"On the Air..." After the primary explosion in the computer, the vital transistors flying in their paths, and a week of fiddling with this darned thing, surprise suprise it's back working.. or almost. Almost cuz now the CD-Rom is acting funny and every CD I slap in it gives me errors here or that file there isn't reading corretly. What a pain. But at least DOS' Edit works. I finally saw ID4, I want to see it again. Love is a chess game, however I lost track of my pieces. Work, more work, just work. "Do you work here?" I was asked at the new office where I work. "Yes" I answered "However we do not sell eggnog". Welcome to Issue Five. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Women: according to Rob W., 1,11-25 It was a dark night. Well, actually not so dark. But it was dark enough, so there. Peter and I had just returned from the beach after looking at the weirdest moon, rising from Lake Ontario. It had this strange red glow to it, and "ID4" was still in our minds. Unfortunatly for us, it was really the moon and not an alien spaceship filled with evil desire. On our way back we stopped for something to eat at a little coffee shop, the only place open at 4 in the morning. We sat there without saying much for a few minutes when we suddenly heard "Guys!!" and in comes Rob W. with his friend, Jerry A. who where at the pub next door after a long day at work. They sat down at our table and we all began to bitch and complain. I began talking (more like whining) about this girl I like which seems to be immune to all my techniques. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Don Juan, but I'm not even a fat slob (sorry 'bout that Jumi). "I just don't get it" I bitched and complained, and once I start it's hard to stop me "she says one thing for weeks, then changes her mind in one day and says something completely different!". "Girls work just like baseball" explained a not-so-sober Rob W. "You are the batter" and he began adjusting his hat and pretending he was holding a bat in his hands "The girl you like" and he pointed somewhere in front of him as if he could actually see 'her' "She is the pitcher, holding on that ball, chewing on that gum, grinning". Then shifting to his right as if something had bitten him in the ass "Her best friend is the catcher! Don't be fooled that just because she is standing next to ya, that she is yer friend! No! She smiles at you and signals the pitcher." "What about the stuff she says and then suddenly, one day, she changes opinion?" I dared to interrupt. "I was getting there! Anyway, you are seating there, bat in your hand waiting, and she throws a ball! Then another one! And another one! By now you are expecting another ball, right?" There was no use trying to figure out what he had just said and to attempt answering him, he was already on the next sentence. "Well you get ready, the sun is right, even the gum in your mouth is tasting right, and she throws. And guess what? It's a curved ball!" He chuckled a bit, we all laughed. Suddenly he raised his arms halfway and his hands looked as if he was holding something in front of him. "Sometimes" he went on "my girlfriend calls me and says something so particularly absurd that I go into shock!" and as he said that he placed the two imaginary objects he was holding, looked at me and said "clear" and he jolted just when they try to revive someone. I didn't really learn anything new that night, but at least Rob W. was able to explain in a funny way the things that were bothering me. Don't get me wrong but in a guys' world, girls are pretty weird. I'm sure it works the other way around as well (wouldn't mind hearing about from some of you). I guess gays and lesbians are afraid of the challenge that a person with their genitals assembled differently can be, so they just stick with what they know. Remember folks, weird doesn't necessarely mean bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------ INDEPENDENCE DAY Well over all I think that it was a good movie. There were a few holes in the plot (about 15km across). Such as; i. Will Smith tells his girl friend who is a stripper to come and stay with him on the base. Before she can reach the base the ships strike and start the massive fires. She dives into a maintence shed with the dog and lives. Then she proceeds for the base. Will Smith "borrows" a helicopter and goes out to find her. Sure enough he does. ii. The president of the Unites States stays in the White House? iii. I really don't think that a "cable guy" would be the one to save the world. iv. True the aliens have stronger weapons but I don't think that the kind of defeat that they managed would be possible. In short I rather liked the movie and the special effects were great and the sequel will most likely be an action film where aliens in hiding come out or another race comes down or another ship comes to find out what happened. Same deal with Jurassic Park 2, they will go back to the island only to reclaim it. Rating: ******** worth the $8.50 for the effects. Peter Sprokkelenburg R&S Team --- I thought the movie was cool. A bit too american for my tastes, and of course the usual victory at the end with the great speach of the US president that seriously brought tears to my eyes. "it's not a matter of freedom" he said "it's fighting for our right to live, we are fighting to survive". It had sad bits, but many happy bits as well (waving at the alien while they are in the ship and saying "he doesn't know what's coming to him"). Not a bad movie, and I can't wait for the sequel as well. I'm just afraid to see it because usually sequels suck compared to the original movie. Let us know what you thought of it. The Canadian version of ID4 would've probably been called VD1, for Victoria Day July 1st. However since we don't have a President I guess our Prime Minister will have to do. The alien will communicate through some french scientist and there will be a complete lack of understanding between what Chretien (our PM)will try to say and what the dead french quebecois scientist is not really saying.
