't know what I mean when I say "sick game" or "killer shot" or "just wide". Us kids and our damned slang these days. Dad's team won 5-3. Tomorrow should be fun. My parents are coming down for lunch and my team is going out for drinks after work tomorrow. I completely love all this stuff I'm learning and wanting to apply it to my personal website but have no idea what kind of content would call for that. Anyhow, work is cool, My brother told me that there are problems now on The Sims Online where there are gangs of people who will go around harassing individuals, like blocking their way to work causing them to loose their jobs, etc. I figure in this situation you would need professions like law enforcement, but then again, what kind of background check can you do on a 64-bit, 200-polygonal applicant. You'd end up with some crooked cops. Probably be fun for all those 13 year old kids who play it, namely the Culkin brothers. I read this article yesterday and admired it. After an e-mail from jenni today that told me to read it, i thought it is "spread the love" worthy. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Is this toothbrush approved by the American Dental Association?"
My boss just told me that the program that we are all writing will never be sold to anyone. ever. No one outside the company will ever see it. This makes me bow my head in sadness just a little. The project we are working on is now an R&D project for a Larger international program that will be based of of what we are doing. This would be the equuivilen to if you were in a rock band and someone told you that you will still get paid the same, and you still have to play shows, but there will never be an audience for you band again. I am sad but hopefully things will turn out good in the end. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "People always ask, 'What's the worst thing heroin drove you to do?'. I always answer, 'showing up on Maury.'"
Sorry for the late update yesterday. I was up till 4:30am last night helping my sister put together a CD for Gwen who is moving to New York tomorrow. Tonight, I had to say goodbye to both Gwen, and Katie Shuneman. Gwen is moving, like I just said .. two sentences ago, to New York to work at a hospital, and Katie is going to St. Louis and pursuing her dance career (the real kind of dancing, sick-o's). Kind of sad because these are both people who I really love hanging out with, even though it doesn't happen very often, and have never had the chance to hang out with more regularly, as much as we may have talked about it. I hope the both of you good luck, which you won't need because you are both the cat's pajamas at what you do. The first part of the night a bunch of us (for Katie) went to Old Chicago. I need to explain something here. Hanging out with your x-girlfriend (of 4 years) and her new boyfriend is much like hanging out with older relatives that you don't see very often, and like it that way: You laugh at their jokes, smile and nod while they are talking to you, and just seem like you couldn't be happier, while inside you want to punch someone's face, leave wherever your at and express your concern for your total lack of interest in whatever it is they are talking about, or are thinking about talking about because you don't really care. Its the courtesy listen. Projecting an image of happiness and contentness can be your key to quick departure and avoiding the repercussions that may or may not follow the situation. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "All of my filth is arranged in alphabetical order. This, for instance, is under 'H' for 'toy'." "What is it?" "It's a penis stretcher. Do you want to try it?" "No." "I'm just kidding.

Here's the run down. Thursday - Sister Julie got into town from SF and saw niece Sarah for the first time. Ate dinner at Michael and Kat's with all of family. Good times for all parties involved. Friday - Nothing accomplished all day. Drunk accomplished in the night hours made possible by Weston's hastily assembled, yet highly successful party. Weston's father, Kieth showed up and partied for no less than two hours. More good times were obtained. Saturday - As previously posted: 9+ hours of television including several hours of Family Guy. 2+ hours of volleyball starting at midnight. Total hours awake: 11. Sunday - Hockey game. Best this season. Hyenas triumph over Team Dynamo in a 7 to 1 victory. Brozo with the hat trick. Fortney with 2 goals. Myself with a goal and an assist to Brozo. Had more energy than a high school cheerleader on methamphetamines. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- It'll be easy because the updates so late "Yo, I told you, my mother's mother's mother was black!"

Today was the most worthless day I have ever had. I woke up at 3, watched TV for 9 hours, played vollyball for 2 hours, and now I'm going to bed. Posting this is the most productive thing I have done all day, and even this post is worthless. Brett says this post is depressing.
As promised, there is a new mp3 of the week up. A classic in my book, and a lot of other books as I imagine. Be sure to download it before Monday when I should have a new mp3 up. Movie Quote yesterday was Mystery Alaska, and no one got it. I'm a little disappointed in you guys, thats like 3 days with no one getting it right. I quit smoking on Tuesday. Tuesday was the first of the month, which was the date I decided to pick to quit. I understand that it seems odd that my quitting would be on a Tuesday, rather than a Monday, but I deprive myself based off of the calender year, not a day timer. There are a few problems that I can see with not being a smoker anymore. The first, and most obvious, is the lack of excitement. When you smoke, there is always an eminent chance that something or someone will catch on fire. You just never know when. Also, theres always that chance that you might get any one of a number of cancers, varying greatly in severity, location, and related life expectancy. Smoking is just like the Powerball of cancer. The more you play, the better your chances are of winning, and if you do, boy is it exciting. The other thing that sucks about being a non-smoker is that theres never anything to do. When you're a smoker and you get bored, you can smoke, or if your in a traffic jam, smoke. Walking to your car, smoke. Friend goes to the bathroom at a restaurant, smoke. blink your eyes, smoke. It fulfills the need for instant gratification that all humans have. So what do normal people do after eating lunch? I have no idea. I bought all kinds of tic tacs and gum and what not, but its just not the same. O well, I suppose I'll eventually find something to make me happy. Perhaps Wuzzles will fill that void. Perhaps not. The last thing I don't get is this whole medication business. "4. Get Medication and Use It Correctly. Medications can help you stop smoking and lessen the urge to smoke" This is from a 'quit smoking' guide. It doesn't make any sense to me. They also say "Once you quit, don't smoke�NOT EVEN A PUFF!" So--its okay to get your regular supply of nicotine from a patch, but a drag of a cigarette will destroy your chances of quitting? Thats a load of crap. Nicotine patches are a load of crap. Its the same way I feel about Weight loss stuff. If you want to lose weight, exercise. If you want to quit smoking, stop smoking. Simple idea, people. So take that PhilipMorris. I'm not buying your dirty cigarettes anymore. Sure, I'll still buy your fine line of Kraft products, easy mac included, and spend a portion of my paychecks on your Nabisco (National Biscuit Company) products, Oreo's included, but you wont get any money for cigarettes. Take that. That loss of $200 per year kinda hurts, doesn't it? Hurts bad. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "You wanna get nuts? C'mon! Let's get nuts!" -Matt wins
So Nick got laid off today along with 150 other people. They laid off his whole office. His co-worker friend just bought a Mini Cooper. His other friend has a wife and two kids. I feel really bad for everyone, and it really makes me mad. Now we can't live together. Movie Quote yesterday was "A Life Less Ordinary" with Ewan McGreggor and Cameron Diaz. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "This isn't rocket surgery here."
Day 1. My roommate, Nick, started his job today. For him, it was somewhat boring, due to all the reading and what not, but he found out how much some people who are working there are making. He is selling mortgages and he works for Ameriquest now. He found out that one of his co-workers made $20,000 last month alone. Nick said that if he ever made that in one month, he'd be done; call it quits, because it's never gonna get better than that, so whats the use in trying. Nick, I wholeheartedly concur. Movie quote yesterday was from Suicide Kings. It was a tough one. Christopher Walken was the one who spoke it. Be sure to download the mp3otw, because it's gone Thursday morning. Then next week, I have in store another fearsome twosome. Get pumped. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- - "Remember what they didn't teach you at a Harvard Business school.
