Mood: Still anxious
Music: none

My cat is stupid. (But at least he's entertaining. In case you can't tell, he's trying to fight with the neighbor's cat.. through the window.)

I'm on my way out to Alex's to record Otaku no Radio but I wanted to plug in some stuff here before I left. Namely, I finally have the first Otaku no Radio Season One Collection CD done. Complete - as in, ready to sell. Except.. I think it may be delayed further. Woo - I rock! I should definitely work for Manga Ent.

What else? Uh.. nothing else. I just took part in a debate over.. of all things.. fashion.. in the Rotten Tomatoes forums. My god.. I cannot believe the most consecutive posts I've made to a movie forum have been over clothes. *sigh*

More later...

Mood: Anxious
Music: Eminem - Superman


Teenagers are stupid - Part 1. (But at least they're entertaining :P)

I'm listening to this song for no particular reason. Well, actually I guess I am. I just suggested Alex listen to it. He was listening to "Guilty Conscience" and I proposed that 'Superman' was a better selection for misogynistic release. Which means, as you've probably surmised, that Alex had a bad female experience today.

I'm visiting Marisa a week from tomorrow. Valentine's Day. That was an unintentional and horrible, horrible, coincidence. I'm not quite sure how to approach it, so I guess I'll just do what I've been doing. Marisa told me that all her girlfriends keep asking about me because they "need someone" for Valentine's Day. Hmm. Okay. This is going to be a very interesting adventure either way though. It'll be fun to see if I can actually find my way to the college. It's about 3 1/2 hours away. Maybe I'll bring my camera and narrate my harrowing adventure there.

I just hope to God that those Yahoo! directions are accurate. They look good, and aren't too complex. I think I'll make it okay. My mom just thinks I'll get lost and learn the hard way that things aren't as easy as I make them out to be - so now I have to prove her wrong! heh :P

Eek.. I just noticed that the way the above topic flowed from the Alex topic may seem a little misleading. The 'misogynist song' didn't purposely lead to Marisa ^_^;

I start working again in a few weeks.. which is both good and bad. Bad for obvious reasons (it's work) and good because I get to see more of my work friends - and also because I get MONEY. "Everyone likes money - that's why it's called money." (<- I don't actually get this joke, but Roger Ebert apparently thinks it's great.. wait, what was I talking about?). I need new jeans, new clothes, and a new camcorder. My jeans have tears in the thighs, and although it looks okay now I really want some new pairs of the Gap rustic boot-cut jeans (my favorite).

Tomorrow I'm either going to see a movie during the day, or perhaps finish up my CD cover designs. Oh shit - that reminds me, I need to do the Otaku no Radio CDs. Fuck. Okay - I know what I'm doing tomorrow afterall.

Mood: Irritated
Music: Nelly - Dilemma

I have a confession to make: I enjoy American Idol. Yes, that's right, I am hooked on American Idol this season. I started off just watching the auditions because they were so depressingly hilarious that I could not turn them off. Seriously - how could some of these people not know just how bad they sucked? I know your voice sounds different in your head than it does to others - but damn, if you're going to go tryout to be an American Idol, wouldn't you check your voice on a recording? How can people be this dense?

So yeah, I just was going to watch the auditions to watch Simon and Company make fun of the horrible singing. It was an interesting sociological event. I felt bad for the people who sang their hearts out - but were just sooooo bad. Because they really thought they were good. And they weren't, and Simon told them so. To see their dreams shatter in their eyes, it's heartbreaking. But many times I just had to laugh at how pathetic the whole thing was. But then when someone sang, and sang well - the joy in their face when they were told they made it through that round, it made me smile. It made me happy.

Simon is my new hero. I wish I had a British, or Scottish, or even Irish, accent. That'd be cool.

But yeah, anyway, they began eliminating the last 32 contestants this week. And wow - the girl I picked to win is ALREADY OFF! Nooooo! How can this be? I think the problem was that there were 3 good singers in the first batch of 8 - and only 2 could make it, so the American public freaked out and knocked off the one that definitely should have been there. Ah well.

God. I cannot believe I just ranted about American Idol. I am such a mope ^_^;

I'll have more interesting stuff tomorrow. But I'm tired now. I'm gonna go play Max Payne. I've beaten Normal and Hard Boiled modes... time to try 'The Ultimate Test' - althoug recently I discovered the cheat codes, so I'm mostly just playing it to kill everyone I can. >:)

Oh - and I am waaaay too eager to see The Matrix Reloaded. I didn't even like the original, but I am very excited by the trailers for Reloaded. I mean, sickeningly excited. The chase on the highway looks incredible. And the fight scene in the mansion (looks like that anyway) - awesome. Hope the movie's the same.

Mood: Sleepy
Music: Menthol - Strange Living

Well, it would seem that LiveJourney.com is officially dead. Which is too bad, because it really was a nice service with some great features. I enjoyed my time there. It's kind of funny that they closed down when they did, because I was just thinking about how unstable it seemed. That is, it was a free service that offered web logs - whereas many web log servers are either pay or ad supported. I had a feeling it might disappear without warning, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

So, now I'm with Blogger - which in some ways is vastly superior to LiveJourney - and in some ways not as good. I've more or less spent the last week and a half trying to make a few relatively simple edits to the Blogger template with very, very, little luck. So either I'm just stupid and missing something obvious (which is a distinct possibility) or perhaps Blogger's got a lot of kinks in it that haven't been worked out. Either way, they seem more established and... solid. So hopefully this will last longer. And I think I've finally gotten the hang of it.
