My quest to download 135GB of “Mystery Science Theater 3000″ continues. It’s been about 3 weeks, but I’m hopeful to have it finished by Tuesday. As of right now, I’m at 126GB. Nine more gigs to go!
Aside from my ongoing love of “The Office,” I’ve added “30 Rock” to the “Shows I (heart)” List because Kenneth the Page is hilarious.
I’m trying to get into “The Whitest Kids U’Know” but having grown up with “The Kids in the Hall,” it’s been difficult. The jokes just seem recycled because it’s like the “Kids” did them all previously. I have the first and second seasons sitting in my Netflix Instant Queue on XBox and I’m about half-way done with Season 1 and it doesn’t make me hope that my brain explodes and my eyes melt and run down my face, so in a few more episodes, I’ll probably be forcing all my friends to watch it. (And for the record, SDJ has been raving about TWKUK forever.)
I am now hopelessly addicted to “Metalocalypse.” Hopelessly. I’m pretty sure Dethklok is my new favorite band. My friends and I have been quoting it all week – Twitter has been flooded with quotes. And I’ve been confusing the hell out of the people who follow me with my horrible grammar and adding “s”s to the ends of inappropriate words when quoting Toki and Skwisgaar. (Like, “Oh, thanks Bigs Bens, nows I knows what times it is!” Seriously, who says shit like that?) I also like to text Anthony when I’m hungry with “BY THE POWER OF ALL THAT IS EVIL, I COMMAND YOU TO AWAKEN AND MAKE ME A SANDWICH!” (Despite my best efforts, he has yet to yield and deliver unto me an epic treat composed of deli meats and cheese between two slices of bread.)
It’s pretty brutal.
I’m pretty stoked about the fact that in the Special Features folder of my “Metalocalypse” download is the “Skwisgaar Skwigelf Advanced Fast Hands Finger Wizard Master Class” that teaches you to play the guitar solo from the “Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle.” That was stuck in my head all day on Wednesday. I have no idea what makes me think I’d be able to play this, since the only guitar I’ve held in the past year has been plastic with multicolored buttons. Methinks there will be a lot of “I can’ts plays it! It’s too damns hard! Skwisgaars always makes it so hard! Damns you stupid, slow, stubby fingers, don’ts looks at me!” Yup.
I also (heart) Toki Wartooth.
Through “Metalocalypse,” I’ve discovered that a Gibson Flying V electric guitar starts at $1,700, while a Gibson X-plorer starts at $2,300. That is f’n expensive. Though I suppose it’s worth it to own a Gibson signature model guitar. However, I’ll add a Flying V to my list of things to purchase once I’m independently wealthy, acquire my small island off the coast of Costa Rica and have built my dinosaur cloning facility-slash-bullfrog ranch-slash-axolotl sanctuary while flying around in my own personal hovercraft, surrounded by piles of money which, when I’m not swimming in it ala Scrooge McDuck, I use to line the cages of my FLEET of hamsters, all of whom have been trained to kill upon hearing the word “hacienda.”
That’s right folks, I’ve got big plans. I just need to finish college first … and thus far, it’s taken me 9 years.

I had my first test in my German class on Wednesday. I studied like hell with my friend Gretchen (while Tedula and Charlie filtered in and out) all day on Tuesday from 12P-8P with only an hour break – for food and a little bit of “Metalocalypse.”
Then on Wednesday, we studied from 3P-7P, with our test at 7. I’m pretty confident that I did well. The professor even threw in a verb (machen – to make/do) she hadn’t put on our study sheet, which is probably going to get some complaints on Monday (and rightfully so because that was a pretty dick move,) but after guessing on the test and looking it up afterwards, I’m pretty proud that I was right and am damn lucky too.
I studied a LOT for the test and I hope to hell that I got a good grade. The studying was a nightmare, but hopefully the payoff will be worth it. 
However, even with the 12 hours of studying I did for the test, I did finish it first out of everyone else in the class and it seemed ridiculously easy. So there’s that little ping of doubt saying, “It was either really, really easy, or I totally failed everything.”
I’m going to do everything I can to get my ducks in a row and do well this semester and the Fall semester, so I can graduate with at least a 3.5GPA. I think I’m at a 3.15 right now – after the horrific mess that was my Physics/Electrical Engineering class two years ago. I’ve got a good group of friends to help study, so that’s always a plus. And I would most certainly like to graduate college before my 10-year high school reunion … holy crap that’s next year.

It brought joy to my heart tonight when Anthony told me how after I’d posted on twitter an excerpt of our IM conversation where he stated “I has lice!”, like four people approached him and asked if he seriously had lice. Unfortunately, Anthony denied the existence of head parasites, though he had originally agreed to run with it and make everyone think he really did have lice.
Which makes me realize that people actually DO read the random shit I post on Twitter.
Oh man, for the past month or so, I’ve been posting ridiculous quotes from TV shows and other various miscellany that was funny to probably only me … you know, the kind of stuff that could get you sent to that fancy place with white jackets with buckles that make you hug yourself.
