Hark! The Half-Japs Speak!

Hellooooo Kitty

2009-05-16T15:09:00.007-06:00

Shino: So I just went to a short interview at the Sanrio store in the mall, and since my mom's 2 Japanese friends work there, I am now HIRED!!! \(>0<) W007! Now I'll be surrounded by Hello Kitty and other cute things while making sure little kids don't steal or eat our candies! D:<

And now it's time for "Shino's Weird-Ass Stupid Pictures":

Again I had a LOT of empty space left on a homework so I drew this shit... Like I said, I can't believe I almost spent an hour on just those drawings...... orz

A shirt I'm gonna throw away cuz I've been wearing it for like 7 years now. Most of the glitter's gone and it's kinda childish anyways. I still think it's pretty hilarious though since my eyes suck and all... (^_^; )

We went to our grandparents' house in St.George during Da Levsta's spring break/Eastor before their second mission in THE PHLIPPIN PHILIPPINES. These are our eggs. I did the blue and orange one. The blue one is Italy from Axis Powers Hetalia (Pastaaaaaa! <3). What's crazy is that Levsta and I both made the orange and pink one at the same time, and it was total coincidence that we both drew THE EXACT SAME FACE. WTF MAN THAT'S AWESOME AMIRITE!?!!?? 8D

Da Levsta slept on the floor while there. He got the ballerina blanket. The whole ROOM was actually pink/pretty/frilly with dolls. XD

We also drew some mini-frisbees there. This is mine of Hatsune Miku. Not references, and not bad IMO. (^_^; ) Levsta's was just a random ugly face, you don't wanna see it. We both got to hide the eggs for the little cousins' easter egg hunt. That was cool/a first. XD

Gosh, sorry these are all so OLD. Did I tell you I got a LiveJournal account now too? I'll put it in the links later. Goodbye Kitty!

Doopity Doop

Shino: Wow, I actually don't have a shit-load of homework this week! ZOMG1!! So I'm gonna show you some funny, real life pics.

These are all the comics Papa got us when he got back from Japan a few weeks ago. You can't see all the Bleach though cuz I just stacked 'em. :P He got us 11 through 30. (And YES, they're all Japanese.)

NOW here's all the Bleach we have! I've only read to volume 10 and Da Levsta hasn't read any so we've got something to look forward to. XD

Look at problem 11, in the middle. This book for a chemical engineering class sometimes has fake-problems like that. Another problem (which I can't find) explained for like a paragraph a problem then said at the end "...but this problem is too hard for your level so just go watch a movie like "Dances with Wolves" which is the author's favorite movie. LOLWUT?? XDDDDD

Ayakashis, Youkais, and Mononokes, Oh My!

2009-03-16T21:08:00.003-06:00

Shino: Did I ever tell you I help translate Japanese manga into english online? Well I joined Fate Scanslations a few months ago, about last fall, and have translated 5 chapters now. The one I just finished translating today (all in one day, go me!) is some weird one-shot version of Shounen Onmyouji. Supposedly it was "cursed" at Fate cuz so many people refused to translate it, or they quit during its translation. XDDDD So now I am the Curse Breaker!! *guts*

Before I translated it, I looked up a little about it and it was originally a series of light-novels with a manga and anime version, so I decided to check out the anime. So now I like it, so I'm gonna watch the rest since there's only like 26 episodes I think.

Anyways, while watching the anime, these are some little/cool things I found out:

Kamina from Gurren Lagann's voice actor is in here as Guren (LOL), and he's also America in Hetalia, and Tsuruga Ren in Skip Beat!. You already know how I recently got into Hetalia, but I forgot to mention that about last week I got into the manga/anime Skip Beat!. It's pretty shoujo-isc but I'm a sucker for love stories and it's awesome cuz the main heroine has such an evil dark side. XD Oh, and he's also Komui Lee in D.Gray-man.

Father Alexander Anderson from Hellsing's voice actor is also in here as the first main bad guy. It's funny cuz he was also Chiyo-chan's cat-dad in Azumanga Daioh, and since he's a priest-Father, and a dad-Father, Da Levsta and I just call him "Otou-san" which is Japanese for dad/father. XDDD

The young Abe no Seimei I found out was Katsura's voice actor from Gintama. THEN I found out he's also Inumaru from The Law of Ueki, and Gaara from Naruto who I knew did Fisheye from Sailor Moon Super S. That's a little surprising, I didn't know Katsura was Gaara! It was weird enough when I first found out Gaara did Fisheye, and now it's weird again knowing Katsura did Gaara!

Well, that's enough voice actor fangirling for me. (God I'm such an otaku...... -o-; ) Now to watch more Shounen Onmyouji. XP

EDIT: After finished watching it, I found out there's also Naruto's voice actress and Baikinman's voice actor in Shounen Onmyouji. XD

Pardon me, but may I barfeth upon thee?

2009-03-14T17:40:00.003-06:00

Shino: Ugh, I gotta get this stuff off my chest. So like 2 weeks ago I saw the movie "Coraline" in 3D. It was awesome/cool/creepy/cute/weird/etc. BUT!!! Another awesome thing is one of the trailers I saw before it even started! About 2 years ago I went and saw the Animation Show (remember? I think I even blogged about it and linked to some stuff), and one of the short movies was called "9" by Shane Acker. Now, on September 9th this year (so on 9/9/09) it's coming out as a real movie with Tim Burton!! ZOMIGOSH!!!1!!1!11 And now it's gonna have voices, and a plot, and action, and a whole bunch of awesome crap! AND THE DATE IT COMES OUT IS AWESOME TOO!!!!

Original "9" movie

Theatrical "9" Trailer

Speaking of movies, the Dragon Ball movie is finally coming out this year too (I think). Hamasaki Ayumi did the ending song (I think) so my mom downloaded it. (^_^;) And speaking of movies again, I heard that Tim Burton is also making a darker/cooler version of "Alice in Wonderland" and that Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter. But I think I've heard they were also going to make a movie version of "American McGee's Alice" (which was a dark game), so I don't know what's going on anymore but I don't care and can't wait for all these awesome new movies to come out! (>w<)

Ugh, and even MORE about movies, there's a manga version of "High School Musical" in Japan. Levsta found it out from somebody he watches on deviantART. And I also found out from dA a while ago that in the Japanese version of "Twilight", there are a few manga-like picture/pages in there. BLEARGH. STUPID TEEN MOVIES!!! But you can't deny that the manga versions look SOOO much cooler... *loves Japan no matter what*

ANYWAYS, back to Coraline, but we had like an hour to kill before it actually started so Da Levsta and I went to the game arcade and on one of the crane games, for 50 cents, on the first try without much hope in my mind, I got a doll. A Pokemon doll, a Piplup, to be precise. It's cute and it's probably like the first time I've won a crane game so I don't care WHAT it is so shut up. Well, I'm done ranting for now, TTYL LOL WUT WTFBBQ?

MOAR ANIMUZ PLZ KTHNXBAI

2009-03-06T18:01:00.003-07:00

Shino: DANG IT!!! DX I want to read REBORN! manga but the site I go to to read the raws (MangaHelpers.com) is being stupid right now so I can't read ANYTHING right now!! So I'm gonna waste my time here and tell you stuff I've been wanting to say but kept forgetting. Here's to hoping I don't forget WHILE I'm typing (like always... XD).

I found this out from the Eyeshield 21 anime but since 1999, every 4 years they have an Amercian Football World Cup. AND JAPAN WON FIRST PLACE THE FIRST 2 TIMES, AND SECOND IN THE 2007 GAME. (Which was HELD in Japan BTW) I thought that was pretty rad. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page about it for more info:

Wiki Wiki

(>.>) . . . What? I couldn't think of a good link-title...

Spring Break's coming up soon and I get a whole week off. I wonder what I should do? Draw, maybe?? PSSSH, yeah right! Who do you think I am!? Someone who has good time-management skillz or something!!? XDDD But yeah, I'm starting to suffer from Art Withdrawal Symptoms. You know, getting sad/mad about wasting time doing homework/other-important-things you COULD have spent on drawing.

Oh yeah, Da Levsta and I watched the first 5 episodes of Axis Powers Hetalia. I don't think he'll continue watching it, but we both think it's an awesome idea to personify countries. We gotta try reading it too. Here's info on it (again, from your ol' pal Mr. Pedia):

Hetalia

Did I tell you how much we also love Hellsing? 8D We watched the anime in (mostly) English, then the 5 out of 7 OVA's that are out so far in Japanese. And DAMN is the anime pretty bad compared to the OVA! At first it was still cool cuz Alucard is cool no matter what, but police-girl SUCKED. So yeah, I can't wait till the last 2 OVA's come out. Too bad that series is over now too. *sigh* So many good anime's ending so soon... *sniff*

One last random real-life info for you all. There's this one little crossroad on my way to school. All roads leading to it are one lane so just a 4-way stop sign would probably suffice but they have a light, which is OK since it's a kinda busy road. The only problem I have with it is that it has FIVE FREAKING LIGHTS. And they ALL work. It's not like 1 or 2 died so they had to replace them, there's just 5 lights all...there. And like 3 of them have lights on all four-sides anyway so you could have just ONE of those and be fine! Graaaaarrr WFT MATE!!? I'll take a picture of it later...when/if I remember. XP

YA-HA!!

2009-02-24T20:57:00.002-07:00

Shino: I JUST FINISHED WATCHING ALL 145 EPISODES OF EYESHIELD 21!!!! YAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Now I'm gonna catch up on the manga. I only read up to book 19, and I just found out yesterday that the english versions of ES21 have gone further than me! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. The only problem is I only have up to book 23 in Japanese (on the computer) and I haven't been able to find any more. There's a bunch of translated chapters, or the RAWS I can find are like on book 30 so I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

BUT WHO CARES!!? I FREAKIN' JUST FINISHED WATCHING EYESHIELD!!!

I was screaming the whole day cuz I watched the last 13 episodes all today. So now I'm gonna go read the books I DO have. Another pointless dilemma I'm in is I'm also starting to get back into REBORN! too...I wanna start reading/watching it again. And Gintama. And Bleach. And IT JUST NEVER ENDS. 8D

AND I'M ALRIGHT WITH THAT.

Touchdown!!

2009-01-30T22:38:00.002-07:00

Shino: I dunno why I still start these off with my name since Da Levsta HARDLY writes here anymore... XD I keep telling myself to do homework too, but it's a freakin' friday night! Whaddya expect from me!!? XDDDD

So what am I doing that makes me fill up with guilt? FOOTBALL. I watched like 10 Eyeshield 21 episodes tonight (I stopped watching it a few months because I caught up to the anime) so now I'm on episode 104. W007!! And now I'm watching "Monk" which is an episode about football, and after that I'm gonna watch "Psych" which is ALSO an episode about football! At first I was thinking "What a coincidence!" but then I remembered that the Super Bowl was this sunday. XD I must have felt the football vibe in the air and that made me want to watch Eyeshield again.

Another anime I watched (Da Levsta too) is Azumanga Daioh. We finished watching it in like a week. IT WAS SOOO CUTE. Now I know why I keep seeing anime-videos with it in it. I actually saw the manga a few years ago, but it was in english and I was young and naive so I thought it was just some American wannabe manga-style copy-cat. XD

And again I was gonna ramble on about some other stuff but I forgot and I must now commence watching Psych. ADIUE!

Go Go I-Go!

2009-01-09T12:03:00.004-07:00

Shino: Silly me! It's not a Hikaru no Go OVA, it's a new years special that continues the manga story a little more. (^_^;) So I guess I didn't really have to read the manga, but oh well. Like I always say, the manga is better than the anime. Now I gotta do that with Death Note one day. |D THAT IS ALL. 8D

The Spirits Are Always With You

2009-01-08T19:09:00.004-07:00

Shino: So a few days before Christmas I decided to watch Hikaru no Go finally because it was a short (75 episodes) anime that was on my "Anime To Watch" List. 2 days later, Da Levsta, who lives a 20 minute drive away, started watching it too and kinda getting interested in Go. (He stopped watching it, but he still wants to learn Go.) IT'S LIKE WE HAVE THE SAME THOUGHT PATTERNS AMIRITE??? 8D

So I watched that in like a week (cried near the end, read a few FanFictions...) but then I found out the manga actually goes a little furthur than the anime so I HAD to read the manga too. I'd only read up to like book 7 (out of 23) in English like a year or two ago, so I just started there. That took about 3 days to read it all, and I JUST finished reading it like an hour ago. All I have to do now to cross Hikaru no Go out of my life for good is to download the music and watch the OVA of it. XD In Japan there are 2 GameBoy Advance and 1 GameCube game for it and I kinda wish I could have one to learn how to play Go. (^_^;) My dad wants to learn too, and the only thing I could think of on how to learn is online or look for some kifu or tsume Go to practice with. *sigh* Well, maybe later...

Another series I got into is 07-GHOST. It's a monthly Shoujo manga, but the anime is supposed to start this year. SQUEEL!! And I read all the chapters in RAW Japanese form except the first 6 chapters. (I read HikaGo RAW too BTW.) I also listened to the drama CD of it just now. :P

Now that I think about it, there's ONE more series I got into and that's Tegami Bachi aka Letter Bee. It was one of the anime you could watch from that Shonen Jump anime tour site. I always thought it was cute, and after watching the anime, I read it too. Go too mangahelpers.com or onemanga.com to read it. Mangahelpers has them RAW, so I like it more now. XP

I dunno, I feel like I could of done more during my break, seeing as school starts on monday and all (CRAP!!!). I watched a TON of anime last year (Eyeshield 21, Reborn, Gurren Lagann, OoFuri...) but I guess I read more this year. I didn't meet any friends either. Crap. I gotta get comic books and a game back from these 2 guys before I/they forget! Hope you guys got some cool stuff/memories from your Christmas breaks, ciaociao!

X-MAS TO THE X-TREME!!!!!!!!

2008-12-30T23:36:00.000-07:00

Shino: Just some pictues of some stuff we got for Christmas. XD Da Levsta and I both got canes, monocles and stopwatches!! (You only see mine here though.) Da Levsta got 2 stopwatches, but they were both battery powered, so he returned them to get one good ol' fashioned winding stopwatch. AWESOME!

I got both Elizabeth and Justaway (from Gintama), but I decided to give the Justaway to Da Levsta since technically HE loves Gintama more than me. (^_^;) We both also got a Domo-kun doll from my mom, but no picture here. I also got the Bleach artbook *squeels* and the whole family gets to share the Optimus Prime voice-changer helmet. Stupid but fun.

ALSO!!! Just yesterday, I got THIS in the mail:

e1n's free giftcard!

Seriously, he just gave 20 of these for free on people from deviantART and I was luckily one of them!! *SQUEEPLOSION* I will treasure it forever, and it's on my wall now. I gotta draw something he likes and dedicate it to him someday. I'm thinking something Gintama or Fairy Tail related since they're not so well known. :P

HAPPY WINTER BREAK GUYS!!!!

Gintaman

2008-12-21T11:29:00.007-07:00

Shino: Since finals are over, I was so pumped to do art, I drew Da Levsta in his kilt. Go to his deviantART page to look at it. You know what? I think I always made the "D" in "Da Levsta" lower-case before, but he says it's supposed to be capitalized, so I'm gonna do that now. I think I liked it better as "da Levsta" still though...... (>_>) But then, I was still pumped to do art, so the next day I finished writing "Touyakou" (Lake Touya) on the other side of his bokutou/wooden sword. I wrote on one side like in the summer, but then just didn't feel like finshing it until yesterday. XDDDDD

So here's some lame-ass pictures of me KINDA dressed like Gin from Gintama posing with it. I just used stuff in my room to dress up like this. I call it, IMPROVISED COSPLAYING:

And here's an older picture (when my hair was shorter, but also tied in the back) of me KINDA dressed up as Sanji fron One Piece. I have his Mr.Prince yellow glasses so I decided to put them to good use. :P

Tales of the Union, part V

2008-12-16T11:56:00.003-07:00

Shino: Well, it's final's week now. Had my first test today. And boy, let me tell you, it's just been one bad thing after another, time wise! D:

FIRST, it started snowing, so my bus was like 5 minutes late. Not too bad, right? BUT, because of traffic and snow, my bus was slower than usual so instead of getting to class 10 minutes early as always, I was like 30 minutes late. I had my 2 hr test, and luckily my teacher let people stay an extra 15 minutes for those who came in late like me. BUT THEN, because I stayed that extra 15 minutes, I missed my bus back home, so now I had to wait an hour. Not that bad, cuz I just played around on the computers while waiting for the next bus. SO, I thought that the bus would maybe be like 1 or 2 minutes late cuz of the snow, so I left like 1 minute later than normal. BUT OF COARSE, the buses were getting smarter and decided to come 1 minute EARLIER than normal because of the snow, so I missed my bus by ONE MINUTE.

So I called my dad to come pick me up, and he kinda couldn't an hour ago because it was snowing too much but now he can cuz the snow kinda stopped. It would probably take him 20 minutes to get here. BUT THEN (AGAIN), his girlfriend who lives with us accidentally took my car keys with her, so now she has to drive home from work to drop them off, which will take ANOTHER 20 minutes. So all in all, I probably could have gone home TWO HOURS ago, but because of the very first bus making me late for my test, there was a chain reaction and here I am complaining to you while waiting for about 30 minutes until my dad gets here. GEEZ WHAT THE CRAP GUYS. XD

And now for something completely different.

I found this ad while on deviantART, and it's actually for something GOOD! (Who knew!) Cuz ads are usually just soooo stupid!! D:< Well, it was for the SHONEN JUMP Super Anime Tour!!! I kinda heard of it before, but didn't care cuz I thought it was only in some city in Japan, BUTT!! They actually have really cool stuff online too!!!!!!! The only problem I have is you have to have a Windows to download and install the browser from there, so I can't watch it. So I went to YouTube and found it there! :D

They have like 3 anime's you can watch: One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Letter Bee. I don't care that much about Dragon Ball, but One Piece: Romance Dawn Story, is like a remake of the first beta-version of One Piece when Oda was still making ideas for it! And Letter Bee is this new anime that looks pretty cute, so I'll look at that later. :3

But anyways, they've also got some manga you can read, and two of them I wanna read NO MATTER WHAT. It's the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Death Note creator's switch places!!! So they each draw their own version of the other's story! The most serious manga about death, and the most ridiculous manga about nose-hairs crossover!! XDDDDD Well, have fun looking at this stuff!

SHONEN JUMP Super Anime Tour main site

One Piece: Romance Dawn Story part 1/4 on YouTube

L!VE

2008-11-23T00:08:00.002-07:00

Shino: So I watched that YouTube LIVE thing today. Pretty cool. Can't wait to see YouTube LIVE in Tokyo tomorrow too. Crap, I've got HW and shopping to do though...! D:< Oh well, maybe I'll watch it later then since I've got a lot of HW and stuff to do for school before our little Thanksgiving Break.

Shit, what the crap am I doing up this late!? (Well, it's late to ME okay!?) Well, this is gonna just be a short post then so I can hurry up and go to bed. Here, take a look at this funny tale then. My group member in a class got it as a text, but I found it online:

YOU DON'T KNOW JACK SHIT

For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt? We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt!" Well, thanks to my genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way.

Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt.

Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married Miss O. Needeep They had one son, Jack.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deap Schitt and Dip Schitt.

Against her parents' objections, Deap Schitt married her cousin Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced.

Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and, because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt Sherlock.

Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition named Chick N. Schitt.

Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.

The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials.

The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Hoarse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.

Now when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt," you can correct them.

A YouTube video of this.

Tales of the Union, part IV

2008-11-19T18:52:00.000-07:00

Shino: Did you know that on clocks, they use IIII, instead of IV for the 4!? Something about it looking better that way or something.

Anyways, I guess this can't really be called the Tales of the "Union" anymore since I don't ever go to the Union building any more. (^_^;) But anything school related can fit in here I guess.

Like for one, my Physical Chemistry teacher, Prof. Truong, is some kind of Asian, not Chinese I don't think, but he has a pretty heavy Asian accent. Well, his voice and how he speaks reminds me of the actor James Hong, who I remember his voice as the advisor in "Mulan."

And another thing! There's this pretty curly-red haired/bearded guy in my classes, and I SWEAR I saw someone that looked and sounded JUST like him in "The 40-year Old Virgin." I only saw the end of the movie randomly on the TV when they're all dancing/singing though so maybe I'm wrong. I tried looking up who it is, but so far I think it might have been Seth Rogen, that kinda-fat guy from "Knocked Up" and "Pineapple Express", but his voice and height just doesn't seem right... Maybe I just remembered wrongly...... OH WELL!!!

While in the Engineering Computer Lab, I saw someone with Luffy's pirate flag as their desktop image! XD I tried changing mine too, but I can't somehow. It's been disabled. :C

And last but not least, there's a girl in my class who's last name is "Gonzales", which I thought sounded familiar for months, and now finally remembered! It's from Chrono Trigger!! XD You know that robot that Luka made for the fair and you can fight for silver points? It's name is Gonzales in Japanese, but just Gato in English. Speaking of Chrono Trigger, it's gonna come out for the DS before Christmas so me or Levsta will DEFINATELY get it as a present or buy it for the other. XD I CAN'T WAIT!!! Crap, my mom's birthday is right after Thanksgiving... Grrr...!! Why is it so hard to by presents for parents!!? DX

Butt Dust

2008-11-04T10:52:00.003-07:00

Shino: Howhat's this!? I'm posting just 3 days after the last post!!? INCONCEIVABLE!!! XD Well, I was bored so you have to suffer with me, m'kay? |D I was going to go to school today, but I decided not to. It was just raining so much!! And of coarse it's NOT anymore! Gosh!!! I even drove all the way to the Trax station, but I got out of the car and started walking through the parking lot, but it was just SO bad and I only had to go to ONE class today which was just stupid graduate students talking about how to choose your graduate school, so I turned around and came home. GO ME!!! XDDD

Well, at least I saved like 3 hours cuz It takes an hour to get to school on Trax, an hour of class, then another hour back home. Which is good cuz I didn't do homework at ALL yesterday (which was like 6 hrs), I feel so horrible. MUST...REPENT......! DX I really should meet with my team on our group project too...maybe later this week...? (TT^TT) Oh yeah, another reason I decided not to go was cuz I missed the Trax, so I would of been like 20 minutes late to class anyways, leaving only 30 minutes of class, which is STUPID.

Well, enough of me being emo again. Here's a funny e-mail I got from my mom a few months ago but I kept forgetting to put up here:

What is Butt Dust? What, you ask, is 'Butt dust?' Read on and you'll discover the joy in it!

These have to be original and genuine. No adult is this creative!!

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: 'Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?'

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six..'

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes my teeth cough.'

DJ (age 4 ) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?'

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.' Concerned, James asked: 'What happened to the flea?'

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget... this particular Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...' He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

Halloweeeeeeeeeeen

2008-11-01T15:02:00.002-06:00

Shino: Soooo...Did everyone have a good Halloween?? I didn't. :c Nobody comes to my dad's house cuz it's kinda out of the way, so not many trick-or-treaters. I went to this little party at da Levsta's friends' house, but they didn't even do anything. Most went trick-or-treating, so there were only like 6 people left, and some were doing their own thing like reading or playing a game, so me, da Levsta, and one random girl started playing my WarioWare Touched. Then we watched an Invader Zim episode that I brought. We were only their for 2 hours. I think this was the boring-est Halloween in my life. Probably cuz I didn't have time to even dress up. XD BUT NEXT YEAR...!

So this is what I wore ALL day yesterday. It was fun seeing people's reactions. :D Some would compliment my 'stache, some would double-take because they couldn't believe their eyes, others just started laughing or smiling when they saw me... I guess that's ONE good thing about yesterday. I made a lot of people happy BY THE POWER OF MOUSTACHIOS!!! :{D And now for some more old/random pictures.

Da Levsta LOVES these things, Cliff Bars. I KINDA like the peanut butter flavored one, but that's it. And yeah, that's what it's supposed to say, PEANUT BUTT-er. XD (LOL we're so immature.)

I think da Levsta said it before, but he and our dad claim themselves to be Pastafarians. So my dad painted the picture. Just click the link for more info. It's so funny. XDDDDD

Wikipedia on Pastafarians

I'll try to post here more. I MISS YOU BLOGGY. I guess that's its name now... (-0-;)

Blech...

2008-10-20T23:11:00.003-06:00

Shino: Sorry about that last post. I was trying to join this scanslation team and this was the "Translator's Test" I had to take. (I passed BTW, thank you. XD )

I'm sorry I haven't been talking to you bloggy. :c But you know how much I hate school, right? I even had ALL of last week off, but I spent most of it downloading music, watching TV, doing HW, or hanging out with friends, BUT NO ART. I feel happier since I ACTUALLY got to hang out wit mah hommie G's, but I'm still so sad that I'm not doing any art. I looked at my dA account, and found out the last art I updated was at the end of June, and that was an old artwork from high school too! The ACTUAL art that I've made is from the end of March. Please shoot me now *hears a bang in the distance* *ducks out of reflex* CURSES!!! DX

Well, check out my (and da Levsta's) dA account since that's where we're hanging out more. XP

Me taking a Translator's Test

2008-10-16T21:57:00.000-06:00

(Translator’s Note: I wasn’t sure if you wanted to keep it 死神/Shinigami, or change it to Soul Reaper like “Bleach” or actually translate it to Death God, so I just did the English equivalent to Shinigami, the Grim Reaper. It’s also a little hard to translate without knowing what’s going on before it. (^_^;) )

Page 1

Bubble 1: About your other question… Because you committed suicide, you will go to Hell. Suicide, causing not only pain to family but to others close to you as well, is a disgraceful crime.
Bubble 2: As proof of this, from your body is being released the “Devil Essence,” which only surrounds criminals.
SFX 1: ゴオッ/GO (a SFX when something big is coming)
SFX 2: オオオオオ/OOOOO (strong wind)
Bubble 3: Oops, the Grim Reaper’s already here.
Bubble 4: ……!

Page 2

Bubble 1: Now that the Grim Reaper has arrived, it’s too late
Bubble 2: Because you’ll be taken to Hell.
SFX 1: オオオオオ/OOOOO (strong wind)
Bubble 3: You’ll probably burn in boiling magma for eternity.
Bubble 4: No! P, Please help me!
Bubble 5: I don’t want to go to Hell!! Please you have to help!!
Bubble 6: Then, do you want to sign a contract with me? Lawyers fight against the Grim Reaper, and protect the client’s rights and benefits.
Bubble 7: In other words, if you sign a contract with me…
Bubble 8: I’ll bring the unfair parts of the crime you’ve committed to light,
Bubble 9: And may be able to get a “Not Guilty” verdict for you.

Page 3

Bubble 1: Well? Do we have a deal?
Bubble 2: Yes! I’ll do it!!
Bubble 3: Good, then sign here.
Bubble 4: I won’t be needing any pay. Yes, right there…
SFX 1: ドタン/Dotan/Thud
Bubble 5: ……
Bubble 6: Phew! It’s too hot, I can’t take it!
Bubble 7: What are you doing Master!? Taking such a long time with one brat!
SFX 2: ガバッ/Gaba/Slide (remove clothing)
Bubble 8: I don’t have ANY idea who that is! So, hurry up and sign Jake!
Bubble 9: WaWa, Wait a minute.

Page 4

Bubble 1: There something wrong with you guys! Are you trying to trick me!?
Bubble 2: How long are you going to keep up the act on that brat Master!
SFX 1: パンパン/Pan Pan/Pat Pat
Bubble 3: Alright, listen here kid! We’re here to suck the Devil Essence out of you!
Bubble 4: It’s the source of our power after all! If we do that, then I can go back to being the incarnation of fear…The Dragon King!
Bubble 5: The incarnation of fear?
Bubble 6: That’s right, everyone’ll be shaking in their boots!
Bubble 7: Jeez, it’s ruined now you idiot!
SFX 2: ボフッ/Bofu/Bamph
Bubble 8: …H, Huh?
Bubble 9: Just ignore that freak’s rambling.
Bubble 10: Let’s just finish our contract. Now sign.
Bubble 11: …No! I won’t be tricked!!
SFX 3: ドン/Don/Shove

(Translator’s Note: What’s this manga called? I’m interested now and wanna read it! XP)

I'M WHAT!!?

2008-09-15T22:24:00.003-06:00

Shino: Heh, I got fired from work today. They said "let go" but it's basically the same thing. XD Dang, that was quick. But it wasn't my fault, OK!? Like a month ago they SUDDENLY started getting SUPER strict about the rules, like no food/drinks/cells in the back, and some other nice cool things that they used to let us do. I got 3 write ups (warnings) in 3 weeks, so that's why the "higher-ups" thought I was bad and let me go. But all 3 times were because of stupid reasons!

First, I ate popcorn in the back (CORNER mind you so it wasn't in the way) like 30 minutes before my shift ended cuz I was dying of hunger and I was gonna see a movie after my shift with my mom so I just got it early anyways. (And the whole "strict" rule just started the day before so I forgot!) Second, I was told to stay on the register like 3 times, but every time they told me to, I HAD to do something in the back for like only 5 seconds anyways. And the last and third time was just 3 days ago when I found out I had to work at 6 AT 6, and I was downtown so it would of taken me an hour to get to work anyways. So I just told a team lead to tell the managers that I'd be coming in like at 8 cuz I wanted to eat dinner, but they said I was "supposed to call them directly and tell them", but I DIDN'T KNOW THEIR NUMBER AT THE TIME!!! ISN'T IT GOOD ENOUGH THAT I TOLD YOU AT ALL!!!?!!??! We weren't even busy that day anyways... D:<

I'm not that mad though, I'll just miss some cool people, a little money, and the free movies. Those are the only reasons I went back there anyways, for my friends, but most of them quit/got fired/got transfered soon after anyways, so I stayed cuz I thought I should make SOME money, there were still like 3 cool people left, and FREE MOVIES!!! >8D That's what me and my mom are gonna miss alright, the free movies. Dang, there were like 5 movies I wanted to see but was just to busy with school to go watch. Now I guess I'll get a few more hours a week to goof off or do homework. XP I was just thinking of quitting 3 days too, how funny? XDDDDDD

But I'm not here to tell you about that since it's not a big deal. I, my dear friends, have come to spread the word about the new iTunes ver. 8. It has some new feature called the "Genius" I think, but I don't care about that. What I care about is the Visualizer. Some people don't even know about it, but when you play music, it'll show a cool pattern/background trippy-awesome-core thing that goes to the beat/music/volume. Well, ver. 8 has a new Visualizer, and it's got all these cool looking spheres and lights. The last one was like waves and patterns, but this new one looks 3D and like a disco ball sometimes, it's just awesome, alright?

Well, that's all. iTunes ver. 8 is awesome, I won't be making money any more, and I'll (hopefully) have a little more time for art and other FUN *gasp!* things.

Stay beautiful. ~<3

The Handwriting Meme

2008-09-12T14:21:00.000-06:00

The Handwritten Meme
1) your handle/name/username
2) left or right handed?
3) favourite letters to write
4) least favourite characters to write
5) write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Shino: Well, I tried it and I was gonna make da Levsta try it too, but I'm too lazy to tell him to now, so you gotta stick with just MY ugly handwriting. (His is SO much worse than mine, I swear!)

Stamps

2008-08-31T08:46:00.000-06:00

Shino: So these are some stamps from deviantART, but I think you have to be a subscriber to use 'em on the site. There are a few cool things only subscribers can do, but you all know I'm too cheap and poor for that. That's a bad combo. XP

Well, I might as well make this a bigass post then. XDDD Sometimes on YouTube people will send me "friend requests" but I DON'T KNOW THEM!!! DX They don't even send me a little message saying 'hi' or why they want me as a friend. >:C So I just deny them all. I wonder what most people do though? Are the requesters sad cuz I rejected them? I hope not... :c

Rolling with the YouTube topic, I saw the Gurren Lagann movie preview there! (Or you can look on their main page too I think.) It's gonna be about the first half, up to the fight of the Spiral King. (You know, before the first time skip.) They also came out with Gurren Lagann in english! *late to the bandwagon* Most people call it Dubben Lagann. XDDD It's on the Sci-Fi channel I think and I saw the first episode on their site. Simon's voice was the best, but Kamina and Yoko seem a little different/annoying but nothing too bad. I should watch a little more to hear the others' voices too like Viral, Leron, Kittan, Nia and Rossiu. :D

It's funny, but da Levsta (finally!) started watching Gurren Lagann because of Dubben Lagann. I've been telling him about it since I saw it in like December, but he finally watched it cuz he saw some people on deviantART talking about Dubben Lagann, so he watched, fell in love with Kamina cuz he's manly like that, then watched it in Japanese cuz everyone knows original is best. XD (Oh, and yes, he finished watching all 26-ish episodes of it.)

I would normally link to all these stuff, but I'm RRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLYYYY lazy right now, you have no idea. Or actually, you would know cuz everyone's lazy, amirite? XD One last thing, I also saw a preview for Lucky Star in english too on YouTube. The voices were good I think, but I didn't watch that series much. It's cute and funny and all, but I've just got too many other bigger and better anime to watch. XDDDDDDD

Spamtastic Excapades

2008-08-16T12:28:00.000-06:00

Shino: Yaaaay, we're back from D.C. which I just found out means "District of Columbia"! I was thinking of posting while there, but every day of the week we we're there, we only had like 1 hour at night for free time which we spent watching TV, playing games or other stuff on the internets. I'd post pictures too, but stupid da Levsta forgot to bring the camera so I can't upload any now.

Riding the Metro was OK, kinda like the Trax here in Utah, just faster, dirtier, messier, and sometimes underground. We went to Mt. Vernon one day where Washington's house is, and found out that was in Virginia, while our hotel was techinically in Maryland. Silly small east coast states! :D I took a bunch of picture with my cell phone too and sent them to our dad, except like 80% of the screen was covered with me and da Levsta grinning stupidly with thumbs up, so you couldn't even see the cool Washington sights. XD Like we took one at the National Zoo but you can BARELY see this gazelle in the background, or one at the Washington Monument, but it just looked like any other stone wall cuz we're RIGHT next to it. XDDDDD

I bout a lot of stupid shit, but that's what tourism is all about, mirite? Like this BIGASS pen, a gavel pen, a panda picture made from panda bamboo-poo, a magnetic little dude, mechanical pencils that look like normal pencils, and A FADORA!!! I'm so freaking happy I bought that at the International Spy Museum, it's so freaking pimp/gangster lookin'!! X'D AND IT WAS ONLY FOURTEEN BUCKS, BIATCH!!!!!! Now da Levsta wants one too, hur hur hur...! Now I just need to buy some nice work pants like it, black with skinny white stripes.

Maybe I'll make another post about our D.C. adventures later with ACTUAL PICTURES. |:C Well, gotta go eat lunch now downtown, bye-za.

Japanimation

2008-07-28T16:23:00.004-06:00

Shino: I hate that word, "Japanimation." It just sounds dumb and it sucks. >:c Anyways, I called this post that cuz I watched a bunch of anime last night. |D I watched the Bleach I missed on Saturday night, the Naruto Shippuden movie 1, One Piece movie 7 (the Mecha island one), and One Piece movie 9 (the re-telling of Chopper's meeting).

The Naruto movie was OK. Nothing great about it, like always. Doesn't make you go "woah" or "wow". :< The veeeeeery end was kinda funny though. Shion (LOL not a typo of my name. XD) says she's gonna continue being a priestess so she can pass her powers on and asks Naruto to help her, as in bear her children. Lee and Kakashi gawk at her/Naruto, but Naruto just gives her a thumbs up and says sure cuz he's naive and stupid like that. XDDDD Made me want to go read more Naruto fanfiction again (dunno if that's a good thing or not. ^_^; ), even though there's like 5 books I should/want to read.

One Piece movie 7 was pretty cool/weird like the other movies. Lots of boob jiggling though I noticed. Explained how Luffy thought about the Gear 2nd move, but that wasn't that big a deal to me. Chopper's voice actor was different for some reason. I was gonna look it up maybe on Wikipedia, but now I don't feel like it.

One Piece movie 9 was awesome. It's probably good cuz Oda-sensei actually helped in the story, not just characters. This movie made me remember/notice some things why I love OP so much more than other manga, and how much I loved Chopper's story. I literally cried like 10 times or for 20 minutes cuz it's just so sad near the end of Chopper's past. They didn't need that new character and I didn't get his power that much, but it was cool seeing Robin and Franky there. XD Dolton didn't have his power too. But what's good about this movie is that you could watch it by itself and it'd be OK, unlike movie 8, the Alabastar Arc, where everything was so jammed in and confusing and only people who'd watched OP would of gotten it. It was pretty bad, that movie. >:(

There was this weird part in the movie where the action scene/art style was waaaaaay different than the rest of the movie. Reminded me of Gurren Lagann's style a bit, that whole sloppy/sketcy/rough/hard lines look. Again, something I should look up on Wiki but probably won't cuz I'll forget and am lazy. The scene is at about 1 min. for the kicking-Luffy-at-Wapol part only:

OP movie 9 part 10

And now, a trailer for OP movie 10!!!:

OP movie 10 preview

This looks SOOOOO freakin' badass!!! XD I think the WHOLE story is written by Oda-sensei! (Finally!) Looks like Nami has to leave for some reason, Brook is there (I love that bastard so much now), and it looks like some of the artbook pictures. Like remember when the black haired Straw Hat Pirates wore kimonos, or when they're all wearing black mafia-like suits, etc? Their clothes looked so cool at the end!! *squeel!!*

Now I'm going to Washington D.C for a week soon, so TTYL I guess. :P

The Darkest Night

2008-07-14T10:17:00.002-06:00

Shino: YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAW!!!!!!! I saw Batman: The Dark Knight last night, and it was awesome as hell. Hell, it was awesomer than hell!! I wonder if anyone else saw it as early as me. XD I'll probably end up watching it again when I can for free.

Why can I see movies for free? Cuz I went back to work at that movie theater I used to work at. Didn't I tell you? Like a month ago. Yeah.

Anyways, back to The Dark Knight. The Joker was so freaking cool. He would do such horrible, yet in a funny way, things so you'd laugh like a maniac with him. At least I did. Too bad the actor died, but I dunno if the Joker's gonna be back in another movie. Probably not since each movie kinda revolves around one villain. Which is another cool thing about The Dark Knight. You could say there was a lot of...twists in the movie. So many times I thought it was going to end soon, but it just kept on going! It wrapped up/ended really nicely too.

I don't like those American superheroes that much, like DC Comics', mostly because they're so old and cheesy and drawn weird, but the superheroes I DO like are: Batman, Spiderman, Ironman, and the Transformers (who aren't technically superheroes XD). I wouldn't mind owning the DVD's to those movies, except Ironman cuz that's like a one-shot hero/movie.

I had a ton of other stuff to tell you, RL stuff, but I'll do it some other time. This post is dedicated to the awesome ~~Joker~~ Batman. X3

(Seriously, I LOVE the Joker. He's like my favorite villain now I think. I seem to like crazy-ass, maniacally laughing genius' like Hiruma, Neuro, and some others I can't remember their names of right now.)

Pikuchyaazu

2008-06-04T21:30:00.003-06:00

Shino: Moar random pictures found online.

Supposedly, a few weeks/months ago, a guy in Salt Lake City said we needed a "Zombie Plan". In case you don't know, that was first mentioned in a Red vs Blue. That guy who stood up is a man among men. I applaud you. (BTW, this comic is from Rooster Teeth's main site. Go there for more funny shit other than Red vs Blue.)

Next is an upgraded version of the atomic bomb. The best so far, if you ask me.

And last, L from Death Note. You knew something like this was coming. Just look at his name!

Ode to Oda

2008-05-29T21:15:00.002-06:00

Shino: I think every One Piece fan should make something like this. It took me forever cuz I wanted to make a perfect square, but I couldn't so you get the same title twice. And now, an explanation of every picture because I really like to for some reason.

1. Came with the VERY FIRST monthly Shonen Jump magazine in the US. I had a subscription for like the first 2 or 3 years. I actually still have them all except like one I lost. (Crap, now I remember that I have a few OP cards that I haven't put up here! DX)

2. The OP data books RED and BLUE. I believe a YELLOW has come out, but I dunno if I'll get it yet... It doesn't have hiragana next to the kanji so I usually can't read much. :( Next is my Gangsta' Choppa'. I got him from my mom's friend in Japan. I kept trying to get a Chopper doll in one of those crane games in Japan and just ended up losing like 10 bucks (aka 1000 yen), so she just gave me one she had. And last is the WANTED! book. CLASSIC.

3. LUFFY'S ON MAH CAR. 8D My dad got me my car at 17 with the Luffy sticker. Now, 3 years later, he's still there, though a few little parts are missing and I'll probably have to remove him completely cuz he just won't look the same.

4. Aaa~ the One Piece Art Books, COLOR WALK. I think the third one finally came out. :D I think it's funny that Robin's on the cover for CW2, when she hasn't even joined the crew in the artwork of that book.

5. A tin box that used to be for some kind of candy/snack. I can't remember cuz I got it from my grandma in Japan years ago and already ate whatever was in it. XP The back had a chibi-version of the front artwork. So cute! XD

6. A Luffy necklace my dad got for me when he was in Ireland. Yeah, WHY he got me that there is hard to understand. That's a small problem with him. Actually to other people too. I think I've said this in a recent post, but just because I like an anime/manga/game doesn't mean you have to get me a bunch of junk of it. It's actually pretty embarrassing and I'm not that hardcore of a fan, OK? D:<

7. All my OP manga, 1 through 49. I just got the last 4 volumes 2 days ago, so I just added those on. Too bad some of their spines got bleached by the sun. :'(

8. I used to have my grandma in Japan (whom I shall call just Obaa-chan from now on cuz that's what my family calls her) record and send videos of Japanese shows. It was like tradition man! We used to get stuff since I was like 4 yrs old! We had all these videos of Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, etc., but I had to throw pretty much all of them away since we moved. And looking back now, I wish I hadn't. I could have kept them since I have room anyways! The only videos I kept were of Crayon Shin-chan and One Piece. But just like a year or 2 ago,the videos Obaa-chan sent were SUPER quiet so I just said she didn't have to record anything anymore. Besides, I can pretty much watch anything online now anyways. XD

9. I printed out Luffy's old wanted poster on some brown paper we had at home. Now I kinda want to print the whole crew's now... |D And that's me holding a little Sanji toy that came with another OP candy box. In Japan, they have a TON of these little toys/figures/models/stickers that come with some kind of candy, usually these little ramune flavored candy balls. And last is a postcard that came w/ the COLOR WALK 2 art book. |3 Like hell I'd ever use it! XDDDD

Ghost Fish

2008-05-23T22:14:00.004-06:00

Shino: Just wanted to tell you some stuff before I forget.

My dad just built a new pond, and got 12 big goldfish to put into it. 2 died. We now have 11 goldfish. WAIT WAIT WAIT, WHAT?? Yeah, I'm telling the truth. I've counted. We counted when we caught the fish, we counted/threw away the 2 dead fish, so where'd that 1 fish come from? The only logical explanation I can think of is my dad really got 13 fish in the beginning, but looking at the evidence, I think we have a ghost fish. I wouldn't be surprised actually since one goldfish is pure white. (You know what I'm talking about)

And now a random pic I found a while back:

AWW S**T!!

2008-05-07T10:45:00.000-06:00

Shino: I'm sorry. I swore to my self that I (probably) wouldn't do this again. And again, I have broken another rule. HAVE I NO VALUES!!!??

So, what am I talking about? Shit. Crap. Dung. Poo. Doo-doo. Butt biscuits. Chocolate Dragons. And whatever other weirdass names from South Park I can't remember right now. So if you are disgusted easily, or, like a normal person, think this is disgusting, turn your ears, eyes and nose away from my tale.

I can understand when your crap is kinda greenish or orangey, but when it's a pretty bright green-blue (yes, blue), it's inconceivable. When I was about to flush and saw it, I thought that my mom had put that blue toilet-cleaner stuff in there, but it was a little too dark I thought. Heh, that reminds me of a little fact a (kinda) friend told me. "Every person looks at their crap. When they flush."

OK. You can look now. The crappy talk is over. Now for something to clean your eyes with. I just found this picture on someone's dA journal. ROFLMAO!
(Too bad they spelled "separated" wrong.)

Long Time No See

2008-04-30T09:48:00.003-06:00

Shino: Heh. Levi (now calling himself Da Levsta, or just Levsta) pointed out just how HORRIBLE the english to that phrase is. "Long time no see"??? The correct way would probably be like, "I have not seen you in a long time" or some other long fancy-ass way. :P

So I was gonna update this thing and tell anyone who reads it what's up, but there was something SPECIFIC I wanted to say but now I forgot. Oh, what NOT a surprise. Well, I just had my final Finals yesterday. I did pretty bad... (-0-; ) Oh well, I'm sure I'll still pass at least. OOH!!! I remembered now what I was gonna say! Da Levsta's high school orchestra (which he is in) is gonna have like their final concert today with the band, and the last 12 minute song they're gonna play with each other is a game medley. They gonna play songs from Civilization, some game I forgot the name to, Halo, and (wait for it...) HIKARI ORCHESTRA FROM KINGDOM HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDD *foams at mouth*

I'm gonna record it and give you a link to the YouTube video later. He wanted to show his friend from his old school, and I wanna show it to my gamer friends. I don't really care about all the other songs, just Hikari. That is gonna make me almost cry with happiness. I would DEFINITELY cry if they played like Super Smash Bros. Brawl's theme, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's opening (or any song from Zelda actually), and like, I dunno, Katamari or Ace Attorney songs. That would be my perfect game-music concert. And now, a funny e-mail my dad sent me:
---------------------------------------
As Ben Franklin said:

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of shit.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health. Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:

I'm doing it as a public service.

will i ever stop?

2008-04-10T07:35:00.002-06:00

Vocaloid2's Hatsune Miku songs that people make. Some of their original stuff sound awesome!!

To myself, a ton. Come on! I'm freakin' HALF Japanese! Didn't you read the title of this blog!? XD

9. What do you plan on doing with your life:
Get a job that I don't hate making a decent amount of money. Making A LOT of money will be accepted too. XP

10. A burning passion you have:
Gaming. There's just not enough time to play everything you want.

11. (Deleted cuz it's not about that site. :P )

12. Did you ever own a Neopets account, and if so what was your user name?
Ugh. Sadly, yes. Probably "melondream" like always. All I remember is I had a red Aisha called Poyoyo (cuz Poyo was already taken).

13. What do you think of when you look at a sunset?
CAN YOU PAINT WITH ALL THE COLORS OF THE WIIIIIII~ND!!!

14. What is one thing you have really been itching to do lately?
Watch One Piece online since I don't have my grandma in Japan recording it any more. I haven't watched it in like a year! ZOMG!!! D8

15. What element would you consider yourself?
HA! This is funny cuz I was JUST thinking about this this week! I've always said Water, cuz I liked Sailor Mercury, but now that I think about it, I don't like getting wet. I don't like Air cuz it messes up my hair, and I also don't like getting dirty with Earth. So what else is there you ask? Well, if we're talking about the Chinese 5 elements and not the Greek 4 (unless you count Plasma), then I guess I'm Metal! (aka Gold or Money) I LOVE money. So my order of elemental preference is this: 1. Metal, 2. Earth/Wood, 3. Water, 4. Fire, 5. Air. Huh, I forgot about Fire. XD I guess it's pretty and I haven't been burned so I'm OK with it and I like nature, but Water will forever be my homeboy. :P All the fortunes I take say I'm usually an Earth or Fire though.

This group project for a class. It's so hard! And I feel really bad for my 2 other teammates cuz I don't do much. (TT^TT)

17. What is one thing you ALWAYS keep track of?
Time. I like being perfect/organized, OK!?

18. Favorite number EVER!!!!
I never DID get one, but I say 4 cuz it's Japan's unlucky number. I used to say 24, or 2 cuz it just looks kinda cute and I'm usually 2nd place in things. But recently I like 15 cuz it stands for ichigo/strawberry. :3 And by favorite #, how long can you go? Cuz I also like 4649, cuz it stand for yoroshiku.

19. Do you consider yourself to be a genius in any field?
Not really, but it'd be cool. :D

20. A hobby you have that not everyone knows:
Reading NORMAL books, not just fanfics or manga.

21. The ideal age of a person is:
For me, I liked 12/13-ish. So young... So carefree... :') *sniff* But I guess 20's or 30's cuz you're an "adult" and can do more stuff. I just don't want to grow up!! DX I don't want to worry about taxes and gas prices and cooking/cleaning by yourself and living by yourself and having a job that wastes ALL your time and.........

uninhabited since I'm HARDLY there.

23. Describe your mood, now, in one word:
PAIN. (My glasses hurt my ears right now. >:( )

24. What do you think of fangirls?
I hate 'em. I just don't get why people can't JUST like something without being nerdy about it. When people get me gifts from an anime/manga I like, I don't like it cuz that's just nerdy and I wouldn't have bought it myself, but I wear/use it anyways cuz they got it for me. I feel bad, but it's true! I. HATE. NERDS!

25. Your favorite word/phrase:
Recently, it's SHIT.

26. Your ideal place to be...
Home. With no HW. Just chillaxing. With games/manga/anime/books/computer.

Pshaw!! I FART IN IT'S GENERAL DIRECTION!!!

PHAILURE

2008-03-22T07:34:00.002-06:00

Levsta: Hath I failed at life!? Nope. Sit still, little sea urchin; it is of the times of VICTORY! What the phuck am I talking about? Nothing, to be exact.

I'm listening to some "Gyakuten Saiban Jazz Soul" music. I only downloaded three of 'em, but hey, they're awesome. There were a few others that I thought were pretty cool, but I let 'em slide, ya' know' what I'm sayin', brotha' and sista'?

Huh, all those apostrophes remind me of English class. We're learning proper usage of them, but everybody already knows how to use them. I guess it just appeared in my teacher's mind that we needed to be reminded.

Have I mentioned that the Ace Attorney series is made of win? I mean, MORE win than, say, the Zelda, Metroid and Mario series all put together? Specifically Apollo Justice:Ace Attorney, but the first three were awesome too! How can you NOT want to yell out objection after playing those games!? It would be blasphemy, I says! Says its louds and clears, Ma!

Notice how I put "Levsta" instead of Levi on the top thingy? Yeah, that was toootally on purpose. I think I'll just quit calling myself Levi online entirely; after all, it can't be safe with all those buttsex pedobears loose!

I write fanfiction! GRAWR!

Yo' Face!

2008-03-15T18:26:00.002-06:00

Shino: I...I can't even remember how I found this series. OH WAIT! Now I do!! I was at egoraptor's website! (In case you don't know, egoraptor is the guy who made the "Awesome" series. You know, Metal Gear Awesome?) Anyways, it was on his main page I think, a YouTube video of Asshole Mario 2, but I'll just give you the link for the first one. You NEED to watch them in order! (Not really of coarse)

egoraptor's site

Asshole Mario Stage 1

These video's are so amazing, I gasp every time the guy dies, yell at the computer screen when he does something I know he shouldn't, and let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding when he actually finishes. And Levi will agree with me.

On a side note about something TOTALLY not related, I just finished watching the anime "おおきく振りかぶって" (Ookiku Furikabutte, Oofuri for short, meaning Swing Big), a baseball anime. It was only like 26 episodes long! WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE DIE!!!?? DX The manga just ended at the same place as the anime too and wikipedia hasn't said anything about there being a sequel or it continuing. 8( That is major saddage for Shino.

BTW, I usually mistype my name as Shio which means salt, or Shin which is a part of your foot if you don't remember, and Shino is just one letter away from Rhino!! XDDD All thanks for that world-shaking realization goes to my friend Marci.

Oh yeah, I also finished watching the anime "天元突破グレンラガン" (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, meaning Heaven Pearcing Gurren Lagann) a few weeks ago. Again, something so amazing that died way to early but still lived a fucking good life.

Holy shit I wasn't even thinking of typing on here for so long! I guess it's cuz I haven't done a normal post in like months. (-A-) While I'm at it, I might as well say that I started watching "魔人探偵脳噛ネウロ" (Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, meaning Demon Detective or Private Evil-Eye Nougami Neuro). I also downloaded 14 manga volumes. It's so funny and kinda creepy!

Well, I'm too lazy to keep on typing now, so ciao ciao! (Which reminds me, I should read and watch Hitman Reborn soon too...)

Moozik (because Shino has used this title before)

RWAR IMMA DRAGOON

2008-02-25T10:02:00.006-07:00

Shino: This cool artist I watch on deviantART called messa made stickers of the chinese zodiac animals in human form. They're so cute! Well, here's me (dragon) and Levi's (monkey) fortune. :D

messa's The Dragon

People born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them. They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters.

(Yay! I'm healthy! That's true since I don't get super sick/hurt. Yeah, I can probably get excited and stubborn. XP I'm pretty honest too most of the time and, not to be vain (actually, yeah I'm pretty vain :P) or anything but because of my honesty and naivety people mostly trust me. At least I think/hope so. XD I dun lika to borrows of the moolah!! DX I don't like lending it too cuz I'm cheap like that. I don't make flowery speeches cuz I don't like wasting time. Time is money, come on! Hmm...I hope people aren't taking advantage of my kindness... >:( Not that I know of right now. XP I read Snake's fortune and they're like me too so I'd probably get along with 'em, and I already get along with my monkey brother. :P )

PS-Oh yeah, I fixed that Fruit Bowl post's date. I started typing it like a month ago and this site keeps the date you STARTED typing posts, not when they're actually posted so I just picked a random date in the future so it'd be on the top of the Past Posts list. XD But now I don't know EXACTLY when I typed the Fruit Bowl post so I kinda just guessed the date and time. Poop. (BTW, I called it Fruit Bowl cuz it sounds like Foot Ball, ya know?) Now I gotta make Levi talk about HIS fortune. |P I COULD have been doing homework for almost an hour but I didn't cuz of this. YOU OWE ME. XD jk

BOWAAAARGH!!!?

2008-02-15T22:21:00.003-07:00

Levi: OMG! I'm back!? I dunno, but I'm bored to all living hell!

So I've been playing Resident Evil 4, because I just bought it a week ago, and it was TOTALLY scary at first, but I've TOOOTALLY gotten over that fear. Yeah. Ammo is so scarce though! WAAH!

Shall I kick a dog for pure comical purposes? Perhaps my kitten that loves me so? She's totally not like Q, who sucks like a thing that sucks a lot. She's a freakin' vacuum. A vacuum that sucks a lot and is so small that it can't actually pick anything up. But alas, she is still my cat, so I leave her... a boot to the head, possibly a REPUKKEN!!!

Oooooh yeah, Ace Attorney is a pimp too. I've made some funny videos with that "Objection Generator" thingy. You can have a look-see from my YouTube account on the right side of your screen that you must click on with your rat-mouse thingy that you touch every time you boot up your computer. Pervert.

Sir Markus has not given up on me, nor have I! The gracious Madam Levsta shall triumph with my kerchief waving and eyelash flapping! The love! The joy! The chocolates! Good gracious the chocolates!

Edit: WHAT THE FUCK!? Shino was somehow able to post a blog post ONE MONTH INTO THE FUTURE! The post above shall FOREVER be above all other posts... until March, I guess. Damn yankees.

Fruit Bowl

2008-02-07T12:43:00.000-07:00

Shino: So, I dunno if I've told you yet but I've been watching a lot of Eyeshield 21. (=w=) I think I'm on like episode 90's. I kinda stopped watching a few weeks ago though... (^_^;)

Anyways, I LOVE Hiruma. He's so bat-shit crazy, it's sexy. (Saw this quote on an avatar...) But no shit, he's awesomer than the coolest thing you can think of and then some. I also download like the first 23 manga. He's even cooler in there. Like in the anime he say's "crap", while in the book it's written as "crap", but it's read/he says as "fucking". I didn't even THINK that Japanese knew that word! XD Some other differences are he shoots his gun up in the air more, not at actual people (of coarse not hitting them), and his "Devil's Notebook" was originally "Threat Notebook".

One thing I noticed when I read a fanfiction of Eyeshield 21 is that it said Hiruma's football uniform pants are zippers, not the usual string that everyone else wears. And in the anime, so far, I've only seen it be strings ONCE. I mean, it's hard to remember to look at his crotch, but whenever I DO see it, it's either too far so it looks like just a zipper, or it just looks like a zipper.

Another thing I love about Hiruma is his voice actor, Atsushi Tamura. Supposedly this is the ONLY voice acting he's done for an anime, and he got the role cuz he's similar to Hiruma. Can you get any cooler!? He's also in a comedian duo called "London Boots", and in a rock band called "jealkb". Aaaaannnddd he's also helped in a few anime as staff, especially the Studio Gibli movies! :D Anyways, his voice ROCKS. Especially Hiruma's cackle-laugh thing. It's like he's cackling, but it sounds kinda like wheezing...it's just badass OK!!?? Kinda like Ryuuk (sp?) from Death Note. That evil, devil-like, wheeze-cackling laugh.

Here's the english Eyeshield 21 episode 1 I found. It's on Toonami's Jetstream it seems. Too bad it doesn't work for Macs. The voices are pretty good actually. I think it's funny that Hiruma is Shino's voice actor from Naruto, Sena is Sasuke, and Mamori is Sakura. XD Hiruma's still KINDA cool, but not as cool since they edit SO much out. Especially this first episode cuz they combined like 2 or 3 episodes. But it sucks cuz the company that's paying for this is kinda like 4Kids. They think anime is for little kids so they HARDLY show Hiruma's gun. Heck, they didn't even show him kicking Kurita, or a baseball bat that a punk was trying to hit Sena with!! DX

Part 1

Part 2

Well I gotta go to class now, ciao ciao.

Zombie ate my face

2008-01-30T21:50:00.000-07:00

Shino: So I just finished watching all 11 episodes of ZOMBIE-LOAN, a manga turned anime by Peach-Pit. The only other anime I've watched by them was Rozen Maiden, which was only 2 seasons (like maybe 40 episodes), but was still pretty cool. I haven't read the manga yet for Rozen Maiden except the first book in english.

Anyways, back to ZOMBIE-LOAN. I hear that there's also gonna be a special episode 12 and 13 on like DVD this April, and that the manga is still going, or at least goes longer than the anime. Now, why am I even telling you all this? It's cuz ZOMBIE-LOAN was that cool. It just had so much potential! Most short storied manga/anime are good for just a few episodes (like FLCL with only 6 episodes), 1 season (MANY short anime like...Trigun?), or at the most 2 seasons (Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne). And they usually end at a good place -or- they told the whole story so no more.

But ZOMBIE-LOAN still had so many untold pasts and characters, and there was still the main plot to finish, and maybe even a few romances... *sigh* There aren't that many stories I read/watch that just END so suddenly. That's the problem with falling in love with a small known anime. ESPECIALLY anime, cuz they usually end sooner than the manga because they're kinda just like a "test" to begin with. :'(

GRAAAAARRGH!!! DX WHAT ABOUT THE WOLF-BOY!? AND THE PRINCIPLE AND THE SPLIT-PERSONALITY GIRL!? AND THE GRIM REAPER!? AND THAT CHINESE MAFIA-GUY!? WHAT ABOUT THE MAIN 3 CHARACTERS!!!?? WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Your Soundtrack

2008-01-28T15:56:00.000-07:00

Original:

spookydoom's Journal

If your life were a movie, what would it's soundtrack be?

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend your cool... and alot of the songs fit with the setting

Opening Credits:
"This is Halloween" - Marilyn Manson
Awesome! I can't wait to see what this movie's about!

Waking Up:
"Super Mario World ROCK!" - Soundshifter (from Newgrounds.com)
Woah...I never thought about it, but this song would be an AWESOME song to wake up to!

First Day At School:
"Automatic (Johnny Vicious Remix" - Utada Hikaru
Haha. |D Yeah, ain't school just that? You just go kinda cuz you have to...

Falling In Love:
"Dang Dang" - ZZ
LOL, I don't wanna fall in love! Dang it!! XD (Actually, it's supposed to be a Japanese sound effect, kinda like "bang bang". I think that's what they were trying to go for.)

Fight Song:
"R3" - tiger YAMATO (from DDR Konamix)
It's funny cuz on DDR Konamix for the PS1, the background picture for this song is these 2 robot dudes about to fight. It's a really cool fast song too! Gets you in the fighting mood.

Breaking Up:
"Mission Impossible" - Rehab (just a guy from the band singing the MI theme)
Yeah, it IS impossible cuz I don't have anyone to break up wit! XD

Prom night:
"WE ARE!! (parapara mix)" - Yoko Ishida
Holy crap! What kinda dance IS this!? Some kinda super-techno-rave full of anime freaks!!!?? (o0O;)

Life:
"NEVER EVER" - Ayumi Hamasaki
I'll never ever STOP living, or I'll never ever live PERIOD? (o3o)

Mental Breakdown:
"*Trippy Trigger*" - ZeRo BaSs (again from Newgrounds.com)
HAHAHA!!! This is another super fast crazy techno-ish rave song!! I'm gonna be a happy crazy person though I guess since this song's all happy and bouncy. XP

Driving:
"It's a Disaster" - OK Go
Hmm... Not really racing music, but you gotta agree, me driving IS a disaster. I dunno why I do it, people can DIE any second when in a car!! >80

Flashback:
"* *RaVe UnLiMiTeD* *" - ZeRo BaSs ( . . . )
I don't remember much of anything anyways so my flashbacks are gonna go by super fast since this is another fast techno song. |D

Getting Together Again:
"Snowhead Temple" - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask OST
What the crap are we doing in a temple in the snow mountains anyways!? Oh wait, I forgot, THIS! IS! UTAAAAAH!!!

Wedding:
"CARNIVAL" - The Pillows (from FLCL)
Awwwwwesooooome! It's a pretty happy rock song too! Dude, I think I'll really do this if I ever get married! XD

Birth of Child:
"My Fart Will Go On" - dunno (a spoof of Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On")
HOLY......! XD "Whoops! Guess I just had gas for 9 months straight! Sorry Doc! (^_^;)"

Final Battle:
"techno rave 4" - skilledman (Newgrounds.com...*sigh* The only reason these are coming up a lot is cuz I listened to them yesterday)
I guess this is appropriate since it's ANOTHER cool techno song, just like my last fight theme!

Funeral Song:
"Rabbit Joint Cover" - The Rabbit Joint (That one fan-Zelda song that says "Now Link, fill up your hearts, so you can shoot, your sword with power!" It's really well-known, but I don't think most people know the title.)
*snort* I wake up with a Mario song, and now I die with a Zelda song? Can I live a nerdier life!? HELLA NOES!!! XD

Final Credits:
"Battle Without Honor or Humanity #3" - ...I forgot (from the KILL BILL soundtrack.)
Oh man, can I go out in any more of a blaze without shaming the sun!? XD THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING MY MOVIE!!! *gets kicked out of the theater*

Does the world hate me or something?

2008-01-24T11:41:00.000-07:00

Shino: OH! MY!! GOSH!!! I am so pissed right now! I went to hurry and finish downloading Naruto songs this morning (which took waaaay longer than I wanted to waste time on) and found out there are like 2 songs that I LOVE, but they're not on any soundtrack yet! WHAT'S THE USE OF TAKING OUT SOUNDTRACKS IF YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE SONGS IN THERE!!!?? *goes cries in a corner*

I'd write more, but I really should do my homework. It's bad enough I wasted over 2 hours trying to find non-existing songs. *grumbegrumblestupidmothereffinggoodsongsyou'reluckyyou'resobeautifulgrumblegrumble*

Musical Story Time

2008-01-09T18:51:00.000-07:00

Shino: So this is MY version of a shuffle-your-iTunes-and-use-song-names thing. Here's the rules:

1. Put your iTunes (or other music player) on shuffle.
2. Make up a story that uses the first 20 of your song's title NO MATTER WHAT! Make it fit!
3. You can get the title of the songs first to make the story fit, or you can make it up as you go.
4. The weirder the better. (OK, this isn't really a rule :P )

ECSTASY mixed with mango tastes really good actually. Especially The Least100sec, it makes you imagine you're in a Southern Swamp that SP Thanx you for visiting it. But as all journey's, you must go back to your Home Sweet Home where One Day, One Dream you dream you're in this Big Tree Hole. So you go in it like Alice down the rabbit hole, but you go up instead of down so you go to The Heavens. Which doesn't seem physically possible but it's a dream so deal with it.

Suddenly, the drug's effects come back and As The Rush Comes you can't help but tell all your Dirty Little Secrets to some RUGGED ASH looking hobo. But then Sailor Moon comes and saves you with her LOVE SHINE magical-beam thingie. You're all better now but Sometimes you feel like the ground under your feet is STEADY and other times it will Fall Apart. You hold onto a Puppy to feel better, but it was actually a Switch that turns every single holiday into Thanksgiving Day. Don't Believe me? Well don't come crying to me the next time you take mango with your ecstasy you fucking druggie. :D

... The only regret I have of this is that my so called "shuffle" calculates on songs most/least played or ones that have or haven't been played recently. >:C So much for RANDOM. So many weird songs I hardly listen to or ones I just got recently came on. And what's with all these game/anime soundtracks!? >XD Oh yeah, I also skipped a bunch of songs that were my mom's or had Japanese titles. I kinda wanna try this again sometime... I actually have my own version of this music thing I've done before so I'll post it up here and on my deviantART soon. >:P YA-HA!!

1 . YOUR REAL NAME:
Shino Peck

2 . YOUR GANGSTA NAME: (first 3 letters of real name plus izzle)

3 . YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (fav color and fav animal)
Blue Cat. Just sounds like the complete opposite of Red Hound. (-.-;)

4. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first)
Pecsh. Ugh, any name starting with P reminds me of Picolo for some reason... And I guess it's just pronounced Pesh......??

5. YOUR SUPERHERO NAME: (Your 2nd favorite color, and favorite drink)
Green Ramune. Americans would probably pronounce it as like Green Ramone probably. XD

6. YOUR IRAQI NAME: (2nd letter of your first name, 3rd letter of your last name, first two letters of your middle name, last two letters of your first name then last three letters of your last name)
Hcminoeck. The first HC are silent I'm assuming.

8. YOUR GOTH NAME: (black, and the name of one of your pets)
Black Q (Blaq?), or Black Z, Black Momo, Black Air. All sound pretty super special awesome emo cool to the maxx!

Another one bites the dust

2008-01-01T13:29:00.000-07:00

Shino: One year down, an unknown amount left! A really stupid thought I had in my Junior year of high school: Dude! If people never died from old age, we'd live forever!! 8O

I actually kinda missed the new year. I was just hanging out with friends and playing Guitar Hero II when one guy was like, "Oh! We've got like 30 seconds until the new year!!" And we were too busy playing so once we finished the song, it was already like 2 minutes after midnight. (^_^;) Then we stayed up til 4 AM playing Balderdash (I played Elite Beat Agents), then watched The Day After Tomorrow and The Ring. And THEN we woke up like at 8 AM and ate leftover cookies and pot stickers for breakfast!! XD

So now I was just checking up deviantART since I haven't checked there for a few days when SUDDENLY I got a new message. And lo and behold, it was a journal that JUST came up! So what do I do? I GOT FREAKIN' FIRST COMMENT, THAT'S WHAT!!! XD I think this is my first!

Oh wah! Do you ever stop nagging!?

2007-12-21T19:52:00.000-07:00

Shino: So like the day RIGHT after the last post, I went to Barnes again while X-mas shopping (which I didn't do anyways >:P ) and I finished ZOMBIE POWDER.!!! DX CRAP!! There's only 4 books, cuz Tite Kubo stopped writing it to work on BLEACH! BTW, did you know you HAVE to have that period ( . ) at the end of the title? ZOMBIE POWDER.? (<- See! Period!!)

Also on the same day I finished ZOMBIE POWDER., I also finished watching all the Avatar episodes I had missed! There was only like 13 anyways!!! AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGH!!!!! DDDDX So now, with nothing left to do, I started watching EYESHIELD 21, that football manga by Jump Comics. I'd been wanting to watch/read Gintama, D.Gray-man, Reborn! and Eyeshield 21 for almost a year, and I'm really glad that I've at least started watching them. |D Even though I've noticed that I like the original in anything, in this case the manga came before the anime, but it's the best I can do for now. I GUESS I could go download the manga chapters online, but just watching the anime is faster... I think......

One thing I've noticed in some stories is the "Mary-Sue" characters. I think Mary-Sue's were the kind of characters that seem to be perfect/cliche/able to do anything. Like Ootori Kyouya from Ouran High-School Host Club, Guu from Jungle wa Itsumo Hale nochi Guu, Reborn from Reborn!, and Hiruma Youichi from Eyeshield 21. It's like they can control anything and anyone!! They know when every thing's gonna happen, or can pretty much read minds and seem like nothing can stop them...! If you think about it it's kinda annoying, but when you watch them it's just too funny to care.

Oh yeah, I COULD probably do some kind of art during this break, but I probably won't. |D I'm just content on watching anime right now. Which sucks though cuz at my mom's place we have a monthly bandwidth limit. :'( And I work pretty much this whole Christmas week. At least I'm FINALLY quitting my job. LAZY TO THE MAXX!!!

(Favorite saying from recent anime's: YA HA!! [Eyeshield 21], KYOKUGEN!! and VOOOOIII!! [both Reborn!]. )

Reborned

2007-12-17T17:41:00.000-07:00

Shino: Ooooooh man...! I just watched like all 61 episodes of 家庭教師ヒットマンREBORN! aka Kateikyoushi(Katekyo) Hitman REBORN aka just REBORN! in the US in like under 2 weeks!! XD Go me! But now I'm soooo sad cuz there's no more new episodes! Now I have to wait like a normal person! (TT^TT) OH NOES!!1 DX

And when I went to Barnes & Noble yesterday to read manga (cuz that's where we always go to read manga), they only had volume 2 out when I think there's like already 7. :( The only kinda good thing is that I just read ZOMBE POWDER by the BLEACH guy, Tite Kubo. XD Yay!

Now that school's over (for now) I have a loooooot of free time and now I have no REBORN to amuse me! But luckily, I still have Avatar: The Last Airbender!! XD I haven't watched a single episode this whole third season aka book three, so I have like 15 episodes to catch up on! 8D BTW, did I ever mention how much I LOVE the " XD " face? I use it a lot but meh, that's how I feel. I'm so grateful(?) for emoticons and little faces! \(^0^)/

Scribbles! XD

2007-12-06T22:56:00.000-07:00

Shino: GO PLAY THIS GAME NOW!!! (click on picture below.) It's a game called Scribble 2, and you have to connect dots to make pictures with your mouse! Sounds easy right? Too bad you're timed and you don't know where the next number is sometimes! XDDD

I got a Lv.4, which is bad. 1 is best, 5 worst. :( Levi got a Lv.2 the first time, but then kept doing worse after that. :)

So I tried the original Scribble, and it was kinda...not smooth. It was waaaay harder than Scribble 2. It wouldn't tell you where the next number was, and...I think some other bad stuff but I forgot. I JUST played it like 2 minutes ago though! How could I forget already what it was like!? BECAUSE I'M A TORPEDO!! (Bo-bobo reference. :P)

And now for something not entirely different, a sneak peak presentation!

I couldn't resist

2007-12-01T23:41:00.000-07:00

Shino: LAST HOMEWORK FOR STATICS!!! DDDDX (<- I'm happy BTW) So sometimes on the HW for that class, I just BARELY use the top part then have aaaaall that empty space left. And since I was too tired to do more HW but not tired enough to waste over half an hour to doodle, I tried drawing this ^.

It started out as just a guy, but then I STILL had empty space, so I just filled the rest up with crap. Meh, who cares. (-.-) I've seen a few people drawing on their homeworks and thought it was bad cuz it's not professional but, WHO THE CRAP CARES!!? XD And I wanted to try it out, ok? I wonder what the grader will think of this......

Tales of the Union, part III

2007-11-29T12:32:00.000-07:00

Shino: I have a class in half an hour, then a lab after that, but I don't know if I should even GO to that first class. It's just reviewing for the test tomorrow anyways... Yeah, I don't think I'll go. Wow, you're a very good convincer! 8D

Something I thought funny since last year but totally forgot until now is that when you log out of the computers here in the main building, it asks you "Are you sure you want to log out!?" Yes, with an exclamation point. So the first few times I was like, "AAH!! AM I sure I want to log out!? I don't know anymore!! DX" but now I know better than to believe the computer, even if it's important enough to yell at me.

I haven't read an actual book in a while. The last books I read were "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Alchemist" which are both cool BTW. I've been thinking of reading Eragon's second book, "Eldest" but now I don't think I want to read that series anymore. Oh yeah, the Eragon Trilogy (it's actually called the Inheritance Cycle but NOBODY calls it that I don't think) is actually gonna be 4 books now I read somewhere. Quintology?

So the only other book I HAVE to read right now is Harry Potter 7. Yes yes, probably half the world just gasped simultaneously right now. You all owe me a nickel for each breath you take, you know. I invented air. What? You can't disprove it. >:) So anyways, back on track now, I should read Harry Potter 7 sometime. Case closed.

Oh yeah, Levi said in the last post that he got a platinum in all the levels on Link's Crossbow Training, but that's all a LIE. He needs ONE more! And I'm sure it's been almost 2 weeks of owning that game. Which reminds me, I should finish Twilight Princess soon too. And I'll make SURE to tell you after I actually DO finish it, unlike some liars I know. Actually, I'm pretty sure all liars lie.

Also, the quote at the top is something I totally made out of the blue when my family was playing very badly executed charades. Except when I said it it was originally, "If a mime gets killed in a forest, does he make a sound?" Then we all laughed for like 4 minutes, then we started rephrasing it to make it sound like the actual quote, so now it's "If a mime falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" I'm such a freakin' genius sometimes. This is such an amazing quote that I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been done before. That's the sad thing about life, you think you're the first, but you're NOT!

Well, I WAS thinking of just rambling on some more, but I guess this has gotten pretty long already. Plus, it kinda had nothing to do about my union. I'm just typing it there. And this computer's keyboard is hard to push so it hurts my fingers.

Platinum Crossbow

2007-11-27T21:15:00.000-07:00

Levi: Heh, so anyways, after only a week of owning Link's Crossbow Training, I have gotten a platinum medal on EVERY level. Pretty awesome.

Movies

2007-11-27T15:03:00.000-07:00

Levi: Anyway, last week I saw two movies. First, I rented "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and it was AWESOME. I wanted to see it because I never had, so yeah. My dad said he was going to watch another movie, but it turned out that he watched it with me. He didn't remember anything from the movie.

Secondly, I saw "Across the Universe" at the theatre. It was a really good movie, even for a musical. It wasn't one of those fake-happy piles of poop. Kinda had some depressing-ish parts, I guess. Not quite, because all of the music is about being happy and how looooove is gonna get yo' ass up. Yeah, The Beatles can do that.

Lights and a Crossbow

2007-11-21T07:08:00.001-07:00

Levi: Soooo! Last weekend I got to operate the spotlight for our school play. It was pretty normal for the first two days, but the last day was really funny because I started talking to the stage crew guys on the headset. They are funny people :D Like this one time, a guy said, "Thomas is a descendant of Chuck Norris; therefore, he is a Chuck Norris!" "A Chuck Norris? Is that like an occupation?"

Hehehe. We were laughing for a good minute with that one.

Anyway, I also got Link's Crossbow Training, and it's pretty fun. A lot better than I expected. If I do good enough, maybe I can get the platinum medal? *drool*

WAHTS' THISS!!?!?/11?

2007-11-19T18:37:00.000-07:00

Shino: *does dramatic Yugi face* Yeah, I dunno why I did that too... Probably cuz I'm gonna have to sign up for next semester's classes AGAIN. Gosh! It's like I have to do this every year! (/sarcasm)

Also, just today and Sunday, I saw TWOOOOO dead kitties. Not just cats, kitties. (TT^TT) Boobooboo!!! (Not to be mistaken for Bo-bobo)

Also, another picture from the Naruto anime with Kishimoto Masashi hidden in there. One Piece is cooler cuz you get to play "Where's Pandaman?" :P

My Songs!

2007-11-11T08:20:00.000-07:00

Levi: So anyway, I couldn't figure out how to get my songs onto the internet, so I just made videos of them on YouTube. Listen to them! I worked hard on these songs!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDUENqRzujo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uieiSae3zOo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7nRZ8_TOIU&NR=1

Mind you, they're all electronic songs. I think they are AWESOME! These are the coolest songs I've ever heard from a guy named Levi!

Oh wow

2007-11-09T21:36:00.001-07:00

Shino: WOAH. My eyes just started to hurt all of a sudden... Must be lookin' at the screen too long. Just finished watching another Naruto movie. Movie 3. This one was waaaay better than 1 and 2. I dunno what the heck was wrong with those two. All these machines and stuff...

Oh woops, getting sidetracked again. One of my many super powers. |P Well, I was just munching on our MANY halloween leftover candy, and stumbled upon THIS!!! *points up at picture* Scream and go hide your children from such a monstrosity!! THE EVIL GREEN DEMENTED M&M!!!! *faints from the sheer horror of it all*

Silly, Silly Dreams

2007-11-08T18:52:00.001-07:00

Levi: So, I've been trying to record every single dream I've had as of recent, but I seem to be failing miserably. For some reason, the dreams just escape your grasp as you finally pick up the pen and paper to write it down. However! I have been able to record just a few. They seem to do with Zelda a lot :( I feel so ashamed :P
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Me and Papa are wandering a city resembling Tokyo in search of a man named Ganon. We come to a café and are discussing our plans when an old Mexican lady says she can give us advice; for a price, however. My dad givers her some money, and we follow her to her house. We wind past a lot of alleyways, then come to a gypsy or fortune-teller-like home. The lady tells us that Ganon has an umbrella that he always has on him 24/7. Apparently, my dad already knew that, so he got mad at the lady and stormed out the room.

2. I was looking at a bridge from a view of a security camera. The bridge resembled the Lake Hylia bridge. There was a crack in the bridge, and a lot of cars flew into the lake below. For some reason, nobody seemed to take too much notice of it, regardless of the fact many people were screaming. A big rig flew into the depths below and exploded.

3. I wake up every morning, just like I normally do, and I walk down to the bus stop. Every morning, however, I would see this black haired girl standing around and staring into blank space. Also, I see these two old ladies jogging by (just like in real life). A few weeks pass where I do this, but on the day of my birthday (for some reason, it was still fall), the girl started yelling Spanish words to the old ladies, and they responded in Spanish too. As I walked passed, the girl said, “Atchii” (like “hot” in Japanese), and I responded with, “Atchii desuka?” and the girl says, “Hay, atchii atchii.”

I get to the bus stop, and as the bus is coming, the girl comes up to me and yells, “Where’s Levi!?” I finally say that I’m Levi, and she says that she needs to get me a birthday present. I ask her why, and she says that it’s because she’s my stepsister’s cousin (when I don’t even have a stepsister) and she needs to get a present the size of a small box (she made a hand gesture of how large it should be). I say okay, and we go back to my house (I seem to have completely forgotten about the bus) and I try to find something that I don’t have that I would like to have. We search my room and the bathroom, when the girl asked me why I had a toilet in the bathroom. I hesitantly respond, “So I can go to the bathroom.”

After a long time, she asks the same question again. After a REALLY long time, I say, “So… I can use the toilet.” And then the dream ended.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Strange? I hope so. I will definitely try to write down as many dreams as I can; after all, I RARELY have them ever. Just recently I started getting them :(

Typing Power, Pen Power

2007-11-06T22:12:00.000-07:00

Levi: Ya' know what's weird? I can type like a champion (and I rub it in everyone's face; I have a typing speed of 70 words per minute with little to no mistakes), yet I continue to use the conventional method of writing stories: I use the good ol' pen and clipboard method. I usually sit outside, listening to the wind through the trees, or I may secretly write for an hour after my bedtime, in the lowlight of my lamp. Personally, I prefer method two. For some reason, writing in a bright area just isn't my thing. Poorly lit areas are just my deal, ya' know what I'm sayin'?

Anyway, what I don't get is that while I enjoy writing with something a bit more physical, I can't stand writing in a journal in my, uh, journal. It just hurts my haaaaaand. So, I prefer to type. However, I just noticed that I don't, in fact, have a computer-journal. I was just reading my old blog posts back from 2006, and I love looking back on my old journal entries! I also loved the old photo of all my old friends :(. So touching, so touching. I have also noticed that my grammar and English skills have quadrupled in the last year alone. Honestly, I believe that I am a writing CHAMP right now (however, still very far away from writing novels). Though, I am planning on writing a novel in the next few years. Shino and my dad know about what I might use as an idea, and I might stick to it :)

You know, that kind of reminds me of that Christopher Paolini dude; he wrote his book when he was FIFTEEN. Remarkable! Even at that, I was disappointed by his second book, Eldest. It just didn't go anywhere for a majority of it. More disappointing was the movie, however. A disgrace to my eyes!

Well, I guess all I'm saying is that I'm going to be using this blog a looot more than I do now. If you didn't know, I hardly even used this blog last year at all. I would make fairly erratic updates, and it was pretty much Shino's blog. BUT I SHALL CONQUER! Succumb to my prowess, Shino, because my reign of... um, Leviness will crash down heavily!

Edit: Hmm, I didn't talk about the pen and paper thing very much. So, are you wondering WHY I use a pen and paper?

The truth is, I type SO FAST that literally all my thoughts and words fly past my mind. So, when I try to type stories, they just appear on the screen TOO FAST, so I don't even know WHAT I typed! I find myself reusing the same words over and over, odd ideas coming out of nowhere, and grammatical errors all over the place.

So, why use a pen and paper? Because I write super slow. That way, everything I do is ENGRAVED into my brain, so I CAN'T use the same word twice in the same paragraph, and I know exactly what's happening :). Just as a tidbit, chapter 1 & 2 of my story "Calm Before the Storm" were typed, while every other chapter was hand written. Yay for me.

Delays and an Update

2007-11-05T18:50:00.000-07:00

Levi: So, I was working on my latest chapter and threw away two versions. I kept the second one, though, because the thing that I WROTE on was kind of silly. I got an idea while I was sitting in the car, waiting for my dad to come back from someplace. With nothing to write on, I found a letter-type-thingy in the glove box. So, I unfolded it and wrote on it.

A seemingly boring-looking car-letter...

But now it's my writing scratch paper! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway, you must be thinking that what's on that paper might be a spoiler. Here's a hint: it's not. I threw that idea away, remember?

Now, onto the update part of this post. I know there's quite a bit left until I'm done, but I'm please to announce that I've finished Chapter 9! *cheers* So, the end 'tis nigh! MUAHAHA!

All Hope Is Lost

2007-10-30T16:51:00.000-06:00

Levi: I thought the number of Zelda stories on Fanfiction.net were exceptional. I seem to have been wrong all this time. Both Shino and I went onto Fanfiction and looked up how many Game stories there were compared to other sections of the Fanfiction community. The numbers don't make a lick of sense for me.

Honestly, I believe that goths, emos and anime/sugoku kawaii retards have just burned down your house. Meaning they took over the world. At least, the fanfiction part of it anyway. I think it's obvious to me now just how many geeks like to write about stuff they've READ about rather than something totally new. Honestly, get some originality.

Now, a word from our sponsors, Shino & co.

Shino: *holding a mic* And the votes are in! Here are the rounded up numbers of the top 5 fanfictions in the Game category:

GAMES
1. Kingdom Hearts - 28,000
2. Final Fantasy VII - 19,000
3. Pokemon - 17,000
4. Final Fantasy VIII - 11,000
5. Zelda - 11,000

Holy crap, I knew Kingdom Hearts was good, but never THIS good! And how the crap did POKEMON of all things get in there!? I don't even KNOW what FF VIII is about, and Zelda just BARELY made it. How sad. Any comments Levi?

Levi: Solid proof that little kids and/or creepy old guys use Fanfiction. Honestly, POKEMON? Shame, shame, SHAME. Now back to you, Shino.

Shino: Thank you Levi! And now for the top 5 in the Anime/Manga category:

ANIME/MANGA
1. Naruto - 105,000
2. Inuyasha - 76,000
3. Yu-Gi-Oh! - 43,000
4. Gundam Wing - 39,000
5. Dragon Ball Z - 29,000

Oooh! The highest Game fanfiction wouldn't even be on this list! There were some other worthy series also like Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc. but they just didn't cut it. Also, notice that all these stories are OVER NINE-THOUSAAAAAAAND!!! XDDDD

And now some other randomly high-numbered fanfictions:

Harry Potter - 327,000
Lord of the Rings - 40,000
Star Wars - 19,000
CSI - 18,000
Pirates of the Caribbean - 15,000

And just for fun:

Bible - 2,000

Levi: With that many Harry Potter stories, I wonder if there is such thing as a "good idea" anymore when it comes to writing a story in that section. Absolutely amazing. I almost feel ashamed for being a Zelda writer. Fear not, I won't change sides. Zelda is my pimp, after all.

And WOW. The number of Zelda stories is only 3.4% of the Harry Potter stories. Allow me to grab the noose and find a high spot.

Shino: So we can go hang all the Harry Potter emo writers. :P We're gonna need a looooot of rope to hang them all. Or we could tell them there's a Harry Potter Fair on the edge of a cliff then just trip them with one rope! THINK OF HOW GOOD THAT IS TO THE ENVIRONMENT!!! Any last words, Levi?

Levi: ... *swinging off a branch*

Shino: He's only on the swing set. It's okay. He still needs to live to kill all the emos in the world. It's a never-ending battle, really.

Levi: Join us in the Gamer's CRUSADE!!!

She's at the University!

2007-10-29T13:48:00.000-06:00

Levi: I should do my math homework. Speaking of which, my homework takes up about half the page just to do. Not nearly as bad as a whole page, but still irritating. Math is ALWAYS the class that I run out of paper in! I even stock up extra paper just so I can be prepared, yet I still run out. Curse ye, paper gods.

Hmm, time for some school-related news. My English teacher said I was too good for the ordinary English class, so he strongly suggested I joing Honors English. I probably will; that way, I don't have to deal with Casey, Jordan and creepy-emo-looking-kid trying to cheat off of me during class. They're all my buddies (except for creepy-emo-looking-kid), but it's annoying how DUMB they are when it comes to sentence structure. Casey once asked me what "subsequently" meant. I think he asked what "despite" meant too.

Might I add that I'm sucking at Spanish class? Don't ask me why; I did good last year, but I just can't get the hang of it this time around. I'm getting too old for this. Hmm, I just checked my assignments that I've turned into that class, but the numbers don't add up. Should I not be getting a better grade? I shall consult the teacheress.

Casey asked what "consult" meant too.

Anyway, what in the world am I DOING here? I have this amazing urge to write my story, yet I can't get the juices flowing. I guess I'll use the maaaagical method that my dad uses when it comes to art. Just make random stuff, and that'll usually get the gears turning.

Oh god, I just used two ways to say "work". I said "gears turning" and "juices flowing". I feel so smart.

Where's Shino?

2007-10-28T18:08:00.001-06:00

Shino: I just did ONE math problem, and it took almost a whole page. Wow. Haven't had one of those for a while. But there are still times when only one problem takes up two, sometimes even THREE pages. (XoX) Oh yeah, and now you all know what my folder looks like. Some kinda Hello Kitty thing I got like 6 years ago. WHAT!!!? Six whole years ago!? *doesn't remember anything*

Oh yeah, I'm at Levi's place for the week. I didn't really want to go trick-or-treating cuz of FREAKING HOMEWORK!!! ...but I'm gonna go for a little bit anyways. I mean, come ON! It's freakin' FREE candy!! I couldn't think of a cool costume so I'll just be a ninja pirate.

Look at this very sad wood. He's sad cuz he's not a real wood. He's just one of the many fake woods in that fake fireplace. :(

Guilty Speaking

2007-10-27T21:00:00.000-06:00

Levi: So I'm at my mom's friend's house, and I just ate some yummy pot roast. It was really good! They've got some yummy cheese too. I think I just overused the word yummy. GRR.

Hmm, that makes me think. My writing "policy" states that I may not reuse the same adjective, noun or verb in the same page of something. Don't ask me why; ask the book, "The First Five Pages". That book has changed my life. Monotonicity is a sin!

Anyway, I feel so guilty right now. A perfectly good UEA weekend (it's a school-off weekend where all the teachers meet up and talk about crap in Utah), yet I haven't even started on the next chapter of my story. And to think, I'm not going to update until I FINISH the story! BOOHOO!

Well, I feel that there will be a large hiatus for this story. But fear not; the end is still nigh. Look at that as either a good thing or a bad thing. I guess that the end means I can finally sleep at night, while it also means that you can't read anymore beautiful literature and explain to your schoolteacher why you didn't do your homework. SAAAAAD SAAAAAD READER!!!

Well, goodnight and fairwell. I have a feeling that I said that completely wrong.

Tales of the Union, part II

2007-10-24T12:22:00.001-06:00

Shino: So I'm gonna be at Levi's place for a few days, bring him back with me over the weekend, then stay again at his place from like monday to...I dunno, wednesday? Hm, do you capitalize the name of days? Oh well.

I'm really starting to get into Gintama. Especially the last episode I saw, 21 I think, was so freakin' funny! XD Too bad I was watching it at school so I couldn't laugh out loud as much, but just thinking about that show brightens up my day. Yeah, anime is my anti-depressant. Yesh, that includes manga too. Ugh, I dun wanna do HW and go to class after this...!

So, funny story time. *children yell happily* *hands out candy to children* This has happened for the last 3 times in a row. My gas in my car would start getting low, so I'm thinking, "Oh, I better fill it up soon, but I'll wait till the warning light comes on so it's even more empty." But then the gas prices would go up like a whole 10 cents THE DAY BEFORE I FILL UP MY GAS. Yeah, it's happened 3 times in a row now. What's even worse is that 2 of the 3 times, gas prices would go down like a cent a day for 2 weeks, then again! Before I fill up my car it goes up higher than before! Gosh!

So lights and lamps are still dying on me everyday and night still. Especially when I'm driving to work. There's like 6 lights under this brige, and EVERY time I drive under/near it, one goes out. Going, AND coming back from work. That's 2 times a night! Then sometimes they come back on after I leave. So weird, so weird......

Speaking of lights, I notice that when I'm driving and it isn't that busy, lights change on me. Like I'll be the ONLY car driving to a light, it's green so I'm thinking, "Woohoo! I'm gonna make it!" But the light starts turning red before I even finish thinking this. And even if a speed up I know I won't make it. It especially seems to happen when I'm coming home from work. Yeah, I seem to notice a lot more things when coming home from work. Or late at night. Levi seems like that too where we're more creative/funnier, and notice things more during the night.

Dang. Still 10 minutes left. Aw dang it! I could of been listening to music right now! Oh yeah, speaking of music and my love of Gintama from before, I'm singing the opening song, Pray by Tommy february6, like 20 times a day. And I still love it. It's just such a cute, bouncy, fun song! Levi and I had the 2nd ending song, Mr.Raindrop by amplitude, stuck in our heads like last week. That's a really catchy cute song too. :P And there's only like 3 lines/verses/sentences. Yeah, Levi and I had like a 2 minute argument on what to call song lines/verses/sentences. He said verses, I said lines. Who cares, a string of words! (Wow, and this whole paragraph took only 3 minutes...)

Well, since I still have 5 more minutes, here's a reeeeaaally random string of thoughts I had on monday. I was eating lunch and this girl I knew came and sat next to me to eat lunch too. We didn't talk much cuz we were eating, but while I was chewing, this is the order of thoughts that came to my mind:
1. "The world is your oyster." What a weird phrase.
2. Another weird phrase about shells is "Happy as a clam." Clam's aren't happy!
3. Clams = SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!!! XD
4. I like the Spongebob opening. Which reminds me, I like the Gintama opening song!
5. (This led to another weird thought, but I forgot. It was the craziest one yet, too bad you missed it. :( )

TO THE SKIESIMEAN CLASS!!!

Lookit dat!

2007-10-23T17:00:00.000-06:00

Shino: Here's a scene from the last Naruto episode. 109 I think. But I just had to show you this picture! Why? Just look at that scroll-poster-thing on the left side! It says "Kishimoto Sense!!" And Masashi Kishimoto is Naruto's creator! XD LOL I wonder who put that there in the animation studio? And they allowed it? XDDD *laughs maniacally for no reason* (Yeah, I'm kinda happy/hyper right now. WHAT!?)

Tales of the Union, part I

2007-10-15T08:46:00.000-06:00

Shino: Gragh! So here I am at school, with my math book as the only textbook I brought because I thought I could only fit one book into my backpack. BUT, it turns out that I probably could have fit one more book in so that I could do homework during my 1 hour and 2 hour break. Not only do I ONLY have my math book, I don't even HAVE any homework I need to do with it!!! DANG IT!!! DX So now I guess I'll just waste up to THREE hours here. Good job Shino. Good. Job.

And now back to "Tales of the Union" part I, cuz I'm so cool like that. Dand, that's a really fancy title. Makes me wanna almost talk fancy myself. Almost. (hmm...should I make art during my 2 hr break, or just watch anime?)

First on my (no, not our) agenda, I would like to discuss an important and irritating matter (to me). Ever since I started driving over 2 years ago, I've noticed MANY street lights going out when I drive near/under them, or they were off and turn on after I leave. Coincidence? (sp?) Then how come it happens almost EVERY day?!? And today it happened, WHILE I WAS WALKING. This message has been brought to you by 'Shino, the Paranoid little Asian.' (But seriously, I think it's weird/cool.)

Oh yeah, something I forgot to mention in the One Piece report. What's also cool about it not being owned by 4Kids anymore is that they're using the original background music too now! No more stupid over-dramatic crappy orchestrated music!!! XD

Kinda funny story. There a speed-o-meter near my neighborhood so I see it every day. But one time, it did the OPPOSITE of what I really was! I was slowing down, but it said I was speeding up, then when I started speeding up it read (finally) that I was slowing down. Yeah, it's retarded. :P

You know when birds die/get eaten, there's just a bunch of feathers around? Well, this always makes me think that the bird just exploded (or imploded!!?), leaving only feathers. I've seen a bunch lately. Must be a disease. The "Birdy-Kablooy Disease."

I saw a guy's sport shirt, you know, with their last name (or just A name) and their player # on the back? Well this one said "LYNK". Dang, so close to Link. (BTW, you have no idea how many typos I've had on this post. Good thing there's a backspace button. |D I should do a post without it one day (again?)... Yay.)

Well, I'm bored of talking to myself, so adios muchachos. |P

Time for Edumation

2007-10-10T15:12:00.000-06:00

Levi: Har-har, tis time for me to get my funk on!

No, not that kind of funk. I mean my English funk! Anyway, what I mean is that there are some mistakes that I see far too often when I read online stories and other people's grammar! GRR! These are just a few of them.

When you're trying to show ownership to "it", it's not "it's"; the correct way is "its". NO APOSTROPHE! Why? Because "it's" mean's "it is", so it can't have a double meaning!

PEOPLE! Learn your freakin' "there, their and they're"'s! It's SIMPLE! I just LOVE it when I see, "The dog was there's."

On a side note, also learn how to use apostrophes! I see people saying "didnt" or "theyre" too many times.

On rare occasions (well, not THAT rare), I see people not using quotation marks. So, it could look like this: He walked up to the bartender. Give me a beer, he said.
Oh, I see, the NARRATOR wants a beer... NO! The narrator most definitely does NOT want a beer!

I hate it when people use hyphens instead of dashes. Rarely do I see peole who know even HOW to use a dash, but a lot of people don't even know how to CREATE a dash. Here is the difference: a hyphen is -, while a dash is —. How do you create a dash? If you type -- in microsoft word, it automatically changes it, or you could do it manually, typing alt+shift+hyphen.

Anyway, I think that's all of it. When it comes to mispellings, that just means it sucks to be you. Profreading is all you can do, which I believe EVERYBODY does . Honestly, learn to either type like a champion, or just take a few minutes to make somebody else read it. Ask your derranged sister who goes to college to do it!

FINALLY!!!!!

2007-10-10T14:20:00.000-06:00

Shino: YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!! XD One Piece has finally been changed back to it's original form!!! *cries with joy* Before, 4Kids changed pretty much everything you COULD about OP, but now it's how it should have been all along! Man, this is like finding out that your best friend isn't dead! WE MISSED YOU ONE PIECE!!! *cries some more*

New OP Opening

(ZOMG!!! They're using the original song! YAY!!!)

New OP Ending

(I actually only watched the "next episode" of this. The "Don't mess with White Beard" one.)

New OP Voice Actor Samples

(Hmm...I think I'm just not used to the new voices yet. :( )

Luffy still sounds too raspy/girly, isn't Zoro Piccolo!? (too bad they kept all the stupid names too though, like Zolo and Trace), Nami sounds better but still too girly, Usopp is OK but not like the Japanese original, Sanji is WAAAAY better but also not the original, Chopper's WAAAY too girly too (I think I liked his older voice, but atleast he still sounds the same when he gets big), and Robin's not mature enough.

I just hope everybody will be able to get into character soon so they can make OP alive again and happy/funny to watch. That's also another problem. All the voice actors/actresses can't seem to do the funny scenes that well. In the beginning at least. Let's pray for their success!

Also, Naruto just started it's fillers! *le gasp!* Well, they actually did a few before, but this is when like the 80 fillers start, don't they? Stupid Sasuke!! People hate him SO much! Too bad he's hot. Damn you hot people! Daaaaamn yooouuuu!!

(In case you haven't noticed, this post is gonna be ALL on anime. :P )

Death Note's gonna start on [adult swim] on Oct. 20. W007! Boondocks seems to finally have some new episodes. Avatar season 2, aka Book Earth, came out, and with it an interview with M. Night Schamalan...Shamelon...Chameleon (whatever!) about the Avatar movie (I think. I'm gonna go look on YouTube right now and see)! And there's a cute chibi short on the DVD's too I think. There already been like 3 or 4 new Avatar season 3 episodes, but I haven't seen them. :'( I think I'll just wait till they're all shown in a giant Nickelodeon Avatarathon (if they even have one), or just on YouTube. Aww YouTube...how did the world live before you? |D

Wow, Lookit Dat!

2007-09-30T14:11:00.001-06:00

Levi: I think it's high time you got a glimpse of my beautiful room. It's so beautiful that you can find anything that you need from it in less than an hour at a time! It's amazing :D

This is my room as a whole. That's laundry that I never get around to putting away on my bed, and that's a highly organized bookshelf on the right. That is also my bookbag and chemistry book on the floor.

My closet is filled with magic. There's a lot of crap I crammed into the top shelf thingy, and there's my snowboarding jackets and crap hung on the hangers. Also, on the bottom right corner, there is the box for Guitar Hero 2. Yes, that is a heraldic flag hanging on the door. No, I didn't put it there purposefully just so you could see it in the picture. It's always been there.

This is my bottle cap collection that I/my dad finally got around to hanging up. I have a lot more that I need to put on the magnet thingy, so that's only a portion of my whole collection.

My workdesk/junk pile. It's both, because I put my crap that I will someday get around to putting someplace else on it, and I also put my work on top of it. All of those papers that you see are all notes and ideas for stories that I could write. I probably have about 20 pages on that desk in written paper. My handwriting is so beautiful :')
Underneath the paper is all of the crap. Again, I didn't put the paper on top just so you could see it. The paper's been there for ages, slowly growing as I wrote more and more crap.

Edit: Oh, sh*t. If you zoom in on that picture, you can read the plans that I have for my upcoming stories. Well, there goes the surprise. Yes, I am too lazy to take another picture with that paper out of it. Who do you take me for?

This is a stack of papers from JUST the last chapter of my story, "Calm Before the Storm." I scribble so much that it takes up a lot of space. Sad, sad paper.

This is a glimpse of my handwriting and scribbleness. Imagine that going on for another twenty pages. What's interesting is that if I write five pages by hand, it'll turn up as two pages typed. That's so sad :(

Tales of the Union, prequel

2007-09-27T12:13:00.000-06:00

Shino: AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!! >8D I'm baaaaaaaaaack!!

Sorry, haven't laughed out loud in days so I'm about to burst. :P It's cuz I never laugh at school, and the only time I do is when I read comics, which isn't very often. But I'm sleeping over at Levi's place so maybe we'll have some fun. Yaaaay phun!!

I named this post after the "Tales of (blank)" games. You know, Tales of Symphonia/Legendia/etc... Never played them, but they look kinda cool. Also, the main building at the U is called the Union Building. *nudge nudge*

You know when at any grassy field they dig up those little holes everywhere? And you can throw 'em at each other? Well they did that to the U's fields, so there's the globs of dirt everywhere. And when they get wet from rain/sprinklers/morning dew, they look like crap, literally. And THAT is probably why I don't like walking on the grass much. Cuz you never know if that brown thing on the ground is dirt or poop. Blagh!

Haha! Funny story! When Levi and I were playing Mario Party 8 on the Wii, there was a game where you had to match up pieces of a picture to finish the picture. One was of the Mario clouds, the ones with the faces, y'know? And that turtle dude with the fishing rod rides it too? Well, for some reason, I couldn't just say it was the cloud, I called him (the cloud) Cloudy McPuffPuff. XD I'm so original!

Hmmm...I can't seem to remember more funny stories from school. Probably cuz there's these really loud people next to me so I can't think. >D Heh heh...! I'm so mean!

I was doing HW for like 2 hours straight, so I'm really tired. (~_~) I tried doing one more HW, but I couldn't figure it out. My brain's too fried. :'( Or is it fryed? I dunno. Levi noticed this, but Cartoon Network on fridays have a thing called Fried Dynamite, and Levi says it's cuz it sounds like "Friday Night". WHICH IT DOES!!! (0A0) How did he know that!!? Oh, dang it! I just remembered something to type, but then I forgot again! POOP DOGG!! DX Which reminds me that I need to go buy the Invader Zim DVD's. Hmm...I think I've already said that here... Oh well. (-0-; )

Myep

2007-09-23T09:56:00.000-06:00

Levi: Well, I did that test thingy too. Here ya' go:

WOW. How come Naturalist is at the top of MY list, but it's at the bottom of Shino's list? Creepy. I also see that I am MORE Introverted than Shino. MUAHAHAHAHA!

Phunny Pictorials

2007-09-21T22:26:00.000-06:00

Shino: First off, I just took this personality test (again -.- ) and I wanted to put it up on my deviantART but I don't know how to fscking put up images there so I'll put it up here too. Yay. |P

Also just wanted to share these funny pics with everybody, including you Levi. Also, did you know your name can spell a pants, evil, and live!? WOAH MAN, WOAH.
This is a "Gaijin 4-koma Comic" where you show something in the first and third panel, but the second and last one has to be of those cheering/bored gaijins. (actually, I don't think the order matters either.) There have been some weird ones, but this was the kinda best, I thought. Plus that money guy looks funny. And when the gaijins are cheering. :P They're from a site that I don't remember so you can't sue!

And these are ones I'm sure Levi will love:

Hither to!

2007-09-19T14:53:00.000-06:00

Levi: What ho! Tis' be the Pirate day! How could one such as I forget a day as such? I SHOULD be walkin' ther plank over thar! Alas for me, though, I be not the one skilled in the speech of our kind. You see, I twas born and raised by a family of nobles that taught the propers of Engrish! Tis a shame, twat?

Now, fight fer the pirates of "Sho'nuff Island" at the game of DragonFable! They be given away extra gold to those who fight fer the sea scourges!

Show yer pirate pride! Stick out yer nose and clean up yer five teeth! TIS WAR!!!

Arrrrgh 2.0...!

2007-09-19T12:02:00.001-06:00

Cap'n Shino (talkin' like a pirate): By the trident of Neptune! Today be "Talk Like A Pirate Day"!! The contraption I be typing on now on land was so kind enough to be tellin' me that 'tis so.
(Translation: Holy crap! Today's another "Talk Like A Pirate Day"!! The computer I'm on at school told me this on the login screen.)

I know what ye be all thinking. That I, the Great Cap'n Shino, have no time to be talkin' to the likes of ye. Ye be right, then. I have many a scrolls to be scribing in, but I have only one half of an hour of this time of freedom before me assigned scheduled imprisonment.
(Translation: I know, I know. I shouldn't be doing this again. I still have HW to do, but again, I only have like half an hour of free-time before class.)

'Tis a shame, though, for I be forgetting to dress in the appropriate attire for an extraordinary day such as this. It be also a shame that I be having many humurous tales to tell, but it be too hard to do so in this mannerism of talk. A thought just crossed me thoughts, but if ye be reading this without the knowledge of it being spoken like a true pirate, it may look just a wee-bit formal-like, get me drift?
(Translation: Dang, I forgot to dress up for today again. I was going to tell a bunch more stupid stories from school, but it's too hard to do it talking like a pirate. :P Hey, if someone didn't know I was trying to talk like a pirate, it would look like I'm talking fancy-ish, don't you think?)

Skipper Levi should be coming to talk like all seafaring men also. I be going to need a word with that man. What he be thinking, forgetting such a glorious day as this!? I should have him walkin' the plank for this mutiney! What ye say? That I be forgetting today also? That I should be walkin' the plank too? WHO DO YE THINK I BE!!? I be Captain Shino! Captain! For that I should send ye to Davy Jones' Locker also ye scurvy dog!
(Translation: Levi should come talk like a pirate here too. What's he thinking, forgetting today of all days!? He should be punished for being so disloyal! Huh? I forgot today too? So I should be punished too? WHO THE CRAP DO YOU THINK I AM!!? XD I'm Shino, biatch! The Asain! I hope you get headshotted for that n00b!)

o.O

2007-09-17T12:06:00.000-06:00

Shino: WHAT THE CRAP LEVI!? XD That was the biggest waste of space I've ever seen. I wonder though, did he have like Word open when cleaning this or something so it typed all of this? I really doubt he'd remember all that.

Anyways, so I'm at the U right now. I should be doing HW probably too, but I've only got half an hour, so meh. (-o- ) Some weird things I saw/thought at school: I was walking to the main building twice, and both times I saw this girl who, my first thought when I saw her, were "Woah! Link boots!" Seriously, she had these greenish-brown boots that would like flap down (like Link's!) and they also had belts, which Link's technically don't have, but it wouldn't look weird, y'know?

There's a sign here that says WASTE RECEPTACLE. That's gotta be the fanciest way to say GARBAGE CAN. EVER.

I still really wanna play games and draw since, so far, I've only played games like once every other week, and the only time I draw is doodles in my book, which I can tell are getting worse cuz I'm getting rusty probably. I'll post those pictures later cuz they're so simple and funny. :D

Some things I've noticed about myself: I like the face ' XD ' a lot. When walking normally, I clench my right hand only. I like art cuz I can make stuff up, not to draw RL stuff. I like manga/anime cuz it's not RL. I can eat vegetables, I just choose not to. :P

And much more, coming to select theaters near you!

Woah, this might actually get longer than I thought it would be, but I might as well say stuff that I was just thinking of saying later anyways. :P

First, you have to go see this:

e1n's doodlechat #whoknows

At work, I told one girl about this and thought up even more things we could add on to this.

Things That Shouldn't Be Metal:(TTSBM?)
-Cheese
-Toothbrush
-Hair

I think I'll start my own list of something like e1n's, but different of coarse. :P Oh yeah, just to get it out, me and Levi cried with laughter on like every one of e1n and pals' doodle above. I love you and your doodlechats e1n!!! (>///<)

All Clean Now!

2007-09-14T15:25:00.000-06:00

Levi: HAHA! I just cleaned my keyboard today, WHILE the computer was on. AWESOME. So, in commemoration, here is what was typed while I cleaned.

Aaah! Real Aliens!

2007-09-09T10:04:00.000-06:00

Shino: OH MY GOSH!!! They're gonna do a live action "Ben 10"!!! XD I dunno if it's just a movie or it'll be like that from now on though. I kinda hope not, just a movie would be cool. Comes out in November. Check out the trailer!

Ben 10 webpage

Gyah! I LOVE the fire dude! (Can't remember his name right now.) And I think that was Xiler8 (GRAGH!!) near the end. Ugly! XD The kid who plays Ben looks like that "Re-Animated" kid, but I looked on Wikipedia and is seems that it isn't.

Speaking of live action, I heard (also on Wikipedia) that they're making an "Avatar: The Last Air Bender" movie! Like, in theaters kinda movie, not just a TV movie like "Ben 10." It's gonna be directed by M. Night Shyamalan, and it's gonna be a trilogy, each movie being each book I think. All the bending is gonna look so cool in real life!

Yeah, I think I have a thing for seeing elements in real life. Like I really liked "Ghost Rider" too. All the fire, and those 3 elements bad guys! X3 Another thing I'm looking forward to in the Avatar movie is the moves. Like each element has their own kind of fighting style that it's based on. Like how water is kinda flowy, and air is all circly, and earth is biggy, and fire is fasty. (<- looks like I said fatty. XD) COOLNESS!!!

The End Tis a Lie!

2007-09-05T15:28:00.000-06:00

Levi: I lied! The final chaper of my story will not be coming any time soon! I haven't been able to work on it 24/7 like I used to (god, I love summer :P), and I have found a certain revision of chapter 7. It's gonna be soooooo tragic. Oooh baby.

MUAHAHA! Well, it's not really EVIL or anything; just deranged :D

ALSO! I have come up with the MASTER PLAN for a new story. All I am going to say is that it has to revolve around Ganondorf. Ooooooh, what will happen? Here's your final hint: it's a tragedy. Toodles!

OH MY GOD! CUTE!!!

2007-09-02T21:23:00.001-06:00

Levi: HOLY SHIT. These are the most AWESOME pictures that I have taken of my cat recently! She looks so PISSED!!!

I love the second one especially (even though it's on its side >.<) because she looks like, "Hey, what'chu takin' a picture of, punk?"

GRAAAAWWRRG!!!

2007-09-02T09:09:00.001-06:00

Levi: I know we use titles like that too much, but that's how I feel!

Anyway, I was going through a lot of the lists of the greatest games of all time, and I can't believe how many time SUPER MARIO BROS. came up!

Alright; I got nothing against the game. In fact, it was pretty fun—but it wasn't THAT fun. I would've given it an 8 of 10 or something! I also noticed that overall, Super Mario 64 was the greatest game of all time. It was pretty fun, and I won't say anything about it, because I'm not QUITE done with it yet.

Anyway, what I mean to say is that the greatest game of all time isn't based upon how CLASSIC it was; it's about how much you enjoyed doing it, and when you completed the game, did you say, "Wow, that was fun."

But humans will always be humans: when someone asks them what their favorite game was, the first game that comes to mind is Mario, because EVERYBODY knows about it. That doesn't mean it was the greatest, though. Grr.

The End Tis Nigh!

2007-09-01T09:05:00.000-06:00

Levi: Yeah, so my story is almost over. I've probably got one more chapter to go, then an epilogue. SAD! Well, not really; I want to get the story over with :D. I've enjoyed writing it, though! WAAAAAH! Why must it end!?

Maybe I'll make a sequel... but it's a TRAGEDY! ZOMG! We will have to see... mehehehehehehe.

Hmm, I wonder if a tragedy would be any fun to write... (imagines making readers all depressed) Alright! I'll give it a shot.

Two flavors, different colors.

2007-08-28T15:06:00.000-06:00

Levi: HAHA! I made the biggest discovery today! I was listening to Midna's Desperation, and then I listened to the Hyrule Field theme from Twilight Princess, and I noticed that they are the exact same song, but played in a different style. SPUNKY!!!

Not in a bad way, though. I think it's totally cool that they did that; it's like the sad version of the Hyrule Field :'(

Also, I have chapter five up on my story :D. If you wanna read, just click on my link that sends you to my Fanfiction Profile and clicky my story.

WOO! Sad version powerrrr!

Not gonna waste talent

2007-08-25T12:05:00.000-06:00

Shino: Just remembered this, so check it out. Seal Clubbing! Or was is Club Sealing?

While you're at it, check out this guys other stuff!:

Devastis's deviantART

Horses

2007-08-24T16:57:00.000-06:00

Shino: Yeah, my professor in my Mechanical Engineering class actually joked about the whole "cylinder horses" thing. XD Also, check out this person's webcomic!

Wasted Talent

BWAHAHAHAHA! Story time!

2007-08-24T09:26:00.000-06:00

Levi: I have finished chapter two of my story, "Calm Before the Storm", and I have gotten two reviews in the last two days! I REQUIRE MORE REVIEWS!!! RAAAAWWWRRR!!!

Anyway, feel free to read mah story :DDD. It is also post Twilight Princess story, so don't bother reading it if you haven't finished the game. Unless you like spoiling the ending to things, which makes you a loser, and that makes me pity you, and that makes me cry :(

Here's the url:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3739866/1/Calm_Before_the_Storm

RAWR TIME!

Stop! Doodle-Time!

2007-08-23T16:48:00.000-06:00

Shino: Yeah, so I'm sad that there doesn't seem to be any kind of doolechat thingie for Macs. That totally blows!

But! I DOODLED TODAY!!! XD Not on a paper, but with MSN! Now how the crap could I do this when I just said I couldn't? I used my school's computer! And my mom was at work (which uses Windows too), so I just sent like 20 doodles to her. She couldn't doodle back, so I was just randomly sending random doodles to her. So it wasn't a doodlechat since she couldn't draw back, but she commented.

The only regret I have is that I didn't save the conversation so you'll never see my mouse-induced masterpieces. Let's see, I drew a pikachu, shoop-da-whoop, fruit, Unko Hakase (Professor Poop), random faces, random poses, and other stuff.

Now I just gotta find someone who will doodlechat with me during my breaks at school...

Squishee

2007-08-18T10:20:00.000-06:00

Shino: So my friend at work bought us (the workers) all slurpees from 7-11 last night. She mixed everybody's with the Orange Fullthrottle and something else. Mine was with Raspberry. AND TOGETHER, THEY TASTED LIKE FRUIT ROLL-UPS. NO KIDDING. (._O) Who'd a thunk it?

I'm also watching Bleach episode 44 right now on YouTube. GAWD that site has everything! Well, not really actually. Anyways, that cyborg-ish Captain of 12th squad, who has the laboratory? Yeah, his Japanese voice actor is Baikin Man's voice from Anpan Man. If you're not Japanese, you'll probably not know what the hell I'm saying. Anyways, I love that guy's voice! XD I've heard it a lot in lots of shows.

There are just some Japanese voice actors/actresses that you remember in your life cuz they're everywhere and they have such a unique voice. He is one of 'em. A few others (for me at least) is Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Franky, and Chopper's voices. Luffy was also Kirimaru from Nintama Rantarou. Usopp is Inuyasha and Shinichi from Detective Conan. Speaking of Rantarou and Conan, those two are the same voice actress too. Zoro is Mugen from Samurai Champloo, and some other small roles I've heard. Franky was Jango, Mr. 2-Bon Clay, and I think someone else from One Piece. Chopper is Pikachu, and other cute little animal-like characters in other anime. I like Onizuka's voice too from G.T.O. He's in Bleach too!

Well, no one seems to care about the voice actors that much... They need SOME recognition, even if no one will read or care about what I'm rambling on about above. *sigh* There are a few English voice actors too that are good and I've remembered. Not their real names of course. Pssh! Like I could remember peoples' names! Good one! But I won't list 'em cuz I should really go shower.

Dang. School starts in 2 days.

. . .

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

I feel so young!

2007-08-17T21:33:00.000-06:00

Levi: I've started using Fanfiction again (after about three years of not visiting... heh), what with finishing "Twilight Princess", and I must say, most of the stories based on Zelda stink. I've found some that are an interesting read, but a vast majority are just cheesy love stories that you finish reading, wondering if your girlfriend is going to dump you (yeah, it's that bad). And so I raise the question: What happened to the humor stories? I remember a time where there were humor stories everywhere. You wouldn't see a page without at least one. And most of all, they were hilarious. Now, I only see love stories and what-not left and right. Not that I have anything against love stories; I just don't like all these cheesy piles of poo. So now, I pose the question: Wilt thou join me in my humorous crusade? We'll see.

I'd like to advertise my favorite fanfiction on the whole website! It's not a cheesy love story, and it's a very in-depth storyline.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3717267/1/The_Flow_of_Time

It's a post "Twilight Princess" story, so if you haven't finished the game yet, don't read! However, if you HAVE finished it, go ahead and read it!

Also! I'm here to say that I've started writing stories again, and that you should read them. I can see one problem though: nobody reads this blog! It's so sad :'(

Well, enjoy reading.

The Adventures of Sir Markus and Madam Levsta

2007-08-17T19:27:00.000-06:00

Levi: These are HILARIOUS emails that Mark and I sent to each other, making stuff up as we went. It started with me telling him that I quit using my hotmail email (even though I never had one...?) and that I would use Yahoo from then on. It just got more and more insane as it went on.
Note: We both came up with nicknames for each other a while back; Mark started calling me Da Levsta, and I caught on and started calling him Markus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
madam levsta that makes no scense. why change from hotmail to yahoo? anyways you answer none of my questions!? why do you not answer the succulent questions of mark?

Indeed the questions were succulent, good sir Markus. However, they were not tender! You must slap them up with charbroiled cabbage sauce to get it to the right temperature. I hope this helps!

Oh but madam levsta it does!! now i can make the most delectible questions in all of france!!

No no no no! The sky is the limit, Sir Markus, but that does not mean you should revert to feeding the French! Their taste buds are exceedingly picky, and their ears are exceedingly prickly!

You know, your right!!! why feed the french!? they dont like my succulence? why feed them!! i say we open up our own law frim!! and with it, we ask the most tender, juicy, and downright saucy questions this hemishpere has ever witnessed!! i kan see it now!! you and me standing there with big southern moustaches, combing them!! and wearing chefs hats. Of course we are prematurly bald!! who cares!! we do get all the madens anyway right!! yes yes, i can see it now!

Myesssss... the moustaches will be so soft that I can finally sell my cat. I don't need him; he isn't even that soft anyway. But of course, we would live in a giant sausage, good Sir Markus. We can feed off of it for the next decade, and perhaps donate to the orphanage. The orphanage won't know what hit them!

but madam, would'nt you rather sell the sausage to feed the starving emo foundation? i mean, they are of course more grateful and elegent than those smarmie little orphans. if i were you, which i partly am; i would cook the sausage and attract women! yes of course! and those saucy mustaches!! it would real them in like fish to a flashlight! oh wouldnt we be the talk of the town!! of course! everyone knows how females LOVE a good sausage fair. oh yes, its a wonderful plan! your brilliant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Following this conversation, Mark asked me why I hadn't sent him a response in a long time. It turns out that I was in the moving process, and I had no access to a computer! However, every time I visited my Mom's place, I would send him an email.
Note: Daryl is Mark's best friend, whom is also my friend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
madam levsta!!! why does he not respond to the messages!?

Sir Markus! I have no access to the computer, what with my relocation to the five mile radius of Sugar House! Our house has been war torn by the ferocious "Construction Manager" beasts. Floors are ridden with nails, paint marks stain the walls. Our communication with the outside world have been cut off, making me vulnerable. I, however, have a contraption that can keep me alive for the time being. It's called a Wiiiiiiiiii. Currently, I am taking temporary refuge at my mother's house, hoping to find some hope in survival. I have sent out many SOS messages! Have you not received any of them?

Alas, madam, I have received none. I believe our communication is being jammed by some evil, daryl-like creature. It is only a theory, but I believe in time he may attack one of us!! Making the other vulnurable! We must stop him before that happens! Although; today the beast has left home. I shall sneak in and see what i can dig up. If I have time; I wonder; I shall take down that beastly construction manager you have bragged such about. Release you from his gaze, and stab him in the back of the knee! Its a wonderful plan but it needs your locks of flowing hair. Distract that evil man while I sneak up on him! If you fail, it will mean the end of all hope for all of us! So take this sword to the deep fires of daryl's sandbox. There, you must find the courage to throw it in! If not daryl may get all fussy that theres a plastic sword laying next to his sandbox. Certain doom for all of us I presume. That is all my friend, have fun wii-ing all over the place, but dont get any on the couch, he hates that.
(Levi: OMG, I nearly puked in laughter after reading that.)

Have you forgotten that the back of his knee has been shielded by the shrapnel of the metals from my boom box's wires. Alas, I have never owned a boom box! How does he continue to create such malicious armories!? I have, however, found a way to weaken him. Only the tear drop from the fattest of hobos can lower his defences. Alas, hobos have little to eat! They are in rare occasions plump! I send you this plea to quest for the fattest hobo!

Myes, myes, I didn't forget about that knee, I was testing you to see your compatibility with a siemese cat. Congradulations, enjoy your date with that almost hairless cat. Alas, this fattest hobo crusade will surely weaken me. Perhaps I could scrounge up a servant boy while I bide some time with this construction manager. Hopefully I can give you enough time. Avenge your never owned boombox. For this shall be a great victory over the evil powers of the heavy laborers. They are strong, but I beleive with a few sacrifices of some race that no one likes, we shall be victorious. Seek me out. I shall wait in the sandbox of the fat one they call...DARYL!!! Grappling forever with that cat that has the voice of a thousand shattered windows. Come quick, he's very sassy.

Shino: ZOMG!!! They're gonna show all, ALL the Naruto episodes on Cartoon Network tomorrow! (I think it was tomorrow) That's all 100 episodes! 50 hours!! 3 DAYS!!! XDDDDD ALL WEEKEND LOOOOOOOOONG!!! HOLY SHIT!!! Too bad I've already seen them all when they came out. :P

Also, I just watched that Outkast's movie "Idlewild." It was OK. Oh yeah! I also saw "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" yesterday. There were some parts that made me almost cry with laughter. Sooooo hilarious! I don't care what anyone else says, I love Adam Sandler. He's just such a joker/tough guy! XD

Levi: I'm sending this message from my wii! Woohoo! It takes too long! Bye!

Got the internet!

Levi: I got the internet set up at my house! WOOOOO! Now I can make blog posts like a champion! ALSO! On the same day, I tried setting up the Airport on my computer to send out a signal to my Wii, but I guess Macs are preset to only send their signals to other Macs.

SO! I called Nintendo Support, and he KINDA walked me through a few things, then he sent me an email with step-by-step instructions on how to make the Wii compatable with the Mac. IT TOOK ME THE WHOLE DAY TO GET IT TO WORK. What a rip! PSH!!!

BUT! I don't care! I have the internet on my Wii now, and it's friggin' AWESOME!!! I will try to make a post from my Wii next time :DDD.

TV Troubles

2007-08-07T19:08:00.000-06:00

Shino: Forgot to say this in the last post, but my 13" 1994 Panasonic Tube TV, model PV-M1324, has kinda broken. I can hear sounds and change the channels, but the screen is just black with a white line. PLEASE, CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIX IT? Or can you not do it by yourself? Cuz I kinda don't wanna go turn it in to get fixed. *sigh* Maybe I'll just buy a new little TV/VCR. :'(

Also, a random thing, but there's this kinda new show called "Just For Laughs" where they pull pranks on people, kinda like Candid Camera I think. Anyways, I just saw one and it was hilarious! XD People would golf, and when their ball would go over a little hill that you can't see over, they pushed a button to make a small explosion! Some people were so scared that they blew up something with their golf ball, or just surprised thinking that their ball exploded!! XDDDD And then later, a guy all covered in ashes would walk over the hill and show them the camera they're on. Oooooh, man. Explosions are ALWAYS funny!
