"...peasants line up all day, and I tell them to cut crap in half."

Status: Friday Night?

Who dominates the world YET AGAIN!? Me, man ... ME! I went with a different strategy this time of playing people who are far more interested in the DS than playing Risk ... seriously, how clever is that? Oh that, and being blood thirsty ... these people I play with they don't WANT it bad enough ... take lessons from my boy, Conan ... "lamentations of their woman" indeed!

Amanda is gone for now, apparently there will be no games with her until deep winter. Yet I have a new "smack talkin' " opponent. Apparently, Mike Judy claims my previous victory was due to his masterful placement of pieces during pre-game, and that I'm too cocky or something. Once he returns from like 90 year mid-western slash Canadian voyage ... he will get his chance to be proven wrong.

SIDE NOTE: Team Half-Alaska might need to be changed to the slightly more race-centric Partially White.

Movies?

Rocket Science: Awkward? Yes. Good? No.

It wasn't that bad. But I just have a few questions? Why did this movie have so much making out? Why is the dude who made it so st00dent? Did the dude who made this get a call from the guy who made Thumbsuckers suckers going, "Why are you jacking my stuff?" "What? Its nothing like Thumbsuckers?" "Really? Come on? COME ON ... COOOOME ON... come on ... ..."

Nah, like I completely understand why this movie was made. Its like taking the grandiose ideas of the typical movie: like winning over the girl, come from behind impossible victory, sweet sweet vengeance ... and showing you that they are unrealistic. Then you are to derive pleasure from this dude's constant failures... why? I can guarantee unless its like a dude wearing the world's like tightest black turtle neck and has the most primped messy hair is anyone going, "It was brilliant that bitch didn't get what she deserved. Its so real! Wasn't it real, Neal, my boyfriend .. Neal? You're a man, Neal is a man's name... let us go back to my 'flat' and continue to be gay and British."

Movie did have its moments, like the time it took the dude 3 tries to get the cello through the window and when his brother said, "DON'T EVER STEAL THE STUFF I'VE STOLEN!"

Stardust? What's with Clare Daine's face?

I've seen this movie too many times. Claire Daine's makes this face during one scene actually several faces. Its cute I guess, but really I can imagine the only way to get someone to make these faces is to ask them to "look more like a retard".

Anime?

Nana - Its over? Are you KIDDING ME!?

What?! Man, I was expecting the mother of all fall outs, a literal drama bomb, but instead I haven't felt so jipped since the ending of KareKano. Man, I'm not going to buy the comic ... I'm NOT!? SHUT UP, NO WAY MAN... NO WAY!

Anything Else?

No. I don't think so! I got to go buy some comic books!

Actually, why is the theme to Conan so good? dumdumdedum dadadumdedum DANANANAAaaa...

Your over-confidence will be your down fall...

Agenda? World domination?

So it seem I will get a chance to play Risk once more this summer. Amanda has not returned to MIT yet and from what I have heard she is the one that has demanded a rematch.

I should be saying things like: "Hey, Amanda. I didn't know you loved losing so much, you wanted to do it again?", "Amanda, its not that you were to weak, I was just too strong ... no, no actually you were weak, too. I was trying to be nice, but it was too big a lie not to be exposed ..." and "No the only loser here is 'YOU'! ... and your face."

But I will refrain because I will never forget once while playing Resident Evil ZER0. I made a haughty claim ... give me a moment as I flashback in my mind. After doing an tedious time-consuming puzzle, I was ready to engage the final boss, and Larri, a good friend and avid Resident Evil fan, was like "you better go back save or you'll have to do all that stuff again ..." and I dared to reply, "Nah, I'll just win instead." Oh, the heuvos I have!

WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING??? SAVING IS CRUCIAL. If you could save in real life you live right next to the thing; be it glimmering aura, a shiny floating crystal, mysteriously placed orb, a god damn tent... you'd never leave man you just be like ... "HELL YEAH, overwrite previous data!"

I'm sure you can guess, that I did not beat the boss. I received a stare and "man..." from Larri that felt like the equivalent of being in a stockade having to hear insults in British accents and/or being whipped.

Anything Else?

Umm, no idea. I think we must end our game at 12 am, so who knows what is going on after that ... I might see Stardust yet again. Damn this Asian blood ... a slave to light romantic comedies. Tomorrow going to have to see the Order of the Phoenix with the family, but probably going to check out this indy high school flick, Rocket Science. Ahh, I bet this movie has like a 89% chance of being painfully awkward 100% of the time.

"Bring me $20 worth of huevos. INMEDIATAMENTE!"

What the hell have you been up to since March 24, 2007 ???

"GET THAT CORN OUT OF MY FACE!" No, really how am I suppose remember the things I have done in that time? Well, I don't need to remember ... I'm pretty sure it was just playing WoW and going to work. Life has been pretty lame for these many months and that's how I like it.

Anything Memorable?

Out of all this time away, I think the most memorable thing that has happened is I played like the world's shortest game of Risk. We started playing at 9:30 and the world was completely dominated by 11:40.

"Two hours and ten minutes? That doesn't seem fast at all ..." "SHUT UP! You have never played Risk!" I deny that a normal game of Risk takes any less than 27 hours to complete, THAT is the bare minimum. I would normally set aside 37 hours just to play a single game, and most of the time that is not enough.

Who won? Me of course ... What was the secret of my success? Easy. Giving really bad advice to people who aren't me, and most importantly after they do what I suggested, not going ... "OH man, I can't believe you just did that . . . suckerrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

I do hope I get to play another game of Risk before the summer is out but I think one of our key players, Amanda, is back to school at MIT. I was just next to MIT last weekend. I guess I could have just rolled up in there and been like . . .

I guess that's why I didn't because I got nothing witty to say. It would have been a completely wasted to trip. I would have like showed up ... maybe shrugged and said, "These buildings look much nicer from the outside." She would have been, "Is that it? You traveled this far just for that? Loser!" Obviously around then I would feel bad ... man, how about this fake scenario has blown up in my face. I should really think these fantasies through before continuing with my thought. In retrospect in my head as I walking down the hall thinking I should have said, "The only "loser" here is your face."

Other Risk Highlights:

1. Wondered if it would be possible to phone-in a game of Risk while driving through the midwest.

2. When I took over Australia from Great Britain by way of Kamchatka.

3. I thought maybe we should play team Risk only because I wanted to call my team, Team Half-Alaska. I laughed for days over the name, why? Because one dude is from Alaska and I am not. Do you not see the genius?

4. This dude John. After starting the game in Africa, he eventually took over South America and called it "South Africa". Not hilarious. But hysterical when he started moving into North America in hopes of taking it over and calling it "North South Africa". Also, called this guy's three remaining troops "Delta Force Ural".

Anything Else?

Not really? I mean I did other stuff but I don't want to write about it. Will I continue to write at all? Who knows?
