Pokemon Black: Skunk in the Big City. Episode Zero
I said earlier on xyzzysqrl's journal that I was thinking about doing a Sqrl-styled Game Journal when I played Pokemon Black, which I would be moving to once I finished X. Well, I finished up the game content proper and while there's still a bunch of Postgame I intend to poke at, I am already looking towards my playthrough of Black. Hell, I was looking ( Read more... ) -
47 Ronin
Had a bit of time on my hands so I walked down to the Alamo Drafthouse and saw 47 Ronin. It was... okay.
It really wants to be a sweeping Wuxia epic, and nothing is quite there for it. It tries really hard, but the cinematography and characterization just aren't quite there. There are some impressive pieces. There's a great piece where Oishi goes ( Read more... ) -
What a strange start to a day.
Went out to my car for work today and found that my car was broken into. Apparently, by the world's most inept thief. They didn't take anything, apparently they just rifled through my car for loose change. The glove box was dumped on the passenger seat, and they had raked out the garbage under my seats, but didn't take the stereo (And I had ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I played World of Warcraft for six or nine months back in 2007. I am vaugely considering getting back into it, but there are a few things that are keeping me from it. The first is the fact that I own the base game and Burning Crusade, but not Lich King or Cataclysm. A quick look around says that all of the suppliments are still $40 a pop, and $80 ( Read more... ) -
You go 32 years and waddaya get?
I've been coming to the conclusion over the last few years that by and large, the "Your Friends Throw a Birthday Party, perhaps without your knowladge" thing is a lie sold to us by Sitcoms. Or at least it requires certain things, like Friends who value birthdays in general and their own birthday in specific (Those who don't tend to not pay ( Read more... ) -
Culmination
So, Friday I found out my car has another $2000 repair.
Screw it. If I have to put a couple thousand dollars a year into a car, I'd rather it be into a car that works. -
Ah-Oooooh!
I once saw a werewolf drinking a Pina Colada at Trader Vick's. -
What I've been up to
It's been about two months since I updated last, so I figure it's about time to do so. Things have settled for the most part, but now I have alot on my plate.
City of Heroes has released Dark Mirror, the Seventeenth free expansion, in which accusations are made, dark secrets are revealed, and more information about the mysterious dimension of ( Read more... ) -
Fixed my pocketwatch this weekend.
Any old iron, any old iron, any, any, any, old iron?
You look neat - talk about a treat,
You look dapper from your napper to your feet.
Dressed in style, brand new tile,
And your father's old green tie on,
But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain,
Old iron, old iron!
