I am the best boyfriend in the world because I have gone out at ten at night to get Meika soup and medecine.

I am also psychically posting from the store. *Nodnodnod*

I didn't leave myself logged in or anything.

There is no way Meika is posting this in a deluded fever dream.

Nope, none whatsoever.

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: No cheating.
Step 6: Only pick up to four songs at a time so others can guess.

1. I like to teach you all the rules, I get to see them set in stone.  I like it when you chain me to the bed, then your secrets never show.
2. He's the one, he likes all our pretty songs, and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun.
3. At 4:30 in the morning, I'm milking cows.  Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows.
4. You're pushing me, and I'm gonna push back.  Pushing me, set to attack.
5. I'm not the kind of person you think I am.  I'm not the Antichrist or the Iron Man.
6. I was born on the cemetery, under the sign of the moon.  Raised frommy grave by the dead, I was made a mercenary in the legions of Hell.
7. Dark rivers are flowing back into the past.  You are the fish for which I cast.
8. He's gaining on you, so you better look alive.  He's busy revving up the powerful Mach 5.
9. I still recall the taste of your tears, echoing your voice just like the ringing of my ears.  The favorite dreams of you still wash ashore, scraping through my head 'til I don't want to sleep anymore.
10. Though I keep searching for an answer, never seem to find what I'm looking for.  Lord, I pray you'll give me strength to carry on, because I know how it feels to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
11. I've been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel, and the voice in my head that drives my heel, 'cause my baby called and said I need you here, and it's a half past 4 andI'm shifting gears.
12. I am an antichrist.  I am an anarchist.  Don't know what I want, but I know how to get it.  I wanna destroy passersby.
13. See myself in the pouring home, see the light come over now.  See myself in the pouring rain, I watch hope come over me.
14. It winds from Chicago to L.A., more than 2000 miles all of the way.
15. What have I become, my sweetest friend?  Everyone I know goes away in the end.
16. Wake up, grab the brush and put on a little makeup.  Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup.
17. Naked, naked, naked, he was sitting crosslegged, and he was happy, happy, happy that he ate some beans.
18. I hear hurricanes a-blowing, I feel the end is coming soon, I feel the river's overflowin', I hear the voice of ancient ruin.
19. Some people say my love cannot be true.  Please believe me, my love,and I'll show you.  I'll give you the things you thought unreal.  The sun,the moon,and the stars all bear my seal.
20. I am the jigsaw man, I turn the world around with a skeleton hand.
21. He's singin' and she's there to lend a hand.  he's seen his name on the marquee, but she will never understand.
22. I dig my toes into the sand.  The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket.  I strain against the wind, and in this moment, I am happy.
23. I'm not a trendy asshole, I do what I want, I do what I feel like.  I'm not a trendy asshole.  Don't give a fuck if that's good enough for you, 'cause I am alive.
24. If you want to battle, you're in denial.  Coming from Uranus to check my style.  Go ahead and put my rhymes on trial,cast you off into exile.
25. Yeah, my girlfriend takes collect calls from the road, and it doesn't seem to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge.
26. There's a place just south of Witches' valley, where they say that the wind won't blow, and they only speak in whispers of her name.
27. I see your hair is burnin', hills are filled with fire.  If they say I never loved you, you know they are a liar.
28. Here in my car, I can only receive.  I can listen to you, in case mistaken for guys in cars.
29. There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure, 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
30. Hey, I'm feeling tired, my time is gone today.  You flirt with suicide, sometimes that's ok.

Some of these are pretty obscure (I didn't even know I had them), some of these I'm embarrassed that I still have, and some of these are really good songs.

Well, have fun!

Current Music: Cavity Search - Weird Al Yankovic
Ok, it's been a long time since I launched into a rant on this thing, but I saw something this evening that frustrated me so much that I needed to vent. I was checking out the movie trailers on apple.com, when I came upon this. That's right, they're remaking Night of the Living Dead. Again. But this time, it's in 3D. Whoo hoo...

Not only are they re-making it, but judging from the trailer, it's being reduced to "Shit pops out at unexpected moments to scare the audience. Isn't that scary?" It's nice to know that Resident Evil is getting a proper movie made... *sigh*

Modern filmmakers seem to miss the point that Night of the Living Dead didn't have the lasting impact it had because it was graphically violent (which it was), or that shit popped out and made people jump (which it did). It was effective because it played on the major concerns of the time, bringing them to the fore and making people face them in uncomfortable ways. The late 60s was a time of major upheaval, concerning Nixon's impeachment, the Vietnam War, and changing views on sexuality, just to name a few. The film dealt with race relations (which ironically doesn't seem to be an issue with this re-make, since the African-American main character was re-cast as a white college student...), and the processions of living dead seem to evoke 'Nam war vets who came home permenantly scarred, either physically, emotionally, or both. It also looks like the remake has completely destroyed the character dynamic that drove the original.

The thing I find hilarious is the disclaimer at the end of the trailer stating that, since the original film is public domain, they don't have to consult or pay George A. Romero for ripping off his intellectual property. That disclaimer is basically a stamp stating that they're just doing it for the money.

Hollywood has already missed the point Romero was trying to make when they remade Dawn of the Dead (again, ironic, since Dawn of the Dead was a giant allegory and satire of consumerist culture). Why do they have to do the same thing with the Romero movie I actually consider his masterwork? Just... *shakes head*

Wow...  I really need to update this thing more often...

Well, the most expensive holiday of the year is, as every store I go into is reminding me, coming up, so I need to know what people want for Christmas.  Nothing is not an option, so no cop-outs.

That reminds me, would anyone have/know how to get a hold of a cheap (read:less than $10) copy of the 2nd Ed. AD&D Player's Handbook?  I want to get it for my brother for Christmas, because I think he'd be interested in D&D, but I want to guage his interest before I sink the $40+ on the 3rd ed. core books.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, quick equation.  Cheap halloween chocolate + stolen oven s'mores idea (thanks Jeremy) = cheap deliciousness.

Speaking of Jeremy, I wasn't able to get a hold of you in time, so Happy Birthday!  I also need the e-mail address you use most often, so if you wouldn't mind firing off an e-mail, it'd be appreciated.  Also, we can make plans for when you come into the city for December, so that we can hang out for more than just a couple of hours on one day.  Oh, and I found a B.O.T.S. Master tape at Zellers if you're interested.  It even comes with teh 3d glasses we never had as kids!

For some reason I've been more bitter than usual.  I can't explain it.  I'll blame it on a combination of the weather and the fact that everyone seems to be going through some sort of emotional duress right now.

Although, for me being justifiably bitter, lemme rant about my Intro Computer Usage prof (yeah, yeah, I know.   It fulfills my science requirement, and I had to drop it last year due to the car accident, so I needed to take it again.).  I e-mailed her about 4 days before an assignment was due, stating that I hadn't been in class, because I was making sure that Meika was ok, and taking her to the doctor and such.  I offered documentation, and asked for an extension on the due date for the assignemtn, along with the various topics it could be on (it's a Word document, and the parameters are on the website, but the topics are not.).  That was two weeks ago.  I haven't gotten so much as a "I got your e-mail" response.  And the assignment is worth 10% of my final grade.  Yeah, thanks.  Fuck you too.  

That is why I've decided to make my own topic.  The assignment is now about why the assignment is late (Mmmm...  meta-assignment.), complete with details on why I missed class, and the fact that my prof has deemed it unnecessary to respond to my e-mail.  Hopefully it will get marked.

On a better note, my Cult Film prof is awesome.  She was actually disappointed that we weren't singing along and shouting at the screen during the Rocky Horror Picture Show (sorry, Meika!  Usually professors are finicky about that sort of thing).  She also has a wicked sense of humour, as demonstrated during her lecture on Ed Wood and Plan 9 from Outer Space.  She's great.  Sorry for fanboying.

Oh, right.  Does anyone have a copy of Fight Club I could borrow?  I need it for a paper I'm writing for said awesome prof.

For some reason, I've been playing a lot of Mortal Kombat II (Thank you Midway Arcade Classics 2).  I don't know why I have been, I just have.  

Oh, anyone remember Captain N, the Game Master?  All of the episodes are on YouTube!  It's great, I've been making my way through all of the episodes that are there.  They get as much wrong as they get right.  It makes me much more happy than it should.

I'm going to stop rambling now.  I'll probably update again soon, since I'll be working a lot more in the near future in order to afford Christmas.  Yay coronary!

... The Hell?! I'm updating? But... But... That doesn't happen... Yeah, fuck you too...

So, I think I'm turning into a CCG whore. I'm getting talked into playing Raw Deal, the WWE CCG (yeah, yeah, I know. Ewww... Wrestling. Get over it), and I'm actually looking forward to it. The game itself seems fairly simple to grasp, but the main reason I'm game for it is the community. The guy who organizes the tournaments in the city works at Convergys, and he's helping out with getting me set up (he gave me a rule book and he's setting me up with a bunch of cards), and listening to him talk about the atmosphere makes me actually consider participating in tourneys. Apparently, the community is very heavily geared towards camraderie and the experienced players actually helping the newbies (unlike, say, I dunno... Magic, where you get owned and then told to go away). Bsides, I'm also looking forward to building a legion of old old school wrestler decks (JYD, bitches!).

Speaking of guilty pleasures, I can't believe it, but I'm actually enjoying an American Idol-esque show on Much More Music. It's called "But Can They Sing?", and it has a bunch of celebrities performing songs trying to win money for their chosen charity. Man, I didn't know the guy who played the original Red Power Ranger still had a career, but apparently, he's on One Tree Hill, and he can actually sing. Scary. I recommend the show for the train wreck value.

Yeah, so, even though Lois has a kid (Heresy!!!), I've watched the new Superman Returns trailer at least 5 times in the last 2 days. Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor makes me so very happy.

can't think of anything else at the moment, so I'm going to stop writing... Now.

Mar. 30th, 2006 @ 09:01 pm Recipe for a concussion
Current Mood: pensive
Current Music: Jason and the Argonauts (it's on TCM right now... Awesome!)
Ingredients:
1 small egg shaped Japanese car with low roofs
1 less than cautious driver
2 passengers in the undersized back seat
3 seatbelts
1 pothole (a delicacy found in abundance in the spring in Winnipeg)
50 kms worth of speed limit
15-20 kms excessive speed

Combine passengers and driver with seatbelts in egg shaped car. Add the 50 kms of speed limit and then quickly blend in the 15-20 kms excessive speed, to taste. Once the extra kms have been added, dip car in pothole. This will mix the contents in the car and cause the passengers to hit the low ceilings. Let passengers sit for 10-30 seconds. Serves one per passenger.

Basically, what I'm saying is, the pothole tha Mike hit when driving us home caused Meika to get a concussion, which I'm trying to help her deal with now. Speed is not your friend in a Winnipeg spring.
