Today was a great day. Like usual, the movies all started on time, no customer complaints about the presentation -- even some mild applause on the cue mic. Our newest trainee is a quick learner, attentive, and is almost ready to work a solo shift. Things have definitely been very professional around here lately. Anybody else having good experiences?

Brian -- just kidding with you.

A perfect day for me at the screening room would be when all the films are short and the start times have been adjusted to suit enabling me to run three and still get out before 4:00 PM. Maybe a brief screening for a post production house before my first feature screening for some added revenue. Oh, and let all the day's prints have never been plattered and come in tails-out for easiest inspection. Since this is a perfect day there would also be a night show to be run by one of my assistants for maximum use of the room.

Today was not a great day!

I just got back from a local parade and clubbin' and tripped over a 3-reel ICC film shipping can. I spilled my "super-sized" R&C all over the living room carpet. I will leave the mess there for today and call someone to replace the carpet tomorrow.

Then, while backing out of my driveway to go and get more rum, I ran over the neighbor's Chihuahua and squished it.

RIP: TACO

I went to look for a shovel to scrape the remains off my drive and accidentally knocked over my Ninja 250 and bent the handlebar!

Finally, I was able to throw the carcass on the neighbor's lawn and wash-down my drive and get to the liquor store.

While I was there, a guy comes in with a gun and robs the place and me of my last $19.

So, how was your day?

Today was a total disaster for me; I made my first really big film mistake. See assistant projectionist thread in this forum.

I had a great day today!

I got a cable from M saying I needed to meet her at HQ. I show up and she informs me of my new assignment in Berlin. After I left her office, the lovely Moneypenny was waiting for me. It's been awhile since I've been with a lady, so I figured what the heck. We hopped into the Aston, found a nice hotel, and made sweet love before my 8pm flight out of Heathrow. What skill she does have! [sex]

Beautiful weekend, nice sunny weather, mild temperatures, customers cheery, staff "breaking up in laughter"....

I wonder who was smoking what? [Big Grin]

I just knew those things were going to be hazardous to your health Phil! I'm going to send over a cleaning crew and large van right away to take all those hazards from your home. [evil]

I hate tripping over a film can. I immediately lose my cool and when that happens, and the film can usually becomes airborne and hits the wall. [Big Grin]

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 06-20-2004, 08:01 PM:

Danny: Just cuz you've been over here before and seen my can, there is NO reason to tell the world about it!

Also, no self-respecting cleaning crew would dare set foot in this hell-hole!

Yo no smoko here. R&C? Why not a white russian?! And no Phil, I'm not talking about that dude that keeps walking into your house in the middle of the night that you constantly tell me about but rather the drink. Also, at least Money Penny isn't in high school like those twins! [Big Grin]

Today Was a GREAT DAY!!!

The weather here in TEXAS is SUPER!!! I heard the birds chirping lovely melodies all day and the grass is really really green down here. I woke up with a smile on my face and everything is super groovy in a far out kind of way!!! I LOVE THE WORLD!!! Everybody go out and hug a squirrel or a strange man and take a deep breath of this beatutiful fresh air and say "Thank you!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!" I LOVE YOU PHIL HILL! Flowers for EVERYBODY!!!

Hmmm... Ya know, I cannot think of ANY reasonable, non-sexual, come-back to that post.

Dammit!

Ummm...call me again... Josh or Ethan or whoever.. we CAN talk some more!

Actually, today was a great day for me. Thee were no problems. The dumb doorman and I have an agreement and we arent arguing anymore. All the shows went smoothly. I even found out that my check next week will be VERY large!!

I need to take more of these drugs to keep me this happy! [Smile]

Phil, you got any Viagra? [Big Grin]

Hmmm, nah I don't Richard...don't need it. I can get "excited" and "perform", and squirt big-time without ANY artificial help...especially if with the right person. [beer]

Perhaps you should see your pharmacist to help you out with your problem and quest for some viagra... [Wink]

I didn't realize you had so much "stamina" at your ripe age. I figured you'd need some help to get your plumbing to function like us young studs. Just don't overdo it and make sure to be safe. Of course, when it's just yourself, how much precaution does one need to take? [Eek!]

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 06-21-2004, 12:19 AM:

Yes Mike, a BRILLIANT observation! DUH! No one would have EVER thought that!

So Mods, please put this where the sun...errrr... I mean where it belongs!

Well Aaron, it's the old saying... if ya don't use it, ya lose it. Trust me I use it!

And, I know of many "young lads" that need desperate repair of their.... "plumbing". Perhaps you protest too much?

BTW: I'm always "safe" whether with myself or others...

You REALLY need to start having "relations" with others than yourself... It's really fun...honest!

Why was today a great day? I woke up alive. Always a good sign. The weather was beautiful. I took my dad up to see the Civil War battles up at Fort Tejon for Father's Day. I washed my car for the big event. It made him happy. Which is what life is all about!

I came home to my freshly cleaned duplex, feeling good about doing the cleaning the day before. I relaxed a bit before the big retyurn to work tomorrow. I contemplated my meeting in Burbank next weekend and looked up plays to see in the evening.

As Dr. Laura says, "Now go take on the day!"

There really is nothing like just being with the girl you love. Not neccesarily anything x rated, but just holding her and being there for her. Unfortunately, it's been some time since I've been able to do so. Wow, you know it's late when I start becoming a softy and begin telling everyone everything. Anyhow, I'll eventually post something based on this thread's topic, but today was not really a great day. I'm bound to have one soon though! [beer]

Oh boy.. that's a good one. Typo, or slip of the tongue? [Wink]

Sorry Aaron, had to do it; it's open season on members without pics! [thumbsup]
