Brand Spanking New Digital Camera BABY!!!!! With photo printer.

And, a new fluffy down alternative pillow.

A fuzzy dog stuffed animal.

And a cassette tape thing, that you plug into your MP3 player (or, CD player, laptop, etc.) and it’ll play the songs on your MP3 player (or etc.) through the cassette system. GREAT for my car. I don’t have to burn 093274893274983274927 CDs then!!

Torrent Sites Under Attack

The MPAA filed lawsuits against Torrentspy, Isohunt, Torrentbox, Niteshadow and Bthub. This could have a huge impact on the Bittorrent community since Torrentspy and Isohunt are two of the most frequently visited torrent sites.

Fuck you MPAA. Fuck. You.

Cool Stuff

All right. I feel like telling everyone about cool stuff. So here goes.

An awesomely funny song is “Tru Gangster” by Nice Peter. I just can’t keep a straight face while listening to this song, it really just cracks me up. It’s available free and legally from their website, at http://nicepeter.com just go to their MP3 section. I’m sure you can find it if you try hard enough. (yes, i had to pimp them YET again)

Next, we have a cool movie about the making and history of Linux. It’s called Revolution OS, and it’s really cool. I just saw it, so yay. Just go out and buy it or find it from somewhere (*cough* BitTorrent *cough*). I like Linus Torvalds. He seems really cool.

In yet ANOTHER unrealated category, we have another movie that I automagically found, “Bowling for Columbine” by Micheal Moore. I LURVE Michael Moore. He is AWESOME. And this documentary about gun control and why America has such a high gun-related murder rate and whatnot is SO GOOD. It even has Marilyn Manson and Matt Stone in it, so you’ve GOTTA love it. And, I’m very interested in things related to the Columbine High School tragedy, and the footage in there, as well as the interviews, really interested me.

Then, in a related category, we have another movie, acquired in the same fashion, called “Fahrenheit 9-11″. Yes, another movie by Michael Moore. But seriously, I LURVE this guy and his movies and how he thinks. And anything even remotely Bush-Bashing gets me going. So there we go.

What else…. uh….

That movie “SuperSize Me” from that guy, Morgan Spurlock (I think that’s his name…) is also an awesome movie. I’ve only eaten McDonald’s like 3 times since I’ve first seen that movie about a year and a half ago. Great documentary. We watched it in health class like a week ago. Much coolness.

Anything else….

I will now include a picture of me licking my PSP. And yes, that is an eMac box in the background. And yes, that is what looks like Windows on my PSP. It’s just a background picture though, but it is still much. much coolness.

Top 10 Tuesday: Worst Game Controllers

Some brilliant ideas came out of gaming engineers…

*don’t read on from here if you don’t want to be spoiled about #1*

Okay, when I saw this, I immeadiately thought ‘The Jaguar Controller. That’s the worst. It must be on the list’ because it sucks!! Of course, I didn’t think it would be, so i was reading on, and sure enough, number one is the Jaguar Controller.

Oh, and how does a suck-ass-gamer like myself know anything at all about the Jaguar? My crazy-ass-cousin John has one, and I played it a couple months ago.

OMGSPLOSION a HEAT WAVE!!!!

44 degrees in Schaumburg, Illinois. Plan your vacation accordingly.

And My Gun Goes Ratta-Tat-Tat (Ratta-Tatta-Tat-Tattoo)

..or something.

 

Okay, you guys HAVE TO, i mean HAVE TO listen to this song by a band called Nice Peter. It’s called “Tru Gangster” and guess what, it’s a free and legal download from their website! Hell, I’ll even go get the link for you.  http://www.nicepeter.com/mp3s/Tru%20Gangster.mp3 and if you want to check out the rest of their site, or their other free downloadable songs, here’s the song download page. http://www.nicepeter.com/subpages/mp3s.html

 So yeah, dude, I blame this guy Robbie for getting me fucking hooked on this song. I can’t listen to it with a straight face, it’s just so funny.

So, Things We Know…

I like piercings. And I like being bored.

I blame the whole piercing thing on a google image search and bodymod.org

anyways, the piercing’s looking good. meaning, it hasn’t gotten infected and killed me.

I don’t know why, but I am EXTREMELY proud of this piercing. It’s my favorite of all that I’ve ever done. And I hate that most people would think it’s insane, because I think it’s completely awesome. This’ll probably be the only piercing, however, that I will have that’s in an odd place. The other’s I want are eyebrow, and maybe lip. And that’s it. And perhaps more on my ears, but that’s not much.

 Ahh, now to write a bogus history paper and not do my geometery homework and get a detention, which I already notfied my dad that I’m probably doing that.

 

EDIT: Oh! And Pelican emailed me back. Their method of getting the controller to connect to the receiver worked. Now my wireless PINK PS2 controller works!! Yay!!!!

Okay, you will probably think I have gone retarded…

I pierced myself. Between my boobs. And I have pictures!!! (I found my crappy ass digital camera.

No, no boobie shots for you, pervs!!

But, I will show you a picture.Enjoy the super low-quality and the pimples.

Did it myself, because I was bored, and because I can. And there was a mysterious scar there that needed something to cover it up. Right now it has a safety pin in it, but once it heals, (and i can take it out and put it back it without screaming) I’ll change it to an actual piercing type ring (I have one that should fit this perfectly)
