Still Alive

I’m still alive!
I just don’t have time for a lot of things, especially blogging. Also, nothing super interesting is happening in my life that I feel like whoring out, so… Yeah, no updates here.
Sooooo over drama and college and depression.
Secret Santa, don’t judge me on the (lack of) content here :p
Update
2011-01-31 21:20
Oh man, I’m looking over my piece-work site and realizing how terrible a coder I was.
I haven’t updated any of my code o_o
I’m going to do so soon, I guess :)
Victory!

Obscurity saved me :)
I got my domain name back.
Booyah!

So I just found out 2 days ago that the .net version of this website got taken over. Yes, I let the domain name expire and shame on me :(
Regardless of what I did or didn’t do, the thing that bothers me the most is that some person from out of nowhere decided that they would take years worth of love and care I put into a project, take my name and turn it into something ugly.
I’m not talking literally here, they’re just here to make money so there are links all over the fucking place on that site.
But you know, the spirit of the site was there. It was attached to the name. It was MY name.
And it’s gone.
So I bought the name again, with the .org you see now. Not the same, but I’m hoping just as good. I keep typing in the .net version because I was so comfortable and familiar with it, and suddenly there’s something someone spent 2 minutes on, just to grab the most search hits and ad revenue.
It makes me sad.
Books
2010-08-14 09:08
I’m going to keep reviewing books I’ve read. I’ve read more this month than I did in the past year because I bought a nook and get enamored with technology pretty easily.
All right, I started off with Dune. I’d give it about 4/5 stars. It’s a classic, but I honestly don’t like Paul. The world is given to him on a silver platter, and he always has the right answer. Nothing compelling going on about him, and he’s the main fucking character. The ending was also kind of bizarre.
Next were the classics Pride and Prejudice and Treasure Island, the latter of which I hadn’t ever read. Barnes and Nobles were offering free classics, and I’m a sucker for free things. I personally love P&P, so 4/5, but TI was not my cup of tea 2.5/5.
Next off I reread the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I’d give it 4/5 stars again. The science is terribly outdated, but it’s still a lot of fun to read. But maybe I’m drawn to British humor :P
I’m stuck deciding on whether I want to keep reading Neal Stephenson’s Diamond Age. It’s way too jumpy for me. While I decide, I’m rereading Alice in Wonderland ‘cause it’s easy and I actually don’t hate it as much as I used to.

I, uh, updated this site. I also got a job 4 months out of college. I’ve moved out of my parent’s house.
Good times?
This may just turn into a recipe blog, because I totally don’t know what I have time for now :P
I'll let Fiona Apple speak for me
2009-03-27 11:53
Sometimes my mind don’t shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place where I’m begging for a lift
Or I’ll drown in the wonders and the was
And I’ll be your girl if you say it’s a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, I’ll be your pet if you just tell me it’s a gift
Cause I’m tired of whys choking on whys,
Just need a little because because
I let the beast in and then
I even tried forgiving him but it’s too soon
So I’ll fight again, again, again, again, again
And for a little while more
I’ll soar the uneven wind
Complain and blame the sterile land
But if you’re getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
I’m blooming within
Fast as you can
Baby wait watch me, I’ll be out
Fast as I can
Maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can
Leave me, let this thing run its route
Watchmen
2009-03-09 20:06
The worst thing about Watchmen was the dissonent soundtrack. Sure, thematically it fit, with the theme being 1985. But otherwise, WTF were they thinking?
I liked the changed end, except for the Very End where Dr. Manhattan leaves, and Laurie. Billy Crupe or whatever – his voice does not work. Physique, blue penis, maybe, but his voice does not work for Dr. Manhattan.
Awkward sex scenes, but I guess that’s the director’s schtick.
Slow pacing, too many flashbacks. But this was practically verbatim with the graphic novels. Works for Novels, for movies, maaaaaybe a little too boring.
One Piece
2009-03-01 21:29
I started reading One Piece some time ago. I’m up to the 533rd chapter.
It is like crack.
And of course, I have some theories that are probably totally unsupported at this time, but I gotta get it written out somewhere before I forget about it.
Let’s see, I’m all about romance, and although there ISN’T any romance in this manga at all, I still find ways to formulate connections.
Even though this is totally unsupported and totally subjective because I had a dream about this, I think Zoro and Nami would be cute together.
HOWEVER, I think Zoro would end up with that Marine Sword Chick that looks like the girl who died in his sword training camp thing. I mean, c’mon, if you make an emotional outburst, make a rushed promise, and then keep it for 15 years she’s obviously got an imprint on his mind. And honestly, she makes him act different. I think she’s the only one who does o_o (I think she’s the only one he ran away from because he was embarrassed/surprised – he’s a handsome fellow, hasn’t yet been perturbed by any pretty female — for real — and focuses on becoming the best swordsman in the world for the girl who died. And I really think it’s the Marine Sword Chick – the mangaka will explain it somehow.)
So who does Nami have? I think it’s Sanji. There are at least some solid hints Nami likes Sanji – when he wouldn’t hurt the C9 woman who turned people into soap, Nami “gave him points” for that, even though she said he was an idiot for getting hurt. I don’t need to explain Sanji much, he likes EVERY pretty woman and Nami’s been around the longest – and is the most accessible, ha.
Usopp ends up with the sick-but-now-is-a-doctor chick that gave the crew the Going Merry (sad, sad passage about the GM). I don’t know about Franky. Chopper is a reindeer. No clue about Nico Robin, even though I think she’s my favorite character. Oh, and I think the Amazonian Princess in love with Luffy is actually going to fall for Ace. Don’t ask me how. Luffy’s not a very good candidate for any girl…
Except maybe Princess Vivi. Wouldn’t THAT be grand? The Pirate King and the Princess of a pacifist nation :D
Also, I have finally finished some Harry Potter© fanart after 2 years o_o
