Nuraaaaaahhh!!! Hulk Smash!!!

Okay, so, there is nothing like having to work an opening shift after not sleeping well. Compile that with having to fix all the errors, problems, and mistakes, and yes, I know all three of those can equal the same thing. Simply put, today was a MONDAY!!! It didn't help that it was also, actually, a MONDAY!!! Good news is that the shift today was short. I read a nice book and most of a second one.

Okay, so, now it's time to fill in what I've been up to for the previous week because I totally didn't post anything since the 19th.


Sorry. So, first off, I came up with an idea for a screenplay (a.k.a. movie script) about a man who's body is literally a cage that captures demons. But wait, there is more: A vampire comes to town and begins turning people into lesserpires (that's my fan-nickname for them). This main vampire is going to be very similar to Bram Stoker's Dracula. And, there is going to be a sentient zombie who helps the main character against the vampires. I want to mix satire with action and comedy. Today, I start writing the script. Maybe it'll become a movie in a couple of years. That would be badass.

Okay, next up: I've read quite a few books. Various stuff like Clive Cussler's Medusa. Bottom line on this book, it was okay. Not as good as his earlier works. I also started re-reading the Star Wars novels, The New Jedi Order. Which is super badass. To summarize the plot, extra-galactic aliens enter the Star Wars Galaxy, and they cannot be felt through the force. They use living technology to battle the New Republic, and the Jedi find themselves wondering if the dark side is truly evil, because the light side is almost completely ineffective to the aliens, the Yuuzhan Vong.

I also have been playing a ton of Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs Capcom 3. Yeah yeah, more video games. I just can't help myself. I need to get out more.

Anyways, now the part of awesomeness. The music for today! First off, my friend Brian posted a video to a band called Two Steps from Hell. The guys who make this music usual write either the music to trailers or the actual music scores to movies. Here is a delicious tasty treat. United we stand, Divided we fall!

Next up, Blotted Science. These guys are a bit proggy. And it's also an instrumental. So, enjoy it. The Insomniac.

And I'm all out of Bubblegum!

First off, I'd like to say sorry about not posting in about a week. I had lost my soul for a while playing Fallout 3. Fawkes and I had to run through the streets after Liberty Prime to stop the Enclave. Now that the future has been saved, I have returned to now to continue my usual shenanigans.

So let me start off with a book review...or two. Yeah, I read two more books while at work. First off, Salem's Lot by Stephen King. Over all, it was okay. Maybe I just don't find his books to be scary, or down right amazing. The only book that completely blew me away that he wrote was the book Insomnia. Anyhoo, Salem's Lot is about a small town called Jerusalem's Lot, and how a vampire comes to the town and begins turning everybody into vampires. Barlow is a standard classical vampire, very very similar to Bram Stoker's Dracula. Pretty much everybody dies in the story except for three of the main characters. Oh yeah, spoiler alert, whoops.

The other book I read was yet another Dresden Files book. This was book 8, Proven Guilty. This book is about how creatures called Phobophages are attacking random people at a horror movie convention by transforming themselves into those horror movie monsters. And Harry has been tasked to find out who has been using black magic in the city before its too late...but when he finds out exactly who it is that is using black magic, he must do everything in his power to save her...Yeah, the book is pretty badass and a nice followup to book 7.

So, after I beat Fallout Three, I really wanted to go play The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. However...I couldn't find the game. I was going insane because the game is a like a drug. If you haven't played Oblivion, then you don't know how damn addictive the game is. But I found it today. So it is possible that I'll lose my soul for a while again. So I'm gonna make this blog post pretty long to make it fair.

Music NEWS!!!!! So, I joined my brother Dan in going to Soundgarden, the store, not the band. It's this huge music store that imports a lot of music. It's in Syracuse, so if you're ever out there, you should go check it out. Anyways, I purchased the new Leprous album because I've been a huge fan of these guys for like, three maybe four years. So, without further adieu, here is a song from the new album: Cryptogenic Desires.

The band is a bit unusual but I think its really original and creative. But the album cover is really really bizarre and I can't explain it.

One final thing. The artwork for the main character in my comic, Lands of Chaos, is finished. Here you go. Check him out, Goza Minos.




FYI, aliens did it.




Well, I'm out of time for now.
