Saturday, Saturday, S-s-s-s-saturday!

Saturday now has two things I always try to catch on the ol' tube. MST3K, and Adult Swim. Problem is, they're on polar opposite ends of the day. So for much of both of them, I'm not fully alert. Fooha. On Adult Swim, I've now caught Jet Black's voice on Cowboy Bebop (of course), Outlaw Star, and tonight Gundam 0083. If he can find a way to squeeze himself into Pilot Candidate, that'd make a nice row of 4. Tetris Attack clone: So little so as to not count. The option for changin how high the initial random blocks start, and a few additions to If statements to lessen errors before play begins. Unsuccessfully searched for a good, standard file navigation/selection system, so I don't have to copy over the combination of drive list, directory list, and file list controls that I've used in my Peat and resampling programs. After getting so used to Samba de Inappropriate, listening to the song normally sounds very slow. Why did Leonard Nimoy sing? Shatner managed to break through the glass floor into that sort of level of cool, but Nimoy is just... Nimoy. He's much more suited to Seaman. Got IE6. Thus far, only noticeable difference the icons that turn up on pictures sometimes. Whee. Finished the first book in Illuminatus! Entertainment, confusion, a real head trip. Just what I was looking for. Pete of <a>Sluggy Freelance</a> beginning his first (planned) lengthy break from strip: 4 weeks-ish. Rest up, gov! Square/Nintendo seems 50% more believable today. More adjustment needed, though. Haiku time. Who would've thunk it? Square. GameCube. Unlimited? It has been too long. Leprosy > Win ME system resource management As opposed to an on/off switch, seems like the folks at <a>Portable Monopoly</a> will be including a dial. Being an options man, analog choice as opposed to digital seems a positive thing, though I have to wonder when I'll use 1/3 lit screen. Wacky Iron Chef PA quote of the day. "I don't sing scat, and if you mean that shit-eating thing I don't do that either." - Iron Chef NERV, 111:36 Rogue Leader: Silver on Triumph of the Empire.

-</h2> MST3K tomorrow: Hobgoblins. Finally, epic rake battles and furry puppets together. Tetris Attack clone: Nothing today. Too much other stuff. Tough math test. Then my grandma's in quite a bit of pain; she's been having some sort of mouth pain for quite a long time, though it's come and gone. They haven't really traced its real cause down. Her current pills weren't doing any good today. As it so happened, my mom hadn't been feeling too well today either and was off work, so she came over as well. Made some calls and went and picked up some different medication for Grandma, as well as a couple pizzas. Last before we left, she did seem better off than earlier in the day, though that's not necessarily saying much overall. Also in there I made another batch of cookies like the ones I mentioned 10-ish days ago. The experimentation continues: I included more flour, some oatmeal, and chilled the end mixture for a while; all efforts to try to make the things more solid. However, they didn't make much of a difference and they still got pretty flat. However, as I was prepared this time I put fewer and smaller on a sheet at a time. Then I come home, and watch two movies my dad rented: <br><a>[http://us.imdb.com/Title?0251075 Evolution]</a><br> One-dimensional characters and a tad of product placement. Not excellent, but a reminder that there exists categories beyond that of Nerds IV. Between movies saw a Comedy Central stand up thing. Bob Regan or something like that. Maybe I just haven't seen standup in a while, but I found him quite quite entertaining, and as my dad noticed, was part of that rare breed who aren't liberally *bleep*ed.

-<p><a>[http://us.imdb.com/Title?0255798 The Animal]</a><br> Standard Happy Madison fare, but this time with Selphie, and slightly more than usual animal sex jokes. I must say I was a bit proud of my brother for making the necessary calls that I don't always externalize. He'd toss out a &quot;Product placement!&quot;, quick gag about the General Lee, or whatever during the above two flicks. Rogue Leader: Finally got that homing concussion missile thingy! Indeed, does make Slave 1 suck slightly less ass; it still went down quick on Razor, but took 80 enemies with it in that 90 seconds. It also aided the Tie Advanced, getting me a Bronze in Triumph of the Empire, and upping my rank to Commander. Super Mario World: Began game. I think I can say with some confidence that I have not lost my MAD SKILLZ. Granted, it was only the first world I played tonight, but I only went through each stage once, no lives lost, all dragon coins, never lost my first Yoshi (though we were temporarily separated a few times), and had 19 lives when all was said and done. Stages-complete number shown at title screen: 6. <nowiki><nowiki>*reads IGNCube*</nowiki></nowiki> HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHITTING SHITNESS!

Teeters: You're right. It wouldn't. So I'm a nerd and loser and get worked up over what would seem to most in the world an insignificant thing. But I'll own up to who I am: my eyes are leaking and the joy is expressing itself as a near-but-not-quite-vomiting sensation. Sure, it's only the tangent FF Unlimited series that seems a sure thing right now, but dammit, its exciting stuff!
