The Floor-sugar Does Taste Rather Queer in This Area

It has finally happened! Head on over to witness David Firth's newest addition to the Salad Fingers series. It is quite enjoyable, as are all of the Salad Fingers series.

Well, that's it for the blog tonight. I didn't have much to say, but I just had to break the news on the new episode.

"And I wish I knew the things you think I do
I would change this world for sure
But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel
Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm real"

The extreme link to of past 64 DS II: Cut director

After the person... directly that us being able to give extreme Nintendo, almost they are 15 years. And as for something 10 years for Nintendo 64! You like? The person... I have remembered my first glance of extreme Nintendo of JC Penney at bell air shopping center. The boy of Hoo. We bought our extreme Nintendo at optional night Wal*Mart. Only I having remembered after buying that, it sat down in the MacDonald private road and I who look at that the extreme world of て and Mario is included the excess had almost soaked by my! It can ride in Yoshi me, you were surprised completely with thought. As for Heh... as for the scratching saw which is struck from the item box where is based on some half of the memory box where Nintendo I am quickest in order to come out, when the wife of my uncle and that Belgium taught to me, was. And that me is attached by all my lives! Hmmm... memory of the beginning of my first Sega? Perhaps Babbage) from you bought that, (once more... I think) whether as for my father... the boutique of electronic engineering from the mall of the cherry tree (. I have remembered that you observe at that in order to obtain under the beginning box of Sega the worker rises vividly with the shelf. As for obtaining obtaining Ohhh... then me all of the cash which I can summon the sound wave from Aldi and in order to buy the joint of the finger to be that time which throws away the small bit together there. And this post, the finish with respect to Nintendo 64 day of thing which is received. ... Several Christmases... year. I have presumed 1996. I received new TV from my grandmother and Nintendo 64. Spasm well and the large container. Being surprised, I (me... how oh am high in Mario 64 which whether it came) striking the fact that the repair person of TV when demagnetizes our televisions the recall is done and Waverace 64, at the time of the ampere. And next shadow of empire. There was a war game of the large star. It is wampa or the cord/code which operates the 隼 of Millenium rising narrowly in my finger. It was good, that a little was the memory lane pleasure of amusement! At the time of the ampere, it is and... that is 19 years whose gambling is directly splendid (or so)! Here there are many many!

END OF ENGRISH!

Phew. Sound familiar? I decided to run the January 17th post through a Japanese translator, and then back through an English one. My...great fun! Well, have a good weekend all. Sorry about the lazy post, but I'm....lazy. BWAHAHAHA!!!

"He'll be fine once the world stops spinning..."
"Oh. Is that gonna happen, too?"

The Speed Force, Ted...it's gone.

Whoa. I just read DC's Infinite Crisis #4 earlier today. Just...whoa.




*SPOILERS*






Alright, now that THAT'S taken care of. Holy crap! This comic had a bunch of truly awesome moments. For some reason, when the reinforcements come to help out Superboy just struck me as amazing. Seeing three teams at once (Gar called on the Doom Patrol and Bart rounded up the JSA) just to help defend Superboy really symbolized exactly what the superteams USED to be like. More of a family thing, I suppose. Another really cool moment was seeing Krypto attack Superboy Prime and defending Superboy.

The final, awesome moment was the highlight of the entire book. Yep, we got to see good ol' Barry, Max Mercury, and Johnny Quick. Unfortunately, they didn't come to just chat...they put their all into helping Wally, Bart, and Jay push Superboy Prime into the Speed Force...ultimately, only Jay remained. Hmmm...seems like kind of a really quick death for such well-developed characters. Sure, I preferred Impulse to Kid Flash...but I hate to see the character go! Well, just about anything can happen in the upcoming One Year Later! If Identity Crisis, the Countdown(s) to Infinite Crisis, and Infinite Crisis are any indication of what's coming up, I have a feeling DC is going to have quite an exciting year!

Oh, another side note! I got to read the new Day of Vengeance special. One of my ol' favorites is back - that's right, the angel Zauriel! It's been too long, buddy! You can't go wrong with a Heavenly Host, a talking ape detective, and a cynical ol' dead guy. Highly recommended.

Phew. Well, this post was for all you comic geeks that read my blog. All...0-ish of them. And now for the video game geeks (of which there are considerably more). Animal Crossing: Wild World. Now, I didn't feel QUITE the same magical spark I got from the first AC, but it was close. Some game feelings you just never get again...those moments are few and far between. Good times are upon us. A new keyboard from Apple is in my future. As is an HDTV at my house (in other words, an older big-screen TV for MY room! MUAHAHAHA!).

Well, I just ran out of steam in this here post. So, that's all for now.
Saving Game...please do not remove power...saving...


You may now exit the blog. Loser.

This is the Ultimate Showdown...

First off, head here. A lovely little video (the mp3 is available, too).

Today is...blah. It seemed like it went by really fast, and yet it seemed so long. I don't really know how THAT one works out. Perhaps the walls of Hypertime are breaking down? Gah, such a geek. Things have been odd here since my first week back. I feel so out of it most of the time. Everything's sort of a blur, I just sort of exist, and I don't really spend time productively. At least, I don't think I do. I've been spending a bunch of time reading Wikipedia articles on whatever comes to mind (mainly video game topics and comic book-related readings).

Ah, last weekend. I nearly forgot to mention that. Friday was formal, and I took Jen out to New Japan before heading to the dance. GAH! The dance...though we had a good time, it seems all the DJ wanted to play was rap. And then some rap. Then some MORE rap, and finally...some...other nonsense. Only one slow song the entire dance. Regardless, we were able to hang out with Tyler and his Betty, which proved to be quite the grand experience!

Ah, update on the keyboard incident. I visited the Apple Store (a.k.a. Heaven) and asked about my keyboard. Wouldn't you know it? They offered to completely replace the thing! Unfortunately, they had none to trade so I have to trek back to Keystone. I'm not complaining, though! A free replacement! I finally got to handle the Mighty Mouse, and I must say that I now feel like I need to have one. At first, I wasn't too impressed but when you actually USE it, you realize it's quite a nice little mouse. A tad pricey at $49 (which is the one thing deterring me from buying it), but a nice little gadget.

I think I may have something else to impart to you, dear readers...but I'm sure it will come back. I'm thinking it was comic related. Well, we shall see.

The Force will be with you...always.

Boku no Idiocy

GRARGH! Why do I let stupid things happen? Last night you were all about to get a tribute to the King of All Cosmos...but no...I somehow let my cup of ramen tip and drop a MINISCULE amount of liquid onto my Apple Wireless Keyboard. It barely covered the arrow key region. Anyway, it began to go crazy...so I decided to clean it by removing the keys and wiping whatever was left. UNFORTUNATELY, after making it all spiffy clean, it decided to stop working. The Bluetooth receiver in the iMac registers that I do, in fact, have a keyboard there. Alas, it defies me by not pairing. I reset the keyboard and tried to pair the two in holy matrimony, but no...the little LED light comes on, but then begins blinking. I don't get this...the computer SAYS there's a keyboard there - but it LIES TO ME! ARGH!

Ah well...after half a day of using an onscreen keyboard (not recommended for IMs, by the way), m'buddy Amber loaned me her wireless. It seems I must soon go on a journey to Keystone and seek repair or possibly another keyboard.

DAMN YOU FRAIL OLD MAN HANDS THAT CAN'T HOLD ONTO A RAMEN CUP!
And thank you, Amber.

Super Link to the Past 64 DS II: Director's Cut

Man...it's been nearly 15 years since we were graced with the Super Nintendo. And something like 10 years for the Nintendo 64!? Man...I remember my first glimpse of a Super Nintendo in the JC Penney's over in the Bel Air Shopping Center. Hoo boy. We bought our Super Nintendo some random night at Wal*Mart. The only thing I remember is sitting in the McDonald's driveway after buying it, and I was nearly wetting myself over seeing that it included Super Mario World! I was completely amazed at the idea of being able to ride Yoshi. Heh...my earliest memory of Nintendo was when my uncle and his Belgian wife taught me that mushrooms come out of the item box based on which half of the box is struck. And that's stuck with me through all my life!

Hmmm...my first Sega Genesis memory? My dad bought it from...Electronics Boutique (or maybe Babbage's) from the Cherry Tree mall (once again...I think). I vividly remember seeing the worker climb up on a shelf to get down the Sega Genesis box. Ohhh yeah...and then there's that time I scrapped together every little bit of cash I could muster in order to buy Sonic and Knuckles from Aldi's.

And finishing up this post, the Nintendo 64 day of receiving. Christmas of...some...year. I'm guessing 1996. I received a new TV from my grandmother and the Nintendo 64. Oh, and a big container of jerky. Ah, how amazed I was at Waverace 64...and Mario 64 (which I recall beating when a TV repairman came to demagnetize our television). And then Shadows of the Empire. THERE was a great Star Wars game. Even IF the code to be a wampa or pilot the Millenium Falcon made my fingers cramped up.

Well, that was a fun little romp down memory lane! Ah, yes...it's been a great 19 years (or so) of gaming! Here's to many many more!

28:06:42:12

The 3-Day weekend has come to an end. Overall, a nice one. Of course it would have ended with a better flavor in my mouth if I didn't have to return to Ball State. Meh, whatever. Coming home Friday was a tough little task, as I really wasn't sure of my ride situation. However, I did make it home and then...to an Ataris concert!? WHA!? Yeah, I went to accompany Jason. It was actually quite a nice little adventure to Carmel, rife with Steak and Shake and Emo kids.

I was happy to find that my Satellite 4-in-1 Cartridge and S-Video cables came for the Sega Saturn meaning that the joys of Sonic Jam were in my grasp! And what a joy it is! Well...not AMAZING. But now with the 4-in-1 I AM able to save games for once. Mmm...NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon...Saturn, I love you! I love you AND your younger brother Dreamcast.

Saturday, I finally got around to watching Donnie Darko. Oh my goodness...I think if you were to soak your brain in acid and then place it in a paint mixer, you'd have an idea of what this film is like. Gay cowboy Jake Gyllenhaal is GREAT as Donnie, mixing a nice little soup of innocence, charm, and EVIL! If you don't nearly wet yourself when he does his little creepy smile, you are not human.

I'm not entirely sure if watching the movie was healthy for me, as it really disturbed me. I mean, really disturbed me. I found myself feeling quite odd afterwards. You see, last school year I had this dream. In it, I was in a large room that reminded me a bit of Rays Crossing church. Anyway, I was gathering with quite a few people (I particularly remember Devon Hubbs being there). We were watching outside as the sky sort of split and a large black cloud came down blanketing the Earth. Then, I promptly died. Unlike most dreams in which I die, I stayed asleep and I proceeded to Heaven. I didn't immediately go because, as I'm sure is actually the case, I had to wait for Heaven to load. That's right, Heaven was LOADING! I then proceeded to Heaven's menu screen and then I woke up coughing and choking on a mix of vomit and pretty heavy stomach acid. Needless to say, I was pretty disturbed about the whole thing. I was SO happy in my dream that I was going to Heaven, that I was disappointed to wake up. I wasn't wishing for death, but the absolute euphoria that came as a result to ascending to Heaven was just amazing...I've never really felt a feeling quite like it while awake.

SPOILERS FOR DONNIE DARKO...BUT NOT REALLY












Two things from the movie in particular disturbed me. One - the "end of the world" was portrayed as the sky splitting and...a black cloud coming down! CREEPY! I hadn't even seen the movie. Another thing - in the movie's final scenes, "Mad World" by Tears for Fears plays and there's a certain point in the song that goes "I find it kind of funny/I find it kind of sad/the dreams in which I'm dying/are the best I've ever had". Hmmm....sound familiar? Hoo boy. Certain little scenes stick out and really scraped at me emotionally and mentally. Watching a hypnotized Donnie clutch at a stuffed dog for comfort, for some reason, nearly made me burst out into tears. Who knows? This movie was great, but be warned! I could easily see this movie (and its website) driving some people crazy.

Well, 4 days until formal with Jennifer! Let's hope I don't snap and eat some faces before then.

Aoi Pepsi!

What a dark and depressing post...hmm....no matter.

As I type this, my Gmail inbox is refusing to open. CURSE YOU! Oh wait...there it goes. No new mail, anyway. Speaking of cursing, who's brilliant idea was it to have a calculus class from 6:30-7:45 at night? And who's the genius who made that the ONLY possible calculus class I can get into? Grrr...and it WAS on the 4th floor, but that's been moved, thank heavens.

Today is a good day. Today is the day that I began work on the transfer application process to IUPUI. Mmm...I can't wait to get out of here and out to IUPUI doing what I REALLY want to do. The deal is made much sweeter when I think that I'll be ever closer to my Pecan Pie.

I was reminded of a lost love today. Its name...was Pepsi Blue. Oh, how I loved the sickeningly sweet fruity/cola taste of this elixir. If only Pepsi hadn't canned...hehe..."canned" this wonderful drink. I hear rumors that in Mexico and Puerto Rico, Pepsi Blue is still sold! If any of you readers are from around those parts, I'd be willing to make some deals! Mmm...Pepsi Blue. Some go south for cheap perfume, alcohol, or altered Coca-Cola. Me? I want to just pick up some Pepsi Blue.

Well, that's about it for now. OH! I nearly forgot. A new remix project was recently made available via OC Remix. It's called Chrono Symphonic, and seems to be an orchestral arrangement of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. It's laid out much like a movie soundtrack. I've only listened to a few tracks so far, and I can tell you it's worth the umm...free download. If you're a fan of the work of Yasunori Mitsuda or Nobuo Uematsu (or you just really appreciate nice compositions) check this out!

Now, that's REALLY it for now.

iSad

I've heard the cries of the sad readers, and now...the Kingdom of Fuman has awakened from the holiday slumber! Christmas went well. I got my Sega Saturn and have since (by way of used videogame stores and the Internets) amassed a few games such as Myst, Mr. Bones, Panzer Dragoon, Sonic Jam, and NiGHTs. Of course, I can't play Sonic Jam until I get my 4-in-1 cartridge to allow my Saturn to play Japanese games. Oh, and the internal memory is screwed up meaning I can't save my games. Until I get the 4-in-1 that is...I hope. I also received some DS games such as Sonic Rush, Mario Kart, and Mario and Luigi. All very nice games, though Sonic Rush is certainly odd.

Well, the Macworld Expo is going on. I've yet to hear any amazing news about the iPod that was rumored (though they have released an FM tuner for the iPod - nifty, I suppose). In the computer world, however, some good announcements. As rumored, Steve Jobs unveiled the first Macs to use Intel-based processors. There's a brand-spankin' new iMac G5 which promises twice the power of the previous G5's with the Intel Core Duo chip. I'm very content with my current iMac, but I wouldn't mind getting one of these! In a related announcement, Apple has released the MacBook Pro which promises 4x the speed of previous notebooks. Couple that with the addition of iLife '06 and a built-in iSight and you have have a nice little notebook.

What else...? Ah, watching Bill O'Reilly get bashed on David Letterman certainly made me feel good inside.

Coming back to school has not been enjoyable at all. I don't know why I ever agreed to stay for another semester. I feel incredibly down and have seriously considered suicide. Perhaps the only thing that keeps me from heading down that path is that I know I have to live and see Jennifer again. I think about death and dying almost constantly. Not even videogames or music seem to calm me down. At the beginning of last semester, I claimed many reasons for not liking it here such as not fitting in, being surrounded by crap I didn't want to be around, and such. That's still true, but more than ever I feel incredible pain from not seeing Jen.

The first night, I didn't sleep well. My heart kept beating so fast, I was in a cold sweat, I had a ton of acid in my stomach and such...it was like some sort of panic attack without being panicked about a damn thing. I absolutely hate being here, and this time I feel like I might just do something about it. If you're cold, you put on a sweater. If you're hungry, you eat. So, if I'm in a place I'm not supposed to be in, that I don't want to be in, and feel incredible pain being here why shouldn't I leave? It doesn't make sense to go through all this crap when I know it's not worth anything. I hate people trying to shoot down that point by saying how important it is to get a degree. I'm not abandoning college! I'm going to IUPUI!

I've been scaring myself for the past month or so...heck, longer than that. In the past month, though, I've had some truly scary thoughts...I can say with at least 98% certainty that I am psychologically unhealthy. I can't talk to my mom about it. I don't know why I can't just come out and say exactly what's wrong with me, I just gum up when I try to. I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I hope I get things settled before I do something I really regret.

Phew...sorry about the sudden downturn. I've just not been well. Hope you had a nice break, everyone.
