Best. Child. Ever.

EVER.

This is one year old Melodie, she knows video games better than most grownups. While this cute little one year old sits in her high chair with cookies her father shows her a whole lot of flash cards, with video game characters on them. The best thing: she gets them all, in a cute little adorable kiddy way. Watch how pro this little girl is. Oh by the way, she gets them ALL right



Melodie's responses:
Showled Shake (Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid)
Mun Up! (One up - Mario)
Hawlocard (Alucard - Castlevania)
Gwoooobbaaaa (Goomba - Mario)
Tonic (Sonic - Sonic)
Yo-shi! (Yoshi - Mario)
Medaman (Megaman - Megaman)
Pikatue-chi! (Pikachu - Pokemon) Pika Pika!
Katos (Kratos - God of War)
Link (Link - tLoZ)
Cowd (Cloud - FF7)
? (can't figure it out)
Samas (Samus - Metroid)
Krbie (Kirby - Kirby)
Ukakon (DK - Donkey Kong)
? (can't figure it out)
Meter Tief (Master Chief - Halo)
Twiforce (Triforce - tLoZ)
Tantae (Dante - Devil May Cry)
Soeboy (Sackboy - Little Big Planet)

She's awesome, and... um... if someone could pay the bail when I attempt a kidnap on this child... that would be pretty OK with me.

I love the boxing.

Well I've already said what I got for Christmas, but the day after was much better. Since it was boxing day everywhere had a massive sale, and some stores opened really early. Futureshop was on of these stores. For a while I had been looking at getting myself a DSLR camera (a.k.a. the big digital cameras... like photographers use) because I love taking pictures of well... everything that isn't people. My mom had agreed that she would get me one as a graduation present, but I got futureshop's boxingday email and it showed a really amazing camera package. I talked to my mom, and asked if I used the money I got for christmas, and the money in my bank account if I could get the camera early. She said that we could go and see if they have it. Since it was a "door crasher" deal it meant that it was only valid for the first hour the store opened... in this case 6:00 in the morning. What that meant is I had to get up at 5:00am.

My mom and I got there at 5:55am and the line was already huge.

If you know that complex, then you'll understand that at 6:00 in the morning (when the store opened) that line (represented by blue line) was into the far side of the value village parking lot.

Since they were only letting so many people in at a time (so it didn't get chaotic) my mother was constantly looking to see what everyone walking out of the store was getting, to see if anyone had gotten my prize.

We finally got in at 6:13 and went straight to the camera area, pulled out the print out, and went "hey this is what I want". The nice employee assisted in me getting my camera, and the whole bundle, plus some other stuff!

Here is what I got on that fine, fine day, and what I got it for:

Canon EOS Rebel XS

Canon 18-55mm IS lens
+
Canon battery grip

Canon DSLR batter (x2)
+

Canon Camera bag (high grade)
=
$899.99
$499.99

16gig memory card
=
$19.99
+
Futureshop 3 year warranty
=
$110.00
---------------------------------------------------------

??? (under $1000)


I have quite a lot of stuff for my camera now. The only thing is, I don't know when I'll have it for good. Right now I'm in the trial "you technically shouldn't get this till you graduate (I got it on grad credit + my money + 18th birthday credit) buuutt...." period.

So if I do get to keep it now there is just one problem. I'm not quite sure how to use it effectively... or to take good pictures yet... just... pretty OK pictures.

Luckily that's where this handy thing comes in handy:

this post was especially for Holly Eustace, who wanted me to specifically blog about my camera.

Happy whatever-we-call-it-now.

I'm off to my extended family's for Christmas dinner and presents now. I'll be getting back late on the 24th so I don't know if I'll have a chance to say what has to be said.

Marry Christmas
Happy Hanuka
Happy Holidays.
(fucking political correctness).

There will definitely be a post on the 25th, because everyone needs to know the cool swag I got for Christmas.... even though I already know (flashlight + tape + scissors are the ultimate tools for finding out what your presents are, I get a lot of cool things, but you have to wait to christmas to find out what, just like I have to wait until christmas to play with them)

Shout out at.

Fuck you VG cats, fuck you.

I have decided that I am no longer going to check the webcomic VG cats, they have let me down. They finally updated for the first time in oh... I don't know... a month. It wasn't even their main comic they updated, it was their side comic. How lame are they?

I don't even care what they say "oh it takes a long time to draw a comic". Bullshit. If xkcd and penny arcade can update without fail Monday, Wednesday, and Friday then VGcats once a week 'deadline' should be easy to meet. They aren't even as graphically intense as other comics, other comics that update, more then once a week, without fail.

For instance: Looking for Group. Its a extremely witty and amusing comic. They update twice a week, without fail. Its drawn on photoshop and it is also a lot more graphically intense then anything VG cats, penny arcade, and xkcd have put out (not knocking xkcd or penny-arcade, because they're still win). Oh, did I mention that they are also working on making a movie at the same time?

Lame VGcats, just... lame.

omg i has a grl friend

Lulz.

I was playing possibly the most amusing flash game. ever. Its called "Achievement Unlocked" and pretty much... the whole point of this little game is to unlock all 99 achievements. As you'll notice as soon as you start it up: you get an achievement. This is pretty much the trend of the game, everything you do gets you an achievement. FUN!

Try to get all 99 as fast as you can.
(there little yellow thing on the side is a scroll bar, you can check out the achievements there).

Achievement Unlocked [thats the game]

That is my score.
I'm good at getting achievements.

Oh, if you wondering about the humorous (to me at least) name of this blog, it is because of a fun event that happened afterwords. Someone started being a bastard, so I slammed him. Enjoy:

To do list.

For English class I have to do Journals on the Holocaust, and it is really sucky and 'depressing'. I decided to take a quick break and have some fun blogging.

While watching shows, and such with my girlfriend I find myself frequently looking at some of the characters and commenting "she's pretty attractive, I would sleep with her (or him)". Generally she agrees. We have a very open and amusing relationship. In no way are these people we actually know, or have a chance of meeting. In most cases it is the character that I would totally have carnal knowledge with.
Real Women (seem to all be blonde):
  1. Madame De Pompadour - Doctor Who "Girl in the Fireplace"
  2. Kara Thrace (Starbuck) - Battlestar Galactica
  3. Rose Tyler - Doctor Who.
    For her, it all depends on what shes wearing, and how her hair is if I actually find her to be attractive.

Real Men (I'd totally be gay for them, if they would be gay for me):
  1. David Tennant - The Tenth Doctor - Doctor Who.
    This man has probably the coolest hair ever, and he is one of the people that I wouldn't care if he was the doctor or David Tennant.
  2. Captain Jack Harkness - Doctor Who/Torchwood
    He's a big manwhore in the show, and is totally bi. In real life his actor is gay. So he should be easy.
  3. Angel - Angel

Animated/Video Game Women (if they were real, I would sleep with them):
  1. Samus Aran - Metroid
  2. Seras Victoria - Hellsing
    The only anime woman with large breasts that I don't think looks weird with them. Plus: gotta love the uniform. Also: one of the glassy anime that never had a crotch shot of her (not disappointed)
  3. Visa - Bloodelf - World of Warcraft
  4. Rosette Christopher - Chrono Crusade
    Totally. Hot. Nun.
  5. ? (don't remember name) - Rosario + Vampire
    Lamer picture then the one I had originally uploaded, but apparently it didn't work for some so.
  6. Yuna - Final Fantasy X

anyway, back to the Holocaust, that cheered me up.
