Entry 19

Well, the night before Christmas I had the most bizarre, restless dream. It started out kind of "A Christmas Carol," and then morphed into pointless take-offs on just about any other Christmas movie or special I ever saw. Later I woke up to a phone call from Dave, who said Jacuzzi Central has gone bankrupt because they'd been sued by Jacuzzi, which I suppose I knew was a company that makes jacuzzis, but I never really thought of the word as trademarked. Well, neither did the PTBs at JC. So now it's over. The show... is over, and I dunno if it'll ever be picked up by anyone else. At the moment we're not really even thinking about it, I think we'll all just look for something else to do with our lives. But we'll still hang out, of course...

Well, I hope everyone's had a nice Christmas. And um... well I guess that's about all I can think to say, for now. Um... Dave should be probably be coming back to Bangor tomorrow, that'll be nice...

Entry 18

Okay, tonight we did episode Ni ju ichi. And we actually had our first guest ever, beat poet Joe Beats! But that was at the very end of the show, after Momoiro and I talked about all the stuff we'd seen and want to see, and Adult Swim schedule changes (as promised!) and whatever else we talk about...

Not sure what else to say right now, but I could go for a beer... shame Dave ain't around... anyways, he don't get Jacuzzi, so I reckon I'll have to send him a tape of the episode... it's weird doing the show without him producing...

Entry 17

Hey. I was gonna post here yesterday, but I couldn't get to the site. Well actually I never tried to get to my editing page, cuz I wanted to check my blog itself first, and I couldn't get there, so. Anyway, here now. I was gonna say I'm still not sure when our next show will be, but sometime before Christmas, for sure. And as for Adult Swim's schedule changes, I still have no idea what's up with that, I'm afraid. I also wanted to mention that I gave up on Pokemon Sapphire for now and started a new game of Pokemon Yellow. Been thinking of naming pokemon I catch after characters from Avatar. In fact I have a mankey named Zhao and a geodude named Bumi. And here's the really really really freaky thing. I was just making my way thru Mt. Moon, and something literally impossible happened. It amazed the hell out of me, made me really sit up and take notice, I'm telling you. Un.freaking. believable. Dude, are you sitting down? I was attacked by a wild Gengar! I shit you not my friends! I've never heard of such a thing!

For those of you unfamiliar with the game, let me explain something. There is a ghost-type pokemon called Gastly, which evolves into Haunter. Either of these pokemon you can catch in the wild, or actually in a specific place like Pokemon tower. Now, Haunter evolves into Gengar, but you NEVER FIND A WILD GENGAR. What's more, it is a trade evolution. See, most pokemon evolve when they reach a certain level. Pokemon level up by gaining experience points in battle, or else if you use a Rare Candy on them. But there are a few other ways certain pokemon have to evolve instead of leveling up, and one of those ways is by trading them with another player. So you see, if you don't have a friend to trade with, there is simply no way to ever get a Gengar. It just doesn't happen. And yet, it did. There shouldn't even be any ghosts here in Mt. Moon at all, and out of the blue I'm attacked by a wild pokemon you can't find anywhere, ever? Okay, I know, it's just a silly kids' game, but I am so totally geeking out about this! Btw, I named it Ko, after a spirit from the season finale of Avatar.

Which, I should also say, freakin' rocked. Damn that show is great! Wow. I can hardly wait for Book Two. And btw, if you haven't seen Dave's new banner that has Simon and River from Firefly and Zula and Zuko from Avatar, it's really pretty cool, IMHO. And well, I guess that's about all I can think to say for now...

Entry 16

I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached! Yeah, it's been awhile since I posted here, not that long, but more to the point, I'm not at the home computer at the moment, so that meant I had to actually sign in! Well I tried bennyiro and benny.iro and neither of them worked, so that worried me. I had to get them to gmail me my account info, and turns out it was benny_iro. honestly, I have no recollection of that. Weird.

Well, I'm here now, and that's what counts, as they say in... y'know... that thing where they say that being here now is what counts. Anyway, so what did I have to say? Dave's away, of course, but Momoiro and i will try to do the show without him for awhile. However, I'm a bit concerned that the PTBs at Jacuzzi told me not to bother updating the website, they can't afford it right now. Which when you consider it's free... scary. More importantly, it means I have to look for a job again, cuz I ain't gettin' paid fer the gig.

Meanwhile, Momoiro and I met an old friend of Dave's, Joe Beats. It's odd that Dave knew him in Ohio, and he knew us in Ohio, but we didn't know Joe. And now all four of us are in Maine. What are the odds?! Anyway, me and Momoiro have been hanging out with him a bit, and no doubt Dave will join us when he gets back here after the holidays. Should be fun. Also, there's a strong possibility that Joe will make a guest appearance on the next episode of the show and share one of his poems with us.

Other things to say: I think after this week Adult Swim's saturday schedule will be changing, I still haven't got the details all straight yet. more on that when I figure it out. Try to do that tomorrow actually, but we'll see. Also, haven't picked up my game of Sapphire in a while, and I was getting bored with it the last few times I did play, mostly cuz that last gym leader kept kickin' my ass. I dunno, maybe I'll pick it up tonight and try again, but maybe I'll give up and move on to something else.

And yeah, um, unless I've forgotten anything, that's all for now. But I'm sure I'm forgetting things. I'm prone to that. I think I caught mad cow from Denny Crane...

Entry 15

Earlier this week I was starting to work on the episode guide. No link right now since I didn't finish and never had a chance to get back to it. And actually I started thinking it's sort of pointless, so I'm not sure if I'll ever finish or not. I'll let you know.

Meanwhile. Today I found that there's no Mew Mew Power or One Piece on 4kidsTV this morning. Not sure when they'll return. This is really annoying. I should also mention most of Toonami will be taken up tonight by Tim Burton's Batman movie, which I don't expect to watch. But at 9:30 should be Naruto, then IGPX, then Bobobo. Then of course, Fullmetal Alchemist, and the season premiere of Samurai Champloo, and at 12:30 is the season premiere of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. then there's s-CRY-ed, which has like 4 episodes left...

Um... watched a new Avatar last night, which was cool. 2 weeks till the season finale, which will be mega cool. Can't think of anything else right now...

Entry 14

Y'know, I don't always think to talk to the day care man after leaving a second pokemon with his wife. You really should, so he can tell you if your two pokemon are getting along. I didn't think to do that the first time I left Beautifly with him. But the other day, after Beautifly had learned Silver Wind and I left him with the guy, I did talk to him, and he said my pokemon showed no interest in each other. Which is odd, because they're from the same group. So I tried leaving a couple different Nincada with him, and none of them got along with Beautifly. So finally I thought, maybe he would've said that if I'd bothered to ask the other time, and I got eggs anyway, so I just left and hoped for the best. And then some time later I returned, and there was an egg. It's so weird, because if he says your pokemon show no interest in each other, they're not bloody well supposed to produce an egg. But whatever. Today my egg hatched, and lo and behold, Nincada (who I named Naruto) knew Silver Wind! Huzzah! Of course it'll be awhile before I do any battle with him, but I've got him holding exp. share so he can level up safely and quickly. Right now I'm in Sootopolis, I just beat Kyogre, and now I'm going to do some last minute training against the gym trainers before facing gym leader Wallace.

In other news, y'know I been watching Viewtiful Joe the last couple Saturdays on WB, and I've been meaning to say that Joe's sidekick totally reminds me of Shippo, from InuYasha. And um, aside from that... I guess I can't think of anything else to say right now. So, sayonara...

Entry 13

Welp, did a new episode of Nanika atta, America?! today, that was fun. At the very end of the episode a question came to me: if they made a movie of our show, who would play me and Momoiro? And Dave, of course. But most importantly, who would play me? My first thought is Seth Green. My second thought is not Elijah Wood. I dunno, this bears some more thinking about. Maybe Dante Basco. I'd be very interested to hear other people's thoughts on the matter. About any of the three of us. Especially me. But Momoiro's important too. And Dave's not unimportant... Heh. So what are you thoughts? Anyone? post a reply here or else email me. Or post in the show's viewer forum, cuz there ain't enough talk in there, dammit. Especially not enough positive talk.

Meanwhile, I spent the whole morning playing Pokemon. I did actually rename Easter to Rapa Nui. And I got a Spoink who I named Spanky, though I'm not sure if that was today. The days sort of blend together, y'know? And a Carvanha named Amazon. I got an Electrike named Zeus, but I'm pretty sure that musta been yesterday. I'm not using it though, ended up not having room in my party. Also got a Skarmory named Kaiba, but I had to put him in storage, too. Oh, and I've gotten a couple eggs since putting Beautifly in the day care, but none of the hatchlings knew Silver Wind, dammit. So I thought maybe daddy should already know the move, not just be capable of learning it. so I took out Beautifly and now I'm raising his level myself until he learns it, then I'll put him back in there and try for yet another egg.

And I guess that's all I can think to say for now, except y'all remember to watch Veronica Mars tonight, ya hear?
