Arrrggghhh Ye Maties! -- I recieved my bundle of pirated software! But ya know what? I'm not going to say what it is, cuz for all you know it could be a disk of pirated mp3's, or some big $4000 software program, or maybe... it's a pink pony that gallops across the screen before the screen saver comes on. Bwahahahahahaha I was surfing around through old movie reviews and it's funny how internet users seemed to have a love/hate relationship with Wes Anderson/Owen Wilson's The Royal Tenebaums. Personally I loved the movie. I loved Rushmore too, and this was just as good. Some of the people complained it was too dark for them, but common! What do they expect? Disney broadway-style movies with singing and dancing inbetween scenes? Or it all become a beautifuly romantic love story? After watching Rushmore with Jonathan he made the comment: "Ya know, after watching this and RT I've noticed that Wes Anderson has a knack for taking a very ugly time/scene/color scheme and making it into something likeable. I mean look at Bill Murry! In both movies he looks like a scruffy, dirty, old man, but some how you can't help but like the guy, even if he has incredibly greasy hair..." And I think it's that knack that I admire in those movies. Thus another reason why indie films rock! Like those Chevy trucks... or maybe not... Thursday, February 21, 2002
Got The Old Geek In Me Again! -- Horrah! I am a gamer chick once again! After being absent from the gaming world for a few years (due to my father not buying a Playstation or any good games, except I'll give him credit for Gauntlet Legends...that was nice) I am getting back into the grove of things, but in an old skool way. When I moved I took my Sega Genesis/CD/32X and SNES consoles along with a small box full of assorted games. I also was able to find a copy of Lunar the Silver Star for the Sega CD (the FIRST time I have ever seen an actual copy of the game with my own eyes (other than an ad in a magazine). Unfortunately I had to chuck up $50 to buy it, but common! How many people can say they have the original vintage version of the Lunar game? Cuz the story line changed bit by bit as the game was updated for the Sega Saturn and the Sony Playstation. In the Playstation version the characters are around the age of 16, while in the Sega CD version they're only 12 or 13. Yeah the graphics aren't as good, okay it just plains sucks compared to the PS version, but I kinda like the playability of the Sega CD game. Right now I've been staying up until 2 AM each night playing through the game, and I'm almost finished with it... yippie! At a family home evening session (it's a thing ment for families but since there's a good amount of us in my church that are students away from our own familes we meet together once a week, have a short spiritual devotional thing and an activity) I suggested we have a Street Fighter tournament as the activity. Everyone else backed out except for Quinn (the guy who's dorm we meet at). He owned PSX Street Fighter Alpha 3. Unfortunately I was not experienced with the PSX controls nor the characters moves on SFA3, but I had played SF2 and Super SF for YEARS on my Genesis, so I knew what I was doing as long as I equipped Ryu, Ken, Cammy, or Akuma. I think Quinn was being nice, but I was able to kick his butt a few times, and he now deemed me as a "worthy opponant" (for a girl, haha!) I guess I'm so superiffic spiffily excited about getting back into video games because I really don't have much here to pass the time since I don't have a job yet *frown* Until I get one I'll be at home waiting for phone calls from prospective employers and playing RPG's.

Boys... Them Crazy Crazy Boys -- After today I'm kinda scared to go to Publix again. There's a guy that works there who has tried hitting on me (trying not to be obvious, which he failed miserably on that one... haha) for the second time. Okay first day he's the cashier and ringing up my groceries. I happened to be wearing my Paul Frank shirt with the dancing monkeys on it and as he rings up my stuff he starts talking about my shirt and how the monkeys are Curious George. I tried to explain to him that it had nothing to do with good ol George and that they were Paul Frank monkeys (any of you who shop at Pacific Sunwear know that Paul Frank and Curious George have NOTHING in common, infact they are different species... I think?), but he kept arguing that they weren't. When I walked out of the store my first impression was, "okay that kid is nuts." Today I'm wearing the exact same shirt as before, and I'm standing infront of the ice cream toppings section (some friends and I are going to have a girl's night out at my apartment later this week and I wanted to get some goodies). I hear a "clank" noise behind me and see a toy truck sliding infront of me. Then "he" walks up to the truck and goes "aww some kid lost his toy car!" Picks it up, looks straight at me, and gives one of those "hey babe" smiles. My impression of him after that was "Okay this kid is lame!" Yeah it's harsh I know, but I CAN'T STAND THAT!!! Why? I donno I'm a freak.
Bored -- I was bored tonight and decided to check the stats on my webpage. I get a decent amont of hits on this dohicky, which suprises me because all it is, is a bunch of boring babble from me. I've read many other blogs and there's never really any I WANT to go back to. I normally visit Hannah's every time I get the chance because she's my friend and I really care about her and what goes on in her life. I also love to read whatdoiknow.org because I feel his opinions are honest and the site is very informative. But as for other people I just can't get too interested. They either whine about how horrible their life is and how mistreated they are (which I understand this can be like a sort of therapy), or they just go on about nothing really. I've always felt my site was a combination of the two... my whines and rants and babble about my mundaine life. Yet for some reason I get visitors... probably poor misguided google surfers who happened to be searching for "Sea Lab 2021" or something. I donno why I'm even bothering typing this into here... oh yeah I forgot, I was bored. :) Ya know... after looking over my previous entry, I realized that pronouns really are a good thing!

Mira -- Last night I went to see Mira at the Velvet Elvis Lounge. It was a VERY GOOD show! I guess it helped that the sound jerk from the Cow House wasn't handling the show because everything was great. I bought their first self-titled cd (it's hard to find outside of the net) and some stickers. The odd thing is that the Velvet apparently only shows one band at a time, so there wasn't any bands playing before or after Mira, and the show didn't really start until 11:30. So you can imagine how bored I was sitting in a bar (especally with me not being a drinker) waiting several hours for the band to play. But it was all good, especially the show!

Boredom -- Here's a list of movies that I have watched in the past 11 days: The Cell I think I'm forgetting some.... :(
Cyber Sluts -- These people baffle the hello kitty out of me! I really don't understand why someone would log online under the screen name "bigdickinmouth" or "bangthebitch" and expect you to go with they're little "hey I'm easy" scheme to do whatever it is they want? Here's a convo I had with "bangthebitch" and you'll see what I mean... BangTheBitch: hi Okay is that the most retarded thing in the WORLD?! Oh baby I'm so hot for you I want you to rate my pic that really isn't my pic because I'm really a 400 lb greasy old man making you think I'm a pretty 19lb blonde.... ARGH!!! COMMON PEOPLE! |
