6:19PM - You're Gonna Carry That Weight...

He was just all alone. He couldn't enjoy a game with anyone else. Like living in a dream... That's the kind of man he was...

5:39AM - It Seem's Appropriate

After a quarter century in this world I still don't know a lot of frelling things I should. But I know enough to say that every birthday I get to see is a blessing. Peace be to you friends.

10:03PM

When you finally, truly,and completely hit the absolute bottom; that's when you become free.

9:15PM - The Galaxy Is A Large And Interesting Place...

It took only three day's for Mass Effect to sink it's claw's deep into me. To say it's the best game this year is a gross understatement of the term. My only problem has been that it took me two days to realize my character was not the one I wanted and start over again. However, their is something very exciting and cinematic about this game. I feel like the director of my own sci- fi epic. One starring a gorgeous female hero in a lesbian relationship with an alien (although technically her race is omni- sexual so they have no real males). Besides that juicy sub- plot, my favorite aspect of the game is my companions, or posse, as I call them. Other than my alien lesbian psychic companion; I have an alien cop, another female soldier with a deep faith in God that comes off as realistic, a male psychic who i shot down in the first ten minutes of the game, this weird alien chick in a mask who I feel like's engine's just a tad too much(think Kaylee from Firefly/Serenity), and my favorite, SharkHead. That's not his name but he looks like a walking shark, so that's what I see. Moral choices are constantly being brought up in the game and not just as cut and dry as "kill the bad guy" or "spare him because that's what good guy's do". This game in part represents what I love about video games and sci- fi in general, asking pertinent questions without seeming preachy. So far it's been a hell of a ride, and i look forward to where it takes me.


Oh and Seth Green as a wisecracking badass pilot is a win all the way.

2:23PM - Finding me this movie = EPIC WIN !!!!!!!!!!

seriously... if you find me a copy of this I will pay my weight in Gold

10:50PM - For My Enemies...

11:40PM - I Hate To Tell You This...

But if you can watch this and not immediately want to see this movie, you eat puppies...

7:29PM

2:35AM - regarding that show I love...

It's been a long time since I've done this, but I'm going to concede. Heroes, you have bested me. I am now officially in it for the long term. I expect that the ride will be sweet and we will have bread...

7:15PM - It Would Have Worked ...

So a couple weeks ago I read that Robert Rodriguez was going to direct the remake of the movie Barbarella, which would star his new girlfriend Rose Mcgowan. Now,naturally I was really excited at this paring. Barbarella requires an oxymoron of control and over-the-top from the director, something which Rodriguez excels at. Look at Planet Terror,From Dusk 'til Dawn, and Sin City if you need any proof of that. Rose Mcgowan is never going to be seen standing at a podium accepting an Oscar,however within a certain genre she works very well. That genre happens to be over-the-top fantasy/sci-fi realm. Planet Terror and Charmed(their was a marathon on and I was bored) are both prime examples.
Now today I come home from my class and find that my world has come to an end. Universal,who were budgeting the flick,decided to drop the film. And what was their excellent reasoning? They felt that Mcgowan could not carry a film and wanted the Rodgriguez to cast a bigger name like Jessica Alba or Halle Berry.
Wow.Just Wow. This is why I hate Hollywood so much some time. Halle Berry is the Marisa Tomei of our era. If you don't get that reference,Tomei won an Oscar for My Cousin Vinny. Read that sentence again and consider what a weak year it must have been for her to take the prize. Also take a look at the rest of her movies(except that one with Christian Slater as the guy with a baboon heart,gets me every time) and you can see why she's seen as a fluke. Now look at Halle Berry. Was she great in Monster's Ball? No question. But the rest of her career has been spotty at best. Add into that the fact that she has never done well in the sci-fi realm, and that includes X-men, and I see nothing but disaster.
Jessica Alba on the surface seems very similar to Mcgowan. They're both hot women who do fairly well in the genre.However Alba has always traded more on her looks than her acting ability, although she has fairly good timing for physical comedy. Mcgowan reminds me a lot of an Elvira like character which works a cheesy movie like Barbarella.
Rodriguez has claimed that the real reason the studio dropped the film was budget concerns, but I think he's being nice on this one. Barbarella should be an over-the-top romp. Instead it'll probably be the second coming of Doom. I hate you Hollywood, you are made completely of fail.

Current mood: pissed off

Current music: my teeth grinding

12:25AM - It's Only The Fourth Episode !!!

Goddamn I love this show. Best.Season.Ever. Oh and happy B-day to myself and the Lady Effie.

6:09PM - Little assistance please...

Yeah, so I missed Heroes last night. Incidently I was in a meeting trying to get my own comic off the ground. I have some theories about where the show is going but I really need someone to fill me in on last night. So yeah, help would be very appreciated...

10:10PM - Heroes

God I love this show...

12:20AM - Call Me In The Morning....

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility." - Khalil Gibran

3:22PM - The Union of Opposites

School starts tomorrow and I'm overjoyed. My family is falling apart, not so much with the happy....













I'm gonna consider this a test...

1:57AM - "Could be worse... It could be raining"

When it rains it pours. My car is dead yet again. I can no longer use my AAA and I just had to push it down the block. Tomorrow I'll try to work some more magic, but I think even I can get her to run again it'll only be for awhile. Coupe that with the apparent death of Serenity(my truck) and this is not my year for cars.

On a more hopeful note. I'm reaching out to my artist friends and those who who know artists. I'm looking for artists(specifically those who do sequential) to help me with my comic book, since I am currently without an artist. I've also decided that I want to start my own comic company, so if you or anyone you know is interested in drawing horror, fantasy, and mythology based comics, let me know.


Since I haven't said it in awhile..... May Shai' Hulud watch over you

Current mood: morose

Current music: AFI- God called in sick today

You Are a Visionary Soul

You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness. Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul. You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable. Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings. You have great vision and can be very insightful. In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself. Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend. You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer. Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul
