The Art of Random

Grrr, what kind of retail business doesn’t open til fuckin 10AM? WTB SC2!

I hate comedy show laugh tracks. So shitty.

I like it overall, very fun show, great dialog. If you’re pretty bleh when it comes to Kisten Bell’s acting in her movie career, don’t let that taint you here. She does a far superior job in this role.

Season 3 (the final season) is definitely inferior to the first two, as apparently some CW executive thought the show’s formula over the first two seasons (One big over-arching mystery for the season, plus a bunch of little ones) made it “too confusing.” That being so, for season 3 they broke it down more into a 9 episode + 6 episode + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 mystery split, instead of a 22-episode span. Pretty weak. Additionally, as I would expect tends to happen with how people insist on setting prime time TV dramas in the ol’ field of high school, some of the character interaction charm falls off when Veronica starts doing the college thing.

Also, in the first two seasons as everything for the big mystery starts falling into place and adding up, the last 3-4 episodes are just awesomely interesting and suspenseful, and action packed. Season 3 finale just felt rushed, and lackluster. Pity.

Alas, I recommend adding it to your pile of TV to watch. I’m sad it’s over, but hey.

Heh, awesome LoL match =) 51 minutes long, and both teams (of 5 people each) were neck in neck the whole way, until about the last 4 minutes, where we lost a major fight and then got crushed pretty bad because of death timers, heheh.

We lost at 60 kills to 64 kills, which is incredibly unusual for teams to be that close. I scored 25 kills and 13 assists to my 13 deaths as well =) Not too shabby, highest kill count by quite a lot. Could have shaved off some of those deaths though, stupid stuff.

So good.

Ugh, Season 3 of Veronica Mars (season 2 equally awesome as season 1, btw) has a new intro and new intro music. It sucks. Pretty bad. I always found the intro particularly groovy too, and now it’s just blah.

On the flip side…THANK GOD they got rid of that fucking song for Weeds intros.

Huh. K-Stew actually *can* play a role other than passive whiney emo girl. Weird.

AFI — The Missing Frame stuck in my head just out of the blue. Heh.

As I came home this morning, I saw parked on a nearby street an old beat up van that said “Cheyenne Police Department Mobile Laboratory” on it. Looks like a drug dealer distribution van.

Sure would appreciate it if Bresnan would stop disconnecting me in the middle of SC2 matches. Lost due to two disconnects today already ><. Yargh. Only losses (except one…accidentally selected Terran, heh) I have today so far though, which is a hell of a lot better than yesterday. Went 1-7 yesterday =(. 6-3 today so far with the two disconnects.

New In This Moment, Korn, and Hellyeah this week. Hopefully some of it won’t suck!

And because how can you not love anime, and I just spent far too long digging around the interwebs (while sleep deprived, no less)…some awesome:

Pew pew cat lazers:

Riff on a fish?

Gawd so fucking happy. Finally got an all-purpose opening (and a couple minor variants) for my zergy goodness. Not only that, but my macro management is getting waaaaaaaaaaaaay better, so I’m getting a lot more success out of mid-late game. Because of that (as there’s no way to put early pressure on Terrans) my Zerg vs Terran has significantly improved. In fact, this morning I won 6 consecutive matches vs Terran players (against multiple play styles/builds too!), whereas before I was losing almost every time. Result!

*Anime victory sign and happy eyes*

Or, to be explicit…

I did some of this:

Which translated into a lot of this happening for Terrans:

Which then in turn made me feel like this (except more enthusiastic):

P.S.: Do you have any idea how bloody hard it is to find some pics of anime characters throwing a peace/victory sign? I mean seriously? With how much it happens in anime, I sure didn’t come up with quite what I was envisioning. Pity.

New series on USA. Piper Perabo as a CIA agent. Same producer guy that did the Bourne trilogy. Pretty awesome. Check it.
