God, what a mess this journal is.  Since my last entry, my mom and my grandpa have both died.

Mom was really working to get her shit together.  Her last message to me was just one of love and concern.  I... don't think I am the person I used to be.  There is a lot of love and joy in my life that I couldn't foresee.  And I'm happy being alone/single ( Read more... )

I just watched, for the first time in years, the last AMV I made and I'm actually pretty happy with it. For a long time I felt it was missing something, but I think I was mostly disappointed that I followed the story of the anime instead of making a new story out of it. It felt lazy. But the editing is probably the smoothest, most consistent ( Read more... )

About 12 hours after a prophetic troll on Wikipedia falsely claimed that Ronnie James Dio had died, one of the founding fathers of metal lost his battle with stomach cancer. It sucked losing Peter Steele a month ago, but Dio has been a huge influence on singers throughout the genre, and was the only one worthy of picking up Ozzy's mantle after he ( Read more... )

Wasn't sure I'd ever see a serious comic parody. Defendor does a great job, though.

If you're a fan of comic book heroes with a sense of humor, watch this movie. Or if you're just a fan of satire ( Read more... )

I still don't get how Robert Downey Jr. didn't win an award for Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder. He's really shone as an actor lately, but that was one of his best roles. Blast Hollywood.

I want to edit again. =\ I've got a lot of time and so much music I want to use, but I've been out of it for so long. I'm not even a viewer anymore, really. I check the Announcement forum every couple weeks for editors I know, and sometimes watch those. But so much anime has come out in my leave of absence I couldn't know where to begin. I ( Read more... )

I bought Band Hero a few weeks ago, so I could get the drum set to work with the other Guitar Hero games. The setlist mostly sucks, but I stumbled on "You Had Me" by Joss Stone. I normally avoid popular artists, but I decided to play it because of the sample it played. I play everything on Expert, and the guitar for the song nearly had my hand ( Read more... )

I don't do political posts often. I had to queue up Megadeth just to write this ( Read more... )

Sunshine is like Armageddon gone right.

Great movie, everyone watch it.

I am really ready for winter to be over with.

Just over a month to go, now.
