Setting Orange, Chaos 65th, yC 3169 My writing was so much better when I was doing the newspaper schtick. Yeah I wasn't consistent but the writing always seemed to have superior composition and was less obtuse compared to regular diary entries. Plus there's so much going on right now that's interesting and hilarious like Michael Jackson hiring an African witch doctor to put voodoo on Steven Speilberg, David Geffen and others he claims are the "Gay Mafia" for killing his career. Jacko hates black people and refers to them as "spabooks". What the fuck is that? A Vulcan negro, a combination of "spook" and "Spock"? In Yer Dreams! Last night had the best damned episode of Enterprise that I have ever seen in my life. This episode took place in a space station where some of the crew were left while the ship went elsewhere to be repaired after an encounter with some hostile aliens (obviously). T'Pol was there and there was another vulcan who knew that she had undergone some vulcan treatment meant only for prisoners that leaves rough scars on the left side of the head. He kept taunting her about how he was more vulcan than she is because he had never felt emotion and she should feel subservient to all others of his species. T'Pol was markedly less emotional than this fellow and stated her case about equality but the other vulcan just wasn't listening to her. When no one was around in the docking bay, which was a long, clear tube ribbed with metal and used earlier for a giant penis, she stalked over to him and grabbed him by the throat and hurled him into the docking tube which had no pressure or atmosphere. The last couple of minutes were spent watching his now dessicated body float out into infinity never to be found again. I kept thinking "This is the best damned episode ever!" and I was so fucking happy about it to the point that I'd dream about waking up and writing this down for my site. SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT DECEMBER 2003 December 2003 will have the return of the newspaper format. Rejoice or something. Even More Subheads I spent most of today playing Masters of Orion and I was playing human this time who claimed New Jersey as their homeworld with all their colonies named after various towns. The second planet I found was artifacts and when I colonized it that world was named Murray Hill after the town which hosts the famed Bell Laboratories. One thing that I seriously suck at is combat and building ships. What was really cool about this game is after I colonized my second planet I found Orion! Of course the guardian owned me and I was upset about that since I am still fumbling around trying to build a decent ship that will strike fear and serious damage into the other races who dare stand before me whichever race I choose to represent my empire. Anyway I just abstain, abstain, abstain when it comes up for elections and do my best to colonize as many planets as possible no matter what I am playing because after a while it really starts to suck when I'm stranded on a local cluster of stars colonized by me while the other folks have gone out and populated the other 4/5ths of the galaxy.
