trinityvixenAnd you all post like mad demons.
Carrie, see note I left, but I hate you and will never stop being jealous. Return of the King I might only have eviscerated you for. This is unforgivable, and prepare for a duel when we get back in the same time zone. Bring all the Nigels you want, I still call God as my champion. Where's you messiah now!!!!???
Right, so I've not slept because I was researching, taking notes, and finally writing a paper on gender and video games. Somehow I really doubt that's what the paper turned out to be. I'm getting amnesia really quickly because I didn't sleep. Last time, it took until I got the paper returned to forget I'd written any of it (I still am not sure that I did), but I honestly couldn't tell you anything about this paper except for the fact I almost used SomethingAwful as a resource in a footnote--to be fair, it was a reference to sites making fun of Max Payne, and SomethingAwful had this great review called Asshole Physics. I think I nixed it when I realized how bad it looked to have a formal entry in my bibliography that read:
Kyanka, Richard "Lowtax", 2003, "Max Payne 2 and Asshole Physics"
...in the first line. Things about last night were that I learned: (I swear that looked like English when I typed it)
--I'll never be a scary net forum-denizen (one more stupid kid tells me which gun he liked best in Max Payne and I'll tear his gun off)
--There is a Japanese language track for The Animatrix
--Thematrix.com is no longer counting down in days but in hours to Revolutions's premiere (which, let me repeat, I hate Carrie for seeing in a three-peat with the fire of a thousand suns)
--Most of the Hellsing Soundtrack sounds vaguely the same as the three songs I knew before last night (I have been making the acquaintance of the random play function on Winamp)
--Trying to play all your mp3s at once confuses winamp
--I have a lot of songs I've never listened to, especially by Pearl Jam, the Foo Fighters, and RHCP (thanks Rob), but I've managed to hear Jeremy and Wishlist twice, and all thirteen versions of Rob D's Furious Angels that are for some reason on my computer
--Going to lots of webpages sucks bandwidth (180 MB gone, and it's only midday on the 5th! I NEED BANDWIDTH TO SPARE FOR THE REVOLUTIONS TRAILER BEFORE FRIDAY)
--I think I've done all the quizzalla quizzes on Darren's LJ
--People with degrees write about video games with all the knowledge of monkeys minus their brains and the ability to type (they're still of this mindset that gaming hasn't, in fact, hit it big, which, be honest, it has--never been bigger, and it's getting more popular still)
And that's all I can remember, which is more than I remember of my paper, so that's not bad. I'm offline for a few days now. I need desperately to avoid anyone who's going to The Matrix Revolutions world premiere at like 12 am tonight (or 8 am in NY or 2 am in NZ, or whatever the hell it is--it's a monumentously stupid idea is what). It's not that I don't trust you to not say anything, it's just that I'm what we call a "spoiler virgin" at the moment (learned that from my class). I haven't seen the trailers (stupid bandwidth!), save for what's been on TV, and even that's too much (I scared everyone when I vaulted the table to be closer to the TV a week ago). I'm trying not to let it distract me for one, and for two, I'm trying not to go out before we go with FAS. It will be more fun that way, it will be more fun that way...it will be more fun that way...
And because I won't be online and can't get these to get some play in my profile, enjoy some
Buffy: The Vampire Slayer Quotes:
"Restless"
Riley: We're drawing up a plan for world domination. The key element? Coffeemakers that think.
Buffy: World domination? I-is that a good?
Riley: Baby, we're the government. It's what we do.
...
Computer Voice: The demons have escaped. Please run for your lives.
Adam: This could be trouble.
Riley: We better make a fort.
Adam: I'll get some pillows.
"Something Blue"
Spike: I'm chained in a bathtub drinkin' pig's blood from a novelty mug. Doesn't rank huge in the Zagat's Guide.
...
Giles: Are you...helping me?
Spike: Well, it's almost like you're my father-in-law, in'nt?
Buffy: See? This is how it's gonna be. Spike'll even take care of you while I'm at the magick shop. From now on, we're a family.
Giles: That's all right. I have more scotch.
...
Buffy: I'm getting married--can you believe it?
Riley: I don't think 'no' is a strong enough word.
...
Xander: Just think of my lips as the 'fruit roll-ups of love.' (pause) Okay, that was gross.
...
Buffy: Spike and I are getting married!
Xander: How? What? How?
Giles: Three excellent questions.
...
Buffy: Spike lips! Lips of Spike!

Date: 2003-11-05 01:51 am (UTC)*Shakes Head* you just couldn't manage could you? You couldn't wait an extra 40 hours and keep that promise could you?
Oh well, we'll make you pay for it somehow ;-)
