It’s not like I forgot it, I just can’t type for shit it seems. Making 200+ calls per day is a bit mind-numbing, but I got paid Friday and it kinda makes it worth it. I’ll be getting around $600 every two weeks, but man, I could really use another way to make money on the side, because I have plans for all of this money (needed and a few luxuries, yes), but I’d like to have money to save and invest and… well, start my adult life with. XD
Damn that’s a scary though. o.o
Anyway.
Maybe I drive like a bat-out-of-hell, but I really can’t stand this (what I’ve dubbed) “mosey mentality” of Augusta. It’s ridiculous – if the light is green, you DRIVE, you don’t crawl! If the speed limit is 55, do NOT go 35 and brake every few tens of feet! It irks me.

A lot of that was written a few days ago. I have this tendency to begin writing something and then have my writing time fail miserably, walk away and say “no, I WON’T BE YOUR FRIEND TODAY” and then I’m left with what Wikipedia would say:
“This article about fish, his life, or his doings is a stub. You can help Wikipedia and him by expanding it.”
And unfortunately, I feel like what I’d write anyway is a stub. Lately, I’ve done little worth noting. I downloaded and beat my favorite Legend of Zelda game ever this past week – Majora’s Mask. What a beautiful game – not in graphics, but in gameplay and writing. The sheer emotion packed into these characters is frightening.
Those two videos really hit it home. And there’s a lot of that in the game. Like I said, it’s beautiful. For some reason I love this haunting song played on the night of the Third Day past midnight in Majora’s Mask. It really signifies that this is the end.
I also bought the music for Braid off of iTunes recently. That’s some powerful Celtic music. Again, I urge anyone who reads this or will read this to play Braid. It’s another fantastic, beautiful game with some fantastic (in every sense of the word, as it IS a fantasy) writing. It’s deep and emotional… Not to mention just a bindmending game. I have beaten this game up and down and even transcribed the entire plot that I could unlock a few pages back on my blog. This is what games should be.
(Be sure to watch in HD.) You have no excuse not to play this game. XD It’s $15 on Xbox Live, PC, or Mac. And there are free demos for each, so at least try it. :P
I also picked up, for nostalgia’s sake, “a bug’s life”, “Sleeping Beauty”, and “Pinocchio” all on blu-ray recently. The latter two make me feel really like a kid again. The restoration jobs really do them justice, and it’s phenomenal to see them alive and lush. And the bonus content on each is really amazing – old Disney Silly Symphonies and the sort.
My brother and I have been working with me learning the bass guitar more now that I have the evenings to practice when I’m not at work. I can play a few riffs to songs like “Rock You Like A Hurricane”, “Stand By Me”, “Sunshine of Your Love”, “Dazed and Confused”, and “Seven Nation Army”. My fingertips hurt. But I’m learning. I plan on getting this beautiful deep red Ibanez SR300M bass and a small but loud 25W Fender Rumble amp. I’m looking forward to practicing more and becoming a better bassist.
…As you can tell, I don’t get much human interaction aside from getting yelled at on the phone at work this summer.
It’s not even June and I kinda want it to end. u.u But… I shouldn’t complain. I’m lucky to have a job in this economy. Maybe soon I’ll have something more interesting to say.
Yeah, it’s a stub. Help me expand it.
