So I need to watch more movies. For a starting point, I'm going to list the imdb top 250 and bottom 100, for my own reference as a to-do list, and to preserve the current state of the list so that i can spot new additions when i finish the first pass. Ones I have seen are bolded. Partially seen movies don't count. I guess you can turn it into some meme bullshit and repost it in your journal.

Top 250: 107 (42.8%) seen, and I own 2 movies on the list that i haven't watched yet. Not a bad start.
Bottom 100: 3 seen. However, I can't trust any worst movie list that fails to include Plan 9 from Outer Space, and misses Madmen of Mandorras aka They Saved Hitler's Brain aka The Amazing Mr. H.

I guess I'm going to use this thing more often

2009-02-11T03:38:33Z

So, here we attempt a grand journey of self-discovery. I'm working on losing weight and becoming more assertive. It's probably too late for me to be the next Crowley, but I've still got plenty of time to be an amoral son of a bitch. I'm going to start trying social things again, and just try to overcome the social anxiety through immersion and pure fucking dedication. Anybody want to help drag my ass out of the house?
Creative endeavors would be nice, but for now I need to deal with redoing the house so Katie and I have places to work. I'm probably going to attempt a big cleanout of the basement in the next month.

I can has self-actualization?

2009-02-10T02:51:54Z

So I'm trying to become the person I want to be. The tricky part is setting goals. And then it hit me, write my epitaph now, and then try to live up to it.

Here lies Steven
1982-2072
Ballsy Motherfucker

I think that if those were the best possible words to describe me, I probably did something awesome. But I'm open to suggestions. What do you people think my optimal epitaph should be?

the end of the world, and buttsex.

2008-12-30T08:07:16Z

Strange dreams last night. First, I was stuck in a town without houses. It was like an endless suburban office park. Small beige brick buildings, maybe 4-5 sharing a parking lot, with no labelled addresses, connected to unnamed streets stretching on forever. All the building have little brass name plaques on the front of the building, but the names are just random word salad. "Argh Pineapple Division", nonsensical shit like that. Some of them have the same names, but numbered in a series. Buildings of similar name are generally not near each other, and if they are, the numbers aren't continuous, even though I know they're numbered sequentially. So there's one building series relating to eschatology, and there's like 245 of them. I'm going to die soon, I know, and the world will die with me if I can't find building #1 and building #245. And they're nowhere to be found. I find buildings 2-7, sitting right next to each other, but building 1 still can't be found. Then I woke up, certain that death was imminent.

Then I went back to sleep again, and had several different dreams about gay sex. Maybe you were there.

That was my morning. My evening was work, and my night was playing Rock Band. It turns out you can drum and sing simultaneously, it's just really fucking hard. God damnit, Trent Reznor.

Wizard needs hardware badly. Elf shot the tech.

2008-12-21T22:30:10Z

Okay, so the integrated dsl modem/wireless router that came with our dsl has finally crapped out. It doesn't hold a connection longer than an hour or so, and won't connect for the vast majority of the day. So now I need a new dsl modem and wireless router. Don't care if they're integrated or not. Where's the best place to snag them on the cheap?

Halp!

2008-12-02T21:39:04Z

So I finally decided to catch up with mid-2007 and play Portal. My processor is up to the task, my video card is up to the task, all drivers are updated, steam is updated. The game loads, but will lag to unplayability within a minute of starting a new game. Would anyone be able to help with this? The first person to successfully help gets a free copy of Ichi the Killer!

Vacation

2008-11-06T06:59:19Z

I'm on vacation until next Tuesday. People should come and hang out.
Thursday night is Guitar Hero, DDR, and miscellaneous gaming.
Friday is board gaming, all goddamn day.
Saturday is hanging with Katie.
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are all free. Probably movie-watching and miscellaneous gaming.

Post in comments if you're planning on coming.

Friends, I write to you with sad news. My digestive tract is in ruins and I can no longer consume your human food. My belly can only be filled with consumer electronics and rare board games. Please, I beg of you, Buy my stuff so that I can eat another day. The emptiness of my heart demands a PSP, and the gnawing void in my bowels demands a copy of Chainsaw Warrior.

So yeah, selling lots of stuff on ebay so Katie can get a laptop, and possibly me as well. There will be large amounts of RPG books, comics, and PS1 games going up over the next couple days.

Glorious Masses

2008-03-07T18:46:33Z

I am planning on making an awesome party at my house. It will involve my game collection, Brawl, and perhaps booze.

Who is interested? I want to make plans.

YOU SHOULD LET ME KNOW SO I CAN SHUT UP TO MY WIFE ABOUT HOW LONELY I AM.

Jesus christ, this is shaping up to be a crappy workday. We've been open all of 19 minutes and I've already been rickrolled, had a cluster of tards with brohawks, and been asked for City of Villains time cards.

So the Anonymous vs. Scientology has got me thinking. We need to start setting trolling groups against fringe religions on a regular basis. These could be the greatest fights ever. I'm thinking the GNAA versus Wiccans or possibly Stormfront against the Church of Satan. I would be a happy man.

Your whole family is made of meat

2008-02-08T04:40:54Z

Life is both chaotic and intermittently lame. Starting a Triple-A in the morning, sounds like a decent job.

A Call to Action
Gaming at my house saturday, Scientology protest sunday. You should join us for glory, and possibly honor. Contact me for details on gaming or protesting. Sense of humor required.

Also, If somebody wants to get me out of the house in the near future, it would be appreciated. I'm alternately wanting to be with people and wanting to be a recluse.

All I Want

2007-11-09T17:01:20Z

Living with Gene, Conrad, and Katie makes me happy. Each day is almost like an anime, and I enjoy it. I usually don't like anime either.

Conrad is growing up and looking like me more and more each day. Such a handsome boy! I hope he inherits my bitterness, love for gaming, and terrible taste. Some day, when I pass away and into a pile of meat, my son will inherit all my terrible and that will make the world whole. He will pass along my life and glory.

On to Katie. Ever since her medicine kicked in, she has become more confident and it has only enhanced her beauty. I watch her everyday; she has a renewed interest in life. It bring me joy to see her actively interact with Conrad and I am glad she enjoys him so much. She has given up so many material possesions lately and the house looks so much better because of it. I think I have fallen in love with her more deeply than I could imagine. I feel so bad for hurting her last year.

Gene and I are a good team at Game Nite. Gene handles crowd control and I handle the boring stuff. After work, we come home and hang out. It's really nice to have someone like him around. I think he has taught Katie some good traits, like how to not care what people think of you and that you can cut people out of your life because they are drama queens.

I am a little stressed out. Work gets to me sometimes, even though I mostly enjoy it. After Christmas, I am going to look for a new job because I like having nice things and Katie deserves so much more than scraping by. I need to set a good example for Conrad. I need to be able to pay for my car.

So, today I have made a resolve. All my enemies are made of meat. I shall eat them between a kaiser roll with ketchup. Everything tastes better with ketchup. I think that the Statue of Liberty would taste better with it as well. I think I'll eat my couch. I think I will eat my Playstation so I can absorb it's power. Domo domo domo domo Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!111!!!#$()*#NDIO

KTHX bai now. I have to go read Something Awful and smoke some cigarettes because they make me look cool. I have to get the lung parasites out. I have to make the pain within me go away. I am more sad on the inside than a person who didn't eat lunch. I am the man who ate the universe.

As the first phase of my glorious 25th birthday celebrations, we will be hosting a party. But, this isn't just any party. This is the Saddest Day Party. You cry, you lose. For the softhearted types, it will be an emotional day. For the hardhearted assholes, it will be a callousness marathon that no one wins. We will see into your heart, and you too will cry.

There will be three movies:
Schlinder's List
Grave of the Fireflies
Open slot (I'm narrowing down depressing movies, but it's still open to suggestions)

After the movies, probably board games. Selection will vary depending on whatever the fuck I feel like playing, but Arkham Horror is definitely a possibility.

Festivities start at 1. Any earlier and I will put you to work setting up.

Please RSVP so we can know how much space we'll need, and bring some food, drink, or offering to the house (we are poor!).

If you love me, bring me a pack of cloves. Bring me booze. Bring me a funny story.

Edit: So apparently I'm an idiot and forgot to put a date. Sad movie day is Sunday, November 4th.

rinae posting for neph:

Okay. I have worked 98 hours since Friday. Please help.

If anyone wishes to help us with the rest of the moving at Game Nite, please show up at anytime today and help us get rid of the rest of the fixtures in the store.

There will be soda and frequent buyer cards for those who help. Also my personal gratitude and thanks.

If you need directions call Katie tommorrow at 314-894-2684. Please feel pity for her as she gets to work her first Mother's Day. All donations of your time go into the "get me laid" fund. So help!

Also, 28 weeks later = teh awesome.

Call for Aid 2: Electric Boogaloo

2007-05-07T06:57:16Z

So we didn't get everything moved. If I can drag my ass out of bed early enough, I'm going in for a nine-hour shift tomorrow, going home to rest for a couple hours, and then returning for another four hours. Any assistance at all would be highly appreciated. Don't have any cash to offer, but the favor still stands. I could even lift the fugly restriction, if you are strong like ox. Any help before 9:30 pm would be arranging the new store, or cleaning out/breaking down fixtures in the old one. After 9:30 would be moving additional fixtures/files/useful objects to the new store, plus finishing cleaning out the old store. I don't like relying on other people for help, but I'm approaching the limit of how much energy I can put into this right now.

On another note, once this shit is done, I should be able to finish working on the house. After that's done, I will hopefully have time for more fun things and/or going back to school.

Everybody!! Assistance Required!

2007-05-06T23:01:17Z

We're moving the store tonight, and the employees I was expecting for backup flaked out on me. If you don't have anything going on tonight, you should come on down to the store and help us move. We'll be working till midnight or 1 AM. There will be some form of pizza provided, as well as my undying gratitude. If you can help, give me a call on my cell. 314-766-2767

Edit: If you help, I will personally owe you one favor, to be redeemed at any time. This can be sexual, assuming you aren't fugly.

Store is moving within the mall, not out of it as I originally hoped. Crunched some truly grim fucking numbers. Depressing family revelations. I am physically, mentally, and emotionally drained.

On the plus side, I am not resposible for "Richard McBeef." And that's a satisfaction I can take to my grave. I have not inflicted something immortally terrible on the world. Yet. I feel the calling of terrible film. Or Guerilla Installation art.

I need a hot shower, a blowjob, twenty thousand dollars, a lengthy massage, three bottles of thirty-year-old scotch, some cock, a carton of Djarum Blacks, two week's vacation, a talented therapist, and a slow death to all my foes, preferably in that order. Anyone not bearing these gifts can also substitute warm greetings, a pack of Sampoerna 324s, or perhaps a friendly game of Hive.

Edit: Ended up talking about Fight Club to the cashier at Border's the other day. He said "I should rent that again. I was like 10 when it came out." Jesus, that makes me feel old. Also, why is my Gunbound full of 12-year-olds and teh haxorz?

Movie

Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie tonight at 10:10 at Des Peres. Meet at the theater or meet me at the store before 9:30. Playing Arkham Horror at 5.

Fun!

Local people should join me tomorrow for entertainment. At the store we will be playing Arkham Horror. It's for up to eight people, so you should come. Afterwards, I'll be getting together with some peeps from Crestwood to go see Grindhouse. Cthulhu game + cheesy horror FTW. I'll figure out what theater tomorrow during the afternoon, so check back or call for details.

Happy whatever

Hopefully everybody had a happy valentine's day. Mine was fantastic, but now I'm at work and grumpy. How hard is it for people to check their damn answering machines? Or possibly check back when they've placed an order? I'm sorry you didn't get your copy of bass fishing monopoly for christmas, but it's not my fault you can't listen to your answering machine and now I'm stuck with a game that will never sell. Niche retail sucks.

Well, that was bitchier than I was planning on. Oh well. Link time. In an effort to distract people from the fact that the band peaked over a decade ago, Nine Inch Nails is releasing a dystopian concept album promoted by a big ol' ARG. Blah blah theocracy, blah bioterrorism. The depressing part is that there's potential for a clever and engaging, if unoriginal, story here, and there's decent art direction being thrown at it. The problem is that for all this work, the payoff is being sold something. More energy is now put into the marketing of products than the products themselves. Not an original observation, I know, but it bears repeating. Jesus, I feel old.

Anything about non-electronic gaming will be headed to my work blog. Hopefully being job-related will actually make me want to update it, but we'll see.

For local peeps: They Might Be Giants will be playing a free show for Mardi Gras. I'll be there, and maybe you will be too.

So, K-rad and the Wii both came home Sunday. Both are equally awesome.

Very stressed out, but having fun with the Wii. If you wear a baby in a sling while you play, it's an automatic +2 to difficulty. Mini-reviews of games to come up soonish, maybe a couple later today. As a side note, anybody picked up Monkeyball for the Wii? I'm on the lookout for another party game, and it seems like a fair choice.

Also, those of you that managed to snag one, feel free to post your wii code. Mine is 7995 5776 0309 9509. My friends list is sadly lacking. On the plus side, they can be posted in public forums without fear of spamming b/c both parties must add each other. Off to thanksgiving the first. I should see a fair number of your at ruinist thanksgiving.

To quote Randall from Clerks, "This job would be great if it weren't for the fucking customers." Mostly true in my case. I enjoy finding products to carry, I enjoy demoing games, I like selling them to people and trying to find the best game for them. I feel kinda sad when they ask "Is it like monopoly?" I die a little inside when someone buys LCR. I get a little annoyed with people that come in, look around in distaste, and leave. I get more annoyed with "Why would people still play board games?" I hate whiny mallrats with every fiber of my being. I was slightly amused by this douchebag.

Regulars are a whole other story, though. Some of them I like. They're fun to talk to, make the day go faster, and buy things occasionally, which means I get to keep eating. Some of them I hang with outside of work. These are outweighed by the bad regulars. One actively encourages other people not to spend money at the store, but will hang out for hours. There's a teenage angst-bucket who alternates between telling me that "tarno" cards will summon the devil, and confiding in my his psychic intuitions of the future. Some of them are just dangerously, brutally retarded. The funny thing is that the really obnoxious ones never spend money. Ever. Most of the regulars that are big spenders will just walk in, plunk down a purchase, chat for a minute and leave. Once someone becomes a regular, the money spent (in total quantity, not average over time) is usually inversely proportional to time spent in store. Odd.
