Sooo, I was partly depressed about having a sad journal up here, and seeing it everytime I logged in, and I wanted to recruit a bit for......

Inverloch Serial Killers! [link] It's an awesome forum game, much like Mafia, except the rules are a little bit different. For one thing, since it's all text, the killers write their own kills. thus opening themselves up to discovery through writing styles, mis-spellings, etc......

Anyone can play, and the more people we get, the happier everyone will be.

Typically, what happens, is there are 2 killers, and every day they send in a carefully crafted (or maybe not. ) kill via private message (kinda like 'notes' on DA) to the host of the game. The host then posts these kills in the game thread, and everyone gets to pick the kills apart to try and figure out who wrote them, etc..... it's a lot of fun! Oh yeah, and every day, the citizens (and killers too, since you don't know who's a killer and who isn't) vote on who to lynch, and on the update time, the host writes a 'lynch' of the popular vote. It's awesome.

Well, it seems that I am not going to Japan this summer. God must have other plans for me. *sigh* Disappointing? Yes. But I know I'll go someday...... *Makes resolute face, and stares out the window epicly.*

Other than my griping, the main reason for this blog post is that Kavdragon, Naepalm, Mechatron and I, (Myster_EE) are working on a song together! That's right, ALL FOUR OF US. It's epic. It's got singing, (TWO people this time!) it's got piano, it's got synthesizers, and most importantly, it's not finished yet. However, I'm tired enough and pumped enough about it to post up a link to the version we've got so far.

And.....uhhh...... the title is kinda..... well, let's just say that it came around due to a miscommunication between myself and Kav.

They're really good. Like, really good. Truly exceptional performers. You should listen to their music. I don't know how great they'll sound "unlive", 'cause a lot of it was seeing them up there on the stage, and being right next to a subwoofer that literally shook your body when the bass (An UPRIGHT bass, mind you!) boomed out a note. That bass almost made up for the lack of percussive instruments, in face. That's right. No Percussive Instruments. No Drums. Just three voices, two guitars, and one bass. Oh, and the bassist sometimes beatboxed, instead of singing. Yeah. They were awesome.



Aaaaand, I got a spam in my inbox today that was entirely in japanese. I'm really wondering about this, as I can't seem to remember anytime I signed up for anything with my email address that indicated I might speak/read japanese...... Maybe japanese and I just have a natural affinity toward each other that is so strong as to bend the laws of reason. Maybe I'm rambling. Maybe it's my mind bending, and not the laws of reason........ maybe there IS no letter...........

I know, I said I'd leave my other journal entry up for a while, but this kinda takes precedence. Sooooo...... basically....... Keek and I are going to nationals. Yeap. We're going to Las Vegas. Just thought I'd let you guys know. (So that you didn't have to hear it from someone else. )

I'm too tired to be excited right now....... I imagine it'll hit me later. Like when I started hugging everyone in sight while walking down a street in Guatemala, having finally realized that I WAS going to the UW.

Aaaanyway, this is one of those few moments in life where you can truly say; "EPIC. WIN."

(2*x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 1)^3 - 0.1*x^2*z^3 - y^2*z^3 = 0

.....Super awesome kudos to anyone who actually figures this one out. I don't suggest attempting to graph it by hand..... it's not a very nice function.

(BTW, The hiragana spells "daisuki desu", for those without Eastern Asian fonts....... It SHOULD have spelled "watashi wa minasan ga daisuki desuyo!"..... but it wouldn't allow anything that long. )
