Ok my roommate is watching, I think, Eyeshield 21 right now. The football anime. Is it just me, or is the entire thing in slow motion? There's probably a dozen frames of animation in the entire episode!

James Lipton, from Inside the Actors' Studio, worked as a pimp in France way back when.

That's pretty awesome.

Marmaduke Explained

I think I have a new favorite blog. My old paper never got Marmaduke so I only got little snippets of it whenever I saw some other city's paper, but it was enough to get the gist: Marmaduke is a large dog! Ha! Ha! Ha!

"armyrotc@milsci.ucla.edu" sent my school email account a message with no content. What does it mean? I hope they don't desperately need my skills. My friends tell me I'm an insane waterboarder.

9/2/07 10:28 pm - Linux'd!

So my primary hard drive exploded or something and the rest of my computer is going to shit. Fun! Had to re-install Ubuntu after my re-installed Windows XP blew up in my face. Now running a completely Linux system, and probably failing pretty hard. Command line? What's that? Also, the shell this uses, GNOME I think it is, has the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons switched around. I'm used to "OK" being on the left and "Cancel" on the right, but no, those Linux guys, they had to be different. No doubt I just don't understand.

Ok, so Bioshock? F-ing phenomenal. My computer can't run it because it's a junker, but my brother has ULTRACOMPUTER and in a rare moment of generosity lets me play when he isn't (which is for approximately 17 minutes per day). I thought the game would be like Morrowind or Oblivion or System Shock 2 for me - really nice atmosphere but too scary oh-god-what-if-I-go-around-that-corner-and-there's-a-monster-and-it-jumps-out-at-me for me to play it without staying in one place frozen with fear - but it isn't! I mean, there is a definite sense of forboding and fear, but the game instills in me a will to move forward despite that. Wonderful!

So, 300. Woulda been more fun in theaters, but had its moments. "Boy-loving Athenians?" The Spartans were pederasts. Main problem was that because of the internet, I had heard and seen all the catchphrases and bloody bits, so it lacked in impact. Kicking the dude into the well felt a bit forced. Also, that was a well, right? You don't throw bodies into your water source. Common sense, Sparta! It gets a bunch of points for style, though.

KMFDM? Awesome. Or am I just a newbie when it comes to industrial or whatever this genre is and I am missing out on the really good stuff?

You know what I hate? Dried peas in oriental mix. I hate them so much.

Nukes are really a bad idea. ICBMs are just stupid. Russia, you aren't helping.

Gah! One of my miners in Dwarf Fortress went fey, somehow found everything he needed without going crazy, and completed his project, and what does he make? A floodgate. He moves like a snail now because he refuses to put it down!

Priest

You are 66% Will to Power

You would have been a warrior if you had not been so concerned with PURITY. Blood is unclean, you cannot stain your hands with it, so you must stay behind from the battle, stay with the slaves. This leads to great resentment, an emotion that dominates your life. You identify with the oppressed, yet you are not one of them; you are more intelligent, more cunning, more powerful. Your reaction to oppression is to CREATE and to DAMN. You and your kind are the ones who have created morality, religion, Good, Evil, Truth, God. This is your expression of power, how you fight the masters; and ironically, you are the ones who rule at present, covertly, deviously, yet effectively. But your time is fast running out. The day of the Superman approaches...












My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Will to Power
