This whole hurricane katrina thing is just so surreal and horrifying. There is an article up on foxnews about economic impact of Katrina only being limited, but what the fuck, New Orleans looks like its been completely destroyed??? |

I just noticed that Undeclared was released as a DVD box set!!! |
I am now free of dead pixels. In fact, all my pixels are alive and well. The folks at Target we're very helpful about the whole thing.
Dusk asked in comments in the last post, and the answer is "No, I did not buy Nintendogs." The DS-straw-that -broke-the-camel's-back for me was Advance Wars DS. And I have spent the entire day thinking about when I can get home and continue playing it. It's digital crack in it's purest form. Pure fun.
This week's Netflix Queue:
Sahara, Seed of Chucky, The Jacket. Based on what I've read, The Jacket might be good (I'm a fan of 12 Monkeys and Jacob's Ladder), and I'm hoping the first two can at least be fun although I expect both to be pure crap. I guess it's good my expectations are set low? |

I'm only going to buy one Nintendo DS in my lifetime, and the one I buy has a dead pixel. :\
Hope I can return it.

Last few Netflix choices:
The Ring Two - This is a sequel that definitely did not need to be made. Given how stuck up Naomi Watts tends to sound in interviews with "finding the right script" and not "compromising her integrity as an actor" I'm surprised she returned to make this one. It must have been the money. The reason I liked the first movie so much is because it wasn't quite like those other retarded "J-Horror" flicks that are just so stupid and baffling. It had a mystery, it was almost part-detective flick with a false sense of satisfaction that the mystery was solved. The second film was like, "Hey we should do more of that!" while letting Hideo Nakata do some of his crappy un-suspenseful sequences. The "detective film" part of this movie, the unveiling of the mystery of Samara, it all seemed like it was pulled out of thin air.
Control Room - Documentary about Al Jazeera. Awesome flick!!! If you need more reasons to hate the American government's current administration, go no further!
Hero - I put this in, saw the opening monologue of Jet Li about being "Nameless" and shit and ejected it and put it back in my mailbox. If I wanted to read for 2 hours I'd buy a book. No idea why I added this to my queue, but wish I had taken it off before they mailed this out to me.

Any dog that has lived 16 years has had a good run. For that dog to be a part of my life since I was 8 years old, I honestly can't imagine life without him.
Over the last few years, he's gotten slower, he's lost his vision, he's had his fights with a few odd infections and diseases. But he was OK. In retrospect, he was just growing older. It finally hit me tonight that over the last few weeks, this is no longer the case - he's not growing older any more, he's fading away. He's losing interest, he's not standing up anymore, he doesn't even care where he's going to the bathroom. I'm now worrying myself silly with the idea that I might have to make a difficult decision - as opposed to my once-dreamed upon hope that he would pass away quietly in his sleep 2-3 years from now and I wouldn't have any psychological issues from it.
When I finished taking him outside tonight I gave him a new chew toy and he actually attempted to wrestle it away from me playfully in a bit of tug of war. He even stayed standing. It was this little puppy-like act that has depressed me so much. I can hear him in the other room munching on it while I'm writing this.
( Click here to see pictures of the pup )
I still don't think I'm going to be prepared for the day he disappears.

The "Only" video for Nine Inch Nails is out.
To watch:
- Go to http://video.msn.com/
- Click on Movies - Music on left hand side
- Click on Music: Rock
- It should be on the page a couple rows down
The video was directed by David Fincher of Fight Club and Se7en fame, so it's pretty fucking genius.

How I would rate Nine Inch Nails albums amongst each other:
1. The Downward Spiral
2. The Fragile
3. With_teeth
4. Pretty Hate Machine
5. Broken
I really like his latest album, in fact I really like them all, just not as significant to my life as TDS and The Fragile were when they were first released. I'm eager to see him perform in the stadium tour this fall.

128 Figurines out of a total of 130 so far.
And only 21 more people to fuse kinstones with.
I'll update with a final progress and a review when I wrap everything up :x

I finished Haunted last night. The ending wasn't particularly fantastic... but the stories as stand alone entities were. I was still impressed though with the way the short stories were threaded together by a main storyline.
My favorite stories were....
Dissertation by the Missing Link (probably my favorite, love the x-files shit)
The Nightmare Box by Mrs. Clark
Slumming by Lady Baglady
and Foot Work by Mother Nature
Thoughts:
I would have to say that Exodus by Director Deniel was _the_ most fucked up story, as well as the grossest, in the entire collection.
Punch Drink was such an unofficial continuation of Fight Club, I loved it.
And BTW - what exactly was stomping people in Civil Twilight?
All Palahniuk books are great, some better than others. Here is the obligatory Joshamp personal ranking now (1 being my favorite):
1. Survivor
2. Lullaby
3. Fight Club
4. Diary/Haunted
5. Invisible Monsters
6. Choke (which I coincidentally could never finish reading but really should).

The last week on FFXI has been great and exciting. Killed a lot of various Notorious Monsters this week including Jormungand, Tyrannic Tunnok, Ungur, Lindwurm, Pelican, and Xolotl.
Also squeezed in Dynamis-Beaucedine, 2 merits, and a CN escort run for giving some EXP to my SMN.

There were two shows last night that I was looking forward to seeing. One I am super-hyped about (Lost), and the other I was just at a regular level of hype about (Alias).
In the end, the Lost finale managed to really disappoint me. They promised to answer some old questions why opening the doors to new one. Last night - only new doors were opened - nothing was resolved. It's like a half undressed hot girl rubbing against your crotch for 45 minutes then she's like "I'll come back in 4 months, maybe."
Alias on the other hand. Like... Wow. Total fucking wow. I guess by the end of the episode I figured they had wrapped up and solved everything and wasn't expecting the last 60 seconds to go down like they did.
If you want to know... *SPOILER ALERT*

OK so... Sydney and Michael are driving down a road. Usual gushing "I love yous" and Michael then says "Which is why I need to tell you this"
"Do you think it's a coincidence that I was the one you met when you came into the CIA to tell us about SD-6?", Sydney with a brainless "Well what do you mean? What are you trying to tell me?" He then says "Well, first off, my name isn't really Michael Vaughn."
And then *BAM*. Not *BAM* the credits roll, *BAM* like a SUV plows into the side of their car, then credits roll.
