Life, while not idyllic, is wonderful. Twelve hours on my feet makes me tired and weak, but I have more days off now.

allisino has been downsized from her employment, but that just means we get a little more time together before she finds another assignment. A number of family and friends are experiencing infirmities of health and spirit, but I can pray for them, and not alone this time, as ma belle has been my spiritual partner for almost as long as she's been my romantic one now. \(ºwº)/

I cooked goulash for the first time for her and my brother last week, and nothing bad happened to any of us! So yay! Mads: 15 - Food Poisoning: 0!

My brother got Street Fighter 4 for the PS3 a few days ago, and I still suck at fighting games. Mostly it's because I can't be stuffed to spend the time necessary to be good at anything on a videogame (the next iteration of which will have an almost completely different learning curve altogether for itself anyway), but also because I tend to pick lower tier characters whom I feel deserve a little more love, thus ensuring that I can't train on the stronger ones more, while becoming only moderately competent on the weaker ones who can't do much against the stronger ones anyway.

Come to think of it, that's not entirely accurate; for Street Fighter 4, and the series in general, I've always favored M. Bison (or Vega, whatever translation you're working with), and he's a pretty decent hitter, even when not in Boss mode. I've taken a liking to Zangief too, especially now that I can actually get his special throws with the analog stick.

On the whole, I have some hope of actually learning this game to some level of respectable skill, if only because the aesthetic does not appeal to me at all. For instance, my brother observed that while the faces on the females seem okay, their in-game models' hands are hilariously bigger than their faces. I suppose it's better than their tatas each being bigger than their heads? I honestly don't know. Anyway, what this means is that I can focus on playing better as long as I am not distracted by the graphics, unlike when I played... well... pretty much every sprite fighter I've ever played.

In fact, that's the primary manner I've derived entertainment from arcades as a youth; just roam around for hours watching people play. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that we were too poor in the Philippines to be constantly feeding money to the slots. Every time I did, I'd get my buttocks handed to me anyway.

The Team Fortress 2 Scout Update is out! Woohoo! Which is great timing, because I'm giving up Team Fortress, Street Fighter, and all other videogames for Lent anyway! WHAT A TWEEST!

Yep, for the next forty days, it will be no games, plenty of study, and eating and sleeping right, with plenty of exercise. Then I might even get to think about offering penances too! AWESOOOOOME lol

Godspeed! ¯\(ºwo)/¯

P.S. By the way, Capcom, what the hell is UP with Crimson Viper's character design? I can dig the business suit look, but please-- either lose the tie, or button up your shirt, girl; the having-it-both-ways thing does not work, and is only hypnotic in the way one might be unable to help but look at someone in public who appears to have forgotten how to dress themselves properly. All in all, her appearance seems to be another concoction of creativity by committee, a phenomenon I have seen entirely too much of lately. More on that when I get to talk about Kung Fu Panda! Adieu!

P.S.S. And her shirt's way too short too! Man!

I stopped listening after a few seconds-- I started to feel threatened. D:

Maybe when I get back, there won't be as many Scoots running around trying to get the same achievement. And maybe I can finally get the hilariously-named Medic achievement "You'll Feel A Little Prick" now that Scouts want to be ubered for their achievement. I never knew I was such an achievement whore until TF2. Thanks a lot, Valve. :(

Ye gods and little fishes, but that looks SUPREMELY uncomfortable. And hard to fight in.

Oh well, at least she has realistic hips.

THANKS, BUT, OH, MAN, I DUNNO, MAN

Losing the shirt is, admittedly, a step in the right direction, but it's neither of my suggestions! Man, when will people start listening to me ~~and just make female characters with short tomboy hair~~!? It's not like they're professional videogame designers or anything! HMPH AND HARRUMPH

I'd be more vocal about her really needing to lose the tie, but, aside from the chromosome-based tendency I can't completely shake yet, I've never paid too much attention to that area anyway. But you knew that, didn't you? :V

This should make you laugh. I had every intention of going to church tonight, but I retrieved Bravest at the bus station (it's been too icy for him to walk this week) and got him home and started to make supper... and FORGOT!

Totally.

Going to try getting to bed on time AGAIN for Lent.

You know, funny thing-- as we were leaving the Wally World from buying some quick essentials, a Hispanic-looking fellow saw the ashes on mine and ma petit's foreheads, and he was all like, "Oh, MAN, I forgot it was Ash Wednesday!". And I was like, "Oh, no! We just attended the last service."

He says, "Oh, man, I totally forgot! That's terrible!"

I respond, "Well, just pray tonight, and I'm sure He'll understand." mostly to make him feel better, and he did seem so, but I didn't really know how to respond the best way. Next time, I'll offer to share my ashes, and remind him he's made from dust lol :3

Ugh, horrible costume, horrible model design, hideous face, and WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH HER HAIR? Seriously, that has to be the most improbable and ridiculous hairstyle I've seen to date.

It's not just the hair either-- the dissonance of design decisions damage her in themselves, but it's made worse by the fact that the look was already done right before.

I'm pretty sure that what Crimson Viper is wearing isn't a dress shirt. it's one of those little vests that women typically wear over a dress shirt. I think you see them as part of casino dealer uniforms and such a lot.

So the problem isn't that she didn't button up her shirt. There would be no buttons there to button. The problem is that she put on the tie and the vest and omitted the shirt part of the equation.

Oh... oh, I guess you're right, the cut of the thing does say 'vest' more than shirt, what with the lack of buttons on top, and the angling and folding on the bottom. I guess it was the collar that threw me off and made me thi--

WAIT WHAT COLLAR WHAT!?

How... how does that even work!? Did she omit the shirt and keep the collar?? Is the collar attached to the tie, like some mutant clip-on!? Does the vest have a vestigial collar? IN SOLVING A MYSTERY, YOU HAVE UNEARTHED HOSTS MORE! D:

My dad's a big fan of Playboy, but sadly most of all that I know of Bunnies I learned from that episode of The Simpsons with Hugh Hefner...

Actually, you know what's bothering me now that I look at the pic again?

Her glasses. There's nothing holding them on. Nothing. They're pince-nez goggles.
