So my site exploded.

Yep.

I tried to do a simple upgrade, but whenever I do the entire thing just ups and explodes. So much for upgrading - I won’t be doing that again. I lost everything, but I was smart enough to back up my posts, comments, and such. If you had an account, you lost it. Just make a new one… I’m terribly sorry. u.u

I think that’s all I had to say about it. I’m a bit depressed now. Here’s something funny I read off of my friend Khuffie’s blog:

11:00 PM - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing!

CAT DIARY

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a ‘good little hunter’ I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of ‘allergies.’ I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow — but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.

The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

a comedy of errors

….Found out that a ‘group’ of errors is actually called a ‘comedy’. I honestly didn’t know this! :P

So I should be writing a paper for my Media Studies course, but I’m taking a short break to write away on here. Oddly enough the paper is about the free societal nature of the Internet and WWW… so I’m essentially taking a break from writing about the Internet to use it. Consider this a “field study”. :P

So I stumbled across a short experimental film on YouTube that we watched in my Film course yesterday, entitled “tellinglies”. The film focuses on what people say versus what they mean, and the result is a bit startling. It’s also a bit crude, so bear with me.

Thank goodness I’m in a dedicated relationship as opposed to that poor chap. Sounds like his life is spiraling downhill fast.

Speaking of films, though, yesterday we started to watch a movie called “Why We Fight” in Media Studies. It’s an interesting insight on why we entered Iraq and why we haven’t left yet. I can’t say much more because we only saw maybe the first half of the movie… but another movie I can comment on more fully is the one we just finished watching in Health: “Super Size Me”.

This movie, despite pointing out the obvious, was rather terrifying. @_@ The man almost destroying his body permanently over the course of eating McDonald’s for a month straight, and the facts that were thrown around about American eating habits were just as frightening. The perspectives on what is okay vs. what is not okay to eat based on filmed candid interviews was just disappointing. One schoolgirl in the movie even claimed that french fries were her “vegetable” in her school lunch “meal” (I place meal in quotations as the only items she was purchasing in the lunch line were the french fries and a carton of milk). Another scene featured a man preparing for a partial gastrectomy and commenting to the camera and Morgan Spurlock that “this is the only thing that can save him”. Sitting next to his hospital bed was a 64oz “GIANT GULP” of Diet Soda, which he claims he drinks “2 or 3″ of a day. That’s several GALLONS of syrup and carbonation - he could have easily prevented all this! And a partial gastrectomy isn’t going to change a bad habit like that - it’s only going to make things worse… I felt bad for him.

Onto happier subjects, I came across a rather amusing video online on YouTube (again, I know), entitled “If Pigs Could Fly…”, claiming it to be a freak betrayal accident in Halo 3. Watch the video to get what I mean - it’s pretty damn amusing:

It’s almost as if the game atmosphere has a twisted sense of consciousness. I’ve noticed accidents in games like this before, especially in Halo 2 or 3 and in GTA series games. As random and slightly disruptive as they are, they’re certainly amusing enough to keep around. XD

Finally, a great picture I got in an email earlier (say it outloud if you don’t get it right away):

That’s all I have for now (expect more survey questions later!), aside from an amusing quote to round this entry off:

“What can be more palpably absurd than the prospect held out of locomotives traveling twice as fast as stagecoaches?” - The Quarterly Review, 1825

Hypnotoads and Surveys

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Moving on, I don’t have much to say right now. I need to go do laundry and find food, though. Then I have a paper to finish writing.

Tony Hawks and Art

One week until I’m through with exams and I check out of my dorm to head home for the summer. I’m looking forward to starting my job and not doing anything otherwise (aside from TKD, I need to lose weight o.x). And it gets me money! Wooo money! With it I’m gonna get my gorgeous camera, Disneyworld Park tickets (with Park-Hopper passes… I have hotels lined up, just no tickets), and maybe I can fix the stereo in my car so Tricia and I will have something to listen to for the trip to Orlando and back. It’s looking to be a blast - she and I have been planning this forever. I can’t wait. :3

So! Tony Hawks. He’s not a professional skateboarder, but a British author. What a surprise, eh? As such, he gets a LOT of mistake mail from skateboarding fans. His fantastic replies are certainly worth a read - I laughed outloud quite a bit. :P

How long did it take to land the 900?

mr.me

Mr. You
Ages. Air traffic control made me circle Heathrow for forty minutes.

Or:

hey tony!

I like tony hawks underground.I skate myself and i must say i cannot ollie.How is it done?Cheers for reading.
Samuel

——
Samuel,
I like the way you finish your mail. ‘Cheers for Reading’. At last someone else who appreciates this much maligned town. Reading is a wonderful place with an excellent one way system, efficient libraries, and a number of fine grass verges. On top of that, it is well-served by the M4 motorway, so it has easy access to places which are much, much nicer.

Goodbye

TH

Another:

Tony what was your first ever trick you did and what was your favourite trick you ever did?

Liam
——
Liam,
I’ve stopped turning tricks since they cleaned things up around Kings Cross.

You probably wouldn’t want to know what the trick was.

TH

Ah, British wit. It’s funny as hell. :P Give the site a read, you won’t regret it.

Now… something a bit more serious. Art. Art, it appears, is serious business. I noticed a number of my friends joining a Facebook group - “Prevent the “Artistic” Death of an Innocent Animal-SIGN THE PETITION!” (hope that hyperlink works). Apparently some Latin American artist Guillermo Vargas Habacuc picked up a stray dog off the street and tied it in a corner of an art museum exhibit without feeding it. It’s contested if the dog died or not - some reports say he let it die in the museum, others say he fed it before and after the exhibit and released it later to the streets… Yet I noticed all these Facebook comments on the photos, and I realized most of these people are absolutely retarded.

Michael Weileder of NSULA made a fantastic comment on the nature of the 500+ comments:

Top five most popular things to do on this wall:

5: Assert the absolute lack of morals of those who do not agree with your point of view!

4: Use profanity and overt vulgarity (and even extreme violent language), so everyone knows that YOU MEAN BUSINESS!

3: Assure the world that you, having attained the illustrious title of art major, can DEFINITIVELY state the exhibit is not art! Make sure to put “art” in quotations!

2: Belittle Shiggmasta’s [editor's note: Shiggmasta made arguments in favor of the art] intelligence, cleverly using his name against him in your intellectual debate!

And with an overwhelming lead…

1: Suggest that the artist himself be tied to a wall in place of the dog! Because it’s the same thing! Really!

…Which pretty much sums up everything in a few sentences. Really, though - regardless of whether it is or isn’t art it DID make a point. It made the point against standing and staring at animal neglect and strays dying before your very eyes. It made the point that even when you put the animal in the public eye, still no one takes care of the damn thing. No one fed it, no one let it go. Instead, they argue if it’s art.

Good. Fucking. Job.

“Why didn’t he just take a picture?” It wouldn’t have made the same point - it wouldn’t have elicited the same response. If you’re so enraged, if this group changed you, go out and adopt a pet instead of purebreeding them. Go out and spay or neuter your pet. Instead, you children are thinking you’re making a statement by joining a group and doing nothing else, aside from clicking on your newsfeed to see pictures of John getting drunk, or Becky hooking up with Charles. Instead, you children are opting “an eye for an eye”, which as Gandhi put it, “makes the whole world blind”. It’s you violent sick fucks who are destroying this world, those of you who think it’s okay to kill because someone did something you don’t like. Get off your ass, log off Facebook, and DO SOMETHING GOOD for once. Instead, you’re sitting safely in your middle-class suburban home, parading your half-naked Facebook profile pictures, rattling your jewelry and wishing for death upon others, when you could be changing the world.

I agree that an animal shouldn’t have to die to prove a simple point. I don’t disagree with joining a group to show your opinions. I do disagree with not doing all that you can. I beg of you, if you joined this group and you’re my friend, do something more than simply joining the group. As for the rest of these maligned violent children, I can only pray they come to their senses soon.

I think I had more to say, but if I did I can’t remember it.

If there’s more to say, leave a comment. :)

Stuff? Got no title today. :P

First off, allow me to apologise for not being able to update this since like… friggin’ Monday. This week has been rather hellish in terms of free time. What with my C project finally getting done last night, the Film test this morning (for which I had to watch Minority Report for)… I actually pulled my first legitimate all-nighter this semester on Wednesday night. I’m wiped - after this lecture I’ll probably call Tricia and sleep. Sleeeeep.

I’ll start with Minority Report. I really didn’t expect it to be just THAT good. Tom Cruise may be batshiat crazy sometimes, but he was perfect for this movie. If you’ve lived under a rock in terms of mainstream movies from 2002 (I just dunno why I didn’t see it sooner - no excuse, really, I guess I just fail), go see it. It takes place in 2054, where Cruise plays Jon Anderton, the head of the Washington, DC, Department of Pre-Crime. The department is a test, using “pre-cogs” (humans who are gifted with foresight) to know where and with whom a murder takes place. Interesting plot.

So the other day it occurred to me that school is out in about a week for me as of now. A week from Monday is my first and only exam, and the day after I leave for home… the same day that GTA 4 is released. I cannot wait - the more and more I see about this game the better it looks. To quote IGN:

“Multiplayer is accessed from the single-player game via Niko’s cell phone and supports up to 16 players. Oh, and the entire world runs at the same time. That’s right — all the pedestrians, traffic and cops are there. The entire city is open to you and your fifteen friends in apparently every mode.

And that’s what it feels like to have your mind blown.”

Just…. damn. And the multiplayer modes seem just as awesome:

“Cops N Crooks puts players on two very different teams. One team spawns as crooks, with one of its members randomly selected to be the crime boss (or VIP). The other team spawns as cops in squad cars. The crooks need to help the boss get to a randomly selected escape points so he can flee the city. Most of these are along the water for a boat escape, though some have you extricated from a roof via helicopter. The cops win by either killing the boss or destroying the escape vehicle.

There are a few twists that make this the most interesting version of VIP I’ve ever played. The cops can see the crooks on their radar (with the boss getting a unique icon), but they don’t know where the escape vehicle is located. Remember, all of Liberty City is open, so it’s not going to be easy to immediately guess where the crooks might be headed. While the cops spawn in cars, the crooks start on foot and must find transportation. This gives the cops an early advantage, unless TeamXbox’s Andy Eddy is driving. Even my grandmother can escape a pursuing Officer Eddy.”

Adding this to the older appeal of GTA…. this will be amazing. And 2 weeks until my job starts is amazing too. :3 To which I found out this morning I don’t have to do the 8 hour “dear Christ that hurts” orientation lecture again. Yes. It was 8 hours. Ouch.

Sooo… “Ghost Ride da Whip”. What. A. Dumb. Trend.

Christ. This is what humanity has come to. MLK fought for your rights and this is how you repay him. Darwin had better claim him, and soon.

Anyway, Super Mario Brothers was an amazingly bad movie, but I think this guy nailed it. I’ll definitely be watching more of his reviews. He has a lot of charisma for the role he takes on:

And that’s all I have for now, but I might be adding more later to make up for my absences.

CS2261

I.

Hate.

This.

Class.

Honestly, at this rate this class can DIAF. I’ve learned NOTHING aside from total unpurified hatred for how idiotic people can be in this class, specifically those who are [supposedly, though I've seen no proof of this] teaching the class.

The class is CS2261 - Media Device Architecture. It’s supposed to be about making GameBoy Advance games via a program called Visual HAM. The first day of class, I was informed that Macs cannot run this program, nor are there any equivalents of Visual HAM for the Mac atmosphere. The TA’s (Teaching assistants) flat out told me to pirate Windows for use in Bootcamp or Parallels. That should’ve been the first red flag.

But I kept on. I soon discovered that not only were the TA’s inattentive in lecture (if they showed up at all), but they were incapable of teaching or even basic communication with the class. Labs (which is claimed to be mandatory but the syllabus has no allocation for it to be incorporated to our grade) were and still are a joke, where nothing is taught, the class is too busy (and too loud) trying to teach themselves, and the TA’s have both an inability to convey information (try projecting your voice past a sensual whisper to your laptop, Peter - for that matter, learn the C language at all, really) and no reign of control over the class. Lectures were comprised of two professors - Bill Leahy and Aaron Bobick (I assume that’s his name, but he came to class and taught maybe a total of 3 times this semester - must be nice not having a care in the world about the class you’re co-”teaching”). Bill does a good job teaching, but without communicating with the TA’s, the class is essentially divided. Aaron wastes his time trying to be hip and funny, failing miserable and placing emphasis on “fitting in” with us rather than teaching us.

Not to mention that coding for the GameBoy in C is so proprietary it’s ridiculous. There’s no relaible resources, TONC sucks, but best of all was the “mandatory” C book we HAD to purchase which I haven’t found a use for at all - as it truly is useless. $45 right down the toilet, essentially.

Ah, and the grading scheme. 75% projects, 25% tests. That’s ALL we were told. Final project? Does it have a different weight? No clue! Does attendance in lab (despite claims) count at all? Who knows! As of Drop Day, we had about 6 grades turned in - maybe half were graded for the progress report. It’s now 2 weeks until finals and nothing in the past 6 weeks has been graded. I have no idea what my grades are. GO DO YOUR JOB AND GET OFF FACEBOOK, TAs. CHRIST, YOU’RE BEING PAID FOR THIS SHIT. IF YOU CAN’T COMMIT TO IT, DON’T SIGN UP FOR IT.

Which brings me to the point of the Final Project - make a game. Last semester got 5 weeks and 4 milestones to prepare the final copy. We get 2 milestones and 8 DAYS. 4 for a beta, and now we were JUST told it’s due Thursday. THURSDAY. FUCK YOU. LEARN TO MANAGE TIME. GRADE MY OTHER SHIT FIRST, ASSHOLES.

I would be writing all of this on a class evaluation form, but it looks likely that we won’t even get one of those.

Fuck this class. This is for you:

Fuck CS2261

“Hi CS2261, I’m a Gigantic Idiot.” - Peter Watanabe [Never has a truer statement been made.]

Canon Camera!

Sorry I’ve not been able to write for a few days. I feel pretty bad about that. I’ve had a test, a project on the same day as the test (same friggin’ class too), and a 9 page paper to write in the matter of a few days. Yay fun. Now it’s my fraternity’s Spring initiation and we’re technically not supposed to be using electronics for leisure, but as I’m waiting for a task to finish I might as well update with what’s been on my mind.

I’ve been wanting a new digital camera for a while now. I’m a bit of a gadget whore, really, loving the electronic toys and always wanting new better ones. XD This is a bit different, though, as the camera I’ve been using is a bit cumbersome. Firstly, the shutter speed at best is 1/8 of a second. That means the shutters are open and exposed for 1/8 a second to capture the image, which is waaaay too long and blurs most everything. There’s a significant amount of lag between the button press and the actual photo capture, too, which is problematic.

I’ve wanted a professional camera for a while, and after a bit of research and asking friends (specifically Amy via Facebook who too some magnificent pictures of her guinea pig Fiona) and I found that the camera I want is the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. It’s a semi professional digital SLR camera, which is fancy - just take a look at it!

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT

It has a shutter speed of 1/4000 per second (!!!) and “instantaneous capture” - precisely what I needed. As an added bonus, it takes in images in two formats: high res JPEGs and RAW format. RAW is fantastic - totally lossless, full perfect imagery which I can compile through Adobe Photoshop CS3. I actually found out my Big Brother in Phi Kappa Theta, Patches, actually has this camera so I got to try it out hands on! It’s perfect for me. Weighty, so I don’t feel like it’s flimsy, perfectly responsive, and the LCD screen on the back is for image edits/playback (image capture is through the Terminator-like viewfinder). It’s just what I need, at a (for the grade of camera) reasonable price of $450 through Amazon.

I’m excited. And my task is finished, so off I go! Don’t expect another update before Saturday night but I can try!

Graffiti and Garfield

So, I love graffiti. It’s impressive, y’know? An art form that’s shunned upon… very interesting for that reason too. But does it make you think? I have to concentrate to even read it, sometimes. But I like the stuff that speaks without words. Banksy is that art. I bought his book - a showcase of his works. Here’s a couple of pictures of his work:

EDIT: Unfortunately, when the site exploded I lost these pictures. Look for them through his site that I linked to, okay? :)

So he’s a much more interesting graffiti artist than most, in my opinion. Most of the appeal of his work is from altering one aspect of a picture by adding in something completely unrelated to the piece, like the Mona Lisa with the bazooka, but then you have things like the telephone booth, and its death signifying how the cellphone killed it. He also does painting, which he frames and unceremoniously hangs in prestigious art galleries until someone removes it. XD His art is astounding.

And onto something I dislike. Garfield. Blegh.

It’s NOT CREATIVE. Jim Davis is killing the cartoon medium with his bland humor and unimpressive art, and I’m not the only one who thinks so. Interestingly enough, such lack of creativity spawns even MORE creativity concerning the lack Jim Davis presents. Hence… I present to you a few fantastic parodies. First up is garfield minus garfield. To quote: “Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.” Which is an accurate summation of the fact that Jon talks and interacts with a cat that really doesn’t matter. Why the hell does the cat care if it’s Monday - every day is the same for a cat’s hollow routine of eating, shitting, and delivering completely unfunny humor.

Then, ladies and gents, we move onto Lasagna Cat. A subtle yet sublime “tribute” which points out how mundane each strip could be if occurring in reality, with an odd interpretation/jab at each strip at the end. Enjoy, because I know I was laughing for very odd reasons:

And the creme of the crop, what with a not-so-subtle jab at the pathetic Garfield films:

And finally, the Garfield Randomizer. With this, you can lock a frame you like in place and click “Go” until another panel in the remaining unlocked positions shows a frame you like as well. The result? A funny, self-made strip of absurdity.

More Garfield bastardizing can be found at Encyclopedia Dramatica’s Garfield Page.

Leave me some comments about what you think! :3
