Haven't made a useful update in awhile.
This won't be one either.
I've went on multiple buying sprees in the last few weeks, but haven't bothered posting them. I've bought: Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Transporter, Hart's War, Con Air, The Sum of All Fears, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Max Max: Beyond Thunderdome, Road Warrior, Troy, Road to Perdition, Jurassic Park, The Ninth Gate, and Rules of Engagement. I don't really know why I bothered buying Ballistics, but whatever. I also bought a bunch of CDs last Friday: Anaal Nathrakh - "Domine Non Es Dignus," Yyrkoon - "Occult Medicine," Disarmonia Mundi - "Fragments of D-Generation," Sonata Arctica - "Reckoning Night," Mystic Forest - "Romances," and Callenish Circle - "Forbidden Empathy" yesterday. I also bought Megaman X8.
Speaking of Megaman X8, I absolutely love that game. I can honestly say that I feel it is my favorite Megaman X. They changed around the way you get upgrades (heart containers, etc). Heart containers and the such have been outdated since Megaman X5, when you had to split them between both characters, and completely outdated in Megaman X7, when you had to use at least two characters (while in X5/6 you could just use one the whole game), fucking up the system completely. Now you buy stuff with metals, much like screws from Megaman 7. There are also rare metals to find that unlock other things to buy for your character. I'm tired, so I don't feel like going into it much, but I'll say that I feel really good about buying Megaman X8, and beat it 3 times in 3 days - two on normal to unlock everything - one on hard mode, and a change in difficulty is something I rarely, if ever do when playing videogames.
I beat Megaman X8, unlocked everything in Street Fighter 3 and the Sonic Mega Collection. I was gonna go and beat everything in the Sonic Mega Collection, but after realizing there are (not an estimate/exaggeration) 134,217,728 levels in Blue Spheres, I gave up on that. It's based on the fact that there are 128 or so building blocks, that they piece together in levels. Using some math, it's easy to figure out which levels have which quadrants, as well as the passwords for those levels. There are some cool ones I want to go through though. Level 46,175,982 (password: 2919 7842 1723) has 17 spheres and 5 rings. Level 23,411,487 (password: 3253 1444 7528) has 672 spheres and 656 rings. Hell, there's even a website to showing what a level looks like. http://www.din.or.jp/~koryan/sonic/gbs_ca.htm Just enter the level number in the top box to see the map.
I went to the mall Wednesday, for whatever reason I deemed necessary. Mall still sucks. I had two retarded encounters there though. I walked past a mother/grandmother/girl who was apparently trying on dresses. The mother stopped me and said, "hey you, would you check out my daughter if she was wearing this." How the fuck do you respond to that? I mean, I don't enjoy being an ass (haha, just kidding), so I didn't wanna be like "I don't like you at all." Trying to come up with a reason, the thought to myself, "well, she's flatter than Jordan Capri, fatter than Jordan Capri, isn't Jordan Capri, and is in a black dress (black dresses suck) designed to show off cleavage (and knowing Jordan Capri...yeah)." I managed to get out something like, "I...uhhhh....uhhh...I don't like the dress......yeah......I don't like the dress...." and walked away. So, on my way back past them, I go on a different floor and side. However, I run into an obviously flaming homosexual (he embodied everything stereotypical) running a nail painting stand ... or something, I don't know. As I was walking past he was like,
"hey, I know you're a guy and all, but let me see your hands ... hold them out like this. *gaily*"
"Uhhh... *holds out hand*"
"Ooo, lemme paint your thumb, it'll be a free trial."
"......uhhh, I'm ... busy! *walks away quickly*"
Actually, now that I think of it, I do remember why I was at the mall. I was trying to hunt down a Phantom of the Opera piano song book so I didn't have to copy sheet music from my teacher (and to organize my 5 other PotO songs...). I tried to find a store my teacher recommended called "Humes" that's supposedly on Morris Ave, in Elizabeth (right after Kean College basically). I could not find it, on both occasions I looked. So whatever, head out to the parkway. Stop at Barnes & Nobles off 135 (during school traffic ... ahh, the memories) to look for it (B&N used to have a bigger section for song books). Didn't have it ... so I drove out to the Woodbridge mall. Walk around to Sam Goody's (the one on 22 used to have a huge section for songbooks, and I specifically remember seeing a PotO book there, but it's been closed...) and the other store there, but neither had it. Headed over to Menlo Mall to do something like that. Stop in that Barnes & Nobles, but still unsuccessful. It was getting close to lessons, and I still needed that damn book, so I tried looking in VV. Instead of looking, I bought Callenish Circle - "Forbidden Empathy." So, I was driving home, and I remembered passing Rondo Music on 22 coming home from school (which I was planning on stopping in, if I hadn't get annoyed at a truck driver and went to pass him just as Rondo was coming up, without realizing it). So, I head over there, and find a book. I realize it's "Easy Piano," which is .... well, incredibly easy and incomplete. So, I'm annoyed and out of options, but continue looking out of boredom while I try to think of somewhere else to go. Find the book practically hidden, and purchase it. It only has 9 songs, (All I Ask of You, Think of Me, Angel of Music, Music of the Night, Phantom of the Opera, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, The Point of No Return, Masquerade and shut the fuck up, there's one more somewhere ... ok, so maybe there's 8. No, that's gonna bother me now, I'm gonna go check ... I missed Prima Donna, but I fucking hate that song *drinks out of shoes*), most of which I knew before anyway. Hooray?
Tonight was a good diner. I was joined with Dave, Fernando, Rick, and Mike. We had the usual conversations, of course. We even had an ice breaker from Dave about coming across a picture of a hot Japanese chick having sex with an octopus, which, in reality, just created awkward silence, followed by a quick change of conversation. Then after talking about the Fantastic Four movie, I mentioned to Rubel that Fernando liked Elektra, which his response was grabbing his coat and leaving ... never to return. Dave followed soon after, leaving Fernando, Rick, and me. We ended up talking to 2 AM before deciding to head home (fuck school tomorrow). That's probably the longest we've stayed at the diner on a Thursday (despite showing up at 10:30 instead of 9:30). It felt good to see everyone again.
I just checked, I have 446 CDs being shared on my computer, with four still waiting to be listened to and shared (Impaled (their oldest), Gloria Morti, Blut Aus Nord, and Dawn of Azazel, which is fucked up somehow, with missing songs, mislabeled songs, incorrect times for certain songs, etc. I'll probably just sample that CD before deleting it, and deciding whether or not I should bother trying to find it again.
I'm playing Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap (GBA) now. I don't know why, I have more games to play, like Super Mario World. I also have older GBA Zelda games to go through. I still have to go through both of my PS2 Resident Evil's and unlock everything before RE4 makes it to the PS2, so I can play all my REs back to back. I'm also anticipating Devil May Cry 3 (despite 2 sucking), Kingdom Hearts 2, the Doom 3 Expansion Pack, and the new PS2 Castlevania coming out (3D). I think if I had to rank my favorite series, I'd go: Castlevania, Megaman, Zelda, Ninja Gaiden (I liked it before it was cool!!!). This paragraph was completely useless, because it's almost 4 AM, and I'm tired, and writing whatever pops into my head.
*points to current music* I think I like this song so much because it ends in one of Chopin's nocturnes, haha, actually, it's the one I'm learning to play now. In fact, that's why I think I like this band so much. The piano parts (piano > keyboard) are excellent. <3 piano.
My classes for the semester are ok. Chemistry is good, because the notes are now online, so I can sign in and leave without the fear of not getting the notes (not like they'll do me any good anyway). I like my Calculus II teacher, despite the fact his handwriting is worse than Eric's, which is saying something. The most obvious thing is that he writes his m's and n's upside down, so they look like w's and u's. Damn that's annoying. However, the course material is still MacKenzie shit (derivatives of logs/ln/e and L'Hospital's Rule and shit), so I just have to remember them, and I'll be fine. Fundamental of Engineering is kinda fun, but it's an 8:30 class, which pisses me off greatly. Wow, that's all the classes I have. I have a Tennis class that starts halfway through the semester (March 7, I believe), but it's in the Fitness Area, opposed to the tennis courts, which makes me fear that it's just a basics, as in learning the rules/how to swing/serve/etc., which pisses me off, cause I consider myself decent at tennis. I would've taken bowling/archery, but for some reason, it was not being offered this semester.
I notice I've been feeling more tired and sicker with every passing day. I've also noted getting angrier/frustrated/annoyed/being an asshat/irritable much easier too as of late. Whoamg, my period.
I've also decided I'm definitely going to the Death Angel/Kreator/Vader tour alone, should I be able to/if I have to. I don't need friends to justify my musical tastes! It's just a tour I don't want to miss. Though I have a bad feeling I'll get lost in NYC. :(
This is usually where I go through and proofread entries, correcting spelling errors and changing wording around, as well as changing the order of the paragraphs, etc. because I hate that, but I'm too tired/lazy/don't care.
