The War Begins...

The weather in this dammed state can fricking EAT ME.
...I'm not even kidding. Get back from Spring Break in Arizona on Wednesday, enjoy the warming weather until Sunday, when there's a bit of a chill, then look out of the window on Monday morning and there is fucking SNOW - EVERYWHERE. What in the HELL?! The stupid crap for crap! I could go on about this for hours, really, but I won't bore you with my angst and anger on the particular topic of the weather. I just promised myself I'd mention it in the rant, because dammit, it made me mad enough to do so. But onward.
Nothing much to report yet - only that as on Sunday my dear Web Guy Josiah is now 22, and as of last Friday we've been going out for a year-and-a-half. Yippee wahoot, much happiness and a good time was had by all. We celebrated Josiah's birthday the night before with a gaming party extraordinare, in which I played the most bizarre Playstation game I think I've ever SEEN - "Silhouette Mirage" - in which I battled a gigantic fish who would say things like "Mommy, my fins hurt," and "Mash, mash, mash." Wasted a good 45 minutes or so of my time dicking around with it (not having any kind of conception of how to play, my friend James patiently coaching me on the sidelines of how not to repeatedly die): whether it was because the game was actually FUN or because I just couldn't believe it existed, I don't know for sure, but Jeebus Bob, was it weird. Yeah. [I thought it looked kinda neat...I may have to buy a copy if/when I got the time - Josiah]
Oh, haven't mentioned it yet, feel like I should: my brother's excellent band, Girl Repellent, has just put out their second CD, "The Longer You Wait," and it fricking rocks. I was lucky enough to get my own copy already, and I think you should, because it absolutely kicks my ass with goodness. If you're in the Phoenix area, you may have already heard them on the Edge (radio station), or seen them in concert, in which case you already *know* how awesome they rawk, but if you haven't, hit their site, download the mp3s they've got shared, dig it, and buy their CD pronto. If you're in the market for some good punk - hell, good music OVERALL - I recommend it highly.
I wish to make the announcement that I want to go to the E3 - the Electronics Entertainment Expo, to the layman - more than nearly ANYTHING. I'd give you a pair of eyeteeth for a couple of passes, if I know they'd avail me anything. Since I heard Tycho and Gabe describe their adventures there way back in 00', I knew I HAD to go. No questions asked. Because when it comes down to it, E3 is the gamer Mecca, and if you CAN go, you DO go. Because it's just insane not to. So if you're going, and you just happen to have some extra tickets, Web Guy Josiah and I make excellent escorts. We're quiet, we're clean, and you don't have to housebreak us. Don't have room in the car? No problem! I'm sure the two of us wouldn't mind sharing the trunk. In fact, I might just speak for myself here, but I almost wouldn't mind being tied to the *roof* if it'd mean a ticket. The desperate have the lowest standards, and I believe I fall into that category when it comes to the E3. This is mostly because I *know* I have about a snail's chance versus a tank in terms of being able to go, so a chance that comes my way, I am SO there for. So please for to e-mail me with any possibilities, I'll find something keen (like original art? Eh, eh? Guest appearance? Custom sketch? Eh?) to repay you with or something. Yeah.
Well, I ought to get myself going, but I'll send future missives c/o this address, or whatever. Be cool, yo, and enjoy the weather if you're anywhere other than HERE.
Laugh while you can, monkey-boy.
