Roller coaster...dizzy....

Today's OCRemix: "Booster Tarantino" Super Mario RPG Remix by djpretzel. djpretzel, the founder, owner, and proverbial judge, jury, and executioner (sometimes) of OCRemix.org. The man himself, this is true, makes his own Remixes as well, and usually of most older/lesser known games than something you might find from Square-Enix, for example. Anyway, for all you movie fans out there, this piece was styled after the soundtrack from Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", and the original song is Booster's Tower from Super Mario RPG (god, wasn't that game such a riot?) Anyway, the song is really cool, featuring some very slick saxophone, and a really good drumline as well. Nice stuff, from the owner himself! Well, my apologies to those on MyO for the past week, but things have been a little...nuts...to say the least. Last weekend, my computer wis infected with the Sasser.a worm, and I couldn't get on the net, or use my PC much either. That was fairly discouraging, considering I had to get on the Internet to get the programs to remove the virus. (When will all the madness end?!?!?)...Anyway, my point is that after some deliberation, my dad borrowed a third-party virus scanner of a friend at work, and put it on a disk which we used on my PC. I had 33 files infected with Sasser.a, which was discouraging, but I was glad to have found the problem. However, the strange part was, when my dad checked his PC, it said he had over 100 files with Sasser.a, and yet his PC seemed to be working fine. On the major upside, this Thursday we got a cable modem for my PC! Hooray! To celebrate, I'm abusing it with large downloads and online games of Battlefield. It works quite well, I'm pleased to say, and my dad is working on buying a wirless router for the rest of the PCs. To recap the week, one of my biggest events came last Sunday, where I went to the big city to march in a parade for my school's Honour Guard. Here was the itinerary: 600: Wake up. 630: Breakfast at school. 830: Arrive in the city. (One of the more amusing moments on our trip occured when a small car sideswiped our bus, the bus sustained no significant damage, but the car that hit us appeared to have its side ripped up pretty badly.) 930: March on! 1030: Sit in 2 hour Church service, (Apparently, I was the only one in our Guard who was able to stay awake through the whole thing.) 1300: Free time! I went with a couple of girls from Nepal I know to an Indian restaurant. It was nice, and they both had a good laugh at my expense when I tried to taste the restaurant's hottest curry. They also taucht me how to eat rice with my fingers! It's hard. 1500: Bus departs, some people leave with souvenirs, others, like myself, with just the memories...(To this day, the girls still laugh at my experience with hot curry.) Well, that was the coolest part of the weekend, for sure, and then our day was cut shorter than usual on Friday because we were going to Quebec on a tour for History class. All the same, that didn't keep us from coming back with a few souvenirs. Just for the heck of it, I bought a comb that looks like a switchblade, and my friends and I had fun scaring people with it, and I did the same to my parents when I got home. In other news, we are currently working on a big movie for our Drama Class, and we hope to finish in a few more weeks, probably working on our own time, as well. It's a Kill Bill-esque movie with the working title Oni-no-Bokuto: Demons of the Wooden Sword. Basically, I kadnap the boyfriend of a student of mine (martial arts) and she goes on a rampage, trying to recover her man and kill me. How fun is that?! I look forward to making this movie, and my teacher is going to teach me how to edit it for credits and...you guessed it...music. Anyway, It is now 2 A.M. here in sleepy Quebec, and I think I'll stay wired for a little longer before passing out at my PC. By the way...it snowed on Monday...really, it did. My words to my friends as we watched the snow fall in the morning: "Don't you just love this country?" -Won-daa-shot
