gogmagog: The Fourth Doctor from <i>Doctor Who</i> (WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY)

For some reason I'm in a mood to rewatch Kyou Kara Maou!...maybe I'll do that once I finish my work.

...man, the Heroes file I downloaded last night turned out to be some kind of fucked-up file, and now I have to re-download and wait until TONIGHT to watch it. I AM WEEPING COPIOUSLY Y'ALL. ;_;

I have decided that I'm going to install Yellow Dog Linux on my PS3, mostly for emulation and M.U.G.E.N. purposes. Just imagine how sweet it would be to play Seiken Densetsu 3 in English on the PS3, or an epic Jojo vs. Ryu M.U.G.E.N. match on my HDTV...I get all tingly thinking about it. (And of course I'd love to play Persona 2: Innocent Sin on my PS3, if that English translation ever comes out.)

So I imagine I'll be updating with the results of my progress, just so that y'all other PS3 users out there on the flist (all...two of you that I can think of, who don't seem particularly interested in homebrew orz BUT WHAT ABOUT EPIC DIO X BRIDGET BATTLES THAT DON'T INVOLVE SHOTARAPE A LA 4CHAN) can learn from my progress and inevitable mistakes if you wish to do the same. I won't be able to do it until probably later this week, though - I need to pick up a USB keyboard and mouse before I even think about installation.

Let's Positive Linking!
- Crono learns Slash. Old-school CT fans should enjoy this (I especially like Marle's picture-perfect win pose).
- Did Jesus affirm a gay couple in the Bible? You learn the most interesting things from fandom_wank religious discussions...I'd never even heard about this before but I find it pretty convincing linguistically.
- Jesus vs. Jeezus. Mildly amusing, and in the vein of the last link. I PREFER JESUS TO JEEZUS THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

"I've got herpes! ...uh, no, syphilis!"

Some of the interesting quotes I've discovered in my cursory survey of 17th-century alchemical texts:

"Some seek to fill the insatiate Gulf of their unfathom'd wills, in vain pleasure: Another seeks to mount the slippery stairs of staggering honor, and to make a perpetuity of his off-spring: Another digs in the Earth, and is shipwrack'd with covetous dunghil-passions."

"Whoso seeks the philosopher's secrets in turds looseth his labour, and in the end finds nothing but deceit."

And my favorite...

"All Flatulent meats, you shall recommend to Marriners and Ship-boyes, whose windy reluctancies may help in a Calm to fill the main Sheet."

To be fair, I'm like 99% certain that last one is from a parody of the "regular" Hermetic texts but IT'S SUCH A GOOD PARODY AND THE REGULAR TEXTS ARE SOMETIMES SO EFFED UP THAT I CAN'T TELL FOR SURE x_x
