I bought No More Heroes yesterday. Fun game and I love the arcade-style sounds and the ranking. It makes me wanna turn it off and play my NES. I want to buy Donkey Kong, but the best price I've seen is $14, which is bullshit. I found it for $6 on the GBA, but I want the actual NES controller in my hand.

Back to No More Heroes and the Wii in general. I've had my Wii for awhile, but except for Wii Sports, I've left it alone. It's good they changed the name from Revolution to Wii. It's far from a revolution and it's a little tedious when you have to move the controller in a certain direction every time you finish off an enemy in No More Heroes. But I do like when two attacks connect at the same time and you have to move the Wii mote or whatever in a circle. It reminds me of the "beam struggles" from Budokai 3. You have to put some real physicality into winning one of those against a human player. You put your palm on the two joysticks and rotate them as fast as you can. It also helps if you tap every button. With Wii, it can also get you breathing hard, but only with the bosses. And that's cool. The thing I don't like about the finishing moves is there's nothing involved. If you fuck up and do it the wrong way, you have many re-tries. I have got to get the Metal Slug trilogy. *__* What ever happened to arcade machines in places like McDonald's and Taco Bell?

Oh yeah, and I finally got Guitar Hero (I don't have enough friends for RockBand). It's one of those games that are very gratifying when you get it right.

One last thing, they should make a RE with Wesker as the protagonist. He's always been my favorite character, next to Jill.

I forgot how to write. I write down words and sentences, but that's as far as my mind goes. The other necessary pathways are closed down. I can't... see around the sentences. I can't tell if sentence 1 goes with sentence 2. I can't tell if it's relevant, worded properly, etc. It's just a sentence. Nothing more.

Writing is all subtleties. You know they're there (especially when they're not), but they're really hard to put into words. In the later chapters of my book, I know there's something wrong with the words/sentences (not the actual content), but I don't know what it is. I noticed it with someone else's book and since "something's fucked up with this" is not proper for critiquing, I didn't bring it up. I've been thinking it has something to do with them being the last chapters. Everything is said and done. It's kind of like those mine cart levels in Donkey Kong (or any other level where you ride on something throughout). You still have to jump, dodge, kill enemies, and collect bonus items, but you don't have to press forward and Y. I have a feeling this analogy needs more explanation, but fuck it. I'm gonna go play video games now.

I drove about 3,000 miles in the span of seven days. I pretty much toured the eastern coast of America, then I went to Chicago to see one of NIN's last shows. My entire trip was surprisingly uneventful, no offense to the parties involved. The show sucked for many reasons. I mostly blame it on the old age of NIN fans. They just wanna stand around, not get violent and mosh like you're supposed to at a rock concert. Instead of standing around in the crowd, I went up to the balcony and took a thirty minute nap.

I started my trigonometry class today. It gave me a lot of ideas for my book. Speaking of, in the next day or two I'll be adding three more pages to chapter two. It ended too abruptly, like I was rushing through it and being lazy.

I almost have one chapter of my new story Tshchedushnu done. It should come out to 8-10 regularly spaced pages. I don't want this book to be 130,000 words. I'd prefer it to be a series. WAtCoaDS turned out to be so long because I like to write the progression of things. Sort of like growth instead of a series of events. The length of scenes, happenings, whatever seem more real to me if they're longer, especially if it's something big or important. That might be the way it is for most people. So, I don't know how I'll feel about Tshchedushnu. It'll be more fast-paced, but in the end if I do want it to be a series, I'll have room to expand certain ideas and themes.

Oh yeah, and I think I remember why my revised chapter of WAtCofDS isn't coming up. I think it's too long. I'll be re-submitting it in two parts, so ignore those deviation alerts. On the subject of my novel, I think I can go ahead and change my dA classification to Novelist, instead of Wannabe. Except for a little more editing/revising and a couple more scenes, I'm done.

Someone said my main character was unlikable because he used drugs. I found that kind of funny because of how opposite that is for me. When I was reading Dreamcatcher by Stephen King, I was thoroughly disappointed when a joint got thrown away. In fact, I had to put the book down for a little while. Anyways, to give this section a point, it kind of worries me that what I like, a lot of people tend to dislike.
I did once read a book solely because it pissed me off and the main character did everything I wouldn't have done. I was very engrossed in the book, though. I read it straight through almost. When I finished, I wasn't like, "What a great book." I threw it away enraged, actually. But, quite captivated, I read it.
I've browsed the literature on this site and I've read some really horrible stuff that people seem to think is great because it involves something they like. Homosexual vampires, for instance. I guess what I'm saying is, I hope publishers have more discretion than that.

I guess I'm just gonna dive right into the Engineering courses and say fuck the Environmental ones. That was my plan, anyways, except I was supposed to get a degree before taking Engineering classes, but that degree no longer exists.

I got a pretty badass idea for a story, though. For some reason I've yet to formulate, a woman in between the ages of 20 and 22 obtains the power to understand completely anything involving engineering. Civil engineering. I don't know too much about electrical (at the moment) and I'm not concerned with software.
For those of you that don't know what engineering involves, it can be "summed" up as an understanding of your spatial environment. Well, one aspect of it. That's the aspect I plan to focus on in the next book I'll write. I'm going to put this one in front of Loires, because it will help me study.
