August thoughts, DoC, and In My Pants
A friend's wife--and very dear aquaintance of mine--is in the hospital tonight after a car accident. (FTR, I hate getting an email that just says "car accident" and I have no idea who it is about, and an frantically scrambling to open it so I can read the text.) She is expected to be all right, but the severity was initially shocking. All good vibes, please!
Okay, okay, I have to admit it: it's cold tonight. I'm wearing my long pajama bottoms. It was dark at 7:45 when I took the dogs out.
How did this happen? How did summer get away from me? Well in retrospect, it's kind of easy to see how it got away. I was so sad for much of it, and the rest of the time, trying to squeeze so much in that I guess the times I wasn't being sad just flew by. I did so much this summer, yet I still feel like I should have done more, gone swimming more, gone to the ocean at least once, gone surfing, had more parties or something. I mean, there's always the concert next week, but it's not going to feel like a summer thing, though.
Last year on the 25th I posted a little "Kingdom Of Summer" pic spam. I might do that again, but maybe I'll wait until after next weekend--after the concert (if I can manage to sneak my camera in; god help me, I'm thinking about stuffing it into the front of my pants...) and after what I hope will be the last big get-together of the season. Yesterday I saw some yellow leaves fall, and in the afternoon, I felt that first cool breeze beneath the blaze of the sun. Today it rained a bitch, which it hasn't done in about a month. I love autumn. But it's always so hard for me to let go of summer.
Okay, so gameplay in Dirge of Cerberus is getting juuuust a little repetitive. I'm starting to get frustrated with the endless, similarly styled hallways and random DG guys jumping out so that I can pop a cap in them. I start to look forward to the boss battles, because at least it'll be something different, even if it's frustrating. I just finished "Empire in Ruins" which I played on and off all night since around 8. At first it was neat seeing all the same places from FFVII, and then it all just started to look alike and I started to lose concentration. The boss battle frustrated me a little because of the camera angles, but yet it actually wasn't too difficult. And the FMV that came after it was fully hot. Chaos is fully hot, okay; I totally admit that. I even like the random headgear.
I'm not in love with the voice acting for the most part. I might have mentioned already that I'm not wild about Vincent's voice, but I absolutely crack up whenever Hojo speaks. He sounds like he's going through puberty, and that mad cackle is like something out of MST3K, except here the humor is unintentional. And Lucrecia is just a whiney beeotch.
Okay, hey, guess what? I'm bored; time for one of my favorite memes; the In My Pants meme! Open iTunes or WMP or jukebox or whatever your favorite player is. Select "shuffle" or "random" and pick the first twenty song titles. Add the phrase "in my pants" to them.
I'll be skipping the ones in mine that aren't in English.
1 - (Nothing But) Flowers in my pants (I guess that's not as bad as it could be...)
2 - Fresh Tendrils in my pants (Oh god help me.)
3 - Stir It Up in my pants (I think I got this one last time, too!)
4 - Clint Eastwood in my pants (He felt lucky.)
5 - A Beautiful Lie in my pants (But I'm a girl! Honestly!)
6 - A Modern Myth in my pants (Isn't FFVII kind of a modern myth?)
7 - Amazing Grace in my pants (True; it's not clumsy at all.)
8 - Battle of One in my pants (Tch!)
9 - Native Mambo in my pants (Hey, where's that music coming from?)
10 - Capricorn in my pants ( ^_^;; )
11 - Shock Of The Mighty in my pants (That's right, GOD is in there!)
12 - Get Busy in my pants (Well... get going!)
13 - I Feel Love in my pants (Is that what that is?)
14 - Bittersweet Symphony in my pants (Feel the rhythm!)
15 - Praying For A Riot in my pants (Ready the pepper spray!)
16 - The Captain in my pants (Oh, hi Jack!)
17 - The Kill in my pants (Be careful there...)
18 - Where the WIld Roses Grow in my pants (Right. Because there's nothing but flowers.)
19 - Ask DNA in my pants (Go on, just ask.)
20 - Revolution in my pants (It's time.)
Huh, should I continue on with Dirge of Cerberus tonight, or should I go the hell to bed? I don't have to get up until 9:30 tomorrow, for Kung Fu. But honestly, bed sounds pretty decent.
