Here's what new with me.

1. Teresa and I are starting the paperwork to sell or small house (1433 sq ft) and build a new house with 5 bedrooms and about 2440 sq ft, because we need room.

2. My job is winding up and I'm going to take a new job in the same division probably sometime in 2003. It turns out that my manager is getting to be a real asshole idiot, also.

3. This whole 4-day weekend I'm busy designing and writing a set of Animated STAR TREK trading cards for Rittenhouse Archives. I'm writing the synopses and secondary (behind the scenes) text for the card backs and am choosing the front and back images. It will be a 198 episode card set plus autograph and cast cards.

4. I just read book number 23, I plan on reading 30 this year. I'm halfway through "The Dreams Our Stuff is Made Of" by Thomas M. Disch. In it he uses the word "zeitgeist" just like I did much to your combined chagrin: "A few years can make a profound difference in one's zeitgeist, our sense of how the present meshes with history." How about that, I was right. Go figure.

5. Chelsea, Phoebe and I are real excited about the new Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings movies. We're watching talk show and trailers to see the latest clips and news. It's just like we all used to do for the STAR WARS films, 20 years ago.

6. I just saw Eminem's "8-Mile" movie. That some dope shit, dog!

7. My family (5 of us) will be visiting my Mom in Phoenix the weekend before Thanksgiving for 4 days or so.

8. I loved "Interview with a Vampire", but I was blown away by its sequel, "The Queen of the Damned." I'm going to read the first four Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles real soon. I bent the rules and let Phoebe (aged 10) watch "The Queen of the Damned". It had no language or sex, just some vampire violence. It's now her favorite movie after Spider-man. She's so much like me.

9. I'm starting to watch B5 in cronological order (starting with the Prequel, The Gathering, etc.). I'm on episode 12. Last month I watched the last 80 eps of DS9 in order. Sweet!

10. Next year I'm going to buy a new computer, a Mac G4, that I will set up with the Electric Image 3D computer modeling-rendering-animation suite. I want to create 3D environments that can be visited with QuickTime VR either online or on DVD. Kinda like Myst, but the places will be famous TV residences, Trek sets and ultimately 1939 World's Fair and 1950's Disneyland. This is the new thing I'm going to get into.

11. Check out the latest NASA news, STAR TREK predicted it right!

12. The kids are healthy and happy. Here's a picture of them at Halloween. Chelsea, who turns 12 in 3 weeks, gets her braces off next month. Chloe is a load of laughs and is real smart and tricky, she turns 3 in January.

That's about all.

Oh, and a get together the second week of August in Vegas? Of course I can make it.

- Curt

Damn straight you need the room. You need a room to display all your 'busts' that you made. I thought you were looking for work that would get you OUT of Ridgecrest?

That's excellent!!! I still think it would be hilarious for Curt to replicate a Star Trek animate cell but in the background, insert an animated version of Curt as one of the landing party. Hell, make one that shows all of us...I'd love to see an animated version of Ken with that moustache of his.

Oh Good Lord we have come full circle. We have talked about all things we could possible talk about. Whats the point of living...We have returned to 'zeitgeist', it is time to shut down the shop and fade off into the sunset.

I just bought the DVD "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back"...funny movie. Funnier than Dogma. Brought back memories of scifi conventions, comics, driving to Yuma to Return of the Jedi, standing in lines and just being a bunch of stupid ass fucks and trying to get laid and getting drunk and watching Ken fight off Marge and Mary.
(Hey, at least YOU guys weren't lying in bed with Sherri Showalter? AND Mary....trying to get Sherri naked and make out with her yet having to do the same thing with Mary...but not as quickly...yet at the same time...but Sherri would be such a nice lay...and Mary is...Mary is....Aaaiiieeeee!!!!

Curt, you should try to hook up with John & Kenbo while you are out there.

Geez, I can't get Hayden to watch the 1950s movie Atomic Submarine...he was getting so scared. It was a stretch for him to see Spider-Man. At first the goblin and his laughter was getting too intense for him. I thought I made a big mistake taking him. But he was better afterwards....and saw the movie again with Khe-Huong from S.Korea..and didn't have a problem.

No FUCKING WONDER you didn't have time to keep the old Hogalum site going...you DS9 watchin' fuck! :)

Y'know Curt, It would be great if you had time to create a VR setting of the Inner Compass retail store I envision. It would be a great visual to add to presentation to investors when the opportunity opens up.


Damn its snowing today!!!

Curt, it's great to hear from you!

>>1. Teresa and I are starting the paperwork to sell or
>>small

Your timing is impeccable, mortgage-rate-wise

>>3. This whole 4-day weekend I'm busy designing and
>>writing a set of Animated STAR TREK trading cards

What's a four-day weekend?

I am an animated version, Jeff!

I was never chagrined, and I make it a point never to combine my chagrin. You are certainly welcome to use any word any way you see fit.

A bit of an overstatement, Jeff.

>>6. I just saw Eminem's "8-Mile" movie. That some dope
>>shit, dog!

I won't bother telling you how the preceding phrases parse through my Random House Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language.

>I just bought the DVD "Jay & Silent Bob Strike
>Back"...funny movie. Funnier than Dogma. Brought back
>memories of scifi conventions, comics, driving to Yuma

Oh Good Lord we have come full circle. We have talked
about all things we could possible talk about. Whats
the point of living...We have returned to 'Marge,' 'Mary,' and 'Sherri.' It is time to shut down the shop and fade off into the sunset.

Indeed. Give me a call.

I would love to see B5 in order.
