Wow, I'm actually posting on LJ and not just defaulting to Twitter summaries. Go fig.

So, anyway, stream of consciousness shizz.....

LOVE the new Jack White project, The Dead Weather. CD comes out tomorrow, but you can listen to the whole thing on Facebook. He's on drums this time. Also diggin' this new iphone app, TuneWiki, which accesses your itunes library and subtitles lyrics as songs play, video links, and GPS goodies. The lyrics don't display on songs not directly ripped from legit sources.....heheh, fair enough. But I love seeing the words pop up as the singer gets to them, kinda like follow the bouncing ball. I'm learning I've been quite wrong about what I THOUGHT were the lyrics to endless songs. Which reminds me of this book that came out in the 90s that compiled misheard lyrics. Funny stuff. :)

I may be the ONLY person on the planet who just really doesn't care about Harry Potter. I've never read the books (I'm so A.D.D. I'm lucky to make it through website articles). All the movies seem the same, Harry's the chosen one, yadda yadda, Voldemort shows up at the end for a big showdown, yadda yadda. Inevitably, everybody who goes into the theater all enthusiastic, come out complaining about what was changed or cut out. Everybody forgets Hollywood's job is to make things palpable for the masses. If you're TOO faithful to the source material, you get a situation like Watchmen, where everyone said it was too long, or its not exciting like Dark Knight, etc etc. Though personally, I thought Watchmen was brilliant.

Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern. Meh. I've never been interested in Green Lantern. I was psyched for Reynolds in the Deadpool movie. I HIGHLY doubt DC Comics would allow their movie star to go ahead and be ANOTHER super hero, and for the direct competition, Marvel. So far, everyone is just speculating Deadpool will just be delayed. Reynolds would have been perfect for Deadpool and I had high hopes that the movie would right the extreme wrongs from X-Men Origins. Fingers crossed a miracle will happen and he will still keep the role. Meanwhile, Green Lantern actually DOES have promise in the hands of Martin Campbell, who directed Casino Royale.

Gotta reorder my promotional postcards that I give out as autographs at cons, since I'm headed to Alabama for Persacon in a couple weeks. I've updated some links for the backside. I'm shocked I went through 1000 of these things in under 6 months.

That's pretty much it. I've got a recording session tomorrow and waiting on a bunch of paychecks from past gigs. Oops....I really should crack open the shrink wrap on the Ghostbusters game, heheh.

It was requested by my SO that I post this photo of our cat so he can see funnies when he comes home from work.

It's the first one (well, two, really, but take your pick) under the cut.
I've also included some random photos of my cats for your macro consideration.

Thanks!

The CoroCoro scans are out in full and you can see a ton of nifty stuff like the Red Gyarados and so forth; though you don't see Mewtwo or Lati@s. Whether it was a rumor or a flatout lie I'm not sure but for now those three are more or less de-confirmed (for now, anyways). Sorry about that!

To make up for it, though!!;
- It appears that inside of Ilex Forest, you can team up with one of the Kimono Girls to help her find the exit, similar to Cheryl in DPPt's Eterna Forest.
- ...PokeGear has a radio and phone (not real ones of course). [FUCK YEAH]
- ...when you win a battle, your mom will save up money for you and will sometimes use it to buy items for you. [FUCK YEAH]
- Notched-Ear Pichu's attacks are confirmed to be Pain Split, Volt Tackle, Helping Hand, and Swagger. It is also stated that it cannot evolve and it cannot be traded out of the two games.

I actually want to fight in the Battle Tower because now you get more than 1 BP and the prizes are actually worth it. But my indecisive self is having problems deciding on a team and how to use items.

( Little help, please! )Also, I made a DS charm and another little figure today

I think I've posted here a few times before, but it's been a while and I'm mostly just lurking from time to time. At this point I have a huge favour to ask you people-- it's actually a small favour I suppose, but it's pretty huge to me.

I used to work with a kid on the more severe end of the autistic spectrum, who was also severely mentally disabled (alsongside of other 'issues'). Though he wasn't completely non-verbal, he was unable to speak coherently and most of his talking was just 'jibberish' for lack of a better term. Having been diagnosed with mild aspergers myself, I could relate to him on several levels and we got along amazingly well.

His dad absolutely hated him for his autism. It was pretty awful to watch. He was always very depressed, I'd go into the situation more, but all you need to know is that it's been a year since I last saw him and I still think about him daily, wishing I could do something. (Because he felt better and made so much progress while I worked with him, and pretty much fell back into depression after I left-- I was only there for an internship.)

Now, I know I'll figure something out eventually because I refuse to give up on him, but it's taking so long and it's unhealthy for my state of mind to always feel this way.

I wrote a song about it, to sort of put my mind at ease I suppose. I would really appreciate it if some of you would have a listen and give me some feedback on the content of it. Because of how little aspergers affects me in comparison to many others, I think a lot of you understand autism better than I do. (I've read loads about it all my life and have all the knowledge in the world, but what does knowledge mean in relation to the autistic spectrum? Not much, I feel.)

I intentionally didn't mention autism in the song; I didn't want to make it blatantly obvious.. I chose my words and chords carefully, but I just really want to be sure I'm not offending anyone with the song or painting a wrong picture, because I'm recording my EP within the next year and definitely want this song on there. It's on my youtube: http://www.youtube.com/dietcokewithcherry the song is called Paper Aeroplanes.

Feel free to look around my channel afterwards if you're bored and do the youtube thing, but I hope you understand I'd just really like valuable comments on the content of that song specifically. You could comment here, or there, or send a personal message; anything, even drop me an email nickyroo87 (at) hotmail (dot) com. Constructive criticism is MORE than welcome. And thanks in advance! I'd really appreciate it if some of you wouldn't mind taking the time. :)

Have a random question! When do you usually play your pokémon games?

I always play mine in bed, before I go to sleep, and sometimes I bring my DS to play them on the train to school. However, when I've just acquired a new game, I'll probably be so excited over it that I play it as much as I can.

This is a piece from a journal I just posted. Would like some input.

I'm tired of spending all my time alone. I need friends but don't know where to start. I have to come up with a plan of action.  I've been thinking about calling an acquaintance from AA (who I met last year while visiting but  only spoke to once or twice since I moved here) to see if she wants to get together. I enjoyed talking with her after meetings.  Although  I hardly  know her I thought it might be worth the risk to try and make a friend. (that's if we have more in common than AA). Whats the worst that can happen?  She might think I'm nuts for calling and say no.  Its just so hard to make these kind of calls.  That's it I'm gonna do it right now. Well I did it, I called her but I had to leave a message.  I hate leaving messages for 2 reasons:
1. when I call I'm prepared to talk and have an idea what I'm going to say but when they call me back its unexpected and I tend to fumble over my words.  If I don't answer when they call I risk playing phone tag and may eventually have to answer when my call is returned.  2. Many people don't listen to their messages or not that often so I never know if I should call them back and how long should I wait.I don't want to sound like I'm desperate (which in some ways I am) or be a nag. Even though I had to leave a message,

Is there a rule of thumb to how long one waits to call again?

I feel like I accomplished something.  It may not turn out the way I would like it to but at least I made the effort and took a risk.
