4 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! seriously? [21 Aug 2008|04:37pm] [ mood | aggravated ] Just as I'm set to come back from my hiatus...my connection crashes. Hardcore. I'm not even sure this is going to post. I'll be back when...well, I guess I'll be back when I'm back. If I can't work it out by Monday, I can get online from the lab a little, I guess, but...*sigh* Sorry, everyone. not that y'all care.

5 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! "heeeeeeey, since when does cardcaptor sakura have nekkid ladies in it?" [16 Aug 2008|12:29am] [ mood | stupid ] [ music | Pete Seeger--Acres of Clams ] Almost finished with routine maintenance on Jackal. Should feel accomplished, as I've finally (mostly) fixed the bug that made her crash EVERY *^)%ING TIME I OPENED A FOLDER WITH A MOVIE FILE IN IT, cleared out a dozen or so obsolete programs, including Program Files dead shell weeding, sorted a fair chunk of music, and burned off over 20 gigs of video to disc, but I feel the need to drop a little protip to myself for the future: HEY, FUCKNUTS. STOP FORGETTING TO DOWNLOAD A PREVIEW EPISODE OF ANIME TORRENTS BEFORE SIGNING IN FOR THE WHOLE THING, OR YOU WILL END UP SPENDING A MONTH DOWNLOADING SIX GIGABYTES OF A SERIES THAT IS 1)TOTALLY UNTRANSLATED AND 2)AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SERIES THAN YOU WANTED. AGAIN. Thanks, me.

4 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! gotta quit stalling, i've got some falling to do [14 Aug 2008|03:30am] [ mood | busy ] [ music | Lemon Demon--I've Got Some Falling to Do ] It's about the time of year that if I'm going to get summer projects done, I need to get them done now. Hopefully this will do something to soothe my aching OCD. As such, until this time next week, I am officially on Hiatus From Fucking Everything. I'll still be checking my e-mail, but I will not be online. Universe, adjust accordingly. If you miss me for some weird masochistic reason, please visit these pages. It's like me there.

playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home [13 Aug 2008|01:00am] [ mood | blank ] [ music | Blue October--Hate Me ] I'm kinda un-okay right now. I don't know if it's school or friends being in crisis or Malingo being lost or just because I've been juggling birth control, but I'm dropping back down into my textbook tropes. I don't want to make a big deal of it, it's something I've dealt with before and can deal with now, I just want to make it clear that if you talk to me and I'm either blank or terrified, it's not you, it's me. Don't worry about it. Peace out.

9 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! he could even take me in the bath [08 Aug 2008|02:03am] [ mood | silly ] [ music | Dresden Dolls--Coin-Operated Boy ] thedirge42: ginji500: Sexual rp? thedirge42: What about it? ginji500: Are you in shota? thedirge42: I dunno, are you into fat white twenty-year-old women pretending to be little asian boys? ginji500: I dont understand..got pics? thedirge42: Hey, you asked first. ginji500: Yea i know ginji500: What i dont understand what you just typed ginji500: fat white twenty-year-old women pretending to be little asian boys? BUZZ!!! ginji500: Sorry ginji500: Got pic of that? thedirge42: Hang on, I'll get one. ginji500: I cant accept something wrong thedirge42: It's nothing naughty, just a picture of me. thedirge42: Strictly on the level. (pic) ginji500: Is that the pic you wanted to show me thedirge42: Yes. It's me and my sister. thedirge42: We have a skin and bone condition, I'm afraid. Very rare. Genetic. ginji500: Well..i dont think i will rp thedirge42: Oh, why can't anyone love me for my mind? ginji500: Yea..i can love your mind if you respect my mind thedirge42: No, no. The damage has been done. I'll just swim back to my little ceramic castle and cry over a container of Rocky Road. You men are all alike!

2 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! merrily yanking another brain splinter from its socket [07 Aug 2008|06:29am] [ mood | utter revulsion ] [ music | Dresden Dolls--Coin-Operated Boy ] Myself: (reading TV Tropes--more on that later) Hmmm, Joe & Mac. Long time since I played that game. It was always creepy when the bosses decayed as you hit them. There was a mammoth boss...oh God, did its trunk fall off and leave a gaping hole while it was still alive? Ha ha, nah, that's silly, my phobia must be embellishing my memories. But...I guess it wouldn't hurt to grab the ROM and check. (About twenty minutes later...) Myself: SCREAM SHUDDER SWEAR VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT And people wonder how I could possibly be afraid of elephants. The sun should be up soon.

5 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! the foxes and the badgers too all come out to play [05 Aug 2008|01:15am] [ mood | amused ] [ music | My Neighbor Totoro--Stroll ] Myself: (hears odd noises) ? (goes outside, despite being pantsless and it being one in the morning) Raccoons: (are sitting in the window-ledge birdfeeder; stare) Myself: Oi, you! Raccoons: *stare* Myself: What do you think you're doing, then? Raccoons: *stare* Myself: That birdseed's for the birds, y'know. Raccoons: *stare* Myself: Fat, sassy things. Raccoons: *stare* Myself: Aaaaah, fine, then. (leaves them to it) Cheeky buggers. Had to open the window before they grudgingly waddled off, and I think I hear them back now. My connection's back up, and I have some links to sort through before handing out. In the meantime, take a melancholy animated short based on a Ray Bradbury story (the link to the original story is below the video window) and a crazy-ass French safe sex PSA and its "straight" counterpart (latter two NSFW). ETA: Oh, I totally forgot! I had some spare time yesterday so I did something I meant to do long ago--raid an old educational CD-ROM of ours for a little movie that creeped me the fuck out as a kid. It attempts to explain black holes by showing the White Rabbit falling down one, and is about twice as weird and unsettling as it sounds. It's only a minute and a half long and can be found here. I'd appreciate it if you took the time, considering it took several hours of swearing and sweating to strip it out of the source files. Now that I know how to do it, though, I might go back in again...I seem to recall another short about the Big Crunch that was a mite worrisome.

4 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! the spiralling shape will make you go insane (but everyone wants to see that crazy thing) [27 Jul 2008|01:10pm] [ mood | aggravated ] [ music | They Might Be Giants--Spiralling Shape ] Current physical tally: --Cut finger chopping vegetables yesterday. Now either inflamed or infected. --Was in the sun for all of an hour sans suntan lotion yesterday, now have perfectly square sunburn on chest and shoulders to mark where my shirt wasn't. I'm paaaaale. --Ovaries still attempting to kick my ass, although I've gotten my appetite back, at least. Left breast doing that RAWR ACHEY HORMONE THING as usual. --Foot's felt cinched up inside for at least a few weeks now. Hoping they didn't misread that X-ray last year and leave a break to heal up improperly. Overall: A bit of a mess. And yet what REALLY bothers me is that my connection has utterly tanked out. UTTERLY. It's slid from DSL-slick to sub-dial-up-wheezy in just a few days. I'm afraid the phone's had it--you'd think if they were going to design a phone that could provide internet access, they'd design a phone that could STAND internet access. More than a half-hour online and the poor thing gets burny-hot. Not burning hot, but burny-hot. That's decidedly worse. Anyway, point is that Jackal is now laughing derisively at me if I do something as unreasonable as upload a 200kb file or run two Firefox windows at once, so I'm pretty much boned as far as my usual content. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon and I can catch up on my screencap adventure, but in the meantime, I might have to...I don't know, be PRODUCTIVE or get some FRESH AIR or something. Or play more Rune Factory. Probably the latter. In the meantime, please enjoy a fantastic horror manga, Uzumaki (Vortex). It's all about spirals. I used to think this song was about love, but this has changed my mind--apparently it's about a mangaka doing things with umbilical cords that makes me go "omg wtf. ew". Further bulletins as events warrant.

10 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! just try to relax, it's a house of wax! [23 Jul 2008|02:44am] [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | The Brave Little Toaster--B-Movie Show ] ( GUESS WHAT, GUESS WHAT I DID )

28 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! meme part dos [22 Jul 2008|05:52am] [ mood | lazy ] [ music | *hums* ] Because I had so much fun with it and because MEGAN RAVAGED THE ENTIRE THING WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES OF POSTING GAWD, how about another round? MEGAN, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TRY UNTIL EVERYONE ELSE HAS HAD A GO. I WILL CUT YOU. seriously just PM me or something if you can't wait 1) Hit shuffle on your playlist and pick the first thirty songs to come up. 2) Write down a line of the song (try to avoid using one that contains the song title). 3) Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

Silent Hill 4--Lullaby to Close Your Eyes. Caught by Janus. Oh Walter. 23. I'm glad to see you take constructive criticism well, thank you for your time, I know we're all busy as hell Jonathan Coulton--Re. Your Brains. Caught by Dap. Like Pyrasaur called, I've been tempted to use this in fic reviews, especially since the next line is "And we'll put this thing to bed when I bash your head open". 24. Maybe I can do the cooking! Sometimes I can do the cleaning! I can even do the dishes! BUT I HAVE TO GO TO THE ELEPHANT RACE! *CLICKvrooooooooooooooooooom* Doctor Bombay--Girlie Girlie.

We never said our love was evergreen or as unchanging as the sea, but if you can still remember, spare a thought for me The Phantom of the Opera--Think of Me. Caught by Annie. Fun fact: I used to be able to play this on the piano. Another fun fact: This song reminds me of a relationship that almost was and makes me bawl like a fucking baby every. dang. time. What has this experiment taught me? I listen to fucking EVERYTHING. Troofax. Bonus meme, ganked from Neutral, who has been kind enough to make me his friend eeeeee<3 Name a fandom, and I'll tell you my: One True Pairing Ship: Canon Ship: "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: "You are one sick bastard" Ship: "I dabble a little" Ship: "It's like a car crash" Ship: "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: "Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" Ship: "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: Actual content soon, I swear |D

18 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! when you hear our gentle singin', you'll be sure to turn and flee [20 Jul 2008|12:29am] [ music | Ah ah ah, no cheating ] Meme time! I've done this one before, long ago, but I enjoyed it, so I gank once again from Megan. 1) Hit shuffle on your playlist and pick the first thirty songs to come up. 2) Write down a line of the song (try to avoid using one that contains the song title). 3) Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs. (NO CHEATING!) 4) When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it. To spice things up, I'll be offering a download of each song once it's been guessed. ISN'T NASTINA GENEROUS wait no Lolz, I forgot my connection hates me lately. Five songs = an hour straight. My apologies :< Just Soulseek it, man. 1. Tell yourself it's easy, and it's true! Anastasia--If I Can Learn to Do It. Caught by Megan. 2. And when you're outside looking in, who's there to open the door? The Jungle Book--That's What Friends Are For. Vultures are nature's original barbershop quartets. Troofax. 3. I'll leave the front unlocked 'cause I can't hear the doorbell They Might Be Giants--Dr. Worm Caught by Megan. 4. We need a good assassination, we need an earthquake or a war 5. Select start 2P game you know thumb on the D-pad ready to go Songs to Wear Pants to--Original Nintendo. Caught by Megan. 6. You mix it all together in your dreams, ingredients from the seven seas Aqua--Around the World. Caught by Megan. 7. And I'm afraid I've had to rake 'em 'cross the coals The Little Mermaid--Poor Unfortunate Souls. Caught by Pyrasaur. 8. Forget about your sin, give the audience a grin Monty Python--Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. Caught by Megan. This and Move Your Dead Bones are the only things that got me through Stagecraft, I swear. 9. But you should use it carefully, or it could change your life Mary Poppins--Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Caught by Megan. 10. So versatile, so multitalented, so...so...GOD I WANNA FUCK HER 11.

But the tigers come at night, with a voice as soft as thunder Les Miserables--I Dreamed a Dream. Caught by Megan. GOD FAUNTINE STOP WHINING. 16.

This song is about succubi/incubi, I swear. 18. I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees Aqua--Barbie Girl. Caught by Megan. It will never cease to amuse me how an entire generation of nine-year-olds loved and sang this little BDSM ditty. 19. I've got a box of Jujubes, a bottle of Yoo-Hoo, a couple Mad Magazines 20. Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, it's not your style Bye Bye Birdie--Put on a Happy Face. Caught by Megan. 21. Why won't he be the king I know he is, the king I see inside? The Lion King--Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Caught by Megan. Yes, I'm gay, I know. 22. Do not panic, it was an accident! Simply an accident! 23. I'm always on the wrong side of every door Cats--The Rum Tum Tugger. Caught by Pyrasaur, which is only fair, considering I caught a snippet of lyrics from the same song in her epicfic To Each a Tempo, earning me a hawt little drabble that had been just begging to be written. Have I mentioned I liked it, Pyres? |3 24. You flew by like a summer vacation, and you left me TV movies and a messy kitchen 25. I've been brain-fried, electrified, infected and injectified, vivisectified and fed pesticides Fern Gully--Batty Rap. Caught by Megan. VINCENT??? 26.

And though I'll think of you, I guess, until the day I die, I think I miss you less and less as every day goes by Sweeney Todd--Johanna (2nd Reprise)/City on Fire. Caught by Megan. This one reminds me of Vincent too... 30. And besides, you're probably holding hands with some skinny, pretty girl that likes to talk about bands The Moldy Peaches--Nothing Came Out. Caught by Megan. One of my old-school angst songs...literally. I skipped repeat bands, instrumentals, songs in a different language, songs I've downloaded to but haven't listened to, and songs I don't know very well. For extra points, you can guess my subject line (Curse of Monkey Island--A Pirate I Was Meant to Be, caught by Megan) and the song in my icon. Have fun!

5 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! "good heavens, are these human cadavers? what on earth do you intend to do with them?" [19 Jul 2008|02:05am] [ mood | meh ] [ music | A Shoggoth on the Roof--To Life ] Rune Factory and the lurking threat of returning to college has been sucking my productivity lately. I'll try to have another Screencaps of Evermore update up before the week is out, but in the meantime, eat some assorted linkage. From Wufei: Boten Ana is a Jonathan Coulton-esque song/music video from Sweden. I giggled. Hard Like Heroic is a gaming filk of The Bad Touch. I lawled. Hard. Thanks, Wufei! From Dap: Dr. Horrible is...well, I haven't watched it yet, but I've been assured it's good, and it's from Joss Whedon. JOSS MOTHERFUCKIN WHEDON. It goes down on Sunday, so take your chance now. Thanks, Dap! From me: Yep, that time is growing closer. I have very, very little hope for this movie, but hey, at least it's pretty, and watching Rorschach set things on fire made me squee a little. HEY, THIS GUY IS GIVING AWAY FREE FIRE! ...yeah, that's all I'm going to be able to think of during the movie, great. From Megan: Population Paste documents the most fucked-up shit on the 'net. And I really mean that. This is not one for the weak of stomach, heart, mind, or dick. There's not much that can make a seasoned GAFFer and a seasoned squickfinder do this: 05:22] Delcat42: OH GOD IT'S CRIPPLED JEFF FOXWORTHY NAKED [05:22] seiran79: OH GOD IT IS [05:22] Delcat42: I NEVER WANTED TO PUT THOSE WORDS TOGETHER, INTERNET And this: [05:25] Delcat42: What kind of sick fuck would be into that?

And this: [06:46] seiran79: GOD DAMN YOU JAPAN [06:46] Delcat42: ARGH For more NWS details, hit the cut.

2 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! all my friends gather 'round now, i'll sing you a song [02 Jul 2008|12:29am] [ mood | chipper ] [ music | Ben Folds Five--Steven's Last Night in Town ] New Screencaps of Evermore up, hoorj! I'm really hoping to get this at least 75% done by the end of the summer. Considering we're almost half-done now, I don't think it's too much to ask. Been cruisin' YouTube again, and turned up a trio of vintage creepy cartoons. --Mickey Mouse and the Haunted House is a nice piece of oldschool Disney, back when Ub Iwerks was injecting his merry brand of macabre into everything he got his hands on. You can see him having a lot of fun, here. Man had a skeleton fetish, I swear. Also a touch of that good ol' 1929 casual racism, always fun for getting YouTubers up in arms. --Four years later came Mickey Mouse and the Mad Doctor, which lifted and cleaned up a few elements from the first cartoon, then added several bucketfuls of extra weirdness for good measure. Featured within is a skeleton spider. With six legs. Think about it, and let your inner biology professor cry. --This scared the ever-loving SHIT out of me as a kid. I couldn't understand what anyone was saying, just that obscure but terrible torture was going on. Nightmaaaaares. Friggin' Felix was always good for that. Oh hey, I DID forget to annotate a fic. I THOUGHT I missed something. Well, I'll hit that later. In the meantime, here's my one Phoenix Wright fic, Clockwork. This is the snarkiest of the annotations so far, I think. ( There should be a mildly amusing tag here but I REALLY have to piss )

4 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! they were lonely, i was bored [30 Jun 2008|05:58pm] [ mood | well, huh ] [ music | Barenaked Ladies--Call Me Calmly ] Watched an old Disney sing-a-long tape today because I vaguely remembered Professor Ludwig von Drake content in it from my childhood, and Ludwig von Drake pwns you and your foolish science. Was not disappointed. Was also, however, struck with a chunk of memory like a half-brick in a sock at...4:38, by this video. Went vaguely along the lines of: "Why do I remember that microphone? Wait. Wait. Oh God. THAT THING. WHAT THE HELL. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT THING THAT THING WEIRDED ME OUT SO MUCH AS A KID. HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN THIS.". I also remembered the observation I made as a child that when the thing whistled, its mouth looked like the noisemaker I had ripped out of a broken baby doll. That observation seems a lot more fucked up in retrospect. I would kill to have our old tapes back, I swear. There's gotta be so much more bizarre shit hiding in my memories, helping to spew out weird dreams and sculptures and phobias and fetishes and everything else that makes me tick like a faulty exhaust line. I HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BLAME, DANGIT. (Also: Seriously. Pwns you and your foolish science. And so's your dad.) Anyway, might as well tack another fic on here. Original is here. No spoilers, I believe, just astounding gayness. ( That's what you expect from me anyway, isn't it? )

5 cryptic ramblings GYROMANCY! i know the holes will still remain [28 Jun 2008|04:44pm] [ mood | crushed ] [ music | Silent Hill 3--I Want Love (Studio Mix) ] The Silent Hill series is all about narrative, exploration and atmosphere; even though this has been developed outside of Japan with an entirely new team (with the notable exception of Akira Yamaoka), we are still creating a Silent Hill game. Well...that just about tears it. I knew there was a reason everything I heard about Silent Hill 5 made me want to cry. This may not seem like a big deal to a lot of people, but look at it this way: Take your favorite fandom, your absolute favorite fandom. Pretend that you've been expecting a new edition in whatever the series is for years now. Then, pretend you suddenly find out that everyone working on the fandom--the writers, the artists, the directors and the actors and even the incidental crew, have been replaced by total strangers. Imagine being told that something is the same even though none of the creative force that brought it into being before is even remotely involved. Imagine, quite suddenly, after years of loyalty, having to say goodbye to something you love. You're not here.

GYROMANCY! mindless self-indulgence, act II [28 Jun 2008|12:43am] [ mood | hot ] [ music | Lemmings--Let's Go! ] Mm. I smell like girl. Another fic, original here, mild spoilers for SH1. It's a gimmick-fic as always, so if you're actually remotely interested, I'd recommend reading the original first. Additionally, I've been playing with Spore (hasn't everyone?). If you want to see my monsters or take 'em for a test drive, my profile's here. Seeing about videos, but my connection's pissy in this weather. Anyway... ( I Just Can't Live Without Her )

GYROMANCY! the neighborhood's littered with white gloves [25 Jun 2008|02:13pm] [ music | Shivaree--John 2:14 ] Omnomm'd an entire 440-page webcomic in one sitting last night, holy wow. I was going to stick it in with the rest of the "READ THIS" webcomics when I did my big update, but it's not like any of the others so I might as well stick it here. Read Rice Boy, everyone. It's wonderfully different, occasionally humorous, and delightfully trippy, plus it's filled with awesome monsters. Thanks to Wufei for the link. In the meantime, I really am trying to slog through a backlog of personal projects before the summer's out, so I spent the morning annotating my fics. I don't know why these would actually interest anyone else, aside from the bits and pieces of self-snark, so you don't have to feel obliged to read. As a person who occasionally rents DVDs just for the commentary, I know I'm not well enough in the head to understand what a normal person finds entertaining. On the off chance you want the glimpse inside my head, though, I've got nothin' better to do than post 'em up here. First up is my first (real) fic, Lost Angles. Beware the Big Spoiler from Silent Hill 2. (That's one of the things I love about Silent Hill, is that one of the game has a Big Spoiler, like Jacob's Ladder or The Sixth Sense. It's all out once you know, so watch yourself.) ( I wish I could claim I didn't know dang' well what I was doing and was cackling all the while )
