I never really liked the word "blogger." But not as much as I hate the word "Twitter."
Buuuuut, I do like to write, and my friend Cherry told me the other day that maybe having a blog would be a good way to keep in the habit of writing, which I think can maybe replace some of my bad habits like biting my fingernails. I don't care about Twitter at all. Updating my Facebook status is so much effort I can't imagine doing it every few seconds of every day. Besides, what would you really say? "Diana is at work." "Diana is still at work." "Diana will be at work until a few hours from now." So I don't have one of those. But a blog, that I can get into. I just get to type and type about anything I want? Fun! ...
So, video games! I have terrible hand-eye coordination, so I don't play video games very much, but I do watch people playing video games pretty regularly. The best game EVER, however, is Mortal Kombat vs. the DC Universe. First of all, it's just a fun fighting game you can play with your friends. I read this article on Cracked.com about the three systems, XBox, Playstation 3, and Wii, and how many more Wiis have sold because it's all about playing with other people. As someone who hangs out with no less than four people all the time, that's pretty valuable. That's one of the reasons Mortal Kombat-DC is so fun, 'cause you can just pass the controllers around a huge group and everyone gets really into it. Plus, it is awesome to be Batman and the Flash and Wonder Woman.
There are also pretty awesome fatalities and heroic brutalities that the characters do, and here is a video of all of them if you are interested.
So I watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist the other night (cute, definitely cute...if I were in high school it would be my favorite movie of all time. But I'm not, so it's not). In the movie, Michael Cera is in a band with three gay guys. Throughout the movie, the boys give Norah a makeover, play matchmakers, and give pep talks. It leads to a question: have gays become the new "magical negro"? (Not to be confused with the "hilarious" "Barack the Magic Negro" video that wasn't as big a deal as it should have been. Seriously. Have you ever really seen it? It's amazingly racist.)
I'm not in college anymore, but sometimes I do miss my Psychology classes, when I would learn about some crazy shit my brain was capable of doing. Are you anything like that? If so, this website is for you. Look up Jumping Frenchmen of Maine Disorder--that's weird shit.
ok, so now that you are doing this. update it a lot. it gives me something to do when I'm board at work!
ReplyDeleteDiana, you and Eli may have inspired me to start a blog too! Maybe we can all get together and sit around with our computers and blog, but never actually talk to each other. That would be rad, huh?
ReplyDeletei will update it as often as possible!
ReplyDeletebarbara, that would be awesome. i hate talking to you in person. ;)
