The Lazy Podcast #10: Wiidiculous.

First of all, a note about the title: I’m waiting for BillyBob to come online sometime, because I rented Mario Strikers Charged to play with him ($10 for 7 days. jeez.) and it’s nearly been four days now, and he’s still not on. It’s getting Wiidiculous.

Okay, so, I’ve not posted in a while, nor have I posted a podcast since the 8th of October, so here we go. In this one, of course, I start of as usual, by playing my guitar poorly and talking about it. Towards the end I have actual information that only the people who listen to the end (or skip to) get to hear! That’s right, I’m withholding information, baby, and if you don’t like it, you can listen to the podcast.

Anyway, in this one I play chords. Yeah. Chords. Three of ‘em. D, G, and Em. Impressive? No, but I still like ‘em.

So without further adieu:

The years burn…

Alright, so, I’m bored and alone right now. Nearly all of my friends are out of town right now, either visiting family, or shopping. The few who aren’t are busy preparing to leave tomorrow. Usually on days like this, I’ll spend time with my parents, since I don’t often get to do that during the week. Unluckily, this is their day off, and they’re going out to a party with some friends, so, I’m left to find something else to do. It’s not like this hasn’t happened before, it’s just usually I have other places I turn to find someone to talk to, or something to do.

The first of these things is IRC. I hang out on DALnet with a few friends I’ve known online for years. They’re not a backup or contingency plan for if I have no one else to do anything with or talk to, and in no way do they take second place on my roster of people to talk to. In fact, there have been times when I’ve told Ben I was busy, and didn’t play a a game with him, ’cause I was chatting on the intarwebs. But, sadly, there’s no one online tonight. I have a backup for when this happens though, which is watching Chris Pirillo live, at http://live.pirillo.com , and talking to the people in the chat room there, as the antics of Chris Pirillo never get old. But of course, as luck would have it, he’s out on a date with his wife Ponzi, so there’s no one to talk to in that chat room either.

Sometimes I’ll hangout on freenode, and talk to people in #WordPress. But of course, it’s full of idlers right now. So, as I sit here, listening to The Smashing Pumpkins(a band I don’t necessarily like all that much, just three of their songs) I find myself with nothing to do, other than blog about it. How… teenaged angst/emo of me, eh?

One might suggest that I watch a movie to find something to do. Problem is, I’ve already watched three movies today. I saw Transformers this morning, watched Reign Over Me this evening with my parents, and watched a movie about farmers on –TBS– PeachtreeTV today, which really blew. One might then suggest that I read a book, but sadly, I’ve read everything I have right now. I’m just waiting for Halo: Contact Harvest and Assassin’s Creed: The Invisible Imam to be released, and then come in the mail.

One might also suggest that I play a game or something, seeing as I’m quite the gamer most often. But I’m gamed out right now. I spent nearly all of yesterday playing Team Fortress 2 with Ben and Quin. Seriously, like.. 6.5 hours of it in total, four of those in a row. I tried the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock demo on my 360 the other day, and while I thought it was really cool, I’m not sure I’d be willing to buy it. $100 is a lot of cash for a game I might grow tired of quickly. Those two games alone have made me kind of tired of gaming, but to top it all off, I tried the Hellgate: London demo a few hours ago, which I found to be absolutely horrendously awful. I hated it with nearly every fibre of my being. People keep claiming it’s like Diablo II in a lot of ways, and while it is, it just.. bothers me. I don’t like the story, the gameplay, or the graphics.

The one thing I did like, however, was one of the quests in which you’re tasked with finding a young boy’s prosthetic leg. He decides to call himself Wart. Seriously. Wart’s leg? That’s awesome, as any Diablo fan will attest to. (I also like Wirt’s Third Leg in WoW, that’s awesome.)

Anyway, this post is getting long, and I have put quite a lot of effort into it, for what little I’ll get back. To sum it up, I’m bored, and I want someone to talk to, or something to do. I’ll just have to keep looking, but I’m even out of podcasts to watch. I’m bored bored bored bored bored, and if I don’t find something to do soon, I’m probably going to end up just eating and watching Seinfeld. Though with my luck, there won’t be anything on TV at all.

One helluvan update.

Okay, so maybe “helluvan” isn’t a word. I refuse to say helluva followed by a vowel. Sosumi.

My first PC Gamer finally came here. It rocks.

I’ve added a new album to my gallery and upgraded it to a newer version. Took a while, but ’twas worth it.

Because I’m too cheap and/or lazy to buy a Flickr PRO account, and zeeble won’t buy me one either, I decided to go back to using G2 for more than just screenshots. So, in short, (or long, rather), I’ve added a Photos album, with at least one sub-album. W00. I also renamed the gallery “TLC_G2: The Gallery of The Lazy Canadian”, just because the weird name that was en francais I had before was… tres lame. ;)

In other news; I’ve really gotten into photography. At least for now, that is. I’m planning on taking a photography course as soon as school is back in session, but there’s always the chance that I won’t get in, seeing as the last two years I’ve applied, but not soon enough. Here’s hoping I get in. (Wish me luck!)

Other than that, my life has been as it always is during the summer: Long.

The last discs of Buffy S4 came, and I watched them.
The last discs of Medium S1 are here, I’m in the midst of watching them.
I got a copy of Azumanga Daioh, and I’ve been watching it.
I bought Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2 for $20ish, and I’m going to watch them.
I rented “She’s the Man” and “Pride & Predjudice (2005)”, and I watched them.
Ranma 1/2 DVDs are in the mail, and I’mm’a watch them.

Basically, other than take photos, and go for hikes/swimming, all I do during the summer is… watch TV or movies.

Boring, yes, but I can’t apply for a job ’til September as well, seeing as Ben apparently has an “in” with one of the places I want to apply at, and if I get a job during the school year, I get credit.

I asked my mom to pick up the “driver’s guide” book… manual… thing, so I can take the first test. Why? Because I’m so bored I’ve decided to learn to drive. I don’t really want to, but what else is there to do? At least this way when I want to go to Gibsons, I don’t have to convince one of my parents to go. (I could take the bus, yes, and I wouldn’t be bored, seeing as I’d have my PSP, but I don’t like taking the bus, because it limits the time I can spend wherever I’m going, since I have to keep the schedule in my mind.)

Eh.. what else (long post, ’cause I haven’t posted in a while.)

Oh.

I still haven’t recieved the free Gentoo CDs that I sent away for. I suppose I’ll just have to wait, but when they get here, I plan on setting aside a week to install it. :X

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time on IRC again lately, and I’ve met most of the people that I fell out of touch with again. I must say I’ve missed ‘em.

Anyway, for the last few sentences, I’ve just been trying to check every li’l category box. And while I’m certain I could easily do so, by yelling something out about norse mythology and … uncategories, I won’t. Though now that I have… I’ll check the rest of the boxes anyway. (My Xbox isn’t used much anymore, my dad is taking care of my old computer, I like playing M:TG, uncategories ftw.)

Mystery Solved

I recently signed up for a free usb thumbdrive from MS concerning Windows licencing stuff. Do I care? Probably not very much, but since they’re willing to give me the free thumbdrive, I’ll read it anyway. Who knows; maybe it’ll come in handy sometime down the road.

The ironic part?

I plan on using the thumbdrive to install Linux on my Xbox. Hurrah. ;-)

Check out the offer here.

Who are you?

I was in #WordPress on freenode earlier, and someone mistook me for someone else. Who, I cannot say, but here is the conversation that ensued:

lightdifference: ah. I thought you were someone else NobleArc.
NobleArc: Did you?
lightdifference: /random
NobleArc: I’m always me, as far as I know, but then again, I know quite a few people who would refer to themselves as “me.”

All I know is I confused the hell out of myself.
