Gay Mexican Robot's Big Day Out

2006-11-19T16:38:00.000-06:00

If there's anyone out there that still checks this thing, I've moved to the area of mass conformity....myspace.

Check it out here

Frapper!: This is for all of you that play WoW...if you're interested.

Discord :: View topic - Roleplaying Realms Rule: Dude, I was totally unaware. Props goes out to Duane for pointing this out to me.

2005-10-05T11:37:00.000-05:00

I hate everything.

2005-09-13T18:36:00.000-05:00

Well, Belmont has moved into the room, although he's not bringing Angel (his cat) over till either Thursday or Friday. This is going to be an interesting time where I live.

School is going just peachy at the moment. I kinda wish that I didn't work on Fridays so I could get back into OA. I heard there was a schism of sorts, and two sub-groups split off. I believe one is run by Trae and the other run by Ghaleon, but I'm not too sure on the details. Anyways, it's not like I have Friday nights off anyways, so I'm not gonna get into any politics I don't need or want to.

I haven't been playing World of Warcraft very much due to issues at home, namely the switching of rooms and Belmont moving in. So, my warlock is only at level 37, but I'm so fucking close to 40 and my mount.

I found the journal I started when I was stuck in the god-awful love triangle between Lee, Lloyd, and me. Talk about a real downer. I look back at what I wrote down about my thoughts and all I can think is, "Holy shit, how fucking stupid was I?" I also had some other unpleasant parts of my life that I'm not particularly proud of re-brought to my attention. Namely the whole Josh/Dan fiasco. I always thought that I was doing ok...but I kinda just realized just how damaged I really am.

It's not something one exactly wants to feel when one is on academic probation. But I'll survive, always have so far.

2005-08-09T14:23:00.000-05:00

I've got an excuse for not updating for so long. I got my own account on World of Warcraft and I've been playing it a whole fucking lot. I've got a 32 Orc Warlock named Bloodnova on the server Dragonblight and things are moving swimmingly.

Anyways I should get back to that...need to get to level 33!

2005-07-01T13:37:00.000-05:00

Will my lazyness ever end? I don't rightly think so...especially since there's almost nothing to report. Things have been pretty boring this summer, although I've had some money problems which I hope are nearing their end. My latest quest is to try and raise enough money to buy a better computer and start playing World of Warcraft as soon as I can. Dave, Hastur, Kort, Wazu, and Morley are all putting the pressure on, but I've got bills to pay and stuff like that so It'll be a little while. Every once in a while I can also just trot on over to Bekah's house and borrow her account if I ever need a fix.

Anywho, work soon, bleargh~!

2005-05-16T01:52:00.000-05:00

Holy fucking shit, people. I didn't exactly mean to leave everyone that long. I've kinda been going without the intarweb for a while now, so I guess it's not outside of the realm of possibility...but still.

Anyways, big news! I've decided I want to go back to school and finish things out. I think you can probably still see my "I want out of school" post if you scroll down.

You know, I wonder how many people still read this blog, especially after I let it die. Well, consider this blog resurrected.

I think.

This is the Gay Mexican Robot, signing off!

2005-03-12T22:43:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone. I just thought you all would want to know that it is a full fortnight until my 21st birthday. A day that will be both famous and infamous. I am whole heartedly looking forward to it, though Dave, Kort, Hastur, Morley, Ray, and Wazu have all told me that I can only refuse one shot the entire night...not one type of shot, one shot.

I'm so not gonna remember anything.

2005-03-11T22:45:00.000-06:00

This one goes out to Belmont, whever the fuck he is.

2005-02-27T01:28:00.000-06:00

Early Sunday morning, with the Song of Nephilim from Xenosaga playing in the background. Completely sober and quite sore from work. Work has been eating my soul ever since my parent's decided that I owed them money for my car. This has left me with little chance to purchase Xenosaga II, much as I would like to have it.

Sometimes working with a hot pizza oven you realize how much work a restaurant puts into making a customer some quality food (most of the time). Then you burn your hand, and start to see scars a few days later. I really don't know where I'm going with this.

I think my mind filter is turned off at the moment. This all feels weird and dreamlike. Like Mogura....you know, the lobster monster from UCB.

Fight Mogura, fight!

Welcome to my yearly winter depression. It's a little late because of Yuki, but here it is just the same. I'm not expecting it to stay or really be that debilitating, but it does kinda suck.

Just a titch.

2005-02-24T00:36:00.000-06:00

2005-01-02T11:57:00.000-06:00

Whoa, folks! It's been a while...and I'm sad to say there's nothing really new to report. Except that I've been playing Paper Mario...alot!

My parents are taking the whole family out to dinner to Tokyo tonight for some quality food...yay!

2004-12-10T13:36:00.000-06:00

Well...I didn't get the job at Hutchinson. They said they wanted people better fitted for the job's requirements, i.e. "Able to work Mondays and Tuesdays" my mother told me. She's probably right, but still...it's not like I could work during the freakin' day on Mondays and Tuesdays!

Fucking bitches...

Hutchinson Technologies called me back yesterday and want to interview me tonight at 6:30pm. I don't know how it'll go. I don't have a resume or any real professional background, and they're talking about putting me on the night shift on Mondays and Tuesdays...which would disallow me to continue to game, which is something I'm not willing to do at this point. It sounds like they'd be more flexible at Kinko's, but it's almost a full dollar an hour less to work there. *sigh*

I turned in an application at Hutchinson Technology today. It'd be pretty nifty keen if I could work there, 'cause they'd pay me 12 bucks an hour plus benefits. I'd be able to take care of myself then.

2004-11-17T14:00:00.000-06:00

I got a brand, shiney new attitude today...and that attitude is "Whatever happens, happens". I'm going to stop worrying about what is going to happen and just focus on what I'm doing right now. What happens because of what I'm doing now will always come later.

2004-11-16T19:14:00.000-06:00

Well...I got one of those Unkymood thingies over there on the right, and that pretty much sums it all up right now...I don't know what to do or where to go. My parents are breathing down my neck about insurance and jobs, and I've got some other stuff that's been going on, reaming me a whole new one. I don't think I'll be able to make it to Mac-con this weekend, and I don't think I'll be going to Green Bay to visit family for Thanksgiving because I've got to work.

Blah!

2004-11-12T11:47:00.000-06:00

Well...It's done. I am officially now not enrolled in UWEC anymore. It doesn't feel all that different really, since I missed all those classes. I was practically not a student already for probably close to a month now. Currently, I'm looking for a second job that can pay me some extra money so I can make rent, and I'm considering finding a subleaser so I can move into The House, which would be so much cheaper than my current place.

2004-11-10T14:25:00.000-06:00

There's been way too much stress for me to deal with recently. It comes from a lot of different sources, and I've had to think things through. I don't know what I want to do anymore. I mean, I still love acting and I'd like to do it, but I don't think I want it as a career. I don't know what I want for a career.

So I've decided to withdraw from school. I'm taking some time off, getting a second job, and really thinking about what is that next step I want to take in life. My parents said they would talk it over amongst themselves, mainly what to do about my car, seeing as how it's still technically theirs.

2004-11-05T13:59:00.000-06:00

I would've had this posted earlier but Blogger was gettin' all screwy with me.

To say I feel disappointed by the election results would be...an overstatement actually. All throughout the back of my mind I had this tiny little notion that Bush was going to be re-elected regardless of how I voted. I still voted anyway, and Kerry won Wisconsin, so that's good at least. But in all reality, I think a whole exodus to Canada is a bit extreme, because we are no worse off or better than before. Bush is still in the white house, the GOP is still in control of both the senate and the house, and Wisconsin still has Feingold and Kind working for us. The only thing that's different is Bush can't get re-elected so he might go all out as a final blaze of glory and the current chief justice of the supreme court might be retiring soon, which means Bush will get to pick his replacement. So I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to live my life the way I have been, hoping that Bush doesn't go into ultra-Hitler mode.

Plus I don't have the money to move to Canada...much as I'd like to. I hear they'll even let me marry!

Treasure of the Rudras: I'm currently downloading this game and the translation patch for it. This game was also made by squaresoft and never released in the United States. I'll let you all know how it is later.

2004-10-08T13:36:00.000-05:00

I just took a blast from the past and read a few of my archived posts. The post were sometimes nonsensical...mostly because I'd describe my feelings or reactions to an event without actually explaining the event itself.

There's two reasons for this: a) Sometimes the people who read this site are people who a certain event centers around, and I don't want to bruise their egos with my pure, unadulterated thoughts and feelings. This is also why sometimes I don't post for weeks. b) Sometimes I don't feel like posting because I often times think that nobody reads my posts, so why should I post on my blog when nobody reads 'em. This, however, is quite false, as reason a) would suggest.

So even though this is supposed to be my little place to rant/bitch/moan, I never do, so I still keep my thoughts and feelings all bottled up inside and therefore never express them...which puts me into fits of depression like the one I've been going through. I think if I start posting my problems/thoughts/feelings, not really caring if anybody reads them or has their egos bruised by them (and thus threatens a lawsuit...) because it's more like I have to let it out somewhere.

Take for instance Yuki...I started dating him again, thinking that this time would be different. It was, too...but in the end I just couldn't love him the way he loved me, which is completely unfair to the both of us, so I called it off again. I feel bad because I hurt him again, but there was nothing else I guess I could've done at that point. At least I tried.

More to come in my life as it develops.

Live-A-Live: This is the game that I've been playing for the past couple of weeks in order to get my mind off of the unending chaos that has currently happened...I'm not going to get into it, for fear that I may bruise some people more than I already have, and I don't want that...Instead I'm going to give you a little mini-review/walkthrough of Live-A-Live, and encourage you all to play it. I've got all the components needed, so just e-mail me if you're interested and I can send them to you right away.

Live-A-Live

Developer: Squaresoft
Date: 1994 (Japan only)
Genre: RPG
Platform: SNES

Overview: Live-A-Live is a unique RPG that takes place in nine different chapters...And each chapter is a different time period, ranged from Prehistoric to Far Future. Each of the eight initial chapters have their own main character, and the final chapter allows you to pick a main character to play as. There are seven chapters from the start, and you can play them in any order. After all seven are completed, the eighth Medieval chapter gets unlocked, and after you beat that one, the final chapter becomes available. Each chapter is like a little mini-RPG game complete with it's own final boss. You can redo any chapter you want, whenever you want untill you start the Medieval chapter. After that, it's only forward for you!

The Nine Chapters:

Caveman: I recommend starting with this chapter, because there are a lot of easy battles at the beginning so you can learn how the battle system works (it takes some getting used to). The only thing I'd emphasize is leveling up during this chapter, and in any chapter you can...Because you'll be glad you did. The story is relatively simple, because there is only one line of dialogue spoken throughout the entire chapter.

Monk: This is a great chapter to start with also...You start off as a kung fu (Shinsanken style) master, the last one living, and you decide to pass down your techniques to some pupils. Only one of your pupils will become the next Shinsanken master, though.

Ninja: Quite possibly the hardest chapter in the game, especially depending on how you play it. You are a shinobi ninja, sent into an enemy castle to rescue a prisoner. There are so much that's hidden in this chapter with absolutely no clues, you might want to glance over the walkthrough once or twice. You have the option of killing whoever you come across as you please, and there's actually a way to go through this chapter without killing any humans (you still have to kill some mechanical traps and spirits, especially if you want to survive against the final boss). I recommend you play this chapter last.

Cowboy: This guy is my favorite character, and the best one in the game...Well, later on that is. This chapter is pretty straight forward as far as plotline goes, but don't start with it, because there's only a handful of battles to fight, and you don't level up at all.

Wrestler: I hate this guy, I hate his chapter, hate hate hate! Another difficult chapter, and one you don't want to start with. It's set up as a fighting game, which is sort of unique. You don't level up at all, and must fight all seven battles alone. It might take some trial and error, and a lot of frustration, but I'm sure you'll get it eventually.

Mecha: This chapter is rather difficult at the beginning, but becomes easy as pie near the end. You play a psychic that eventually gets to pilot his very own Giant Mech! It's pretty cool, but I must make the suggestion of giving the main character some robot accessories, even though he can't use them. It'll all be made clear later.

Robot: One of the two robots playable in the game (the other one is in the Mecha chapter), this chapter is probably my favorite as far as story goes. It's really good and involved, and you only fight one battle with your little robot dude...That's right, one! Otherwise known as the final battle. You can play a video game, though, that is really fuckin' hard, but it's not necessary to beat.

Medieval: This chapter is where the storyline of the entire game actually begins to make sense and congeal. 'nuff said!

Final Chapter: Now you know everything about what's going on...I highly suggest you pick a character that you like to play through this chapter as, for you are going to be stuck with him (or her, depending on your Shinsanken inheritor). You are able to add to your party any other main character except for one, you just have to find them and figure out how to make them join. Each character has their own, special dungeon with their ultimate weapon at the end, and it is recommended that you go through all of them.

Opinion: Live-A-Live is a good, short game, and I highly recommend you play it. Blake made the comment that he'd like to see it redone, and I'd agree...I feel each chapter is a little too short, and I would've like to have done more with most of them (especially the cowboy). I think it's a shame that Squaresoft never felt the need to bring this fine game over to the united states, but I'm glad somebody decided to translate it so that I and others could enjoy.

Court rules Newsom overstepped authority, voids marriages -- Queer Lesbian Gay News -- Gay.com: Well, shit! Talk about disappointing, especially to all those men and women who got married down in San Fran. And it was a unanimous decision by the California Supreme Court too. Although I think everyone on both sides is getting a little trigger happy with all the suing that's been going about: "Mathew Staver, who represents Campaign for California Families, which filed one of several lawsuits challenging the gay marriages." and "Gay and lesbian couples immediately acted on that invitation, suing in San Francisco County Superior Court alleging laws barring them from marrying were discriminatory."

This caught my eye, though: "The Arizona-based Christian law firm Alliance Defense Fund, a plaintiff in one of two cases the justices decided Thursday, had told the justices that Newsom's 'act of disobedience' could lead other local officials to sanction 'polygamists.'" What the fuck?! What's wrong with polygamy? Greg, my roommate is a polygamist and I really don't think there's anything wrong with him. And since when has the support of gay marriage automatically turns into the support for polygamists?

I tell ya, Canada is looking better and better every single day.

2004-07-16T00:08:00.000-05:00

These past few days have been much of the same thing. I wake up, I do some stuff like play Mega Man (which Blake has so graciously given to me, thanks very much Blake), I go to work at Putnam, I go to bed. Not much else has happened....ever.

It's never been really boring, per se. But I think I'd bore you with the details if I came on here everyday and told everyone I ate a burger instead of a taco today, and tomorrow I'm thinking of eating some Mac n' Cheese.

I did get a parking ticket during the Brainspike on the 9th, though, but I paid it off already.

I can't think of anything else to say, really.

2004-07-08T00:04:00.000-05:00

Isn't it amazing that if you stay in Eau Claire long enough, you'll eventually meet everyone, and watch how the people that you know start to meet each other.

Or maybe it's just fuckin' craaaazeee!

P.S. That little deep blue funk has passed. I think I'm allowed two of those a year, and I'm pretty sure that's my first for 2004 (I could be wrong, if anyone would like to verify).

2004-07-05T23:54:00.000-05:00

2004-07-01T03:33:00.000-05:00

I never meant to hurt anyone.

But I end up hurting the ones who matter most anyways.

I hurt Josh when I went back to Dan's place that one night and made out.

I hurt Yuki in more ways than I could count by trying to save him from a possible future hurt that probably would have left him devastated.

I hurt Christopher by not being honest and thinking that if I just kept my mouth shut things would eventually get better on their own.

I hurt Lloyd when I believed that I couldn't be the one he would spend the rest of his life with.

I've hurt Greg by using him whenever I felt like it was convenient and never really gave him anything back in return.

I've hurt my sister because whenever I felt jealous of her for her achievements when I myself have precious little.

I've hurt my parents whenever I thought that they could do just a little bit more for me.

But most of all I've hurt myself more times than I can count by believing that I would never hurt anybody.

I hurt so much.

Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a first. Somebody has read my blog from all the way down in Oklahoma. His name's Jay (I think) and he posted a comment in correlation to the last post about the judge in Oklahoma that got caught using a penis pump. Let's celebrate my blog going national by having a kick ass party...who's with me?!

2004-06-25T03:03:00.000-05:00

Here's some news from Oklahoma: Gay News From 365Gay.com

I just don't know what to say about this...

2004-06-22T00:37:00.000-05:00

Old people can be really grumpy and fucking assholes sometimes. When I say old people, I don't mean really old people like "in their fifties on up" kind of old, I mean "Thirties to fifty" kind of old people. Full adults, shall we call them.

Not every one, but a few out there think they know everything and are too stubborn and too tight assed to hang loose and enjoy life. Worse is when they start interaction with, say, a twenty some little "kid", they automatically feel superior in every sense of the word and are immediately filled with (dare I say it?) such banality that it makes the little kid sick just talking to him.

Thank you for sitting through another random tangent.

Test results are all negative. There's nothing wrong with this little mexican.

2004-06-17T01:29:00.000-05:00

I just realized that I haven't been tested for an STD for about two years now. I think I'm gonna go in later today and get that done.

2004-06-16T21:36:00.000-05:00

I feel horny, stressed out, and fucked up at the same time. All without any controlled substances! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Monday's are weird...

I was wandering around with the illustrious Sarah Edwards as we trapsed around Water Street, in search of something to do. Lo and behold, my wife (I was in High School), Brenda, my ex boyfriend Chris and Dwayne walked into Racy's. That's weird coincidence number one. Shortly thereafter, both Lee and Lloyd and some unknown female walked down the bike path that runs past Racy's. Later, as Sarah and I were walking up Water Street back to my place, I saw Lucas drive by in his big red jeep. Seeing as how I saw Yuki earlier that day to visit and get Summer Fun Cthulu back, that put the count up to 5, leaving out Christopher Arndt and Josh.

A little while after Sarah and I got back to Racy's after picking up my computer, Brenda and Chris invited us to go over to Brenda's new apartment and watch a movie. Brenda, being the bright bubbly person she is, made the mistake of inviting along Drew, the creepy guy who hits on all the people of the opposite gender he can. I had to bug out early so I could get to work on time.

Yesterday, I ran into Brenda and Chris again, and this time all of us went to Tropic Waters to buy Brenda a cockatiel. And when I say "all of us" I mean Anne, Hastur, Heidi, Brenda, Chris, and I.

Something odd is going on, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

2004-06-13T16:37:00.000-05:00

I found this a little amusing. I'm almost positive that the people who performed this little experiment aren't certified psychologists (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire "experiment was nothing but a hoax), but it's still amusing, and even a bit enlightening.

I should start carrying around a six pack of beer and a playboy magazine wherever I go and if I run into a hot straight guy I'll just hand him the beer and say, "Drink up!"

Quality humor over at Penny Arcade as always.

2004-06-10T15:12:00.000-05:00

Maybe I'm going about this all the wrong way...

I broke up with Yuki on Tuesday. He's a great guy, but I'm just not feeling a connection between us. Yuki deserves somebody who can actually love him, and not somebody who'll sit there, tickle him, but feel nothing beyond friendship.

It's frustrating because I'm looking for this deep connection to have with somebody. But I've already had that connection to somebody else, even though he was a stupid sheep who couldn't really think for himself. It's downright stupid to think that I'll find that connection again within somebody else, but I try so bad. Maybe that's why I get disappointed so often. I don't know what else to look for, though, and I feel not looking for that deep connection will make me even more lost.

And I'm not making any sense...
But that's okay, because I just needed to type things through...
I should go now...

2004-06-07T13:06:00.000-05:00

I've got a meeting with Jody today, my advisor. I decided not to take a semester off and to just keep pluggin' away to graduate sooner. I'm gonna get shit for classes though...

2004-06-03T11:00:00.000-05:00

Whoo! I'm sort of back...finally.

I've moved all my stuff into my first apartment and everything's all groovy (except I have next to no money for food, but Greg has been generously allowing me to mooch off of him). I'll be starting my new job over at Dragenetti's next week, and I've decided to continue with school till I graduate, just to get it over and done with as soon as I can.

It feels wierd living on my own, not in the dorms.

Here's a hilarious website I found today: CostofSex.com - cost of sex with a girlfriend and wife calculator

2004-05-19T21:27:00.000-05:00

Oh my good lord!This is hilarious. I want to make out with Scott Ramsoomair so bad.

Rights vs. Privileges

This rant may be confusing because it jumps around a bit, but you'll probably be able to figure out the gist of what I'm trying to say.

Today at the tables, my last time sitting down and basically bullshitting with everyone, the subject of gay marriage came up once again. This one guy, I believe he has rather conservative opinions and I don't remember his name, brought up his opinion that marriage is a privilege, not a right. Thereby, he implies that marriage should not be a privilege that gay people should enjoy. If that's not what he's implying, then he should make what he is implying clearer to me because I take it as such.

Let's take a look at Merriam-Webster's online definition of privilege. Thereby, by that definition, if--if--the amendment to the Constitution banning gay marriage passes, then marriage will become a privilege enjoyed by straight couples. But passing an amendment would put discrimination into the Constitution again, equivalent to the "Separate but Equal" clause that was challenged before and eradicated. I believe the supreme court said at the time "Separate is never equal."

I'd also like to throw in my parents' definitions of rights and privileges. A privilege was something that I was lucky enough to get if I did good in school, didn't talk back, yadda yadda yadda. A right was something that my parents' choose not to deny me, no matter how "naughty" I was. I was privileged to play video games on the weekend during school, and I was privileged to hang out with my friends. I had the right to food, clothing (as needed, not wanted), and shelter. These rights and privileges were afforded to both my sister and I, even though she is a completely different person. Claiming that marriage is a privilege granted to straight people and not gay people would be equivalent to my parents' denying Brianna the privilege to hang out with her friends for no reason. I know my fair share of straight couples who do not really deserve the "privilege" of marriage, and I know a bunch of gay couples who do. And yet, these straight people are allowed to marry solely for the fact that they want to marry somebody of the opposite gender? And gay people aren't because it'll "destroy the family unit"?

Who's the real 500 foot tall robot monster?

Not I.

2004-05-14T16:16:00.000-05:00

Dude. you guys. Check this out! You know, as one of those minorities, I'd like to point out that I don't feel that sign language signs relating to gays isn't really all that offensive.

Askew Coup: alright, just when I've had a crappy day, McDonelds decides to cheer me up

boywonder988: what'd they do this time?

Askew Coup: http://www.i-am-asian.com

Askew Coup: Oh, just added a little bit of happy into my world

Askew Coup: I'd like to draw attention to the fact "I am Asian" on their website has a copyright. They copyrighted the phrase "I am Asian"

Askew Coup: It's just...glorious

boywonder988: god DAMN!

Askew Coup: take that asians, no more describing your racial backround without paying a little licensing fee to Micky D's!

Askew Coup: woo boy

Askew Coup: I needed that somthing firce,

boywonder988: damhn

boywonder988: at least taco bell hasn't copyrighted the phrase "I am Mexican"

Askew Coup: oh, but now that day will come

Askew Coup: first they'll hit the big minoritys(?), and then they'll start getting specific

boywonder988: i suppose i'll just have to wait

Askew Coup: "I'm korean" "I'm vensualian"

Askew Coup: and then, after that wonderful moment, they'll start copyrighting racial slurs...

boywonder988: uh oh

boywonder988: i should copyright "Spikbot" right away, then

boywonder988: otherwise i'll have to be paying out some liscensing fees myself

Askew Coup: I think you're actualy pretty safe on that one...

boywonder988: maybe

boywonder988: until one day they run across my little website

Askew Coup: you never know

Askew Coup: and then "Ka-Blam!"

Askew Coup: speaking of, new blogger=nice

boywonder988: new blogger?

Askew Coup: yeah, they revamped everything

boywonder988: hmmm

boywonder988: i'll have to check that out

boywonder988: i've just been using the blog this option on my toolbar

Askew Coup: it's nice

Askew Coup: not as nice as copyrighting though

Askew Coup: man, I wonder if metalica will copyright a g-chord next?

Askew Coup: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3815314978

Askew Coup: also awsome

boywonder988: i think a g-chord would be public domain

Askew Coup: yeah, I'd think the phrase "I am asian" would be public domain

Askew Coup: but now? who knows!

Askew Coup: Shit, I should just copyright AIR!

boywonder988: this is true

Askew Coup: or the breathing of it!

boywonder988: that you should

2004-05-10T16:57:00.000-05:00

I feel very violated...

2004-05-09T14:55:00.000-05:00

There's a sub sandwich staring me right in the face.

2004-05-09T14:33:00.000-05:00

Happy Mother's Day!

2004-05-08T16:42:00.000-05:00

If I ever see another sub sandwich I am gonna vomit all over the floor.

Van Helsing was good, and I was especially pleased that they never referred to Frankenstein's monster as Frankenstein, but called him "Monster." I don't think it warrents a return visit to the theatre, though.

I am weak-willed. Yuki wanted some coffee before the movie last night so I suggested Boarders because Amazon decided not to send me Exalted: The Outcaste. Boarders didn't have it in stock, but they did have Demon: The Fallen there and I just couldn't resist. I'm an impulse buyer and I have a thing about buying out of print books. It just makes me feel all gooey, warm, and fuzzy inside.

2004-05-08T14:05:00.000-05:00

Today's Mac Hall is awesome!

2004-05-06T03:10:00.000-05:00

Yuki did the sweetest thing. He stopped by to visit after having a couple drinks for Cinco de Mayo while I was working my nine to midnight shift at the front desk. I totally did not expect him to stop by at all, and I probably had a big dumb smile on when I first saw him. We played Chez Geek and watched Adult Swim. Fairly uneventful, I guess, but it meant a lot to me that he just decided to surprize me and drop in unexpected.

I'm gonna have to do the same, when he leasts expects it.

2004-05-05T19:01:00.000-05:00

It looks like I won't be able to go to OA this week either. Van Hellsing comes out on Friday and Yuki has invited me to go and see it together, so...of course I'm gonna head off and have some fun with my boy. Oh well, there's always next semester...

2004-05-04T17:06:00.000-05:00

May I direct your attention here?! Thank you...

2004-05-03T16:00:00.000-05:00

Oh my dear lord, this is hilarious! A boat capsized as all the passengers tried to watch some nudists at a nude beach in Texas. I find it especially funny that the captain was running up the stairs to tell the passengers to move away from the railing when the boat tipped over. Heh, they sure don't make 'em like they used to.

I really mean to go to OA every friday, but lately somthing seems to just pop up out of nowhere before I even get to the TV lounge. This week Rachel was in town and wanted to hang out last night, and of course I wasn't gonna pass that up. Last week, Abbey wanted to play Chrono Cross, eat ice cream, and paint my toenails blue. And then the last two or three weeks, I've spent with Yuki watching movies like Kill Bill part two. Oh, well.

With the release of Yahoo! Instant Messanger BETA, I've discovered LAUNCH, a radio system built right into YIM. I've set up my own station and I'm really diggin' it. You do have to spend a little time telling it what songs/artists/albums you like, but after a while it'll play things that you like and recommends stuff that it thinks you will like. My station ends up playing alot of Fantastic Plastic Machine, Paul Oakenfield, Eddie Izzard, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Radiohead.

2004-04-30T16:25:00.000-05:00

Well, hot damn!

CRAZY ONE. You need crazy partners. You dont mind
if he/she takes alc or drugs or smokes he is
not allowed to be boring. Open-Minded for
everything our partner should spent much time
with you. Your partner shall be spontaneous and
love danger. It is not that important if she/he
is rich or if he/she cuts his nails she/he must
follow you .You take the domination over the
relationship, you decide most of the times
where to go. If the sex is not good (any
more)you quit the relationship
For you it is better to leave than to see your
love restrained.
PLEASE VOTE, I want to know what you think about my
quiz, I worked hard on it.You can always
message me or tell me how I can improve that
quiz. Ill sure write back.

I took some time to check out G-Shack.com, the site where the kitty movie came from, and it's a pretty good site. This guy is kinda funny, and he makes me think that his website is the type of stuff my friends would produce if they had money. Also, if you look carefully at the bottom in the Staple Advertisement movie, you'll notice a poster that you can clearly make out Spike Spiegel, proving that this guy is a Cowboy Bebop fan.

Disgruntled Ferret's comic about Final Fantasy VIII has a very, very valid point. It's my least favorite Final Fantasy, but it's well above the game SaGa Frontier 2, in my very humble opinion.

Askew Coup: on that note, I have some new gay news for you, since it's poping up all over these days

boywonder988: i know

boywonder988: what's up with gayness these days?

Askew Coup: well, there's this bill, that allows a doctor to reject treatment on "ethical, moral, or religious grounds.", talked more in detal here.

Askew Coup: beyond the obvious abortian debate, it would also allow someone to reject treatment with mere suspission of gayness

Askew Coup: meaning a totaly straight man could go to the hospil after a tragic bike accident, and they docter could be all, "man, those shorts don't say "set my leg and give me painkillers to me" now do they?"

boywonder988: damn

Askew Coup: it's currently being voted on in the mishigan senate, so it'll play out in the next few days

boywonder988: holy shit

Askew Coup: "So a racist white doctor can refuse to treat blacks? a fundamentalist can refuse to treat catholics, jews, muslims, mormons and anyone outside of their sect?"

Askew Coup: from the metafilter line on it

Askew Coup: but if this passes, it makes for another great canada emmergration reason

boywonder988: one among hundreds

Askew Coup: list keeps grown'!

Askew Coup: OI

Askew Coup: I'm actualy reading the comments on metafilter right now, the civl arguments for and against are pretty intresting

boywonder988: "Paul A. Long, vice president for public policy for the Michigan Catholic Conference, said the bills promote the constitutional right to religious freedom."

boywonder988: I'm sorry, but WHAT?!

Askew Coup: well, you know, or the right to hate other people's religious or otherwise freedom

Askew Coup: It actualy reminds me of some texis news lately, where a women was raped, and then denied the mourning after pill by both the pharmisist, becaue he didn't agree with it morraly (does that mean he agrees morraly with rape?!) and by another physision because he said it was against his religion.

Askew Coup: good blog on the matter as well.

boywonder988: .........

Askew Coup: yeah....

You can find the bill Blake and I were talking about here, and an article from a gay news source.
