Writing extended “one against many” combat scenes is fun :D

Threat = 1/N, where N = number of Ninjas
No ninjas here. Just the main character as she's taking on twenty guards at once. The fun part? Writing how she uses a spear to break apart a line of “medieval riot police” and then takes them on in twos and threes as they scatter across the city square.

Come to think of it, I just updated AVG a few days ago to version 9. That could be it…

i'm running avg version 9, with no problems. on vista. tho again, if it was an update from version X to version 9, there may have been a corruption issue like ozone said.
and i've always' hated norton. i think their virus database is about a page long, and that's it. i've never not gotten a virus while using them.


also aurora the 1/n mathematical equation is used across the bored. N really stands for bad guys. it's called the law of conservation of ninjitsu. I'd link you to the TV tropes, but i promised never to go there again, because i'm afraid of getting lost again.
——————

crap, i can't remember if i'm supposed to be there at 545 or no earlier than 545. and they take showing up early very serious. dangit. i've been out of work for so long i forgot to do stuff to remember.

Post. Script.

It's so much warmer upstairs.

Ohh, ok. Googled and found.

Nope, not having that here. At least I don't think so. I've actually spent about 1800 words on the fight and managed to keep it so short only because the half of them that was alive at the end decided to flee… only to fall into the hands of the angry mob.

Sometimes I get so stressed out at work I close the door and start doing pushups. Does that make me crazy?
God needed the Devil, the Beatles needed the Rolling Stones, Hakoshen needs me.
I'm the enemy he requires to define him.
Soon or later, he'll bring me back to life again for another epic encounter of shouting about power levels and grimacing.

I am the proud recipient of an xbox360 Red Ring of Death.

Wait, did I say proud? I meant angry.


I guess I will be sending it off and all, supposedly fixed for free, they are sending me a label. But that means no xbox360 for the next 3 weeks or so. Which makes me ultra sad because left4dead2 comes out next week.

Just use the wet towel trick. Soak a towel in hot water and wrap it around your Xbox360. The hot water will cause the microchips to go back in place and your Xbox360 will be good as new!

Sonic Colores – It looks like it's going to be a good game because I love how the way it makes me grow.

Owch… well, you could use the time to do other things. When my XB360 went out for repairs/replacement (no red ring of death… just dead video) I finally went outside my house and found out about the wonders of the world. I finally remembered what those white puffy things floating in the big blue field above me were. :)

Very funny, that just makes it worse in the long run. :] ‘cause microchips to go back into place’ is a sideways way of saying ‘overheat the unit to melt the connective solder’

my buddy got the thermal paste and new spacers. worked like a charm. i however opted for the new xbox. but after that all the things i had acquired digitally before that point is only available to me, when i'm logged onto live.

Not sure if somebody kicked my arse in my sleep, or what, but it certainly feels like that's what happened. ugh

Nah, Red Ring “repairs” don't usually take the full three weeks that they say it will. They usually just swap it for another fixed-and-flashed console (if they have one) when they receive yours and ship the replacement on the same day. You're likely looking at about a week if that happens.

slept for 3 hours after school… actually quiet comfy :P
Then proceeded to work on a big final project. Somehow managed to finish about half of it in 2 hours.

This weekend : D&D BABY!!!

Y'know one thing I hate about cakes? Some of them are so beautiful that you don't want to eat them. But you HAVE to eat them before they become all moldy decomposed, etc… *sigh*…

I went and got that triple chocolate cake today. Stuck it in the fridge. Its expiration date is in December, so it'll still be edible for Thanksgiving. Now if only I can stop staring at it when I open the fridge to get something…. -_-

I'm a Type II diabetic. I'm not supposed to even THINK about eating the thing. It could kill me. Yet…

Maybe if I go eat a whole 5 pound ham then the temptation will go away…

Why do people to choose to have a break down in front of me? They even friggin' tell me how I'm the only person they can cry in front of. Like I'm somehow way stronger or more capable of dealing with their issues on top of my own? For crying out loud, everyone at this school who does well feels like they have no social life and don't go anywhere in their spare time. I'm no different. I don't even have the pleasure of a roommate to share a place with so it's not like I don't know how it feels to sit around being bored. I wish I were spending time in more places than school and sleep too. What the hell am I supposed to do about it other than suggest a possible thing to do and sit there? There's nothing I can do, and yet it always seems like everyone wants me to sit there and pat their back and go “it's alright, I'll make it better.”

Urgh. I just wish I didn't have to always be spending all my life taking care of everyone else. Just so I could focus on dealing with getting my own life straight and running. Call me resentful or whatever, but it gets old.

I guess it's even scarier when you realize that a well made fruitcake will last 25 years and still be edible…

Not to worry though. Mine will last as long as I keep it refrigerated…. and at least as long as I can resist the temptation to “attack” it… :)

Speaking of attacking food. Cheese and Bacon stuffed pizza burger

It would be shear suicide to attempt it alone, and might still be incredibly hazardous in a group, but I still kind of want to try this monstrosity.

…..

wow…..

That's a GREAT WAY to clog your arteries. Yikes!

*and I thought that six pound burger that you had to eat whole to win some kind of contest was bad… well… if you could travel to Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Pennsylvania and eat the whole thing by yourself within three hours…*

edit: yikes! now they have the 15 pound burger that you have to polish off in under five hours!!!

YOU'VE DISCOVERED ME!

i will no longer be posting on DD as ozone is actually a federal agent trying to catch a predator. To think he only found out because i love pan pizza, and stuffed crust. or the new pan stuffed crust.
——————————–

Hello this is Juan Miguel and i will be posting under this name from now on.

went and saw the men who stare at goats last night. Not worth the 9.00 a person movie tickets. (i always pay for two) but it would have been good if i paid for just myself, or waited to rent it.

Now maybe if I substitute the pizzas for veggie pizzas, and use ground turkey instead of ground beef…. and find something else to replace all the bacon…

On second thought, never mind. Somehow I don't think it's gonna work like that.
