Twenty - Guilt Ride With Doctor

(Current Time: 9:46 Am, 2nd Blk)
(Current Sounds: Heroines by Diablo Swing Orchestra)

Musings and A Review:

Hello hello! Sorry for the very dreary last post. Its time for me to move on. Lolo would've wanted that.

I've found a project idea for English (and maybe even Creative Writing 12 credit if I tried too).

First off, my brother gave me an interesting novel for my 18th birthday. (well, gave me the idea to read it).

The Book With No Name by Anonymous.

First off, the publishers that made it were LionYard and Momsbooks. (just in case you have no idea who published the book--I mean, its a book with no author OR chapter list OR anything else within it. Just the story and its gruesome plot with it.)

Anyways, the back cover is, as follows:

Whatever you do, DON'T read The Book With No Name.

An untitled book by an anonymous author brings death to anyone who reads it.

'The Eye of the Moon'--a mysterious blue stone--has gone missing.

And in Santa Mondega, all hell is about to break loose. Literally.

First thoughts for this novel--Oh. My.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A NO MORE HEROES NOVELIZATION :D

Just reading the town's name--Santa Mondega--it gave me a hint that this book had modern western themes and blood references. Which--it does, and much more.

I'll just write the warning here: 

Contains a LOT of crude language, heavy alcohol usage, sexual situations, and... oh JEEZ. It reminds me a lot about a Tarantino film, with its exclusive blood and gore.

I was fooled when I first saw the cover. Its NOT a children's book. 

.... Which gave me the cruel idea to read the first chapter for my auditory portion of my next English project. Heehee.

I'm going to start writing a reading journal here about The Book With No Name. Yay Yay YAAAAY. Gore.

Fifteen - Overused Euphemisms

(Current Time: 9:48 Am, 2nd Blk)
(Current Sounds: 'Juicebox' by the Strokes)

Musings:

Okay its official. I'm kind of tired of falling in and out of video game obsessions. Falling out of a anime obsession doesn't happen to me that much anymore, but the video games are the ones I'm noticing the most.
Its ANNOYING.

First off, it doesn't do me any good when I need to draw something. I'd influence my fingers to draw in that style I'm currently obsessed with.

...Kingdom Hearts for instance.

D:

IT'S QUITE EMBARASSING ENOUGH THAT I WENT THROUGH A YEAR AND 3 MONTHS OF THAT OBSESSION ON MY BACK.

I even swore myself that i would back at this and cringe at myself. Honestly? By all means, I think the one responsible for my KH overdose was THIS group of fellows right here.

Organization XIII Pictures, Images and Photos

UGH. AHH.

I could've made progress with something ELSE other than get my fill of these guys. DAMN YOU, ORGANIZATION XIII.

DAMN YOU FOR TAKING MY HEART. (lol, irony)

I also had a King of Fighters rave after one month of rehabilitation (I make it sound like a phase o.O) It semi-weared off when I saw Ash Crimson,

(CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS A GUY)

...but its still with me. Its fresh like Street Fighter, but its decently enough for me to make some nice pairings.

...

Ugh. AHH.

I tried to get into my anime self once more but I realized Bleach won't just COVER the true animes I've watched during these past 8 years.

Ishida Pictures, Images and Photos

Sorry Uryuu. GET YOURSELF A PLOTLINE AND I'LL BE HAPPY. (along with most of the other major-turned-minor characters in your series D:)

Okay. For once I slide away from that for a bit to gain some ground with my manga reading. To my dismay (well, I didn't think of that at the time....)

....I found another obsession. >_< Cain and Riff Pictures, Images and Photos

UGH AHH. UGH AHHHHH.

I still have that small little liking for the Cain Saga, despite it already ENDED IN JANUARY 2008 OF THIS YEAR. But i still make little theories as to what happens before and after with some characters.

....I could go on a rant with this. But i wont ^_^;;

Then, lately, I went FOR A WHILE, to No More Heroes.

Its cute, its kickass. I think I already wrote about this, so i'll spare the details xD. GO LOOK FOR THAT POST IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. GET A WII. GET THIS GAME.

okay not that...XD

YOU HAVE TO. TRAVIS IS....GAWD ~D: SO EFFIN HOT AND BADASS. (fangirl moment. this happens when she actually is still in an obsession.

aww damn)

I kinda wanted to play Travis D: when we borrowed that game. Ray, my brother hoooooogged it.

...And I can't wait for NMH2: Desperate Struggle. D: But I have to. >_< Terra Aqua Ven Pictures, Images and Photos
(ANYONE ELSE THINKS VEN LOOKS SIMILAR TO A CERTAIN NOBODY. THAT'S NOT DEEMED SUSPICIOUS. NOT AT ALL)

I...I'll write that theory later. When i'm on a better comp (I should be lucky I'm on one that I can still see the screen on xD)

Ciao. (MEOW D:)

Eight In the Mirror - Jealous About Her Stupid Attractiveness

(Current Time: 12:57 Pm, 4th Blk)
(Current Sounds: Some music by Masafumi Takeda)



Musings:

Goodness. I should find more 'No More Heroes' sounds. I really love this game. Thank goodness for my brother borrowing games for my obsession entetainment



Its a Wii game, obviously (I get a kick when I swing the remote and Travis *main character* swings his Beam Katana and slices all our enemies in bloody explosive bits. Its a good vent.



The main story is about this otaku/wrestling nerd named Travis Touchdown. (anyone else think his last name sounds SO pornographic?). He wins a Beam Katana in this Internet auction and decides 'Whoopty shit! I wanna become an assassin!" Which should help him, cuz of his motel household and scraping his savings for the next meal for both himself and his cat Jeane.

He then gets under a contract by the means of the vixen in the game: Sylvia Criestel. Who's got this thick French accent that pisses my sister off. (and me too. eck. just hearing her voice crackle in our Wii remote sounds like a train running over some crickets)

Anyways, the main thing that's standing in Travis' way of becoming the number one assassin is the top ten assassins of the assassin organization he's a part of (Sheesh, the assassin count is hilarious)

He gets to fight a tattoed old guy, a magnum blasting old guy, an albino black school girl chick (who holds a KATANA xD), a super-bad anti-villian, a one legged grenade specialist, a punkrocker (whom we SHOULD'VE FOUGHT), a crazy magician, a REALLY old fat lady with a cannon gun as her sexual excuse, a really really BAD girl in Lolita clothing (Trust me, she's a BITCH)

And well, it gets spoilery. I won't get into the details, but the end is covered with fourth wall breakings. Its truly a good game--I'd love to borrow it again



This game absloutely fucking AMUSES me. Here are some interesting things you do in the game:



THIS is how you save the game. Typically, yes I understand this. Take a dump to 'release all that shit you had to go through.'

My favourite assassin out of all of them. I might cosplay her someday




KIWI ADVISES Y'ALL TO GET IT.

On a further note. I hate the name 'Stacy'. That'll give ya hints as to how I'm feeling at the moment.
