once again the rare occasion occurs that I want to open up space in my AIM profile without losing the hilarity. So, the quotes: Megan: i select all candies Jessi: And lo, Christ said unto his people, "Save 10% on Admission with the UPC from a case of Mountain Dew!"

My profile is out of room, but I don't want to lose the funny: Paaj: I agree with beer, dirt, and dinosaurs Paaj: wow, that's a weird sentence --------- Me: yeah, a real otaku is a valuable resource --------- Jessi: my purple pen leaked into the cup where I hold all my penis and pencils Yeah, the blog seems to be pretty much dead.

Oh how lazy I've become. It's been 20 days since I last updated this blog. That's sad. I should be going to sleep right now, but I love you so much that I'll write a little post. Dammit, I have nothing to say this late at night. I played tennis on my own today, against a ball machine. that was fun, I'll do it again for sure. Gotta watch out for that outlet, though. I got zapped! One nice

Okay, so this CNN article about magifying thingies is pretty cool. Make sure you browse through the three picture they've posted. Also, I enjoy steak, in case you were wondering.

Sorry I haven't been updating... actually, that's a lie. I have, just not here. More there than here. "There" being my LiveJournal. Or LazyJournal, as I like to call it, because it takes even less effort to update than this blog does. It also allows me to upload wacky icons that make me feel cool, and view all my friends' LJs on one page. Yes, it is definitely the LazyJournal. I'll even

So, I was thinking about the phrase people often use to describe someone else's reaction. "The look on his face was just classic! I imagine in my mind that when the look on someone's face is classic, their face is featured in a sepia-tone photograph wearing a crazy hat and a fake mustache. Also, I was gone from 7:30 until 10:30 today. That's, 7:30AM until 10:30PM. Anime Club was alright. I

Blarg! I just realised, I only have one 50-minute class this semester, and it's the one class I WANT to be in. All the other ones are an hour and fifteen minutes, or longer.

If you read my blog, and you use IE, this is important to you. If you are having major popup issues, you have apropos.exe, and you should go here to fix it. A good way to prevent spyware is to use a browser other than IE. I know this is a hassle, and you're all too cool to use indie-browsers, but really, give it a try. Opera is a very nice browser, I love the mouse-gestures. Mozilla Firebird

I thought about waiting until tomorrow to convey my thoughts about the dentist, but I think I'll do it now. It was really interesting. It didn't hurt very much at all. A couple times I hadn't been novicained enough and felt a really interesting twisting pain in my jaw. Beyond that, I didn't feel much of any pain during the procedure. Most of the pain I felt was after the fact, and is a

Well, I go to the dentist in about 45 minutes. I'm pretty nervous. I mean, they're sticking whirring metal in my mouth. I highly disapprove of that. I suppose I'll be gassed and novicained up and won't feel it or care about it, but right now I'm nervous as all fuck. I've realised that it's really hard to for me to write here without writing about video games lately. I mean, I got five video

Dude, so I beat Prince of Persia today. I don't have time to write a full review of it now, but I tell you, that game is excellent. In fact I would say it is as near perfection as I've ever played. I'll explain why later, but suffice to say that everything was in place. This is definitely game of the year material. I was going to write a post about how I don't have time to write a post,

Last night during "Good Morning," I freaked out when some kids in the movie started screaming and took the DVD out of the drive. I started bitching to people about my paper and other shit, and I just started basically freaking out and almost crying. Too much on my mind right now. I

It's from.. 1959. It's a really sad movie. I mean, it's not sad per SE, It's not like it makes me cry like Lilo and Stitch almost did last night. It's sad because I'm sitting here watching all these angry

I haven't played all of Jedi Academy yet, so I can't give it a proper review, but I probably WON'T play all of it. It's really not that good, I think. Some people seem to think it rules, but I have to disagree. This may because of playing Max Payne, but I have a major problem with the game. Jedi Academy is Jedi Knight II.... ON ICE. Everywhere I go, I feel like I'm moonwalking or ice

God, I love Max Payne. I'm playing through it on Dead on Arrival mode, the third difficulty level of the game. I've been pretty stressed out about various things lately - my Japanese grades for example - and when I'm feeling stressed, angry, depressed, or whatever, playing Max Payne takes it all away. Experiencing Max's pain (not payne!) and martyrnessnicity somehow makes mine easier to take.

Rarely will I link Elfwood in my blog, as I don't particularly like it, but this I must link to. YOU MUST view the art of Lauri Ahonen. It is magnificent. It's hard to describe, think if all the fairy tales went wrong - Five pigs in the family picture, four sitting down to a nice ham dinner. Actually, two words. Owl Mortar. 'Nough Said.

Computer is built, pictures are forthcoming. There is tons of bling-bling on it, it lights up in at least 3 places. It is also much louder than my old one, but so far it is great, I absolutely love it. The stats I mentioned before, everything worked right away, no major probelms in getting it working. I transferred everything off of my 60gb onto my 160gb - which ends up being like 140 with

So, I finished Max Payne. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is the sequel to Max Payne, for those of you that don't do the whole "Sequel" thing. Max Payne 2 sports much improved graphics, a great story with excellent voice acting, and uses the new Havok game engine. The graphics are great. I have to admit, I was a bit offput at first by the first few screenshots of I saw of my man Max. He

The following rant is brought to you by some dumbass I heard talking in class today: You know what pisses me off? The way dumbass armchair-coach college kids talk about football. "DUDE, he was right there. He could have caught it!" Yeah? Are you SURE? Are you a fucking coach? Are you a professional football player? Have you even played the game on a team? And how often do you play it

So, my brother is awesome. Patrick, I mean. He's just a cool dude. he has a sports car, nice hair, and he's really photogenic. Also, he is in a band, so he gets chicks. Also, he failed out of all his normal classes and so he goes to work experience school. For his work experience presentation, he did a powerpoint. It is soooo damn cool. In fact, I like it so much that I copied and pasted

2003-10-17T03:41:00.000-05:00

A few things. Firstly, I have Max Payne. It is awesome. I put it in my pants, then I installed and played it. It's good both ways! Once I play more of the game, I will give you a full IGN-style review, if you so desire. Secondly, I have school. I'm moving to California and getting a job at MTV screaming "Woo!" That's a lie. The second part, anyway. Thirdly: I guess I fucked up, huh?

2003-10-15T13:34:00.000-05:00

Okay, so I apparently had an eyelash in my eye. Ow. It's gone now, but my eye is still irritated. So if you see me winking at you, don't get the wrong idea - my eye just hurts. I went over to the Uni clinic down the way and saw the eye-doc, he was pretty cool. Like a TV doctor and shit. Anyway, so he puts these drops in my eyes to numb them for a bit. I'm not talking like a 2-hour

Stupid letters. I will instead ask for a garbage bag full of yak shavings.

Another post! I watched Kill Bill today, as you know. That movie was FUN. Zero substance, mind you, but the action was very cool. Most of the movie is in Japanese, and the soundtrack is excellent. The fighting is very cool, and the gore level is through the fucking ROOF. Limbs everywhere, blood spraying, everything. I don't want to spoil the movie, since there's not much to spoil, but give

2003-10-11T17:43:00.000-05:00

Today, it is Saturday. Upon this Saturday, I have beaten Silent Hill 3. I am also going to see Kill Bill tonight. Yeah, I know - I don't like Quentin Tarantino. All the movie buffs I know have decided they hate the movie, RETARDLESS of whether or not they've seen it. Me, I like fight scenes, and I trust Ebert. Conan O'Brien also said that he enjoyed it, and Conan is the fucking MAN. Not

What a week, what a week. Last night, I made this typo: THE D00FUS: well just bring it with you tomorrow retardless It was VERY funny. In other news, I managed to get all my shiznit turned in on time, somehow. In Anime Club news, there's a real nutjob on our boards. If you go look, you'll know them when you see them. I dunno what else to talk about, here. Been playing Halo. Downloaded

2003-10-05T23:46:00.000-05:00

I must post while it is still Sunday. So, this week, I must do 2 papers, four days of Japanese homework, four days of Japanese quizzes, and film to... film for my Visual Journalism classes. Somewhere in there I must fit in Halo, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and Mario Sunshine, as well as time to make some Silent Hill wallpapers. That's right. Silent Hill wallpapers. You'll see... you'll

The X-Mas List So Far: Viewtiful Joe. The game looks totally sweet, but unfortunately Max Payne 2 comes before everything else, and bills theoretically come before Max Payne 2. What did I do today? Oh, I went to some classes, had a burger at Annie's, came home, and played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I'm 74 hours in, now. If it were a console game I'd be maybe 1/10th that far in. God,

2003-10-03T04:01:00.000-05:00

I've been thinking. I know, it's a risky act, but what can I say? I'm a risky guy. Anyway, I've been thinking that I should make blog posting a daily thing. At least, five days a week or so. Semi-daily. We'll see if I stick to it! So. I have lost all confidence in my proficiency with the Japanese language. Got a D-- on a Japanese test this week. I was depressed and barely paying

I would like to apologise about my jokes as of late. To appease your massive appetites, I make this peace offering. In the case that you're wondering what the hell you just saw, it's an alternative to one of those crappy "Thinking Of You" cards. The illustrious Laura McG and I created this concept in a joint effort, and we hope that you enjoy it. In other news, I'm an 8-year-old girl!

2003-09-29T02:36:00.000-05:00

Damn, so I bet you're wondering where I've been! Well, I got this game. It's a horrible game. By horrible I mean "Horribly addictive." Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance. I've put like 54 hours into this game in 16 days. This is ridiculous. That's two full days of gaming, and then some. And I'm nowhere near done. This is insane. Also, I bought Mario Sunshine today, so that's all good and

2003-09-16T23:17:00.000-05:00

Got my internet back. It's like an IV of Pure Love hooked straight into my withered heart. Too much crap going on to make a long post right now.

2003-09-12T22:53:00.000-05:00

God, what a fucking day. Or maybe two days. I'm just gonna bitch about my life, okay? It started raining yesterday whilst I was in Japanese class, drenching my bike seat. Jessi and I walked home in the rain, and then when Brian came over and Willie eventually made it over, we walked to anime club... in the rain. Anime club went alright. I still hate otaku. On the way home, this

Seriously, I want comments on my new wallpaper. Like "That's awesome" and "I want to have your babies" and that kind of thing. Criticism will be met with a swift blade of egotism and metal. I love this time of year. It's VIDEO GAME SEASON. It's fall. The air is going to start cooling off soon. I'm getting Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on Thursday. Max Payne 2 comes in October. Chrismas is

New wallpaper up! Tell me what you think of it. http://www.evilnet.net/~mantis/KazeNoWall.jpg Oh and just so you know! My VCR is, yes, a +1 VCR of Oldness. However, the microwave I hooked up today (and by hooked up I mean plugged in), is a +4 Microwave of Oldness with a +2 advantage against Making Sense. Seriously. Jo has this old-ass microwave, which is so old that it created the oldness

WOO! That was the best tennis game EVER. Well, maybe not EVER, but in recent memory. Nalbandian was at match point, and then Roddick stole that point from him, along with the match, winning 3 sets to 2. It was a super close match, and it was just so cool. Unfortunately a few of my other favorites lost. Capriati lost to Henin-Hardenne last night, and Agassi lost to Juan Carlos Ferrero this

2003-09-01T03:56:00.000-05:00

They really did it. Tokyopop did it. They raped Initial D. And I'm not talking about your basic dark-alley rape. I mean, I knew they fucked Initial D up bad, but I had no idea it was this bad. They raped it seven ways to Sunday. I'm talking crowded subway anal rape. The girl on the bottom represents Initial D. First, I'll deal with the audio. The short version: The casting is bad, they

2003-08-29T23:30:00.000-05:00

I would like to congratulate Andy Roddick for tonight's win at the US Open versus Ivan Ljubicic! Roddick v. Ljubcic 6 - 3 6 - 7 (TB: 4-7) 6 - 3 7 - 6 (TB: 10 - 8) In the fourth set, Roddick turned 21. This was obviously the catalyst in what was his fastest serve of the match, 138mph. It was an intense match, seriously. They spent four sets and two tiebreakers trying to break

Okay, just so you know, I fucking HATE PETS. Why do people need pets? I don't know! I was supposed to take out this fuzzy little shit machine outside so it could poop on my foot at 7 tonight, but it's hiding at the opposite end of a queen size bed, scared to death of me. I'm supposed to take it outside because Jessie (my roommate, not my girlfriend) decided that she wants to go to valleyfair

So, I got pictures of my room up. I put comments on all of the pictures, so give each of them a look, provided you have the bandwidth available to do so. Meee What you see here is me. I took this picture today. Well, on August 25th. My Shower 1 :: My Shower 2 These are a couple pics of my Ghetto-Stylin' Shower, the place I gets clean every mornin. .: Living Room :.

I smell change in the air. Just a moment. Just a moment. No, that's just sweat. The Sweat of Change. I've been doing a lot of rearranging in my room and I've finally got it how I want it. The futon was delivered and assembled todya, as was my recliner and microwave. It looks great, and you totally need to come see it. Im going to borrow a digital camera and take pictures soon. I've also

What have I been doing lately? Well, I bought some beer. For most people, that might not seem like something worth noting. For me, however, it was monumental. I bought beer and I drank it. If, on August 6th, 2002, you had told me that I would be buying and drinking beer on August 6th, 2003, I would've laughed at you and called you a nasty name. I've changed a lot since that trip to

Za Atarashii Hizzy Okay, so I'm all up in the hizzy. The new one, that is. I'm pretty much all moved in, not counting a few boxes that I'm just too lazy to unpack. My furniture is arranged, my internet is up and running, my posters are taped to the walls. Suffice to say, I'm happy. Pictures are forthcoming, provided I have a friend who is forthcoming with their digital camera :D Corey, can

I added my Top 20 Movies list to the links along the top, give it a look. There's also a link THERE to my top 20 WORST movies list. And Now: Pirates of the Caribbean Awesome movie. It is a summer movie in the extreme. An epic plot, big special effects, hot babes, cool guys, and a monkey. The pirates and the zombies... well, the zombie pirates... were also excellent additions to this list

Hey, f***ers! I gots me a new cellphone. 612-237-4527. Call me! Please! It makes me feel sexy. Also, I picked up Knights of the Old Republic, the new Star Wars game out on XBox. It's sweet so far. Yeah, I worked all weekend to get them. Do you know how fucking hard it is to paint lattice work? Seriously.
