Listening to: Die Another Day by Madonna


First and foremost: I finished Devil May Cry last night. It's a good game. They could have done sooooo much more with it plot-wise, though. Like, they could have added a lot more depth about Dante's family, especially his father and brother, who were barely more than mentioned. Also, Trish really didn't have any character development. Sure, she was created by Mundus to be an exact image of Dante's mother to fuck with him, and therefore has the exact appearance and personality of his mother (basically IS his mother, for all intents and purposes), but beyond that we don't really know much. She had an awesome outfit, though. Also, it would have been much cooler if they had named her Beatrice instead of Trish. You know, continuing the whole Divine Comedy thing the game has going on with Dante and Vergil (for you heathens who haven't read that book, here's a uber-quick synapsis: Dante is the author, and the main character of the book. It was written as a rather scathing commentary on the state of affairs in the city of Florence, Italy in the 1500s. Vergil is classical Greek author who wrote the Aeniad. In the book, he appears to Dante at the beginning of Hell and leads him through the seven layers of it. Vergil cannot leave hell, so after Dante finds his way out a girl named Beatrice shows Dante to Paradiso, or Heaven. See? It would have been cool if they named her that. And that so just used my daily quota of smart).
Dante had plenty of character development, though, which was nice. n__n It wasn't all explained or spoken, but easily visible in the wide range of emotions that he conveyed; he laughed, cried, was happy, afraid, bratty, arrogant, sympathetic, compassionate... really an amazing range. I just really, really wish they would have added more stuff about his past and family. Some of the dialogue was kind of... bad. It even had the occasional engrish moment. O__o The graphics and environments were awesome, though. Great use of color and lighting. Hell was gross. All the pulsing vein things made me want to barf on my controller. But overall, I felt content and satisfied at the end of the game- things were wrapped up nicely, and there were lots of cut scenes of Dante being hot. Oh yes, I am in love with Dante at the moment. Now I am presented with a conundrum: should I obtain a copy of DMC2 and play that while I'm in the mood, or get my hands on FFX (Riiiiichaaaaard can I borrow it?) and play that first? I'm thinking DMC2 first, because it's WAY shorter. And I want to see more Dante. Did I mention that he's hot? Decisions decisions.

Bowf. Now I kind of want to read the Divine Comedy again. And I want Final Fantasy Origins. FFI > other RPGs. It'll be cute with 16 bit graphics, and the FMV screen shots I've seen so far are way sexy. =D It's tricky to rock a rhyme!

Listening to: Cleanin Out My Closet by Eminem


So today I registered for classes. Christ this quarter went by fast. O__o Next quarter I'm taking Fundamentals of Design, Intermediate Japanese, Multimedia Authoring Tools and Visual Basic. No more lame, make-me-stupider foundation courses. Woo hoo! All stuff for either my major or minors.

And check what I bought on eBay! Devil May Cry necklace! =D It's not that exact one, but it's exactly like it. Aaaand it has to come from Japan. International shipping is revolting.

Wow, it says I'm an idiot. I don't know how I feel about that. u_u

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Gauntlet is so freaking cool. Must... get... NES... working...

No need to feel so lonely- everyone's addicted to bass. ;D

Listening to: Fake Wings by Yuki Kajiura


Yesterday I finally cahsed the $40 money order that Kevin sent me like... forever ago. This meant I had $40 of extra cash, which could only mean three things:

A) Cute clothes
2) Cute accessories
D) Cute arcade games. BEMANI

The shirt I bought is delightfully tasteless. XDDD It's an orange baby tee with blue trim, and on the front is a picture of the outline of a girl (like the bathroom symbol), and it's holding hands with two of the guy outlines, so it's like a girl with two guys. Underneath the image it says PERFECT. And it's sparkly. I think whoever made that shirt must have secretly probed my mind. I also bought a leather wrist cuff thingy with small, mostly flat metal studs. It's not one of those huge tacky punk ones with like 10 inch spines because those are stupid. AND it's small enough that it doesn't slide all over my arm like most bracelets do because I have the tiniest wrists ever. They finally got the other 7th mix up and running, but the entire set of speakers on the right side wasn't working. =\ Lamezor. Hopefully that'll be fixed by this weekend, when James and I return. We are DDR ninjas. Master mode on Gitaroo Man kicks my ass as of now. I can get to like, the second level. u_u

Some quotes:
"Brand new babies smell like candy." -one of my professors. I have no recollection of what context there was for that. Somehow, I doubt there was one.
"Nice...... pants!" -Becca, shortly after our higher brain functions had short-circuited from watching an extremely sexy DMC2 commercial.

THE NO LIFE QUEEN STRIKES AGAIN!

Listening to: Lollipop by Aqua


COME WITH ME HONEY I'M YOUR SWEET SUGAR CANDY MAN!
HOTTTTTTTTT
*creams pants*

Mkthx. Now that we have that out of our system, let's move on.
Becca and Andrew hooked up last night! It was so cute! XDDD I'm so happy for them, and I think their relationship will be very good.
I really need to learn how to use Flash and Premiere. I crack myself up and have WAY too much free time. That combination of things will lead to some very interesting creations, no doubt. Read: TOIT like a TOIGER and I am the candy man. Be afraid.

I spent this past weekend in reclusive solitude, for the most part. My room mate was out of town for the weekend, so I had the room to myself which was really nice. My room mate's an awesome gal and we get a long really well, but privacy and solitude are such rare things when living in a college dorm it's best to take advantage of them whenever possible. I started picking out my classes for next quarter, and I'll probably end up taking 5 instead of the usual 4, because in addition to a shitty required one, there were 4 cool sounding ones I want to take. All nerdly computer stuff. Rockin'. I am the no life queen. I love me.

FUUUUUUUCK BLOGGER I FUCKING HATE YOU! stabstabstab

Check this! *scratches record*
I actually found a TV show that I like. Why is this such breaking news? Because I fucking HATE television. I consider it to be one of mankind's most worthless and socially detrimental creations. If television were to suddenly vanish off the face of the earth, I wouldn't miss a sixteenth note. TV involves sitting and staring, which is the most uninteresting activity ever. Not to mention the fact that 99.9999999999% of everything on television is utter trash: idiotic, poorly made, totally unfunny, and offensive (yes, *I* said that something was offensive. I have a different definition of "offensive" than most people do, I think.... perhaps I shall elaborate on that in another entry ). The .0000000001% that is actually quasi-worthwhile consists of the occasional show on the Discovery Channel or TLC. Movies are marginally better; they tend to be of overall higher quality due to the fact they receive more money for production and are only a couple of hours long in total. Even so, I would say that a large chunk of the world's movies can join television in the sucking of my cooch. Printed material and video games all the way. But I digress. The show I like is Clone High (it's on MTV? Yes? I don't know). I actually laughed and was genuinely entertained by this show. I haven't been entertained by television since like, elementary school. One of the characters is a robot who has lines like, "where. are. my. bitches?" and "bling. bliiiiiing." Marilyn Manson sings about the food pyramid. Those should be some sure signs that this show has amusement value. I don't know when it's on, though. Even if I did I doubt I would watch it regularly; I'm just so not in the habit of following TV shows that I would forget. But yes, I actually LIKE a TV show. Another layer of Hell has just frozen over (the center of it already IS frozen, you butt mashers). Anyone who gets that reference (other than Becca, Lesley and Claire because we already had this convo) gets a.... YUM POP! and a bunch of cool points.

LET US FLY TO BOUNTY LAND!

Listening to: Call Me by Blondie


::drum roll::

Introducing PlayStation Black Disk ver. INFERNO! It is so sexy. It has a frame! Frame by frame, to the extreme! And it's not done! I'm a little hypey right now! So all my sentences have exclamation points after them!

Also, I need to get some archives working for this mofo. If you want to look at my old archives and posts and blah blah, go to the frame and scroll down. Under "back in the day" you will find all sorts of old PSBD Sister Ray goodness. Rawr.

Q&A with Sister Ray about the new layout:

Q. So Sis, why's it called INFERNO? What does that have to do with anything?
A. Because the Inferno (actually the entire Divine Comedy) was written by Dante Aleghieri, whom Dante of Devil May Cry fame was named after. I'm being smart, okay?

Q. You made this in DreamWeaver right?
A. FUCK NO. I wrote this bitch by hand in Notepad, and made the graphic at the top with Photoshop 6. DreamWeaver can suck my cooch.

Q. So why Dante from Devil May Cry?
A. Because he's hot and I want to be Ebony and Ivory so I can magically disappear into his pants.

AND THE DAY IS MINE!

More testicles. It is not fucking October.
