I've really been reading a lot lately.  Yesterday I finished the new Harry Potter book, which I loved.  I think its the best one of the series so far.  I won't say anymore for people who are still reading it

I also finished reading Secrets of the Tomb by Alexandra Robbins.  Its about the Skull and Bones, which is a secret society at Yale.  Lots of influential people have been members, such as the Bush family and its a big topic for conspriacy theorists, claiming that its part of a secret world government.  According to the book, where the author interview a lot of Bonesmen as they're called, its really nothing more than a good ole' boys club.  Of course...maybe they're just giving her disinformation.....Either way, it wasn't as interesting as I was hoping it would be.  

Next on my list is Without a Badge by Jerry Speziale.  Its about an undercover DEA agent inside the Cali drug cartel

I never played hooky in high school, nor do I now in law school.  However....undergrad...my friends and I would skip class for just about any reason

Felt like playing 007 for N64, we'd skip class.  Korn was going to be #1 on TRL, we'd skip class.  I used to skip 8 am classes all the time for sleeping in or going to breakfast.  Those were the days

To be quite honest, I don't know why everyone finds this site so funny

So, I'm having horrible luck (for the most part) finding new figures, none of the stores in my town have anything.  I'm thinking about joining the KEBco one of every figure club.  Is anyone here a member of it, is it worth joining?

My avatar is Space Moose.  Space Moose was the star of a an extremelyprofane comic strip that ran in a Canadian college's newspaper in the early 90's.  

I went to Barnes & Noble on Sunday when I was bored, which is always a good way for me to spend too much money

I'm reading No One Here Gets Out Alive, which is a biography of Jim Morrison.  I've always been a fan of The Doors, and I remember wanting to read this book when I was in 5th grade, and my mom wouldn't let me.  Probably a good idea on her part

I rented RTCW a few weels ago for Xbox and I really liked it.  The AI is good, but not great.  Its not at the level of Splinter Cell, but its not bad.  I may buy it if I can find it cheap enough

This is a great topic, can't believe I didn't see it earlier

It was the summer after my freshman year of college, I had managed to get a decent paying job for the summer.  My friend Vo and I went to the local TRU.  We must have looked like an interesting duo.  Vo is a 6'4 black guy who, at the time had a big fro.  I'm a 5'8 little white guy who looked like crap from doing yardwork all day.

We get there probably about 11:00.  There's about 20 people ahead of us in line.  We even see a couple local news crews covering the event.  The NBC news guy comes over to us and asks if we want to be on tv.  We say sure.  He asks a couple questions about why we're here, how many toys we each have, etc.  After the NBC guy is done the Fox News guy interviews us.

They're letting people in 20 at a time.  We're the last people in.  They just had bins of the figures.  We decide on a system.  Vo grabs a cart.  I grab handfuls of toys from the bins and dump them in the cart.  Vo sorts them out and hands me back what we don't need.

And, we get on tv one more time.  As we're checking out, the CBS crew films us.  I had a number of people tell me the next day they saw me on tv

My senior year of college.  I was doing an unpaid internship so I had no money.  So what do I do, buy lots of toys.  When midnight rolls around, I get a friend and we head to Meijer, the only store in the arena that's open 24 hours.  None of the Wally Worlds are, and TRU wasn't doing a midnight sale.

We get to Meijer.  No toys.  They didn't get their shipment.  So we go to another Meijer, same result.  Another toy hunter at Meijer tells me Media Play is open for selling Star Wars stuff.  We drive a half hour to Media Play.  They've got all sorts of Star Wars stuff, except the figures.  I end the night empty handed

I did drag my ass out of bed the next morning and hit up wal mart.
