February 23rd

May 25th

So I just got done reading, a bunch of roads and bridges in Boston were closed down today because of some light up promotional stuff for Aqua Teen Hunger Force was thought to be bombs. Apparently someone saw it flashing and thought it was a terrorist attack or something. There were like nine of them planted all over the city.

It's so funny because the "device", is Ur giving you the finger. It looks like a Lite Brite or something.

I just got done building my very first skeleton in Maya.

I think I might be able to do this.

I just saw a kid in the hallway who looks like Nick Zinner.

Dreamy McDreamy Pants

Also WHAT!?

Sharks are creepy, end of story.

I'm so stressed. I hate working in 3D so much, sometimes I wonder why I even got into animation. I hate the fact that my school specializes in primarily in that medium and that I can't get into any 2D classes until I pass my 3D ones.

I hate the fact that I want to do well in it just so my GPA wont suffer from my incompetence.

I just want to fucking draw.

I hate Maya, I hate 3DS Max, I hate my school.

I hate that the weekends to work on my homework is so short.

I hate that once I come home my concentration is shot but when I'm at school the only thing I can think of is getting out of there.

Hate, hate, hate.

I hate that everything I do is so half-assed that once I'm finished with it I don't even want to look at it.

I just feel like getting drunk and fucking stuff up, but I hate the fact that I feel I'm wasting precious work time in doing so.

I just want to graduate and move to New England with Peter. I'm ready for a location change.

Someplace with more trees.

Debbie is missing, he's never stayed out this long before, especially with the weather. He got out sometime last night and hasn't come home yet, not even for food.

He's a fat ass, he always comes back for food. Sometimes he'll get out and I'll look out our window, down the stairs and I won't see him. I'll wander into the kitchen and pour a bowl of food and within seconds he'll be at our door meowing. I don't know how he does it.

He broke his collar off the other day, so he doesn't have any contact information on him. He does have a little polka-dotted scarf, but that wont help any if he's been catnapped or worse...

:'(

Here's a picture I made for him a while ago:



If anybody sees this cat, let me kmow.

I went and saw the Rollergirls tonight and it was fucking sweet. That is definietly a sport I could get into, screw all that hockey baseball crap, watching girls on rollerskates attack eachother is way better, hands down. My favorite was a girl named Jawbreaker, she was pretty fucking good. Our team killed Nebraska's, the final score was 195 to like 28.

Halfway through Peter and I sorta started cheering for Nebraska sometimes, they had the littlest Jammer(the girl who scores the points), she probably weighed like 90 lbs and couldn't get anywhere, it was sad watching her get knocked down. You could tell her spirit was broken. Peter wanted to take her home so we could fatten her up. I suggested constantly leaving food on the counter for her, like we do with our cats, except in her case it would probably be a cheeseburger.

Zebra Zebra played at "halftime" and they were super shitty, everyone booed them (except for Peter and me, cause that's totally mean) and cheered when they got off stage. I was not impressed with their gimmicks, like the terrible haircuts, the keyboardist dressed in neon clothing, or the one guy who didn't do anything except dance around on stage. That was alllll he did, just danced, and don't be mistaken, it wasn't even good dancing. It was the kind of dancing you do when you know you're acting like an asshole.

But now I have to get back to my homework-o-thon. Finals are joyous.

I got my new earrings today.

That is all.

Also, I miss summertime.

End transmission-

Not to point out the obvious or anything, but Gwen Stefani is terrible.

Peter wanted to hear her new song and we've been on a Gwen Stefani downloading kick ever since. It's a festival of awful. What she makes now barely counts as music. It's all sporadic backbeat, with her talking over half the track until she gets to the hook; in which she probably mentions her clothing line somewhere.

Also, I accidentally spelled her name with a "u" at the end, instead of an "i", and it was really funny for some reason. Peter and I were so tickled by it, thinking of Gwen's altenate personality starting alternate clothing lines and kidnapping alternate asian girls.

If Gwen Stefani was a Mario Kart character, Gwen Stefanu would be an unlockable extra. She'd have a gold grill and a white daisy duke track outfit with a red stripe going down the sides.

Shari just came into the library and told me that black people didn't like the original Star Wars becuase there was no black people in them (neglecting Lando of course).

How can people get so wrapped up in race? I wouldn't not watch a movie just because there wasn't any white people in it.

She's borrowing the DVDs so she can watch A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back for the first time tonight. She told me she didn't want to see them when she was younger because it looked like there was no black people in the future. There's barely even any humans in the movie. If she's looking for diversity it's everywhere.

When George Lucas was creating the movies I don't think he was going for a realistic view of the future, or I suppose it would technically be the past.

But Lando, LANDO!!! He is a black man! Just because there wasn't a black guy in the first movie she discredits all three?

*Sigh* I guess some people just need an excuse to bitch. Besides what does she know? She's more of a trekkie anyway, even though I don't believe her. She said Star Trek appealed more to her because of Nichelle Nichols and that it was more peaceful. More peaceful? I wanted to ask her what Star Trek she was watching.

Maybe I'm not being sensitive enough to the times, but her reasoning just seemed a bit absurd...

LYNSEE SPOTTING 2006!

Twilight Princess=AMAZING

It's everything that you knew Zelda could be. This game is serously blowing my mind, it delivers all the stuff that makes up a Zelda game, but presents it in a different manner. For instance, I stumbled into a potion shop and didn't know it. It was just some beat down stand in the middle of the forest, I approached a bird with an afro and he told me to look over his goods. There were none of the tradmark potion bottles anywhere, so I was like, "What's he selling?" The potion, thick and bubbly, was being kept in two large animal skinned cauldron type things. You scooped it out yourself with an empty bottle! YOU SCOOPED IT OUT YOURSELF!! For some reason this was so exciting to me, I guess it's beacuse after years, and years, and years, and years, of playing Zelda, not once were you able to fetch your own potion. It was always just presented to you, floating ever so magically above your head or in your hands, but this was the first real time the potion was attainable. Link could have touched it if he wanted to, dipped his finger in, or got his face real close. NO LONGER IS POTION BEHIND THE COUNTER!! Don't even get me started on the Deku Seeds. I swoon!

Also, you can be a wolf, which kinda sounds cheesy at first, but it's done so well and it brings in some really interesting gameplay. Very fun, very cool.

I was going to pull an all nighter to play it, but I got tripped up in the beginning and it took me a LOONNNNNGGGGG time to figure something out. So I figured I'd play alttle, but not save, so I could start again from the beginning without that hideous time blemish on my save file. Thus making it totally retarded to play all night since it would be for nothing.

Ooooh I can't wait til after school tomorrow, I'm gonna play allllllllll night.

Also, Joe Frank doesn't like "A Link to the Past" (my favorite)

W-T-F!? WTF!!!!

Before I go to bed I just want to add, that while thus far the Wii has exceeded my expectations, I am as of right now, severely disappointed by the virtual console. You buy "Wii Points" with your credit card, which is okay. It's ten bucks for 1000 points and it goes: NES=500 points, SNES=800 points, N64=1000 points, Genesis=800 points, TurboGrafx-16=600 points(somebody name me a game from that, without aid of the internet. Tuffington, I'm looking at you.)

Maybe I'm just cheap, but those prices seem a little steep to me. I mean, who wants to pay 10 bucks for a downloaded version of Super Mario 64? If I were purchasing a physical cartridge it would be another story, those are actually produced and take effort to distribute, but to charge ten dollars for something that technically isn't even there, seems a little much.

Has anybody ever read The Unbearable Lightness of Being?

Guess who's 46 year old mother just stood in line for roughly 8 hours to buy her daughter a Nintendo Wii and Zelda: Twilight Princess for Christmas? And then offered to make an hour trip, at three in the morning, to hand deliver it (to which the daughter said 'no')?

Best. Mom. Ever.

I sit here on my computer and I just don't see the point anymore.

I spent the whole weekend in the conservative south hearing how proud he was of me from people I have never even met before, and I wish there was something more I could do for him. Something more than a pathetic tattoo that he never even got to see. I loathe this tattoo now, it's a $350 lie.

Not to sound trite, but nobody will ever understand how much I loved that man. It might as well have been my mother laid out in that casket with me pouring tears over her cold rigored face. A face that was so finely make-uped that I half expected him to sit up and ask for a beer, except that his hands were so shrivled and stiff that you knew the rosary was the last thing he would ever hold.

He wasn't meant for this world, he was a cowboy. He belonged in the old west where men were men, and a handshake meant more to anybody than a binding contract. His handshake was his word and that was better than any legal document. His voice was rough and weathered from the radiation of years before and it was unmistakable. If you ever had the pleasure of hearing it, chances are it is burned into your memory.

My heart is broken, so when you ask me how I am and I say fine, just know I'm lying. I am never going to be fine, so it's best to avoid the subject all together. When you see me in the hallways, act like nothing ever happened and I'll do the same. Everything is normal.

Everything is perfect.

Everything is normal and perfect, and I couldn't be any sadder.

P.S. He left my mom my last birthday card. My birthday isn't until August but he picked it out early because he knew he was going to miss it.

That's the kind of man Dick Hayes was.

I'm in a mood right now.

Today I went shopping and tried to pick out a nice outfit for my grandpa's funeral (with Lindsay's help).

I got pants.

I just got out of the shower and I feel like erasing every part of myself off the internet.

AHHHHHH!! MY EARS!!

How come nobody told me that Tatu did a cover of "How Soon is Now?" by The Smiths?! It's like listening to a twelve year old russian girl trying to out charm Morrissey through broken english and a noticable accent.

"We come to country to remake classic song. Too bad we cannot commit to the instrumentals and hurry along to the parts with words. What we want to do is bastardize it to point where the masses will enjoy our version better before even hearing the original. If you like Charmed you will love our song.

We will kiss for you now, yes?"

The worst part is they all but completely cut out the amazing guitar wail in the background from the original. That guitar wail is one of the things that makes the song! It comes off as sounding more like house techno.

I've been neglecting my computer lately. I opened it up yesterday to clean it and the poor dear was full of dust and hair. I thought I would do something nice for it so I just purchased another gig stick of RAM off newegg.com. That should make us both happy.

I need to buy a new case for it. My motherboard died a while back and I upgraded to a new one with PCI-e but having a new video card left these awful gaps in the back of my case. With having a constantly shedding dog all amounts of dander and what not get back there.

The case I want isn't that expensive as far as cases go, around 70 bucks (minus shipping), so it's not that bad. Like I told Brian, it would be half out of nesessity and half out vanity because the case is very sensual. I've had my eye on it for a while now, I posted pictures of it before.

It feels almost pornographic looking at it. I'll close the browser only to open it again moments later to look at it. Maybe next paycheck I'll get it since I just bought the memory.

Then again that's what I said months ago.
