Let's talk Nintendo games and Fresh Prince. I'm in case 3 of Phoenix Wright: Justice for All. It takes place in a circus, and I just experienced one of Moe of the Clown's more random outbursts. Meanwhile in Mario Kart, whenever I put Toad in the kart I renamed the Mini Pimpin' Buick (and not the Cheep Cheep kart pictured), he does this head bopping gesture that reminds me of Baby Sinclair. I know there's a YTMND of that same clip set to the theme from Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
There's an app that lets you build crappy little cities on Facebook. Mine is called Latveria, and its description is: "Bah, Doom will not describe his city in order to win your petty approval!". It's actually a lovely place; our culture is lacking, but we have good science (Doombot research), workforce (building Doombots), and safety (enforced by Doombots).
ninjadebugger reviews books, from roleplaying books to actual novels. The guy actually has some really good insight on things. Also, I comically walk into things I shouldn't, as I found a page with at least a gig of books. It's kind of out of date though, but good for catching up on classics like the Complete series.

To briefly recap the events of my weekend, my birthday began when I received not one but two birthday cards from Luke. The first was one of those musical cards that played the Star Wars theme that was picked for the music rather than the content. The second was hand-drawn and colored and strangely touching. I was practically welling with tears when I called the little guy, but he couldn't be bothered because he was playing X-Box. I now see why this frustrates the hell out of his great-aunt. I had a half day of work on Friday before my parents and I went to Ruby Tuesdays to spend the free dessert coupon they sent us. I spent the night playing video games with Matt and Will. On Saturday Will threw a party at his house where Matt and I achieved one our life's goals and ordered a Chik Fil A nugget tray. When we went to pick it up the girl working at the register thought she knew someone with my last name and asked if I had a child that went to her high school. I'm not going to go into detail about the party, but I was extremely close to needing to say "Obvious Troll is Obvious" to one of the adults. I'm looking at the June 7th one with a bit of dread now. Finally on Sunday I went to Niki's where I saw her and Angie.
Gift recount:
two three belated ones. Matt, I challenge you to find the obvious contradiction in one of them.

Hey Matt, what has two thumbs and is wishing you a happy birthday?

This guy! Happy birthday!

This guy! Happy birthday!

This post exists largely to put off studying for Principles of Searching. As such it might be the longest one I've ever written.
I'm on an Angel kick again. I'm going to blame it on events that happened a few weeks ago causing me to listen to Once More with Feeling again leading me back to the series by way of Spike. Either that or the fact the Angel soundtrack Live Fast, Die Never has the song Touched by VAST which seems to be a recurring thing. I gave my craptacular Myspace a shadowy urban feel, and my theme song is the Sanctuary Extended Remix of the Angel theme. I just need a good background. My Facebook status is even based off Joss Whedon and Alex Denisof's made-up lyrics to the Angel theme song. I'm just proud I haven't made a new Wes icon. I've never understood that one. You'd think I'd like Spike, the snarky 'other' vampire with a soul who likes kicking things in the face, over the emotionally messed up nerd who
fandomsecrets reminded me is a creepy stalker--or they would if I ever posted something there which I most certainly have not.
I think my biggest flaw as an "Internet person" is my complete inability to write "about me" profiles. My LJ profile is horribly outdated and my Myspace and Facebook "about me" sections are blank. I've been told that's my biggest drawback on those online dating sites because I don't really present myself as a unique or even interesting individual. My other weakness is using actual pictures of myself.
So I noticed something strange the other day. The three women that I probably would have dated if not for the intervention of other boys are now all in relationships with guys named Kevin. After a little bit of Googling, I discovered that while it's a popular name, Kevin ranks twenty-third on the list of most popular first names as per the 1990 U.S. Census, and is possessed by 0.671 percent of the population. I'm trying to figure out what the odds of three unrelated people all being named Kevin are. Know how to do that math people? Also, "Kevin" is apparently an Irish name that means "Gentle Birth". Bitch please, my name comes from a wandering badass eighteen-foot-tall giant who they tried and failed to execute multiple times.
I got the chance to play Super Smash Brothers Brawl at Will's house for hours on end until I got massive headaches. ( I think Kim gave us brain damage with whatever she sprayed, so my snark-o-meter may be off. )
Later that same day, Will and I made some progress on our characters for Super-Fight-A-Thon, but Cricket let us in on an interesting tidbit of information. Apparently, this whole thing is more or less the equivalent of the shooting contest from Robin Hood. That is, it's largely an excuse for Dean to try to find a way to best Will and I in tactical combat. I feel like this is an enormous Blackleaf joke waiting to happen. I mean, if this is all for Dean to show us how awesome he is, why are we going through all this rigmarole!? I mean, he can't keep his mouth shut with regards to details, so why all this crap over the big picture? Why not just say, "Hey let's make dudes and fight"? Will, Sean1, and I have done it before, and it came off as a good time and not some creepy vendetta. Why must we waste Mrs. Lewis and Tersha and Jimosh's afternoon? So he has backup? All he proves then is that eight Dungeons and Dragons characters can beat up two of the same level. And what the hell was up with Cricket pointing out that Will and I stand out because we're the only white hats? Nothing adds up anymore. While it's strangely flattering that he either respects our intelligence or simply views us as a threat to his alpha dog status, it's days like these that raise a sense of paranoia in me that everyone else is there because they love each other so huggy-muggy much and I'm just the hired mercenary goon who gets to stick around if only for his character optimization skills until he gets replaced by a guy named Kevin. How pathetic does that make my post-college existence? Then again, this is Cricket and foresight; if the fight were any closer to May my Cricket-to-English translator would suggest that it's really just a guise to throw a surprise birthday party for Will and we'll be met with cake.

STEP ONE) put your music on random
STEP B) post the first lyric or your favorite lyric of a lot of songs
STEP III) make the peons who read your journal guess the songs WITHOUT CHEATING
( Music thingy from Kelly, answer some before Matt calls everything! )

( I bought Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney for the Nintendo DS. ) It's a lot of fun though. Don't believe me? I bet this out-of-context quote will persuade you:
Dean's Easter break supergame is coming up. 20th level and all fighters... good lord it's going to take forever to do anything! I need to figure out what kind of character I'm making for that.
"All sorts of things come out of my panties... even the truth!"In real life news, Friday was the Leap Day Party. Laura and Joe did an amazing job. I had three (four?) cordial glasses worth of sake and two of plum wine and way too many dumplings and sashimi so I was kinda groggy for the second half. We tried watching Howl's Moving Castle (starring Billy Crystal as fire and Crispin Freeman as Sir-Not-Speaking-In-This-Film) and learning Go. Neither really worked out. It still was a great time though. Saturday I went to Tersha's with Will. We went to the diner she's working at now, played Rock Band, and watched the Family Guy Star Wars special.
