I had a dream

I keep getting this song in my head because of the civilization revolution music. It has this one part that sounds like Regina Spektor. Not even one of the better-known or recent ones. A bizarre one. Did you know that the German word for a “song that gets stuck in your head” is Ohrwurm? Yeah, they made a whole word for it.

I’ve been hard at work on some new stuff for the site Pictures, videos, everything!! I’m always open to ideas, tell me what makes you horny…

Speaking of horny, here is a sweet new picture of me:

I took a bunch of pictures with a PSP, because I cannn and because Loco Roco is a really fun game. They’re so… cute…

I WENT

I went there, finally. But I almost passed out on the elliptical!! I knew I should have eaten more. I was trying not to eat too much so my stomach wouldn’t be jiggling around getting grumpy, but then I just ended up feeling faint from not eating. It’s probably better to overeat than undereat when it comes to cardio. I at least went for half the amount of time I usually get on…

SO MANY Civ Revolution achievements, so little time. I got a whole bunch. I read online what they were. I mean, the little Xbox thingy tells you too, but then you gotta click in and out and in and out… and in… and out… and I was like “fuck no” and went online. I was skimming some of the strategies for the harder ones. I mean, some of them looked impossible, like Win the game with only one city… or Win a Domination Victory on Deity… which is capturing everyone else’s capital on the hardest difficulty. So I tried the One City one and got it pretty easily… it’s a lot easier when you play the scenario where you already have all the techs in the future. I mean, I’m sure none of you know what the hell I’m talking about Basically I sat around for a while and played a video game about taking over the world… without actually taking over the world.

I’m a pretty good multitasker. While I do all this, of course, I do work on the computer. I was walking around listening to some depressing news about how screwed we are if the earth gets hit by a large asteroid. Apparently we’d all be gone within a day. Thanks Bill Bryson… I guess… I’m going to listen to more of this history book on my flight, which I’m excited about, if I’m not too tired… which is totally plausible

One of my friends is visiting from out of town, so I couldn’t make it to the gym I will go tomorrow!

What also happened is CIVILIZATION REVOLUTION. I’m going to pretend that not going to the gym is TOTALLY UNRELATED to this new video game. It’s supposed to be simpler than Civ IV, and it is, but it’s still a lot of fun. The games still take a while, and I can micromanage some things, so it’s all good. I basically try to get a bunch of defensive units and expand a little until I get riflemen and tanks and roll over everyone. There is no other strategy in my opinion. Tech towards tanks There’s also these ancient artifacts you can go find if you get a boat early on, so it’s worth it to go take a boat out and explore. The best one is finding Atlantis, because you “get” an “explosion” of “happiness” or err wait, that’s just what I want. In the game you get a lot of bonuses. It also makes me happy. Civilization is going to eat me aliiiive
