Rilly Cool Stuff

I never thought it would come to this. Ad Remixes. Wow. I am in awe. Congrats man, really. It's wonderous.

Also, we (Matt and I) were discussing the exiting world of exotic pets, a topic brought on by the most recent episode of Kim Possible, in which Ron befriends and bonds with a dog-sized cockroach, Roachie.

He's like a shiny puppy! With a shell!

So, the question is, what would be, in your wildest dreams, the best pet ever? And not just on Earth. Reality has, as in many of my preceedings, been joined by my friends Imagination and Insanity. Life it really more fun this way. So, here are a few of my ideas:


Cat girl- I've never made any secret about my love of cat girls. They are undeniably cute. Adorable really. And they'll hop and jump and do cute things. Plus, since its part human, it is more self-reliant than the average pet, and could even be useful as a servant. However, I don't want to get too far into the issue. I'm not gonna advocate slavery. This is, after all, outside of the realm of reality. That said... CUTE!

Chao Tails- I'm not at all sure where I got this thing, but it obviously wins for most undeniably cute pet ever. True, it doesn't have the self-reliance of a cat girl, or even a regular house cat, but it isn't ENTIRELY helpless. Somewhere in there is the Miles Tails Prower we all love, the one who was Sonic's two-tailed sidekick. Plus, he can fly. That's gotta count for something.

The Rabbit From Monty Python- "That rabbit's dynamite!" Is there anything more to be said? Obviously an out-door pet, I'd put him on a long leash and train him to guard my house. Stupid Jehovah's Witnesses won't know what hit them. Muwahaha. On the other hand, I have to say he'd be a bit scary to ME as his owner, so I dunno...

GIR- Truly the best pet ever. Perhaps a little unstable, but that's part of the entertainment. He's an awesome dancer, as you can see, and he's got similar tastes in food and cleanliness. We're a perfect match!

Sharticons- This one goes in plural. The others I'd really only need one of, but you GOTTA have more than one Sharkticon. Actually, they'd be more of a security force. I'd train them to chant "Bah Weep Grah Nah Weep Ninny Bong," and when someone failed to respond in kind, they'd be dropped into a pit of yet more Sharkticons. I'd need at least a dozen of them, at a bare minimum. My elite security force. My Cybertronic Samurai, I guess.

Jessica Alba- Okay, now I'm just being silly.

Honestly, if I had to choose any animal for a pet, and was limited to those currently alive on the planet (dinosaurs would be nice too, the small ones) the I'd have to go with a cougar.


Look at it. It's a beautiful animal. The kittens look almost like regular house kittens, only with rounder ears, of course. The color is nice, a light tan. Ideally, I'd start by taking two kittens (male and female) from the wild and raising them as my own. None of thise getting them pre-trained bullshit. Obviously, I'd get some professional help on the training, but I'd be there every step of the way. And I'd raise a family of cougars in my house. I'd give them mostly free roam of my house and backyard, and set up those invisible fences to keep them out of areas like an office or wherever I don't want them. Obviously, I have a big house; I'm assuming I'd have a certain level of extreme wealth for this cougar endeavor to work.

This, for those of you who cannot tell if I am kidding, is an honest dream of mine. True, not an entirely practical dream, but a dream none the less. That and my dream of owning a Cruise Ship for a summer home.

Lesse... Dinner time. It's Matt's birthday, so we may go see Sin City. That sounds like fun. I'll tell you how it went later.

Only YOU have the power to Save Toby!

Goddammit this is the third time I've started writing this.

Lookit the cute llil bunny! These guys have come up with a great little scam. Pay $50,000 to stop them from eating the bunny. The best part is that the same amount of money could be used to save NO END of bunnies if properly invested. Instead, these guys get rich off of keeping a pet bunny. I think its hilarious. It's also damned clever. They knew that the animal rights people would fan the flames of their site, and bring them plenty of media attention. It's surprisingly original, which makes me hate myself for not thinking of it first. RAWR! Anyway, it's cool, but its just another of those things you can't copy off of, even though doubtlessly a dozen people will try and fail. It does go into my brain as another example of great brilliant schemes, a database from which I will cull my own way to make tons of money on the Internet. Of course, I won't tell you my scheme... I've said too much. O_O

In other news, my old screen-name, GR3G 15 3V1L, is no longer in service. It was used as my spy screen name, hidden from the outside world, that I may check who blocked me. However, I've found I rarely need that nowadays, so it's retired.

And maybe one day when Effervescence34 is filled up, I'll bring it out of retirement for use as a backup list. That's not gonna happen for a while though, I suspect. I'm only at Nintey-Three out of two-hundred now, so that's a ways off.

Oh yeah, plus I made a little quiz for you guys to take. Click the link to take it:

Gods Debris Forum

Lookit! I know I've mentioned the book, and its sequel, the Religion War, to you all before. Well, someone out there took the initiative of setting up an online forum for the discussion of the ideas of the books and others like it. It's pretty deep stuff, but I know you all can handle it. ^_^ Anyway, just thought I'd let you all see it. Bye.

PSP Stuff

I've solved my PSP battery troubles. It's a case that will automaically charge the meager PSP battery. And its only... SIXTY DOLLARS!? Sigh... oh well...

I'm getting a job over the summer. I'll prolly end up buying the PSP unit, this case, and then Metal Gear AC!D and Lumines. assuming the games are $40 each, and that the prices on the hardware stay the same, it'll be under $400. Oh, and then tax. So for under $450, I'll have a PSP and some stuff to do with it. Go me!

Time Paradoxes

Time paradoxes are fun. I saw the episode of Futurama tonite where Fry becomes his own grandfather, and so I decided to confuse people. I ended up describing a nifty causality loop of killing your own grandfather. I decided to define the grandfather as being seven years old, because that way he couldn't have possibly fathered your father. Anyway, here's the full on description:

Your time vehicle arrives back in early twenties, stranded for a lack of, oh, let's say AA batteries. Unable to find any power source in the current time, you resign to settling in to the early 20th century. So you get a job, an apartment, and a car. One day, completely out of happenstance, you pass a baseball field, same as every day, and see a somewhat distraught boy standing by the side of the road, baseball bat in one hand, glove on the other, waving his arm in a vaguely hithchhikery motion. You pull over, pick the poor boy up, learning that his parents were unable to give him a ride because they had work. As you drive home, you make small talk with the boy, and ask him his name. When he replies with your grandfather's name, you are overcome with surprise. Further, seemingly innocent, questioning reveals that the boy is infact your father's father. You'd never expected to run into any relatives in the past, and begin to worry that picking him up interferes with your personal history. While you stare at the boy in shock, your car drifts into the left lane, in the path of an oncomming Mack Truck. Panicing even more, you swerve hard to the left, putting your grandfather between you and the danger. The boy is killed on impact.

Your situation, on the other hand, is a little more complex. At this point of time, from my analysis, you both exist and do not exist. Once your grandfather died, you never existed, so went back in time, so your grandfather DIDN'T die, so you DID exist, and DID go back in time... It's highly confusing. You end up torn between two time lines, bot entirely opposite.

1. Your grandfather wasn't in a crash, you existed to go back in time and get your grandfather in a crash.

2. Your grandfather was in a crash, you never existed to go back in time, and your grandfather didn't get in a crash.

Weird. I'm not sure what happens at this point. I think reality crashes at this point.

Other interesting paradoxes for you: One is the same set up as before, where you go back in time 20 years and have to wait for your AA batteries. This time, you manage to get far from any of your family members, keeping your personal time line intact. by 1960, you have your batteries, but you think to yourself that you could save yourself 40 years if you go to just 10 minutes before you went back into 1920, and give yourself the spares. The same paradox type thing ensues, at which point you are both (using my age as a baseline) 20 and 60 years old. One age results from your preventing being stuck, but in that case, you didn't get the idea to give yourself the batteries, and so you would stay the extra fourty years. All very strange.

Here's a slightly simpler causality loop, with only one possible outcome. Wipe the slate clean, this one isn't related to the rest. Its 30 years in the future, and a large space ship was sent to a distant colony loaded with 150 years of music and movies. It passes through a time rift, naturally occurring in outer space obviously, and reappears back in the year 1975. Unable to contact the colony, obviously, the ship turns around and heads back for planet Earth, its contingency plan. Upon reaching our planet, the ship is unable to get GPS landing coordinates, and crashes in the backwoods of Britan, where a young Douglas Adams discovers it, and the only remaining contents: A video of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie, fully playable (I don't know how, it just is). He watches this little bit of the future, becomes enthrawled (especially by the bits that said "BASED ON THE WORKS OF DOUGLAS ADAMS") and goes home and writes the radio drama, TV series, and books that eventually become the very movie he saw.

That one is someone easy. Self-fuffilling prophecy. I decided to end on something a little less mind numbing.

Bye. ^_^

There's Nothing Good On TV Anymore

They cancelled Kim Possible. Apparently Disney has a 65 episode limit on all of its cartoons. But it's not fair. Darkwing Duck got 91 episodes, Aladdin got 86, Ducktales got 88, and even The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh got 83, along with a long list of video releases, and then those movies. Sigh...

But yeah, the point is this: all the good shows are being cancelled. I was asked by my roommate to list any genuinely good TV shows still being produced. Here's my current list:

Teen Titans (That's running out of episodes, too)
The Daily Show
South Park
The Batman
Robot Chicken
Whose Line Is It Anyway?
MXC

I'm done. That's it. And The Batman is really kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel. I won't wake up to watch it at 10 or whatever on Saturday Mornings. I still enjoy reruns of many things. Star Trek, Futurama, Family Guy (speaking of which, new episodes come out early next month), and of course, Kim Possible. That's actually a lot of shows. But I can't think of a lot of NEW good shows on TV. I mean, really. I dunno. Oh fuck it. The longer I write this, the more shows I think of and add to the list. TV's fine. Nvm.

Consider this... Train of thought writing.

Posterity

This is a good link. I have nothing to add. I'm just putting it in here for posterity. Enjoy.

^_^... and it kinda makes up for that last post about beating up five year olds.

Mowtaw Kawmbad!

If you don't get the title, say it out loud. If you still don't... I give up all hope for you.

Holy Crap. I set my limit at 10, mostly because any more of them would just start to depress me. I mean, where am I gonna put more than a dozen five year old corpses? Honestly, if I had to, I'd prolly be able to slam their skulls into the floor (I'm imagining this taking place in my elementary school gymnasium / cafeteria room, so it'd be a hard floor) or using one of them as a club against the others. Remember, they have hand-to-hand combat training, of at least a day. I have my old meager Kajukenbo training, but after my lapse, that would simply put me even with the kids. Sheer size and strength are gonna be my only advantages here.

How would one really knock out a five year old? I mean, the only solution I see is the knocking heads into floor, by when I run that through in my mind, all I see are cracked bleeding skulls and dead kindergarteners. I don't wanna kill them. I'm just fighting them for sport. I could try and wrap a shirt around their necks, suffocating them until they pass out, but after the first 5 or so, they might start to catch on, and thus play possum, faking sleep only to surprise me and punch me in the nose. Those little brats! *Slams Tommy's forehead into the ground.* Anyway, I think I could take just as many of them as it would take to pile up on me and hold me down, at which point any free arms would pound me into submission. That's, from past experience, 10. I set the limit at my lethal dose because I'm assuming I could take one or two of them out before they tried to tackle me, so yeah, 10 or 12, I'd say. I like a challenge.

Of course, I am too much of a nice guy to ever hurt a five year old, really. It's an interesting thought experiment, cuz really, who hasn't known a few kids they wanna knock out? Sigh.... I'm hungry. Gonna eat. See if this shuts my tummy up.

Game Over!

YAY! I beat Ace Combat 4. The last has you fly past a screen of enemy fighters (I guess you're supposed to try to kill them, but theres like 12 of them, and they're all awesome pilot AI's, so I was like, screw it) to a missile launch base, navigate THROUGH four tunnels to hit some power generators and then the final missle lastly. Very Star Wars IV. Some of the trenches were pretty tight, though. I hadda use the instant replay to see exactly how close I'd come to crashing. I think once I had a low speed bump or something, took 20% damage. It was scary. Anyway, I survived, blew up the missile, I'm a national hero. Now if I can only find an opponent for verses mode. Matt doesn't wanna play. u_u

In other news, La Pucelle: Tactics is a fun game. It's a lot like FFTA only with something more of a story, and a more detailed combat system. I don't feel like gushing over it, but, for instance, this PA strip was based on the game:



Yeah, a game based on a Church Squad of Demon Hunters, and no Jesus in sight. Plus I have bats on my team! BATS! And a FIRE BALL THINGY... It's kinda like Pokemon, now that I think of it. I'm trying to make a team of all the different kinds of monsters by converting them to my side. Its like... PokEJesus! O_O

I'm gonna go play it some more. I'm on chapter two, and just barely making it through with my head above water. Ah well.

Justice

Random News

I BEAT THE YELLOWS!!!! *Dances* Justice has been served. Plus I liberated the enemy stronghold, so the war is over. The war is over! Yay!!

...

Another mission? Wtf? Who's left to fight? I'm intrigued... *Wanders into death trap*

Graaaagh!

Dear God, NO!!!!

Hehe... I like giving you guys links. I'm gonna go play La Pucille after this episode of Futurama. Night.

Stupid Things

Some people are just dumb. Seriously, they should make a pamphlet or something with every type of currency to give to all retail stores. Sigh. Apparently, Best Buy is no better about it.

Moving on, I'm eating a toasted sub from Subway. Usually they're very good, but today it's too crispy. X_X Oh well. It's good, still, just not very good.

Speaking of disappointing things, the Kim Possible Movie was "meh". Not very terrible, but I expected more from the Movie. It seemed more like a 3 part episode. It just ran like 80 minutes, and thats including commercials, so I was disappointed. "A Sitch In Time" was much better.

Meanwhile, I'm stuck on a level of Ace Combat 4. After liberating some city or some nonsense, fairly routine at this point, five jets from the top enemy squadron rocket into the battle field. Okay, no big, I have three or four jets at least on my side; I just need someone to cover my six... Uhh... guys? Guys? Okay, five on one. That's definitely fair. X_X Sigh. So yeah, I'm stuck on that one. I've managed to get all but one of them shot down, but I can't shake the last guy enough to get him off my tail and into my view. *Shrugs* Maverick I'm not, but at least I'm better than Goose.

Stupid canopy.

It's ALIVE!!!

I didn't have anything I wanted to write about until just earlier today (yesterday, really), and then blogger decided it would be crashed for me. That jerk. I'm too tired to write it all right now. I'll put in a nice preview of things to come. Actually, fuck it, I'll just put in a condenced version of the stuff I wanna say:

Lesse... Kim Possible has been on all week in a nice little marathon, leading up to the Kim Possible movie. Ever since my little cousin showed me Kim Possible the first time on the Disney Channel, I've been a big fan. Of course, Static Shock and Teen Titans also vie for equal parts of my TV watching time, so I'll be the first to admit that my tastes in television aren't the most mature. (Also, The Batman is piquing my intrests.) What can I say? Will Friedle is one of those actors I've never been disappointed with.

In other news, my old monitor finally gave out on me over the weekend, and so I got a new one by going to wallmart. Mom gave me $400 for a monitor, and rather than buying a schnazzy Flat Panel LCD screen, I just went with the good old flat screen. Its 17 inches, not too big, but its rather cute. I like it. I'm keeping it. And it was only $200, including a warrenty plan. Thus, I had an extra $200 spending cash. Whee!

I went out and blew it all in one day. First, Mahoromatic and Negima, both volume 5, manga volumes I'd been looking for. I then went down to Hastings, head on in the wind (I was seriously worried about dying on the way there o_o) There, I walked around a second before actualy finding someone to open the game case and pull out Ace Combat 4 - a fun flight combat game I got after seeing Top Gun and wishing I'd brought the old ps2 Ace Combat game with me. Also, I got La Pucille Tactics, a tactical RPG by the makers of Disgaea, cuz they didn't have the original. It's great, I think. I just need to find time to play them.

Okay, I think that's enough binging. I also have a weird new idea for a story that I may or may not flesh out. *Shrugs.*

Oh yeah, and this quiz needs doing. Here:

1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3. When and how did we meet?
4. How have I affected you?
5. What do you think of me?
6. What's the fondest memory you have of me?
7. How long do you think we will be friends?
8. Do you love me?
9. Do you have a crush on me?
10. Would you kiss me?
11. Would you hug me?
12. Physically, what stands out?
13. Emotionally, what stands out?
14. Do you wish I was cooler?
15. On a scale of 1-10, how hot am I?
16. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
17. Am I loveable?
18. How long have you known me?
19. Describe me in one word.
20. What was your first impression?
21. Do you still think that way about me now?
22. What do you think my weakness is?
23. Do you think I'll get married?

33. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
34. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?
35. Who do you think loves me?

Enjoy!

EDIT: I didn't think this had worked last night, but low and behold it worked. Yay me.

Swarms

I watched "Shaun of the Dead" today. It was pretty fucking funny. And it points something else. One zombie (and I'm talking the classic, lumbering, lurching undead, not the weird shit from 28 days later; Zombies don't run) isn't that much of a threat. They're slow, noisy, and not too bright. You could sneak up behind a lone zombie and twist his head off, or beat him with a baseball bat to, uh, even MORE death, I guess. But yeah, one zombie is just an annoyance. Something like a retarded guy with a knife. Sure, he's dangerous if you let him get too close, but it's not too hard to just safely deal with him.

No, no, the real threats are in swarms. A swarm of retarded guy's with knifes would be a reason to run. Luckily, retarded people with knifes don't have a swarming instinct. But most zombies do. So there is a pretty good chance of finding a swarm of zombies. In my experience, the only way to deal with a swarm of zombies is either to run as far as you can and trap them, or, and this is perferred, use a bomb or some sort of mass removal. Or maybe both. Yeah, that.

While a swarm of zombie is indeed scary, really, a swarm of ANYTHING would be scary. Zombies, retards, bees, rats, mongeese, regular geese, poodles, anything. My worst nightmare is to wake up and leave my dorm, only to find a swarm of furbies stationed outside the door. That would be scary. O_O!

And just cuz I wanted to show off:



Night all!

Melting Points

In science, we are taught that solid materials, under enough heat and/or pressure, will melt into a liquid. However, many objects burn in the presense of oxygen long before they melt. So, what if, you had, say, a tree. and it was stand in an extremely hot vaccuum. Would it melt? What does liquid tree look like? Can I drink a hot carrot? (No, I think that would be too hot.) But still. I want a puddle of grass....

What Have I Become?

I'm still sick. I think I'm getting worse, actually. I have a terrible headache just between my eyes, right above my nose, and it HUUUUURTS! But enough wallowing in pity. That's what the Tylenol is for.

After my physical collection got soaked, I decided to go into Magic Online. As I said when it first came out, my only major beef with the system was that you had to buy cards online, thus forcing you to maintain an online colection seperately than the physical cards. Since most of my physical cards are soaked (and btw, I'm looking to sell the cards that remained dry) and I was gonna basically have to start over anyway, I thought I'd try my hand at the online game. I'm keeping my physical decks, and I'll possibly attend an occasional tournament just to have fun and then sell the cards I get, so anyone I played in real life is still gonna have me to play with, but all my upcoming card buying will be done online.

I'm currently waiting for two sealed deck tournaments to start: one at 1AM tonite (I didn't know when it started when I signed up, but its a qualifier for an Invasion Block Sealed event, so I thought I'd try my hand at it) and one tomorrow night at 9PM. From now on though, I'll look for tournaments that start a little earlier in the day. My thoughts, though, were that it would be smart to play in sealed deck tournaments as a way to build up my collection. After tomorrow night, I'll have at least 150 cards, plus 12 basic lands of each color, which should be enough to make a semi-decent two-colored deck or too. I'll be able to play around for fun and for free after that. Of course, I plan on playing in several more sealed tournaments, at least 2, before shifting focus to booster drafts for my card aquisition. I'll also prolly get a pre-con from each upcoming release, and see what else is out there. I'm a little disappointed that I can't buy cards from before Mirrodin, but i think that's worth it. It's also why I hopped in the last chance IPA qualifier. ^_^

Okay, enough about that. I'll tell you all how the tournaments go after I've done them, of course. In other news, I've sold myself on the PSP. So, while I'm spending all my hard earned money on virtual Magic cards, I'm also gonna be saving up for a $250 piece of hardware, plus a few $40 games. Lumines was always a must have PSP application for me, but it always seemed to be a quick silly puzzle game, like Tetris. It looked like a lot of fun, but not worth a $300 investment. I wanted at least ONE other substantial title to play on the system. I went in and looked, and - Metal Gear: ACID, a tactical strategy thingy. I dunno, but it looks interesting. Also, Mercury looks like an interesting button-tapper.

So yes, here I am, buying into the things I never told myself I'd buy. Ah well. It's fun to betray your principles. ^_^ Laters all.

Greg's Adventures In Jerkdom

I made it back from Austin. My adventures there were patently unremarkable, but the flights backk... I got a few good stories for you. Let's begin!

I got to the airport alright, boarded up and everything. I sat in the wrong seat at first, then next to a father and his baby, and then they ran off to an entirely empty 3 seat row, leaving me with two seats for myself. Score. So the flight attendant uses the empty seat next to me for the props for the amazing safty thing. Tiny seat belt strand. Tiny mask. Tiny saftey guide. Anyway, the mask strikes my fancy. So I asked her, could I have the air mask for a suvenier? Nope. Fine, that's cool.

The plane got in on time, if not a little early, so I looked at my watch. 30 mins to boarding, an hour till take off. That means I should be able to stop in the book store and check if they have Mahoromatic vol 5. Then the plane gets stuck on the runway. for another 20 minutes. Doesn't matter, I'll still get everything done on time. Never mind that my plane landed in terminal A, the bookstore was in terminal C, and my Lubbock flight was waiting at gate B. I have super travel experience. I can do it! So I get out there. No book. Wasted trip. Ah well. So I get on the tram (TrA'Ain, I'm in DFW) and ride to B. It's a 5 minute trip. I got to the gate 10 minutes before departure. There's nearly no one there, and the signs don't show where the flight's going. Eep. So I look at the listings, the flight hasn't left yet, and I can see the plane there. No reps, just a buncha other passengers. I talk to one.

"Has the flight left yet?"
"Nah, why? Who are you?"
"Huh? I'm a passenger..."
"Are you Levine?"
"Oh, yeah, thats me."
"THEY'VE CALLED YOU LIKE EIGHT TIMES!"

The other people were standby passengers. Sorry guys. I'm getting my seat after all. Didn't mean to get your hopes up.

Okay, that flight goes okay, once I get on, and then as I'm getting off... THE MASK!!! I hadda ask. Can I have that?

"Sure".
"Awesome, thanks!"

So yeah, I take it, then wait for the guy to bring my bag out from the closet so I can go. I say thanks again when he gives me it, then run out to wait for Mike. And I wait.

And wait.

Mike got lost some how, and so I didn't leave for about an hour. During that time, I heard the announcement

"To all passengers departing flight XXXX out of Dallas Ft. Worth, would whoever took the air mask from the plane please bring it back."

Fuck them, I think, I'm gonna wait for Mike. So I wait some more. They call it again. Fine, while I'm there, I might as well see what the fuss it. I go there, two people are on the passenger sign looking something over, there's no attendant that I can see. I go back outside to look for Mike. 10 minutes later I hear the announcement again except with the added threat that they're not gonna give people the baggage off the plane. I was smart enough to not check anything this flight, but those other suckers are lucky Mike got lost, or they might never have gotten their bags. So I go up to the counter, where there IS an agent. I give her the mask, and tell her that the guy let me take it off. "SUUUURE he did." Dammit, don't call me a liar. Whatever. I walked off and tried to find Mike some more.

A few minutes later, just after I've dialed Mike, the agent comes out, accompannied by a police officer. I hung up, and have to go give them my information. Drivers licence, address, phone numbers, a lil lecture ("DON'T TAKE SHIT OFF OF PLANES!!") Yeah, okay, I'm not supposed to do that kinda stuff, I'm sorry, the guy said I could... That's another thing, I SWEAR I got permission from the flight attendant to take it. But the agent told me, "He told me he didn't know why someone would take it." Liar. Fucking liar. I was standing RIGHT there, staring at him for 5 minutes. He gave me that damn mask. Rawr. Anyway, apparently they can press theft charges. Fucking bullshit. If they do, I'll sue those bastards or something. Rawr. That attendant is a liar, or at worst it's an honest mistake. Leave me alone.

u_u I'm tired and my head hurts. Oh yeah, and I got Jackie sick over the weekend too. Whoops. Sorry honey.

Sick: -_-

im sick. im skiping caps so you will know how sick i am. also, my computer is running slow because it feels sick too i guess. it needs a reboot, but ive still got... a little under a day left on the mahoromatic torrent. i really shouldn't be getting it... i should be looking for the dvds out there. i saw them for 15$ a piece back in nj. if i'd been thinking i wouldn't have spent all my money before i went, but que sera sera. anyway, back to my own pounding head. it's pounding. and my nose is stopped up. and i hurt all over, especially over my head and neck. im afraid im gonna barf or something, but im gonna try and hold down some coke, and maybe make one of these hot pockets matt brought back... oh well. i'll be bouncing on and off line today. project greenlight is on, and im interested in that. i finished mahoromatic volume 4 this morning, so now i need to find that. I also need something to read on the plane this weekend... ok shit, the lawnmower is too loud to watch tv... headphones in. its also prolly too loud to sleep or something... sigh.... okay, enough being scatter brained. im gonna go. cya. hope you feel a little better than me. ^_^~

Upsizing

I was watching Kim Possible earlier. I haven't seen it for a week, so it was good to get back into the swing. It wasn't the best episode ever, "The Ron Factor", but I did get a revelation. Bueno Nacho Grande sizes the whole meal. Not just the chips and drinks, but the whole thing. Burger King's large gives you a bigger drink and fries, but still the same Whopper. Dammit, I want to upsize my Big Mac. I want my Bigger Mac!!

Oh, and in some other news, it seems that my mom's homeowners insurance will cover the issue of my destroyed Magic cards. They're still lost, and I'm prolly going to just go Online anyway, but its nice to know I'm covered. Okay, I'm exhausted again. I dunno.

Still Somewhat Damp

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I loaded up a binder with clean, dry paper, and went to my classes. I came back to find... Water on the floor. O_O!!! To the maintenance teams's credit, they were already on the job, cleaning and such. Oh well, I had other things to do. I rode down to the Bank of America ATM and took out some cash, then went into Black Dog for some comfort manga - Mahoromatic 1-3. I came back, found the room still semi-flooded, and walked on.

I found an empty study room or something, so I sat down and read through the first book. It's a really neat series, Mahoromatic. The premise is that after fighting off an evil alien invasion, Mahoro, an android warrior, has less than 40 days to live, unless she removes her armorments and leads a civilian life, expanding her lifespan to nearly four=hundred days. So, she becomes the maid for the son of her late inventor, and goes through the usual "robot girl makes mistakes" hijinks. It's all really very light hearted, but at the end of every chapter is a display showing the remaining time for Mahoro, adding a kind of bitter-sweet tinge to the story. I'll admit it, I'm hooked, as you'll see in a bit...

In other news, the Goldmember Saga has drawn to a close. I walked down to Hastings and stood at the help desk (I thought that's what it was, anyway) and waited. And waited. And waited some more. Eventually I realized there was a steady stream of customers, so I just hopped in line. They were none to pleased with the situation, and I expected such. I try my best to be a nice guy when returning things, but a lot of times people just yell and get angry that things aren't exactly the way they wanted them, so I guess I was a welcome change for the clerks. I got $6.48 in store credit, and went off to spend it. I found Mahoromatic volume 4, and the 3rd Chobits DVD, for a little less than usual, which was nice. I was looking for some Mahoromatic DVD's, but the only one they had was the one I got in NJ. I was most disappointed. Oh well. Maybe next time. *Shrugs.*

Okay, 11pm, time for my evening walk / Subway visit. That's enough bloggerating for one night. L8r.
