Episode 26: Hey, At Least He's Persistant

(Copyright 2001 - 2005 Brian Clevinger. Some images are property of Square-Enix.)

Hey guys!!! How is everybody? ^_^ I'm a bit sore, but not as bad as I thought I'd be LOL

Yep. Whole day yesterday, stuck at Mike's.......We painted all morning, and well into the afternoon. And what sucks the most: we've still got a bit more to do >< Yesterday we did his entire first floor: the living room, the kitchen, Mike's office, the bathroom, the dining room, and the halls. We still have the upstairs (consisting of the 2 bedrooms, the spare room, and the halls). Luckily, though, it appears that part 2 will not be happening today, so, today is relaxing day ^___^ After the painting foray, I got stuck staying at Mike's until after dinner/the stupid Red Sox game :( Of course, though, once I did get home, the rest of my night was spent with the person I love more deeply than any other, Kathy ^_____^

Well, as for today, I don't really have anything planned. I know that at some point I'd like to get back down to the career center and grab a job list to see if anything's come up. Last week's list was a joke >< pretty much everything required "x amount of years of experience"....Let's see....anything else? Hmmmm.....Well, I might get around to recording up 8 Bit Theater Episode 2 for you, but.....I'm not making any promises ^_~ I'll probably try and get a chunk of Star Ocean played too, considering the last I heard, the game's 120 hours long O_O Oh, and I just might start my new AMV *coughcoughAdventChildrencoughcough*

Alright, well, that's all for me today ^_^ Take care everybody, and I'll talk to you all dusunnuf (tomorrow ^_~)!! Luv you guys!!!! - Triple J

Hey everybody!!!!! I bring you........BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^____________^

Well, yesterday morning I was finally able to SEE Advent Children!!!!!! And OMFG, you guys must get this the second its released over here!!!!!!!!! There are no words that can describe its awesomeness ^^

After watching AC, I got stuck going to help my mom and Mike out with cleaning the church.....lotsa vacuuming >< After that, was home for maybe a half hour, then headed to Mike's the rest of the day......yeah, that was it. Talk about a sucky day, huh?

Oh, and of course I talked to Kathy ^_^ for like 6 hours O___O. I love her to death!!!!!!!!!

Today's gonna suck too.....my mom decided to "volunteer" my services to Mike, so now, I'm stuck going to his house painting all day......

Alright, well, I for once am out of things to say, so, I'll so you all tomorrow ^_^ Luv you guys!!!! *huggles* - Triple J

Episode 22: Mission Accomplished!

(Copyright 2001 - 2005 Brian Clevinger. Some images are property of Square-Enix.)

Hey guys! Boy is it ever Monday.....Nothing really all that exciting to report to you today ^_^ Went to a few yard sales in the morning. I was able to pick up the original Legacy Of Kain: Blood Omen for a buck, so WOOOOT!!!!!!! Came home for a little bit and watched Gantz Volume 2, and then, pretty much the rest of my day was spent stuck over Mike's. It wasn't a total loss, though, cuz while my mom was helping him clean (he's the laziest person I know), I got to log some time into Star Ocean!!!! The battle system in that game is a bit weird compared to other RPGs, but I think I'm finally starting to adjust to it ^_^

Let's see....plans for the future......plans for the future......Well, tomorrow's Tuesday, so you all know what to expect ^_~ (actually, you really should, I told you yesterday LOL) And, um.....I'll probably gonna try and get working on Episode 2 of my 8-Bit dub, so, expect that fairly soon.

Oh! And I finally finished downloading Advent Children this morning!!!!!!!!!!! *runs around like a maniac* Now, the counting begins, because I have made a vow to try and watch AC everyday......yeah, not to positive myself if I can pull something like that off, but hey, it's fun to say/try ^_~

Alrighty then. I'll takeith my leave of you all and shall see you all for Theme-change Tuesday!!!!! Love and-uh peace-uh!!!!!! - Triple J

Episode 20: The Quest To Assault The Elderly Continues!

(Copyright 2001 - 2005 Brian Clevinger. Some images are property of Square-Enix.)

Hey everybody!!! How are you guys doing? I'm slightly on the tired side right now (stayed up until 2 A.M. chatting with my sweetheart ^_^), but should be good as new as soon as I shake of the sleepys ^^

Yesterday was.....BUSY!!!

Alright, well, first off, I dunno if you guys remeber or not, but a couple weeks ago I got volume 1 of the anime Gantz....turns out that Ryan has volumes 1-5. So yesterday, I gave him a call to see if I could borrow volume 2 from him. He said sure, one problem: Chris or Jared has it.....15 minutes later he was at my door telling me to get in the car LOL

Now, I have never met Chris OR Jared, but that didn't stop Ryan from dragging me to both of their houses.....First we went to Chris's, got no answer. Walked across the street to Jared's (literally), tore apart his bedroom (he just kinda stared at me O_O), only to discover that he didn't have the DVD, but Chris did. So we went back over to Chris's and knocked on the door for 10 minutes till he finally woke the hell up (this was at 1 in the afternoon!!!!)

So, finally got Gantz Volume 2, but Ryan ended up chatting with him for a bit (D&D LOL) and afterwards he took me down to the mall. We went to FYE to see if any anime caught my eye, but they really didn't have anything, so we went to the ever so great, Gamestop. After much contemplating and looking around, I decided upon Star Ocean Till The End Of Time!!!!!



Walked around the mall for a while longer, and ended up running into this guy we knew from high school. *cough cough pathetic loser now cough cough* After the mall romp, we grabbed some food at Wendy's, and came back to my house for a bit. I TRIED to get a hold of Kat, but she was out LOL

Yeah, so we ended up at his house the rest of the night ^_^ I started playing Star Ocean. I played for, I think an hour, and 45 minutes of it were cutscenes ROFL Stopped to watch toonami. Naruto kicked ass!!!! *does a celebratory dance because Dave Whittenberg is the BEST Kakashi!!!!* And then, at 10:30, came.............BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



If you guys are into completely senseless, random, off-the-wall humor, then you HAVE to watch Bobobo!!!!!! FEAR THE NOSEHAIRS!!! Are you fearing them? Good! *cough coughBOBOBOTHEMECOMINGTHISTUESDAYcoughcough*

We taped Bobobo, too. And, boy are we glad we did....we rewatched it twice ROFL And, yeah, after that, I finally got home, and chatted with my dear, sweet Kathy for awhile ^__^

And now, I think I've gone on too long (and I'm sure 9/10 aren't even reading this anyway) So.....*grabs staple gun and staples mouth shut*........*mumbles "see you guys tomorrow"* - Triple J

Episode 18: We've All Been There

(Copyright 2001 - 2005 Brian Clevinger. Some images are property of Square-Enix.)

Kuut sunhehk ajanouha! Ruf yna oui dutyo? (Good morning everybody! How are you today? ^___^) I'm doing pretty good, just a tad sore ^_~

Got to Mike's yesterday for 8:30. Before we started any work or anything, we went out for some breakfast at DENNY'S!!!! WOOOOOT!!!! *cough cough* After that, we headed over to Home Depot to try and pick up some sort of shelf to put some of the miscellaneous little crap on up in the attic. Got back to Mike's around 10, then got to work. Finished with all the moving/rearranging around 2.....then I got sucked into staying there cuz Mike was "too tired" to bother bringing me home.....so, I was stuck there until my mom came for dinner.

Finally got home a little after 6:30, where I logged onto YIM and awaited Kat to get home ^_^ I only got to chat with her for around an hour, but hey, even if I only get to talk to her for 1 minute, I'll be happy ^_^ She had to leave cuz she was going to a Styxx concert ^^

And....that about does it for my recap. On to today! I asked you guys yesterday if you wanted to see my horrible attempt at voice acting with my 8 Bit Theater "movies".....They're done in Windows Movie Maker, simply with just shots of the comics, and me making an attempt to add life to the characters.....well, it seems like the overwhelming consensus is "please, Josh, show us how pathetic you are" so....without further adeu:

Episode 16: The Quest To Assault The Elderly!

(Copyright 2001 - 2005 Brian Clevinger. Some images are property of Square-Enix.)

Hey everybody! I only have 5 minutes before I gotta split, so, its time to type fast! ^_^ Ready....GO!!!

Let's see.....yesterday was nothing too big. Spent the morning waiting for Mike to show his lazy ass up.....I swear, in terms of arrival time, he's the real life Kakashi. He had called me at 10:00 and told me he'd be there within an hour......didn't get here until a little after 12!! Well, spent the afternoon helping him clean up his attic, getting it ready for today. Today, we're moving all the shit we had brought up from the basement up to its new permanent home. Yeah, happy fun times are ahead today ^_~

Hmmmm, in other news, it is 100% official, Ryan is Satan incarnate......Yeah, we all knew that before, but now, there's conclusive evidence: yesterday Ryan had to go to court because of this car accident he caused.....now, normally, for something like this, Ryan should have been fined around $3000......that son of a bitch walked out with a slap on the wrists.....$100!!!!!!

And, yeah. That be about it ^_^ Except for the fact that I talked to Kat for the usual 3-4 hours. Speaking of which, her new AMV is all finished!!! I suggest you get your butt over to her site (click the link above ^_~) and check it out! ^^ Alrighty, I'll see you guys tomorrow!!! Love ya like Naruto loves ramen!! *huggles* - Triple J

Question: If I made movies out of each episode of 8 Bit Theater with me doing voice acting for all of the characters and put it up on the site, would you guys watch it? (I've actually already made Episode 1 ^_~ Just wanna know your opinions before I completely embarass myself ^^)

Currently Listening To: "Stricken" - Disturbed
Mood: In between morning sleepiness and hyperness ^_^

Hey everybody! How are you all? I hope you're doing well ^^ *huggles*

Yesterday turned out to be a tad stressful. Spent a good chunk of the day at the hospital with my mom. She's got a wicked bad stomache virus that may have been caused by food poisoning. I got sick myself listening to her throw up all morning, so I screamed at her to get her butt into the car and get checked out. So, yeah, between the hospital and the usual visit to Mike's house in the afternoon/evening, my day was shot.

And then, when I finally get home and think I'm finally gonna have some enjoyment (chatting with Kat ^_^), my bro informs me that he needed the puter to type up a stupid lab report. So, very reluctantly, I let him do his work......course, things didn't get any better from there, though. At quarter past 8, my front door burst open....and who do you think I saw standing there? If you guessed Satan, then you're not too far off ^_~ Ryan's got the day off today, so he got stuck working a late shift last night, from 10 to 1, and since his work is pretty much down the road from my house, he invited himself over......That didn't exactly go very well, cuz as soon as my bro finished typing, he immediately jumped in the puter seat......and had access to YIM.....and Kathy......

Well, I don't think he did too too much damage last night. I even physically hit him for the first time ROFL Under normal circumstances, I am not a violent guy in any way, shape, or form (I truly think fighting is pointless....) but.....when he had first signed into YIM, I saw that he didn't immediately specify that it was him on and not me....and he had said "hey, babe".....something I would never say...then I saw what he was typing next.....something I am NOT going to repeat right now....but to give you an idea of what he was about to send to her, I immediately ran over to him and smacked him as hard as I could on the back of the head (normally, I just make the threats, cuz if I get anywhere near him, he bites LOL) This time, I got him by surprise, so, he got a nice swift smack ^_^ Course.....that didn't go unchecked, as he proceeded to attack me with a giant bag of kettle korn O_O Well, he did have the decency to delete what he had been typing, and like I mentioned before, seemed to keep mild. When I found out that Kat was studying, though, I SCREAMED at him to get the hell away from her ^_^

When he finally had to leave for work, I was still able to get in a little time with my sweetheart before heading to bed ^___^

*looks up at long post* Why is it that evertime I wanna keep things short and sweet, I end up with something like this? *puts head in hands* Sorry guys, didn't intend to go off like that LOL If any of you actually read it, thank you, it means a lot to know that you care, and as a reward *more huggles and some cookies*. If you didn't read it......SCREW YOU!!! ^_~ I'll catch y'all tomorrow!! Love & peace!!!! - Triple J
