  • i've got a bicycle in my head...i've got a bakery in my brain (bop bop) 2001-10-03 13:43:40 Sigh...yet another broadband provider has contacted me and told me that service isn't available at my home. Why didn't I think to research this before I picked such a buttfuck-in-the-woods place to live? And I'm only 10 minutes from downtown Baltimore, who would've thunk it? Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck!

    I spent over $50 on ICO for my PS2 yesterday...and I didn't even get a chance to open it yet. I was too busy reading Dreamcatcher...which is quite good, now that the ass-blowing alien stuff has passed. Gotta finish that tonight, then maybe I'll bust open ICO. It looks like such a fun game...

    I found the local library yesterday! Yes, I am a fucking nerd. I lost track of time as I bathed in the splendor of the science fiction/fantasy section (no other library I've ever been to has had an entire WALL dedicated to scifi/fantasy!). Alas, since I don't have a Maryland driver's license yet, they only let me take out one book...my real card is coming in the mail, just so they can be sure I didn't give them some bogus address.

    Wrote up rules for the DDR 2 project today...I can still think of a whole slew of different ways lazy people can shirk and slip through the cracks, but at least we'll have more reliable people working on it this time around.

    Today at work today put up a note on the bulletin board asking people to stop putting up news articles that might offend people. Someone then followed by sticking up a picture of a bunch of missiles, planes, bombs, etc. that my company makes with the caption, "The terrorists have won the toss and chosen to receive!" Funny shit. My favorite was when someone put a picture of one of those "Speed limit enforced by aircraft" highway signs with a fully armed Apache helicopter pasted in behind it :D 
  • my boredom has outshined the sun... 2001-10-02 14:52:10 Wow, 300 hits...self-consciousness is starting to kick in.

    I am so bored right now it hurts. I've been listlessly surfing the web for hours. Webcomics are no good, because all the decent ones are so overloaded with ads and Keenspot nonsense that each strip takes 5 minutes to load.

    I went to my boss to ask for something else to do, but he's not there. Damnit. 
  • words can't define what i feel inside, who needs them? caught with this virus of my mind i give in...to my disease of my needs... 2001-10-02 13:27:07 Gah...I thought I still had like $75 left on my BB giftcard. Turns out I only had $11. I forgot that my other giftcard hadn't come in the mail yet. As a result I ended up spending $70+ at BB during lunch. Crap.

    I know which DDR song I want now...I've been listening to it endlessly at work today. Damn, it's so incessantly catchy...I just need to come up with a concept for a VIDEO! Argh.

    Just got an e-mail from my ex...things are really going to hell in that department. I wish I could bring myself to care, but I just can't. I made "With Every Light" to get over it, and that's exactly what I did. Funny how I was originally the one who couldn't let go. The song "Hunter" by Dido used to scare me...now it makes me scoff. 
  • last night I turned around and thought I saw myself turning...inside the strangest dream of life unloved and cities burning... 2001-10-02 10:16:04 Listening to tracks for DDR2 now (thanks Nightowl)...a lot of the songs on this mix are some of my fav DDR tracks. Fantastic songs, but unfortunately I'm not really being hit by any great ideas for videos yet. What makes it more frustrating is that when it comes time to choose tracks, I will probably have one of the first picks...so I need to make it a good one.

    ::several tracks later:: Yeesh...some of these songs are truly dreadfull. Ick. I think I've narrowed it down to 2 tracks that I'd want as my "primary" track.

    Hmmm...for my lunch hour I think I'm going to go down to Best Buy and buy ICO for PS2 using my multiple BB giftcards (yay for rebates).

    Hey look...I'm actually doing work at work today! I hate this Matlab GUI thing though...all I've been doing for the past hour is making my program look "pretty."

    Holy shit...I just read on the Smashing Pumpkins' official site that the story upon which the Machina albums are based is going to be made into an animated series..."Glass and the Machines of God" or something...and that it will be broadcast online or something. That's fucking weird. 
  • a job that slowly kills you...bruises that won't heal... i'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide... 2001-10-01 11:05:25 I was just on my Member Main Page, checking for new opinions (none) and I caught a glimpse of my Top 10 Anime list, which I haven't looked at since I made it.

    El Hazard was there near the bottom, number 9 I believe. I was suddenly reminded of sitting in my dorm room freshman year (with my rancid nightmare of a roommate), watching the last few dubbed tapes of The Magnificent World. The feeling of excitement I felt, of being helplessly enthralled...I don't think anything I've seen/read since then has given me the same feeling. And sometimes I think that maybe I've grown up too much, so that that feeling isn't possible in me anymore. What a terrible thought.

    Ever since college started kicking in 4 years ago, real life seems to invade everything I enjoy now...anime, video games, books...the last RPG I finished was FF7. What happened to the days when I kicked Kefka's ass twice in a month? Or where I stayed up until 4 am, shoulder sore from propping my head up, reading about the adventures of Bink and King Trent? The last time I played FF9, about 6 months ago, I spent the entire time looking at my watch to make sure I wasn't wasting too much time. That's no fun.

    Silly as this may sound, after AnimeUSA I need to seriously dig in and RELAX. All of this running around is burning me the fuck out.

    I'm going to finish watching the second half of Berserk in one sitting. As with the second half of Trigun. All of Key: one week.
    I'm going to finish FF9 before Thanksgiving. I'm going to buy that new game Ico for my PS2 and finish it in a week. I'm going to reread "The Talisman" and then read "Black House" within a week of each other.
    I'm going to reread the entirety of "Lord of the Rings" before the first movie comes out.

    I'm going to become a complete couch potato. By Katsucon, I'm going to weigh 294 pounds. But I won't be able to stop smiling. And the bags under my eyes will be gone.
