Sentinal to a Forgotten World

They rebooted star trek.

2009-05-10T03:00:42Z

.....

It was an action movie with little in common with the original ideas that star trek was beyond the names of the characters.

It wasn't a bad action movie. But it wasn't Star Trek.

Snow?

2008-11-21T16:25:03Z

Snow!

Hrm...

2008-10-21T05:54:01Z

It's 1:53 in the morning, and instead of sleeping I'm writing poetry.

It's not even good poetry, I don't think...

Why can't I sleep?

Okay, so...

I know I've been a little out of touch here in thailand these last four months, and the internet news always tends to be a bit...excitable...

But is the stock market crashing? I'm coming home in two days, I'd really like it if there could be still be an economy when I get there...

God damn bananas

2008-08-12T09:05:51Z

Guess who got a massive intestinal infection from eating a banana and is now in the hospital in Thailand?

Huh.

So, Final fantasy 13 is getting an xbox 360 release along with a PS3.

Quick, everyone pretend to be surprised!

Man, I do not use this journal enough...

Drunk

2008-04-26T18:47:22Z

Drunk.

I am very drunk.

I am trying really hard to type properly but properly ius a really hrad word.

Hard word.

There was tyhis really pretty thai girl in white but I didn't talk to her cause I'm stupid.

Talk is a hard word.

Goodnight';

I'll be Good Fireman, you be Bad Fireman.

2008-03-04T19:01:26Z

So I was talking to one of the few of my coworkers I can actually stand, and he was saying he has a job offer to go be a fireman instead of work here. (He should. Anything is better than here. Except maybe the army. Maybe.)

And we got to talking about how nobody appreciates (or wants to pay) civil servants for the work they do, as opposed to other countries. Fireman and teachers and police and the like. And I was trying to think of a bad word for Fireman, and I realized there wasn't one. So I was like 'I was gonna make an insulting joke but I can't.'

And he went 'that's cause there are no good fireman, bad fireman.' By which he meant, firemen pretty much help whoever happens to be on fire at the time, as opposed to being a bit more selective about what they do.

But what I thought, was more of a 'good cop, bad cop' interogation routine. Which prompted this:

Good Fireman: "Hey there Fire, how ya doin' today?"
Bad Fireman:"Alright Fire, you get yourself out or you and me are gonna have a problem."
Good Fireman:"Hey buddy, relax! Don't mind him, fire. Would you like some gas? Go get him some gas."
Bad Fireman: "Screw the gas! I'm gonna put this bastard out Right Here, Right Now!"
Good Fireman: "Woah, woah there...look, can I talk to you...?"

And so on and so forth. Man, it's a good thing I amuse myself...

Some days are mostly wasted...

2008-03-04T18:01:59Z

On any given day at work, I typically write between five and ten pages of...whatever I'm currently working on, between calls. On a good day, I'll write fifteen, and on a bad day I'll write two.

I have written exactly three words today. I am uncertain where this would fall on the 'graph of failure', as it were.

I bring three seperate notebooks to work, two of which are specific projects and one is random crap that pops into my head. Just in case I have a muse for one or the other...I don't have the attention span to finish any One project, after all.

But there's nothing today. Not a thing. Less than a thing. I'm just...unfocused and tired and itchy (i forgot to shave) and I really, really wanna go home.

But I can't go home...

man, this post is whiny.

Microsoft says I'm not going to get my fixed xbox back until probably the second week of MARCH.

Fucking hell.

The TV is annoying me.

2008-02-12T23:17:56Z

Remember, if you don't vote for Barack Obama, you're a flaming racist who hates black people and should be shot!

Or so the talking heads are implying, anyway...

The made up word of the day.

2008-02-05T15:25:21Z

The word of the day is forntazzle.

Forntazzle: To eye something intently, in a vaguely unseemly fashion.

Sentence! As he walked to the store, Walter forntazzled the pretty lasses.

Use it in a sentence. DO IT!

60 words

free Touch typing

Hrm...apparently my arm and hand injury took more of a toll on my typing speed than I had realized. :(

Need suggestions.

2007-11-07T05:09:18Z

I sort of stopped reading, I'm not sure when or why, but I need to pick it up again. So I'm looking for book suggestions.

We may not have the same tastes, of course, but for the sake of argument, pretend I'd like what you like, and suggest something for me! Worse thing that could happen is I don't read it or like it. :D

I gotta say...

2007-11-06T15:10:41Z

Pakistan scares me a whole lot more than Iraq ever could.

Oh. The word of the day is Phantasmagoria.

Because it is one of my favorites.

The word of the day

2007-11-05T17:40:47Z

The word of the day is Steep. As in, To Steep. Mostly related to some sort of tea/water action your grandmother was a huge fan of.

Use it in a sentence. Points for originality!

Points can be redeemed for nothing.

(I'm bored.)

Woo! Also Hoo!

2007-10-31T17:17:12Z

Guess who's getting a Wii?!

That's right, that bastard over there. The one with the peg leg. I hate that bastard.

Oh, I am totally getting one too. :D It arrives on Friday.

After months of silence, he emerges for but a moment...

2007-10-23T17:25:01Z

My green pen broke. It broke ALL OVER the notes I was writing for a comic.

Now, instead of notes, I have a green blob of ink. Also, instead of skin on my left hand, I have a green blob of ink.

And now I don't have a pen, so I can't keep writing.

I am upset.

Nerding it up.

2007-06-02T21:43:24Z

Total WoW entry, but I now have an epic flying mount! It is green and awesome.

That is all.

I believe in Harvey Dent.

2007-05-21T16:50:38Z

So for the advertizements for the next batman, they've been using the slogan 'I Believe in Harvey Dent.' It's an interesting line, except we've been told that the Batman movie focuses, at least in part, on the Joker.

This is a shame.

I am sure the movie would be awesome, but if they made a film based on The Long Halloween, it would be absolutely amazingly cool. It's the story of Harvey's downfall, from being a hallowed and beloved district attorney to a literal basket case, and it's one of the best Year One batman stories ever written. It takes place over an entire year, and follows the crimes of a mob-killing criminal named Holiday.

The line, however, is uttered by his wife. And is the perfect ending to the story. Man, I'm a nerd, but it would be so cool to see thatturned into a movie somehow.

And now I wanna read it again but I left it at Dee's. *mutter*

Hmm...

2007-03-29T16:03:45Z

Anyone know anything about the Republican senator from Oragon, last name of 'Smith'? He was the only Republican other than Hagel (my favorite republican!) who was brave enough to vote with the dems on the troop withdrawl/budget bill.

I can't believe that actually passed. Bush will veto it, of course, but still...impressive.

Sleep.

2007-03-27T05:09:23Z

I know I never write in here but it's late and I can't sleep. In fact, it's 1:06 in the AM, and I have to be up in four hours and 52 minutes. I probably won't fall asleep till at least 2, to be fair. I do this all the time.

I used t think, well, it's alright, I'll be so tired I'll fall asleep early tomorrow...but that isn't true at all. I'll get a little over four hours of sleep tonight, and I'll Still be up till at least 1 tomorrow. My mother is the same way, she's had a sleep pattern like this for years.

So, I'm wondering, anyone else like this? Living on little sleep? Are you tired a lot? I'm not...I mean, occasionally I get these waves of tiredness, but I'm rarely 'exhausted' as it were. Do some people just need less sleep than others?

You're so busy these days, rearranging your place...

2007-02-05T23:49:00Z

Do you ever get the feeling that you missed some subtle hint about life that everyone else picked up on? Like there's this great, cosmic moment of realization that strikes a person, and when it hit, you were blinking. Or in the bathroom?

Yeah, I feel like that lately.
