09:53 pm - My first DDR arcade experience!
First off, sorry for not posting very much. I've kinda been busy with my other blog and whatnot. Speaking of my other blog, here's a post from it that you might enjoy. It details my harrowing journey to the arcade...
So last weekend, a couple of out-of-town buddies called me up and wanted to hang out. Their idea? Go to the mall. A trip to the mall isn't really my idea of a good time, but I hadn't seen those guys in a while, so off we went. While at the mall, the subject of DDR came up. I'm not one to go to the mall often (probably 3-4 times a year), so naturally I don't play DDR at the arcade that often either. Oh, I guess the title of this post is kinda misleading then. It wasn't my "first" DDR Arcade experience; Just the first one where I was actually capable completing a song on my own... Anyway, it was decided that if Natrick* payed, Burtis* and I would dance for him. And dance we did. Did I mention there's videos? Yes, luckily my New Year's resolutions did not involve refraining from embarassing myself in front of the internet. So here's the result of our escapades: 
First we warmed up with "Get up 'n Move." I think this was on standard difficulty. I hadn't really played at the arcade before, and my feet kept getting stuck where the arrows are. I guess I need drag my feet less (it's easy when it's just the dance mat!).
There was a crowd of people behind us, but after realizing me and Burtis sucked, they all ran away to Hot Topic or something. 
Next off, we played "Look to the Sky" on standard mode. I forget which mix it was. I thought I combo'ed through it and would get a AA, but I only got an A.
This is when Burtis thought it would be a good idea to stop trying to stay alive and start showboating. I have to admit it, though, he's a great dancer. He even got a bunch of little kids to watch us!
Finally, we decided to go out with a bang and play "Mobo Moga" on heavy mode. I can sometimes AA this one at home if I'm lucky. Anyway, I tried to keep us alive, but it was for naught. We failed somewhere in the middle. If only Burtis would have concentrated!!!
Overall, it was a pretty fun excursion. I like the coolness of the metal pad, but it'd take some time to get used to. I think red octane sells a metal pad like the arcade, but it's like, $200! Maybe I'll buy a DDR Machine when I become a millionare...

09:03 pm - Everyone's a Lobo (woof woof woof)
So at the NMSU game last night (which we won by the way, just in case anyone was wondering), the Soundpack was forced to wear shitty Lobo Loco Shirts over their Soundpack shirts. Now, I'm all for school spirit, but does this look cool at all?
Didn't think so...

09:57 pm - Random Ad
I was just minding my own business at this website, when I saw this ad. What is the first thing you see when you look at this lady? Is it just me, or does it appear as though she has a vest on, and gigantic shoulders? That's what I saw at least. Anyway, I thought it was interesting so here it is on my blog.
PS I don't have any kind of deal with Vonage, and you can't click that ad anyway, so Vonage, dont' sue me!

06:09 pm - Yet another new blog.
 No, not this one! This is an old blog... I've decided to try my hand at commercial blogging, so I bought a domain name and setup a blog of my own. It's going to be mostly about Anime, games and technology, so if you're a nerd, check it out. If you're not, well check it out anyway! You can find it at http://www.basugasubakuhatsu.com/blog Let me know if it's cool looking or an eyesore.

11:32 am - How Deep is the Ocean?
How much do I love you?
Intangible.
I’ll tell you no lie.
How deep is the ocean?
Average depth (in meters):
Pacific: 4,188
Atlantic: 3,872
Indian: 3,872
How high is the sky?
The upper limit of the Earth's exosphere (the uppermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere) is approximately 10,000 km high.
How many times a day do I think of you?
Rate of thought during waking hours (10 per second) = 36000 thoughts per hour
Rate of thought during sleeping hours = 3600 thoughts per hour
Number of thoughts per day = 604800 thoughts per day
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
Depends on the current season, humidity levels, dewpoints, time of day, etc.
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
Assuming both of us are on the Earth, the farthest you could travel (taking the shortest path) is half of the Earth's circumference: 20037.58 km (assuming you are traveling along the surface of the earth)
How far is the journey
From here to a star?
The closest star to the Earth is the Sun, which is on approximately 1AU from Earth. The next closest star is Proxima Centauri, which is approximately 250,000AU away.
And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
Water makes up about 60f the human body. If one were to cry all of the water in his body out in tears, simply take (bodymass*.6)/mass of a single tear.
How deep is the ocean?
See above.
How high is the sky?
See above.

11:23 am - God, shave me!
I had this dream that I was shaving, with my electric shaver as always, and about halfway through the shave, the battery ran out! It was really stressful, because for some reason I was in a hurry (class or something), and now I would be late + only half my face would be shaven! I didn't really think to plug the shaver in. Anyway, when I woke up this morning I made sure to charge my shaver so something terrible like that doesn't really happen. I was curious as to what me dream meant (beside being a ghost of November 28 future), so I looked up shaving on dreemmoods.com. So apparently it means that:
To dream that you are shaving, suggests that you are making a minor
life-changing decision. Some aspect of your daily routine is being
altered. Alternatively, it may represent your severe attitude or self-
punishment.
Of course, it could just mean that I didn't shave all Thanksgiving weekend, and that I need a shave right now!

 Maybe I should rename this blog to: Adventures in Threadless.com. Anyway, there's a $10 sale going on today, and there's some awesome shirts. If only I had more torsos to wear them on... Yes, I'm a threadless whore, but at least I got some cool shirts!

10:22 pm - Google Print!
I'm supposed to be doing research on a paper due tomorrow, but I was checking out this neat tool and I thought I would write about it, in order to procrastinate even more! Google Print is, as you may have guessed, run by google, and lets you search inside the text of books. So if you searched "get thee to a nunnery," you could find all sorts of references to Hamlet. You can read a few pages in the book too, but they don't let you read the whole book, which would be awesome. Anyway, I guess it's a good tool for finding books, and also a nice tool to use for writing papers if you're doing it last minute and you need some references... Oh yeah, about that paper, I guess I should get started, eh?

06:29 pm - Oops I bought it again.
So seriously, threadless.com is freakin' awesome! The one shirt that I really wanted them to reprint got reprinted! And I bought it! And just so you know, you shouldn't start sentences with the word "and," but this is a blog post so I don't feel too bad in breaking that cardinal English rule. Anyway, the shirt is MP(3) and it has 3 MPs, and they've got instruments for weapons! Awesome!

09:05 pm - Songs about Dustin Hoffman
So I got my iTunes $10 gift certificate from Blingo.com the other day, and I finally used it to buy some music. I was gonna buy a iTunes exclusive TMBG album, but then I decided on getting some albums from that band, Of Montreal, that I blogged about earlier. The albums I got are "Early Four Track Recordings" and "Aldhils Arboretum." They were both only $4.49 each! The former has some interesting track titles. Here they are:
1. Dirty Dustin Hoffman Needs A Bath
2. Dustin Hoffman Gets A Bath
3. Dustin Hoffman Thinks About Eating Soap
4. Dustin Hoffman Scrubs Too Hard And Loses Soap
5. Dustin Hoffman Does Not Resist Temptation To Eat The Bathtub
6. Dustin Hoffman's Wife Comes Home
7. Dustin Hoffman's Wife Seems Suspicious About The Absent Tub
8. Dustin Hoffman Feigns Ignorance Of Missing Bathtub
9. Dustin Hoffman's Wife Calls In Detective To Dust For Porcelain Particles On Dustin Hoffman's Tongue
10. Dustin Hoffman’s Tongue Taken To Police Lab Where It Is Used As Toilet Paper and Reading Material While On The Toilet
11. Dustin Hoffman Offers Lame Possible Explanation For Missing Bathtub
12. Dustin Hoffman’s Wife Makes A Sarcastic Remark, Cuts The Head Off A Duck, Places It Where The Tub Was and Begins To Growl
13. Dustin Hoffman Becomes Indignant And Wets Himself
14. Dustin Hoffman Quits Bathroom And Climbs A Tree
15. Dustin Hoffman's Children Enter The Bathroom
16. Dustin Hoffman's Children Don't Enter The Bathroom
Seriously, how could I make this shit up even if I wanted to!? Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), the songs' contents don't really have anything to do with Dustin Hoffman. Even so, the songs are pretty cool, and I dig em, so I'm pretty happy with my "purchase." You should check em out if you're weird and/or you like weird ass music.

11:54 am - Death by 'ffeine?
Death by Caffeine takes your weight and tells you how many _____ it would take for you to die from caffeine overdose. I chose TAB to prove this calculator wrong. I contend that one whole TAB would cause me to lose all will to live. This is because TAB is totally gross. Anyway, try this calculator out if you're a suicidal coff-a-holic.

09:29 pm - Blingo, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
 Remember how I was blogging about that Blingo thing? Well today I actually won a $10 for iTunes! I was all, what the heck!? So anyway, I guess I read the rules wrong. If you sign up for blingo, I get your prize if you win, but not the other way around. Sorry if I seemed misleading. I was all happy for everyone who signed up as my friend too, but then I was all, oops, they don't win. You should still sign up though, cause I want your prizes! Yeah!

03:31 pm - Chicken Choking 101
 So there's this toy that teaches kids how to "choke the chicken." No, not that chicken! It's a toy chicken, called Choke-a-Chicken that you literally choke!
Michael Beatty, spokesman for the Queensland state branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, fumed: "What's next? Burn a cat? Shoot a dog?
Personally, I'd figure the next toys in this particular line would be: Spank a Monkey, or Groom a Wookie. Note: I did some extensive research on future toys over at Wikipedia.

Yeah! I posted all of my old blog posts from Ujournal.com and the good ones from xanga. Now they're all on freaking livejournal. I swear, livejournal, if you fuck with me, I'll cut ya!

08:52 pm - Blingo!
 So Blingo is this search engine (it uses google's search results) that gives you prizes for searching. That is, if you search at exactly the right time, you can get a prize like an iTunes gift certificate or a PSP or something. Only 10 searches count per day, so searching all day won't get you any better odds. Still, I'm going to try it to see if I can win anything. You should too. And sign up as my friend, that way, if I win, you'll get the same prize, and vice versa. Awesome, right?
|
08:50 pm - New Journal!
So I have a livejournal now. After having a ujournal and a xanga, and cocurrently writing on myspace. I'll try and see if I can import my old old posts into this journal. I'll also see if I should mirror this on myspace. I'd really like a concrete blogspace, but different people read stuff in different places, so that's probably not possible. Anyway, onto the posts!
