A Big Ass Roundup of Crap

Wow, I completely forgot to update yesterday.

Not because I was particularly busy, I was just so intent on other things that it completely slipped my mind. I did finally go thrift storing, though, yay! Got some new shirts, a gorgeous pink knitted poncho, and found the original Broadway Hair recording on vinyl for a quarter. No scratches on the record at all. I was a happy camper!

I did something horrible to my shoulder, but it's finally starting to feel better today. We found one of those wooden massage ball things, and [livejournal.com profile] nijawial went to work on me with it. My god, that thing is amazing. I practically melted into the floor.

I am finally reading the Dark Tower series. I know, I know, I'm a terrible person for not reading it before. I've read part of the first book before - a very, very long time ago, to the point that on re-reading it I don't remember anything - and one of the short stories that Stephen King did for Legends. But that's it. So I dug up my illustrated copy of The Gunslinger and got started.

Why haven't I read this before?

Been playing RE5, I think we're almost done with it. We switched off characters, and I got to play as Chris while [livejournal.com profile] enigmablade played as Sheva. I must admit, I have quite the growing affection for her. She kicks ass, she's gorgeous, and she's tough. And much, much more agile than Chris. The man is a tank.

My birthday is looming. All I really want is the vinyl release of the Venture Bros soundtrack.

Seth Green is joining the cast of Venture Bros in season 4. This pleases me greatly. Not to mention a season 3 Blu-Ray release. Not that I have a Blu-Ray player, but this is a very good sign of how invested AS is in the series. It's the first ever Blu-Ray release from AS. They wouldn't spend the cash on any of their other DVD releases, but they'll do it for Venture Bros. And now I'm really vibrating in my seat over season 4, both excitedly and nervously. Please let it be that we can't believe it because it's not true, Doc Hammer, please.

Also, oh crap, season 3 comes out Tuesday! Need monies for it! And it's actually going to be uncensored. I'm...not sure how I feel about that.

Today I'm going to clean the house. It's long overdue. I've got coffee going, dishes drying, and it's a beautiful day.

Go Team Venture!

Aw, thank you! I have no doubt I will, you always know my tastes. :D

(And I wouldn't worry, birthday presents these days are a rarity for me.)

You're welome! It was ordered today, should be shipping next week, between the 23-25th, and arrival shortly after.

GAH! I cannot keep a secret. We got you Homecoming for the 360. So you should prolly remove that blip up there in your entry^^

You're welcome! I had been planning on getting that for you for Christmas, but I've been slowly watching the price drop, and wanted to make sure you got it for your birthday this time. So yeah, you better get me something good for mine! j/k j/k

You can just write me that CM/HP crossover instead :)

IT IS FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT! I was just brainstorming for that the other night with Andrea, after we watched this week's CM!

YAY! Can't wait!

Well, crap. There went my gift idea. XD

I'm sorry! :(

Maybe you should just get Fey the vinyl^^

Hahahaha I'm sorry!

Yay for coffee and dishes!

I hope you really enjoy the Venture Brothers release.

INDEED! And I got trash out and organized my bookshelf! Huzzah!

Oh, I will. Third season is so far the best season, and I've been anxiously awaiting the DVD release for months. It's going to be really weird seeing it uncensored, though. The first two DVDs, they were still censored, just to be funny. The hard swearing and whatnot was all cut out, which really was funny.

Okay, so I played the Resident Evil 5 demo again. I have to admit, the RE4 controls are a lot better. I'm still wondering why they had to switch the buttons for picking up items and running; I guess they just wanted to change things up. I have to admit I'm getting used to the shoulder button controls; I was playing Resident Evil 4, and I keep pressing the back left trigger to aim instead of the front one. ;)

The sledgehammer man is brutal in the way he kills you. I tried several times to kill him, but I couldn't pull it off.

I find it interesting the way they pulled out the flying B.O.W.s right away, as if to say, "No, this isn't a group of ethnic people running around savagely because we're discriminating against them. There are other bio-weapons here and these are just part of them." ;D Seriously, I don't mean to make light of the situation or anything, but it looks like the bad press got to them and they felt compelled to remind us this is all one big experiment on the part of a sinister corporation right from the demo, even though most of us already knew that.

Is there a reason Chris is so strong in this one, or has he just been pumping up with his new unit? His punch is like Wesker's, except the enemy is still there instead of disintegrating on impact!

I've been playing Resident Evil 4 on Pro difficulty, and I had forgotten how hard it is. I had forgotten how difficult it can be when you're relying on normal weapons instead of blowing everything away with the Chicago typewriter or Magnum. >_>
