Comic Day Continues: Get Fuzzy

This has truly been one of my favorites of late. This one is a close second:

Darkness in light

We are the darkness within the light
We are the keepers of the sacred night
Living in shadow to gain second sight
Without the sunset, how can it rise?
What is the truth if there are no lies?
Bore us to death with only one choice
When it’s all said and done we still share one voice
One symbol of love, one story to tell
But can you say it’s Heaven if you’ve never seen Hell?
In light and in darkness we are bound to dwell
A circle within a circle that never shall end
And every enemy you hated was a loving friend
A teacher that you must quickly learn from
Least the lesson be lost and your hate you become
Do not be afraid to fly in the night
You can still feel His love without the sun light
And the stars still do shine in the day!
It has always been that way

There Will Be Brawl: Smash Bros Goes Mafia

Wasn't sure what to expect when I saw this on Kotaku. But after watching it, color me impressed. Apparently it's going to be a series a la Street Fighter the Later Years. This is some mature not-safe-for-work shit, so you've been warned. Kirby at the very end is priceless. [Official Site]

Mercury retrograde .

Hey all, it's your resident astrologer chiming in to tell you all that Mercury is now in retrograde. Let the missunderstanding begin!


From (now and even a little bit yesterday) September 24 to October 15 you can expect people to missunderstand you, phone calls to fail, agreements to be shakey at best, and plenty of bleeding...

Here is a web page which goes into a little more detail about Mercury Retrograde.

Enjoy this song by Bloc Party informing the world at large about the trends associated with Mercury Retrograde. I LOVE the visuals....come on, monkeys in suits? A donkey looking dude making the rounds around the world. Good stuff...good stuff...



My Mercury`s in retrograde

This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what`s forgotten
Try not to worry about what`s being missed

Scars on my shins, scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in the basketball court
John Joe`s in Sydney and he ain`t returning
I`m sitting in Soho trying to stay drunk

In any part of the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You can pick another stranger
And fall in love

Mercury Mercu-Mercury`s in
Mercury`s in retrograde
Mercury Mercu-Mercury`s in
Mercury`s in retrograde

This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what`s forgotten
Try not to worry about what`s being missed

Bleeding gums and v-veins protruding
You try to hate all of your clothes
The Mayor`s in L.A. and she ain`t returning
I`m sleeping with people I don`t even like

In any part of the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You can pick another stranger
And fall in love

When I saw you last night, I wanted to say,
`Run away with me, away from the cynics
That this could be the start of something truly real`
But all that I could say was, `hey`,
Was, `hey`, was, `hey`, was, `hey`

to L.A.

Trapped inside a sleepless dream
Nothing ever what it seems
Clocks ticking, yet still no time
Hoping is the only crime
How long have I been in here?
Emptiness within a tear
Crying out without a sound
My true self just can’t be found
Don’t they see that I’m not there?
Can’t see me with a fixed stare
Lost my love inside of you
There was nothing I could do
Great L.A. redeem my soul!
Feed me smog until I’m whole
Pour your concrete in my heart
So we’ll never be apart
Wake me from this awful dream
You alone know where I’ve been

On the subject of Bacon and Eggs...

Well, not too much on the subject of bacon and eggs considering they're just mentioned once in the very beginning of this video. What video is it? Well, Fallout 3 of course! You see, I porbably wont ever play this game. Part of me likes to fancy that I'll magically have the ability to stop time, spend hourse enjoying it, all on a new PC that I just built with my imaginary monies. But alas, that aint happening.

So, hopefully one member of the cup community gets to indulge their post apocalypse, radiation centric, gun toting fantasies...

Anyways, the following is a video covering the weapons of fallout 3, watch out, many, many, many headshots ahead! Did you see what I did there?



P.S. I'm down for the movies tomorrow too. As long as I can steal some of your alcohols before hand....=) I'm also up for the gym tonight Moose.

Anime Night: The Daughter of Twenty Faces

Part of why I didn't make a real post last week was that I really didn't expect the showing to be any good and figured everyone's time would be better spent checking out a show I already thought was cool. Turns out Macross Frontier was actually decent, so I'll try not to be prejudiced against giant robots in the future. So if you've already watched a couple episodes of Soul Eater you can find torrents for MF here at animesuki.

On to tonight's showing... which has so many alternate titles I'll just call it The Daughter of Twenty Faces. Here's the synopsis from anime-source:

"Chiko, a girl living with her Aunt and Uncle after her parents untimely death, suspects she is slowly being poisoned by them, in order for them to inherit her parents wealth. Her only joy in life, is reading about the escapades of a Master Thief known as 20 Face. A thief who one day comes to her home to steal a famed Ruby. He takes the Ruby, but also takes Chiko at her request... The only truly valuable thing in the house."

Same bat-time 7:00pm, same bat-channel 2040 VLSB. For those not in attendance, search for the title "Nijuu Mensou no Musume" at the anime-source release search.

Quote of yesterday... (or some other time in the recent past)

Michael (my old boss, resident water and climate change economics expert) during a guest lecture on cost benefit analysis:

"With this and 20 cents, you can make a phone call"
(translation: "_______ is useless on its own")

Reminiscent of one of my favorite quotes of his:

"If we had bacon, we could have bacon and eggs, if we had eggs."
(translation: "we don't have squat and it sucks")
