Truthfully I havent worked on my webpage since last december, and usually only work on it every holiday season. But I'll try to work on the BB Barbie this summer.

Its difficult considering the limited resources I have.

After watching both "Traces of Death" 1 & 2 and losing 4 nights of sleep, I became against the broadcasting of people dying, unless it's non-graphical and envolving no suffering (like dying on sleep) or under the deceased demands.


I think you mean "Faces of Death". Most of the Faces of Death movies are faked. And I dont know if people have downloaded the beheading video or not. I cant find it anywhere, and I only heard about it from watching msnbc.

I've been to a few funerals. The latest one was when my grandpa died last September.

The hardest part was when I got up and read an 8-page story for him next to his casket. And he had a big family that was looking on, so you can imagine how nervous I was.

But when I was done everyone applauded. I felt proud of myself and I'm sure my grandfather was too! Out of all the people who were there, including his many brothers and sisters, I was the only one who said anything.

If you're talking about THX-1138: THX-1138 stars Robert Duvall and Donald Pleasance and is about un underground city where all the people wear white and have shaven heads. The city is policed by robots in police uniforms who savagely beat anyone who disobeys with clubs. THX-1138 is the name of Duvall's character. Sex has been outlawed in the city, but THX-1138 starts falling for his female counter-part. Eventually THX-1138 and Donald Pleasance are arrested and put in a bright white room. They meet up with another inmate and all 3 of them escape. Pleasance is captured, but THX and the other guy make it to an underground road where they hijack two sports cars and escape. THX makes it outside the city, but the other guy dies in a wreck. On the outside of the city THX, still outrunning policemen, runs into mutants who want him for dinner. THX makes it to a ladder and escapes to the surface. The last scene is a beautiful image of Duvall coming out of the top of the ground with the sun shinning behind him.

The movie is very entertaining, but slow at certain moments. In contrast to Star Wars, THX-1138 is darker. And there's lots of artsy and weird scenes in the movie.

Enjoy!

Yes, they have just about every pinball table you can think of. And they're all nicely simulated too!

The problem with Addam's Family and Attack From Mars, and every other game with a dot matrix window, is that they are slow as hell on a low end PC.

All of the pinball tables at AJ's Pinmame site have a dot matrix window. So that means you have to download both the table and the roms. None of the games at IRPinball have a dot matrix, so you only need to download the table from that site. The tables at IRPinball are mostly pre-80's tables and run alot faster too!

"Visual Pinball" is the main program that you need to run all of the tables. If you want to run the dot matrix-tables (like Addam's Family) then you need to download the "Pinmame" program too. You have to unzip the tables folders in the "tables" directory in your Visual Pinball folder, but you put the roms folders in the "Roms" directory in the "Pinmame" folder without unzipping them. If you have any questions give me a hollar.

Deffinately try out this program, because its awesome!

Well its happening right now. It seems that Rumsfeld and his sidekick generals cant answer one simple question. The senators keep asking them relatively easy straightforward questions but they cant seem to answer them. For instance: They asked Rumsfeld what is the general instructions of a guard, and he just curtails the question with blabber. One senator asked one of the generals "When did you first see the (torture) pictures?". General: "Uh....uh....sir...the investigation....first learned about the pictures...uh.." Senator: "I'm asking when did YOU first see the pictures?" General: "Uh....sir....I first saw the pictures....the...last week of march." Senator: "And who did you first report the pictures to?" General: "Uh...sir...the investigation..". etc...

Overall they're making Rumsfeld look really stupid and embarrased and they keep bring up the possibility of his impeachment and saying "Many people have called for your resignation."

And just a few minutes ago Rumsfeld admitted that there was more video that hasn't been released to the public yet. Rumsfeld: "Sir if that video was released to the public it would be devastating. I watched it last night and it just made me sick."

MSNBC also said that protestors interrupted the hearing earlier, but I didn't get to catch it.
