This will sound silly.
I don't mind critiques or suggestions to change things, really. I do, however, get annoyed with them after a bit. The first three or four, solicited or other wise, are fine. After that, it just rankles. I don't mean per session or per person. I mean per day. I don't know why.
I thing being told too often that I'm doing things wrong just makes me want to give up.
This is totally opposite from my sister.
She takes this as a sign that she needs to prove you wrong. That no matter how fucked up the path or the end, that she will be properly correct in all avenues of attack simply because you told her otherwise.
Me? I give up.
I roll over and die.
I learned early on that, for me, fighting and struggling against things doesn't get me jack shit half the time.
There's been very few things like this that I'll continue to persist no matter what.
The number one thing has been college.
The thing is, I don't know what this says about me.
In the end... I just prefer to think that I'm lazy and I hate effort rather than that I am a defeatist that's easily dissuaded.
Crazy, huh?
In other news...
Guy I'm horribly fond of... I showed him this. He said it reminded him of his life.
I asked him when the large breasted aliens would show up to recruit him to play rock and roll for their intergalactic space battle.
He said they'd been quiet lately after the incident at the bar.
Those wacky aliens.
(BTW ... anime is Black Heaven. Weird but nice. Op ! = series.) |

Things to entertain the bored and incredibly easy to amuse? Behold! My dominion!
Perhaps a pleasant drive through a Chernobyl ghost town?
Something rather depressing and yet horribly fascinating about abandoned suitcases in a nuthouse
Insane ass and somewhat creepy art (Katie, if you're looking, you wanna click this shit)
RACIAL SLUR DATABASE, YOU GODDAM BAK GUIY!
The dickery of Superman... and some other closeted homosexual jerks in spandex
Creepy fucking movie... Took me forever to find this one again
And now: Pointless side commentary!
Code Geass, an anime made specifically to sell shit to fangirls, fags, weeaboos, and fujoshi, seems to have this thing about making SUPER COMPLICATED or UNNECESSARILY REPETITIVE or vaguely HOMOEROTIC openings. This seems to escalate the longer the series drags on. The only exception seems to be eps 24/25 which aired seperate from either season and are just boring.
Season One, Opening One
(It must be noted that there's multiple versions of most openings for this series... goddam you, Sunrise)
Season One, Opening Two
(You can see it already. Same song. Same key points here and there... but totally different over all... DAMMIT)
Season One, Opening Three
(So, this one is just annoying. The editing sucks, making an already jarring song worse... ugh... but the next installment improves...)
Season One, Opening Four
(Call me a freak, but this... THIS is my favorite op. I like the edits, the timing, it works with the pace of the music, and the shot of the Black Knights at the end is pure win. Also nice shots of the mecha... particularly Kallen's Guren Mk-II <3 .... Fuck your Lancelot, Suzaku!)
Episodes 24&25
(Call me a freak, but this one just leaves me as unsatisfied as the INSANE cliffhanger at the end of 25... "SU ZA KUUUU!" "LE LOOOOUCH!" .... But it's pretty phoned in and minimal efforty and hasn't escalated in complexity. Feels like you could do it yourself almost with some stills and all the season 1 eps.)
Now for season two. These aren't clean, creditless ops like for season one, since season two is still airing, and the DVDs for the first part of the second season were JUST NOW made.
Season Two, Opening One
(Crappy quality is crappy.... Do you think they crammed enough shit in there?)
Season Two, Opening Two
(Annnnd... this brings us up to current. Just... my lord. SO MANY KNIGHTMARE FRAMES in this one... it's like Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, and Xenogears had a mecha orgy and this is what hatched)
And for something vaguely different?
Season two opening of Genshiken! Best Gundam Seed opening parody EVER ... especially when attached to an anime about, uhm, anime nerds.
(Mimic'd opening here )
Well.... I've sufficiently nerded the place up. |

I haven't posted anything in an eternity.
I suppose I have my own reasons for it, but I shan't go into them presently.
Hmm...
School is insane at the moment. All my registration stuff was messed up, and I'm having a hell of a time working out for classes next semester.
Work is fine, just tiring. CERTAIN PEOPLE who have never subscribed to a plan-o-gram suddenly decide to do so at a whim. What cheek.
It'll get better when the seasonal shoppers show up for calendars.
My sister is knocked up. It's completely awesome and I'm glad it's not me. I'd rather take the opportunity to fuck up her kids than to have to produce my own for the chance.
I'm totally stoked that some of my favorite books are getting a movie soon... I'm also thrilled that my company (Borders/Walden/Day By Day) is going to have exclusive merchandise, which will be great. As soon as we get the calendars and such in for it, I'm on it. I really like Nicole Kidman as Mrs Coulter. <3 (Oh, how I love Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' series. I've decided to reread them again today)
I'm struggling with French. I can most part read and listen to it, but I am wildly unsuccessful in writing it and speaking it. I'd kill for a random Francophone willing to work with me... y'know... other than my professor. Who's French. INCREDIBLY FRENCH (but a cool dude, swear).
Ah well.
Time for work.

sister was married without a hitch, and i didn't cry.
hopefully i'll be able to scan something of the picture sort soonish.
bachelorette party was rife with debauchery and titty bars...
and i drunk a total of:
(4) smirnoff ice
(2) buttery nipple
(1) kamakaze
(2) liquid cocaine
(1) long island iced tea
(2) amaretto sours
(2) rum and coke
(3) shots of rum
... i think that covers everything.
~~~~~~
lessons i am learning from 'project arms'
*never ever mess with
*to successfully kick ass, your heart should be like water
*if you are taken to a legendary psychic woman who is greatly revered and incredibly ancient, 9 out of 10 times she will be black
*combat cyborg units occur at -least- in sets of three
*keep the genius children around. if they don't help you, they will later automatically draw all gunfire in the area and you won't get hit
*chicks, be they telepaths or implanted with nano technology, will turn out to be not only more highly evolved than you, but more powerful in the end
*chicks will also manage to need rescuing a lot, even though they practically babysit you
*someone always has a long lost sibling
*if there's a desert storm vet around and he's in a bad mood, he's probably a cyborg
*cyborgs hate it when you yank their arms off and laugh
*old guys never die. they just get really mean
*a 'normal 9-to-5 salary worker' isn't a 'normal 9-to-5 salary worker' if he knows ninjitsu and likes pulling the arms off of cyborgs and then laughs while hanging out with old guys
*all sheriffs are inherently fat with reflective sunglasses
*if all else fails, start crying. something will happen to fix things
*if crying fails, start freaking out
*if you love the girl, for godsake, let her know -before- they start dropping bombs, mmmkay?
*always exploit your enemy's strengths, making them their weakness, but either way someone stronger will just come along and you're screwed irregaurdless
*the midwest is scary
*every city in the US has a new orleans style funeral
*beating children is okay, so long as you only hit them on the head
*churches are usually kill pits
.... hmmm... there will probably be a continuation... |

tonight we had a bride's maid's dinner. supposed to have been a luncheon, but we're retards.
irregaurdless... it was actually nigh psychotic.
ashley never showed up, so it was rachel, melissa, shea and i. rachel being my little sister and the bride, of course. anyway...
everything started out fine. weebled over to my grandparent's house (next door to the house in washington, look... my family needs a diagram to keep up with some of this stuff so don't worry a wit)
ANYWAY
with ashley not showing, we had an extra table spot. we dragged nick into eat with us... so there was us five dipshits at one end of the dining room table, and at the other end was my grandmother, melissa's mother jean, and my own mum... i should note that my grandmother booted my grandfather (sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelton) out of the house for a bit. ah well... my grandmother also can't hear a damned thing and tends to ramble on about... stuff she thinks you're talking about. even though you're not. she means well, really... *sniff*
right... so we're eating dinner, being idiots, and grandmother breaks out the prayer. this is bad. why is this bad?
BECAUSE SHE CRIES EVERY DAMN TIME
we could be having ham sandwhiches for lunch with chips, she'll pray and start crying. jeez... which is why big shelton usually mans the helm, but woe it was that the room was 95% estrogen.
from there we progress onto gleefully devouring ham, peas, corn pudding, potato salad, and cranberry salad with sprkling white grape juice and sweet iced tea on the side. being female, of course, there's a lot of chatter on all sides... but we suddenly fall silent, except for my grandmother, who at that moment says rather loudly:
"...she's the most beautiful woman i've ever laid eyes on!"
.....
i looked at melissa (who was trying not to choke) ... and i kinda lost it. everyone wanted to know if i was okay... and i nodded that i was fine and said i'd just kinda had a funny thought (yeah, the thought of my batshit nutty grandmother getting hot and bothered over some chick)
... oy.
rachel got all the bride's maids these really cute silver bracelets with silver heart tags we can have engraved...
she and nick have also gotten an apartment and are working on getting everything moved in. joyjoy.
blah... my week's pretty well planned.
tomorrow i run by the courthouse and then to washington to get my dress.
tuesday is the only day i work this week, sadly
wed is pretty blank so far
thurs i'm most likely heading to help set things up at the church in new bern that morning, and that night is the bachelorette party... which will mostly consist of sitting around my cousin's apartment getting hammered.
friday is the rehersal and then the rehersal dinner (thrown by nick's 'rents beth and peter)
saturday... getting the hair done and such and the wedding... oy vey...
hum... in other news...
my cousin jessica finally had her baby on saturday. a little girl weighing just over 7 pounds. jessica had a 15 minute labor, and named the poor munchkin emma rose...
ah well.... |
