Woo wooo!--too funny.

Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar...such perfect late night looping music...

I had this hilarious routine worked out in my head to More Than I Needed to Know, only to find out that it isn't on Extreme...damn, I guess I'll have to debut it at the mall's MAX2 then. Let's just say it involves some interesting interpretations of the lyrics.

Friday was a date-less Valentine's Day Starbase gathering, and the night turned out to be a blast. I brought a couple Magic decks that Wang turned from crap into usable crap, which Sophie and Arthur (of Starbase) poked around and scoffed at (the structure of that thing is just totally random). Chris's online girlfriend, being from New York where DDR hasn't evolved or something, was actually impressed by handslaps and kneedrops, so Bryan and I put on a Dynamite Rave slapfest like always. We even freestyled to BAG~!

NOBODY was at the Oasis, literally, so we moved on and got ice cream at Double Rainbow, people did self-defense they learned in P.E. and Sophie "practiced her technique" on her whip cream shake (...). And I have to say this: walking around with the Crew is too much fun; it makes me feel like I can say or do anything...that's how close to them timid ol' me feels. Let's hear it for gangs!

The highlight of the night was the driving around in Jeff's CAR...except, uh, every trip, Andy was jammed into my lap in the most awkward position possible. We blasted 1337 music out the windows from CDs that Adam and Bryan burned, including Superstition, the theme to Peter and the Wolf (XD), Cartoon Heroes, DJ Gay Boy, and some ear blasting bad techno, headbanging along and doing Strong Bad techno impersonations and cracking up and...yeah, you had to be there. I got to see The Valley where Sophie lives, and yes, it's as bland and "middle of nowhere" as it's been said to be (heheh, we played the theme to Chariots of Fire as we entered the legendary area in slow-motion). And all of Jeff's CAR did the hand movements to V, just like in Bryan's video. XD

EDIT: This song had us gasping for breath from laughing so much...yelling "LOOOVE THIS FEELINNN!!!" during it was just too perfect.

So the night was just nonstop fun and gaimz. It almost made me forget about the ludicrous school shit that happened earlier on that day which I might go into later (let's say something so bad happened 2nd period AP Lit that I later went around and kicked the crap out of anything that was around the soccer field)...is it just me or are Fridays getting better and better each week? :P

Saw Chicago again today with Hannah and Andy...funny, the first time I got in for free with free drinks and candy, and this time I payed $9.00. Usually it's the other way around, but that's how much I wanted to see this again. I remembered so many of the great lines as they came up...heh, this is definitely a movie somebody could memorize. See it for Queen Latifah's mama song and Catherine Zeta-Jones and "We Both Reached For the Gun", fools.

DDR ego strokage: I had the most massiv mall crowd ever earlier today watching me do doubles--I mean, I turned around and was just blown away, it was awesome. :P I failed On the Jazz on the 2nd song, though, ugh (it was on Standard "Little" doubles, since more steps = less worry about cool arm movements...although I should really freestyle stuff on Light more, regardless of how stupid I look)...still got compliments from the mall crowd, but gad do I hate failing during a freestyle. The difficulty on that thing is so jacked up it scares newbies off and messes up freestylers, but I guess that's the price we pay for...the price we pay. ($0.50 >=)

Valentine's Day special that night: Jeff and I tried "Love Love Heart" (XD) nonstop course on "difficult"...

584 Marvelouses
218 Perfects
96 Greats
2 Goods

And a 960something combo, my highest yet on foot! And tonight I got a full combo on Kakumei...yess, my second full combo'd cata!

Alright, enough bragging for now, carry on with your browsing. And download Robin William's Broadway standup off Kazaa, it's off teh hook.

Indogutsu has finally released a trailer for his highly anticipated RM2K project. If it doesn't work, comment or ask me on AIM...the game sounds like very promising stuff. :)

Lately I'm in awe of TranPowah's "The Reflex" routine (DDRFreak doesn't want me directly linking to their videos, sorry)...god, I wish I could dance like that. I must freestyle that on doubles the next time I play.

Track's been painful (walking up stairs hurts >_<) this first week, but it still feels good to get out and do something each day. Sam said something hilarious the other day as we were on a random "blaze your own trail" run at China Camp:

Sam: We're lost. I don't think Bruce meant for us to come this way.
Me: I don't think Bruce meant for a lot of things to happen, Sam.

LOTR...hah. I swear, cross country is the sport to do if you're a geek. XD

Also, the track workout yesterday resembled a wet T-shirt contest and a mud wrestling match at the same time.

Hmm, two chauvinist sports mentioned in the same sentence...if my AP Lit teacher saw this, she'd smack me upside the head with a thesaurus.

Nathalie sent me a package yesterday filled with the what I told her was my favorite candy. Was it for Valentine's Day? It never said "Happy Valentine's Day", so I'll never know, but I like to think it was. =)

I've had this chorus from Chicago stuck in my head, been trying to memorize it...I think I finally got it down today, woo:

Oh yes, oh-yes, oh-yes, oh-yes, they both, oh-yes, they both, oh yes, they both, reached for, the gun, the-gun, the-gun, the-gun, oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun

Tournament videos are stuck in film club camera case that ISN'T AT SCHOOL and I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS. Great.

Donnie Darko looks good. o_o

...the movie.

Peace rally this Sunday...I might go...depends who else is. =\

One person that won't, though, is Nathalie. I've been straight-up (and rightfully) told to quit whining about her never coming to SF and take a train myself to Palo Alto (maybe with Adam/someone else)...other than waiting for her, this is my only option to meet her. See, even if I could drive, the parents don't want me going 60 miles up and 60 miles back by myself. Can't train anytime soon, though, since she'll be gone until late Wednesday next week and I'll be gone on Thursday...whatever.

Heh, Kurt Vonnegut on peace rallies:

When it became obvious what a dumb and cruel and spiritually and financially and militarily ruinous mistake our war in Vietnam was, every artist worth a damn in this country, every serious writer, painter, stand-up comedian, musician, actor and actress, you name it, came out against the thing. We formed what might be described as a laser beam of protest, with everybody aimed in the same direction, focused and intense. This weapon proved to have the power of a banana-cream pie three feet in diameter when dropped from a stepladder five-feet high.

And so it is with anti-war protests in the present day. Then as now, TV did not like anti-war protesters, nor any other sort of protesters, unless they rioted. Now, as then, on account of TV, the right of citizens to peaceably assemble, and petition their government for a redress of grievances, �ain�t worth a pitcher of warm spit,� as the saying goes.

begh, 2400 words on DDR in my life and not a single comment yet...was that really necessary? I'm probably starting to scare readers off with posts that long.

Beware Jews wearing Twister-pants.
