Brilliance

Sea Monkeys are still too small. Haven't not slept yet. Yoshi is crying out "Fuck off Jesus, I am the son of god!" much in relation to a game of Dr. Mario.

Comic will be resurrected again as I swear to work on it now. Hopefully we will see some progress. In the mean time... I have some art for you all to admire/drool over.


Napz has also drawn the worlds most bitching picture of a skunk man, which he cannot find at the current time... If he ever does, I promise to throw that up here for even more admiration.

And that's all that ever happened in the world today.

Absolutely Priceless

I'm not really one to post random crap in here... But what the hey. I saw this a year or two ago and just ran across it again. Funny stuff.

Peace out.

Milestone

I have just now FINALLY breached that always leering milestone of my playlist... I now have over 1000 songs! Celebrate oh people of the world! That's a total 1002 songs with an average track length of 3:56, and an estimated total length of the playlist landing in at a whopping 66 hours 27 minutes 13 seconds! For those of you playing the home game, that's over 2 days worth of music to listen to!

I contemplated posting the list here. But I when I realized just how freaking long it was, I sought an alternate method. And that's when I found Winamps handy little feature... Generating a full playlist! BEHOLD!

And that's all that I can think about right now.

Progress Report

Ok readers (all 2 of you), I'll bet you're wanting to know what's up with these little aquatic pets of ours... Or you don't. But either way, I'm gonna tell you. They have grown large enough to be easily spotable if you look closely, but still not big enough to REALLY be seen. A photograph for example, would be useless at this stage. However I will dig up the camera and get a lovely shot of the tanks when I have the time.

Yesterday Yoshi and I took a trip to the city, and Yoshi purchased a number of things that have interested me greatly. The first being an Xbox adaptation of Metal Slug 4 which left a lot to be desired... After doing my research, I see now that the correct choice would have been the copy of Metal Slug 3 that we were holding at the time. Oh well...

After procuring that and another Xbox controller, we then set off to the DVD store. What we purchased there was a wondrous movie called Versus! Take one part guns. One part swords. One part Yakuza. One part Zombies. And one part immortal beings... And what do you get? A 2 hour fight scene with a twisted sense of humor and a whole lotta gore. Everything I've ever wanted in an action movie *Sniff*

Finally, we managed to track down the full first season of Pokemon, which is a secret geeky pleasure of ours. And for all those of you who cannot find that fateful ringtone used in the first few episodes, fear not! I WILL transform it to a .wav format, and you WILL be able to download it from here. Huzzah!

And that's all that's happened to me of late.

New Ambitions

So I've been playing around a lot with video editing stuff for the past few years. I've learned a few things, and I realize that there's about 500 billion things I'm totally clueless about... But you know what? I find it fun. It's cool to string a series of clips together and put a piece of music behind them. It's even cooler when you can then put those onto the internet and have people admire your work. Couple this with the fact that I get giddy every time I get a hold of a video camera, and my insatiable urge to film everything... And well... I think you all can see where I'm going with this.

I want to go into film. Now fear not... This doesn't mean I'm leaving writing behind. It will always be a passion for me, and I've every intention of publishing books and making the billions through paperback. But if I can transform my artistic visions into a visual medium... The possibility's become endless.

Allow me if you will... To tell of a project that Yoshi and I have come to agreement on. We will, sometime within the next few months, take it upon ourselves to try to outlast each other in a sleep deprivation contest. Furthermore, we will film the proceedings, and I shall cut, edit and past them onto YouTube for your viewing pleasure.

Preparations may take some time as we will have to obtain a camera, some money & a whole lotta willpower (Meaning gallon after gallon of caffeine). However, once we get into this... There's no turning back. This WILL include things such as TAFE and work if I happen to be employed by this time (Yeah... Right...)

On a final note... We're growing SEA MONKEYS! This in itself will be a contest, which has no arbitrary rules, end or anything else that would normally resemble a contest. It will simple come down to who's are more awesome. And that in itself shall be divined by the powers of the universe (You guys). Simply put, I will be photographing the 2 tanks, and keeping a progressive diary of the happenings of their growth. This contest may span quite some time as I want to try and incorporate at least 1 generation of the little guys.

By the end of it all, I will film some footage of our instant pets (although I don't see how taking some 10 days to become actually visible is instant) as Yoshi and I try to make them out perform each other. You guys will decide on the criteria on which to mark our efforts, and then, using a poll I will set up somewhere, you will vote on who's Sea Monkeys are more awesome.

And that's all that has happened to me in my prolonged absence. Stay tuned for updates on our newly created pets, the sleep deprivation challenge, and a photograph of the most bad ass tattoo I have seen in a long time.

Till then...

Super Heroines Reborn?

Alright, so last time I decided to bring some 'breaking news' to the table, I was popularizing a rather clever gag... But this time I swear it to be true. The Powderpuff girls who we've all come to know and love (or perhaps hate?) have been given a brand new redesign!



Interesting no? However this does not spell the demise of the original crew of unproportionately drawn kindigardians... This is actually more of a spin off... The Anime kind of spin off to be precise. And of course, mixed feelings are abound.

So here's what we know thus far... The new Japanamation will be titled "Demashita! Powderpuff Girls Z" which is roughly translated to "And They're Off! Powderpuff Girls Z". The girls are no longer sisters, nor do they retain any ties to professor Utonium, which brings me to my next point... The drastically different story.

The city of Townsville is a thing of the past. Our new setting? Tokyo City (Of course!). Professor Utonium creates the mythological "Chemical X". Somehow, a daifuku falls into the mixture, transforming it to the much more interesting "Chemical Z". His son Ken (a new addition to the franchise), blasts the Chemical Z into a mountain in order to set the weather back to normal (because I suppose shooting unstable chemicals at the problem would be the first course of action a scientist would take) and as expected in such a show, this in turn creates a side effect that gives birth to the new Powderpuffs and their villainous foes. (Hurray for cliche story lines!)

As the girls are now super heroines by accident (rather than the original 'borne with the powers' motif), they create alter egos for these new super forms. They then gain the ability to transform between these aliases through sparkling and colourful sequences. Which makes this series, the new Sailor Moon copy cat.

The girls are now known as "Momoko Akatsutsumi" (Blossom), "Miyako Goutokuji" (Bubbles) & "Kaoru Matsubara" (Buttercup). I'm unsure as to whether they will refer to themselves as the American names while in 'Super Form', but the terms do work their way into the transformation sequence.

Little else is solidified in the English speaking community as this project is only just taking shape in Japan, and the availability of FanSubbed variations of the currently released episodes are scarce if available at all.

Oh and for those of you who STILL think this is another prank... Feast your eyes upon the opening and ending sequences of the series. Oh ye of little faith...
