Once upon a time in a magical, far away land called Cino..

Comment Commentary

Shin- *nods* The Sims 2 isn't my number one priority, but it's up there..

Godel- I see.. But why are people screaming Chinese insults at each other all the time at your school? o_O

Mimmi- I like dreams, period. When I was little I could control my dreams.. That was cool. Too bad I can't do that anymore.

Solo- And bizarre = cool. ;)

Mal- But what about the transparent backgrounds? I think myOtaku should add that.. It would be quite awesome.

Aleia- Come on, Aleia, you're among friends here. Just admit that you were going for the new record. :P

I've been telling myself to watch Star Wars for the past few days.. After much poking and prodding, I finally popped our aged VHS copy of A New Hope into our only functioning tape player in the house. We have the old Episodes IV-VI boxset that was released a little while before they were all remade.. At the beginning of the tape it talks about how it is "The way to watch Star Wars.

One.

Last.

Time."

I find that funny, three incarnations later.

There's also an interview with some guy who's obviously not listening to George Lucas's responses to the most generic interview questions ever. When I was little, we would just fast forward through it. Even then it was a trashy interview. Oh well.

I laugh at VHS image quality! HAH! HA HA HA.

Just before the Death Star run, our Pizza Hut came and I stopped the tape and watched a mix of Indiana Jones on Sci-Fi and "When Star Wars Ruled the World" on VH1. I'll finish up ANH tomorrow, and probably get through the beginning of Return of the Jedi tomorrow.

The tapes are the original cut of Star Wars, before the whole CG-renovation thing they did a while back. I do vividly remember going to see the revised Episode IV at the movies with my dad, though, and I was just about the only person in my small, private-school kindergarten class to see it. I explained it all to them, they went with their moms to go see it, and for the next one and a half school years we spent most of our recess time reenacting various scenes, mostly when they're in the trash compactor.

Good times, good times..

However, I can't look back at those times without feeling intense loathing and disgust with my classmates and, for the most part, myself. I would always state facts that I knew were right, and they would always contradict me.

I remember one time when I was at a friend's house, and I mentioned how I heard how NASA found a new planet.. Of course, the kid was talking about how if there any planets farther than Pluto, we would have always known because God would have told us. Or something like that.

This, of course, got me royally pissed, but I didn't say anything. We went to a private Christian pre-school, though, so in retrospect I shouldn't have been so surprised.

I also had one or two nervous breakdowns before I was seven. Isn't that a little abnormal?

Oh, and we always played Chip's Challenge, an old puzzle game that came packaged with some old Windows operating system on the class computer. We would take turns all the time and yell at whoever was playing where to go. When I played I told everybody to stop doing that, and then I would do exactly what they did when I wasn't playing. I was a whiny, cocky, hypocrite and I hate that in a person, even if they're "little and can't help themselves." Whiny little six-year-old girls who have such a huge ego and sense of vanity and yet they look like Mon Chi Chis.. I hate them. Any small child who isn't quiet. I can't help but think that's wrong.

And now for some filler content.

OtakuSennen: *looks at Sierra's winter game lineup* Do you think Barbie of Swan Lake: The Enchanted Forest will dominate Half-Life 2?
OtakuSennen: 'Cause, you know, they're really close.
OtakuSennen: It all comes down to the polishing.
Shinmaru007: Yeah.
Shinmaru007: In the end, though, I think that Half-Life 2 will eek ahead.
OtakuSennen: Actually, I think the opposite.
OtakuSennen: Barbie's going to pull forward in the end.
OtakuSennen: After all, Barbie has such a fanbase.
Shinmaru007: We'll see what happens, then, bitch >:o
OtakuSennen: >:o


You're a Winter. You very much enjoy your time
alone but do like other people's company
sometimes. You just need your space. You have a
few priviledged friends who saw past your
colder exterior to find the true you. You can
have pretty bad mood swings (though you hate to
admit it) so you could be soft one second then
storming around the next! But over all, you're
a very pleasant person once people take the
time to get to know you. You're a good friend
for in-depth talks. You're very talanted when
it comes to creative things.


What season are you? (pics)

I love CG anime art like that.. It's all so inspirational.

My brother's been obsessing over The Sims for a while now, and he went into withdrawral when we lost all our game files. He was so happy when we got the new hard drive, and so disheartened when it wasn't installing. It got annoying as hell. After a while, it subsided, but it came back like a huge, tumbling wave of obsession when the Sims 2 commercials came out. He then tried installing it on the laptop, despite my suggestion, and what do you know, it worked. He's now sitting on the other side of this desk playing the game and talking to me about all the cool new skins he got with Superstar (He bought it a while back but never had a chance to play it). I suppose it's good that he's not trying to touch me and annoy me, but he's talking to me about about Simmy garble that I really don't don't want to listen to. Oh well.

It's too bad that there aren't any domestic Asian Kung-Fu Generation (They did Haruka Katana, one of the Naruto opening themes) CDs. I would probably import a disk or two, if it weren't for a couple problems:

a) Almost all of their works are freaking singles.

b) Two-song albums + import prices = not worth it.

They are a very cool band, though, and it would be most awesome if they came to Anime Expo or Otakon for a concert..

A man can dream, though, a man can dream..

Teh SillyCircus Day 35- Oh my God, they killed Charo!

...Eh.
