Anthony, that’s a great time for a tournament for me, since I know I’ll be in Irvine then.
A proposal to all: let’s bullshit. I’m currently v.bored. If you’re bored and have the time, perhaps you can read my bs and respond with your own. BS is something that this thread has been sorely lacking recently, and I foresee further boredom on my end in the coming days.
I just got back from Vegas and I couldn’t find shit to do there. I’ll admit that it would probably be a hella nice place to take a girl…there’s some hella romantic shit there, but personally I was left unfulfilled.
1) Video games - OK, this is what irked me the most. I went to two arcades there, and neither had a decent game. Both had Tekken 4, and one had Marvel, but other than that, nothing. Not even any shooters or anything to mindlessly play. Of course there were the obligatory groups of jackasses watching DDR at the front. SF friends, that simply won’t cut it with me.
2) Gamble - If I’m guaranteed to lose money, I’d rather lose it doing something fun, like video games. I lost five fucking dollars there and didn’t enjoy it at all. That’s 10 games of SF3 at ZZ :(.
3) Get drunk and gamble - The obvious choice. Unfortunately I can no longer safely drink due to the condition that God(and possibly some really irresponsible behavior on my part ;)) inflicted upon me known as epilepsy.
4) Strip clubs - Sorry, but I think going to strip clubs is even nerdier than than going to arcades.
5) Legalized prostitution - No, thanks.
So…??? What’s left is looking at all the insane shit that the robber barons built with their outrageous fortunes. I did that, and it is kind of cool, but I can only take that for so long. I’m really not a natural voyeur. I’ve been doing nothing for, like, as long as I can remember. I want to actually do something.
I saw a really bad movie recently called The Cooler. It’s supposed to be good or something, but it was just a total joke IMO. Plus I really don’t appreciate being shown William H. Macy’s pubes/ass fifty times. I also saw a bomb-ass movie called In America. It’s also the saddest movie I’ve seen in a very long time; possibly even the saddest movie I’ve ever seen that I can remember clearly. I would definitely recommend it to everyone…best movie I’ve seen in a very long time for sure.
Yeah, Anthony…I hope you can set up that tournament, because I won’t be seeing much of Irvine in the future if everything works out, job-wise. I graduated last quarter so I’m coming back down to Irvine in a few weeks just to move out and tie up any other loose ends, but that’s it. If I can’t find work up here then I’ll probably end up living down there in socal, but that’s definitely not my first choice. I really enjoyed playing street fighter with everyone(though sometimes it might not have shown, hehe) down in Irvine. In fact, probably my favorite part of all of my 4 years at UCI is Zot Zone. In all 4 years there’s really only been one ZZ player who I don’t like, who thankfully doesn’t post here.
For Christmas my friend gave me the Dominion Tank Police DVD. It’s one of the tightest anime that I’ve ever seen, in my opinion, because the dubbed version is so much better than the subtitled version. CPM really went all out when it made the English version. Now the story actually has a real point; it’s actually meaningful. Maybe it’s just a personal thing, but I freaking love the depressing idea of demolishing everything(self- and otherwise) because nothing is really worth holding onto. I’ve been missing that anime for over a year now, and it’s just as good as I remember it being before my cd got scratched beyond all repair.
Oh, another thing is that the DMV finally reinstated my driver’s license that it revoked almost a year ago. I’ll be driving down to Irvine when I come down there, so I’ll FINALLY be able to get around without begging one of you for rides. Thanks Abel, Marvin, Courtney, David, Archie and everyone else who drove me around. It is truly very much appreciated.
OK that’s everything I can possibly think of. Congratulations if you read this far :).
Chris
