The Pokémans Are Coming! THE POKÉMANS ARE COMING!
29 April 2007Sweet happenin’ hogwash, it has happened again.
With the advent of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl releasing in the US last Sunday, and since some friends are playing I once again picked up my Japanese version and got to work. I’m at over seventy hours of playtime. The game is still far from perfect, but damn does it still reel me in. I’ll write more later when I’m not bushwhacked but damn. If you enjoyed Pokémon once before and have a DS, do yourself a favor and pick up one of the new ones.
Damn.
Hot Food and Hot Fuzz
21 April 2007My bowels are already fighting back.
Had Indian food for the first time last night. Chicken vindaloo. My goodness that burns like crazy. Yet it is quite tasty. A tad too pricey for the likes of me, $11 for a bowl that didn’t quite fill me up, but good food nonetheless.
Hot Fuzz also opens this weekend, which is good news for movie lovers almost everywhere. Seems that it didn’t get much of a wide release, but Rochester had it showing in a few places, so I caught an early evening show. I was very pleased.
If you enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, go see Hot Fuzz. (Same folks behind both films.) So go. Now. Seriously, get up and go to the closest theater that’s showing it. Hot Fuzz is, dare I say it, better than Shaun of the Dead, which I never saw coming. It takes a while for the film to build up, but the payoff is amazing.
My Foot’s Cold
16 April 2007Sonofabitch Rochester.
Bloody April and it’s pouring down some putrid combination of snow and rain. There are colossal chunks of bullshit floating down from the sky. And my shoes aren’t functioning properly since they decided to absorb water.
This will not do.
Knee Slapping Good
15 April 2007I’m tired, yet not sleepy.
I’ve spent the past twenty minutes trying to slap my knee the right way so that it will kick up in reflexive motion. Sadly, if this was the only defense mechanism my body had, I’d be fucked.
I hate my fucking knee.
Gargle, Bitch!
8 April 2007In an attempt to save time, I gargled today while taking a piss.
The sensation was pretty unreal. I can only imagine that drinking while taking a piss would rival it in bizarreness.
On Cereals Containing Neither Grapes Nor Nuts
4 April 2007What the fuck is this Grape Nuts bullshit? The entire title of the cereal is a lie.
I thank my parents for raising me in a safe, stable environment. But parents must also warn their children of potential dangers. Grape Nuts was not something I was warned about.
Grapes and nuts. All I was really expecting. Just some freeze dried grapes and nuts sprinkled through some kind of whole grain cereal. Instead I get a box of supposedly edible gravel.
I am not happy right now.
Puzzle Quest Is Making Me All Tingly
4 April 2007In my pee pee parts.
Holy shit this game is addicting. Part Bejeweled, part Dungeons and Dragons. Flip around some blocks, cast some spells, swing your sword of ass slaying +1 with an extra kick when you connect three skulls and there are an abundance of red blocks on the board. Pure awesomeness.
Needless to say, when I’m not reading about bullshit set theory shit or how many jiggawatts it takes to move an electron up my ass, I’m thinking about colored blocks touching each other to deal maximum damage to my enemy’s weak spot.
It’s that damn good.
ヤッタ!!
3 April 2007I am going to Japan!
Tension Reaches an All-Time High
2 April 2007Rumours have it that JET results will be out tomorrow.
Now, of course that’s just rumours, but damn all if it doesn’t get my heart rate pumping. I’ve got homework to do and a quiz to study for, so I’m trying my damnedest to focus on other things, but fuck. It’s hard.
Wish me luck!
