Stuff you hate

Hey, at least they're not bringing back Myst or Black & White.

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO000000000oooooo......

It's going to be a damn FPS!!!

Well X-Com already had an entry into the Shooter genre (3rd rather than 1st, admittedly), X-Com: Enforcer. And, of course, the canceled X-Com: Alliance was to be a first-person shooter. If I recall right, Alliance was supposed to allow the player to jump between squadies, however, in an attempt to combine the strategy elements with the shooter experience.

Will the internet ever be the same again?

With the advent of copyright laws, who knows? They already got it going strong on YouTube.

I'm not a fan of when people are deceptive, but there is a difference (to me at least) between being deceptive and out and out lying.

A person might be deceptive when they say something that might be true but that they don't actually know. A person might be deceptive when they phrase things in such a way so as to encourage the hearer to make the wrong assumptions.

But when someone knows that their statement isn't true, when they know that some of the people they are telling the lie to know that it isn't true, when they don't even have the decency to attempt to go for deception, that's a lie and it gets my ire like little else.

Disaster! There are no more copies of Starcraft II Collector's Edition available! I currently hate myself for waiting so long to make the call.

Keep your eyes peeled for a second issue or for a secondhand resale.

[Thought]

Hasn't the Chrono Series taught you anything? Go recruit a punk rocker, break into the mansion holding this treasure, and save the universe! ... by... playing Starcraft, I guess.

Okay, it isn't a perfect analogy.

I hate the premise that abortion should be illegal for everybody. You wanna not have one yourself, fine. You wanna be with a partner who won't have one, fine. But you wanna outlaw it for everyone? That's not only hella not fine. That's a declaration of war.

I don't think I've ever met or even spoken with someone more unfortunate than you, Sajainta. What can I say? "I'm sorry" doesn't even begin to cover it. I didn't realize how much the injustices in your life weigh on me until I ranted about it for almost an hour to my dad last weekend.

What will you do now?

[ZeaLitY]

Fuck the time value of money. It's fucking black magic witchcraft bullshit not rooted in any kind of real gain in value.

Insomnia. It sneaks up on me when I least expect it. 

[Sajainta]

Insomnia is a bitch.  I've had it for as long as I can remember.  I take two really strong sleeping pills a night, and I still have trouble sleeping.  Sucks.  :/

Pretty soon I'll be back home in the states, and I'll own this:

Which should be a lot of fun with my looping pedal, especially since fuzz is the only kind of distortion pedal I seem to like so far.

I also got this:

Which should make beats and grooves more fun to put together. Plus I got a pair of these to mix and master with:

Throw in my recording interface and I'm ready to just lock myself in a room and have fun messing around for several months.


Which is great, except I still don't have an outprocessing checklist or a date for my final out appointment. I'm not even sure the flight I have scheduled is the one I'll be flying out on. I don't even know what appointments I need to take care of over the next week and a half, all because the guy at separations doesn't really care about his job, never reads his e-mails, and just forgets about you the moment you step out of his office.

It's making me nervous as hell.

But whatever. Once I'm done here, I won't even remember any of the bad things.
