Hello, again, dear friend and/or past lover of mine. It's been a few weeks since I typed one of these thingamawhatzits. Since the last one, I had a job interview for a quality assurance position at a software company. He didn't ask many questions as he seemed new to giving interviews. Instead, we talked about the size of buttons and how to press clovers if you have a tight budget. Maybe he knew he wasn't going to hire me, though. I dressed well; I wore a tuxedo. Perhaps he didn't appreciate the fact that I am so dedicated to looking my best that I painted it on my beautifully naked body. Oh well, I hope I get a job soon.
As a side note; I am sick of buying toilet paper, passing a bowel movement, wiping my butthole, then flushing the toilet paper and fecal matter down the toilet. They should invent toilet paper with poo already on it so you can skip the middle part and just go straight to flushing it down the toilet. You can make a fortune off an idea like that!
I also got digital TV or whatever it's called. You get perfect picture, a digital video recording contraption, HD channels, and a bunch of other nonsense and gizmotrons. It's pretty neat. Also, when someone telephones me on my nine dollar telephoning unit that I purchased at Wal-Mart 7 years prior, it says who's calling on the television monitor. Ain't that the cat's pajamas?
The new Chemical Brothers album Further came out today. I got the deluxe edition with a DVD and book. I listened to the album and it is amazing. Their best album for sure. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but I will some time. Another World is my favourite track on it so far, but that might change in the future. I love this album.
I purchased three stand-up comedy DVDs. Bigger And Blackerer by David Cross is very funny and it makes me happy to see new stuff from him. Besides short performances on Comedy Death-Ray and The Comedians Of Comedy, it's been like six years since his last recorded performance. Hilarious DVD. Definitely check it out even if you're new to his brand of fart jokes. I also got Maria Bamford's Plan B which is very funny, but it's more of a one-woman show than it is stand-up. It's interesting for fans, though, because they can see where a lot of her material comes from. Finally, Lewis Black's Stark Raving Black is also great. I find this to be his best performance yet. It also comes with a full documentary about him which is interesting.
As for video games, I've been playing a lot of 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's very addicting for me since it plays like the games I played growing up. It's mainly like the original Legend of Zelda but has references to other great NES games such as Dragon Warrior. I've also been playing a bumload of Mega Man Zero Collection. It plays much better on the DS than on the GBA since the DS has four buttons as opposed to two on the GBA. This makes a huge difference as it is much simpler to play. What amazing games! I think playing through all four games on it will take me a very long time. I downloaded Gundemonium Recollection, GundeadliGne, and Hitogata Happa in a bundle off the Playstation store. They're great 2D scrolling shooters but they're very different and difficult and it takes me a while to get good at them. I also downloaded Joe Danger which is a difficult but super fun arcade-style daredevil game and Voodoo Dice which is a tricky dice rolling puzzle game. Both are pretty cool.
In my near future, I'll apply for more jobs and lower my standards a bit so I can raise the odds of getting one. Who knows, maybe I can be a math professor. No... I shouldn't lower my standards that much. Anyway, goodbye. You will always be close to my heart, you cute little furry albino midget.

Go to my facebook page and be my friend! If I like your face or your book, I just might add you. Probably not, though. But why not give it a shot?

Hey, check it out. I have a blog now! Maybe in a few years I'll have a MySpace account. Then the kids will think I'm cool. Anyhoo, I redid parts of my site. I renamed my blog which wasn't really a blog to articles since that's what it is; a collection of articles. I also removed the functionality to comment on things because it wasn't working very well and I'm currently trying to find a better way to do it. Also, each header has a small link you can click on if you would like to link to that particular item. Enough with this boring stuff about my website, let me write some boring stuff about me.
I've been watching a lot of Murdoch Mysteries with the wife lately. Did I mention I'm 93 years old? It's a pretty cool show. I like mystery / detective shows. This one takes place in Toronto around the year 1900 so they don't have much technology. It's very funny, too! In this one episode we just watched, a gangster from 2005 New York City named "Payne In Da Butthole" travels back in time to "kick it old school" with Murdoch. He shows Murdoch how to make a crack pipe out of an apple and a few cranberries and they become best friends. Who knew a time paradox would soon tear them away from each other. At least Murdoch has the crack withdrawal shivers to remind him of the good times. What a delightfully wonderful olde thymey programme!
There have been a few video games on my television lately, too. I got Planet Minigolf yesterday and am having a lot of fun with it. A lot of the holes are very frustrating, but that only makes the game more fun. It's great to play online as well. I've also been playing Soldner-X 2 on and off because it's a great game, but hard to play too much of it in a row. It's seriously one of the best 2D shooters I have ever played. I'm also playing Scene It? for Playstation 3 with my wife. It's pretty fun but you can tell they rushed it since it's not very polished and there are no online modes at all. Oh, another game I'm really in to is Wario: Master of Disguise for DS. I'm almost finished it and I find it's a very addicting platforming game. I really enjoy it. Meanwhile, my Wii and Xbox 360 have been very lonely lately.
I watched about 5 minutes of America's Got Talent last night and couldn't even comprehend how awful it is. If I'm not retarded, the title of the show would lead you to believe it was a talent show. You would think the show would consist of people on stage performing their talent and then judges judge them. However, the creators of the show feel it's necessary to not only do that but to show people's life stories, interview them, show them backstage... and the most useless and distracting thing I have ever seen on television; keep cutting away from the talent performances to show the host's reactions backstage. I don't know who Nick Cannon is, nor do I care. Therefore, I really don't want to see him go, "Oh, snap!" right in the middle of someone's performance. Talk about making a mildly entertaining show unwatchable.
Anyway, my short term plans for the near future; recover from being sick, mix some music (perhaps...), apply for more jobs, and have a good time. That's all for today. I love you. Bye.
