How funny is it that I named my character in City of Heroes "Phantom Avenger"? Too bad they don't let heroes have capes. :)
In other news, we saw "Shrek 2" on Wednesday. Let me just say I didn't think it was anywhere near as funny as people are saying. In fact, I didn't laugh until the other fairy tale characters came to rescue Shrek and Donkey and the cat at the end. I did think the cat was funny I guess. Other than that, it wasn't all that. We're probably seeing "The Day After Tomorrow" tonight, so we'll see how that goes.

'America's favorite mouse' makes a stand on State Street

TrekWeb.com - UPN Executive Talks ENTERPRISE Renewal
Yes, I actually did call UPN and ask to be directed to the voicemailbox for 'Enterprise', and I did leave a message saying how much I enjoyed the show and wanted it to return for another season.
No, I do NOT dress in a Starfleet uniform.

ESPN.com: Page 2 - Suddenly feeling Sleepy
Like VH1's show about "40 Greatest Celebrity Feuds," the show where the Biggie-Tupac feud didn't even crack the top five. Wait a second -- didn't both guys die? What else needed to happen? You're telling me that the Biggie-2Pac feud was slightly tamer than the Dixie Chicks and Toby Keith? Really?
Oh man...this is funny as hell.

On the heels of the Survivor finale, my friend Arnold and I came up with a list of anti-All Stars. Basically, a list of total Survivor losers.
Skinny Ryan - non-factor, whined about being voted off when the castoffs returned shortly
Ghandia - drama queen who accused Ted of sexual harassment
Osten - quitter
Kel - accused of eating beef jerky
Sean - could have voted out Richard Hatch but didn't due to alphabet strategy
Michael - took a nosedive into the fire, thereby losing his tribe's numerical superiority
Lex - Total tool
Silas - Picked off older tribe members one by one, acted cocky, tribes then swapped members. 'uh oh'
Linda - hyper religious womman who went crazy when they killed a chicken to eat it.
Jon - lied about his grandmother dying
Lil - acted morally superior & still did the normal survivor lying. got only 1 vote for the million
Robb - acted like an ass, swore up a storm, and tried to strangle KKKLay
And this is just a list without any researching. :)

I haven't even talked about the Survivor finale, so here goes...
I'm not amazed at all Boston Rob kept Amber with him for the final 2. Obviously, they were really into each other and if he'd gotten rid of her he'd never hear the end of it.
Lex and Alicia can stick it. What babies. Hello...It's called 'Survivor', not 'Make Everybody Love You'. I tell the same thing to Court about 'Monopoly'. It's not called 'Make Friends'. Believe me, if they could have traded places with Rob and played as well as he did, they would have. It's a MILLION DOLLARS. They looked like idiots up there trashing Rob for PLAYING THE DAMN GAME. They can stick it.
Big Tom seems like an honorable guy, and he really did get betrayed, so he gets a pass on his comments...especially during the reunion show because he obviously was pissed that Rob called his son a 'total dumbass' or whatever it was.
The Tivo cut the last minute out of the reunion show because the finale run long. I didn't see about the 'you pick who gets the million' but I heard about it later. I've heard that there are videos of each person on the cbs survivor website telling why they should get the million. I haven't seen any of them, but I've heard Rupert is asking for the million because 'his family needs it'. Sorry, no. MAYBE your family needs $100,000 if you're badly in debt. Nobody NEEDS a million. A million is a windfall. It totally changes EVERYTHING. This isn't money you get and go 'well, now I can pay my student loans' or 'now I can get my car fixed'. It's a total jackpot. Nobody NEEDS it.
That said, Rupert will probably win, but I'm voting for Rob. He played the game the best out of all of them, and lost the million for doing so. He definitely deserves it. Whereas Rupert played the game like most people would...be being a nice guy.

I'm in CISSP training all week this week...there's even a study session on Saturday. The certification test is on Sunday.
Class is held in a small conference room at the Courtyard Orland Airport Hotel. I could have stayed at the hotel but it's only 10 minutes away from the house so I didn't think it'd make much sense. Plus, I just spend half of last week away from home so I wouldn't have wanted to be away for another week, especially since we'll be leaving for IL next Friday.
I'm also glad I didn't stay at the hotel because it's BIG TIME humid in there. I mean, the hallway outside the classroom smells like Dagobah. Everyone else's books were all curled up because of the humidity, but mine wasn't. ha-ha
Anyway. Steve Kerr was on 'five good minutes' today! Woo hoo! I still remember Steve from his uber-status in NBA Live '97 (I think) for the PSone while we played in college. (Oh, and I think he played for the Bulls once too.) I'm not telling any lies here when I say I once had Steve put up a Wilt-Chamberlain-style 100 point game. He was draining threes on zero energy. And I was laughed at when I drafted him for our custom teams. I'm not making this up.
I've noticed that PTI-isms have started creeping into my vocabulary. Things like she's still getting it done and this is a _____ situation.

My sister has some pretty funny comments about a recent TV showing of "The Goonies". It's a great flick. One of those that I can't wait to show my FutureKids(TM). Comedy, adventure, excitement, blaa blaa blaa. It's good stuff. Anyway.
Funny thing is...we had watched it a bunch of times as kids from this cruddy tape that we had. It didn't have commercials or anything (or even breaks in the tape stream where commercials had been paused out) and I assume Mom had taped it off cable during one of our short stints of actually having cable back then. Anyway...there's a scene at the end where the kids have just escaped the cave and the police and their families have arrived to pick them up. They're all telling the stories about their adventures and the cops are going 'yeah, right, ok, whatever' and all that. And Chunk (I think) says something like 'and then there was the octopus!' and since there was NO octopus in our showing of the movie we had always just figured it was BS, since that was definitely in line with the character throughout the whole movie.
Of course, if it was Data who said that I'm probably sounding pretty stupid here.
Cut to the end of the story. YEARS later, and I mean YEARS, independent of each other my sister and I stumbled upon an actual airing of the ENTIRE movie. And there actually IS a damn octupus scene in the movie along with some other stuff they cut out for time and all that. How funny is that.

The Cubs got trounced in their last two games, but that stopped after tonight's 4-3 Cub victory! Maddux is a GREAT guy to have in the rotation to stop the bleeding, and he did just that tonight. The Cubs never trailed tonight (I think) buy the D-backs did tie it up late after Steve Finley's third home-run of the night.
During the top of the 8th Richie Sexson tried to check his swing and seemingly popped something in his left wrist. He went down to his knees right afterwards so I'm thinking it's something serious. The guy's a notorious Cub-killer but it's never good when somebody gets hurt. He's not in our division anymore anyway. Hopefully it's nothing too bad.

Sights, sun and surf await thousands of sailors visiting for Fleet Week: South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Steve and I drove to Port Everglades after class today to see if we could see any of the ships. We were stopped by security at the gates to the port though...it's not opened to the general public.
Oh well...it would have been nice to see the Enterprise.

Wow...Prince was playing there as I was driving past. Wait...I don't care about that either.

Arrived in Sunrise, Florida for my training this week. Monday and Tuesday I'll be taking cellular training down here. I made the trip in under 3 hours thanks to mapquest. I'm staying at a Crowne Plaza hotel now, pretty much in the shadow of where the Florida Panthers play...as if I care about Florida sports.
Watched the Cubs game with Court before I left today. Clement pitched a gem...giving up only 2 hits I think, the first of which was a homer by Karim Garcia who almost broke his arm by catching an Alex Gonzalez foul ball and then running into the padded brick wall in the right field foul territory and then ended up batting 10 minutes later. Great game by Clement!
Training tomorrow and Tuesday and then I'll spend some time with Sam on Wednesday before leaving to drive home. Then, CISSP orientation session on Sunday with boot camp Monday--->Friday, study session Saturday and test on Sunday. Wish me luck!
