Victims of Science - Portal - The Device Has Been Modified (this was a mistake, i actually intended to play Choose Your Future first, so feel free to lol at me trying to recover after it plays)
Hyadain - Romancing Saga - Choose Your Future
The Dueling Dragons - MGS4 - Laughing Octopus
Harjawaldar - Gargoyle's Quest - In the Bitter Watches of Night
BONKERS - Pokémon Gold - The Victory
The PokéMEN - Pokémon Blue - The PokéMETALLY

felt out of it and botched up the beginning, so enjoy i guess

For the past week or something there's been this persistent burning smell. Burning or something like bacon cooking, even if no one is cooking any. I have no idea why, since I don't have a cold of any sort and feel perfectly fine otherwise. There's just this burning smell that won't go away.
It's weird.

So over the past two days I've apparently listened to Fireflies 175 times, mostly in a row. Other people do this with songs they like, right?

Thanksgiving was nice, and I made a lemon version of the amish bread that was apparently a hit, from what everyone said. I didn't actually have any myself just yet, but there's some downstairs I should try. I hope it turned out okay. I ran out of milk so I used 1/4cup instead of 1/2, but everyone said they couldn't tell the difference so hopefully it wasn't too important.

I wanted to make a big kind of thanks post yesterday, but I was so tired I ended up going to sleep instead. Today I woke up feeling very sad for reasons I can't quite place or talk about, but I'd feel bad not saying something anyway at least.

But I guess it's something that can be summed up pretty succintly anyway. I'm thankful that I have such a loving and awesome family, that I'm fortunate enough to have my health and food to eat and people that care about me. I'm thankful for their support, and I'm thankful for yours too.

I don't often mention it, it's probably obvious enough if you read between the lines, but I'm more insecure about some things than I tend to let on. Support from other people for whatever it is I'm doing always seems bizarre, almost unwarranted, but it's always appreciated. I expect people to abandon me for almost no reason at any moment; instead having your support when I go into some random fandom or another or babble about some stupid nonsense no one cares about is
I can't think of the word for it right now

but I'm thankful for it, that I know so many kind people. I only hope that I somehow brighten your days in return. That something that I do or say can make you smile when you feel down, as a way of thanking you for being there for me.
If that makes sense.


Unrelated, but man there is someone on youtube that holds a hilarious grudge against my Pikmin videos for some inexplicable reason. They keep spamming my userpage with ZARLA YOU SUCK AT PIKMIN I BET YOU NEVER EVEN BEAT TITAN DWEEVIL YOU ARE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE and they leave random insulting comments on the actual videos themselves, and I find it quite puzzling to be honest. Those videos aren't for them, so I don't particularly care if they like them or not and I've never responded to them in any way, and yet they seem insistent on flailing at me uselessly in comment after comment, screaming their hatred and rage for me like if they just do it loudly and long enough I'll eventually care about it and acknowledge them. I have no intention of doing that as you may guess, but it's still rather odd.
I suspect they may be a sock for someone trying to drive traffic to their Pikmin videos, but honestly even thinking that hard about it is boring enough. IT'S YOUTUBE, WHO CARES??

For thanksgiving I cleaned up a tenderloin, sliced it up, and made "hoagies" with Walmart bread and mushrooms, peppers, and onions. Not quite the same as turkey, but it'll do. It was good.

This year I'm thankful that I haven't wasted any major opportunities.

How bout you?

Do you ever find yourself thinking that if it weren't for an out-of-place element or 2 [e.g. a lousy scene in a film or a miscast actor or a passage of painfully clunky prose or a lousy song on a record] sticking in your craw to the point that it affects your overall opinion of the work & that if you could remove that [or those] thing(s) or have it/them altered somehow [not necessarily in a way that you imagined it, but somehow for the better] that the work would then be perfect or almost perfect?

The upstairs neighbours are moving & making a huge ruckus. I can hear debris falling behind the walls.

Jim Jarmusch is no stranger to pretentiousness & he's made movies that I don't particularly like, even if every earlier movie I've seen of his has at least a few things that I do like. I just finished watching The Limits of Control. At last, he has made a movie that I don't like at all. I guess I could appreciate someone who can appreciate & incorporate the cinematicness of bands like Boris & Earth, but still I said to myself while watching the movie "I think I get the point, but why bother?" I'm sure it's somebody's idea of a good movie, but I'm not sure whose.

Rewatched Short Cuts last night & is one of those movies that would be on the brink of perfection were it not for a couple moments of hamminess late in the film or its pat, contrived stab at symbolism ending.

Rewatching sketches w/ Christopher Walken makes me wish that he had his own variety show:

In retrospect, I wish I made a sincere attempt at working with my hands growing up. If so, I could've already been employed in a skilled trade. But maybe not. Do jobs still exist?
How does one get a job as a mugshot photographer?

Let me introduce you to my friends. Comment here with five things you are interested in (as specific or general as you'd like) and I will respond with at least one of my (hopefully active) lj-friends you should friend based on those interests.

(Since it is the holiday season, it might be as late as next week before I get all this done, but let's get this started now.)

I am the most original person you know.

I don't really have anything to say. My icons are kind of acting up on me; I had to re-upload Suit Up!. That was stupid.

Maybe next year I'll host Fangsgiving here at Headquarters. No meat or dairy allowed! ...Okay, well, maybe, perhaps by next year I'll be more lenient with dairy. We'll see. But totally no meat. Ever. Again.

i am thankful for:


* the music that richard youngs is making lately.

* coffee and scones on a drizzly morning.

*
"an artist whose canvas is murder":



* doris lessing's the golden notebook, even if it did take me 400 years to finish.

* whoever played drums on television's marquee moon.

* the intense ass-whuppin' those smug freakonomics nerds are getting over bio-engineering and climate change from just about every reasonable expert in the field.

* the general, thirty-something-ish "stability" that's settling in on my life (respectable job, committed relationship, etc.). i feel pretty cool and collected lately, but not in a complacent way. i think i finally feel like an adult.

* this photo:



p.s. is it me, or is "pardoning the turkey" the dumbest tradition ever? it bothers me in the same way that pep rallies and motivational speakers and customer service representatives bother me. there's nothing more repugnant than rehearsed pleasure.

tomorrow is my last class with my very first english class, the one i started teaching way back in september. can't believe it already! i feel a bit accomplished about it, excited to be able to go swimming on tuesdays or thursdays now if i feel like it, to have a bit more time to myself. a lot has changed since i accepted my first teaching contract. i finished my calls; i had to call about a dozen students for 20 mins every week and i am so glad that shitty contract is out of my life. a few of the students were real gems, and one even made me cry after our last call! she was amazing. it was great to see her confidence grow, and to be reminded of why i like teaching in the first place. she made me a mix cd of her favourite brazilian music (she's from brazil, and we talked a lot about it) and i felt really lucky to have taught her. what a sweetheart.

anyway! after this week, my schedule will look like this:
lundi: cap rouge, 12-1:30
mardi: ste foy, 4-6
mercredi: cap rouge, 12-1:30, ste foy 4-6 (cours privé avec elodie)
jeudi: vestiaire, 4-8
vendredi: ste foy, 3:30-5:30

so in grand total, i only work 13 hours in a week. which seems ridiculous, like duh julia of course you can't make ends meet. but it feels like so, so much more. factoring all my prep work and travel time, it turns into more like 30. the other big issue i have with the way i'm working now is that i'm working for three different companies, and even have one private client now. word gets around when you teach english. problem is, it pays SHIT. the rate itself is not bad, (i get paid anywhere between $15-$40 an hour, but the $40 ends tomorrow wah wah) but for the amount of prep work, travel and how hard it is to juggle all these different students at different levels is stressing me out way too much for too little pay. the only job i truly enjoy is le vestiaire, because it is a five minute walk, it's community based volunteer work, i get to organize a thrift shop! but it pays nothing. i wish i could find a balance of both.

the fact that i have no money is my first and last thought every day. can i scrounge up enough change for bus fare? will i be able to focus teaching in class since i have no food to bring for lunch? i can't remember the last time i've had such terrible money anxieties... probably second year (2005) when i was a full-time student working part-time at a shit convenience store. it really does a number on your self-worth to work, yet still not be able to pay rent, buy food, let alone reward yourself for your efforts every once in a while. it is a luxury to have a beer these days, when it feels like i need it most. if i'm unemployed and poor, i can accept that. i get off my ass and find a job. but if i'm working hard? and have nothing to show for it? i feel really worthless and anxious. i'm still paying simon back for oct/nov rent... and it's dec 1st on tuesday. ugh. on top of that, like clockwork every 6 months or so, i'm having issues with the national student loan centre. hopefully it will all be sorted out tomorrow, fingers crossed knock on wood.

my loved ones have been really good at being supportive, though. i really can't complain there. they invite me over for dinner because they know my cupboard/fridge is bare, they come over and watch comfort movies with me, and we make music together. those things are lovely and free. and honestly, i am very privileged... i have a roof over my head, and good people who love me and who i can depend on if it really came down to it.

this will change in 2010, though. i can't keep living like this, as much as i try and convince myself otherwise. it's showing in my moods and in my body. my body is hating on me, i grind my teeth so much more than normally, even when i'm awake my jaw just feels constantly clenched. my back aches, and the fact that i can't afford to put fresh veggies and fruit in my belly every day just makes it worse. I WILL MAKE THIS CHANGE. affirmative thinking. actions!

but! instead of all mopey mopey mopey, here are some good things!
- justyne is coming to visit me! she arrives on sunday and hopefully we'll have good weather and have a lovely time together. she has only been to québec city once before, earlier this summer.
- my friend jonas is playing a show tomorrow night and is crashing at my place... with a bunch of other lovely people i haven't met yet! should be fun. i love slumber parties, especially when i don't have to get up super early the next day.
- learning lots of new songs on the ukulele.
- wonderful postcards from faraway friends.
- yeah, it sucks that simon is gone (left for mexico last week for work) but it is nice to have an empty apartment every once in a while, to only have to clean up after yourself. not gonna lie, already miss the guy like crazy though.

Today I will attempt to upload the cheesemaking video onto facebook. After that, Sarah and I have to go travel to a (literally translated) Grey Hair University. Yes, it's where the elderly get together to learn. We're supposed to prepare an hour's lesson for elderly chinese people who don't know any english. I really just don't know where to start.

Speaking of Sarah and I, it's come to our attention that we've been committed to each other for roundabouts two years now. Neither of us really know the exact date when we started "going out", but we know it was a little ways after Thanksgiving. In some ways it seems like it's been a lot longer than that, in other ways it seems like it's been a lot shorter. Man, time does fly. In any case, I do hereby congradulate myself, and her, and us.

i posted this in the Linux Mint forums and the one answer i got didn't really help me. so let me try here:

after january i'm suppose to be getting a new laptop and i dont know which to choose-- are there laptops that are more compatible with linux (specifically linux mint) than others?

currently i have a Dell Inspiron 1521. i have a lot of mp3s, 2 movies that have yet to be released onto DVD, 3 nes games for my emulator. and a good number of pictures. other than that i use my laptop to surf, watch a few dvds here and there, and i workout with my music on it so it will need sturdy speakers...

even if you don't know which would be best for linux, based on what i told you, which laptop would be suited best for me and what i intend to use it for because i still don't know what makes a good laptop and what makes one poor.

thanks all

I'm going to take a deep breath and say this out loud, because I still don't fucking believe it.

When you hear the word "Chickenfoot," you think, maybe, of an episode of Invader Zim, about an insane, filthy man trapped in a chicken suit. Or, you know, you may think of an actual chicken's foot. I don't know what else you'd think of, honestly.

But would you ever dream there'd be a time when the word "Chickenfoot" would actually mean Joe Satriani, the bassist for Van Halen, Sammy Hagar and the drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers who looks like Will Ferrell?

Yeah, me neither. Nonetheless, I present you with the only song of theirs that charted at all (and is listened to entirely by fuckheads as old as the band who think that "young punks" should "take note" and/or guys who subscribe to Guitar World)...



"Oh Yeah"

And I thought Jay-Z needed to hang it up...well, I mean, he DOES, but these guys needed to, like, a decade ago, individually, not form a SUPERGROUP.

Aaaaaa so many things I need to do all piling up all of a sudden. :OO IT'D HELP IF I'D STOP SLEEPING TOO MUCH
I had weird horrible nightmares for half of last night, then had strangely complex dreams afterwards involving a strange RPGcast that included a teen Otacon, Huey Dewey and Louie, I THINK Strago, and probably some other people that I can't recall right now? ANYWAY IT WAS VERY STRANGE

I went to Alix's apartment to see what it was like the past few days and also to play Shadow Complex, since Alix has been on my case to play that for ages since it is apparently just like Super Metroid. AS ANYONE WHO'S KNOWN ME FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME KNOWS, I HAVE A VERY DEEP AND ABIDING LOVE FOR METROID so I was intrigued by this.

And true enough, Shadow Complex is very much like Super Metroid in terms of the system. The map system works on the same basic square setup as Super Metroid, which ?s for squares that have secrets and all that, and the upgrades to your dude follow the same basic pattern
Bombs -> Grenades
Ice Beam -> Foam
Speed Boots -> Friction Reducer
Missiles -> Missiles
And you can wall jump, sort of. But that's kind of where the similarity ends for me.

Shadow Complex focuses on a guy. Well no wait, let me do this correctly. Shadow Complex starts with you controlling a black dude in a super suit. There's a shootout, some ridiculous evil person says he killed the vice president, your black dude seems mildly inconvenienced by this, cue title.
Game actually starts, and who are you? SOME RANDOM WHITE GUY, WHAT A SURPRISE. I for one am shocked, shocked. I haven't beaten the game yet but the black dude has apparently vanished into the ether, never to be seen or mentioned again. Perhaps he will be the final boss or something.
Anyway your main guy is some white hipster douchebag who's so bland and unlikable that I'm not sure he has a name, or if he even has a name, I don't care what it is. He has a girlfriend. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS TO HER. IF YOU GUESSED SHE GETS KIDNAPPED SO HE HAS TO RESCUE HER, YOU WERE RIGHT!
She also gets beaten up so she can't walk, so you have to leave her behind in hiding and continue on without her after you rescue her. But then she gets kidnapped again, oh no! But then you rescue her again. And then she leaves, but you stay because you have ~unfinished business~.

where could this be going??? )

OH YEAH by the way guys if you try and friend me on Steam, let me know who you are. :O I DON'T KNOW WHAT WEIRD ALIASES PEOPLE USE ON STEAM MAN
also i wouldn't friend me hoping for scintillating conversation or a way to finally get around my avoidance of any kind of chat program, since i'm usually doing something that makes me less than chatty with a few exceptions. SPEAKING OF WHICH, SORRY IF I DON'T REPLY TO THINGS VERY QUICKLY

Need to do those christmas cards and that filler art, fix Fallout and work on that thing, finish that comic plotline I've had half-finished for like two weeks, did I owe someone a request or something? I think some chick wanted me to draw her Sue, I could do a quick boatchibi in oC or something. I really need to learn how to say no to people someday. AH WELL, IT'LL MAKE HER HAPPY

Also I have fallen in love with this song. It's very Postal Service, if you've heard any of their stuff. I LIKE BOOPY SYNTHPOP LIKE THIS SHUT UP

Man I've felt so shaky and tense lately, idk what that's about. I feel like there was something else I wanted to talk about but I can't remember it now. Ah well.

So a friend of mine is dealing with harassing phone calls from a creditor. She made some sort of arrangement (deferment?), they forgot about it or something, which made her behind, so she made another arrangement whereby they take some money out of her checking account automatically every two weeks. They call several times a day, every day, still. She misses most of the calls (she works regular business hours, Monday through Friday), but she gets them on the weekends. They'll phone, she'll answer, she'll inform them of the payment arrangements, and most of the time, they'll back off immediately upon verifying the accuracy of what she's saying. Usually, they stop the phone calls for the day, but they'll always start again the next day.

So I told her she doesn't need to deal with this, if she doesn't want to, and dug up the language for her to put in a letter to mail to them to make them stop. I figured some of you might benefit from it, too, so I thought I'd post it here. There's no need to pay anyone (at least in Louisiana) to "make the phone calls stop," as so many businesses advertise; just write them a letter with the correct information.

Read more... )

Now, this is for Louisiana, but I'd be surprised if at least some of the other states don't have similar statutes. Ours are searchable online, so perhaps yours are, too.

i've read about wendy babcock in the past. in EYE she spoke about her struggle to regain contact with, if not custody of, her son who was "...taken from her by Children’s Aid when his father — by then her common-law husband — called Toronto’s CAS and told them that he and Wendy didn’t want him". she only found about this when she came home from work to find the CAS had taken her son away.

in reading these two articles i at first thought "yay", and then i thought "but i don't know this lady..." and then it all became clear: I want to live a place where a former sex worker can become a lawyer and she does this with support from people who believe that this is good thing for her and the community. she has a site where you can donate. i want to help wendy do this. if only just a little.

The image, used by Bolivian police to hunt a killer, has been dubbed the world's worst photo-fit. Some have compared it a child's rendition of the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz.

But the mockery seems misplaced: police tracked down two suspects after the photo-fit's release.

Language is my whore, my mistress, my wife, my pen-friend, my check-out girl. Language is a complimentary moist lemon-scented cleansing square or handy freshen-up wipette. Language is the breath of God, the dew on a fresh apple, it's the soft rain of dust that falls into a shaft of morning sun when you pull from an old bookshelf a forgotten volume of erotic diaries; language is the faint scent of urine on a pair of boxer shorts, it's a half-remembered childhood birthday party, a creak on the stair, a spluttering match held to a frosted pane, the warm wet, trusting touch of a leaking nappy, the hulk of a charred Panzer, the underside of a granite boulder, the first downy growth on the upper lip of a Mediterranean girl, cobwebs long since overrun by an old Wellington boot.

Happy Malevolent M-Tuesday! I have been dropping the ball on my weekly prompts but am going to attempt to be more regular about it. Today's Malevolent M-Tuesday is brought to you by Charlotte the Spider.



I wish that when I went to sleep scared and lonely, a lady spider would tell me she was going to be my friend and then write nice messages about me with her web. I could do without her dying at the end of her natural lifespan to release tiny baby spiders into the air, but, you know, nobody's perfect.

Sometimes when I see how much the dvd of Nekromantik goes for I contemplate selling my copy.

But, I don't think I could do it.

Kinda. It's mostly just some relatively mellow (beat-wise, at least) rap stuff. Please listen to it - and leave a comment or something - for once.

oh yeah.

and we got rid of the dogs. they are living at FILs house now. we decided it was time. since the new house has all new carpets, we thought it would be nice to not have our place smell of dog pee.

this decision has been coming for months. it was not a surprise to either of us that it came so easily. still, I miss them. not as much as I expected, but I haven't exacly been a good provider for them since the baby came along.

we figure that when she is 3 or 4 there will be another fur ball to come live with us. too boot, we don't want to have to deal with the death of a dog and have her be so young. they aren't really AWAY, and we will see them all the time.

it feels strange to have the house so quiet though....

I love our new house. I love my bedroom. I love my kitchen. I love my new washer and dryer that we are getting friday. I love everything about this place.

words cannot describe how happy I am. our neighbors are delightful, if not a little nutty. they are already head over heels for reagan. we've been invited for thanksgiving, but will not be able to go, as we're headed to FILs house. lets just hope they don't get all crazy on me.

also, its snowing. barely, but its there.

Driving home from grocery shopping just now, I saw a young woman wearing leg warmers and flip-flops.
Let me repeat that; LEG WARMERS AND FLIP-FLOPS.
