Are you ready? 3! 2! 1! Go!

So, after that last incredibly depressing post I felt it important to post something more upbeat in case anyone ever does wander across this they won't think that my mental state is permanently suicidal. I don't have time to be permanently suicidal, and with that, on with the show!

So, things that have recently annoyed me include the fact that my brother came home and was mooching around my room again. He even nosed into some of the cards my online friends sent me via snail mail, so that's pretty rude. He also took the smaller monitor, which is annoying, seeing as how I'm not sure who owns it, but he's never gonna put it to use. Git. Also annoying is Steve, who insists on an astonishing amount of yelling. Not good at the best of times, but SO MUCH WORSE when you've had an all-nighter, because everything seems so much louder anyway. Considering the work we do on Monday and Tuesday doesn't need him addressing us all anyway, I don't see why he speaks so loud as to do so when talking to the person RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. I bet that he's collapsed at least one ear at some point. Anyway, enough whining.

You need to sample the deliciousness that is Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, or, Elite Beat Agents. Hard as nails made out of solid spoonium (seriously, a dessert spoon is surprisingly dense, managed to break a hairbrush with EASE) at harder difficulties (oh, and if anyone particularly epic at the game reads this: I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD YOU ARE YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE OF THAT YOU'RE GOOD) but very enjoyable when you pull it off. I've been using a video of the last stage played on all four difficulties simultaneously (Rolling Stones song Jumpin' Jack Flash, if you care to know) as some sort of cheeriness enhancer, because the noise of all the beats being hit adds an extra layer of percussion that sounds so wonderful to the ear. Another game that needs a look at is Drawn to Life on the DS, but I can't be bothered with an extended speech about that one right now, so either do your own research or trust me on this 'un.

Well, I'm running out of things to sa-oh! Started learning Perl as a means to create an IRC bot (Other things that I don't care about include that Python/Ruby/Your Mother is a superior language, you don't need to inform me, there's doubtless plenty of people to contradict any opinion one of you may have so quit picketing my e-lawn) which is going well so far, although the writers of the basebot module apparently had some weird thing going considering how it's impossible to send, say, the /part command through the bot. I'll probably look at the libraries on which it builds on later, see if I can find a hole to do my work on.

Okay, NOW I'm running low on dialogue, so.. yeah.

Thanks go out to Sarah, Hannah and Chris for being around when it mattered most, and James for not making too big a deal out of my 2 absences last week.

See yah!

But it's all right now, back in the gas
