I like livejournal. Posting occasionally is good fun! Well, it's close to fun in any case. Yes, livejournal, you are a great site, I will post in you.
I found out yesterday that Jackson Publick, writer for The Venture Brothers, has a livejournal site. Season Three of The Venture Brothers is out now. I haven't caught it, but I am hoping it is as funny as the last two.
I just ate the most delicious PB&J in the WHOLE world.
Walter, the panther chameleon I bought Ben for Christmas, has transformed into such a beautiful chameleon. His color patterns run from bright red stripes to dark blue stripes and mixtures in between, and his body can be any mixture of lime green to deep blue, with various shades of green and blue in between. He needs a new cage soon, 24 x 24 x 48 (inches) screen cage is in order. Ben and I are moving into a new apartment with our roommate at the end of this month, so I'm thinking of the great ways I can grow large outdoor hibiscus to create a patio habitat for Walter as well. Hibiscus have absolutely beautiful flowers, and they make perfect plants for chameleons.
I couldn't be happier with owning a chameleon. Dogs are equally as needy as small children, and while I absolutely love dogs (much more than I love children), I could never conscientiously commit to owning one unless I had my own house. Chameleons need a decent amount of space and particular conditions, but meeting rainforest-like conditions in Texas is not hard. They are remarkable animals, and generally like to be left alone, with intermittent interaction. Walter climbs on our heads now, it's hilarious. If I can ever manage to get my own house, I would dedicate my garage to chameleons, and get a nice pump spray system and all that good stuff.
I have other ideas for growing plants as well.
I am extremely excited to be vacating this apartment complex. The apartments Ben and I found are so close to many restaurants I would work at, and merely 5 minutes away from school. The biotechnology program is getting me excited about biology again, although dedicating my life from now until age 30 to get a PhD sounds so painful. I know my salary will make up for it, yet I shrink from the thought of being poor for so long! My Dad and Ben's parents pay for us to have a lot of excursions though, so perhaps just waiting it out and seeing a PhD through will be the best thing.
I've been dying to go to Europe, namely Germany. I want to drink some beer! Lots of beer! And maybe stop in Amsterdam and get some delicious greensies, and smuggle some seeds. Hooray for feminization!
Ben and I have not been to any concerts lately. We are going to the Dethklok concert on July 4th because we're suckers for Metalocalypse. I wish Gojira would come again, I had 3 chances to see them and I missed all 3! They are hands down my favorite band of now.
Boosh!
Well, things are super good! I would have gone to Columbia with my dad and brother, but the moving got in the way. I regret not being able to go but there will always be a trip next year. I was hoping for Oktoberfest next year, but who knows if that will happen.
Do you know that there are people in America, quite a few from the looks of it, that truly believe the Earth is only 6000 years old? I mean, come on creationism, your theory was proved wrong 150 years ago, and has never had one bit of corroborating evidence! Damn evangelical tards! Intelligent Design... worst... idea... ever... killing... America... and... brain... cells... whyyyyyyy

I started a nation at nationstates.net. It seems like it might be a haven for board-whores, but my country totally rules. And shit.
Ben's birthday is October 22, which is one day after Chris Bush's birthday, and one day before the Gojira concert we are going to, which i can't wait for.
I re-played Morrowind and beat it and it was an anti-climactic ending and I need to play Oblivion. I NEED TO! But first I need an XBox 360.
Well, school seems to be going well so far, which is verra good.
In any case, I've got to go to bed.

now i have a bob. it's interesting. and fun.

i have to say that i am in love with comedy. man, i love laughing.
i've been coughing for what seems like a month now. i quit smoking cigarettes months and months ago.
i recently heard the band gojira. in my opinion it's really really sweet metal. it sounds very deep and powerful and melodic; they also have very unique rhythms that are super great. haha, super great.
i don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin', but i think unicorns are kick ass.
ben got a trial of the mailed movie rentals from blockbuster so he rented a couple of mystery science theater volumes. the ones with mike nelson. we watched most of one last night which was pretty cool.
uhhhh.... i think that's it for now.
Current music: gojira - flying whales

woooo... well... i got a free laptop. ben's mom works for hp. it's a commercial model, but i don't exactly know what that means as far as the performance of the computer. i won't be able to have many games, but it will allow me to take online classes which means all of that attendance business won't affect me in the next semester of school.
i still don't have much money. it's not that important, just convenient. i guess that's the thing about money.
i do want to be able to go to more concerts though.
i also want to be apprenticed for some craft.
i was just having a conversation with ben and his neighbor about appliances. that is, appliances should be voice-controlled and programmable in such a way that they would open and close instantly on a voice command of choice. this would allow me to yell profanities and accomplish something. i don't know. this all came about because alton brown from the food network show "good eats" had a microwave inside his cabinets but he has to bend over to use it. although i guess his kitchen makes up for that little deficiency by having a chalkboard refrigerator. that seems pretty sweet and useful.
Current music: Gojira - Death of Me

for some reason i keep saying i'm ok with everything that is going on. i don't know why i'd be saying that though. it's like i'm talking to myself via a public journal entry. haha, interesting... and INSANE. AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

this sunday i will be attending the trans siberian orchestra's performance at the toyota center. the commercials for said event have been in the style of a circus or disney-on-ice event with less circus and disney and more guitars and long flowing hair. i'm going with ben, which is a story in itself (to be told later in this post).
i've been playing Final Fantasy XII and it's pretty cool. the targeting system, the battle system, the license system, the gambit system, and the party system are all pretty cool. that's quite a lot of cool. i'm getting ready to leave the first area of the game after almost 12 hours of gameplay, so... i'm excited, impatient, and anxious all at the same time. an interesting combination of feelings.
tonight my car started crapping out in a bad way. i'm upset. my car has lasted well thus far but is not meeting more recent challenges. they have been numerous and retarded, so i guess this was bound to happen. i'm still not very happy about it. it seems like a few minor problems, i just wish it wasn't broken.
ben and i "broke up" a couple of weeks ago. i use quotations because we never actually started or stopped seeing each other. it's pretty ridiculous. not in a bad way. just in a silly way. this entire relationship has been silly and weird. i must like it, but i don't know why. whatever. things will proceed as the universe wills and i'm ok with that.

ahhh... primus. over the mere months that i have been listening to them, they have become my favorite band. as my favorite band, i doubt they will ever be replaced.
that said, i was very disappointed with the concert. don't get me wrong, they played well. in fact, primus is one of the only bands that sounds better live than on cd. les claypool did play his upright bass in one song. but... they only played for an hour and a half. on top of that, they only played a couple of my favorite songs. they didn't play "those damned blue-collar tweekers" or "tommy the cat" or "sgt. baker" or "southbound pachyderm" or much of anything really. tim alexander didn't play a drum solo. i don't know. it was just so hasty and not thorough and not primus. i don't know.
i just learned that they're only touring for about 2 months, which is by no means as extensive as (most) tours generally are, so it could just be something that they didn't really want to do. still.
when they left the first time i was thinking "hey, intermission. another hour left!" and then they came back a minute or so later and i thought "this isn't right" and then they left again and i thought "you're kidding me."
afterwards i went back to ben's place and we watched the dvd from "animals should not act like people" with his roommate and saw videos and random footage of the band. that was interesting because their videos are amazing, especially the video to "mister krinkle", and the members of the band are funny so their home videos are entertaining.
hopefully primus does another tour in the future, and hopefully they make it a good one.
i decided that i don't like gwar enough to justify going to their concert for dye, and i like cursive but i don't want to go to their show.

there had been general douchebaggery taking place at work since jorge had hired this new guy named phil. i was supposed to have to close with him for nearly the entire week, but fortune smiled upon me. he didn't show up for work this weekend, so he got fired.
i keep posting about it, but i keep getting excited. primus is november 3rd! chris informed me that sailing the seas of cheese is not the album they will be playing, and they might not play an entire album at all, so now i'm feeling that whatever may be the case, i just want to see the concert. so... hooray!
nov 1 is fear factory, nov 3 is primus, nov 16 is deftones, nov 21 is cursive, and nov 26 is gwar.... busy month for concerts
since the borat movie comes out nov 3, i'm thinking that ben and i and a few other people with probably partake in a matinee of that before we go to primus

i got them put in my hair around last monday or so. they won't start locking well for at least another week considering how fine and soft my hair is, but even then the battle for sweet locks won't be over. i got a jar of good old canadian knotty boy dread wax, and ben's roommate josh (who has done at least 5 or 6 sets of dreads already) twisted and backcombed and banded them for me.
oh, last week or so ben bought me an early birthday present. very early. he got me a system for my car... and by that i mean a new cd deck and new speakers for the front and back. the deck and the back speakers are pioneer, and the front speakers are infinity. it's pretty nice, and i guess you could say they make me happy (especially considering that i spend many hours a day in my car), but it was weird accepting that kind of a gift from him. still definitely cool.
also in the past few weeks i have acquired new cds:
Primus - Antipop
Primus - Tales from the Punchbowl
Weird Al - Straight Outta Lynwood
Mr. Bungle (i really wanted disco volante, alas, it was not to be found)
Coheed and Cambria - Second Stage Turbine Blade
Mastodon - Blood Mountain
ummm... this coming saturday i'm going to the texas renaissance festival with ben and i think his roommate to meet my friends kristen and ryan and kristina. i'm hoping to ride a camel and enjoy some sweet musical performances. after the fair itself, i believe that ben and josh and i are going to camp with kristina and enjoy a little after-hours entertainment. drum circles and the like.
november 3rd is the primus show, which i am extremely excited about. les claypool is an amazing bassist and musician and there is no way that this concert will be anything less than amazing. almost everyone i know is going, including ben and krysta and kristina and marshall and many of my other friends.
there are rumors that primus plays 2 sets at each show, and that they will be playing one of their albums in chronological order for each tour (as one half of their set). if said rumors are true, this tour will feature "sailing the seas of cheese", which happens to be my favorite primus album. more cause to be even more excited.
Current mood:  happy Current music: Primus - My Friend Fats

primus - november 3rd. fuck yes.
ummm... school, work, ben, etc.
Current music: primus - southbound pachyderm

dude, alan parsons... i swear that the alan parson's project sounds really familiar, and that there should be some reason that i recognize it so vividly, but i can't find a song that stands out in any discography. in any case. alan parsons has a new cd and it's really pretty not bad. in fact, i kind of like it, and i kind of want to buy it. i especially like the new version of the old raven song.
bullshit went down tonight. pure, unadulterated bullshit. i hated it, and now i want to sleep.
*an hour later
i didn't actually get to sleep. but now i am.

everything bad that never happened to me before caught up with me this week. well, not everything. there are worse things that could happen, and this is me fervently hoping that worse things don't.
school started today. i'll have that and work to keep me busy for a while.

augh. so. metal show friday night. i was the last part of gwar, cannibal corpse, trivium, in flames, and as i lay dying. there might have been another one in there, but it kind of blurred together. ben and i had been drinking thursday night, and he had spent friday morning throwing up, so... we were late. but it's ok. it was still fun.
ummm... other stuff too i'm sure.

i finally watched kill bill vol. 1 and 2 last night. it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. it was good, even.
oh, yesterday evening ben found a really nice table in the dumpster behind his apartment. the bottom had a crack going across, but the top was still fine. ben wanted it as a coffee table, so we went to home depot and got some stuff. we fixed the crack. he sawed the legs shorter with a hacksaw. we put the leg ends on, and it became a badass table. good stuff!

There are a few things that I've discovered in the past few months that make me happy to such an extent that I feel like it would not be exaggerating (or retarded) to say that they infuse my soul with rock. Not crack rock though. Just plain rock.
This post is a tribute to those things, mostly because I don't want to forget that I like them so much if I get distracted. They're all so perfect for me.
-Upright Citizens Brigade (you can do anything through a hole in a sheet)
-Martin and Dr. Orloff (made by a couple of the guys from UCB)
-The Venture Brothers (oh, it looks like something breached the hull. super good.)
-Katamari Damacy
-deathmatch in Time Splitters: Future Perfect (and the character that I use, Kypriss)
-Aqua Teen Hunger Force (this shouldn't technically count since I've watched it since the beginning of high school)
-Nintendo DS
-The Perry Bible Fellowship
The upright citizens brigade and the venture brothers are the most important to me. They're so fucking funny. It should be illegal, so then everyone can abuse the comedy in both of them. I don't know. That was dumb. It's like 5 in the morning and I'm hungry and tired. Whatever.

uhhhhhhh... bored. haha. like the caveman from aqua teen. BORED BORED. look at the keys. i don't know.
i love aqua teen hunger force. and the venture brothers. i had no idea that played on adult swim. it's priceless anyway.
dr. orpheus is a necromancer character on the venture brothers and instead of saying that he lost the remote to his tv, he said that the remote "vanished from the material sphere." i like that phrase. it takes out human accountability. i think i will use it from now on.
i totally weigh 130 pounds now. i didn't know if i told anyone that. it's badass. i'm smaller than i have been since middle school. it feels good to be fit.
*the show i've recently been watching is in fact called the venture brothers, not the venture boys.
Current music: the birthday massacre - happy birthday

How had I not played Katamari Damacy before yesterday? I don't know the answer to that, but I like it a lot.

I didn't remember posting an entry as recently as two weeks ago. Man.
Today I ate Mexican food for a dual breakfast and dinner, I turned every piece of furniture in my house over in search of my Nintendo DS, I went to Wal-Mart to buy the new Super Mario Brothers game (since I did finally find my DS) only to learn that Wal-Mart was too disorganized to function, and then I hung out with Krysta until 1:30 am or so.
Things didn't really come up Christen tonight, but that's allright.
Tonight is the first night that I haven't stayed over at Ben's apartment in at least 2 weeks. I think it's pretty funny. I completely misjudged Ben, his intentions, and the expected duration of this "relationship". We've been seeing each other for almost 6 months, but it all seems so casual and brief. I don't know. It's really weird. I do love how unexpected all of this was, though. Two and a half months ago I didn't even want it to continue, but now we can barely fall asleep without each other. Life is so bizarre.
In the song "Renegade" right after the second slow-singing part and right before the song picks up, someone in the band yells "YEAH!!!" loudly and with enthusiasm. It was really funny to me, because I never noticed it before. Marshall pointed it out, and Krysta and Michael Peck and I all listened to it after Denny's one night a little while back.
Ummm... I think that's it.
Current music: Styx - Renegade
