i am a wuss

hey, remember that fight i challenged N. to? well, it's not gonna happen. you want to know why? because i'm a huge pussy. that's right. i can talk the talk, but good Lord, cannot i not walk the walk. i can (and often do) just talk up a storm about how badass i am, but really, who am i kidding? you must all be asking yourself, "is this some kind of joke?" no. everytime i think about N.'s fighting prowess, i shit my pants. no, i literally shit my pants. so, in recap, there will be no big fight on Memorial Day weekend.

in unrelated news, the laundry lady is annoyed at me.

Kings of Chaos

if you guys could just hit that link over there that says Join my Army! about once a day, once every computer, you'd be helping me immensely. that's all you do. just click it once, and then click okay on the new webpage and you're done. it doesn't ask for may information, it just adds one person to my army on this online script game that i'm on. thanks.

Kingdom Hearts

i have finally beaten it. whoo! the only things remaining are the secret bosses. i will, at the very least, take Sephiroth down.

also, there was a very strange FMV after the credits. i have sent an inquiry to OPM about it via email. if there is a response, i shall post both inquiry and answer here later.

i know many of you dislike video games, but if you just gave them a chance. well, regardless, N. i would like to hear your views on this strange FMV (that is, if you have seen it. i'm not sure this is one of the games you have watched your friends play.)

'Ying xiong (Hero)'

so, i finally watched 'Hero' with Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, and Ziyi Zhang. was not very impressed. hey, it was pretty and had an okay plot, but that's it. others will have you believe it was the best movie of 2002, but this is just because others' opinions have been skewered by the female cast members.
plus, i didn't really need the same story told three different times by two different guys. differences in subsequent retellings of stories wasn't a theme in the movie, nor was the difficulty of retelling history. i was confused as to why this story needed to be told three different ways.
but the fight scenes were great (really the only saving grace).

and i very much wanted a golf-colored episode.

games

because of my get-together this Saturday (involving card and board games) the game of Diplomacy was brought up again. i really want to play again, but there are certain parties who think i may not be mature enough to play (plus, these certain parties will be Austria again because these certain parties are always Austria, but that's neither here nor there). i think i'll be able to behave myself. i promise. if i do get out of line, we can stop the game, or i can simply bow out and let everyone else play, but i want to be given the chance because this sounds like a really cool game.

in the immortal word of Roger Rabbit, "pleeeeeeeeeeze?"
