I am updating my theme. It totally screws up my image posting but I will work on that.

At least now you get to pick a cool wallpaper that will get you into the right mood to read my shitty shit! Unless of course you just use a feed reader. If that is the case, you totally are missing out on pictures of a man in a rubber horse mask drinking a can of gasoline.

I give it a 10.11111112 out of 10.

I’d tell you all to buy it so you can play against me but I think everyone who reads this is in another country. So never mind. I’d give a longer review but I dunno if anyone cares about video games…

ok, never mind…here’s a quick review snippet. Uh….it’s for DS, it’s for kids, but none of these things deter me. The majority of the game is similar to zelda except you do not have a sword or a shield, nor appendages to carry said tools. You are a smiling blue slime (the first enemy in the old dragon warrior games) who can blob around and launch himself at enemies and objects.

The other main parts of the game are the tank battles (which also makes up one hundred percent of the multiplayer component of the game – fun fun fun!), wherein you, or you and a crew of other slimes, man a tank pitted against another tank. You and your crew-mates can load ammo from the supply chutes into the cannons, mount machine guns and fire them, set up traps and defenses in your own tank….

but wait, why would you need to defend your tank? Because not only can you use various objects, like empty treasure chests, catnip, swords, and toys to load your cannons with, but you may also load your crew or yourself, to be launched at (and hopefully infiltrate) the enemy tank. Once inside the enemy tank you can fight the crew mano a mano or just basically fuck their day up by destroying various tank guts, eventually destroying the heart/engine of their tank (which is the condition for victory). This is very fun 2 (or 4) player. Gosh, is it fun.

Here is a pic of me. Someone photographed me today but this wasn’t it. That pic was taken a few weeks ago, when Will and I went to go biking at markham park but almost immediately after we loaded our bikes onto the truck and left, weather began to fight us tooth and nail. big lightning. big. and when this happens in south florida, old people drive like it’s the apocalypse and they don’t know where to go (hell) or how to get there (die already), so they best just drive slowly with their four way flashers and hi-beams on. Also, my friend informs me that … oh boy, we don’t really know how to get there after all. So we begin to turn around after being 95% of the way there. My reasoning was: if we head away from where we think we are going, we at least know where we are heading. It makes no sense now that I type it out.

By the time we get back to my house, it’s not so bad out. It’s still raining like a complete son of a beast but there’s not too much lightning….so as the sun sets we decide to get drenched and bike at the park near my home. That’s where the photo comes from. We were talking about the idea of ‘terror twilight‘, how things are always so weird, epic, and magical during sunset and sunrise, and how presidential addresses traditionally are around these times to make the president seem statuesque, intense, god-like, awe-inspiring (guess televised addresses under artificial light pale in comparison these days)… so hey, why not snap some pics to test the theory.

I’ve been really nocturnal and lazy aside from work lately, and that’s crappy. I don’t possess the self-confidence to become a hermit but some people are really bugging me lately. Not many. But some. So I’ve decided that I should work on that. I like to go and do things with friends…adventures, take photos, ride bikes, make music, drink, climb trees, blah blah. I should be able to do some of these things by myself and still enjoy them (hopefully not the alcohol part). Some of these things I do alone (music, these days) but don’t always want to. I guess the music thing is more like schoolwork for me right now.

p.s. I got the drum machine sampler. eeeeh hehehehe. here is a little taste of me learning on it, the first day. definitely not music, but kinda funny.
