The Wii comes out in November. As such, so does the Wii version of Twilight Princess. The GameCube version comes out at some unannounced point in December? Vaguely annoyed, although I shouldn't be. Not like they owe anything.

Also, getting (hopefully) two RPGs in October and a third in November. And two of them are Final Fantasies. With customization yay! so. uh. I'll probably be busy well past whenever the hell they release the Zelda for the Cuber. Cuber Tuber.




...They should make a video game console (or handheld) called the Potato. Just sayin'.


Want to watch Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny. However, would cost a lot to acquire. Damnit.


Still need to clean out icons. meh.

FOUND CD. Judging from the state in which I found it, apparently I had found it earlier and forgot about it. hooray y/n?

Music-related, lately have heard strange instances of rather geeky songs being played as background music in nonfiction shows. First was the opening bit of Oogie Boogie's Song in a show about what the universe is composed of, the second was the Dark World overworld theme from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in... I dunno, some sort of crime show, I think it was, except I keep thinking it was on the History Channel, which doesn't do crime shows. I think. Anyway.

Getting mildly better at driving the truck. Actually have started driving on the road for short distances and going ~15-20 MPH. yay! My ability to drive the lawnmower seems to be failing, though. I blame the love bugs. They fly right at your fucking face. Are they carnivorous? Or are they like ReDead from LoZ and try to kill you by going "yarr yarr hump hump" until now you dead from perv. MYSTERY. they had nothing to do with me forgetting to hold onto my CD player when starting the lawnmower, resulting in it falling off to the side onto the ground, though. that was pure, shining personal dumbassery that I really should not be admitting to. whups.

Considering most of my entries are "raar! mah anger problems go boom!" or "*geekgeekgeekgeek*" (and most of my comments are "PLEASE EXPLAIN IN SMALL WORDS" or "hurr i m tardery" or apologizing for one of the previous), I sure have a fuck of a lot of sad icons. I tried to do that "explain every something-odd (seventh, tenth, whatever) icon that you possess" meme, but most of them weren't very different from each other so I gave up. Should probably go through and delete a lot of them when I'm feeling less lazy. This may take a while.

Love this song. SO MUCH. Oh, Prince of Egypt soundtrack, I missed you so. Now I just need to find my Nickelback CD. I just got that thing last Christmas, I like the songs, I CAN'T LOSE IT YET. *flail*


Mother just deposited a number of cleaning supplies onto my bed. I think she's trying to hint at something. MYSTERY.


Been studying patterns in RPG "archetypes" lately. ...'cause apparently I have nothing better to do. ignore the planning stages of a novel idea in the corner, it whispers lies and feasts on the flesh of babes ...Nothing to really say there. But I think I need a better hobby.


*gets around the cleaning. ...sort of*

( ...so. yeah. I can't color. )

So ignore the coloring job in favor of boggling at the sparkles.


...really, you should probably ignore the drawing, too. Just... go "..." at at the sparkles. Yes.

...Hi.

*tries to listen to music on computer*

speakers: lol :D :D :D *stop working, make irritating crackling noises instead*


MY ABILITY TO LISTEN TO A VARIETY OF MUSIC IS HAMPERED GREATLY. FUCKITALL. BITCHES. ARRGH.

*grouchgrouchgrouchgrouchgrouch*

okay, nevermind, it's just one speaker that doesn't work. ...the one with the controls on it. *growlsnap*

Also, dear LJ: please stop pretending I'm posting my posts several hours into the future. Thank you.

EDIT: THIS JUST IN: I COMPLAIN A LOT.

Please feel free to give me grievous bodily harm. Or something. Anyway.

...hi.

Has anyone else's cat ever gotten their teeth stuck in their collar, or is my cat just "special" in this regard?

LJ has new, Vox-esque themes. Huh.

Trying to limit online time. So. Anyway.

Hi.

EDIT:

An even better idea than Snakes on a Plane!

Sometimes my computer is annoying. If I ever get another computer, I'm naming that one after someone/something/whatever not dead. >| This one seems to like trying to pretend to be its namesake.

In other news, watched the Silent Hill movie yesterday. ...kinda confused. Anyway.


Hi.

Fun: singing/humming along badly with Aerith's Theme

Less fun: getting a throatache from singing/humming along badly with Aerith's Theme

Still want practically every official version ever made of this song, though. And if they've never made a guitar instrumental sort of thing of it, there is something deeply wrong, 'cause that'd be great. ...Yes.

( reminder to self )

Need a name for a fictional world. Meh. *thinkthinkthink* May use a star name or something just because I'm aggressively stupid. ...Yes.

*slight headache*

From the description of ME-tan on Wikipedia:

"ME-tan is a hard worker and always wants to help her master (Toshiaki), but predictably fails at everything she tries to do, and often literally crashing and irritating her sisters. When she is not frozen or out of control, she tends to do things showing a lack of common sense or knowledge, such as putting soda into a microwave oven or attempting to kill people by swinging a scallion (see here)."


I am my operating system, at least personality-wise. CUE DRAMATIC MUSIC.

...I know I shouldn't complain, but there's something kind of simultaneously funny and annoying about checking deviantArt and finding that I have 27 favorites and only 2 comments.


unrelated:
( I need to keep a master list of these, or something )

*wander*

so glad I stopped reading.


...Fai can go die in a fire. *cranky*


I think I'm just going to have to give up on CLAMP in general. I might finish collecting the CCS manga someday, and maybe will get at least one more volume of XXXholic, but...


...I don't do anything but complain, lately, don't I? *laugh* Well, uh.

Hey, look! Lots of pretty FFX screencaps

re: latest Project Runway

( spoilers? )


Unrelated, computer being all ":33333333 *SLOW*". meh.

Family troubles. Mother is an idiot, father is displeased at my mother being an idiot. Same old same old, except now with more of my mother (unintentionally?) trying to kill us all by pouring bleach all over the floor to clean it.


*disgruntled* *also, throat is scratchy and I'm off-and-on kind of nauseous* *and my cat keeps trying to chew on my sketchbook and wanting to eat treats instead of his food*


...*grunt*

And before I forget, here's a tutorial to the coloring style I used on that last picture I posted, in case anyone's interested. I skipped a lot of steps, personally, because I suck like that. OH HOORAY(?).

( coloring practice )

Unrelated, watching Grizzly Man. That guy was kinda nuts. The part towards the end with the song still made me cry, though. *wimp*

PIRATES!

PIRATES OF THE CLIFFHANGERS!

*weep*

*practices coloring*

Also: you don't realize how bad you are at drawing until you try coloring something of yours, fail miserably, then try practicing on someone else's lineart and do half-decently if you squint. >D;;; Alas.

Also, coloring other people's stuff is just fun. It's like being little again, except now I don't have to worry about coloring inside the lines 'cause I've got TECHNOLOGY, BABY. ...Yes.

more lineart plz *colorcolorcolor*

Mean?

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

*picks up nearest book*

...

*it doesn't have a fifth sentence on page 123*

*and the fifth speech bubble is just "..."*



...Well, that didn't work so well.
