Sadly, I have accepted that I will never be a pirate or a superhero or a ninja. ;_;

First, some random stuff:

- Happy birthday to ahebert!

- You know, it's ridiculous how consistently good the Suikoden albums are. (All like two dozen or however many of them there are.) I've been going on a downloading spree from the Galbadia Hotel videogame soundtracks download section. (They also have quite a few Megaten albums, including Punitive Dance, if any of y'all are interested and don't know about it already.) But seriously, Suikoden's had everything from Celtic to jazz to orgel (music box) to piano albums, and they're ALMOST ALL GOOD. x_x

I also like how some of them take songs I never particularly noticed in the original (like the piano version of the first Suikoden's "Dancing Girl") and rearrange it to the point where I'm like, "wow, that's actually a really pretty melody, I never noticed that before."

- I have discovered recently that I have phone phobia. In fact, I think I've always had it. I hate talking on the phone to people, and avoid it whenever possible. This is a completely general and impersonal thing - even when it comes to people I like very much and know very well and have no problem talking to in person, I always feel like I have trouble talking to them on the phone. And this is even more true for people I don't know particularly well - even if I'd be fine talking to them in person or by e-mail, on the phone I'm always an incoherent mess and it just gets bad.

So, in conclusion, phone conversations = TEH EBIL, and from now on I will try to engineer things so I have to have them as little as possible.

- Also, Saturday marked my return to IRC for the first time in a long while (like, since about halfway through my year in England). I hadn't realized, but I'd missed it! :O

...And to lead in to the Suikoblog, here's an interview on SuikoTactics. My favorite part:

Matsukawa: Since Kyril and Andarc are simpletons, we made Seneca the comic relief to contrast them.

SO TRUE. XD

Let's Positive Linking!
- First face transplant recipient doing well. I dunno, I think it would be weird wearing part of someone's face - a little too Texas Chainsaw Massacre for me. Still, diff'rent strokes and all that.
- I wanna go to the Japanese penis festival! It looks fun! :D
- Cthulhu Family Circus. (From jantalaimon.) Just what Family Circus needed to actually be funny - Lovecraft writing the scripts!
- Also, some very disturbing communities firestorm717 linked to that promptly BROKE MY BRAIN AUGH: hitlerslash, nazifetisch and kinkynakednazis. Not safe for work or if you're allergic to bad Photoshopped pr0n of Hitler and Goebbels gettin' it on.
- CNN reports on CNN. What I love is how they've basically written up an ad for their own service as an OMG IMPORTANT NEWS STORY. x_x
- Magazine Covers from the Future. (This and the above one from angrybabble.) Pretty funny, requires Flash.
- Microsoft sued over Xbox 360 glitch. Wow, that was fast. XD
- Sexy Bible calendar to be released. I love the pastor's line about teens committing to the Bible "with their hair and skin." Creepy much?
