Okay, like Rin said, no more living in the past. That is what happens when you are unemployed. Too much thinking time. Sometimes, you just have to draw the bow and let the arrow fly, know what I'm saying? No, probably you don't.

If time travel was a practical reality but you could only affect your personal history, what event or events would you change?
Me, I'd go back and tell past me to choose Stephanie over Mildred, no matter how awesomely good-looking Mildred and past me looked together. Not to imply Stephanie was ugly or anything; she had this red-head sexy bespectacled librarian look going for her....

I don't think they go into it thinking that stupid games are the answer to the casual gaming market...I think they try to fit the "square peg" of pop culture into the "round hole" (to use a horrible metaphor) of gaming.
The Sims was a great answer to casual gaming...and I think something like a Clueless branded sim involving changing outfits would have appealed to the causal gamer when the movie was first released.
However, the market for it now is, well, non-existant. People who are still fond of the movie and would enjoy a game based off of it...but probably not the game that is going to be made. A sim that involves dating and changing outfits doesn't seem to mesh with the age bracket they should be targeting with this game.
It'll be fun though...like when you know some kid on a skateboard is gonna eat it hard and you can't look away.

Well, apparently, according to Paramount they don't have plans for any portable games yet, but depending on the performance of the Mean Girls, Pretty in Pink, and Clueless console games...they might make portable versions.
Can you guess how excited I am to see this movie?
The brilliance of this reboot of the Batman film franchise is that it has made me care for the cinematic Bruce Wayne as much as I care about the four-colour Bruce Wayne. The scene in 'Batman Begins' where young Bruce breaks down and cries in front of his butler, Alfred, is heart-breaking.

Girl: So, what do you do?
Me: I'm a video game engineer.
Girl: Ah, nice.
Me: Do you like video games?
Girl: No, I'm not into them. I think they're crap.
Me: Fair enough.
Girl: Don't you think making video games is immature?
Me: In what way?

Aw, I think it's a bit to do with the Wolverine (tough loner) appeal. But, I like Hellboy better, because she seems more human and accessible than Wolverine. And, I think he's wittier too.
Right. I'm done moping. As someone told me very pointedly yesterday, 'Just let it go'. Now it's gone.
In hindsight, hearing that MJ is engaged to someone else forced me to face that malingering bit that was still stuck on on the fact that once she loved me enough to consider marrying me and was hoping she would change her mind. It was a cold...

If I wasn't leaving the country in a few weeks, I would do anything to get that bike and fix it up. That moped is my wet dream.

I'm not keen on the rubber. But ropes, oh honey. Tie me up and I'm yours 
Fuck you , MJ Richards. I'm not going to let you make me stop liking Sloan because they are your favourite band.
Also, fuck you, MJ, for making me get rid of my porn.
In other news, I'll see YOU at San Diego Comic Con 2008.

HAHA, I just saw your comment on my set.... THANKS, you goof!

You might like sharp teeth for all I know! (if you catch my drift)...hahaha
You know, I don't obsess over the Youtubes like you kids, but I'm enamoured with this video.
You just don't see people work this hard these days to produce something so genuine.

yeah i can see that. but i'm a big fan of fairy tales, fables, mythology, etc. in general. i have 3 fairy tale collections, and a number of modern re-tellings (either novel or short story collections), as well as a few theory books. so it seemed only natural that i would like fables.
that being said, it damn near broke my heart when some dumb as shit girl presented on them in my graphic novel class and then proceeded to vaguely rip off the idea for her (really, really awful) graphic fiction piece for the class anthology.
aaaaand finally when i got books regularly i got like 17 titles a month, which is nothing for some people, but a lot compared to 1.

yeah i totally took a graphic novel class last semester, it was pretty sweet. the concentration was on non-superhero books though: maus, persepolis, american-born chinese, american splendor, jimmy corrigan, fun home, and the anthology of graphic fiction. still ew could present on whatever we wanted, and some people did do superhero books. i did a craig thompson book.
Mama, don't let your babies grow up to become game engineers.

Well, I will be sure to take some pics of me in my cute job interview outfit today to make up for that other pic! I don't want everyone thinking I put on a billion pounds! I put on about 8 over the winter, but that still puts me at 117 pounds! That ain't fat, dammit!

Lonesome life, is it?
I still haven't read Sandman or Preacher, so... yeah.

I woke up anxious this morning. For some reason, I'm having doubt about leaving Vancouver. Not leaving the job, but leaving the city. I gotta admit, we have it pretty good here, in terms of climate and things to do. I'm sure Boston is grand, but I have a view of the coastal mountains from my apartment. Is this what is termed as yuppie angst?...

Oh, I know. I've just been too sedentary for years because I have heart problems and am always afraid to exercise in a way that exacerbates it.
morgan:
So Wii Fit = asexual sex?
Holy shit, I'm moving to Boston in less than 2 months!
You know what is cool? When the circumstances of a particular situation vindicate a decision you have made.
Here is what I'll be doing today:
1) Teaching Japanese jiujitsu.
2) Swimming.
3) Reading about the latest Skrull reveal.
4) Packing up my comic books.
BTW, vote for my set!

that is so sad. I wish the government would stop mimicking the U.S. in immigration issues! I am sure you heard about the Iraq deserters not being granted asylum.

well thanks!
also, holy buttertarts is a pretty sweet exclamation.
