| 8:37 am | I should probably just get Twitter at this point. "Genetic Screwdriver" is basically the best euphemism for "penis" ever. (From a deeply forgettable FPS game called "Alpha Prime". If you have the chance to play it, don't. Also, they were really using genetic screwdrivers. I guess to hold their genes together. With riboscrews.) |

| 5:43 am | Presented for your anime approval... Some very gorgeous backgrounds from a 1970s tennis anime. I'm serious. They're great looking. I miss this sort of look in anime, come to think of it. S'why I watch a lot of older stuff. Current Mood:  chipperCurrent Music: Caramell - Caramelldansen (Speedycake Remix) |

| 9:13 am | So obvious you just can't see it. As ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} orrin pointed out, A Night in the Lonesome October would make a freaking AWESOME board game.Somebody get on this. |

| 8:15 pm | Dream log. Dreamt that I was invited, as part of a contest, to come hang out in a haunted house with the Munsters, the Addams Family, and some washed up old horror stars. One of those "make it through the night, win $50,000" bits. Notable dream because -nothing exciting happened-. I rode there on my blimpcycle (a flying, hydrogen powered motorcycle), ate barbequed pork from a roadside stand, and spent the evening hanging out with Raoul Julia trying to figure out why he wasn't dead. Woke up before I got around to asking him. *scratch head* Yeah, I dunno on this one. Current Mood: relaxed |

| 6:49 pm | Those five minutes never come when you expect them. My Livejournal is now hit #1 on Google for "Princess Peacecraft". ... I don't really have anything to add to that. Except that maybe I'd find that prospect a lot more nerve-wracking if it were, y'know. 2000-2001 still. |

| 9:46 pm | Gundam Wing eps 1-2 - Summary ...I should really shut up? But this series has too much WEIRD to short on description. ( Jesus this is long. ) More to come shortly! |
| 3:26 am | Hey, what am I watching, anyway? People have asked what I'm watching/summarizing, anime-wise. I answer! Currently, we have six series on tap. Episodes for a night are chosen by rolling a d6 three times. Then we watch three episodes. And repeat, maybe. We are enormous nerds. ( The list. ) Now, on tap after these are done are the Suggested Shows. (Feel free to suggest some shows for me to watch, as always.) ( And the suggestions. ) |

| 8:11 pm | Gurren Lagann Eps 16-21 - Summary ( Finally. ) THERE. Now I can get back to actually WATCHING anime. Woohoo! |

| 5:48 pm | Breakfasts of Many Lands Okay. This is a question for my overseas readers. I recently had occasion, I forget why exactly, to picture an English breakfast. The mental image I got was something along the lines of: Sausages, eggs, fried bread, pancakes/waffles... and half a tomato. Now... I don't know if that half a tomato should be there. It keeps coming back to mind, because to -me- it's goddamn SURREAL. Sitting there where an orange or a grapefruit should be. Cut in half... not sliced up into individual slices! A half tomato. Is this -accurate-? I have no idea. I have no concept of where this image CAME from. So, I turn to you. What the hell am I thinking of, and are you eating it to start the morning? Current Mood:  contemplative |

| 2:02 pm | Avoidance. Lately, I'm feeling increasingly exhausted by and irrationally hateful of strong opinions. The more energetically a positive or negative opinion is expressed at me, or expressed in general, the more likely I am to groan and wander off in the opposite direction. This may be part of why I haven't written, say, the Gurren Lagann summary I've been sitting on. With that show, strong opinions are the -only- opinions, and I can't bring myself to put my own out there. I wonder if I'm just oversaturated. |

| 3:53 pm | Passing memory. Like a kidney stone. I remember one of my school science classes, where we had to take apart an owl pellet and put the skeletal remains of a mouse back together. Mine had only two legs and no head. The teacher dismissively claimed this was impossible, because owls -always- eat their prey whole, and I must have lost or broken or stolen the other bones for ... some reason. Just an irritation I decided to spit out, because it was bothering me. Hopefully harfing it up like this will get it the hell out of my head. |

| 7:30 pm | Update on the VGA cable thing, for the curious... Found the adapter on the floor, where it had fallen out of the box. Felt like a dumbass. Played with it a while after lunch. Sega Superstar Tennis demo. Rez HD. Space Giraffe. (beat my high score on that, stands at 60k something now.) The 360 is -gorgeous- on a monitor, in high-res, playing 2D shooters and brightly colored fun games. It's like the Dreamcast never went away. After the VGA cable for the Dreamcast, I was totally converted to VGAness for all games... but never got an adapter for the other consoles. Now I clearly see that I have been a jackass. |

| 8:21 pm | I amuse myself too much sometimes. Context: We bought a VGA cable for the Xbox 360, without realizing we'd need a certain kind of monitor for it... Woof: *huff* "Okay. Searching around behind here shows that you'll need a male to male adapter." Sqrl: "Gay adapter." Woof: "Then maybe we can get your monitor working with this. It might be male to female, but you don't have a port..." Sqrl: "Need gay adaptor for my minotaur." Woof: "...your monitor." Sqrl: "Transsexual gay minotaurs are required to play 360 with pretty graphics. I'll go hunting them online." Woof: "You're not actually listening, are you." Current Mood: chipper |

| 11:48 am | Woo! Remember that bit in the last entry about me getting static-bursted inside my head? Someone pointed me at a possible explanation. I officially love this term. I have the best life. Even my hideous flaws are AWESOME. Current Mood:  ditzy |

| 8:40 am | Ejecting from bed at speeds of ten thousand. Hopefully you all enjoyed the first annual "Get Rickrolled By Everyone on the Internet" day. Don't have a lot to say right now, just recording a moment of weirdness: This morning I woke up all at once thanks to what sounded like a burst of static in my head. As if someone had thrown a radio turned to max right behind me. Of course, it went away the moment I opened my eyes, so it was just a split-second of "KRRRSH" directly at the back of my skull. (Because I opened my eyes damnfast, let me tell you.) I don't think I have a brain tumor or a psychic friend or anything, just... Urgh. That was a shock. Neurology is weird. At least I'm awake! I have a few things I really need to write, but lately my heart's not been in writing at all... Ah well. Current Mood: cheerfulCurrent Music: Oingo Boingo - Grey Matter |

| 9:31 pm | Go find your smile. Hmm. After a bit of listening... Yes, what my music collection needed WAS an infusion of bright cheerful rock music. More 'Bowling for Soup' was the right choice. Now, to find something else along those lines... Current Mood:  sleepy |
| 7:14 am | That means you have huge guts! Dream log! Dreamt of playing a gauntlety dungeon-crawl clone of a video game. Lots of fun, all the features one could ever want, buggier than unpatched Daggerfall. Weird. But there's something to be said for any Gauntlet clone where the selectable characters are a huge hulking barbarian, a 1920s tommy-gun wielding gangster, a Pokemon trainer, and Cary Elwes playing The Bard. (From "The Bard's Tale". No, the remake.) |

| 2:31 pm | Harnessing the POWER of the INTERNET for memory's sake. Okay. Here's a weird one. When I was younger, I had a big book of adventure game walkthroughs I used to actually read for pleasure, because I was a maladjusted little tyke. These were written by "The Condor" or "The California Condor" as far as I can remember, but I've a nagging suspicion it was published under a "Something Magazine" banner. All written in-character, he'd occasionally take a paragraph or two to wax nostalgic about thrusting his beak into a pile of carcasses during a horror game walkthrough, or how he survived extinction by simply never going outside, or the like. They were... as far as I can remember, fairly hilarious, and were a big inspiration for my writing-about-games style. I'm about 90% certain it included a Phantom of the Opera game (the author made a big thing about how the Phantom didn't look so bad under the mask compared to him), the game Mindshadow (which is where the author's persona was from, Mindshadow had you typing HELP CONDOR for hints), and possibly the Kyrandia games. For YEARS I've been curious about: What the heck I was reading back then? Where can I get it back? Did he do anything else? I got the impression that he was used to writing this persona for a magazine article series or somesuch. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Current Mood: hopeful |
