Yar it be official maties. This old sea dog has set his bottle a float in hopes the u of c accepts him. It's been a treacherous journey, full of sirens and octopies and whirlpools. But alas i have taken the plunge and set sail in hopes of a new land!
yeah... with that out of the way, we'll talk about some exciting things. I bought mario galaxy purely because new super mario brothers wii just wasn't doing it for me anymore and with the upcoming mario galaxy 2 i just HAD to do it. Gotta say the game is fucking ADDICTING. It's crazy good fun with 2 people though. Try and find a mate that just wants to sit there, watch you game and collect stuff with the wii mote. I found playing it with my sister very fun, as she would critique me on how poorly i jump and yet was helpful in collecting stuff and shooting the star bit cannon. Believe me, trying to do some hardcore platforming while worrying about pointing the wii mote at the screen and shoot/collect stuff does not go over well.
I also have comprised a list of video games that i will be playing over the summer here's a taste of what i have so far
batman arkham asylum
assassin's creed 2
mario galaxy 2
no more heros 2
mario galaxy
new super mario brothers wii
fable 2 (as a bad guy)
paper mario 2 and 3
it should prove to be amazing summer because of it.

dress clothes and impulses and interviews
So i have an interview with shaw this evening. However it's for a sales job and i really really don't want the job, mostly cause you're on the road a lot and i just really don't wanna go after something like that right now. Plus sales job? again? i promised myself after last summer that i wouldn't do another job like that. it's just so hard to fit in with people like that and when i look back on the whole experience it very much feels like you're wrapped in the comfortable blanket of possibility when really, you're working your ass off and may not come home with a paycheck everyday...
So because of this interview i thought i'd try and look my best and put on some of my dress clothes from last summer. turns out i got bigger, not just horizontally but vertically too. My shoulders got wider, my arms are longer, my legs are longer and my gut is bigger. it's a bit discouraging but at the same time i'm thankful that i'm still growing a bit... some in unwanted places though.
The funniest part about all this is that at the same time this group called Vector marketing has been calling me none stop. They're a great bunch of guys from what i've heard but as i said i'm not at all in the mood for a sales job. The same guy has called at least 10 times now... and left 5 messages. i finally was actually around and didn't have my pants on the floor, so i picked up the phone. Best part was during my stay at my job last summer was that i learned about impulses. This includes but is not excluded to, fear of loss, sense of urgency, jones effect, greed and indifference. So when i started talking to the guy he was super friendly with me, asked me about how i was, then impulsed the shit out of me. "we're trying to fill these spots soon so interviews are a first come first serve basis and we have a lot of applications, are you free tonight?" i laughed to be honest. fear of loss, sense of urgency, indifference (never once did he say we're impressed by your application) and telling me there's lots of applicants? Jones effect. pretty funny stuff, i have to admit i giggled while on the phone with him.
Oh and p.s i miss when ditto wasn't just used for pokemon sex...

B gata H kei review (first impressions)
Good evening anime fans today we'll be looking at another new series that premiered this season. We'll be looking at the soon to be ecchi hit, B gata H kei
I'll be following the format laid out in my last review so lets get to it! However i will be adding a section about characters it will not at al be in depth just really quick and dirty.
Opening - Really cute sound as expected from an ecchi anime. most of it is just the main female character Yamada doing stereotypical cute things. there's also a little spot for each of the other characters. Nothing too amazing but it's not at all shitty so that's a good thing.
art style - Why does it seem more time and effort is put into ecchi art than any other art? Gotta say I'm pretty impressed, they chose a really good stereotypical ar5t style for a ecchi anime and gotta say it's really cute. It does however seem that other than different heads and tits all the characters have the exact same body... well except for Yamada cause she's got these crazy long legs and her skirt is half as long as all the other girls. That's just me being really picky though.
story - Yamada's goal is to have 100 fuck buddies by the end of high school. She's currently a virgin and wants more than anything to meet the proper guy for her to lose her virginity with. She of coarse chooses some normal, plain looking everyday high school no body, for no real reason at all. But she's a bit of an idiot when it comes to sexual matters or even how to hit on a guy. This leads to a lot of crazy things happening. Nothing that amazing or ground breaking.
characters - k, seriously, they all seem SO 2d it's not even funny. It's basically just been the same gags over and over just instead of her showing tits she'll raise her skirt. i do hope however things get a bit more interesting but i doubt it.
bonuses - They refer to virginity as having your "cherry-kun" made me fucking laugh when i listened to them speak instead of just reading subs. There's also a lot of stuff about cherrys in the anime as well. It's pretty funny
overall I'd give it a 7/10 nothing earth shattering though. It's really cute and i REALLY like the art so where it loses in being awesome it makes up for being super cute and easy to watch. Very much an anime for guys though. or lesbians. or if you're bi sexual. or just love romances with a lot of ecchi.... or don't have a significant other.

what's black and white and red all over?
pokemon apparently. A few hours ago of the time this is posted the 5th gen of pokemon games has been announced in japan. Pokemon black and white. Currently all we know is that these games will part of the 5th generation of pokemon and will feature the 2 fox pokemon Zorua and Zoroark.(these pokemon are black and red, which is where i got the red in the title from) They are slated to release at the end of this year so we will probably see an english version about a year from now if they take the same amount of time as they did for translating heart gold and soul silver.
I'd also like to comment on how much of a nerd i am for knowing this bit of news hours after it being released....really gotta get a life. i'm working on it though :)

kaichou wa maid-sama (first impression)
Good evening anime fans today we'll be looking at one of the new series that has come out this month. We'll be looking at what i hope to be an up and coming star, kaichou wa main-sama
now i have no idea what i did in the past. but what I'll be doing is looking at what i think are the 3 most important things to an anime. These are the things i look at when deciding what animes to watch.
Opening - It's got some pretty nice opening graphics switching between a couple of styles to cause a nice cute sorta atmosphere. It sorta reminded me of the Special A. It really sets up that there's something going on between the 2 main characters(obviously since it's an anime) But you do see the girl in more of a darker atmosphere a couple of times that gets explained in the anime.
art style - gotta say it's not amazing fantastic nor is it horrible. they do a lot of more "cute" things though cause well the main character is a girl after all. i think that they pull it off really well and throw in some of the "maid" aspects at time to spice up the atmosphere.
story - story seems interesting. nothing completely new though. Basic run down is that this girl goes to a school that only recently became coed and therefore has few girls. Misaka tries to do everything, be president, patrol the school, make sure the girls are treated well, maintain good grades and work a maid job. When her dad ditched the family he left a huge debt behind that has caused the whole family to be poor. the best part is that she's a maid while trying to be the model student. Funny contrast. Then the hottest guy in school finds out her secret and starts to stalk her cause he loves her. neat and i'm excited to see all the drama that happens because of it. it very much reminds of Special A again though. except the main character chick is a maid on the side.
bonuses - the first scene is absolutely amazing we see Misaka not allowing the obvious trouble makers Kurosaki, Sarashina and shirokawa into the school. then she rips out shirokawa's earrings! funniest thing ever.
overall I'd give it a 7/10 nothing earth shattering but it has potential and should be a good watch.

getting good marks and procrastinating and feeling down
So that's why this reporter says "2 birds in the bush is more than one in the ass." Let's head over to our local news corespondent Vern for a report in news no one cares about.
Thanks Tom. I'd first like to give a shout out to my mom, thanks for the chocolate bunny mom it was awesome. Now on to NEWS THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT. For our first story I'd like to let you all know that even though i handed in my computer science assignment a day late meaning i got -10% i still pulled off a 80. Yeah it was pretty awesome. rumor is that my partner on the assignment John, gave our teacher Paul some "extra curricular services" if you know what i mean. However i have yet to finish my English proposal essay it's only worth 25% of my mark and not finishing it means i fail, don't hold your breath for me. In other news, for the last few hours I've kinda felt down in a sense. i honestly don't know why, maybe I'm just stressed about this silly essay... or cause a certain someone is busy at work. But we'll just have to wait and see. For our final report I'd like to let you all know i caught zapdos, suicune and lugia last night. it was pretty bitching. Over to you Tom.
wow. just wow. i can't believe that. a 80 even while being 1 day late? that's pretty incredible. Thanks for the updates Vern.
(i couldn't tell you why i decided to write this like a news show... it'll probably never happen again)

being nice and mario and Dilbert
When catbert first made his appearance as the evil human resource manager he was nameless and the author planned to nix the character after his small role had been played. However all the fans wrote into the author saying "hey i really like catbert! can't wait till his next appearance" very interesting how what originally was a minor character turns out to be one of the new fan favourites, even more curious is that the the fans named him. Also did you guys notice that Dilbert's boss's name has never been mentioned? yeah the author refers to him as the spiky haired boss. I found Dilbert at super store randomly for $18 and just HAD to buy it. So recently i've been watching a lot. It made me wonder if watching Dilbert as a child was what lead me to be such a complete and utter nerd. i always had a fascination with engineering and maybe it just so happened to come out of my love for Dilbert. Kinda funny how now i've turned into a programmer...
My sister and i got new super mario brothers wii for Easter. we've been playing it a lot recently and i got to say it's a lot of fun. i have yet to try one player cause i know it'll be a lot easier cause i won't have to deal with my sister trying to make all of the jumps on her own then either failing or totally fucking me up...
Back in high school i was a lot nicer in general to most of the people around me. i was talking to my one friend who i've known since grade 10 and she totally agreed with me. it made me think about the things that happened which caused me to become a bit more bitter in my everyday life. There have been a few people recently that have brought out this inner niceness in me and it really made me think. So i thought maybe i should just be like this all the time. go back to being mr nice guy. It's just a thought right now i haven't totally decided on it yet... i think i might try and do it. but is forcing myself to be nice really the right thing to do? can i really go through with it we'll just have to wait and see.
