Home Alone

So.... I broke my key off in the lock of the door to my apartment last Saturday. I've been having issues with it for the past two weeks. Usually every couple of days it would take me about 5-10 minutes to get my key out of the lock or even turn it. However, I was trapped in my own apartment til I could call the office on Monday. Not that this is anything new. I've been sick, and confined because of it. Well, maintenance came and pulled the key out and then used graphite to lube up the lock, and now everything is gravy, baby. Now, I can come and go like a respectable human being. ...and then dinosaurs stabbed the guy sitting next to me.

In other news, I'm going to try to find the last parts to my halloweenie costume today. Wish me luck! *fingers crossed* You'll see pictures soon enough.

Belated Muzak Monday!

I see I forgot to post yesterday. Anywhoozle, to make up for it I've posted a song today. I pulled out an great classic for late Monday's Muzak, "Debaser" by The Pixies. I happened to play this one last night on teh Rock Band 2, and we rocked out!

Also, last night Molly and I carved pumpkins. Look forward to some pics of THE BEST PUMPKINS IN THE WORLD!

That's it for today. It's boring here. I just glanced over at my virtual Vista sticky note and it says "BOOORING!". That about sums it up. Ha Ha Ha HOOO!

Fabled Zombie Schnitzel

So, it just occured to me that I forgot to post a photo on Friday. My bad. It's been a rush of a weekend around here. It must have just slipped my mind. Well, I'm going to do it now. Get ready! Get set!
Bam! Ok, so as I mentioned before I've been lost in Albion for quite some time now. So, ther other day brother Bryan and I were playing, and he had me kill his wife. Then child services came and put his baby in an orphanage. However, for some odd reason or another the baby crib that was in his house just appeared floating in the sky on my screen, but not on his. I realize the quality of this is pretty shotty. I rushed it, lay off.

In other amazing news, everyone's favorite table-top zombie survival game, Zombies!!! is coming to Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and Steam next year. I don't know how many times we've played Zombies!!! and I've brought up just how cool, and easy it would be to make this an XBLA title.

So, the German Banquet in Pawnee last night was amazing! They are doing it again in December, and I'm going back. P.S. I furkin' love Schnitzel! If anyone is interested it's held at the Coalminer's Hideaway, and they will start taking reservations on December 1st.

Home for the Hollandaise

Is there such a thing as a good Perkin's? I don't think so. Instead, I'm going to be forced to make my own eggs benedict at home.

Wedding drunks, sauerkraut, morality, and music

A few things to mention.

1) I'm heading to Matthew McConkey & Andrea Peck's wedding reception tonight. I'm going to be dancing drunk, and then pass out in a hotel room. w00t w00t

2) Tomorrow I'm heading to a German banquet in Pawnee with the family

3) In the meantime I'll be in Albion

4) December 17th @ The Pageant. The Faint. Let me say that again... THE FAINT! Tickets $17 (22.50 after fees) You can expect me to be there. Anyone want to ride along?

5) "Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams" trailer has been released. See it here.

Lost in Albion

It's late, and I'm feeling better. I would have posted earlier, but I've been wrapped up in Fable 2. I've been sick for the last couple of days so I haven't been able to play. I actually put those days aside to play, but now that I'm better I dedicated all of today to take in as much as I can. Boy have I been doing just that. Just call me couch fatass. I've been in my jammies ALL DAY playing Fable 2.

*pops back*

Ok, so it's not the greatest RPG ever made like Peter Molyneux claimed (like he always claims). It's pretty good though. Not great. Let me emphasis that, not great, but a solid good. If you're looking for a big pretty action-adventure RPG fantasy world to run around in then this is your game. I have a few problems with it, which I will state now. However, everything else about this game is gravy.

1) Multi-player. It's co-op, that's cool. However, one can't bring their custom characters into a game. Only two people per game.; one is the host, and the other joins. The joiner has to select from a stock of henchmen models, and can only bring in their abilities from their character. Lame. Why can't I bring in my custom character? Why? Oh, and during co-op the camera is fixed for both parties, and there is an invisible tether between the two. I could understand all of these hangups if I were playing split screen because the CPU couldn't process two worlds at the same time, but we have two machines here. What gives?

Ok, so that's about my biggest complaint. Sorry, I thought there were more. The co-op does allow for you to turn on orbs so that you can see orb representations of your friends or anyone playing fly around the world in real-time. When you get near an orb you can actually talk to them via headset. Which is cool. You don't see their model, but you see an orb. Eh. You can trade with orbs, or view their stats, or even hop into their game. All pretty cool, but could have been better. I'm seriously hoping that there will be a co-op patch down the line that will allow for everything I mentioned earlier.

Ok, back to more Fable 2! Peace out, paupers!

Lips on your Xbox

So, ever since I got my Xbox 360 I only keep my original Xbox around for Karaoke Party Revolution. Well, this November I may not have a reason to keep it around now that Lips is coming out for the Xbox 360. Peep this video.



The game, developed by iNiS (Elite Beat Agents, Gitaroo-Man) will allow you to upload your own music via Zune and I'm assuming Windows Media Player as well. The game will come with two shiny wireless mics, and if anyone is singing solo anyone can pick up the second mic, shake it, and instantly in mid-song two player duet mode is activated. Also, the game has a very lenient grading scale. So, anyone that wants to sing, no matter how good or bad they consider themselves will feel prompted to do so without a harsh rating system breathing down their throat. Honestly, I'm a little more than excited about this. *glee*

I'm Back, Bitches!

That's right Blogger, the bitch is back! For any of you that have me on MySpace or Facebook you know I've been posting quite frequently. Well, I thought I would start posting those here as well. Try, and breath some life back into this dead horse, you know? That's it. Look forward to more. Oh yeah, I added a media player. Look forward to weekly updates. PEACE!

Ain't No Party Like A Black Friday Party

Hey gang, I'm leaving.

BYE!

Well, not yet, but soon; in like three hours. I'm going to OhiiiiiiiiiO to see Bogey. I'll be gone till Tuesday. Don't touch any of my stuff while I'm gone.

Before I go I would like to take this moment to inform everyone about a couple of events. Black Friday and the Rock Star party I'm having on that day. Black Friday is the Friday after thanksgiving in which everyone and their sister's whore of a wife goes out right after thanksgiving dinner on Thursday and camps outside of stores to get the best deals and fuel our economy. Best Buy always has the most horrendous lines. Speaking of which here's the Black Friday Sales Ad for Best Buy.

Anyway, to celebrate this day, and the release of Rock Band I'm going to be hosting a Party Like A Rock Star Party. We will have Rock Band set up in the living room, Karaoke Party Revolution in a bedroom, Guitar Hero 3 in a bedroom, and Guitar Hero 80's in a bedroom. Seeing as it's a rock star themed party we're asking everyone to dress like a rock star or dress like a particular rock star. Either or will satisfy my urge to be surrounded in surrealism. We intend on serving concert series libations; Bud Select, Rolling Rock, Miller Lite, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. It's going to rock. I made inviations. See.



Ok. I have to go prep for the trip. I'll catch you all on the flop side.

[angels and demons]

Well, gang I'm still fighting off the sickness. I'm starting to wonder if it's a sinus infection seeing as no one else around me has become sick. Today, I'm going to tell you about a couple of new shows on [adult swim].

Xavier: Renegade Angel...
is a CGI series from John Lee and Vernon Chatman. These two are also the ones behind Wonder Showzen. This show is CGI, but it looks as if someone created a game engine, and directed the show from within said game. The show revolves around a freakish walking bird biped with knees that bend backwards. He's goal in life is to seek out truth behind his existence. Along the way he meets some friends in Connecticut and infects them with a computer virus! Yay! Watch as he scrambles to make things right, and not just become another chomsky honk.

Watch Xavier: Renegade Angel at [adult swim]

Stiff...
is the highly anticipated new live-action romantic horroromedy from co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and creator 12. Oz Mouse, Matt Maiellaro. How can I sum up Stiff? Well, imagine if a live-action horror took an anime from behind. The spawn from that horrible scene would be Stiff. A show that pays homage to all the great horrors out there, mainly Evil Dead, and satisfies our bloodlust all while making us laugh.
The show revolves around an Ash'esque character who escaped from Hell, and is now accompanied by a kung-fu fighting angel. They pay the rent by freelancing their services as badasses that destroy demons and the ilk. Watch it, and love it.

Watch Stiff at [adult swim] or below!

There Must Be Some Kind Of Way Out Of Here

Dear 11/6/07,

Why do you hate me so much?

Today I woke up thinking I'm going to be better today. For those that don't know I've been sick all week. I've been recovering from Strep since last Wednesday. However, I woke coughing. Coughing hard. The headache inducive coughs, you know? Well, after nearly coughing my brains out for 2 hours I came to the fact that I've been laying around on my ass for far too long. However, I did catch up on Battlestar Galactica. The finale of season three was almost worth being sick. So, I decided that I was going to get some stuff done today.

1. Finish art project.
I'm behind on my art project, that was due on Monday which I didn't go. My teacher says I need a background to tie the two elements in the painting together, and for the life of me I still haven't thought of a plausible background. G'eh.

2. Deposit check.
This involved leaving the house, and I hate going places when I'm sick.

3. Register for classes.
I hate everything about doing this; advisors that don't know shit, and hours and hours of waiting to talk to them for 10 minutes.

Ok. Go!

I woke up, showered, and decided to get registered for classes. I'm only 4 classes away from my associate's then I can concentrate on getting the hell out of this town. The only problem is Physics has a pre-requisite, which has a pre-requisite. Ugh. So, 4 classes has to be stretched over 3 semesters. So, I go to college, only to discover that the road is closed and I have to take a 10 minute detour. Once I get there my coughing has subsided, which is nice. Then I go to speak with an adviser in hopes of cleaning up my transcript and upping my GPA, which I did. 2.75! w00t! So, I sign up to speak an adviser, and about 2 hours later I get to talk to one. The waiting wasn't that bad for I got to talk to Meghan, whom I haven't seen in a coon's age. I got my classes squared away, and the registration worksheet filled out. Chemistry 101 and College Algebra here I come! So, I walk over to registration, ready to leave this forsakened hell hole, only to be told that I need the adviser to sign a waiver to entitle me to take CHE 101. Which is bullshit, because I had previously taken the class, but had to drop out for personal reasons. Why now do I need a waiver. Apparently, someone thought that anyone taking CHE 101 is required to take 100 sometime after I attempted CHE 101. Grrr. So, I go back to the adviser wait chamber of eternity, and 45 minutes into my wait, I'm informed by a ditsy and lumpy secretary that the adviser I spoke with earlier has now gone to a meeting, and then will go to lunch. So, I tell her to set me up with the next available adviser. She does, and 45 minutes later I finally speak with the god-fearing black pride activist. I'm tired, I'm sick, and now I'm surrounded with thousands of printed out passages of the bible that have been taped to every free space in her office. I explain the situation to her, and she questions it, like I knew she would. Then she leaves for 10 minutes. I think she did this so that I would have to sit alone with all her theological passages could have their time to beat some righteous sense into me. I wouldn't have it though. God no! I chuckled at her printout of an acronym for PUSH, Pray Until Something Happens. Then I started fiddling with my phone till she arrived. When she got back she said everything was good to go. So, I thank her, and left. After that registration went smoothly, and I left the campus to go home and start working on my art project.

As I left I remembered the construction, and slyly thought of a detour that should bypass it all. Only it turns out that my detour had a detour of it's own. Three and half hours of waiting and detours out the ass only drove me to Taco Bell. Where I got my Menu favorite, a Baja Chicken Chalupa, and a crunchwrap supreme. Then I went home, ate it, and watched an episode of Lost. However, before that I stopped and picked up some decongestant and cough syrup at the CVS. Delsym rules! Then I took my medicine, ate Taco Bell, and watched Lost. After that, I ended up taking a nap, and I slept much longer than I wanted. Now here I am. I'm shaking off my sleep with this poorly written post and I'm about to spend the next 5 hours working on my art project.

I got my check deposited before the school mess.

I really don't have much to say, so check out the MANtage. Props to Greg Klein for exposing me to it.

Bollywood + Buffalax = Hilarity

I love Bollywood more and more as the days go by. Check out this interpretation of the words to one of the greatest music videos ever made.

Today...

I struggled through my recovery of Strep throat, posted pictures @ MySpace, made comments on Facebook, and did math and art homework.

I also just got done reading about the discovery of two black holes in one galaxy, and how they will eventually merge creating devastation. Watch the pretty video here! Read more here! Look at the picture below!
