Just got a mail from Canada Post that my K.H.D.N CDs that I had ordered had been damaged during shipping and that they apologize for it. Gonna pick them up tomorrow, I hope that it's just the cases that are damaged...

I just misread 'DoDonpachi II - Pee Storm' and it made me sad.
Why is my brain showing me such stupid things ?
Where did my life go wrong ?

We're getting close to the 2nd turn of the Presidency elections in my country and the 2 candidates I'm supposed to vote for are absolutely terrible. You often need to vote for the least worse candidate but this year both are known to be knee-deep in corruption and scandals. Whoever wins, we lose.

That annoys you? Unless you were on the receiving end of this, I'd find this downright hilarious!

Talking about being an interviewee. It's like employers think I'm hiding a degree in my back pocket or something and go from bubbling over with excitement over having someone competent in front of them to shoving me out the door as fast as they can.

Perhaps the brain is revealing its true desires...?

May be time to give up on the facade of being an avid STG player, and invest in a piss dungeon.

Starting to listen to audiobooks, and picked up Joseph Anton, Salmam Rushdie's memoir. It's a very very good book, but it's read by someone other than the author and I presume this is why the reader has changed all of the pronouns to the third person - it doesn't make things very hard to follow, but harder than they should be.

Edit:apparently this is just the way the book is written? Bah.

Every tuesday and thursday after Bio class:

Random student: Hey, can you tutor me so I can do well on the next test?
Me: I can't, I have to go study.
Random student: You don't have to study, you got a perfect score on the last test!
Me: Because I studied. Just go read the textbook.
Random student: You read the textbook???

I find reading a bit tiring due to floaters, so I've listened to a few audiobooks recently myself... and although I enjoyed A Dance With Dragons' stately British gent narrator for the most part, the raunchier bits became unfortunately hilarious.

Unexpected gross and somewhat terrifying bits in cartoons. It only bothered me a little when I saw, but it kept infiltrating my mind when I was trying to get to sleep.

Oh man, I haven't read that yet. Sounds like a win for my next month's book.

"X fighting game character is bad because their style is inauthentic/unrealistic/impractical". Please kindly get fucked. The only impractical thing here is your fingers getting too fat to press the buttons.

You know you've executed it properly if their feet are lifted cleanly out of their shoes upon impact. A high-pitched "fweeet!" is another indicator; a metallic "klangg!" means you're releasing too early.

So Dish Network decided to pull Cartoon Network, CNN, and a few other stuff last night. Probably the stupidest decision they could've possibly made. I doubt their walls are proofed against severed shitstorms.

Dish has always been the junk provider, as far as my brother says. He says he had it years ago living down in Missouri, but since they've pulled Cartoon Network, I'm expecting them to lose a ton of customers right off the bat. Stupid move I would think. At least when Directv got rid of G4, they did everyone on there a favor because that channel went downhill really quickly after that.

Ikr. They dropped their original programming in preparation to change into a new channel, only to take about a year to do so. Anyway, I'm hoping that this isn't permanent, but I'm anticipating switching providers.

Completely unrelated: Why the hell did Nintendo redo and replace a bunch of the voice actors for some of the Smash Bros. characters? Fox's new voice actor is just terrible, and Sonic I'm pretty sure is the same guy but they had him do everything over again, and Ness is pretty good but his "PK Starstorm" is barely intelligible. When Sakurai said they "rebuilt the characters from the ground up", that's probably what he meant instead of the careful consideration he was describing. Also, why are there challenges involving streetpass but not online? Streetpass isn't as popular as Nintendo seems to think.

Because if they didn't, people like you would complain that they just re-used the old voice samples.
