I can finish Super Mario Bros 3 in less than 25 minutes.
I have owned/borrowed every gaming console since the NES.*
I read "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" in almost exactly 12 hours, nonstop.

*I was going to go earlier, but home consoles a bit harder to keep track of prior to 1985.

*blows the dust off* Aw, geez. Okay. I'm back.

Life's been... Weird. I have no job, and have been doing pretty much nothing for the past 8 months. *glances at most recent post prior to this one* Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaah...

Anyway, I shall be attempting to direct more traffic here, and maybe even actually start updating it on a regular basis. *psssshhhh* Shut up, skeptical-me.

When working with the general public, always assume that they are as dumb as a brick. They usually are.

Go for bright colors. People are attracted to stuff that stands out. Like pink on yellow, or yellow on white. Who cares if they can't read it?

Use big numbers when describing discounts and use small numbers when the boss asks about problems.

Talk really fast. It makes people think you know what the hell you're talking about.

Use humor. People enjoy a good laugh, and will pay stupid amounts of money for one.

When marketing for women, use women with big boobs. They think that by using your product, they can have big boobs, too.

When marketing for men, use women with big boobs. They think that by using your product, they can have big boobs, too.

If you're good-looking, use yourself to market your product. Especially if you have big boobs.

Always be motivated by money, nothing else. Well, maybe you can be motivated by greed, too.

Always be a bastard when it comes to spending money. You never know when you'll need to flaunt it.

The move is done.  We're unpacking.  This is just me testing the connection to the net, really, and catching up on some stuff.

Grah.  Google has failed me again.

Apparently not even teh netz knows if you can use the Wii Rock Band peripherals with another console.  I am NOT buying a second set of this crap.

*sigh*  I shoulda just waited to buy Rock Band after buying a PS3.

September 15th is not getting here fast enough.

Yesterday, I fiddled with HTML code, talked to an old friend, started working on a radio show script, and generally had a really good morning.  Odd, that.  Oh, and the move is scheduled for the week of Sept 15th.

Video Game  Nerd News:
Chrono Trigger DS.  TR2N.  Megaman 9.  Batman: Arkham Asylum.  Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour.  Less than a month for The Force Unleashed.  Mirror's Edge looks good, too.  Fable II.  Diablo III.  If you've played a game in the past four years and not heard of SPORE then you need to get out more.  Or less.  I think I mixed that one up.

Okay, I think I'm done.  That oughta get the geek outta my system for a few days.

*deep breath*

Yawn.

Yeah.  I did it.  I got a PS3 yesterday.  With MGS4 and Burnout Paradise.

Still haven't seen The Dark Knight, but that can wait, it'll be in theaters for a while.  Stupid work.  I want more free time!

The Dark Knight will be here in less than seven days.

That is all.

No, actually, it isn't, but I'm really excited!

In all honesty, The Joker is one of the most badass villains EVER.  And you know there's gonna be a third one, as Harvey Dent is there. 

(For those curious, the other badass villains are Hannibal Lector, Venom (NOT the movie one!!!), Emperor Palpatine, and some more whom I can't remember right now.)

Megaman 9 FTW!

Yeah.  Nothing new today, except that I got myself an Ice cream, and on the cup it came in, it said "May contain nuts."  I immediately imagined a new brand of boxers with that written on them.

That, and my evil side is writing a story.  The character is trying to kill everyone on earth.  Total body count so far:  About 51.  (one village, and a shopkeep.

This is gonna be so fun to write!

    Okay, so my sister and I got dumped in Salt Lake City today.  That's some thirty miles from home.  Fortunately, we weren't too far from the FrontRunner Station (The frontrunner is a commuter train that goes from SLC to Ogden), so we made it home in roughly an hour.

    But that's not to say that it was all fun.  Basically, what happened was (I think) a panic attack, and I'd rather not go into details right now, but I ended up throwing up, my sister ended up totally emotional, and our "friend" ended up disappearing.

    Yeah, the timed hike from where we were dumped to the station was certainly not a fun run.  We almost missed it.  

    But now home, safe and sound, and I can tell you, I'm not very stable or happy right now, so I'm just cooling myself until I can look at today without losing it.  

    And I swear, the next time I ask for more excitement in my life, either whack me with a bolt of lightning, or get me laid.

Okay, it's been a while.  If you don't like it, you can bite my ass.  Except that I'm the only one here right now...  Phooey.

Yeah.  Life is good.  Shortly after my previous post (about Geocaching) I was asked by someone I happened to like if I wanted to do anything after work that day.  I accepted, but the plans got a bit botched, and I ended up having lunch with her the next day.  That ended up being better, anyway.  So, long story short, we've been seeing each other every day, and not just because we work at the same place.

I want to rant more, but I can't really think of anything to say.   I mean, my sister's a bitch, my dad's an annoying prat, and (aside from the woman I'm dating...) I have no social life.  But otherwise, my life is really going good.

Oh, and if you have a Wii, go play Boom Blox.  It's fun.  I mean it!  Get a move on! 

That is all for now.  Note to self:  Post when your "evil side" is showing.

Oh, but I had the most awesome day today.  My family and I went searching for GeoCaches.  It's basically a supersized treasure hunt.  These things are everywhere!  Anyway, I live in the Salt Lake City area, and we drove all the way to Evanston, Wyoming.  Took most of the day, we got a little rain, took some jaw dropping pictures, saw millions of animals, and got a good few hikes out.  Anyway, we're sorting through the pictures right now.  I'll link when we're done.  Or rather, when my family gets done, and I get back from work tomorrow.

In other news, I'm no longer sick, but my stomach's been doing all sorts of strange things.  Most of which involve rumbling and movement of gases.  Yeah, it's not fun, but the sudden release of all that pressure is a welcome relief.  I'm glad my nose is still not working, though.

I HATE being sick.  I don't mind puking, because I generally feel better after a good barf, but this one was bad.  I was at work, minding my own, when I had a stomachache from hell, I sat down in the breakroom, and hoped that it would bugger off.  Nope.  Just got worse and worse.  So, about an hour later, I get a call saying a customer needs help in my area, so I stand up, walk out the door, take two steps, and run back in the door, toward the restroom, and end up having lunch in reverse.  Oddly, I felt pretty good after I finished, but the stomachache came right back about 15 minutes later.  I went home, and didn't sleep hardly at all, upchucked twice more, (At 1 am and 2:30am) and had some horrible dreams.

On another note, one of our neighbors is in the habit of pulling up in front of their house, and bullshitting with her boy for hours on end, WITH THE FUCKING HEADLIGHTS SHINING RIGHT AT OUR HOUSE!  Needless to say, this is not only annoying, but there's probably something illegal about it.  Anyway, our plan is to set up all of our brightest lights, and turn them on when she pulls up next.  We'll light up her car brighter than Vegas.

A thing to note:  Do not fuck with my family.  We fuck back in ways you'd never imagine.

Gawd, I hate janitors. 

You're sitting in the break room, munching some donuts and relaxing in general, and some janitor walks in, and starts moving tables around, to clean under them.

Now, I wouldn't mind so much, if they could do it quietly.  But, no, the damn table's gotta squeak and squeal, and intterrupt any and all conversations in the room.  Then, THEN, you're in the most comfortable position possible, and they say "Ober dere, pleez," in that "I obviously can't speak English" accent, because now they wanna clean where everyone is sitting.

In other news, YARD SALE!  If you live in northern Utah, let me know, I'll give ya directions.  (Note:  This would be sooo much better if anyone in Utah read this.  Fuck, anyone AT ALL.  Oh.  *lightbulb*)

Geez.

At least I remembered I had it.

Anyway, the story's coming along, work's getting kinda tedious, and life as a whole is okay, but I want some spice, for crissake.

Not much to say, really, unless I start in on videogames, which I don't feel like doing right now.  Shit, my life is boring.

Oe.  I've got lots of stuff to do, and not enough hours in the day to do it.

1.  Revenge on an old friend.
2.  Revenge on an old employer.
3.  Revenge on an old girlfriend.
4.  Buy "Revenge of the Sith"  Odd, how I've seen it well over 20 times, and still don't own it.
5.  MGS3.  That's gonna take a while, but I'll get it done before the move.
6.  Move.

Geez, There's a lot of people that I want to get back at.  Revenge is a good motivator, but damn am I lazy.  *Yawn*

I'll do at least #1 and #2 tomorrow.  Oh.  I gotta shave, too.  I look like a cross between Solid Snake and Otacon.  That's not a good thing.

Work is boring lately.  Nothing but walking around and avoiding management.

In other news, I got Mario Kart Wii yesterday.  It's fun, but for some reason, in battle mode, there are ten karts on the track, I can never find anyone and when I do, I can't hit them!  Grr.

Nothing else happening, really.

Yeah, so I took a look around with my newfound god-like journal, and it looks really bland.  I shall be spicing it up soon.  It will either scare the shit out of you, or look 110% nerdy.  Or both. 

I am random. 

Hear me cause lols.

Where'd that stupid cat run off to?  He left his damn string tangled around the leg of my desk.  It'll take me at least 15 minutes to untangle that...

Aw, hell with it.  It's on the procrastination list.

Good.  It seems to be working.  Well, if you're reading this, you probably know who I am, or were linked here from someone who does.

Anyway, I just signed up here to keep track of myself, really.  That will, of course, change over time, but, hey, it's a start.  Well, long story short.  I'll be back later.  Sleep is a good idea at this point.  First thing tomorrow morning: something that isn't stupid.

Who am I kidding?  I don't even know if I'll remember to come back tomorrow morning.  At any rate, I hope to at least have a few things to say tomorrow.  Like that story about power I wrote.  Or just how sporks affect everyday life.  Or why the number 42 appears everywhere.  Or even-

I'm stopping myself because I stopped making sense, even to me.

Hmm.  Later.
