Haha.. That's funny. Shut up.

Comment Commentary

Tony- My dad and my brother are on a "WE MUST BY CHAOS THEORY" rampage because they saw the commercial. It might work out nicely for me in the end, but at the moment, it's annoying.

Shin- Do you think that Splinter Cell would be as popular as it is without Tom Clancy's endorsing? Just a thought.

Azure- Seriously, this comic is shit. I mean, look at the drawings. SHIT.

Godel- Well la-de-da. ._.

Well, I haven't updated in quite some time. That's sort of odd.. Especially considering that I haven't been gone all of this time. I just haven't felt like posting, or I was too tired or busy to. The planets must be aligned.

EDIT: Oh geeze, accidentally hit the submit button. Sorry, I'm nowhere near done. XD

Anyway, on Saturday I went over to a friend's house, and an old friend from sixth grade was there as well.

This guy always was cool, and I was disappointed when we drifted in the beginning of seventh grade. We didn't have any of the same classes, and he became part of that ever-popular punk archetype. Very disheartening.

But one day, I was playing games at someone's house, and he calls, asking if he can come over to hang out. He did that twice last year, and once this year. That's what makes him so cool- despite his varied taste in fashion sense and friends that he's acquired in the past couple of years, he's still the game-playing, manga-reading maverick that he always was, and he hasn't forgotten his friends from way back.

Anyway, we did one of those things on Saturday. Initially I was planning on going to the mall, but that, of course, didn't happen, so I went over there.

I brought my PS2, Katamari Damacy, Devil May Cry 3, and a few anime DVDs. He had brought Alien Hominid, and when you combine this with friend C's slew of games (mostly borrowed from other people, but whatever), we had a jolly good time.

We walked over to friend D's house, and she had a bunch of family over for whatever reason. It was odd because every one of them was calling me Harry Potter behind my back, but I didn't really care, as I was playing Halo 2 on Live and messing around with some stupid Cardcaptor Sakura game that her little cousins made up.

It was one of those things where there are no definite statistics to any of the things you're doing, so it becomes a big bicker-battle over who wins.

"I have The Sleep and The Fire, which makes you fall asleep and then I light you on fire! I win!"

"Nuh-uh, I have The Shield and The Fight, so I protect myself and punch you in the face."

"You're both wrong. I have Little and Bubbles. I pwn you both."

And then there was Tarot Card reading, officially reserving me my place in hell. Good times.

As we were leaving, I let her borrow Katamari Damacy, which had my precious PS2 memory card on it, and I realized this when it was too late.

Oh, and I had to ride back on a pink bike designed for 8-year-old girls. It's amazing how empty a community can seem when you're just walking through, but the instant you're a 14-year-old guy on a pink bike, the place becomes vibrantly alive with jeering immigrants. It was.. Horrifying.

So yeah, for the most part, it was a fun day.

Sunday was Easter, and because of my mom's ongoing battle with crippling sore throats and fatigue, we didn't go to church, but we still visited relatives. I don't like visiting these relatives simply because I have nobody to really talk to there, but, being the well-off entrepreneurs (if I spelled that right I deserve Sainthood) that they are, they recenty bought the complete collection of comics from The New Yorker, so I read that. Oh, its high-brow metropolitan humor makes me chortle so.

We got home, and I watched Adult Swim. Robot Chicken was the highlight.. Now, I've always liked this show, but never before was its coolness as apparent to me as it was with this episode.

In one segment they were making fun of Star Wars.. They had a Darth Vader action figure, and a Luke Skywalker action figure (actually voiced by Mark Hammil) doing the typical Empire Strikes Back climax deal.

Vader: Luke.. I am your father.
Luke: That's impossible!
Vader: And Leia is your sister.
Luke: That's.. Improbable.
Vader: And the Galactic Empire shall be crushed by the might of the Ewok race!
Luke: That.. Doesn't make sense.
Vader: And The Force is actually a bunch of microscopic organisms in your system calls Midichlorians.
Luke: ..Wait, what?
Vader: And when I was a little boy.. I BUILT C3PO.
Luke: Okay, then, dude, if you're not going to be serious about this, I'm just going to leave, okay?

Genius. Pure genius.

Though I preferred the Peanuts segment where Linus summons The Great Pumpkin with a pentagram of chalk and blood-red candles.

Today I woke up around 10:30, and went to Gamestop to reserve Digital Devil Saga. I swear, the guys that work at this particular Gamestop are so stupid. I asked for Digital Devil Saga, and for some reason, the guy says that it's on Xbox.

So I corrected him and explained that it's Japanese, therefore it would be odd for it to be on Xbox.

"..Uh. Right. Here's you receipt."

I have this underlying feeling that he messed up the reservation and that I'll get stuck with a copy of Mechassault: Lone Wolf or something. Perish the thought.

Oh, and I saw two siblings with Playstation Portables in Target today. Seriously, how spoiled are these kids? They each got a PSP, and they were, like, ten. All they'll probably ever use it for is for crappy overhyped movie/tv games. Seriously.. What a waste of money. Those kids could buy college textbooks with that money.

I completed my first submission for DeviantArt today, but I felt like getting feedback from people on OB before putting it up there. It's in the Art Forum.. And the only reason I'm plugging this is because I get so little feedback anyway, and I'm just desperate. :P

The agenda for tomorrow: A trip down to San Diego for reasons unknown, and hopefully, a trip to Fry's Electronics. It's a HAVEN.

Though I'll be bringing my iPod. Odds are, the rest of the day will be boring as hell.

Happy happy news: According to several different sites, the new White Stripes CD is currently set to be released on June 14th. This means that a tour is soon to follow, and when it comes around to LA, I will be there. If only the Pixies/White Stripes concert were on the west coast instead of in Atlanta.. Stupid Georgia, I hate it so much.
