http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself. — The Prisoner Sun, 09 Nov 2008 07:36:42 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en As some of you may already be aware, I have returned from a three month stay in Vancouver, Canada, which is home to not only the Cactus Club Cafe and its spiked frapps (a coffee drink with alcohol, served like a slushie in a martini glass, costing $7 CDN) but ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/11/my-vero-pilgrimage/ So today Alec and I went to see the Clone Wars movie. It was a nicely done movie, and enjoyable. Obviously, it was your basic Star Wars action flick, and if you're a Star Wars fan you'd enjoy it. There's not much of a story here, and the main draw is ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/08/clone-wars/ Anyway, after a long five days of cataloging props, we're taking some time off this weekend. (We're still hitting up the office for three or four hours to get things organized a bit.) We've received some much needed shelving from the set dec people and are going through what stuff ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/08/weekend-update-screw-you-norm-macdonald/ Yes, I've been in Vancouver since the 6th. I can tell you now that it's very beautiful up here. As with any major city, it's congested like hell and driving is a bitch. Plus there's construction happening on basically every other road, it seems. On the upside, I can pretty ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/08/in-human-occupied-vancouver-a-belated-frakking-blog/ This will be my last post in Vero Beach, Florida for a while... I'm very happy that this is the case. That is all. http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/08/last-post-in-vero/ Monday was basically finalizing everything I needed for my trip, and getting some last minute things out of the way. It was also an excuse to go out and get some new clothes and finishing things that I had been procrastinating on for a few days now. Otherwise, I'm packed ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/08/ready-for-vancouver/ Late Monday night I was forwarded an e-mail from my old man, which basically was grossly over exaggerating an old scam. AT&T and Snopes.com, whose links are included in the e-mail, ironically downplay the text of the scare-mail. Please read AT&T's and Snopes's responses to this issue... then compare it ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/08/the-overexaggerated-809-area-code-scam-fudding/ Hello nuggets, Welcome to my personal, personal blog-o. As you might notice, my "earlier material" is filled with foul language, psychotic rants, and some insight into my loves and hatreds. My earlier material is from when I really needed to let off steam (i.e. when I was figuring out what the ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/08/welcome-nuggets/ Yes, I saw this on a friend's myspace blog, and decided to do it. It's pretty accurate, except for the "planning" thing. Not that organized, sorry to tell ya. Your Five Factor Personality Profile Extroversion:You have low extroversion. You are quiet and reserved in most social situations. A low key, laid back lifestyle is ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/07/because-im-a-drone-like-everyone-else/ Ok, so here's the thing Best Buy... you suck. Seriously, I read this article at Bloomberg that mentions that Best Worst Buy lowered their earnings forecast for the year. Of course, while I could care less about their earnings (I hope the company and its outlets of pure evil burns to ... http://joebeaudoin.net/wordpress/2008/02/no-excuses-just-results/
