Content?

I'm mad shitty, thanks for the update Mike. Here's some stuff!

1. Started playing Crisis Core: FFVII last night (had to run out to EB Games at like 9pm at night to pick the motherfucker up), and so far it is an enjoyable game. It definitely helps that I was a huge FFVII fanboi when it first came out, but even someone just coming into the world of Gaia for the first time would find the fast-paced action RPG combat and solid characters cool. But what the hell do I know, I'm only about 3 hours in so I'll come back to this later.

2. Caught wind of a Portishead leak and got ALL UP ON THAT SHIT GOOD GOD DAMN *ahem*

Portishead - Third comes out in April sometime, but being the no-good pirate that I am, I procured a copy early and have devoured it mercilessly over the past few days. For fans of the Portishead of legend, the direction this album takes may come as a bit of a surprise. While Beth Gibbons' torch song voice once ruled supreme, it takes a bit of a back seat on this album. The songs are just as gloomy as always, but in a different way. More of an industrial feel, like these songs came out of a steel factory rather than the smoky jazz bar feel of Dummy.
This is not an album that you listen to on your iPod on a crowded subway or with one earbud hanging out, pretending to do work. Grab a glass of wine, light a candle and don't be afraid when that Bristol gloom washes over you. (full review to come? who knows)


3. To prepare for my role as a chronic masturbator, I have been doing a little method training. Keeping a steady schedule of 7 times a day has been infinitely exhausting, but I refuse to give up! Last night, I actually passed out while masturbating, but what did I do when I came to? God be damned if I didn't finish up! It's a bit unsatisfying when you've emptied yourself so many times that all you ejaculate is air, but this is all for the good of the project. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

4. I started work on a little story/screenplay, a horror/dark comedy in the vein of many of my favorite Japanese horror movies (Ichi the Killer, Battle Royale), but ended up with a whole different monster. We'll see how it pans out, maybe I'll post a sample later.



THIS ENTRY IS FILLED WITH EMPTY PROMISES,
