| I guess I was wrong in saying there won't be any last second blogging. Here's a last bit of content for the year--and how lucky that it was finished just in time for today.
Indogutsu Tenbuki Note: He spent exactly $0 on recording equipment here, using only Sound Recorder and RM2K (how he used RM2K: "I played a SaGa Frontier 2 MIDI in the background (Feldschlacht IV, for the curious), and used "Play Sound Effect" to synchronize my rap track over the MIDI. But I had to time it just right."). See, this is what true fans do for us. :) Major propsz, Indo! And HAPPY NEW YEAH |

| For those that didn't see, there's a bigass blog beneath this that I spent a couple weeks on, so read it. :P
Time for y'all to hear about the "crazy" night I had a couple nights ago. And this blog is LINK FREE! (except for one) Okay, so we meet at Starbase. Annie is a little freaked out by the flying feet of Jeff and I, I discover that Silent Hill maniac doubles is the funnest thing ever, and Sophie plays Doc Marten DDR, which actually worked (*CLOMP**CLOMP**CLOMP*). Side note: Annie, Sophie, and I were all wearing courdoroy, wtf. Then Jeff drives us over to Fort Mason to see BATS, right? Wrong. There's nobody there, and all doors are closed. I guess nobody checked to see, uh, WHICH Saturdays BATS is performing. So Ms. Yanow gets the idea of "Hey, we can go to the Metreon!", which isn't actually a bad idea (heh, what else are we gonna do?), except for the fact that Jeff didn't KNOW THE WAY. So we wander (can you wander in a car?) around the city until we see Van Ness...then pass it. Jeff even drove the wrong way down a ONE WAY STREET at one point, which got huge laughs, screams, etc. The car was fun...conversation started out kinda slow and awkward, but by the end of it we were pretty crazy. I was kinda worried that the lack of Bryan/Adam would make for a boring car ride, but all that meant was that there were less Homestar references and "your mom" jokes. The Annie/Sophie combo made up for that (more "WE'RE GOIN' A TEXAS" references). One could say they...click. We park (at the top of the parking garage, as Annie insisted on it), get in the Metreon, and buy 12 freaking dollar tickets for...THE LION KING (IMAX version, wee!). ... It was all that was playing, okay? Besides, Annie/Sophie were giggling like Japanese schoolgirls (who got brought up more times during the trip than I'd care to remember) both about seeing it and making me see it. Jeff and I got to empty our wallets into the ultra-expensive DDR MAX2 (which Sophie hates with a passion, hahah) with a good song set (AM-3P freestyle!/A Minute/Long Train Runnin/So Deep, which he passes for the first time). Jeff and I lose the girls (who went off shopping or something), then wait for at least 10 minutes, so I head to the bathroom to de-DDR myself. Heheh, I saw a guy changing shirts there because of DDR. Now get this: Exiting the bathroom and seeing all three of them telling me to hurry, I do a cheesy slow motion run down the long movie theatre corridor to get to them, then stop about halfway down because it looks like this amazing combo of gay/pathetic at the same time. In earshot, I hear this group talking: Guy: Oh my god. Girl: Oh my god, that was the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen. I speed walk down the hall, not wanting to hear anything else. XD We then see the Lion King. Yeah. Big screen. o_o It was actually sorta cool recalling all the lines and stuff I used to have down from seeing it as a kid, and the animation was niiice thanks to the IMAXifiedness of it (sure enough, they had darkened out the hidden dust reference to SEX). And yeah, I admit, I used to listen to the musical numbers on tape all the time. After one more dance with Silent Hill sliding and a really generic Spin the Disc freestyle (I hear there was a group of Asian girls giggling over us :), it's all the way up and down the parking garage (Jeff goes the wrong way in the beginning--surprise). Then the fun starts. First, Jeff starts off in the wrong direction, and gets on the freeway to southbound San Jose. Then Annie tells him to "follow the crab", which means he follows the numerous orange signs with a crab on them, pointing the way to Fisherman's Wharf. Jeff proceeds to get boxed into the left lane, and TURN ONTO THE BAY BRIDGE. So we cross, all the while screaming because it's getting close to midnight to when Jeff can't drive us legally anymore (but then again, who cares), Sophie's already called her dad to pick her up at Starbase about 15 minutes ago, and we're on the BAY BRIDGE for god sakes. We illegal U turn it back, eventually find the place the crab was leading us, and make it to Starbase at...I dunno, around 12:20 or so. 2 Rockstars later, Jeff and I are done for the night, and I sit down here and type this for you. Christmas was pretty eh. I ended up with a new 17" monitor, the Waking Ned Devine soundtrack (shut up :), a Tower gift certificate which I'll probably use to buy something from DJ Shadow or the Flaming Lips, this hilarious cynical book on all aspects of Canada from a Canadian, much pants (COURDOROY), much preppy shirts, much candy. My sister got Kingdom Hearts, and although I'm still not into RPGs, I've been playing this every now and then. Hehah, I just thought of the best name for a geeky band: "RUN.DLL" Obligatory DDR update: I was amazed that I could almost make it all the way through MaxX Unlimited (about 10 seconds from the end), until I checked the difficulty on Stepmania and found that it was at 2. >_< New Year's should be interesting tomorrow. I have no idea whether or not I'll be going to Scandia for a $20-for-everything free night, or Bryan's party. I'd go to the biggest "event" (rave) evar with Steve/Felix/Simbo, except that it's off-limits thanks to my parents. So...unless I blog at the last second at Bryan's, HAPPY CHANGING OF THE DATE WHICH WE MUST MAKE A HUGE FUSS ABOUT Whatever happened to Jonathan Taylor Thomas? |
