Play me some music to folk to
Before I say anything else. OMG! Rockman 10! If the music is even half as good as it was for 9 I will do whatever is necessary to save the scratch to buy a Wii so I can download this game via Wiiware. Seriously. Whatever is necessary. Even the nasty bad things. I didn't say I had to be proud of it, I just said I had to have money for Rockman. Finally, though! An excuse to use the moniker Mike Honcho.
Also, Dad wants to go back to Mexico this April. So I would need money for that. At the time I told him that first I wanted to make sure we still had a place to live by April, but I have to admit that the thought of it excites me. I really do want to go back to Mexico and see my family. I'd need to shell out the $100 or so (is it more now?) to get my passport. And my ID's expired. Then there's airfare. And then however much money I want for spending on goodies and clothesies (I'm hitting the NaCo shop in Mexico City if I can. I still want that Estar Guars shirt).
See? That's a lot of money to save up, I still don't have a job, and this whole scenario is incredibly unrealistic.
BUT LOOK AT HOW EXCITED I AM.
I know you can't see me. But I'm excited.
Also also, I need to get in better shape. And buy new sneakers. This is relevant because cousin Rogelio took us all to Tepoztlán to see some pyramids. Only I didn't even make it halfway up the slippery, rocky mountainside to even see the pyramid. For one, my legs were sickly and weak. Not really, but that's my excuse. Also, I was wearing chucks. Do not wear Chuck Taylors unless you want to make the climb in fear of slipping and landing, hard, on the rocks, and on your face.
For the record, this didn't happen to me, but I swear to you the thought was in my head with every shaky step I took.
Watch out, Mexico! A hotter, more adequately-shoed Serge is coming your way! Hopefully!
Ahem, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a lovely time with their families/friends/bar skanks/whathaveyou
Dad and I went to South Gate to hang with the fam. The fam being my uncle Amado, and my cousins Ozzy, Luisa and Janet. Got to see Amadito for the first time in ages. Mr. College man. Ozzy was so heartbroken I haven't seen any of Venture Brothers season 4 that we were on the internet within minutes so he could show me some episodes. Here's what I think of Venture season 4:
Kevin Conroy voicing for Captain Sunshine? You can't fucking beat that.
Number 21's Firefly reference? I wanted to cry, it was so great.
Jon Benjamin still voicing The Master, also awesome. I was afraid he wouldn't come back.
My point is, I approve, and am buying the Season 4 DVDs the day of.
We spent most of New Year's eve playing trivia games. First was Simpsons Scene It and I'm proud to say I was kicking everybody's ass at that game until I got to the end and I got stumped twice. That was enough for Ozzy's friend Rick to catch up and claim victory.
Aw, damn.
We played Buzz! too, and that was fun. I actually won once, ha! And lost twice. We were actually still playing when the new year came up, so we all paused it to get up and watch that ball thingy that drops. Lots of crackers and hugging and all that. Then it was back to the whooping of ass. Actually, I think that was the game I ended up winning. So yay for me!
Also, I watched some of Paranormal Activity. If you haven't seen it I wouldn't recommend it. It's boring. And the "scary" parts aren't scary. They're mildly entertaining. That's about it.
Amadito and I played Daigasso! Band Brothers until the wee hours of the morning, then watched an episode or two of the Twilight Zone marathon. It was tits.
The next day, Ozzy took us to Gotham Comics in Bellflower (Hey, I was born there!). Nice place. I bought Blue Beetle #36 because that was the last issue before DC pulled the plug on that shit and had him join up with the Teen Titans. I still have to finish up with reading BB and then I'll probably pick up on Titans again.
If I'd known all back issues were half off I would have maybe bought some more.
Later we watched District 9. Real good flick. Except that guy says fuck an awful lot. It's kind of annoying. But also kind of amusing, because the guy is South African, so it sounds like he says folk all the time.
FOLK! FOLK! FOLK! FOLK YOU!
I'm starting to like it now.
Had me some tacos El Unico. I live for that shit. And a churro, too. With some horchata. Shout.
That night, Ozzy invited me out with him to Bottoms Up #2. We went with a friend of his and Gabriel; who is cousin Janet's husband's brother. Cool guy. But Bottoms Up #2 was dead, so we went to Bottoms Up #1, which is also a karaoke bar. That was fun, even though I didn't drink, and I didn't sing.
Serge don't do that.
When we got back we watched Funny People. Also good. I wasn't expecting it to go to that nice/serious place. But whatever. The funny is funny. And Seth Rogen is left handed. Tits.
And the next morning we went home and I had me the most wondrous of naps.
What the, who is that guy's voice in the Worthington Ford ads? Did Cal Worthington die?! No! He was supposed to outlive us all! Like the roaches and Dick Clark! But now who will rally the human race in the coming war between man and machines?
Hey, does anyone listen to Ke$ha? I just saw her on Conan and liked her just 'cause of the NES chip shit in the background of that song she sang. It sounded like what Tecmo used to use back in the day. Especially for games like Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Super Bowl.
Sweet memories!
Aaaand here's some stuff for Lor.
Well, NR says goodbye this week. Here's some WTF-age from the past few weeks.
Here's some! Alex's mom Lucía got married. And then she got shot and died. WTF. With less than two weeks before the show ends they killed off one of the goodies!
WTF-age #2, Monica might have the HIV on account of what a whore she's been. At least they didn't give it to the boys!
WTF-age #3, Santi's mom Veronica has totally gone batshit, run over Gabriel, and sequestered his gimp ass Cathy Bates style in some secluded cabin and won't let him leave.
All she needs is a sledge hammer and some wooden block action. Ooh.
Now comes the big one.
WTF-age #5, Jared the Subway guy made a cameo appearance on the show. WTF!! Seriously. GMS got a new Subway installation. And Jared apparently traveled all the way to Colombia, just so he could go to a Subway located within a private school and bump into Juliana. Wat teh fack.
Oh, and while not WTF-age, this is still good. I didn't know if it was because the end of the show looms ever-nearer, but I couldn't help but notice how much cuter Santi looks. And now I realize why. His hair is longer. So he's rocking a fuller, more luxurious Colombifro. It is magnificent and I almost wish my hair looked like that.
Iván says he wishes we could have seen Santi in swimwear one last time.
I say that's not enough. Those fuckholes at RTI still owe Santi and Diego, and by extension us, a love scene. Not that we'll get it, but it would have been nice. Even Lesbian Girl Laura had two sex scenes. Pfeh.
So. Due to me not being able to post this entry on time, Niños Ricos is now over. And I am sad. I am very sad.
Want to know what happened leading up to the finale?
Monica's ass was sent to jail for killing Lucía during her wedding with Guillermo.
Alex wants to leave the country and go back to the States 'cause she can't handle her mom being dead.
Matías was sent to jail for his shortlived prostitution business, and during his hearing he asked Alex to be there so he could tell her that Esteban was the one who raped her. He copped to the fact that he set up the druggings and shit, but lied to Alex and insisted he didn't rape her as well.
Monica leaves all her material wealth to Esteban and Guillermo.
A disgusted Guillermo won't touch it so it all goes to Esteban.
Esteban, having finally come to terms with losing Alex forever, decides to give away his inheritance to a list of around 20 people. He then throws a 'goodbye party' with a shitload of booze and drugs. He commits suicide by ODing.
Juliana finds out she has cancer, which is funny, because she lied about having cancer a while back so she wouldn't lose David.
Veronica was comitted to a mental institution. She escapes, steals Roberto's revolver and tries to kill Marta. Santi, after almost getting shot, talks Vero out of trying to kill anyone, herself included. She agrees to go back to the institution after Santi promises not to leave her side.
She begins making some progress, and while it isn't mentioned specifically, it seems she finally accepts Santiago's homosexuality, and his relationship with Diego.
David gets a full-ride scholarship to a college in Florida so he can follow Alex to the states. He lies to her about the status of his visa and says he can't go with her just yet.
A week later he surprises Alex in the States in person. They hug and kiss and are happy together. THE END.
Sob.
This is also for Lor, but it's not NR related, so it doesn't go in the cut. WTF. I was going to buy the GleeVDs like I said, but it's over 30 bucks everywhere now. Dammit. I didn't want to buy it the week it was released because I always do that, and a week later it's super cheap somewhere and I feel like the chump that I am. So now I sit and wait until I can afford it.
Remember when I did that with GG? When it was on sale I would be broke, and it would be sold out anyway. Then when I had the money it would go back to 50 bucks. Fuck. That. Now it's, like, fifteen, but I'm still so disgusted by the whole ordeal that I will probably never buy GG DVDs.
You broke my heart, Gossip Girl. Go fuck yourself.
However. I may still buy whichever Glee CD has Bust a Move on it.
Hey, and guess what! In Mexico, I guess Atrevete a Soñar is such an ohmygod megahit success that it's getting its own video game. Really! From what I can tell it'll be like an AaS flavored Sing It! but I heard something about choreography, so probably a little DDR, too. So when this novela finally makes it over the border you had better watch just because of that. Also, it doesn't hurt that Eleazar is in it.
And I hear that Alberto from New!Timbiriche will be joining the cast soon.
Diego! Why did you have to leave Mexico? You could have gotten in on this shit!
¡Pásatelas super duuuper!
Look, they got boy whores! Isn't that thoughtful? Wonder if they service the womenfolk at all.
Fine and dandy like sour candy
