An interesting little story..

I was on a random message board the other day (I'm too lazy to hunt down the link), about putting together computers and case mods. Some noob started a thread entitled "question." Curious to see what the lad with "x X" at the beginning and ending of his name with CaPiTaLiZaTiOn PrObLeMz wanted to know, I clicked the link.

"Wut is the diffence between regular moniters and lsd moniters?"

Somebody replied, "Dude, the colors on an LSD monitor are so vibrant. It's practically trippy, man." Curse him for beating me to it.

Just thought I would share that with you all.

Shin- Yeah, Miss Fey is witty. She's the only person on the show that I really like these days.

Alea- ..Well, what if it wasn't meant to? :P

Mimmi- One can only hope.

Syk- Not worse.. Cheaper.

Wow, even on a school day there's so little to talk about. It seems that talking about Journalism has sort of become a staple of my posts, so I guess I'll go on about that.

I didn't really realize how much space we had left on the newsletter until today. We only had two articles on the second page, so about 70% of it was empty. To take up some of that space, I increased the font size, and added in screenshots for my Pikmin 2 article (a month later) and the other guy's Street Racing Syndicate review. Aside from a lot of spelling errors and lack of structure, it was an okay article.. But it wasn't really a review. It summarized what you do in the game, without any critique or a rating.

There's still a few columns empty, but for the most part it was done. It really should have been printed over the weekend, but whatever. The yearbook is my prime concern and goal.

Oh, and I drew a funny little picture of the Pope on the board. It's oddly entertaining for no reason. What he says is not really all that great but I find it sadistically funny anyway. *shrugs* Maybe the Pope himself is easy to laugh at.

It turns out that the guy my dad works with has a wholesale license, which explains the cheap prices for the computer he put out. That's incredibly cool. I would like to milk him for cheap software in stuff, but that would be wrong.

..Or would it?

Bah, I'll edit this post later so I can come up with a good subject.

Teh SillyCircus Day 50- Half-Life is for PC gamers, Quarter-Life is for people who can only play Half-Life on PS2, and No-Life is for people who won't stop bitching about the game sucks on message boards.

EDIT: The Nocturne reservation is complete. I got the mandatory five dollars for reservation from my brother, got in the car and ran off to the mall. Before reserving, I walked around my regular places. Nothing really interesting, other than somebody spilling a chocolate shake on the DDR. Even an hour after I got there, nobody had cleaned it up. Such a travesty..

By the time I got into GameStop, there was a really long line. Tons of fanboys lined up- even some deep-voiced ghetto folk- all talking about the greatness of various games all at the same time. In front of me was some short Korean woman with her small child asking about the difference between Halo 2 and Halo 2: Limited Edition (or whatever it's called), and to my right were a few gangstas and a squeaky-voiced seventeen year old guy parttaking in a Superman versus Batman debate.

Every freaking one of them was resrving Halo 2, dammit. I swear, game stores have probably never been richer than when they started taking reservations for that game. I overheard one of the workers saying that there was going to be a midnight party on the release day, because so many people are going to be there.

Somebody remind me not to be anywhere near the mall on November ninth. The foul stench of Master Chief will fill the air, and hopefully it will clear out by the time Snake and Samus go on the prowl the following week.
