Up and Atom, DDBoy!!!!
2002-08-12 23:20:34
So what has DD been doing these past few hours other than suffering. Well, I'm not feeling as bad as before. A half bottle of Pepto Bismol can be quite helpful at times...^_^. Well, I looped 3 Duane Johnson vids repeatedly for about an hour. Ranma/I still haven't found what I'm looking for, Ranma/I'm gonna be, and Please Save my Earth/Tears in Heaven are the 3. The first mentioned one is just amazing. I don't get it. There are no effects, and it doesn't have what I would consider top-notch action synching. Yet it is just so moving. I love that amv. I'm not even going to comment on the emotion in the Tears in Heaven vid. These vids have what all of mine lack. My vids are more flashy action synching strobe cuts to cover the lack of anything meaningful. Yet his vids, with there complete lack of any effects, and average action synching are just magnificent. The more I watch them, the less I want to finish my Eva vid. It is nothing but action synching and FX. There is no real story behind it.........
But looping those vids put me into a Ranma mood, so I watched Nihao My Concubine. I love that movie. The Big Trouble in Nekonron, China was awesome too, but I just can't watch it as much. I don't really know why. That's just how it is.................
I'm feeling a little better, I think I can manage a trip over to the forum now. So let me go see what's going on over there...

Owwwwww....Owwwwwwwwww....

I think I'm about to go puke. Not out of jealousy, or anger. Not even out of sorrow. I'm going to puke out of good ol' fashioned sickness. It's been awhile since I've had one of those. Usually I puke out of sorrow, and ocassionally envy, but hardly ever out of just your basic sickness. My stomach has been turning all day, and making some of the strangest fuss I've ever heard.....owww...............
I did manage to watch the AX documentary through all this pain. Those musicians at the end were awesome. I could do that. Get out there with saxophone, or flute or something, and play Secret of Mana, and Zelda tunes. I could play that tune from Sailor Moon that that bad guy played on his flute to turn those cards into monsters. I forgot what that guy's name was, but it was him, and some girl. They were the villains for that season I guess, and that was a cool damn tune they played.......owwwww
i think i'm just going to lay my head flat on the keyboard...................bvhu
wow, all that cane out was bvhu................
forive the lack of caps, i typed that all with one finger, so it was hard to hold shift and hit the key at the same time.......................i'm using my other hand to rest my head, so it won't fall on the keyboard again...........................................
ooooo, the humanity of it all..........................................i planned on going up to the college tomorrow to get my books and just hang out for a while to get back in the mood sice school starts in a week....now i don't think i'm even going to bother waking up. i'm just going to lay in pain on the bed until work wednesday morning................................
to be in so much pain i sure have typed alot. formatting is hell though. jbone would have a good time correcgting this writing i bet 6-6...that would be my standard smiley face, but not holding shift it comes out like that..........................................

You know, I should probably write those reviews for mj and devo today since I'm off. But between the countless hours of play Starcraft, getting yelled at for spending all my money, and not working on my new vid, I just can't find the time or motivation to do so right now. I will get you both a review up sometime, but this is my last week before college is officially back in session, so I'm just going to hang around, and do hardly nothing next to playing Starcraft...........
I really should work on my Eva vid. It's been a few days since the last time I opened Premiere. I just lost the motivation to work with it. It was coming together good. I'll give it a few more days, and see if the motivation comes back........
Until then, I'm off to play some more Starcraft.........

The Replacement
2002-08-11 00:34:53
Okay, after cooling off a little I decided it would be better to make that last entry private. It was more of a private problem anyways. I sure no one really cares about it, and I apologize to anyone whose time I wasted with it........
It will instead be replaced this memorable Ren and Stimpy song...
"Happy happy, joy joy. Happy happy, joy joy. Happy happy, joy joy. Happy happy joy joy. Happy happy, joy joy. Happy happy, joy joy. Happy happy, joy joy joy."
That song is much more uplifting that hearing me complain about all of my budget problems.....

I'm the DD that exist in your mind.(Yet another Eva writing brought on my Silver_moon's last entry)

Well, I sure didn't get any editting done today. I bought Starcraft during my break from work today. That was a big mistake. All I have done since 6:00 is play. I've played it for 5 straight hours now, and am about to go back. It's so addictive. I don't see how I never got this game when it first game out. I guess it's good though. It was only 9.99, as opposed to 59.99 for Warcraft 3. I just couldn't see myself giving up $60. I can get away with a little 10 buck purchase, but I made just enough to cover my car payment. Had I spent anymore, I would have been out of luck......................
MAJOR END OF EVA SPOILERS AHEAD...
(you have been warned)
"What bothered me a lot was that a reason for why everyone was getting so depressed was never really given. No one really died (until the ending of course during the time everyone was depressed), and nothing terribly traumatic seemed to happen to the characters, yet they were all crazily depressed." -- Silver_moon
Well, Asuka's mother hung herself, after replacing Asuka with a doll. Shinji and his father hate each other, and I'm pretty sure Shinji blames his father for his mother's death. Rei...I just don't get her. There were 3 of her through out the series. She kept dieing(sp?), but she couldn't really die because Gendo had a whole basement full of her...^_^. These characters all had very depressing lives, and piloting the Evas just brought all that back. Having to face their pasts. The whole series up until the final episode was somewhat depressing. It's like it built up a sense of happiness in you, only to crush it in the final half of the series. As for the End of Eva, all it was basically doing was showing how the final 2 eps. take place. They both took place completely in Shinji's mind. End of Eva shows why. That giant cross thingy "swallowed" him up, and the fate of the world was left up to him. It appears to me at first he chose to kill off everyone. Hence the people popping and all that. In the end though, I believe he changed his mind, and ended up killing himself, and letting the world continue on. Him and Asuka being "soul-mates" met up in that strange looking hell dimension place, where they strangle each other for all eternity...j/k..^_^'. I'm not really sure what they do, and even if they are soul-mates. But Asuka died when that fake Lance of Longinus(??) stabbed her in the face, and she is there with Shinji, which led me to believe that he killed himself to save the world. Of course, all of this is just my point of view. I'm probably way off, but seeing it this way gives me a sense of completion, and I like my ending......
END OF SPOILERS
(you have been unwarned)
Man, I think I could go on for days dicussing Eva.....
"It left you open to interpret it by itself..." - Silver_moon
You should watch Lain if you want a series with an ending left open for your own interpretation. My head is still hurting to this day, and I don't have any clue how to interpretate yet. And I consider myself a pretty smart guy when it comes to stuff like this. Lain just blew my mind though........
Hey, since you've seen Eva now, I guess you can go back and read my "Final Genesis" entry. That's the one where I interpreted the series to the best of my ability...
Okay, I didn't plan on writing so much, but I had to reply to the Eva comments in Silver_moon's last entry....
