From Entertainment Weekly, March 7, 2003.
"People are always ,"How sad are you that your show never won any awards?" I think it's great! This is the cool show, the show the voters don't get. I've won an Emmy. Okay, it's a Daytime Emmy, but it's still an Emmy. It doesn't mean nearly as much to me as my Nickelodeon Kids' Choice award for Favorite Female Butt Kicker." - Sarah Michelle Gellar |

 Grease (the movie, not the lubricant) was on the telly the other night, so I decided to give it a go, having never seen it before in my recallable past. The songs were familiar to me, and I vaguely remember it having some kind of plot revolving around an american highschool in the 50's.
Well, I was wrong. Grease has no plot what-so-ever. It pained me to watch it's over-acting, listen to it's cheesy dialogue and even more so, it pained me to listen to Gracie speak the cheesy dialogue along with the characters. And she thinks I'm sad for knowing the words to a handful of Simpsons episodes. Gracie grew up watching Grease as a kid, so she knew it all. I, on the other hand had no idea what was going on. Every time the movie looked as if something was about to happen, they'd break into song about something unimportant. I don't know if you've seen the movie, but at one point there's a dream sequence where some guy, who appears nowhere else in the movie, performs a song and dance number about dropping out of beauty school. To top it all off, at the very end of the movie, Danny and Sandy hop into a car and fly away. Thats right, they fly away... WTF!?
You may or may not agree with me, but I'd love you hear your thoughts on this film in the comments for this post. |

 You know what I find annoying? When girls wear tight T-shirts bearing some kind of witty slogan or humourous cartoon, because then when you go to read the shirt, it looks like you're staring at their chest, and while some of those chests may be mighty fine indeed, all I really want to do is read the damn shirt. So, as I'm walking down the street and a girl with such a shirt is walking towards me I try to flick my eyes down every couple of seconds to read the shirt, while trying not to look suss, and by the time she gets closer, I have to look straight ahead and think to myself "Damn, I've missed another one!".
One day, I hope to have the confidence to stop a girl in the street and ask "Excuse me, but do you mind if I read your T-shirt. I just don't want it to look like I'm starting at your ample jugs." but until then it looks like I'll just have to keep missing the jokes.  |

You know what I find funny? I'm 25 years old, yet I still have brain relapses that make me forget that holding a spoon, concave side up, under running water will cause said water to splash on my pants, making it look like I've pissed myself. Even funner is that people older than me then point and go "Ha ha! You've pissed yourself!".
I guess some things you just don't grow out of. |

Every Sunday night, Gracie and I go around to Mum and Dad's for dinner, and last night Mum happened to have rented some videos. After dinner Mum suggested putting on a movie, Original Sin. I looked at the cover, thought "Angelina Jolie, Antonio Banderas, sounds like a bit of allright..." so we deided to stay and watch. What came next we were totally unprepared for.
Within the first half-hour there was a uber-graphic sex scene between the two stars complete with thrusting, asses, bouncing, pounding, pages 46 to 97 of the Karma Sutra... yeah... you get the picture. Now, I dont know about you, but watching sex scenes in front of my Mum doesn't really put me into the most comfortable of positions. It never has. Back when I was a little tacker, whenever a sex scene came on in a movie, Mum would say "Cover your eyes, little Mikey", so I did (occasionally peeking out between my fingers to see what I was missing out on), so there was never really any issue there. However last night just seemed weird. To make matters worse, she kept pointing at the screen and going "Now, you can't tell me that they're not actually doing it. They say that it's not real, but look, you can see his balls!". I went "Euurrghh... Mum, don't say balls..." and make a face like I'd just seen a hideous car wreck. Mum, obviously picking up on my uneasyness, would continue to say "Balls".
Overall, the movie was pretty good, and the sex scenes were probably actually pretty well done. I wouldn't know. I was trying too hard to think about playful kittens and calm blue oceans. |

Well not new persay, but it certainly looks different. I've already gone on about madSite, the new backend system behind Planet MadDog, so I wont repeat myself here other than to say that it rocks, and will rock even more so when version 1.0b is ready for distribution to beta testers soon. I've still got a couple of dozen "to do" checkboxes to tick off before that stage though, but I'll be sure to let you know when it's ready. I've been asked by many about how one goes about installing madSite, so I'll first say that it requires that you have some web hosting somewhere on a Microsoft server, that is to say Windows NT, 2000, XP or the like. Dave K's kindly offered to help me port the system to PHP so that it may be used on non-Microsoft servers, but that might be some time off. In the meantime though, I've found a place with cheap (free actually, but their lowest paying plan will make it easier in the long run) webhosting called Brinkster that supports ASP. I'll be working on making madSite compatible with this particular hosting provider, but it should also have no problems with any other ASP hosts. If you want to be informed when version 1.0b is ready, sign up now.
My Christmas was pretty good as far as Christmas goes. I got a bunch of neat stuff, but unlike previous years, I wont go into detail, describing and photographing everything I received, because, lets face it, nobody cares. I did take photos of the day however, which I'll upload to the gallery soon.
New Years was also a lot of fun. Ade, Braden and Annie came around for BBQ meats, drinks and board game festivities while we counted down the minutes. I copped a black eye from Ade in a bizzare Pictionary dispute. When the clock struck twelve, we all went "YEY!", mucked around in a shopping trolly, then travelled to the lake to see what other shindigs were happening. Finding the place deserted, we ran around on the skate park for a while and walked home. Fun and craziness was had by all. |

Yes, here it is folks. I won't write a great deal right now, as it's 2:50am on New Years Day, and I'm all partied out and quite sleepy. Enjoy the changes, and I'll elaborate more on what's going on a bit later. Cheers and happy new year to you and yours! |

Well the good news is that I'm this close (you can't see, but I'm making very small gestures with my hands right now) to getting the new Planet MadDog ready to go online on New Years Day, which was my goal. What does this mean for you folk? Well probably not a great deal. If you're a fan of my Crazy Conversations section, then you're in for a treat, as that has majorly been updated. If, however, you like to visit the many photo galleries I have on display, you will have to wait, as they've all been taken down until I figure out an easy way to update them. For you see, this is the reason it's taken me oh-so-long to get to this point, I have not just been making a new homepage, but rather a complete template-driven website building system for both experts and novices alike, and Planet MadDog will be my testing ground for new features. I call the system madSite and hope to have version 1.0 ready for beta testing soon. Check out www.madwebskills.com for more information... which brings me to the bad news.
The weather has been insanely hot these past few days. This afternoon I emerged from a cold shower to a weird odor in the air, not unlike Christmas crackers being popped. Gracie and I searched the entire house to find the source of this smell, but no dice, so I decided to hop on to the PC to work on getting some more Crazy Conversations into the database. Long story short: the power supply in my computer has overheated to the point of popping and ceasing to function. Being Saturday evening, I won't be able to try and source a new power supply until Monday, taking two days out of my tight deadline to get Planet MadDog 2 going. My goal is still to get the site up on New Years Day, but at this stage it's not looking too good. I'm posting this on my dial-up server box which is quite weedy and lacks the files needed for me to continue updating. Fingers and toes are crossed. |

I haven't done one of these in a while but this one was too cool not to share.
Calm and cool, you're not really an ANIME character, but what the hey...you're cool, so here you are. You are driven, have a purpose, and have problems with your family. You love your mommy (Jenova) and you hate your daddy (Hojo), but you will get even, RETURN TO THE PLANET! You have some MAD SKILLZ when it comes to combat, but you're kinda mixed up in the head... ReverseBlade!

It may look like I've been neglecting Planet MadDog of late, but in fact it's quite the opposite. My efforts have been concentrated on reaching my goal of having the all-new Planet MadDog up and online by the end of the year. In the mean time, here's an interim post to tide you over.
TOP 10 THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T AROUSE YOU, BUT PROBABLY DO, YOU SICK BASTARD
- Judy Jetson - She may be one of the hottest cartoon characters around, but say it with me: "SHE'S A CAR-TOOON". Sheesh.
- Sexy female cartoon animals - Furries, you sicken me. Nuff said.
- This guy - *shudder* I'm sure he's a lovely man, honest.
- Commodore 64 pörñ - Yep, computerised nudity was around long before the Internet.
- Cosplayers - "Look! She's dressed as Boob-Li from anime sensation Sexy Go-Go Vampire Tenticle-X!"
- Computer hardware - "Ooooooh, yeah. Now say something about Gigs."
- Used underwear - Even though the whole Japanese vending machine thing was probably an urabn myth, somebody still had to think of it.
- E3 booth babes - The fact that E3 uses booth babes to tempt impressionable nerds into viewing their products is bad enough without these sorts of websites.
- Feet - Foot fetishes? Nope, don't understand, sorry.
- ASCII - Umm, okay...
