I need a Master Plan.
That's just something I've decided. It doesn't have to be world-changing or evil or anything, but I need some form of plot to do something that will take a long time and lots of planning. Preferably, it would get noticed by at least a decent amount of people.

Unfortunately, this really requires a large degree of imagination, a department that I painfully lack in. But perhaps I can think up something or other. Maybe getting a penguin lodged in Mick Jagger's throat, or causing every cow in the Western hemisphere to jump a fence at once. It'd have to be something you could possibly accomplish by many different means, all of which would take many steps and phases to accomplish over a period of many years. It'd make for a kick-ass autobiography, that's for sure.

*winces*
I had heard all the talk about the PS3, and I decided to go check out some pictures of it.



...



In terms of form-over-function and sheer hideousness, this puts the Xbox 360 to shame. And I thought that it was going to be the ugliest console to ever hit the market.

If Nintendo doesn't pull through with something better, I think I'm gonna hurl.

Baron: Thou art the man. Thanks. ^_^

Mimmi: Yeah, for some reason I get a huge kick out of lost-in-translation moments. XP

Rusty: Simplicity in computers = weakness.

Alan: Crap! I forgot that you Maccies go out of your way to make things even suckier than Windows. And what do you mean I'm fucked for gaming options? You've got a freaking iBook, man.

Nope, still haven't found that code.
If you know it, do tell me.

Today was my last day of school, and I'd like to say that I'm completely relieved, but the gravity of never having to go to that horrid school again hasn't, as most things usually don't for a while, hit me yet. It'll probably come when I find that I don't have school for more than two days in a row.

Not that feeling the impact of the situation is too important to me this time around. I don't really plan on feeling much of any regret or sadness, anyway. I despised living in this town, and was daily agitated by almost everyone in it. Hays--although it is, as Mimmi pointed out, still in Kansas--appears to be lightyears ahead of Ottawa in overall awesomeness. Not saying all that much, but hey, I'm not hard to satisfy.

So yes. Laptops at Hays High. IBooks, maybe, but laptops nonetheless. When I get mine, I hope to pick up a copy of Fable for it, and maybe eventually Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Splinter Cell is awesome.

While I'm on the subject of games, I just read an article about the new Zelda. That, I'm feeling more and more certain, is going to be the game that makes me buy a Gamecube. Er, when the prices go down, that is. >_>

Oh! And Guild Wars, while I'm at it. Actually, I should probably put that at the top of my list. Guild Wars, then Fable, then Chaos Theory (or Pandora Tomorrow, if I have to).

If I do end up getting Guild Wars (translation: if my dad lets me), it's gonna be awesome. I absolutely adore the glowy-ness of it. It's like some kind of bug light for me. And then, of course, there's playing with all the chums from around here. That'll be fun.

So yes, my dad and I will head off to Hays again tomorrow for another visit, and soon I will be shaking the grimy coat of Ottawa off of me and leaving it for a bright(er), new future. *triumphant pose*

Obviously not finished yet. I need to remember how to fix the background in one place.

Soy un perdedor
So it turns out that OU was leasing the computers at their offices, and it just so happens that right as I was going to save the badass lightsaber duel I made on Pivot to a disk, the lease (a three-year lease, mind you) went up and my dad got a new computer. Sans lightsabers. Yeah.

So we haven't gotten the internet to work on it yet, and that's why I haven't been around commenting and such, and why I now sit at the library, listening to crappy music being blared at unheard-of levels through the headphones of the chick next to me.



Sometimes I hate technology.

Watch as John once again makes a stupefyingly short post about something else on the internet!
That something else being some of the great game ideas that Sean Howard has about innovative ways to use the Nintendo DS's two screens and stylus. This guy's probably got one of the most creative minds I've ever encountered, and I'm not even interested in getting a DS.

Looks like Dogpile is starting to make a strong advertising press.
Which is good, so long as they don't start doing popups. Dogpile is a good search engine, you all should try it out.

OH HELLS YEAH!!!
Bad mood gone! Exclamation marks abound!

I was trying to introduce myself to a punk band called No Use For A Name via probably illegal downloads from search engines, but instead I found something that I had totally given up hope of finding a long time ago.

I've talked about my love of college radio, haven't I? Yes, I believe I have. Well, on the station back in Ruston, very, very, late one night (commas abound!), I heard a song that I assumed was from Gorillaz, because it sounded a great deal like them. I searched and searched and searched for it, but couldn't find it anywhere. Tonight, though, I finally found it.

It was actually by a group called Cyberpunks, and the song's title is Del The Funky Homosapien. It's such an awesome song. I'm going to listen to it ten thousand times in a row. *dies of glee*

I am a very angry person.
My dad was just reading an article about how Terrell Jones, a football player, thinks he should get a hefty pay raise since his team won the Superbowl last year. It goes without saying, though, that he's already got a 7-year contract for $50 million, and that just pisses me right off.

But I mean, it's not like half of the human race is in poverty, or like farmers and people who actually do things for society are bending over backwards to squeeze by with twenty thousand a year. Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be mad. After all, the average American certainly isn't blessed or anything to be living with more spare change on them than many, many people make in a day's work or to have the right to file for bankruptcy if they need to.
