A trip, life immitating anime, the Oscars and a revelation

Blogger! Work properly, damnit! *bitchslap*

Blah, I got back from my grandmother's yesterday. Luckily we were only staying the night, or I would have freaked out even more than I did >_<

See, my grandma isn't a nice, little old lady. Yes, she is a little old lady, but she is the most depressing, irritating, racist, whiny, and just downright negative person I know! Basically, if you want an idea of what it's like to spend time with my grandma, just imagine a Dementor dressed up in a KKK robe, and give it the ability to complain, and that's my grandma. Oh, and make it hyper critical of everything.

While at grandma's, I did my usual, and hid down in the basement/rumpus room until I was called for. It worked out fairly well.

Now, the one thing I actually like at my grandma's place is her shower. She has a really bitchin' shower. The only problem with the shower is that spiders like to live in the bathroom where it's located, and they have this habit of trying to rape me. Don't give me that look, I'm serious! On three separate occasions I've had a spider dangerously close to my naughty bits, I've had one on my ass, and one on each boob. Never on my arm, or my hands or feet, just sexually related areas! It's like a bloody tentacle porn, except with spiders instead of tentacles... and no actual sex involved... but the experience is traumatic none the less!

Anyway, I wanted a shower like you wouldn't believe (because grandma likes to employ us as slave labour when we visit, so I ended up having to clean out her filthy garage), so I went into the bathroom, my trusty spider killing golf club in hand, and I started poking around the place to see if anything came out of the woodwork (luckily nothing did, because I was having this horrible vision of this story Ruth told us, about this big ass spider that had been outside of her house, and when her sister had poked it with a broom, it had chased them x_x).

So I get in the shower, and I shower away, and then when I finished and turned off the water, I thought I felt some soap still on my left leg. So I grab the shower head, my hand on the knob to turn the water on, when I look down and see this GIANT FUCKING SPIDER CRAWLING UP MY THIGH.

To say I panicked a bit would be putting it mildly. I ended up screaming obscenities for nearly five minutes, and I dented the shower head when I used it to repeatedly beat the spider into a gooey pulp on the shower floor. Of course my antics freaked out my parents, and my grandmother started saying that I was either insane or mentally challenged and that I should be locked away or sent to a shrink or something else that I didn't bother paying attention to because HELLO? THERE WAS A MUTHERFUCKIN' SPIDER ON MY MUTHERFUCKIN' LEG!!

The rest of the visit was fairly uneventful, thankfully, though I did fail to sleep because grandmother has the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept in, and she had the heat on all night and I don't fair well in the heat.

... I think my dad just said something about needing some more cock in here?! Maybe I need my hearing checked o_O

What was I going to talk about next? Oh! Yes! The Oscars! I'm something of a cineophile, so I like watching movie related things (though I will admit that the Oscars can get more than a wee bit pretentious sometimes). Unfortunately, most of the movies that have come out in the past few years have been... well... kinda shitty. So mostly I watch the Oscars to see if anything looks like non-crap. Also, I was watching this year because Ennio Morricone was getting a lifetime achievement Oscar, which I was very pleased about, because I've always loved his music. It was so very appropriate that he was given the Oscar by Clint Eastwood, who was played in with that iconic piece from A Fistful of Dollars (which was a Morricone song, and one of my favourites). But then Celine Dion sang that song, and then she did that scary thing with her mouth at the end of it, and it made me cry T^T

Speaking of things that made me cry, Mako died! In freaking June! I had absolutely no idea he died! And Basil Poledouris?! I nearly shat myself when they said he had died too. Bloody hell...
And I wanted Peter O'Toole to get an Oscar. He should have bloody well got it for Lawrence of Arabia x_x

My favourite part of the Oscars? CORGIS!! I swear, they are the cutest dogs ever, and I'm not even a dog person (meow)!

Hehehe, but I discovered something supremely bad ass. As I said before, I'm a cinophile, so I like movies, the watching and the making of them. I've got a few on my YouTube, nothing fancy, but very weird. Anyway, most of the footage I shot was either download via FireWire from my camcorder, or off of the SD chip from my little camera. And since most computers don't have a FireWire port, we had to get one. And for some inexplicable reason, I failed to notice that the FireWire port we bought also had standard audio/video plug-ins! You know, those red, white and yellow tipped cables that plug into the TV. Hahaha! Tape, DVD, video games! Anything with an a/v plug-in thing, and I can get footage off of them! Muah ha ha ha!

(I don't know where that evil laughter came from)

Hehe, I already download a bunch of Wind Waker cutscenes, though the first thing I recorded off me GameCube was some SSBM footage (I always play as Zelda/Sheik), and soon I shall make MUSIC VIDEOS!! Ooh, and not just Zelda, but Metroid and Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil 4 and Doctor Who and Babylon 5!! Oh sweet technology! Why was I so oblivious to you?

Ooh, I must go find songs with which to set footage to!
