Grog. "THWIP!"
2002-05-04 08:48:49
Just woke up about ten minutes ago. Had the weirdest dream... But first, about last night.
Went to see Spider-Man. Now, keep in mind that this is the first movie I've gone to see opening day, and as it turns out, besides the group of six from my school that I went to see it with, pretty much the entire school went to see it at the exact same time that I/our group did. Or should I say, the entire senior class, which is odd because it just so happens that I traveled with a bunch of sophomores. Odd. Didn't think of that until just now. Anywho, it was SO much better than what I was thinking... after they mussed up the story with his "powers" (they thought it would be unrealistic that a kid could "manufacture" a webbing. ...keep in mind, folks that this is a FANTASY movie.), I was afraid they were gonna fuss up everything. Not true. They kept pretty close to the original storyline, except that it's like... now, instead of the 1960's. And Flash is dumber and he's got brown hair. Anyway, Kirsten Dunst was pretty damn hot/good with her role of MJ... and here's where the dream comes into play. There's this scene (SMALL SPOILER... grow the heck up, peeps.) where it's raining, Spider-man saves MJ and it just so happens to be raining. Well, her clothing's kinda light, so you get quite the nip shot.
So, as I wake up, I shake a dream about me in some undersea adventure thing, and the last thing I remember is...I think I was watching the Little Mermaid 2, even though I've never seen it... Ariel, the Little Mermaid, wearing no shells to hide her busom...and I'm thinking, "Jeez, they'll let kids watch anything these days from Disney."
That's about it.
Odd. I know.
Stupid and strangely sick, that too. But I just had to share that with the approximately two dozen people that even read my journal. Keep on comin, guys! I really appreciate it!

I tell ya, if there was one thing that I needed to happen to me to convince me that moving out of Michigan to a big city like Chicago or Boston was a HELLA bad idea, it'd be the five-day trip TO Boston, Massachusets that I just so happened to have recently returned from. And let me tell you, I don't care HOW big and comfy the charter busses say they are... after a nineteen hour drive (one way, then 19 the other), you're ready to ditch the seats and camp out on the isle floor. Which I did. Quite nice until the Customs inspector had to kick me awake during ID checks when crossing the Canadian borders. That was fun.
Aah, and to think that it was the first time I'd gone out of state besides the two trips to Canada, and after much debate, I've decided that it's easier to keep money in that country than in Boston alone. Take, for example, the Boston Market dinner I had the second (was it the second...? Musta been) night I was there. It was a SPECTACULAR Chineese dish (fastfood, but fabulous nonetheless) consisting of fried rice, this reddish chicken which was YUMMY and some Orange Chicken. Oh, and let's not forget the Crab Rangoon. Fav part of any Chineese dish. Anyways, that fabulous dinner cost me a fabulous fifteen dollars and nintey-eight cents. It brings me back to the memories of walking into McDonald's in Canada, buying a $3.49 breakfast combo, paying for it with a five and getting four dollars back. Yes indeed, Boston saw us tourists comin'. I mean, even a sit-in resturant dubbed Mama Miah's (No, I didn't spell it wrong, and yeah, it's got great Italian. If you're ever visiting the Mayflower 2 in Plimoth Rock, it's a fairly quick walk across the street from the Pepperige Farm's store. Can't miss the sign; it's an older-style house building thingie. Kinda like a whorehouse.)... when I asked about free refills, the waitress gave me this puzzled look as if to say, "Drinks I understand. What the hell is Free?" I now have a new-found respect for those that live, eat and drive in Boston (more on driving later) and such towns.
The purpose of going there I'm sure you're contemplating. It was planned so that our Band would play in Boston Market for the adoring masses. It rained heavily the day before we were supposed to get on with the show and the Band director pointed out that he'd have to cancel the concert (a 45 minute concert, by the way.) if the bad weather were to persist, which of course, it immediately decided to turn crystal clear outside. So the next day we played; the only downside being that we ended up chasing after our music as it blew off the stands with the 50 MPH wind gusts. Whooooooosh. That got a few laughs.
Then we were able to SHOP! Two hours all to ourselves, and I was planning on buying a Gameboy Advance, a few Game Cube games, including Bloody Roar... and an assload of music.
They don't even know what half of what I was looking for even was. But I did find a store, horribly overpriced as it was, that had in stock several things on my checklist, including a DVD of Farscape, one of the BEST series ever created... and it's from Australia to boot!... a pair of the ear-grapplin' headphones... and Samurai X the Movie! Hot damn, can't wait to pop that in, but seeing as I've been running on about four hours of sleep these past five days, you'll forgive me for passing out before I got to play with my goodies.
At any rate, after all was said and done (and I purchases a visor-cap, a Boston Tee-shirt and a Boston polo jacket... I exited Taco Bell, the last stop just today until returning home, with seven cents to my name. No shit. I came there with $240. Do the math.
More than half of what I paid for this week came from food expenses all alone, and breakfasts and two dinners were free.
Anyways, the last thing I find the need to comment on was the shit shit shitty shit called Hard Rock Cafe. The cheeseburger was burned and it took me two and a half hours to get it, the only thing keeping me in my seat and not finding and assassinating our waiter the fact that two entire school bands, including us and a band from Pennsylvania (cheaters), were being squeezed into one Hard Rock Cafe. But the guitars on display kicked ass... there was a missing one from the Beatles, but most importantly, there was a guitar for Ace of Base! From their first album! I didn't even know that those kids even HAD any acoustics in their band until going to HRC of Boston. See, you DO learn something every day.
And about driving.
Don't do it in Boston. And if you do, just know where your middle finger is. Our tour guides sure did.
I did get quite a good amount of time with the Japanese Foreign Exchange Student's gameboy advance, though. Street Fighter 2: Turbo Revival and Sonic Advance kick friggin' ass! Though it still pisses me off that NOWHERE in Boston Market can you GET a gameboy. What the fuck. And for the most worthless Gameboy Color game of the year, MEGAMAN X-TREME takes the cake! With its suckass graphics and horrible music, you'll want to kill it. Best GBC game ever? MEGAMAN X-TREME 2! Why!? Cos the music is AWESOMELY better than the first one's and you can play as ZERO, one of the greatest perks of all MMX games evar!
Oh, and on a rather disturbingly disappointing note, our church's priest is up on charges on what I can only assume would be statutory rape. The first year after his ordination (when he became a priest) he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year old male. So I dunno if the law states that Stat rape starts at either sixteen and below or seventeen and below. Either way, I dun think he's going to be preaching much any more. Today was his last service and I stayed away from school an extra hour and a half to go to it. It's the last time I'll probably ever see him again... and if I cry one more time, I'm just going to vomit.
>sigh. Should have stayed in Boston.< Now for an AMV update! I'm a lazy bitch, so not even Meri nor VegettoEX have recieved my videos, much less the host. My bad. Now that I have my own CD burner, I'll be more than happy to send them to ...erm, them. And all the while keeping in mind that a certain someone >ahem:MERI:ahem< (in best Darth Vader impression possible) has yet to fulfill her part of the bargain. YOU PUNK! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PROMISING ME, EH? HOW LONG!?
Damn Jerseys.

Well, still haven't found out my widdle encoding problems, but I bet it'll be found out later... just oddity that it's messing up like that. BUT I do have the fourth DVD to Orphen finally! They weren't lying about five episodes per DVD, either... but quality-wise... ech. The first two episodes on the DVD did NOT impress me. What is usually one of the most beautifully hand-animated series that I've ever seen regressed to poor-quality hand-drawn animation with too many CPU-driven "ripple" magic effects... to the second episode looking like an episode of Digimon. Completely CPU-driven, and not something that impresses me. Luckily after those someone bitchslapped 'em back into High-quality mode. I was about to be very, very upset at getting the DBZ treatment... one episode beautiful, the next godawful... you know.
Other than that, things are kosher, besides the fact that I DON'T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL!

But I will. -
Well, well, well.

Haven't updated in a long time.
VegettoEX and Meri have obviously been sucked into a black hole, because all hails to their frequencies have gone unaknowledged, so that's it. I'll send what videos I have to the host (if he'll even still take them) and you'll see my older stuff, my newest stuff, and what not. Hope you'll enjoy my new stuff; I've been working as hard as I can to master the whole DVD technique.
But as I was getting good, I was forced to re-install Windows XP because it was actin' funny, like a virus. Luckily it wasn't, and if it was it was obliverated during the reformat, so it's all good... except for the fact that making a build in Adobe that's 3 minutes long now takes SIX HOURS, even under Windows98 SE! I don't know what's wrong, but I'm posting on the phorums for help. I obviously can't work on anything until this problem is resolved.
This is a busy month for me! Got a Health paper due (on Oxycontin... Kids, don't use the shit, it'll fuck you up BAD.), have Prom in two weeks (and my beautiful and lovely date, Sarah, can't wait. I'd say I couldn't, but you know me... if I don't have the willies, someone slipped something in my drink), going to Boston for an entire week at the end of the month (...I CANNOT WAIT! NO-SIR!)... my book's filled! This place, sorry to say, has been low on my priorities. Hope it's not offensive. Once I get settled into college, it's back to work, I promise. =)
Until the next time we meet, pardners...

GHRARGH!

Just when Smash Bros. Melee was getting boring, I realized that I still haven't gotten all the levels/trophies/characters(I thought)/events! So, after researching Sonic 'n Tails code (make 20 kills in Cruel Melee and you can use 'em) printed in EGM's APRIL (hint) issue, and much sweat blood and tears and not being able to get above FRICKIN' 7 KILLS IN CRUEL MELEE MODE (it should be renamed to "Cheap-ass crackwhore mode"), abandoned it, knowing that ANYONE that "claims" to have gotten above 15 kills is a FUCKING LIAR. YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU, YOU SHITFACED COCKMASTER! THE HELL YOU GOT 20 KILLS... Shigeru frickin' MiyaMOTO can't get above 20 kills, and if you by some miracle did, it was by cheating, and I hope you ROT IN HELL.
THEN I had to make it through every fudging event, and I was on a roll, until I hit 49 and 50, which are cheap-ass crackwhore sequels. I defeated them, of course, now to be faced against (event 51) Giga-Bowser, Mewtwo and Captain Falcon. If there's two unfair fights, Cruel's the first. Event 51 comes in at a close second, but I think I can at least pinch the snootchie bootchies outta 'em. Cruel can kiss my white ass, and may the person who created that mode fart so hard that he blows a whole into the center of the earth, instantly killing him and his next of kin, to prevent the spread of the "numbnuts gene" from circulating around the globe. Jesus fucking Christ (appologies, but I'm not taking it back), who comes UP with this shit?
>takes a deep breath< Wow... you sure can write a lot in two minutes when you're pissed off at the most awesome gaming console you've ever owned. Meh. Can't wait until I get the CD from Mike! Cos ya know what that means, boys and girls...
You get to see my new shezzat! My Anime Music Videos, my labido, how far I've come from Megaman X4! But not 'till I get the CD! Be sure to email him and express your heartfelt feelings about the delay of the mailings of the CD of my stuff, m'kay? It's all his fault. DIE, VEGETTO EX!
(just kidding... I only worship the air he breathes, ya know...)
So, poo poo kitty fuck. I'm out. Peace and all that stuff! Don't listen to EGM! In fact, burn every issue that you have. They suck anyways.

After seven hours of trying... those bastards. I shoulda known...
But you CAN play as Super Sonic in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Kickass.
