OH MY GOD IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING.



Someone fucking pinch me. No wait, don't. I don't want to wake up. TT__TT

I would write the news all over my car's back window like I did for Brawl, but it's raining for the first time in months. Figures.

At least it's a giant bottle. [Apr. 30th, 2009|12:09 pm]

I want that Mazda 3 5-door. :D It's beautiful, inside and out. A fully loaded one has a lot of things the Mercedes has, like the navigation system, but $10,000 less, and I wouldn't be nearly as nervous about having a new Mazda in this neighborhood as I would a new or nearly new Mercedes. I test-drove the Mazda yesterday, and it's wonderful. It's four doors, but it's mainly a 2-person car. Which is good good. I would loooove to travel to Dallas in one for A-kon.

Brittany, I saw your entry, but it disappeared before I could post my comment. In short, I'm infinitely glad the divorce happened after I became an adult. There's no possible way I'd be better off as a kid. An adult suffers more emotional stress because they understand it better, but a child may be affected for life in the form of a warped perception of how relationships work. Not saying that every single child of divorce ends up with a dismal EQ, but I'm sure you know what I mean. I'll take a couple years of emotional stress over a lifetime of poor decisions any day.

ANYHOW, this damn pomegranate-flavored tea, this giant bottle, it cost only $2, and it's 14% juice, and it tastes like Kool-aid. This further bolsters my philosophy of "you usually get what you pay for".

Back to that car situation. My current car, Meredith, she just can't do San Antonio traffic or parking lots. I have to literally floor the gas pedal to merge onto the highway, and sometimes even to change lanes, which all wastes gas. The brakes slip when I have to stand on the pedal for an emergency stop. The steering is so unresponsive that it feels like trying to drive a boat. Parking is a nightmare because of the poor steering combined with the car's mammoth length, and cranking the wheel all the way until it stops still isn't enough to make many turns. Meredith was good for my first car in a small town, but she just can't do it in the city. I hope she'll fetch at least $1200 in trade-in value towards the Mazda. It's been good, my dear, and thank you for helping me learn to drive better.

Oh yeah, here's a fresh and funny link: Look at this Fucking Hipster.

My dad put out a neighbor's housefire on Easter Sunday.Collapse )

Aside from EPIC FIRE STORY, we had a pretty good Easter. I brought Eternal Sonata to show Mom on her PS3, which she only uses for movies. She's wanted to get into video games, so I tried to show her how to play Eternal Sonata, but the battle system just failed her. She had no concept that characters take turns, and that characters have hit points that deplete when attacked. To me, this was common sense, and it was a real eye-opener to have to explain such basic concepts as what a save point does. Some things she asked were legitimate questions that I had no idea how to answer.

Me: There are save points in pretty much every RPG.
Mom: But how do you know what a save point looks like?
Me: ...

How do you explain that? How DO you just know what the save point is in a game you've never played before? The best I could come up with is that a save point is usually some kind of thing that looks different or shiny or important.

After that, I had half a small bottle of Jäger with some Red Bull and went to bed. Slept until 11.

On the way home I stopped at Tony B's house, where he popped in a terrible bootleg of Dragonball Evolution. It was one of the funniest, lamest things I've ever seen. We ended up skipping through and watching the whole thing in about 40 minutes. Also, the main character Goku (that actor is typecast into comedy martial arts movies already) looked amazingly like David with short hair, and the bad quality of the video made it that much more believable. So it was like seeing David do all these kung fu moves. I was very squeeful. And I got really jealous when Goku was having a "moment" with Chichi. I couldn't even watch when they kissed at the end. It was just too weird.

Yeah, don't spend your money on DB Evolution unless you just want a laugh.

Today David and I are going to The Container Store! In buzzword terms, we need some "space-saving solutions". Space bags and drawers are what I'm after.

I woke up at like 6 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep, which is pretty rare for me. Then at 7:30 I realized David's alarm hadn't gone off, so I woke him up. :D Turns out his phone alarm was on vibrate by mistake. Hot damn, everything does have a reason for happening.

I played Starcraft for the first time last week. It's really awesome, and I can't wait for the sequel to come out, whenever that may be.

Now it's after 8:45 and I'm all sleepy... I work later today, so I daresay I should catch a nap.

Hey there.

I rented Eternal Sonata, and it's the first real RPG I feel like I'm sticking to. Ever. Frederic Chopin himself is in the main party, and he is lovely. He has coattails, a conductor's wand, and a top hat. A top hat, ladies and gentlemen. And a genius musical mind. I am in love.

Both of my parents are now following me on twitter. That is definitely weird. I feel like I'm just one step away from David's grandmother Dee friending me on Facebook (the one who grew up in the depression), which could be an awkward disaster if it ever came to be.

David is recovering okay from his wisdom teeth removal, except for on the upper left side where one of the teeth was all small and tiny and buried. That one spot is still giving him pain. This means he's on hydrocodone still, which is really really funny. Kingdom Hearts is the only video game he can manage to play right now, and even then he's all "WHAT DO I DO NEXT OH GOD".

AHAHAHA, right after I typed that, he mumbled "What do I do now?"

Along with the anime rendition of Frederic Chopin, I have fallen in love with the sweet onion chicken teriyaki on honey oat bread at Subway. I love this sandwich. I love it dearly.

I also need a shower.

Is it because I don't watch TV? [Mar. 12th, 2009|02:42 pm]
[m00d |enthralledenthralled]

I just signed up for Netflix, after discovering that you can watch stuff instantly on your TV, through an Xbox 360.

What.

When did this happen? It feels like I've been teleported into the future every time I go online now, because of all the new integration and fancy java websites and everything. Facebook is insane. Twitter is cooler than I thought it had the capacity for. I instantly know when I get an email. And my cellphone keeps it all in check, without even needing a wireless network.

And the phone. The iPhone is amazing. I'm still amazed that such touchscreen technology is available for consumer use. Dragging your finger and having an icon follow it? Flipping the phone to the side and the picture staying upright? That's Hollywood movie stuff! Think about it! And soon, we're supposed to have desktop computers with touchscreen monitors for Windows 7!

I think I've discovered why elderly people can't grasp today's technology. Somehow, in my mind last year, technology froze. Anything new after 2008 will likely continue to blow me away. I bet for old people, that freeze occurred decades ago. Huh... I suddenly understand. I have reached an epiphany. Today is a good day.

Now, I am going to put things on my Netflix queue, and marvel.

One Saturday Morning [Feb. 28th, 2009|10:11 am]
[m00d |goodgood]

I found Manny the Uncanny! I love his accent! Anyone remember?



And I also found MRS. MUNGER'S CLASS OMFG. This isn't the funniest one, but I like it because of how it subtly caricatures the public school system. Notice how they make fun of text books being politically correct and using foreign names, and also how they take a stab at how word problems are just an attempt to get kids to use their (likely poor) language skills in math! When Mrs. Munger finally removes all the words and says the problem by itself, the class understands right away. Ha ha. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this about textbooks while in school.



Dang, this show pokes a whole lot at the public school system, more than I ever realized. Each kid, in fact, represents a different rung on the social hierarchy ladder of school life.

Though she doesn't really speak in this episode, the black girl Yvonne is a super feminazi, and in "Spelling Bee" when she was asked to spell "woman" she spelled "oppressed". Yvonne also said in the episode "Mahoot's Cousin" that "a woman in love is a woman imprisoned". The teacher was flustered and disagreed. XD

The character Karyn, I just discovered, is the typical open-minded probably-bisexual hippie goth kid, even though her appearance is normal. She darkly says things like "love is blind" and made a casket during an origami lesson. I find it hilarious and clever that her character even existed in the show. This was before scary girls were cool!

I haven't seen Mrs. Munger's Class in over ten years. All those mature social themes went %100 over my head when I was little. It's amazing to see it anew and pick up on all the extra jokes. The show was pulled off the air without a word after some months, after someone discovered the creators had used an actual yearbook page without any permission! After all the brilliant satire, how stupid could they have been to do that? =(

AND YOU'RE MY MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN [Feb. 26th, 2009|11:53 pm]
[m00d |boredbored]

Oh God. I have this song that goes "lucky I'm in love with my best friend" or some shit stuck in my head, and it will not leave. It's on GameStop TV, which plays on like an hour-long loop in the store, and sometimes they have clips of music videos of pop artists that NO GAMER LIKES, and that damn song is part of it, and I have to hear it about six times a shift. AAAAGH. At least it's not nearly as bad as that God-forsaken radio station I had to hear at Good Stuff all the time. Imagine hearing "'Cause I'm your LAAAAAIIIIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY" about four times a day. FUCK, I wanted to shoot the radio so badly. I hate that song with a passion.

The reformatting went well, except that I accidentally only backed up half of My Pictures. I lost all my avatars, wallpapers, and artwork from the past couple months. But that's okay, because my favorite avatars are saved online, and I can just go look for the backgrounds again. The artwork is forever lost, however, but oh well. I can't even remember what's missing.

And now to restore my 17+ gig My Music folder!
