Look! It's Nymo!

An Overview

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:26:43 GMT

wow, It's been a while, LiveJournal.
A long while.

I've mentioned before that I was looking for another blog to voice out on.
well, Turns out I didn't quite pursuit blogging much on that.

Not to say that I haven't been doing anything: Most of the time it's been tweeting on Twitter.
I would shove those tweets automatically to LJ, but we know what happened last time...

But yes, for the hell of it, I decided to come back to LiveJournal. Blogs and Twitter don't quite offer the good old LJ feeling that only LiveJournal can offer.
Not sure how long I'll actually stay back in LJ, but I'll certainly be on a lot more, but maybe not posting.

Just wanted to stop in to make a lengthy post on what's on the mind, and what I've been doing.

First: Can you believe that it's almost the end of 2009? man... It's gone by fast, and we're nearing the end of the decade! ANOTHER decade! Kind of a strange feeling for me, but hey: I have to get used to it...
darn time...

Disney-wise, it hasn't been much for me. sadly, It has been OVER A YEAR since I've been to a Disney park. For me, that's not normal: It's nearly every year I go down to Disneyland. That wasn't the case this year, sadly.
what else disney... well, We had Up from Pixar, and The Princess & The Frog opened the past weekend... still need to check that out, along with fantastic mr fox...

Which brings me to something else: It's been a HELL of a year for animation. 2008 has been rather... Bare... And so has previous years...
But this year, we had Up, Princess & The Frog, 9, Coraline, Ponyo, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Monsters vs Aliens, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting... Even Toy Story & Toy Story II got re-released this year in 3D. Two words: ANIMATION OVERLOAD.
Can't help but wonder how the Oscars will go...

gaming wise, Still just been doing the usual Free Realms and doing the casual games on the Xbox 360.

This year overall? eh, Lets just say that I'm looking forward to a new year. still, There's been several highlights in this year:

-My mother, a breast cancer survivor, and my sister went to do a half-marathon in the city. I was there at the finish line to cheer them on. It was certainly a memorable time.

-This year I got into a, well, a relationship. It was fantastic, however, it was long-distance. We both recently, unfortunately, had to, well, call it off due to several difficulties, namely the distance in between and our future plans, but we still love each other very much...

-For the first time in 9 years, I had an allergy outbreak. My first food-related allergic reaction in over 10 years. (the last one, 9 years ago, was due pet-fur one bad winter visiting family). This time, I took a bite of pizza, which had pesto. I'm allergic to nuts, and this was like the slowest allergic reaction ever. Nearly an hour after the bite, the hives and eye puffiness kicked in. I was perfectly fine the whole time, as compared to the pet-fur incident (i could barely breath during that one). So fine, I even smiled the whole time I was at the emergency clinic at the hospital. I was treated well and swiftly, and it was like it never happened if you looked at me after it.

-The past Wednesday, I went to an awesome charity event called Umloud. The event was essentially having people play Rock Band (yes, the video game) live on the big stage, and it was certainly a fun night. All proceeds from the event go directly to Childs Play Charity, who provides toys and video games to children in hospitals world-wide. I'm happy to say that from that one night, we raised $6,000 to CP Charity, and that Child's Play has raised over one million dollars this year, and it was the fastest they've ever raised that amount of money!
Videos from the event can be seen from my YouTube feed...

-Speaking of things you'll find on my YouTube page: THE AQUABATS! This past Saturday, I had a blast seeing those ska-superheroes perform live. Was absolutely hilarious and fun... Not to mention tiring for me after jumping up and down and bobbin' my head, singing along as loudly as I can. I literally had to go to the back and escape from the crowd to get a breather and drink some water. still, Had a wonderful time with the Aquabat's antics, such as bringing up some kids (yes, little kids) up onto the stage and a giant-tortilla attack. yes, You heard that right. If you haven'd already, go check out The Aquabats!

-On the TV side, I'm really sad to see Monk go, but I loved how they ended the series. of course, I wished they could have done a little more with the finale, but it was still a satisfying end to Monk...

That's about all I can think of for this year. again, Nothing much happened this year, not even on my birthday... There has been a few other events this year, but that was earlier in the year, and I actually mentioned those already before leaving LiveJournal again... And I really, REALLY look forward to the next year and hope that it's a better year than this one was. It's been rather tough, but it's time to turn that around.

Here's to a new year, and happy holidays guys...

...now, To clean up my LJ friends list and mark all those 1000+ messages as "marked"...

testing, once again

I realized this account seeped into the wrong Facebook account. Just checking to see if it still is, or not...

Waaay-Post-E3: Who is the PSPgo for?

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 01:22:53 GMT

It's been over a week since E3 unleashed it's megaton of news on us. Now, i'm going to put out my two cents about the big news of the show, since I've now heard everyone else's thoughts already.

Today's post: The PSPgo

The PSPgo is Sony's new iteration of the current PSP handheld system. While it's a sweet seek system, there's some problems that I have with it.

A big one is the lack of UMD, and the price.
The PSPgo is completely supported by download-only games. Right now, there's several games that are on PlayStation Network's store, but Sony now says that every game they release on UMD will also be available on the PSN store: Something Japan's been doing for a while now. Removing the UMD drive offers some perks, like less bulk, less noise, and better battery life. However, as a person who has invested quite a bit of money on PSP games and movies, this new system is something I'm not looking forward because I have to re-buy my games again if I want to play it on the PSPgo.

My biggest problem is the price. The PSPgo is just so much to invest in if you're a PlayStation fan: It's a luxury device. While you do get to nicely tote around the a PSP without having to worry about memory sticks or UMDs, it comes at a price. A price of $249.99. That's a full $50 more than the usual PSP bundles that are out there for $199.99. At least with the bundles, you get a game, a movie/video, etc, but with the PSPgo: You don't get any extra perks. You might as well just compare it to the stand-alone PSP that's for $169.99 ($80 less than the PSPgo).
Also, if you already have the video-out plugs for the latest PSP's, you'll need to buy new ones for the PSPgo.
Do you have a Memory Stick Duo or two that you'd like to use on the PSPgo to expand it's memory even more? well, You can't: Buy another, newer, Memory Stick Micro to extend your PSPgo's memory.
And again, you will have to buy your games again as a download if you want to play them.

Aside from the price, let's go back to hardware:
The PSPgo seems perfect for me with the sliding screen. At first, I was unsure why we needed a sliding screen, but as a person who actually uses my PSP to listen to music and podcasts, it's perfect. No needing to have to worry if you put the 'hold' slider in place or buttons accidentally being pressed: Just slide down the screen and put your PSP in your pocket, or maybe around your neck. The PSPgo looks to be a good small size to hang from a lanyard, more so than the current PSPs.
However, a big issue with it is it's controller. The analog nub on the PSPgo is placed at an even more awkward position compared to the current PSPs. It kinda mirrors the look of the Dualshock controller but instead of having it diagonal to the D-pad or under the D-pad like the current PSPs, it's more to the right of the D-pad. This makes you having to extend your thumb a bit to use it instead of a more natural location like a DualShock, from what I see. And since there's many PSP games that are dependent on the analog nub, including the coming LittleBigPlanet PSP, that's a turn-off for me.

Overall, the PSPgo is a nice little new system from Sony, but who will actually get this? I have a PSP: I don't need to spend an additional $250 yet. Nothing in the PSPgo makes me tempted to buy it. The thing that would make me jump on this would be something that the PSPgo has been rumored to have: A touch screen.

Had there been a touch screen on the PSPgo, it could open up some new things for the PSP.
however, It doesn't. Maybe Sony will fix the PSPgo in future iterations, but the current one is not something for me.

Thankfully, Sony says that the PSPgo is not replacing the PSP-3000. It's another option for to-be PSP owners, but why?
Why have this pricey option for a PSP? If this isn't replacing the current one, why bother releasing it?

Sony seems to be release-happy to put out a new PSP each year, from the 2000 and 3000, and now go. Why can't Sony just hold off until they have a good model? Nintendo has only had 3 versions of the DS so far, and I feel that they spaced out each iteration nicely enough that it'll make you consider to upgrading. It became thinner, then added new functionality. The PSP? It now has 4 iterations, and I feel Sony should have waited it out. Instead of the PSP-2000, hold off until you fix everything even more with the PSP-3000. The PSPgo, i feel, shouldn't be released yet. They should have added more functionality with that and release it in the further future: Now is just too soon with the 3000 released recently, and there's not enough in this version that will make me jump to buy it.

How many will actually go on the PSPgo this fall? I guess we just have to wait until the NPD's release later this year...

Goodbye Metreon: End of an era for Sony's entertainment center a decade later

Sat, 06 Jun 2009 02:55:16 GMT

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009, nearly 10 years since it's opening, the one and only PlayStation Store in San Francisco closed at the Metreon building.
This is truly an end of an era for Metreon.

June 16, 1999, Sony has officially unveiled a new, multi-million dollar pet project (85 million, to be precise) to San Francisco called the Metreon. Metreon would be a sort of urban entertainment center for the digital age. Part theme park, part shopping and dining experience, and part showcase of technology for Sony.
It was unlike anything anyone has ever experienced before, and yet Sony had plans to do similar projects in other cities.

Ever since it's opening in 1999, I was a big fan of Metreon. Any chace I had to go down there, I did. Be it for the theaters, or to just drop by and experience it. And there was lots to experience at Metreon.
It was almost like Disney had their imagineers working for this place. There were 3 key 'attractions' that Metreon had: A FULL "Where The Wild Things Are" playground area along with an entires shopping and dining experience based around Maurice Sendak's work (wanna dine at "The Night Kitchen?"), a 3D attraction based off the works of David Macaulay's "The Way Things Work" book, and an entire arcade themed after French artist/graphic designer Jean "Moebius" Giraud's graphic novel.
There was also the Sony Theaters with IMAX screen, a unique food court, a Discovery Channel store, one of the only Microsoft stores, and 2 Sony showcase stores: Sony Style and The PlayStation Store.

From 1999 on, Metreon was the destination to visit in Downtown San Francisco for families and people of all ages...

...that is, Before at least 2006

Metreon and Sony in general was clearly having troubles by 2005, which was when some places in Metreon was closing down. By then, Microsoft and Discovery had left the complex, and I believe The Way Things Work attraction also closed by then. By 2006, the biggest attraction by far, being the entire top level of the complex devoted to Maurice Sendak, has also closed.

The problem Metreon was facing was just about the same problem the former F.A.O. Schartz toy store blocks away was experiencing: People came to look and play, but never pay. Metreon was a fantastic tourist spot, and even for the locals too, but considering how everything there was at a premium, it makes sense why there wasn't much money coming into Metreon. All the attractions were at a premium (yes, even the Where the Wild Things Are playground), the stores had default-prices with never any discounts, the food was a little pricey, and even the arcade was a bit pricer for the experience.
It was, in fact, a Disneyland in the term of prices.
however, Unlike Disneyland: You had all these other places down town to go to for alternatives instead of being stuck inside with no other price to compare to.

The only thing that kept making money was the theaters.

And like the F.A.O. store, things had to close.

Sony knew that Metreon was pulling them down, so they did the most logical thing for the company: Sell the complex.
The building fell into the hands of Westfield, who owns a massive amount of malls world wide, and heck: They own the huge re-opened mall across the street.
Even though Sony had nothing to do with the building now, Sony left the Sony Style and PlayStation store there to continue showcasing their technology.

Or so we thought.

Earlier this year, Sony said that they will finally close their stores at the Metreon building. Last month or so, it was the Sony Style store. 2 days ago: PlayStation.

The PlayStation store closing is one that's really near and dear to my heart. That was one location that I always loved to stop by. The store saw the launch of 3 PlayStation systems, as well as numerous game launches and special events. The place was a fantastic destination for PlayStation fans and for those who want to demo the PlayStation offerings.

While all the games were fine, what made the PlayStation store so great was the people.
The guys and girls at PlayStation were a fun bunch. They were extremely helpful and fun to talk to. It was generally agreed that the staff here is better than any you'd find at any other store. If only you can find people like these at your local GameStop or Best Buy.

Over the past 10 years, the store has had several changes, and I was there to experience it all.

Now, the store faces it's biggest change: Being empty.

All I want to say now is to all of those who have worked at the PlayStation Store is, well, thanks for the nearly 10 years of fun and good luck on your future endeavours.

The closing of the PlayStation Store pretty much ends an era for Metreon. Everything that you can find at Metreon today is essentially very different from the original vision back a decade ago:
The Sony Style and PlayStation stores: Empty. The Discovery Channel store: Now an indoor farmers market. The various kiosks in the atrium for Sony/Metron: Now kiosks for unrelated things, books, and deserts. The foodcourt: At least half is newer restaraunts or closed. The Way Things Work: Empty. The Moebius "Airtight Garage" arcade: Now a "TILT" arcade with standard arcade machines instead of new and unique games. The Microsoft store: An extention of TILT with the entire space literally filled with claw machines. The Maurice Sendak roof: Closed, empty, soon to be devoted on ONE SINGULAR RESTAURANT which will not be affordable to everybody...

The only thing that's still there is the theaters, which almost never changed and still brings in the people...

Right now: Westfield is not taking Metreon back to it's original vision of a hi-tech entertainment center for families: Now it's just part tackyness (there's arcade machines and kiddie coin-op rides scattered across the complex) and part premium foodie-paradise, both of which just doesn't mesh and make sense.

Being a big fan of Metreon as it was originally, the Metreon today just makes me sad.

with that said, All I have to say is: Goodbye, Metreon, and thanks for the memories over the past decade.
And screw your, Westfield. Damn your mass-mall-owning corporation to hell.

Random Musings: Why Do We Love Japan?

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:39:12 GMT

While I wait here for E3 to kick off for video gamers, I sit here waiting and watching the Travel Channel, where Anthony Bourdain's fantastic 'No Reservations' is in Japan. And I just can't help but think:
Why do we love Japan?

Seriously. Everybody loves Japan. There's no denying it.
I love Japan.

But WHY do we love Japan? Why do many of us really want to learn Japanese out of all the other languages on earth?

Is it because there's so many great things that come from Japan? From technology, entertainment, etc.

no, It's more of a simple thing: Culture.
granted, It's more complicated than that.

There's so much that's in the Japanese culture that many of us enjoy.
From it's history, it's art, it's style, it's humor, it's story telling, it's philosophy, it's way...

I think for the most part, Japan is very mysterious. In a good way.
Take away the current, futuristic japan and just look at ancient Japan. There's a beautiful quality there that can still tend to carry on to current-day Japan from tradition.

There's just so much one could talk about on why we love Japan. This would make a great essay. hell, You can write a book about it.
yet, It's still mysterious to me somehow. Everyone now just LOVES Japan.

so, Do the people who love Japan out there actually love every aspect of Japan, or just on a shallow level?
But even on a shallow level, you can't help but dive deep into other aspects of the Japanese culture and tradition.

I guess there's only one way to 'answer' this question: With another question.

What's not to love about Japan?

What I'm Reading: "The Future Shock" - An Epic Prank And Alternate Reality Game... For One Man...

Wed, 27 May 2009 20:54:18 GMT

Ever heard of a good prank? How about a perfect, epic prank?

Have a look at Kolin Pope. He was like any other gaming-loving teen until someone came to his doorstep, claiming that he was from the future...

"The Future Shock" tells a story of an epic prank, 3 years in the making. It started simple enough when a group of guys decided to look up the details of an online user named "Velocity Gnome", who, like everyone else, has left all his details about him online. They decided to make an entire mythology about his online alias and deliver him a scrapbook "from the future" about his heroic life.

But it didn't end there. The entire thing grew into an adventure that had him sent packing on a plane to save the future, and even grew even more. How much more did it grow? Does the phrase "Rock Opera" say anything to you?

If you have the time, you need to check out the full reading at http://www.thefutureshock.com/. It's just completely epic on what these guys put this one singluar person through for three years...

so, I think I've finally found my new blog...

Wed, 27 May 2009 06:54:43 GMT

Hey there. No matter if you found this on my Twitter page or my LiveJournal page, it doesn't really matter: I think I found my new blog.

For the longest time, I've been holding off and trying to find a blog host that suited my needs. I love Twitter and LiveJournal, but I needed something new. Something simple, yet not too simple enough not to do anything. It had to be clear of ads. It had to be simple. wait, I said that already. forget it...

But yeah: I needed a new blog, and I couldn't find one that suited me. Posterous if finally my answer.

Not only will it allow me to post whatever I want on my mind, but also publish photos and such, and all this will be 'broadcasted' to services like Twitter or LiveJournal and others without having to post twice. I love it.

Just wanted to put that out there, and hope to see more of ya (and more of me posting) soon...

Up, Up, And Away

Tue, 19 May 2009 06:42:56 GMT

Hey there, LiveJournal. I've neglected you for too long.

and granted, I don't know if i can really come back.

but alas, I'm back for now to express my anticipation for something that you might have already guessed about: UP

Back in March-ish, I essentially seen half of the movie, and I need to finish it.

thankfully, The time we've all been waiting for is just 10 days away. So close, yet so far.

I just cannot help but express my love from this movie. From the first 45 minutes that I've seen, there's just so much heart put in the movie that it may very well be Pixar's best.

It's not a movie that just packs in all the stars and gets all the writers in to out-do each other with the funniest gags and jokes: It's a movie of heart.

The first 10-15 mintues of the movie will make you realize that this is not like the other animated films out in the market right now. From the get-go, the movie sets you up emotionally for the adventure you're about to embark. By doing so, you really feel for our characters and you understand their struggles and actions.

Being that the film is helmed by Pete Docter, it's no surprise how well the movie is set up emotionally. He was the director of Monsters Inc, and in that film there was a great emotional setting made between Sulley and Boo that makes you feel bad when they both have to leave eachother, and overjoyed when they're reunited.
Imagine that feeling, but kicked up several notches for UP.

again, I just cannot wait for this movie, Pixar's 10th, to finally release to the masses. And damn it: If this doesn't take more awards this year than what WALL-E struggled to do last year: I don't know what's wrong with this world.

But enough of the UP-talk, I'm sure you had enough and get my point. How about other movies I wanna watch?

On the checklist:

-Star Trek: I know it's awesome, but I still have to see it. Maybe this week, but who knows....
-Night at the Museum 2: My family loved the first one, and it was a complete surprise and wonder to see. I didn't expect it to be that good and enjoyable. I want to see the sequel, but I'm just worried that they may be over-doing it a bit with this one and the charm from the first movie may not translate over.

I know there's other movies I want to check out, but those 2, and of course UP, are the ones I'm really psyched for this month.

well, That's all for this little update. Just wanted to drop by since I've been absent for so long. Life right now is a bit tough for me, but I'm still fightning through.

See you guys soon...

Things are looking UP at Wondercon

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 07:45:44 GMT

Hey there everyone.
'Everyone' being anyone who reads this, usually those who are 'watching' me on LJ.

but anyways, Day two of Wondercon is down, and I'm rather sad. So much fun stuff has happened, and tomorrow, well, in a few hours, today will be the last day.

What is Wondercon? The short version is that it's the Northern Californian smaller brother of the San Diego Comicon.
If you don't know what that is, well, I'm sad for you and make use of the computer you have sitting in front of you to find out. Just got home and I don't feel like elaborating and copying-pasting links on correct texts right now...

I can tell you a LOT of things about today, but I'll cut to the chase on the biggest part of the night:
I was able to preview the first 45 minutes of Disney/Pixar's latest film: UP

After a few words of Pete Docter (director, and also director of my one of my top-favorite pixar flicks, monsters inc), we flew into the movie, and-

well, I can't tell you.

But what I can tell you is that, even for just 45 minutes, there's already a promising film right there with a story that actually goes places and a story that tickles your emotions.
literally, The first 10-so minutes of the film will make you WEEP.
You thought killing off Nemo's mom in the begining of Finding Nemo was sad? You haven't seen UP's entire sweet-exposition that brings up to date to our poor main character.
You know how some stories want to have you in the same emotional mindset as our character and what not? You will get that, in the begining, non-the-less, and no doubt will they continue to pixar play with your heart strings later in the film.
When you see something that literally crushes our character's heart, you will feel it too.

But enough of the crying, I already used enough kleenex at the theater.
Hey, I always loved the emotional aspect of Monsters Inc, which is a reason why it's my top favorite, but Pete Docter really pushes it with UP, in a good way, hopefully.

But moving along for the sake of moving along, the movie has a TON of knee-slapping laughs to deliver, believe me!
The humor in UP is grade-A+ quality. If you watch this movie and DON'T literally Laugh Out LOUD at some of the jokes I encountered, you are a mean mean person.
There's already a running-gag that seems to have followed out of the theater. I'd say it, but I'd hate to ruin it.
The jokes that seem to work best are the physical ones that work with the wacky characters. god, I can just see all the merchandise now...

Kinda sounds like I'm shilling out to Disney/Pixar, huh? well, I'm getting no money out of this: Just another fan who loves their work. And this may just be their best.
i swear, If UP doesn't win even more oscars next year, that will be an utter shame.
If you're still iffy on the story, Don't
If there's a lesson I ever learned from Pixar, it was "Never underestimate them"
When I first saw Jesse the Cowgirl for Toy Story 2, I thought "That will never work!"
Seeing a trash-compacting robot in a romance movie, same reaction.
yet, They all just seem to work.

When I first heard early word about UP being about an grumpy old man and a perky little kid in the jungle, I thought Pixar might be crazy.... Again...
But seeing what I saw today has just sold me.

If you were somehow disappointed with WALL-E, somehow, (you know, as great as the movie is, it's still not entirely for everyone), you will enjoy UP. hell, Regardless if you do or don't: I can see this as beeing a top-rated film!

...eh, That is if the ending's right. still, So far from what I've seen, it' worth it.

-checks-

Looks like it's about time for my rest, so good night, and hopefully I'll talk a bit more about Wondercon soon, be it on LiveJournal or elsewhere...

EDIT: I'm thinking about (finally) making an UP fan LJ community... Just ironing out the possible name to place-hold...

(FYI: This was not in 3D. This was a regular 2D screening on a nice crisp-clean digital projector. however, Scenes in the sky do seem to pop, since the sky is all a neutral blue and colorful house/balloons stand out, and literally, it stands out where it kinda seems to have depth. well, That's if you get a screening with a good projector...)

Hello, Goodbye?

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 00:39:48 GMT

Hey there LiveJournal...

For a month, I've completely neglected you... no, Not you -points to you, the reader- personally, but 'you' meaning 'LiveJournal'...

I'm completely behind on all my communities and LJ friends, which sucks.

I'm not sure why I left LiveJournal. granted, It's not the first time...

It might be that LiveJournal just isn't cutting it for me anymore. i don't know... LJ is great and all, but I think I want another place to blog about...
Twitter is somewhere I'm regularly updating, and something I'm willing to check, and is easy to check.

Livejournal right now? Tough to go through. After a certain amount of posts, I can't go back on the Friends page, and I have to manually go through each community and friend LJ to see what I missed.

overall, LJ is a little too time-consuming for me, so don't expect much coming in the later days...

I don't want to bring this entire post on a downer note, so I just want to update you on a few things, and pose a question:

first off, I re-discovered a little fandom in the form of DVD sets:
Transformers Animated...
I never really was into the other forms of Transformers series, but 'Animated' is so fun, cute, and amusing enough for me to actually watch and enjoy.
that, And the complete awesomeness of Bumblebee! =D

kinda makes me miss 'Megas XLR'....
speaking of which, Try out "Fusion Fall" if you are ever a fan of any Cartoon Network property, or anything on Cartoon Network.
It's an Massively Multiplayer Online game featuring every, and I mean EVERY, CN character in their universe. From the recents like Ben 10, to classics like Power Puff Girls, Ed Edd and Eddy, Samurai Jack, etc.

-still watching tfa- hehehe... oh that bumblebee...

finally, There's something I always wanted to get into something for the longest time: Cosplay
I want to get into it, but never actually did. ok, I've done things like that one Ratatouille costume that one year (actually, twice), but that's it...
But this year, I actulally want to MAKE a costume instead of put together pre-existing things. granted, I still will be doing that with this costume, but still...
anyways, Here's the question I have, which I'm sure will make me slap my head in the future and say "Why didn't I think of that!", but hey, I'm a Cosplay noob:
What kind of fabric should I use that's flesh-colored and see through, at least on the inside? also, Preferably stretchy...
I won't tell you what I plan to do, but I do plan to get it ready by the time Wondercon comes to San Francsico, which is by the end of the month...

ok, That's all for now.
If you want to read what I'm doing in the form of 140-or-less-character 'tweets' over on Twitter, where I pretty much post every-other hour...
If you recall, I had the Twitter updates automatically posted here on LiveJournal, but recently, there was a major malfunction that left a HUGE mess of a post previously. also, I feel it may have been annoying to others who are watching this LJ, where there's not enough original posts like this one.

anywho, I hope to do more on LiveJournal again soon, but again, it's a little too time consuming, which is especially bad for me while I'm in school.
But until I post again, be it here, a community, or in a the comments: I'll see you soon...

Yesterday In My Life (via twitter)...

GAH! If you saw a HUGE pile of nonsense, I appoligize. Loudtwitter must have gone haywire from all the Super Bowl tweets from last night.

also, Sorry for not being on LiveJournal for, like, A month... I'm completely out of the loop on any community I'm following right now... =(

Hope to see you soon..

15:19 -swearing incoherently- My box of various Disney hats flew off on the freeway. GAH! Some of them are $20+ and/or very rare now! -grumble- =( #
15:42 @TheDisneyBlog Some have them have been saved, but I'm still not sure what else was in there. It's off to eBay later today.. #
17:57 Motocross event at AT&T Park = Damn busy streets in the area... gah.. #
18:10 WOOT... Got my 3D glasses for tomorrow's Super Bowl Sunday Ad-nauseum/Chuck-day.. #
18:43 Spread word: Get your 3D glasses for Super Bowl Ads/Chuck at your local supermarket. Other 3D glasses will NOT WORK for this event.. #
18:50 I feel NBC has done a very poor job on informing the masses about the 3D events tomorrow/Monday. Many people out there are still confused.. #
19:20 Got your "ColorCode 3D" glasses for the Super Bowl/Chuck on NBC? Try out this little interactive 3D demo.. is.gd/hXFX #
21:42 Tried out "Manzanita Sol" AKA Apple Soda... It's OK.. #
22:00 If Scene It! Box Office Smash ever proves anything, it proves that I suck at movie trivia.. #
22:44 Swearing-like-a-sailor 13-year-olds on Xbox Live... fun... Too bad I can't tell who it is that's swearing on Viva Pinata Party Animals.. #
23:02 This kid keep repeating the same bad thing... Who to people live like this? #
23:06 *edit: HOW do people live like this? #
23:24 Sometimes, I wonder how some people on Xbox Live have a full 5-star reputation when they just don't... UGH... #
23:34 Checking out the 'Inside Xbox' videos before possibly sleeping.. #
23:39 Cutting out My 3D glasses for the Super Bowl ads & the Chuck episode. Interesting how it's a different color tone instead of red/blue.. #
00:00 Still find it amusing how there tends to be Sony Pictures marketing stuff on Microsoft's Xbox Live. Can't Sony do stuff on it's own grounds? #
01:36 That's enough 'You're in the Movies' making for tonight. speaking of which, Target has the game/camera bundle for just $29.99! GET IT NOW!!! #
01:38 Other Xbox deals: Best Buy has 12 months +1 Live Gold Membership for JUST $29.99 AS WELL! Save yourself some $20 bucks! #
01:40 @harrysaxon23 ah well. You won't miss much with the 3D.. It's just one big gimmick. a really fun gimmick, at that.. #
01:41 @katrus hah.. Good point. Sony: "Check out our new movies! But, uh, Don't watch our old ones on your Xbox's Instant Queue..." =P #
01:53 Other Deals: Target has the in-browser MMO "Fusion Fall" for Cartoon Network a box w/ printed guide, in-game items, & 4 months for $14.99! #
02:10 @ji1021 It is fast, but there's people out there that worry that data is sent over to Google.. #
02:11 gonna nap for now... See ya when the Super Bowl ads start! #
03:07 @katrus SHH! You're gonna give them ideas! #
