Well, crap.
Right now I'm on 2 drugs.
Lamictal (Mood stabilizer/epilepsy treatment) during the days, which is pretty easy stuff to deal with. Usual minor weird side effects, but, generally keeps my mental state of health under control.
I'm also on Ambien, generic sleeping medication. Really light on the dosage, hits you hard and then wears off as the night goes by. Good at regulating sleep cycles. Only other big problem is I think my weekly stomach purges seem to be related. But, whatever. Projectile vomiting once a week isn't that big of a deal, is it?
Anyway, the Ambien is... not working. Past about two weeks it hasn't been putting me to sleep quite as well, or I wake up a little bit after I go to bed. Or get tired, lay in bed and am still not able to sleep. Tonight, I took it at normal. 3 hours ago. I can't tell at all. Didn't even feel it.
Stupid drugs. Now I have to get new sleeping meds. Maybe I can get like, two of them, and cycle them ever 3 months...
But, where was I was going with this?
Ah, yes. Does anybody know of any decent cheap wines? Boxed or not? I'm gonna need to pull out the self medication until I get this sorted out, and I'm not hardcore enough to do the two shots of jack before bed thing anymore. I r broke, and I need quantity. :P |

Due to reading too many comics, poor LJ post timing, a little bit of vodka and a disturbing conversation with my roommate, it has been decided that if there is ever Unicron/Ego/Mogo slashfic, Unicron is a futa.
I'm so sorry. |

As long as I'm reviewing random crap, God Hand (AKA: God Hard) is one of the best games I've played in a long time.
It's basically Final Fight/Double Dragon/River City Ransom. Only for the PS2, in 3d, with customizable combos, gambling, arena fights, super moves and god mode.
All improvements aside, it follows the exact same logic as NES sidescrollers. You start off fighting normal dudes who punch. Pretty soon they also throw in a fat dude who likes to throw you. Then you fight tall dudes who kick. Then a miniboss fight, more dudes, fat dudes and tall dudes in random configurations, then a boss fight. Randomly one or two dudes will also have weapons. If you kick them hard enough, they will drop said weapon, and you can then use it to beat up other bad guys. Or just find and throw explosive barrels at them. Also, enemies hit HARD. If Tall Guy gets a kick combo off on you, it's like half your life. Random haymakers from the tiny dudes will have you running in terror for some fruit to restore your health.
After a few stages they throw in girls. Either normal kicking girls, girls with throwy things and girls with whips. Then they realize they need to do something different and for an entire stage you're fighting the same enemies. Only the glow, signifying their robot-ness. Also, they explode when they die. Later on there are also Kung Fu Dudes.
In the middle of this, there are random powerups, poison chihuahuas, gay luchadors, gorilla wrestlers and midget power rangers. Also, one of the power ups is porn. And you spend an entire stage with a kick me sign on your back.
It does take a bit to get into, and you start off poor, but it is so very worth it. Also, poker seems to be the best way to make money once you run out of easy arena fights. You lose a lot, but you can also pretty easily hit a 32x or 40x return on your money. |

| WARPED TOUR |
[Aug. 19th, 2007|03:26 pm] |
So, I decided friday afternoon I was going to warped tour on afternoon. Totally worth every penny.
A little emo this year, lots of metal bands also. Weird dichotamy of punk and metal at an uneasy truce, rap being in their own little world in the corner, and everybody flipping off the emo bands.
Short version: Killswitch Engage is actually pretty entertaining, mostly because of White Boy Flava Flav. Who is in charge of guitar squealies instead of Yeah Boi!. He also has an awesome 30 seconds Fuck Emo Pussies song.
Pennywise is still hardcore. They actually managed to get the other side of the pit who was waiting for like, Hawthorn Heights to come on. Fuck those guys, btw.
Flogging Molly is still good. Really clean show. Not my favorite, but fun. Really, really mean fucking mosh pit tho. Not like, angry, just lots of kicking. It was a little empty so people could really get momentum going.
Bad Religion is awesome as ever. We got in early right when Paramore started, so I ended up front fucking row. I don't even know what else to say, they're fucking Bad Religion. It's just too bad it was only a 45 minute set.
Also, ended up at one of the side stages for a while during some Red Jumpsuit thingy and Hawthorne Heights, and there was a really cool canadian group, K-OS. It's like... I don't even know. K-OS is a proper black rapper/singer. He has 2 black drummers who rock, a DJ/keyboardist who looked indian, a tall lanky white bass player with big hair in the back, and like mini-hardcore Fred Durst on guitar. Mini Fred Durst is not only fucking crazy, he's fucking good at freaking out on the guitar. And his guitar was AWESOME. Not an actual guitar. There was a metal frame in the shape of a guitar. And the neck just extended all the way through it to the end. So big long stick with a metal frame around it. Actually sounded pretty cool. It was a very different sound, not having a body or anything.
Also, I am to inform everyone that not only is the guitarist from Boys Like Girls a total douche, he has a small penis. This brought to you by the ADD girl I was with who was going around tearing down their posters, or writing "cawk" over "girls". |

Signs you might by slightly drunk and very single:
You're playing Halflife 2: Episode One, and replying to your female companion with something along the lines of "Oh, shut the fuck up, fucking whore. The only reason I keep you around is 'cuz otherwise I'd never get any pussy in this hellhole. Oh, you want the fucking gate open? Open it yourself. Bitch. I'd make you strip right here if I wasn't get- OH FUCK EXPLODING ZOMBINE FUCK FUCK FUCK DIE FUCKER DIE! ... oh, shut the FUCK UP ALEX! NOBODY LIKES YOU EXCEPT FOR YOUR TITS!"
Also, if you've played HL2 at all, you should read this: Concerned
It's the story of Gordon Frohman. No relation. |

I have a new favorite drink.
2 parts ice, 1 part whatever liquid is on hand.
Let sit for 2 minutes, chug until your teeth freeze.
Repeat as needed. |

Okay, so there was probably more swearing, less tears, and a LOT more dealing with asian guys on the phone.
All I wanted to do was pilot a giant robot and/or plane and shoot down other giant robots and/or planes. Is that so wrong? Did we really deserve to get flashing red lights over that? |

So, there I was, sunday night, couldn't sleep. At all. Tossed and turned and eventually started watching Dead Like Me to entertain myself.
Monday morning rolls around, call in "fuck you work", watch more dead like me. Take more sleeping pills, pass out about 9am, wake up at 11:30.
Do nothing all day monday, do some dishes, cook, 9pm rolls around, take a double dose of sleeping pills. Settle in to watch more Dead Like Me while it kicks in. About 11, I take a shot of tequila to help it kick in. About 7am I call in sick to work, about 9am I pass out again, slept in until noon this time.
Tonight I've had two kinds of separate sleeping pills, and two shots of rum.
I have 4 more episodes of Dead Like Me until I run out.
It's funny, because a couple of weeks ago I was actually having a bit of a crisis of conscience. Is being bipolar really a disease? Is it morally right to force them to move my schedule around because my doctor said so? Is it morally right to do that for pregenant chicks?
And then, BAM, oh, yeah, it's a fucking disease. I get doctor's notes because I'M FUCKING CRAZY. CRAAAAZY.
Anyway, 4 episodes to go, wish me luck! |

| Too sober for this bullshit. |
[Oct. 5th, 2006|10:55 pm] |
So, in followup to Batman Mask Lady, my roommate got Brazil for tonight.
...
...
...
WOW.
I mean, fucking WOW.
It's... really weird. I mean, really weird. Weirder then City Of Lost Children weird. And the worst part is, it totally makes sense. Through the entire thing. There's no great mysteries to it. It's just WEIRD.
I'm afraid to sleep after watching it because of what my brain might do.
Side note: If you liked Brazil, IMDB recommends A Clockwork Orange!
Side Side Note: If you liked City Of Lost Children, IMDB recommends... Ewoks: The Battle For Endor?
I am too sober for this, and I hate you, Internet. I hate you so bad. Die in a fire. |

| DO NOT GO OUT THERE! |

Okay, so, I work about 8 miles from my house. It's a pretty short drive. Most of it is over the interstate.
Somehow, I managed to get cut off by fuckers turning left FOUR TIMES on the way home. And by jackasses pulling in front of me and slowing down 3 times.
On one of them, right by my house, somebody turned left in front of me. Which is okay, it happens. Except the asshole tailing him ALSO turned left in front of me.
A block later, walking down the sidewalk, is the nerdiest looking black kid and 2 white wiggers walking down the sidewalk. Okay...
And 2 blocks from that, at the corner of a major intersection, waiting for the light is this lady. She's in nice clothes, black skirt, black blouse, high black boots. And a big fur coat. In like 75 degree weather.
Oh yeah. And she was wearing a batman mask. |

Still not dead! Go me! Fighting with my doc over scheduling for new meds, though. Bleah.
As much as I hate my job, I'm moving up in it. It's depressing, but it somehow involves less work, so I'm rolling with it. Grading other people instead of being graded? Easy.
Also, just finished Okami. Take Ocarina Of Time, get really drunk, and then have an acid flashback, and then get told that you're not actually allowed to use Link in the game, and then get Navi a whole buncha pot, and you get Okami. It's deliciously awesome gameplay-wise. The bosses are all awesome, except they get reused too much. And the end boss just sucks. Also, some balancing would go a long way. Things vary between "OMG OW!" and "Dead before I finish my combo." That doesn't change the fact that running around as a godwolf with a magic paintbrush with a drunk horny bug riding on your head is awesome sauce.
Side note: I've become a /b/tard. It's so horrible, yet so awesome. I can really get behind a place where every day is Caturday.
Edit:
Apparently beating Okami results in your PS2 having an artgasm. |

Soo... My roommate recently got a 360. There are some okay games with it, he's rented a few cool ones.
Today, right after watching the White Knight video for the PS3, he went to go play some Hitman. Went, finally finished his current mission (Knock off some drug runners on a ferry boat on the mississippi), did it without any witnesses, went to go finish the mission.
Disk read error.
And the house was filled with cries of "YOU JUST FUCKING SIGNED YOUR DEATH WARRENT YOU SHITTY PIECE OF CRAP! I AM TRADING YOU IN THE MOMENT I CAN GET MY HANDS ON A PS3 YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT MOTHERFUCKER!"
<3 PS3 already. |
