thecubsfan has finally gone insane: Anyone subscribe to Figure 4 Daily? Did you hear the show with KrisZ? I heard it myself, and – well, I don’t know how to explain this without sounding crazy, but I’m 72% sure Bryan got myself and KrisZ mixed up for at least the first five minutes of the conversation. The first question was about the luchaWiki, and while KrisZ has an account and made some edits (I think) and been plenty helpful be doing the news/results he does, but it’s odd first topic for him yet a better topic to ask thecubsfan, since I just squeezed in a plug at the end of my interview back whenever, and plugged it here in talking about that interview.
(It’s a PERFECT topic for Jose, who Bryan or someone should get on to talk about having dinner with famous lucha people, if nothing else. That’s a money half hour interview right there.)
There were other things too, but that one was easiest to explain. The interview was good, and it’s a worthwhile listen, but I need to know if that actually happened or if I’m hallucinating weird things (again.) You know, just to get orientated. This has been bugging me for days now.
non-content about content: Things have been a bit quiet of late, updatewise. I’ve been working on a minor project that I hope to have done by 2006, but right now, it’s only a bunch of ill thought out programming no one’s seeing. I do plan on doing some updates to the wiki tomorrow if all goes well (and so it shall not.)
Last year, the Tapatia award voting opened up on the 26th, and I’ve started to write an actual preview/primer a couple of times with that date in mind. Since I started watching Guerreros del Ring, I’ve been thinking it might be worthwhile to push everything back in to January (probably not even starting prelims till 01/04.) While I don’t think anything that happens in the next two and half weeks is going to dramatically change things, we (or at least I) am getting more a couple more weeks of TV of 2005 TV in 2005, so we might as well take it into account.
The downside is everyone may be sick of awards by January, and I wouldn’t blame you. So someone can feel free to shoot this down or suggest an alternative. I love alternatives.
DVDs for, well, uh, um…: This is beyond stupid.
See, I’ve got this DVD writer, and I’ve got blank DVDs, and I’ve got these lucha episodes which are current yet apparently scarce enough to be of some value, and apparently I don’t have enough stupid projects. Assuming I can master the skill of “pressing the record button in a timely matter”, I think I can handle making 3 episode blocks of GdR, if there was any interest.
The thing is – and this is the great beyond – I have absolutely no idea what I’d want in exchange. I don’t want to make money off this site in any fashion (a policy that hasn’t come up much, admittedly), so that’s out. I’ve got tapes here, tapes on the way, and no idea when I’ll watch any of them, so I don’t really like that idea. That’s the basic problem – I may have a supply, but I don’t have a clue what to demand.
I’m just going to leave it open. If you’re a regular and really want some DVD-Rs (which may or may not work – hey ROBERT), e-mail me and maybe we can work out some easy terms. If you’re a person I don’t know, then you probably need some awesome offer or I’m not going to work up the effort to respond, much less make anything. If you’re a beautiful stranger who’d like to make some sort of lewd offer, I’ll print it out and put it on my refrigerator. Or maybe I’ll rethink this when I wake, and this paragraph will just mysteriously disappear tomorrow (wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened this week.)
No GdR recap today; maybe I’ll pull myself together for it on Thursday.
Oh man don’t get me started on the bullshit that took place today. All day at work I was happy knowing I’d come home to Stuka Jr. and Hooligan. Got home at 7:30… and… NOTHING. Was so pissed I actually went back into work and looked up the tracking number.
“Package has been rescheduled for delivery on December 15th”.
WHAT?
THEY CAN’T RESCHEDULE A DELIVERY – ONLY I CAN! It’s like making a dentist appointment… if I need to reschedule, I do it! I DIDN’T WANT TO RESCHEDULE MY DELIVERY!!!
ARGH!!!
So tomorrow I should be getting it and will let you know if the DVD’s work.
Before I left for the States, Bryan wanted me to come on F4W but I had to pass with things being hectic and suggested Jose… however Jose doesn’t speak English that well so the show would probably stink unless he just typed stuff to Bryan who then read it out loud.

Bryan speaks Spanish! They totally should do a F4Radio ESPANOL show.
I do agree about the Kris Z thing. It certainly sounded like he thought Kris was one of the people behind LuchaWiki. I don’t know if he necessarily thought you were Kris, though.
Yeah I didn’t catch it until I listened and he thought that even after I said that you & Jose were the main people behind the site.
Hola~!
I didn’t confuse you guys, though I probably was confused a bit about the Wiki. I remember when Cubsfan was on I didn’t ask about it and he threw in that plug at the end, so I figured when Kris was on I would ask him about it. That was pretty much the deal there. But it is perfectly understandable for people to assume that I would be confused about something.
