Wrong Number...

Okay, so, all is pretty well in Samurailand this week. Rettb and I had it out and I think he now understands his "role" in the team. We had a good practice on Sunday and we are all excited for our upcoming huge gig. Which brings me to my concern this week. Our gig is on April 28th, not the 14th, even though it says the 14th in the sidebar, just to the right of this post. Everytime I visit this blog, which is, like, a bazillion times a day, I see that date and I desperately want to change it. But, guess what? I can't. I don't have "access". Who does, you ask?

Mr. C.J. Conklin, who is, by the way, a liar.

CJ Conklin started this blog and asked us all to "contribute". I'm the creative one in the group, so I immediately started coming up with a "look" for the blog. I found an 8-bit picture of a ninja on the net and repeated it in photoshop, like a million times, and then mirrored half of the ninjas, so it looks like half a million ninjas fighting half a million other ninjas. In other words, AWESOME! I also found this really cool stop-motion animation movie of this guy who is riding this other guy like a skateboard and does kickflips and ollies and no-hander backside 900s and I was totally gonna put it in the sidebar 'cuz it would give people something to look at and it wouldn't be annoying at all. Well, after doing all that work (six hours), I logged on to the blogger (ten minutes. I have dial-up.), only to be told that I wasn't "allowed" to make changes to the template. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! I confronted CJ Conklin about this on Sunday and he assured me that HE would make all the changes when he got home. So, I sent him all my awesome design files (2 hours. Dial-up) with specific instructions about placement and colors and stuff and well, do YOU see any Ninjas? No. Is the date of our gig correct? Also, no. Are you enjoying the really cool stop-motion animation movie of this guy who is riding this other guy like a skateboard and does kickflips and ollies and no-hander backside 900s? No numero tres.

Dear CJ Conklin,
Webmaster does NOT mean "Master of the Universe and all the people in it". Please stop hurting the team with your power trip.

Yours in Comedy,

Paul

All you have to do is invert the colors so the ninjas are samurais. THEN I'll post it.

As for the other stuff, still downloading. I'm working with a 14400 baud modem here. I've been going for like 16 hours, but since I don't know how to turn off call waiting, any time someone calls (which is constantly b/c I'm awesome) the stoopid thing disconnects and I have to start over.

Anyone know how to turn off call waiting? I lost my CompuServe pamphlet that said how to do all that stuff. It was like *100000 or something before dialing the number.
