word to the ys

Today:

Saw WALL-E. Had galactically high hopes. Was satisfied.

Saw Wanted. What a great movie. Even better than Transporter 2, and that's praise of the highest degree coming from me.

Whilst defragging a computer, I said "Windows system" as "wisdom."

I really don't know what to think of that. At all.

Quality day though.

happy days

Monday: Rock Band for Wii.

Tuesday: Dethklok.

Wednesday: one good buddy's 20th and another's 21st birthdays.

What a quality week this has been, folks.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds.

Also, the stars were one again the best ever, and once again, still no one to count them with.

And the thing is, I can't do that back at Tech. There are literally thousands of stars visible to the naked eye here in the 603.

I'm sure I'll find someone down there, one day.

There just won't be any stars left for us.

The world keeps turning, though, and one day, I'll be back here, lying on my back in the grass, staring out into the universe with someone special.

That's really all I want.

(particularly now that I have a Wii)

worth mentioning

Item A: The Incredible Hulk was great, go see it. Don't wait through the credits, though. Nothing there.

Item B: If you haven't seen Iron Man yet, go see it, and wait through the credits. If you've seen it already, and didn't wait, go see it again, and wait. It was great, it'll be worth it.

Item C: Total Drama Island is a horrific abomination of a television program. Please, for the love of all that is not going to melt your cerebellum, don't bother.

Item D: Rock Band is expensive, super fun, and incompatible with Wii Guitar Hero controllers.

Item E: Rock Band is not nearly so much fun without the guys from Smith. Lame.

Item F: Rock Band will redeem itself when I'm a PL in Glenn. Building community with freshies for the win, folks.

Item G: Dinnertime.

get are done?

So last night I crashed my van in a ditch at the end of my buddy's driveway at about 2 AM, which was funny, because

A) I could hardly see a thing, and I figured my buddy Scott would let me know if I was getting near anything crazy, since the van is real terrible to try to back downhill through woods in the dark

and

B) Scott thought I knew the ditch was there.

Oh well.

I called roadside assist and they sent a greasy redneck with a Git-R-Dun hat and everything to drag me out.

At 11AM, that is.

Nice guy, though. I liked him. Couldn't tell more than about 15% of the words he said to me, but that's not that unusual. There're all sorts of people I can't understand, these days.

Also, this:

wiik one

So, seven days, 6 games, two Virtual Console titles, and 47 aggregate hours of gameplay later,

the Wii was one of the best splurge purchase decisions I've ever, ever made.

Super Mario Galaxy was great, and I still haven't hundred-percented it. No More Heroes is freakin' sweet so far, Wii Play is alright, Wii Sports is still reason enough to have a Wii, The NES Legend of Zelda is wayyy more intense than I though it would be, I'm getting okay at Dr. Mario, I haven't started Okami yet, and Resident Evil 4 is just as scary as it's always been, and the Wiimote control makes it so much easier to nab those crucial ammo-conserving headshots that make that game the truly glorious nightmare that it is.

Not to mention the Wii Shop Channel music is real great.

Oh, man.

What a great way to spend my credit limit/scholarship rebate.

For the Wiin, ladies and gentlemen.

gone

All those stars and fireflies,



no one to watch them with.

also, this

...is real great.

wii are the champions

Oh man.

I got a Wii last Thursday.

Pretty much ate my life.

I tell you what, though: it beats the tar out of just Facebook stalking to pass the time.

Guitar Hero, here I come.

set phasers to mesmerize

There was a young blogger named Mosher,
Whose meds had just come to their closure.
Then he went on the run
Having oodles of fun
And sortof forgot to come back and blog about it every so often because that would probably be the best plan, eh?

In light of that failed limerick, here's your local news on the 11's:

Saturday: freakin' sweet apartment-warming party at Sheriff and Jesse's new place. Lots of dance partying. Also, at one point, and seemingly because we left the door open, a roaming band of partiers with many brews barged in on the pong game and demanded to know where the "chicks" were before stomping out drunkenly and smashing a bottle in the street.

Woo, Keene, NH. Real great.

Sunday: grilled some secret-4-generations-of-Mosher family recipe chicken. Real delicious.

Monday: drove 150 miles or so to get my Ph.D.-in-math grandpa down to Logan in Boston so he could fly back. We talked about computers and the sound barrier and people being nuts for saying things like the light barrier is impossible to break. People said the sound barrier was impossible to break and broke it in his lifetime already. I want to break the light barrier.

Yesterday: snuck in to my high school to print out my Six Flags ticket before heading about 130 miles south to SF over New England. Probably the best part--aside from hitting Superman twice in the very front and once in the very back in less than half an hour (the roller coaster, that is)--was a sign posted on an access road under Mind Eraser (another good coaster) that said

LOWER BOOMS AND DUMP BODIES

right next to the river.

Real good call by whoever phrased that like that.

Also, I pitched in half for my buddy's new Burnout: Paradise for his birthday and then played it way more than he did when we got back to his house.

Also, I watched lightning knock out the power to my house. 1.21 gigawatts, baby.

Also, I had a weird insight into matter-antimatter interactions that makes me think unification might not be so tough if you look at gravity like the converse of electromagnetism, where likes attract and opposites repel.

Not sure what sort of actual physical validity I've got there, but it'll work for my book, which unfortunately I still haven't gotten through the outline stages.

Oh well. Life is good.

this was a triumph

Item A: My parents just got moved to a new satellite transponder yesterday so the internet out to be streaming down through space in much better order than it has been.

Translation: WHEEE! Internets!

In other news, whenever I edit or add someone to my phonebook and it says "CONTACT SAVED" at the end, part of me imagines an apparitional form of myself reaching out over some sort of precipice being licked ferociously by hellfire just as whomever I've just added loses their grip on the aforedescribed precipice.

Also, I may have just made up "aforedescribed."

Also, at check-up number 2, the dermatologist told me to quit Accutane.

Translation: WHEE! No more fighting of the meds!

Pretty jazzed about it.

Also, in other, other news, I bought 288 sparklers for 10 bucks.

I was happy.

It's been a quality few days.

space: the final frontier

I had so many freakin' sweet things to say the last few days, but my satellite uplink from nowhereland, NH, to the internet has been naughty the last few days.

Also, it's been kindof overcast. That sort of deal never really helps with the whole data-shooting-at-lightspeed-through-space-only-to-end-up-somewhere-in-Texas thing.

In other news, life goal #35: Get all the status icons to light up at once on my cellphone... Goal Complete.

New life goal, #5: Be the first person to explore an extrasolar planet. Alternatively, my grandkids could do this using my work on some sort of warp drive that I've begun work on, already.

That or my version of the infinite improbability drive.

I'm going to have some kind of ridiculous senior Physics project, that's all I can really say.

I just really want to grow up to be a space explorer.
