Sex is something if it's lookin' good / startin' fires in the neighborhood / we bleed and stain the carpet / we start our own republic

Been scouring the web for a new host... he.net's Business Host plan (500 MB/50GB) looks good - I'd love to move back to he.net, provided that 1. I can block unapproved img src commands, and 2. I can check my bw use on a daily basis to make sure I don't get any nasty surprises.
The latter is he.net's only major flaw - late invoices and late notice. Otherwise, their service and customer support was excellent. I was really pissed at them for the late notice, but I'm glad I didn't burn any bridges there. (Sort of.)
If I get my cable shut off (goodbye, Powerpuff girls!), I can afford that plan.
At this rate, my videos will never have a home, since my artwork alone pulls 30GB. Sad!
Was driving to the gym last night when I decided to pop in a certain CD... and my next music video unfolded right before my eyes. Seriously. I almost got in a wreck. Only problem is that the last line of the song is going to be tricky. The first 2 or 3 minutes are going to rock hardcore, though
Bum. Ba TAK. Ba bum bum. TAK TAK. Bum. Ba TAK. Ba bum bum. TAK TAK.
ggggrrrngrrrnngnrnngrrrrrnnn....grrrrngrngrrrnngrnrnnrnr(screeee)grrnnrnrngrrnnnnnnnnnnn... badadundundundunTAKA TAKA NNNYYYYYYYEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW.
::plays pen-drumsticks on desk::
(If you can guess the song from that, you win a pie.)
Edits will be tricky, since I have 4 layers of musical cues to follow (drum, bass, lead guitar, vocals) and each is following its own path. There's a long guitar solo towards the end that will be super-rough, too, but I can't cut it because the song's so organic.
Hsien, will you be my beta-tester on this one? I'm starting it in a week. -

Quoth MCWagner:
"EK: Hey, did Merril come out to Ushicon, or was it an "approved" Anime Hell?"
Danno & Bruce gathered the material, and Bruce ran it. YOU ARE NAUGHTY PROFESSOR! GIVE ME THE HOT WATAHHH!
Also, I can grok all of your con quotes except the following:
* Security Go-kart Pikachu
- Go-kart Pikachu is pretty self explanatory - he was an honorary member of our Security team.
* Sex Omelet
- Match Game joke
* "Bum bum ba-bummmmm... waaaaaaah"
- Match Game SFX that got used in various other situations over the weekend
* Symphonic lounge Mario Brothers
- The wonderful Jason Parris entertaiend us with a dissonant piano rendition of the Super Mario Bros. "underground" music, in 7ths...
Gonna try moving my site again tomorrow.

USHICON 1 is OVER.
At 5 on Sunday, Brett, Alex, and I flipped out staff badges over and wrote "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" on the blank side. It was such a great feeling.
I'm still too worn out to give a real report (read Machine's, it covers the con better than I could, because I was working Reg most of the time), so here's a list of random memories:
* Got to meet Machine, mexicanjunior, Frost, and treeprincess, which was very very cool. Also got to sit and talk with Coderjoe for a while, rather than just a "hi-bye" while frantically heading somewhere.
* LOTS of con newbies in attendance. This is good. First con = enthusiasm & excitement rather than "Grr! This isn't as big as A-kon!"
* Security Go-kart Pikachu
* Sex Omelet
* "... or how about 'alt.fan.cardcaptor-sakura.anal-warts'?"
* "Bum bum ba-bummmmm... waaaaaaah"
* "Ushicon Registration staff, rockin' da hizzouse"
* "How ya doing, EK?"
"Hmm, sleep-deprived, 4 out of 10 on the hangover scale, and I think I'm coming down with whatever Steve Bennett has... yeah, 'bout average for Sunday."
* "Will you STOP ARGUING FOR A GODDAMN MINUTE and tell me where Greg is?!"
"We don't know!!"
"Oh. ... OK, thanks."
* "Wait a minute... someone not on staff and not a guest was getting consensual nookie in their private hotel room, and you're complaining to CON STAFF about this?! WTF are you on?"
* AMV Panel: "VIDEO TRACK 1!! YEAAAAAAAAAAHH!! PREMIERE ROCKS!! YEAAAAH!!"
* Boxy the Reg mascot
* "There was so much cash, I couldn't hold it all in one hand!"
"Cool! Did you throw it on the bed and roll around in it?"
"Nah, I couldn't - I was in Ops."
* Hickory Farms Beef Log
* Greggo: "Flip out your thingy..."
* Me: "Ahhhh, I'm so happy. My inner fangirl is completely sated."
Brett: "I hate to say this, EK, but that fangirl ain't so inner."
* Pokey Vash shouting "HOORAY" complete with strikethrough
* Permanent marker on dry erase board = BAD
* Me, Alex & Doug: "We were so there. We were so there, like, in an instant. We rock."
* Jess as Excel: "Fak YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!"
* "Oh, the baseball bat reminded me of how you can beat up the hookers and take their money! I love doing that!!"
* Jerry-rigged karaoke as compensation for multiple brainfarts
* "Heeeey! Anime hell has almost no anime!"
"Yeah - read the fucking program book!"
* Random attendee: "Wow! I am wildly intoxicated!"
* Having to explain the Jet Arm / Motor joke
* "Well, you see, the reason you don't have a dealer's table is YOU DIDN'T RESERVE ONE."
* Official PR Enforcer
* "You need to ask Ben - he's our video guy."
* "See, that's funny because we're twelve."
* Hotel staff finally understanding why we asked them to lock up the piano
* Symphonic lounge Mario Brothers
* KUNG PAO CHICKEN!!!
More coherent material to come...
