Dante's Inferno is friggin' awesome.
It is not, however, more awesome than God of War, which it's basically a clone of, but the imagery is cool and the storyline, while decidedly NOT the same as the original poem, is kind of refreshing. It's also "Nintendo hard", even on the easy setting so don't expect a walk in the park... like you would in Hell, but, anyway...
No amount of booze, though, will get the image of Cleopatra's doom-titties out of my brain. |

I'm in dire need of the instrumental version of I'm Past My Prime from Li'l Abner and I can't find one anywhere (well, I did find one, but it's MIDI and it sucks). A karaoke track would be fine, as long as it's close to the Broadway or movie soundtrack. I've been trying to remove the vocals from the actual Broadway soundtrack but when I do it removes everything but the bass line and when I try to use the audio that I got from YouTube vocal remove isn't even an option since the track is in mono, not stereo.
Any assistance would be REALLY appreciated.
I may need to get my hands on the sheet music and work with a live band if I can't find it. |

Well, I do know why, actually. I've skipped two doses of medication but only because I've been too lazy to go pick up my prescription.
But I've done this before and didn't feel like I was in a vice.
Anyway, off to the pharmacy. |

Yes, kids, BEARVillities is coming up again. This Year's theme is Kamp Kountry Jamboree. No, I did not choose it, but it promises to be a train-wreck of hilarious proportions. That is, if our rehearsals give us any kind of an idea about it.
I'll tell you what. The Dallas Pike Lot Lizards routine HURTS!!! And that's all I can say about it.
April 10th at Wall St. Mark your calendars. |

Ya know? I'm trying SO HARD to hate Super Hero Squad.
It's cute and relies on lame puns for humor and Silver Surfer is a hippie and Hulk is all big, dumb and cuddly and Doctor Strange looks like an 8 year old with a fu-manchu who asks if his leggings make him look fat and sings Dormammu's name as part of Frére Jacques all stupid-like. (Like you didn't.)
See? I want to hate it.
But I can't.
I just want to squeeze it and giggle. |

[Jan. 19th, 2010|07:07 pm] |
So, I'm 2 and a half clicks from level max in Champions Online, and it's been totally fun running B.E.A.R. (Battle Enforcers Advanced Regiment), but I seem to be at an impasse. The missions I need in order to reach level cap are in Lemuria including a nemesis mission.
Lemuria is currently bugged... a lot... like, there are characters stuck there that can't leave the zone. Not to mention that there are a ton of server issues for that zone.
This means that I don't want to go into the zone to complete my missions until it's fixed.
I think I'll have to look up a lot of civilian missions to make up the difference.
Oh, and the crafted travel power missions? TOTALLY a pain in the butt.
Edit: I MADE 40! W00T! Now for my Unity missions! |

For those of you NOT on my Facebook list, I figured I should share with you the fact that I am now the President of the Columbus Ursine Brotherhood.
I, for one, am frightened.
I made it quite clear that I am not the best man for the job. There are plenty of other members that are more organized and capable of actually running an organization than I am. Me? I panic if things aren't done on time or if people don't show up. I don't even have a direction I think the club should go in besides being a meeting point for those of the bear persuasion to get away from the internet for a while and actually be social. Hmmm... maybe that's my direction/platform.
Anyway, we'll see if I can avoid running it into the ground. |

SO, I'm watching Tabatha's Salon Takeover and this owner is the WORST BITCH EVER!
Anyway, I amused myself by posting this to my Facebook page:
Is anybody up for getting a collection together to bail Tabatha Coffey out of jail if she ever decides to cold-cock that cunt at Brownes? The Tabatha Coffey Cut-A-Bitch Fund... has a nice ring to it, don'tcha think?
Someone responded:
Oh she doesnt need the cash trust! heheh
I just HAD to respond with:
Yeah, but it feels good to give so that the stupid bitches of the world can get the bitch-slap they really need. We'll send you a picture of the moron you're supporting so that you can look into their giant vacant eyes and wish you could punch them yourself. Just 65 cents a day provides your idiot with a working clue-by-four, medical attention and the knowledge that their *ahem* instructor won't face felony assault charges. The good you can do is worth more than you can imagine. As a sponsor, you can trade photos and letters with your douchebag so that you can monitor their progress. Please call now. With just a little of your pocket change, you can change the life of an asshole forever.
Like I said. I amused myself. |

So... now that I'm rested, I can tell y'all about the trip to Maine.
It was surprisingly pleasant. I got to spend a lot of time with Sunshine who is the most awesomest step-sister, ever, and Sierra and her new husband and talk some stuff out with my stepmother and get up to Presque Isle to visit my brother.
On the downside, there are still issues with my dad but I think I'm going to chalk them up to him being a coward with the emotional range of a pet rock and try to go on with my life. There's also still the problems between him and my sister that are causing... complications. I can't really go into them here.
Anyway, it was on OK week. I don't dread another visit like I have in the past but I'd like to visit at some point without a relative that I want to punch in the neck. |

Why is my sister stupid? We THOUGHT we taught her not to hate people based on their nationality, but nooooo.
She decides to send me a text message with a catchy little racist Jingle Bells verse that ended "if you're white pass it on" and proceeds to tell me that she thought I would think it was funny and then get all upset asking if they couldn't even joke around me. I had to remind her that I'm a minority, too and boredom is not an excuse for hate speech.
Oh, I'm SO looking forward to going home for the holidays. No, wait... it's not home. It just happens to be where my family's at. |

| Strange Conversations |
[Nov. 2nd, 2009|11:32 pm] |
As much as I bitch, I do love my family.
I love my family enough to tease them on the internet.
So... I get this call and my phone says it's from my brother. I'm like, cool, my brother's calling. This is new and unexpected.
I pick up the phone and say hello and a strange voice just kind of blurts out "I want a pair of those PJs."
Huh?
Who the hell are you and how do you know about my jammies in MAINE!?! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY BROTHER, YOU BASTARD!?!
I think Ed's going to have to have a conversation with my nephew Andrew about introducing himself on the telephone prior to making jammie demands. Not only that, if he'd like them for Christmas he should probably treat it like a Jeopardy clue and phrase it in the form of a question. Something like, "Uncle Bob, I really like the PJs you wore for Halloween. Would you get me a pair of those jammies for Christmas?"
The good thing about this is now I have something to tease the boy about until he's 90.
Apparently, the other kids would like a pair as well. I sense a lot of money spent on fleece this winter. |

| War of the Footie Jammies |
[Oct. 30th, 2009|06:44 pm] |
For those of you following me on Facebook, you may have noticed that there is a bit of a tug-of-war involving the primary component of my Halloween costume.
Ya see... my giant, spawn-bearing, ready-to-burst little sister really likes the footie jammies I bought to complete my ensemble of "creepy kid". There's a problem, though, because I really like them, too. They's comfy.
But, I felt bad because it felt selfish of me to keep the jammies away from the GSBRTBLS.
So I ordered her her own pair. I can't do stuff like that often, but they were clearance so it wasn't too great a hardship.
My big brotherly duties are done and now a pregnant woman can remain toasty warm in the great, white North of Maine.
And now I can lord the jammies over her when I go home. |

Wrong Turn 3 is a giant, steaming puddle of unicorn vomit.
I call it "unicorn vomit" because it's so very rare that I find a horror movie that I hate so much I actually turn it off.
This wasn't good bad. It was bad bad. |

I love costume parties. The creativity that comes out is kind of mind-blowing.
One thing I've learned over the years is that you can go for sexy or you can go for scary or you can go for cute but you should always go for weather-appropriate. I'm very glad that my costume was what it was. It was COLD last night.
Something I learned last night is that creepy and cute kinda drive guys a little nuts. A thing to remember.
I've also learned that if you don't wear anything UNDER your costume, it's pretty much an open invitation. I don't necessarily have a problem with this. Also? Fleece footie jammies? A little bit of a fetish for some folks.
Here's some pictures from last night. |

If you, like myself, have a love of the old Hammer Horror flicks, catch I Sell the Dead.
It's kind of Fearless Vampire Killers-y with a bit of Shawn of the Dead thrown in and it's all cute and kind of steampunk-like. Really, the name says it all in terms of plot. It's got a great cast including Dominic Monaghan and Ron Perlman and it's a ton of ghoulish fun. It almost seems like it would be the perfect movie for Elvira to host. This is family-friendly horror (barring a little bit of language) but in a good way.
I heartily approve.
Now... Saw VI.
BEST DEATH EVER! The franchise is losing a little bit of steam plot-wise. I mean, how long can they really keep this going? Eventually, they're going to run out of people that Jigsaw has even met in passing. It did have a fantastic message about insurance companies, though, and I did thoroughly enjoy it. The twists and turns were all there and it had it's fair share of fish-mouth moments for me. It was also a lot of fun watching the spider-web that Jigsaw laid out start to unravel. I will say that while this one had more than it's share of gore, there wasn't quite so much of the splatter. The traps, while still fantastic and the main reason I watch these movies, are getting... more refined? It doesn't quite fit, I know, and maybe it's because the director is honing his craft, but the gore was almost subdued. Like it was still present but secondary to the horror of the game itself. I appreciated that. As with all of the Saw films, not for the kiddies. Teens might get a kick out of it, though.
OH, and speaking of the kiddies, I'm settling in with my popcorn and a woman ACTUALLY SAT A BABY CARRIER NEXT TO ME!
Bitch, this is SAW! Hire a fucking sitter. If that baby cried, I swear I was ready to fling it behind me like a beach ball at a concert and make the bitch hunt for it. The kid was mercifully silent, though. |

[Oct. 23rd, 2009|05:12 pm] |
So, it being a day ending in "y", I'm watching a buttload of horror movies.
The first one today was the remake of It's Alive, which was OK. It could have used a bit more tension and a bit less of Bijou Phillips' baby doll voice. It was CGI-tastic which isn't always a good thing, but it was an OK popcorn flick.
I finally caught Outpost, which was also kind of meh. I didn't really get to pay attention to it, though, and it looks like one of those movies you have to be engrossed in.
Home Movies was kind of awesome in an understated way. Yes, it's filmed like a home movie so it's got a little bit of a Blair Witch vibe to it. It could have been creepier but the fact that the kids don't say a damn thing until 2/3s of the way through makes it kinda chilly. Adrian Pasdar does a decent job as the minister dad. Plus, for the furries out there, he looks cute-ish in a pink bunny suit.
Homecoming, so far is a weak Misery clone. It's OK, but I haven't gotten to the really good stuff, yet, I guess.
Tonight? Saw VI. SQUEEEE! |
