Things I Am Doing

Hello!
I’m back from Japan and sad. It is cold, there is snow on the ground, I am jet lagged… not fun.

Speaking of fun, I just wanted to make a list of things that I am doing. I need to figure out which of these things I should focus on at the moment. So here goes:

  • • Playing Doom. Yes, the first one. I’m using this for mouse/kb
  • • Playing Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest in Japan). Yes, the first one! I’m being bad and using a NES emulator on my PSP. I just want to see where all the hype stems from.
  • • Cleaning up. It is very messy after packing/unpacking.
  • • Drinking water. Well I can multi-task this one…
  • • Trying to stay awake. I failed yesterday and slept from 3:45pm to 10pm
  • &bull Watching Japanese TV via KeyHoleTV 3.14
  • • Watching Dollhouse on NinjaVideo.net
  • • Reading Blackest Night. It is pretty badass. Read the lead up to it first if you don’t know much about Green Lantern.
  • • Getting pictures of my trip ready for the site and Facebook.
  • • Scanning those writey-drawey pages from when Zoo & Vix were here. Sorry for taking so long :(
  • • Organizing “Pick-up Thread” pics for NeoGAF
  • • Checkin’ Facebook. I started logging into FB again after a 55 month hiatus. I guess I should install that FB app on my Android phone.
  • • Groceries. There is nothing to eat in this house.
  • • Making MP3 CDs for my car. I’ve had the same CDs for years. 2010 it is time for some new (meaning: older) shit.
  • • Filling out my GST forms. I hate form filling.
  • • Payin’ bills that piled up during the trip.
  • • Did I mention cleaning up? This place is a nasty mess…

Am I forgetting anything?

Writey-Drawey (aka Lost in Translation)

Ok, Derrick and Vicky threw a Turkey dinner today (since they missed Thanksgiving and won’t be around for American Thanksgiving) and they taught us a party game they called “Writey-Drawey.” The name is ridiculous but the game is hilarious.

How to play:

  • • Sit in a circle
  • • Everyone writes a short sentence on a sheet of paper and folds it over
  • • Everyone passes the sheet to the left
  • • Everyone draws their rendition of the sentence they have in front of them
  • • Fold and pass to the left
  • • Everyone writes a sentence describing the picture
  • • Fold, pass, repeat until there is no room left on the paper
  • • The last action should always be writing, not drawing
  • • Then everyone takes turns comparing the first sentence to the last one

The results were so funny that I will be scanning them and posting them here later this week. Here is one example: The first sentence was “Fuck your couch” and after three rounds of drawing and writing later, the final sentence was “Prepubescant Dracula has risen from the grave.”

Check back soon for the scans!


I saw Men Who Stare at Goats this weekend and I think I laughed or chuckled during every scene. It wasn’t a dark comedy but it was quirky. Also if Clooney ever does something funny, it is worth watching.

Speaking of movies, the new place to watch the latest TV shows has been added to the Internets page under entertainment, NinjaVideo.net.

I used this site to watch all of Dollhouse, Castle and now I’m starting Fringe. I think the next one I’ll check out is Flash Forward. This site is super fast and you don’t have to share!
