You want something done right? You just do it yourself.

God damn, free hosts can be a pain in the ass. Why? They figger, "Hey, he's not paying me for my services, so I can afford to just ignore the stoopud fucker". To a certain extent, he's correct, but he DID promise his services to me and has not delivered, free or not. In this case, I'd be in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout and basically have a big pissy fit.
But I'm not me today.
Nailz1000 has advertised an ...interesting... looking web server. One that offers >7< gigabytes of space for the normal price of >2<.
I am currently looking further into this, but rest assured that one way or the other, I'm getting my ass ON the net NOW.
Stay tuned.

I'm playing Final Fantasy X and any other PS2 game I can get my hands on, the AMV host STILL isn't reading his mail, and I've finally got a job and a car (happy birthday... to me). It's five to midnight, and I want you to find Anthony Cortese and filet him if he doesn't instantly put my stuff up for download. Just how am I supposed to get feedback if no one can see my stuff... email me if you have any questions/comments/flames... HARPER_L337@HOTMAIL.COM if you're too lazy to look at my profile which, by some strange coincidence, HAS JUST BEEN GIVEN A MOOLAGHA UPDATE, BOOYAH! Go and see. I sleep now, content that any CPS-2 game that's ever existed is now MIYAN. VegettoEX, it's headed your way right away!

And if you haven't yet checked it out, you should head over to MeriC's Utena "Liberations of Memories Past" (kudos to Mike for making up the name) video if you haven't yet. The first 40 seconds of it are unlike anything you've ever seen, guranteed or your money back. -
Empty bank accounts and male dogs ass-ramming! What's this world coming to!?

Ebay is so much fun. I get to go on and window shop for things that I'll never EVER have enough money to have, yet desire until the day I die. Take http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2110380127 for example. Bidding starts at 500 and you can "buy now" for 1200. This is close to 1000 comics, mostly Spider-man, X-men and Wolverine, the three series that, if there were no other series to compete with, would still be as precious to me as eleven-THOUSAND Image comics or whatever your independent-du-jour is. I salivate at these kinda things... maybe I should start investing five bucks out of every paycheck to get some lotto tickets, or them instant win scratch 'n sniff's (the sniff's come from losing)..
Speaking of which, I'VE GOT A JOB! Monday, I'LL TAKE THE ROAD TEST, then I'll have a CAR, A JOB AND SOMETHING RESEMBLING A LIFE! Isn't that just grand? It's a shitty car, and I'll be replacing it asap, of course, but it just makes me feel skooshy that my tattered life is starting to resemble something more like ...something. Yeah, that's it. :D
So, again, the host hasn't replied, and to be quite frank, I'm through with being polite; favor or not, this disregard for requests of updates that have gone completely ignored is quite frankly (again?) pissing me off! Dunno about you, but I'd like to see these things go online before I graduate... FROM COLLEGE. Jeez louise. Mayhaps you won't be able to see my stuff until I put my own page up, who knows. But that isn't happening until at least September, so if he doesn't do what he promised he would... well, I guess you'll be twiddling thumbs for some time before you get anything out of ME! HA-HO!
I'm still dog-sitting, and they're still slightly annoying. But last night (I shouldn't even be telling you this, but eh, only about fifteen of you read this anyways; may as well make it twelve) the golden retriever proceeded to >ahem< mount and proceed with his business. After the chocolate retriever took his jaws that ever-so-instantly wrapped around Goldie's throat (and I strived not to vomit), I made sure they were separated all night... and goldie sure as fuck wasn't sleeping with ME that night. So that, as they say, is that. Bye-bye, new Harper haters.
In what is quite possibly the best news I've heard in some time, I find that Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is coming out on the Playstation 2 in Japan! And not only THAT, but this version will have the capability to connect to the internet and compete ONLINE with each other! About time someone other than Kailliera gets to do that kinda stuff, eh? Oh, it shall be good. Mabye I can finally take Mike, aka VegettoEX on. Probably not, but hey, miracles freakin' happen. Besides, I'm not even sure he has a PS2, now that I think of it... ah vell. I'm sure more of you punks out there would be willing to give it a go! But I must warn you, The team of Shin Akuma, Wolverine and Spider-man simply cannot be beaten when in my hands. Nosir.

Yeah, that's it. -
Videogame Analysis Day

No, the host still hasn't answered.
On the plus side, I'm mere seconds away from finishing yet another typical DBZ video that I'm sure I'll be publicaly flogged for years to come. Well, to hell witcha all. This concludes the AMV part of my journal entry.
***
Turtling: Verb. Fighting Genre term; To block constantly, only striking when it is clearly safe to do so (i.e. Akuma looks down after you tell him his shoes are untied; while he is in the process of realizing he's never worn shoes in his entire life, you biff him in the nads, hopefully paralyzing him with the dreaded Testicular Atrophy Stomach Ache.)
I feel there is a need to replace the word this definition belongs to, and I say this because, just recently, mind you... I've noticed something rather peculiar. Though I can't particularly say I'm familiar with any other companies other than Tecmo, Capcom and SNK (to a much lower extent than the others), I've recently taken note that the "Bosses", the most dificult challenges in the entire game, consist of CPU-driven madmen that block an impossibly-numerous attacks launched from you, and proceeds to pummel you into oblivion the second you attack and do not have the chance to block directly afterwards. Just recently, Capcom has begun to catch my attention in this respect; I myself am fairly new to the genre, having only started playing The SFA (Street Fighter Alpha) series just a year and a half ago. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for the Dreamcast, God bless its soul, made the interest bloom into love, and it is currently close to RPG's on my list of game genres to play on a regular basis. But how am I supposed to practice pulling off "Ultra-Hard 18-hit Aerial combos" if it's virtually impossible to pull one off unless you join the ranks of "turtler"s? In fact, I move that the word Turtle should be forever be replaced with the word Boss, and to describe what you're doing...
...Bossing. (i.e. "Quit Bossin' my ass, you cheap bastard of a player!")
I cry when angels deserve to die, and I come near to tears when I come up against an unwinnable fight.
My final note of the day: Whoever created the Cloister of Trials in Final Fantasy X should be shot.
Twice.

Hehe. It just stuck out and I was bored. ^-^
Well, the Open House was today, which means >mad applause and screaming< All those silly traditional graduater-thingies are OVER! I've been given the green light to go on with my life! >numerous surprised/horrified gasps< What a concept. >Sighs< Thought it'd never end... got lotsa cards, and got even more money: 205 bucks to be exact. The cruel irony of the thing is we paid more than that to set up the open house... ah vell. Think of it as going to the Casino and not losing everything, but earning back most of what you spent before you call it quits. The truly sveet thing about it, though, is even though the parents paid for the open house... >grabs bills< I get to keep the moolah!
>is saddened as his father takes every bill/check< Dun think so, son! This goes into your college fundage account! HO HA Hi-YAH!
>numerous "aww"s in the background< It's okay, kids. It's okay. I've only got twenty four bucks in my pocket... >sniffles< but it's >chokes on tears< ..okay...
Seriously, though, the host is still in that "well, I'm not here, so I'm not replying to your status update request, so suck it" mode, perhaps indefinately. The obvious final outcome of the whole thing is that he "can't get it working" and he's "terribly sorry", just as the last host did. Bah! The world blows!
And there is a big fucking bug outside my dogsitting house's window. Where's dem bug zappas when you wants 'em?
Guess I'll hairspray the mofo. >grabs air freshener...< Hmm, good enuff. DIE!
>he dies<
>later<
Fuuuck, even after he died, he's still here. But now he's piszed. I'm gonna let you go as I take care of insect problems. Now, where did I put that lighter...
