In other news, that need their own post

My sister's (Former-ish) best friend came back into town not too long ago and has been bubbling some stress into our lives like a vile stench rising from a pocket of rotting matter at the bottom of a bog. Just today that friend: Got in a big fight with her father, left that house in a huff, revealed that she is a heroin junkie, left a bunch of probably used needles all over her dad's house, and has just caused my sister to start breaking down and crying.

Whoo.

In other news: Krysis still "Can't Get In Touch" with his friend vinnie who has my goddamned money in his bank account. If I don't get paid by this friday, I may have to confer with a lawyer to see what my options are.

Again Whoo.

I'm loving FF7 Crisis Core

Yes, I know it's several months old and I shouldn't wax poetic about it, so I'm not going to. I will simply state the following:
1) Mechanics can be a little strange but are solid throughout.
2) The mission system seems a little haphazard in how it assigns the difficulty, as I had an easier time with some Hard missions than I did with some of the Normal ones.
3) The lack of different weapons seems a bit hampering but isn't really that bad
4) the "DMW" system doesn't make any damned sense.

But it's fun enough that I have a hard time putting it down so I can go to sleep, which is not something I can say about every game, not even every JRPG in all fairness.

Overall Score: 7/10
It's a bit funky, sets up the main game pretty well and fills a hole that is rpg shaped with some pretty graphics.

gin and sprite

a combination for the ages. and now, bed.

The encoder did work

Meaning I can convert movies to play on the PSP with minimal effort, it just takes time and ties up system resources. This means that the best time to do it is while I am at work.

I am constantly tired

all day,almost every day I am exhausted. naps good.

Also, I am testing a file converter for videos on the psp, so hope that works.

I can Has psp

I got one today, sold my DS to do it, butI wasn't playing my DS so it was ok.

Tomorrow night, steaks...

I'm feeling a smidge uppity, and on friday night it's gonna be steak night. It's a bitter emotional need that I will sate by visiting the "Outback Steakhouse" on 82nd in clackamas, it's going to be on the late side, but anybody who is interested is welcome to join us.

On another note: My puppy got clipped by a car today on harold street. She is reasonably unharmed, but it was one of the most gut-wrenchingly scary things I have ever experienced.

gummi bears, fruit snacks and the smell of vomit...

It's not what you think, I didn't throw up (tempting as it is as a method to get out of work). I just remembered that when you eat a lot of gummi type stuff, your hands get that faint and milky vomit odor about them. That's all.

rage and nothing interesting

I am full of the anger and the nothing to say today. Other than Zoom was an awfulf movie with way too much smash mouth.

weekend is here!

Huzzah I say! It brings with a feeling of ease and potential relaxation. I don't want to go out more that necessary and sleeping in is a definite must.

On a completely unrelated note: I just thought of a roleplaying experience from when I was just starting. I was playing with my friend ricky, and some older friends of his. One of the players was playing a cleric who had an prochronism (that is acting in the fashion of a time that has not yet occured, the inverse of anachronism). She would not provide healing or ressurection spells for anybody who was dead for more than 5 minutes, because they were brain dead. This bothers me intensely because that is something we weren't even sure about how long it took until the last couple of centuries. How would a holy person, in a low tech, high fantasy setting have any conception of this at all? It's like a victorian gentleman not using a coal burning steam engine because gas/electric hybrids are more efficient.

I'm not sure why I thought of that now, after all these years.

I'm feeling sick too much...

I thinks it's work related, but it may just be general stress induced problems. I think some days when I am sick it is not that I am actually ill, but rather the stress getting to the point that my body makes me sick so I will take a day off of things. I need to not have this kind of stress in my life any more. I need to live with roomates who will be responsible and not leave me paying the vast majority of the bills. I need my father to stop weaseling out of paying a fair share for my sister while she lives with me.

I need all of these things and more. But those are a start. Less stress or I may not live to see the age of 30. Pathetically, in some ways, all I need to get rid of my stress is to be out of debt, not owing money to anyone or anything would do wonders for me. I don't even owe very much when it comes down to it, I have less than $5000 of outstanding debt, and that includes private debts to other people.

I need to blow off some steam really badly

I haven't been to the firing range recently. So I really want to take one of my days off to go and shoot. It's a whole lot of fun and will help me divert some of the aggression that I have been needlessly taking out on friends and coworkers. Anybody who wants to go with me, let me know and i'll try to work out a time that works for as many people as possible. I will let you know it's a little expensive, seeing as each time I've gone has cost me nearly $40, but that is with the cost of all the ammo and everything, so not that bad considering.

One of my roomates has moved out

and is probably going to stiff me for hundreds of dollars in past rent. I may have to take that fucker to small claims court.

I need a new job again

or to be independently wealthy, so that I never have to want for anything reasonable again. Maybe the stock market crash will kill some credit card debt or something.

A man can dream.

I don't think I'm going to work tomorrow

I don't feel well and I think I need a day to get less not good. Yeah... I said that.

so tired

gonna nap.

Nothing

There is no blog today, inspiration is not at hand

I will get enough sleep tonight...

And tomorrow I don't have to worry. Just have to get through my workday, and then I can come home and crash for a few hours before really starting my weekend. YAY!

rock band train a 'comin

just a few more bittersweet hours until it is in hand, the anticipation is palpable.

prepayed for rockband 2

That's right folks, sunday is the day. It's gonna be kicking rad #1

NEVAR FORRGET

Have a happy and glorious Reminder of International Tragedy Day!

I wish I had a burning twin towers cake and an Osama Bin Laden piñata, "Bin Laden" with stuff! We could play party games like "pin the blame on the loosely affiliated country" and sit around drinking punch and laughing gaily until the wee hours of the morning. Truly September 11th is a magical day, where we can sit around together as americans and backhandedly pretend to be part of the global community instead of just the global economy. It's a delightful reminder that you can gift wrap opportunity for some people and they would rather use it as a fireplace starter than open it up.

Yessir, I will always remember September 11th the day that Osama Bin Laden rode from his sinister space hideout and crashed the spiders from mars into the twin towers. I Rember the wave after wave of Mutant death spores let loose from their gleaming canisters. Truly a Day we can never forget!

Sadly the economic downturn means I cannot afford such modern holiday celebrations. But I guess that's ok, I'll just have to have fun on hallowween, and Guy Fawkes day this year.

Got my priest to level 22

yeah, that's right. 22 baby, I'm on my way up and it's popsicles from here, popsicles I say.

Contrary to my love of naps, I have a terrible hatred of headaches

And the one I have now is driving me mad. Even a shower and several hour nap didn't eliminate it, but they did help. I'm probably just going to go to bed soon anyway.

I love me some naps

Gonna try one now, so I don't have to sleep all night. Gotta get to 20 Doncha know.

power rangers is the most american show ever made

So very american, no other show so takes other people's hard work and remakes it

almost my weekend

just one more soul crushing, stultifying day at work and the week is over.

MONEY IS ALWAYS THE FUCKING PROBLEM

I am like, $60 fucking dollars short on rent and that is after the $140 my roomate krysis gave me. Just paying that means I still don't have money for gas to get to work for the 3 days that I need to worry about that, I'm going to have to scavenge and beg, I'm probably going to end up owing my mom even more money.

I can't keep borrowing and delaying everything. Bills fucking pile up in no time and I can't do a goddamned thing about them.

I want to laugh, then cry and then cry some more.

Maybe I just need to find a new place to live, and not let more than one other person possibly screw me over. The worst part, the very worst is that I understand why everybody is so poor and why the money goes less distance every fucking month. It is goddamned ridiculous.

I kind of feel like giving up

I don't think things are ever allowed to stabilize for me. Every time something somewhat good happens, something shitty happens too. I think it's the universe's way of telling me I should just live my life joylessly and away from other people. I think i'll go to bed early tonight.

In the last 2 days...

I have watched over 15 episodes of Power Rangers on the youtube. I am somewhat ashamed of myself, but it's really hard to stop looking. It's like a brightly colored trainwreck. Some of the most fun is trying to spot when they have inserted new american footage into the old Sentai footage. It is, in fact, Hilarious.

I'm gunning for your rock band spot

That's right, i'm learning fake drums. This will help round out my set of fake musician skills. I'm still on easy, but i'm going to work through the world tour and get me to medium, and then do it again for hard and so on.

watch your backs

Mind Crush...

I've gotten back into watching Yugi-Oh The Abridged Series and have come to the conclusion that the guy who does it is way too clever to not have something bigger given to him.
