xmms memory lane

This page has a few of xmms's old webpages up, the first from 1997. Back then winamp pretty much was the thing to emulate :) Is still good sometimes to just load up your entire collection and let it go random..who needs fancy pants playlists and such! Is a pity that there's probably literally 100's of old quake and quake2 websites that exist only in memories anymore :) I didn't start using xmms until after the last of the pages on this page, but it is still interesting.

top 100 anime

The list is based on an online poll of the Japanese populace. Is sortof interesting that there are so many choices in that country for cartoons. Makes me happy, is a great way to absorb Japanese while watching quality (or not so quality) cinema :) I found it interesting that Macross is at #67 while Gundam is at #6. Am starting with the very first series (Gundam in 1979, Macross in early 80's) and both are surprisingly good. I'm also surprised that Evangelion is ranked #2, as on most english boards there seems to be a lot of snobs who would rank it low. I don't know...I found it entertaining, it has so many different levels of weirdness that was well worth the watch :) Currently am also into a few episodes of #4, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya...is pretty good and interestingly hillariously gripping :)

ouch

It's gotta suck being the worst rated player on Madden 07!

nukes

Ueba put together a great page full of nuclear explosion pictures. These pictures are really pretty but make me think, "WTF!!"

super bowls

Was looking at the statistics at this page. Hadn't really realized the Pats are now in a league with the Raiders and the Redskins, at 3-2. Only the Broncos, Cowboys, 49ers, and Steelers have been in more SB's. Cowboys been in 8 of 40, not bad. Only the Vikings and the Bills 0-4. OUCH. Broncos are 2-4, but had great teams. Am not a Broncos fan lol... Guess I'd take a 3-2 over a 2-4, cause losing just sucks because you gotta be the SB losers the whole next year at least. Miaaami also in with 5, 2-3. Giants, Ravens, Bears, Colts, Chiefs, Jets, and Bucs other teams with winning or tied records. Rams only other team with a win, at 1-2. Just was wondering which team deserves a win for sake of poor fans, would have to say Vikings because it could be another 50 years and I don't care if Bills get another one :) Actually take that back I'd much rather see the Chiefs get another than the Vikings. Realistically I see the Bears getting there and winning this year maybe. I'd like to see the Pats improve to 4-2 though!!!!!! :)

nfl picks

I was thinking there wasn't as many great matchups this week as last week. I think I am wrong however. After doing my picks I realize there are a lot more games I'm not sure of than those I'm pretty sure of.

Pretty sure of games:

ari atl (i like arizona but atlanta not crappy team)
dall tenn
sf kc
indy jets (would be close but Indy unfortunately solid on offense)
NE cinn (GO PATS!!!!!)

Not so sure of or hard to pick games:

minn at buff (Minn looking good this year :) )
no at car (who knows, carolina getting back together)
sd at bal (will be a great game)
miami at hou (ug both teams I have no love for)
detr at st lou (st lou showing life but detroit due)
cle at oakl (go browns! hopefully oaklond sucking)
jack at wash (go jags, so awesome shutting down pittsburgh)
sea at chicago (go bears!!!!)
gb at phil (who knows, both teams hard to gauge, phil probly)


Anyways will be a great Sunday to watch football :)
Go Pats!!!!!!!!!

Land HO!!

Holy cow, it's that time of year for International Talk Like A Pirate Day again. Next Tuesday this year! Here's a song about pirates to get you in the mood. It's kindof dumb but DANG catchy. Here is the World of Warcraft version if is more your cup of tea :) Uh, theres actually a ton of WoW Pirate videos on YouTube if that's your cup of tea :) ARRR!!

I actually suck at talking like a pirate, but I understand how important this holiday is, so I look forward to it every year.

Here is a version of my favorite pirate joke, can change it and draw it out a little, is fun one to tell:

This pirate walks into a bar. The bartender notices that the pirate has a ship steering wheel hanging out of the front of his pants.

The bartender says, "Hey, do you realize you have a steering wheel hanging out of your pants?"

So the pirate says, "Arrrr... it's driving me nuts!"

Uh, this joke doesn't have anything to do with pirates, but I thought it was pretty funny:

Guy walks into a pet store to get some cat food and as he's walking down the aisle, he passes a parrot cage. The parrot inside says, "psst! Hey buddy!" Guy turns around and says, "yes?" The parrot says, "FUCK YOU!" The man is taken aback, but gets his cat food and goes on.

A week later, the same guy comes back for some more cat food and he walks down the aisle, passes the parrot cage and the parrot says, "Pssssst! Hey, Buddy!" The man warily turns to the parrot and says, "Yes?" The parrot says "FUCK YOU!"

The man asks to speak with the manager and says, "Listen, I don't want to take my business elsewhere but that parrot is rude and offensive." The manager apologizes and assures the man it will NEVER HAPPEN again.

So a week later, the man comes to the pet store for some cat food and he passes the parrot cage and the parrot says, "Psssst! Hey, buddy!" The man slowly turns and says, "what?" The parrot nods and says, "You know what."

dumb game ideas

These video game ideas are a little dumb :)

just a little whacked out

This website is just a little weird.  Never heard of this tv show!

Valley Girl defense attorney

Was reading this article about some rich Japanese guy who is on trial for supposedly manipulating his stock price with dummy companies or something. From the article:

"The arguments of the prosecutors collapse on their own," chief defense lawyer Yasuyuki Takai told the court. "The prosecutors are portraying acts that are totally not criminal as though they are great crimes."

As if!!! Like..They are totally not criminal! Like, totally duh!!! :) Whatever!!!

yay for NFL season

Was great to get to watch an actual football game last night. The Steelers looked pretty darn sharp, and that Willie Parker guy is FAST...and that Polamalu guy is freaking nuts, a great defensive player. That being said the game left me with that same familiar feeling of pure revolting nausea that overtook me after the Steelers won the super bowl. I mean I'm no big Miami fan but still, what a lame way to start the damn season!!! :) Go beat up the Bills on Sunday Pats!!!!! Should be a few great games on Sunday. I'm really looking forward to Chiefs vs. Bengels, kindof just want to know if Larry Johnson is for real, he kicked serious ass last season. The whole Manning vs Manning thing will be fun, as both teams were pretty darn good last year. Atlanta vs Carolina should be a fun game, and I have a feeling the 49ers vs. Cardinals could be a fun one to watch too! Been keeping up with the hundreds of articles in the Pats newsgroup...finally it's time for to stop speculating, and for the teams to actually play the games! Yay!! :)

weird ascii java movie

This page sortof has the Matrix falling green dealies going on, but if you have the patience to watch I guess it's a pr0n movie or something :) Sortof nifty.

cute cat

This cute kitty is a great example of highest evolved life form on this planet lol.

new WR for New England

What with all the uncertainty surrounding Branch, it was refreshing to read that the Pats picked up Doug Gabriel from the Raiders for a...measly 5th round draft pick. Sounded too good to be true, but there it was. Heading over to the Raider's newsgroup, I found a thread of disgruntled Raider's. Still bitter about 2001 much? Neener Neener LOL.

interesting pictures

Wikipedia has a webpage which consists of like over 500 featured pictures, many of which are pretty cool.

From one of them I did some digging on wolf spiders, found this picture. I have to admit I find it captivating and beautiful, but I would probably scream like a little girl if I ever saw this in my house lol. I like female wolf spiders, they are really the only spiders around here that get big enough to have like real facial expressions and some personality. And those little baby's are soooo cute :) But EEEEESH, the willies!!!
