Handwriting


This was also unearthed with the unknown mammal. It seems to be an ancient language, no longer under stood by humankind. The best we can make of it is that it uses symbols and that they mean something important. Apocalyptic even.

Hair


Class: Mammalia
Order: Unknown
Genus: Unknown
Species: Unknown

New species discovered of unknown origins. From all accounts, this species is a mammal, but not much indicates this other than the structure of the being. Lack of hair is distinctive. Very distinctive. We know this much, this thing is not even remotely close to being related to humans.

On my plate.

Pardon the glare, but I have this on my plate. If you haven't already guessed, I like games. A lot. I love story-driven single-player experiences, i.e BOOKS and RPG (role-playing games), so when I had the chance to pick up a long-lost game from my childhood (the game in the jewel case, Final Fantasy Tactics), return to a console of yesteryear (through the two SNES games, Illusion of Gaia and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars), and play, what is, hands down, one of the best (if not THE BEST) PS2 games I've ever had the chance to play (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4). I have barely started any of these games, but if I have to choose between a small plate and a large plate, you can bet I'll go for the large plate. With mega-large fries, please.

Estimated time to be spent in each game:
Illusion of Gaia: 10-15 hours
Super Mario RPG: 25-35 hours
Final Fantasy Tactics: 35-45 hours
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 : 80-110 (!) hours.

8 P.M.

I would have gotten my clock at exactly 8, but I was getting enveloped in Looper. Such a good movie so far. Still watching it. Surprising dark, I had a few kneejerk reactions. Very violent, very shocking. A very intelligent time-travel movie to boot. Check it out. One of the best movies of last year so far, but you can't beat Dredd in terms of action, and Paranorman in terms of...well, anything. Paranorman was as close to a perfect movie as you could get, favorite movie of all time.

Worry




You try editing together audio with a program that is liable to explode at any second when dealing a few hours long podcast that requires music breaks, audio increases and decreases, and editing throughout to get rid of audio fluctuations. It's fun, but god, it is a worrisome fun.

Shadows

SPOOOOOOOOOOKY, isn't it. I love the fantastical idea behind shadows. Sure, they might be objects blocking out sunlight, but it could be so much more in a story sense. They could spirits of past lives following their current incarnation, with the shadow getting stronger with each new life. I just came up with the perfect idea for a short story, brb.

A Reflection

What was a failed picture turned into a good one. I had originally wanted to capture the camera and myself in the reflection of the monitor, but I forgot to turn off the flash. I like this result much more.

Sound.

Ah...sound. Hard to encapsulate in photo, easy in video. I love iTunes' visualizer for this kind of stuff. It isn't as boring as audio waves in Audacity, but it keeps your interest enough so that you could watch it.


In The Cupboard

You have sustenance in your cupboards? Please, use your cupboard for something truly important. Like two decades-old videogames! You got your Zeldas, your Marios, your Donkey Kongs, your...Mickey Mouse Speedway USA? (I was 5, close your orifice in your face.)

A Quiet Place

One of the things I love most about Minnesota is how quiet everything can get. The noises just disappear if you are in the right area. Makes you feel like there is no one else in the world outside of you. Unless you are with friends, then you pelt them with snowballs because winter.

Sweet

Oh yeah. Oatmeal. One of the best ways to kickstart your day. Hard to describe, easy to make. When you have the Maple & Brown Sugar, and add more sugar, you're going to have yourself a good morning. No thanks to Good Morning America, I swear they spend more time on meaningless crap than, you know, ACTUAL NEWS STORIES.

Faceless Self Portrait


This creature has saved this world on more than one occasion. You don't know it, but he saved the world from space nazi's. They live on the moon and used "The Great Dictator" as personal propaganda. (That was from a movie called Iron Sky, it is as ridiculous as it sounds.)
