After downloading and watching DDR4 (good times) I messed around with Reason 2.5 which is a program for making music remixes until 2am and I finally figured out how the hell to import a song and mess with it. I ended up creating a really shitty Megaman 2 Dr. Wily remix (aka, import a midi and change the instruments). This shit is confusing as hell and there's about a billion things you can do to change every single thing in the song.
It might take YEARS before I actually get good at this but it's sure alot of fun! :) -
Ppppp... Pac Man!

I was at the gym today running on the treadmill listening to songs on my ipod then suddenly I lost my shit laughing.
I played the aphex twin pac man song from the RVG Project and I started looking at everyone else running the other treadmills and looking at everyone running with the pac man song was seriously one of the funniest things ever.
It was really hard to control my laughter but I held it in pretty good and hopefully nobody noticed me :P -
New stuff!

I've more or less recovered from my Atlanta cold... I don't go back to work till thursday so I've been working on managing VG3 and some other stuff.
In order to prevent people from looking at my directory on my tibex space, I set up a personal webpage there with some stuff, mostly an accurate catalog of all the amvs I've done from 1999-2004. Check it out and if you want me to add your link, send me an email.

My sister came up to me with a business proposal that I absolutely can't refuse. If this goes well, I can quit my part time job at the end of the year and will still be earning a decent amount of money. By then, I'm absolutely guaranteed vacation time for Ushicon and AWA next year! :) -
Airplane hell.
2004-10-01 17:37:14
Forgot to mention last week that my flights were both smooth and hellish. I had chosen window seats all of the flights.
Thursday
LA to Denver
--------------
Went smooth for the most part. I beat Megaman 1 and 2 on my GBA.
Denver to Atlanta
------------------
Sat next to a couple, wife was cute but sadly obviously taken :P Tried to get some rest on the plane but there was a family sitting in the back of me where the little daughter kept kicking my seat so I hit the seat with my back which got her to stop. The mother was watching one of the inflight movies and would NOT STOP LAUGHING every 5 fucking minutes. It got so annoying that I could even hear it through my headphones. So I took out my GBA and started Megaman 3 and the couple immediately asked me how I got Megaman 3 on the GBA. I didn't want to explain the process of getting a flash card and putting roms on it so I just told them stores already had it and they believed me :P I only got halfway through the doc robot stages before it was time to land.
------------------
Sunday
Atlanta to Denver
-------------------
Probably the best flight, I had nobody sitting next to me in my row so I was able to lie down through all 3 seats for a while and started on Megaman 4.
Denver to Atlanta
------------------
The last flight was the calm before the storm..... because every single bad thing about my flights all came into one here....
The rows were only 2 seats each and as soon as I settled in my window seat, this 500 pound fat british lady sits next to me and takes up 1/5th of my seat and all of hers. So obviously I was squished. I didn't wanna be rude and say anything so I had to endure it most of the time. There was a cantonese couple in the front of me and their relatives in the back constantly arguing in their native language THE ENTIRE FUCKING FLIGHT. Luckily the stewards tell them to be quiet but 15 minutes later they continue to fight. The final icing on the cake was 2 guys 2 rows ahead of me were watching the inflight movie and were laughing 100x worse than the lady on my denver-atlanta flight. Even my cd player could not block away any of the sounds of laughter and fighting. I could barely reach for my backpack to get my GBA because of the fat lady squishing me. I didn't wanna say anything and I noticed she tried to scoot over so I could get my stuff. Luckily I had to go to the bathroom and it never felt so good to stretch my legs so I stayed in there for a good 20 minutes and noticed my eyes were bloodshot to hell. I barely got to Dr. Cossack's fortress in Megaman 4 because of the hellish flight. Then ended the most grueling 2 hours of flying I have even been through.
Notes to self:
Never get window seats again. Watching the airplane take off is cool but is not worth being smashed by a 500 pound lady just to see it.
Turn the volume on my headphones up.... LOUD.
Never assume that I can sleep on a plane, I just can't.
Most important...
Get aisle seats.... EVERY TIME. -
Feeling sick...
2004-09-29 18:06:11
Sadly I have not recovered much from AWA since I caught a cold pretty early when I was there and it seems to have gotten a bit worse. While I'm not coughing like a maniac, I seem to be sleepy all the time with soar throats and a headache.
When I was at work yesterday, I was called over by my supervisor to meet with him privately in his office so I was thinking "OMG FIRED". He asked me about my trip and he noticed that I caught a cold while I was there. When you work at a hospital and try to hide the fact that you're sick, they know you're sick. So he told me to take some time off work but I refused but he said that I am a potential danger to myself and possibly the patients I work with and it's under the hospital policy to take medical care of their employees. The good news is that I have work off for an entire week till next thursday and they are still willing to give me the full 2 weeks pay for it. I ended up getting some free robutussin (sp?) Triaminic, tylenol, nyquil, and some sleeping aid I can't even pronounce.
Going to class has been absolute hell because I can't stay there sitting down for so long. I feel like I'm just ready to pass out or throw up half the time. The worst thing is that I have important assignments to turn in this week so I can't miss class....
Because of this, now I have to miss the NES and RVG showings at Ani Magic this weekend plus I had no idea it would be the weekend after AWA. Being in an otaku filled environment in my current condition won't do very well for my health. Plus I am planning to head over to Ushicon this Jan so I have cancel buying video games like GTA: San Andreas and Megaman X command mission... :(
I am still willing to manage VG3 but only after naps and when my medication kicks in. I'll be spending most of my time resting/watching sources for amvs so I'll try to be online at night.
