Night Isn’t Over
July 16, 2008
Okay, I couldn’t keep it to just one post for the start of my blog, so here’s another before I head off for the night.
Raid went well tonight. Was asked to heal on the druid instead of dps on the spriest, but that’s cool. First night in BT for the guild and we 2-shotted Najentus, and 1-shotted Supremus & Shade of Akama. I chock up the 2shot to terrible server problems due to the new patch and whatnot, I think we could have 1shotted him, even w/some of the n00bs.
Luke decided we should roll alli on Carl’s server to fuck w/him when we get to 70. I said it was a great idea, so of course we picked night elf warriors and named ourselves Starsky and Hutch (with ascii for the a and u). Should be fun, if Luke at least decides to keep it up ;p.
So I left off on Sunday? That was a decent day. Involved drinking at home, swimming in the pool, and slip-and-slide action. I played bartender as I mixed up delicious malibu baybreezes for the adults and just pineapple/cranberry juice for the kids. I got BIT the hell up, one on my stomach by a horse fly the size of my FIST (at least that’s what it felt like) and it left this huge red circle that was literally the size of my computer mouse (if it was circular). This other bite, from what I don’t know, left a lump on my shoulder, ugh. Fuck outdoors lol.
Monday at work was meh. Went by quick, not much that I can remember on the interesting side. That night however (last night) was guild meeting and wii hacking fun. Wii hacking went well, got some emulators on there and games working, and it seems that the region free hack may be working, but as Gavino says “looks like someone has a trip to Clinton to make”. Should pick up that $20 Japanese Naruto game for Wii and see if it works 
. Played the hell out of Battletoads / Double Dragon, maybe I’ll do a review on it for the blog (gotta love pulling chicks’ hair, kicking them in the ass, and tossing them around like dolls).
Speaking of doing stuff, Gavino and I talked about getting some stuff done, like skits and show related stuff. I suggested we do the contest over at hv20.com, involving a skit between 2 – 6 min, with teh general theme of fire (hot, flames, heat, warmth, etc). Coming up w/ideas is hard ><. We had an idea after drinking though, about doing a comedic commercial parodying the “new, best invention” type commercials, where one item makes doing a menial job so much easier (*black and white with announcer over* “Having trouble making those HORRIBLE eggs?” *woman slamming eggs on the pan, everything going everywhere* *everything goes to color and shows new-fangled item* “Use the Eggalator 6000″ – that type of commercial). Anyway, our parody would be something along the lines of “Tired of all hard WALKING everywhere?” with one of us stumbling and crashing into things because walking now has become impossible to do, in black and white of course. I’m sure we’ll think of something amazing to go with it and finally make another skit.
Another thing we’ve been discussing is our show ideas. One that Gavino seems to like a lot is the Movie Brothers. One brother has it all, money, people, time, experience, and the other has the bare minimum, if even that: poor, lonely, inexperienced. They both had a video production studio together, but due to conflicting ideas, they split and decided to go off on their own. They each make movies together still, but each on their own and mix them up afterwards for a final product. It’s a great idea, we thought of some really funny things to do, and I’m sure after collaberation and more brainstorming, we may make it into an interesting show.
The other show idea I had was a show called Blue Screen of Death (I think the name, if anything, was good for a show for us). The show idea would be two video game loving, wanna be video show making friends who, every episode, come up w/some idea for a show, and each ep would showcase them trying to make that show and maybe what the show would look like if they did a pilot. And if I remember correctly, the ending would involve something that would make the screen end up showing a BSoD: didn’t have to be computer involved, maybe start off like that, with someone spilling something on a computer or bumping into the computer, and evolve into silly things like being slapped in the face causing the BSoD to show and end the episode.
Anyway, some ideas we’ve been tossing around, besides other things. I think the main problem now isn’t just coming up with ideas, it’s more along the lines of actually getting some stuff attempted and filmed. Obviously shows like “Roommates” will take more time due to trying to come up with costumes (this one might be explained in another post), but skits should be easier and not require too much out of pocket expenses and additional preparation time.
I still have the idea of doing reviews on my own to just keep myself busy and try to get my name out there, and of course a personal music video cover of some song that I decide to do…one of the “mouth the lyrics as the camera is dragged around places” type of videos. Might use ppl in it, might not. Hoping I can get to work on it soon, as the idea seems like fun. Starting off w/the camera pointing at me and singing, then the camera being dragged away and pointing to me in another part of the room and then the camera moving to a different part of wherever and me appearing again to continue speaking. It’s sort of a lot of editing and making sure I get the camera in the right places (might be hard alone, but I’ll see what I can do).
Anyway, back to watching this weeks potentially awful mega64 podcast, praying for the day of a season 3 announcement. After that, it’s bedtime. I still have to watch Little Nemo – Adventures In Slumberland, tonight? Nah, tomorrow…gotta be then. Get home after work, mow the front lawn, come in, relax and watch the movie. They want to run ZA tomorrow! I don’t want to run it…I do, but I don’t. The more time I stay away from WoW when I’m not raiding, the better.
Night! =D
