"Four Words: You Suck!"

I think the President did it. He managed the mediocrity threshold I mentioned in a prior entry. Further Kerry seems to be collapsing in on himself. You know someone thinks he's in trouble when the person question has a political rally at midnight. Did anybody else catch the you suck! line for an audience member after Kerry's line "I have four words"? Inspiring.

I missed the first night of the convention. I did hear part of Rudy's speech and not really any of McCain's. This is too bad since those were two of the greatest speeches ever delivered apparently. I did get to watch Cheney's, Mrs. Bush's and the "Bush twins" or whatever they are. I also got to see a large majority of Zell Miller's speech. Now that was a good one! As was Arnold's.

The President's actually was also good, but I'm not sure I approve of the content. And that protester or protesters was/were annoying also. Can't you shut up for a couple hours and let someone else talk? Damn nazis. Anyway I've all that stuff from the Bush speech before. Four years ago almost to the day as I recall. Let’s just say "I'll believe it when I see it" (and even then I'll be highly suspicious).

In other semi-news I received another part for the Super VCR Mod I haven't worked on in a really long time. And I found the mini ATX power supply I thought I had lost some place. Perhaps now I'll finally be able to work on it.

Work-wise I'm taking calls on my own now. Or at least mostly on my own. Now the real job begins. With any luck I'll be working there for quite a long time.

Oh and I "graduated" from training today so I got to see the fruits of the labor from the "iLife" day when we got to make little mini-movies. The movies from the other groups were pretty good. Or two of them were anyway. The third didn't really look like it had been complete edited but was still pretty funny the way they did it. My group's on the other hand got some good reaction but I wasn't over-dubbed as was promised by the rest of my group so that thing that happens when I'm recorded and/or video taped happened (namely I look and sound extremely bad). Not everybody's a natural in front of the camera, ok?

My group mates that did do the final editing (leading up to minutes before it was shown) put in some of the clips I brought in: some from Dumb and Dumber, some from Ace Ventura: When Nature calls and some of course from the cult favorite (the cult consisting of me alone) Knights. The Dumb and Dumber audio clips came from the dream sequence, both from Jim's character and from the Kung Fu chef that gets some throw down with the Three Stooges sounds thrown in. The Knights clip was my favorite character saying "oh no, am I on fire now?", my favorite line of course (besides "where do ya plan to stick that thing?!").

I was honestly laughing pretty hard at it. And the scenes without any sounds kind of made it funny also. Very F-movie-ish, if there were such a thing.

Well I'm going to bed. Long day.
