I has a hungover. I want to die. D:
...
So anyway. I figured I should add something else to this blog full of inane babble.
Yesterday night, I visited a Nightclub to welcome the new arrivals into Architecture. Drank four beers, got wasted, mentally argued with my Master Chief muse, drowned him in beer, danced, and the next day I wanted someone to put me out of my misery. Even though a friend of mine drank four times what I did, and she was fine. -___-
And before anyone asks after reading this: No, I was not drunk when I wrote this. Most of this was in the middle of a hungover with a headache that just wouldn't go away, but should give you some insight on what happens inside my mind.
( Inane, VERY strange babble. Even by the standards of this Blog. )

| » My muses' over-extended break. |
|---|
Something I really hate about my muses is that in one moment they kick with full strenght at me and give me all the inspiration I need, almost as if I had the very character standing right behind me, peeking at my shoulder, and hearing his EXACT voice and personality on how he would react and respond to a situation; Within another, they fly away, and I don't know when will they come back. I worry about these cases nearly as much as the long wait for the disc replacement program I had with Halo 3, thinking that, in the end, the bloody product won't come back.
I'm having MANY problems roleplaying with the Chief. I'm hardly hearing his voice any more,and some situations where he could be a situation for me to put him in, either it'd be off-character considering his stoic personality (no more stoic than Econtra!Samus, though), or I am a Stupid!Mun and I don't put the Chief where he should be. Zim? He's coughing, but he's still somewhat inspiring me. What I'm unhappy about myself, though, is that I took a very requested character but haven't acted well with him the past days. I haven't been as active or as spazzy as my character should have been.
You know? I'll tell you a secret. One of the characters I first thought about using prior to joining Econtra was 343 Guilty Spark, prior to my knowledge of the "humanoid form" rule. As much as I hate him and was glad that I got to kill him with a Spartan Laser, I have felt many times that I can talk EXACTLY like him, if I put a tiny effort. It's part of the Asperger's Syndrome, being able to use long words (and has been a defining trait of mine for al people that have met me IRL), but sometimes it comes SO bad, that I even get the Master Chief to say long words. Worst thing about it, I KNOW that once I get Spark, I'll still come to a point I won't know what to do with him.
That's it. I'll cut the bullshit. Winter break is about to finish, and as soon as it becomes the twenty first of Jannuary, I'll be back at uni. So, I have to get the Chief more active, and get Zim to annoy a little more people. I thought about getting three characters for Econtra, at most, but until I type more of my current pups into their current universe, two will be best.
...
Now that I re-read all of this, I reinforce my knowledge I acquired upon talking to Buzzy in a few entries of mine: I still talk as if everyone knows what I'm talking about.
Before anyone who even reads this thing asks: I didn't get too drunk on New Years'. I got drunk enough to go to sleep, but I woke up early because I had messed up my biological sleeping clock, and I received no hungover from my overexposure to white wine.

| » On drinking. Wondering if I should rename my journal to "My drunken rants." |
|---|
I don't know if as of know I should be even writing an entry, seeing as how I'm drunk. And pathetically, with only one beer. Luckily, it was a tasty beer of Corona (which, sadly, looks like it's the only one left).
Let's see... The times I've gotten drunk in this year were:
-A nightclub party at Segovia. The drink Adios Motherfucker was either dissappointing drink, or the barman (like many in this city) are more used to handing over beer and other kinds of booze than actually serving prepared drinks. the only things that got me drunk were the tequila shot with lemon... and they didn't even kick in until I was dragged home. Even so, I recall I could still act decently... and right after that, I headed to my room and slept well.
-One time or another where I feel like drinking something, but I seem to have developed strenght over wine, and those times were truly rare.
...
And that's about it? I stood sober for most of the semester because, while I was studying, I figured that I'd be called by friends to work on their homes at any time, and that I'd need to be as sober as possible when making assignments. We are also including that drunk people tend to feel sleepy, and since some days I had in my previous semester I had to get to uni at seven o'clock, and we can all agree that it SUCKS, I was also afraid of a hungover, so I refrained for many weeks.
However, something strange about me is that even when winter break started... I felt less tempted to drink. I think it were some factors... I read about buddhism once, and in one of the five most important rules about karma, was that intoxicating yourself was prohibited. Fair enough. Drunk people tend to do stupid things. Hell, even as I'm writing something, I'm kind of worried that I'll end up typing something stupid, and that I'll probably desire to make this entry private as soon as I wake up and read this again.
I decided to drink a beer today because, in my sober mind at the time, I figured I had already bought all the gifts I planned for my family, it was night, I wouldn't go out today, that (somehow) I wouldn't get drunk, and that in some way I deserved it for surviving the whole ordeal. But then again, I already received something good this day.
At that time, I was desperate. I was unable find my family members gifts, and I was running low on money. I believed I would be unable to come off with their gifts, and I even felt somewhat bitter of my current situation.
I found her. In a part-time job, but I found her smile. At first separated by a wall of clothing attire, but asking ourselves questions on why were we here -- I answered that "I was here because of the same reason she was"... but I was mistaken. Still, when we found a spot where the line of clothing ceased, I crossed it, and wasted no time to hug eachother.
She asked me how was I. Wondering at that time if I would be say the truth, I just said "Yes," and after that, I just dismissed my problems, and focused only on her hug (And nearly making her fall. xD). Our conversation was brief, but after I had to run, we hugged oneanother again, and wished ourselves luck and a Merry Christmas. After meeting her, I was invigorated once again, feeling able to overcome my current problems. The thing that crushes me as of now is the fact I did not get anything for her. Perhaps I could draw something, or at least send her a message to her cellphone...
...
I think that issue is one of the reasons I decided to drink tonight, come think of it. I'm wondering if I should go down to get another...
Let's see if Christmas and if in New Years' Eve I won't get a hungover. At least it's the best anti-drinking method we will ever receive in life. And kitten is standing in the left side of my computer, watching me type these words, and just being curious over the stupidity of his master.
...
Holy crap. Drunk, and I can still type decently in english?
I crave ramen.

| » Crazy dreams, crazy plot, and.... life. |
|---|
I had a videogame-related dream, but it was perhaps the most awesome of its kind.
I dreamed about a sandbox-type of game a la Saints' Row (or Grand Theft Auto, for the ones who don't know the game I'm talking about), where there was the obvious character customizability (in the dream, it was my character from Saints Row who was messing around), the classic modern city setting where you can mess around as you wish... but the top difference in this game was that everyone in the universe had the ability to be an ELEMENT-BENDER.
I was using a character that was a freaking FIREBENDER. He threw FLAMES at a bunch of innocent pedestrians. I think I checked a menu where I could focus my character's skills in one of the elements existing (the classic four plus another one I don't quite recall... I think it was plant-bending) and the others related to shooting, driving, etcetera. I think I wanted to make mine a balanced bender with the four elements (I'd be VERY creative on how to get rid of mobs of cops and enemy bands if I was able to use the other elements, come think of it), and I (strangely, considering my FPS proficiency) wasn't as focused on making him skilled in the use of firearms.
Seriously. If any game developer is reading this, PLEASE convince Nickelodeon to grant you the rights to make a fantasy/sci-fi sandbox game in a modern city setting where the PC (and the big villains, of course) can bend fire/air/water/earth/anotherlement Avatar-style, or at least make a Sandbox game of Avatar. I didn't get to play the Avatar game that was released time ago, but still, what'd you think about setting a car ON FIRE with your bare hands, or deflecting bullets by waterbending yourself a shield?
EDIT: Come think of it... I recall a friend of mine DM'ed a homebrewed campaign like that once, and my character there was a business-suit-wearing, katana-wielding electric-bender. I still remember mine kicked the asses of a squadron of military soldiers that didn't wield magic... And on another, being surrounded and frying alive all the enemies around us so my party could escape. ^___^
-----------------------------
Been absent for a while because I was giving this computer maintenance. Installed a bunch of stuff, freed space from the computer, and analyzed the it in search of something that was giving me touble. I found a Data Miner and a fucking virus in a Key creator NORTON 360 NEVER FUCKING DETECTED. I hope my computer is good now... It also reminds me that I should get another antivirus as soon as my current one expires. Probably Panda or Kaspersky.
On other real life matters... I'm kind of running out of money. I've got a gift to give dad, and another I was planning to give to a friend of mine. I'll ask for some money to my brother to complete one of them and pay him later. I'm still kind of worried, particularly when everyone's now looking for gifts in this time of the year (bloody hell, should have done so at the beginning of the fucking month!). But, perhaps there's a chance. If I getsomething for mydad on christmas (assuming that'll be the expensive gift, seeing as how he has a thing for all things electronic), THEN give my friend something on new years' eve, i'll survive. Broke, owing my brother money, and unable to go to a pub until my return to uni, but having given gifts. It'd be things I'd get over time, anyway.
I got a 9.0 in the third partial of third semester... Well, crap. Not as good as my previous semesters, but fair enough. I didn't put as much effort as I did with the previous ones. With three subjects off my back that semester, I think I relaxed too much. I wasn't as worried with assignments and at least I got relatively more resting hours, but I didn't give enough. The next semester (and the ones that'll follow for me) will not have english, but I'll have the others subjects because we don't have a chance to complete subjects on vacation.
Hm... I wonder if I should place an absense in Econtra to focus a bit on christmas matters while I'm at stores... But then again, I hope I'll get the gifts I need to give IRL.
-----------------------------
As a note from an Econtra newbie that takes characters that are VERY demanded: Do so at the risk of your sanity. Some characters are VERY tempting to make fun of (especially if they're cult characters), and if there's an entry they KNOW they'll enjoy teasing him, they'll do. I still remember barely finishing an answer, and then hearing MSN dinging that someone else has posted on the thread. xD Fun times. There's still plenty of Tags Zim has to answer... I wonder if should I re-focus on Chief, or go back to Zim.
Still, it was awesome. xD Zim achieved 94 posts in his journal before my Zim muse coughed its lungs out. However, I'm having a few problems getting inspiration for the Chief (And I believed it would be easier once I kidnapped adopted an insane character), and he's going to be in a plot with Kelly where he tells her everything that'll happen in the future of their universe... Not going to end well.
Just read the secret Santa List of Econtra. LAWL! A seven foot tall green soldier that kills aliens for a living giving a gift to Dib (Jac -- Glad to have you back!)... xD I'm tempted to make him give him a bucket of blue paint, a breather, a pyramid-shaped orange backpack, and duck tape, and let him be creative... but I'll think of another gift to give him. xDDD Compared to Zim, he'll be easier to give a gift to. Also noticed Mai's(StarRum) giving a gift to the Chief. ^_^
Let's see... Zim will give a gift to Ritsuka Aoyagi (from Loveless *writes down the anime he has to watch -- Jaydee doesn't know the character, bloody hell!*) and Cassis (from King of Bandits Jr *Also writes down*). He naturally hates humans, but ICly I'd make him want to give the gift for the sake of avoiding getting perpetually cuffed (again) and have the trust of at LEAST one character in Econtra. Well, him, but I don't know if Kousagi Tsukino trusts Zim now that he told her of FoodCourtia (and making Zim get a case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by Food Services as a bonus).

As I wrote on the hiatus post in Econtra a few days ago:
ABOUT BLOODY TIME THIS SEMESTER ENDED.
An assignment that I was supposed to deliver on december 1st was postponed until monday 3rd of december -- And after it, said assignment, after making plenty of procrastinating students (myself included) pull all-nighters to finish both the floorplan with format and a 3D house in the program of our choice with a few renders to show off your house (except Google SketchUp. She prohibited it because of being too easy and lacking precision. I used ArchiCAD. Not as pleasant to use as AutoCAD Autodesk, but less messy on rendering), she decided to postpone the work again until today morning.
On the logical viewpoint (and intentional from the teacher, it was cool because we'd at least get a better grade than the one we could have got with a hastily done work. When the teacher corrected me, I was fully conscious I had no reasons to be pissed off, but I couldn't help but be. After all, not sleeping gets people angry at times. When I noticed the gates of my garage were faulty, I had the temptation to kick a hole in it, but quickly realized it wouldn't do any good, and just focused on getting sleep before getting back to work.
After waking up, I start working on polishing the floorplan, and redesign the 3D House for better rendering purposes -- Passed the entire night without sleeping, and wait for a pair of friends on the morning to help eachother on some matters. I think I had only a few things to do on my computer by the time they arrived.
After returning home and eating after delivering my assignment and being given my grade on that subject (a nine. Given the mistakes I noticed and didn't even know about, it's all good), I crumbled on top of my bed, and woke up at six o' clock. It is now that I recall that I HATE waking up when it's gotten dark outside.... But at least I was over with uni.
Oh, I also finally picked up my Cartilla at the military base. No long bureaucratic lines this time (I arrived as early as I could), got it without any problems (it's kind of scary walking around a place where everyone has khaki battle uniforms and rifles -- At least they were gentle), but right now I wonder why some people call me güero when, as a matter of fact, I am not blonde.
So, what is a free architecture student, with a VERY messed up biological sleep clock, able to do? After passing a few nights without sleeping, I ended up losing sleep until 4:00 am at most times. As of now, I've become a creature far too nocturnal for my own tastes; one that sleeps when the sun rises. I like nights because it is the time I am able to think logically and creatively without being too distracted, but I prefer the life of daylight. Now at least I'm waking up at 2:00 pm most of the times, and at 11:00 am at best.
I want a D&D session. Especially a Modern one, if it weren't that the d20 Modern core rules are somewhat screwed up and my players prefer fantasy settings. So, I'd stick with a campaign left a good while ago.
--------------------
Concerning the last episode of Avatar: ANOTHER BLOODY CLIFFHANGER! GITS. I thought this would be the last season, but then again, that would mean tying up all loose ends (which are still abundant). As of now, looks like the fourth book will tell us a few mysteries about the airbenders. With any hope, Aang will probably learn a branch of airbending: Firebending has electric-bending, waterbending has healing and body-bending, earthbending has sandbending (technically) and metalbending... It'd suck for Aang if, being the last Airbender alive, didn't take a prestige class in... like... gravity bending. That would be awesome.
As much as Azula is such a sadist psychotic bitch that nearly killed Iroh, I have to admit she's a fucking strategic genius. Even though using Zuki to taunt Zokka was a bit too much. Still, I'm wondering why couldn't he and the others plan ahead knowing that the Fire Lord would hide rather than allowing himself to be stabbed by the Avatar while on the Day of Black Sun.
There was no Ty Lee. T_T I expected she and her friend would have been most useful during the battle, being kickass non-benders, but then again, the battle would have been shorter and uneven.

Livejournal sends me no warnings to my hotmail account. What the hell? At first, when I used the Chief, it told me everything, but now it's all cold pickles between both of them now I have to check LJ itself to see if there are new messages. I read about a problem like that once, but it's getting annoying.
So, I was dead for a few days, mainly because my team was making a scale model of a building in a one-fifty scale. We decided to take the whole day of yesterday to finish it up, and on sunday put the finishing touches, so we could enjoy the rather long weekend we somehow accomplished (it's called a "puente," or bridge. The day before or the day after a non-working day might be taken as a free day for the sake of lazyness). So now we have a model to finish for the end of the week, but meanwhile, we get to enjoy this friday night and saturday with freedom. I heard there was a nightclub party after a halloween one at my Uni (I dressed up as Neo, but I was unhappy with the costume. I should have got a V suit made somewhere), but I couldn't go because my team was determined to finish early. I want to go to a pub tomorrow night, and perhaps invite a friend or two (given if someone is willing to be the resignated driver), go to a movie (even though there's nothing very notable as of now), or just slack for the entire day.
I knew and talked sometimes with the people I work with my team, but we've become closer ever since we worked together nonstop on the model. While I hate staying in one place for an entire day (especially if it's a small room with no air conditioner, with little place to stretch, and a bed you'd hat ethe moment you saw it), I cannot say it was not an interesting experience. I like the way they work, even though we had to sacrifice that nightclub party in order to finish early. T_T
My 360 is still defective even after it was returned to me, and I'm thinking it might be the hard drive or the regulator: The regulator hasn't shown me any issues (it has never gave me a red light) even though dust fell on it a good while ago because someone drilled a wall in our house and some of the dust on my side fell on it (and I suspect it might be, but I don't know if it's related to the crashing in the middle of a game...); The Hard Drive? My brother said he also had a few problems, but mainly when he tried to use a specific team he downloaded in his game of FIFA (just for the record, I don't play that game, but my brother is a fan of it), and he says it is the network. I think he is very mistaken, but I do worry that it might be the drive because I've had problems with other things, and his problem just solidifies them. As soon as I find a 120 GB hard drive for the 360 and a transfer kit, I am buying them both. Still, I wish I knew what was the problem. Lord knows if it's the 360...
-------------
So, some Avatar episodes were released before their airing. I am guilty of watching them, and perhaps you are, too. But still:
Bloodbending = AWESOME!!111
I know Katara has respect for life and all, but if Aang learned it and became mean, perhaps they'd get to kill Azula and save themselves trouble from them in the future. If so, I imagine Aang would make Azula's heart explode and GO all : PAYBACK'S A BITCH, AND SO ARE YOU! >:O
Nightmares and Dreams? I thought Aang had already dominated his fears, but I can't deny it was hilarous. xD Appa and Momo's battle with sheep cheering was so stupid it was AWESOME. One of the nightmare sequences Aang had, though, was freaking brilliant. Imagining all of his friends would perish while betraying him, all while applying many effects on the animation that truly resembled a real nightmare, and after defeat, Momo would only shush. For some reason, that reminded me of Eliot's poem:
"This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper."
-------------
Making the Chief act like Donut was fun. xD I wish I had been there by the time the halloween plot was ending, Econtra has gone back to normal, but with the recent post of Jing speaking about the Warden's absense, probably another big serious plot is approaching. As ever, not necessarily good for the residents (if their muns are cruel -- I still feel I am not mean enough on mine), but it might become pretty interesting... I should perhaps apply for ZIM and Zokka, seeing as how the Chief is kind of cold for my tastes. Zim's obnoxious stupidity and Zokka's elephant-killing puns might be fun.
It's a shame I couldn't be here yesterday and the day before because of uni works, but had I posted earlier, this entry would have made it on the Chief's journal (even though I may add it backdated):
-----------------------

| » Having your life taken over by a roleplaying universe, or by an Architecture Institution? |
|---|
Well, this complicates things. I was assigned a few big things for the next week. and I'll probably have my free time reduced.
Tomorrow I am to deliver an ArchiCAD model of a house for Expression Workshop III. There's a few things on that program that I don't quite grasp, but other than that, it's nothing that tutorials couldn't help me on. Well, if it weren't for the fact that most of the tutorials I've found so far were on obsolete versions, while I possess ArchiCAD 9. Still, finishing the house ain't as much trouble -- What worries me is the time it takes on some people's computers on rendering trips inside the house (two hours, I've been warned). However, we are also including that some of them possess laptops that are obsolete, are full of stuff, and/or worse, have Windows Vista installed. First things first. I admit I have never touched Windows Vista, but after watching that OS in action in other computers, it is evident that I do NOT want a computer that eats most of it's resources while I use programs that require extensive use of graphics. Windows XP ain't devoid of errors, but unless I gain a power-crapping PC and Vista is as patched up as I want, I don't have a reason to acquire it.
It wouldn't be so bad, seeing as how I've discovered some sort of inborn proficiency in CAD style programs and that it'll be only for one night (save for the rendering problem mentioned early). However, my team in another subject was tasked with delivering eleven drawings (floorplans, cuts, and perspective drawings) and a scale model of our building. I was a little worried that it would take plenty of time, but my teammates are worried shitless that they have this assignment, and another big assignment from a subject taught by a teacher I do not have. Many are complaining that, if they survive this, they will have no money for a trip to Yecora. Me? I am not planning to go (it's a forest. I'm not much into nature), but I'll be happy with just a crap-free weekend.
-------------------------
There's a few things about the Master Chief that are unexplored, and I had to go as my judgement said. Children and the Master Chief? being frank, I couldn't really know. He didn't have much of a childhood (or parents, for that matter) at all, but he DID get to make friends (though limited to the ones of his squadron) -- While he is determined on his objectives, I thought that maybe he wouldn't desire having children going through the same thing as he did. I still wonder if it was the right thing: keeping the "every man needed" philosophy in war for survival, or helping those who can't fight escape. I chose the later right after Visas marr-mun put that subject in light.
I should post more on Econtra, especially on that Fei Wong storyline. However, I've passed some of my time at home sleeping in the free time between my classes, or plain slacking off at night. I'm worried about entering because there's occassions in which work appears unexpectedly, and I have to log off to start taking care of the matter. I am hoping that, after next week, everything should calm down, but it is better not to tempt fate. I KNOW that by the beginnings of december, my semester will end, and I will finally get to sleep a lot.

Right. Finally woke up (again), and my head hurts. Took a pill to fight the headache, but Lord knows when it'll take effect.
Buzzy, you remember you said about the whole "Your XBOX might be faulty" thing you suggested? Well, it'd blame it on you the fact the damn thing DID get faulty right after testing it a bit more (Red ring of Death) because you tempted fate, but I won't because, while I like that console, it's bloody faulty and it's the third time I send it to be fixed. Called tech support a few days ago, and they should pick up the console within next week. At least I'm not my brother, who wants to play the newest version of FIFA for the 360. If I knew how to make the Nelson laugh, I would do it to him.
Econtra's been an interesting experience, though it's kinda hard to roleplay as the Chief. Especially when I have to imagine what Steve Downes (The Chief's voice) would say, especially with the "caramel hair" story arc. If there's a fellow econtra writer reading this, do you know which days is the econtra chat on, and is there a program that allows you to enter without invitation? I was there thursday, but I don't know how often is it there...
On real life matters, I have to check through a lot of Architectural Digest magazines to find a Neo-classisist structure that posseses cream-coloured or brown elements to fit a coffee shop, and I've been unsuccessful so far; Right after that, it's sketching up the front door of the stablishment with the elements mentioned earlier; Finally, I take a shower, and get to a classmate's house to cram up the assignment for tomorrow, lose the night of sleep, and at least deliver the damn thing.
I'll have also to deliver a few things tuesday (A 3D project in ArchiCAD, and probably a structural problem and a compilation of materials for construction), but I'll figure out on monday afternoon on what to do. ArchiCAD kind of worries me, seeing as how it's the only program so far that I've had problems on using (Google Sketchup is AutoCAD for Kids, AutoCAD is a head-a'sploder, and ArchiCAD is a point in the middle where you don't know where to go), but probably more on the lack of time that I have as of now. At least there's still a month and some days to go until winter vacations.
And I still fucking hate northern mexican music singers. I swear to God, the day I go out, my last will will be to smash a song of metal at full volume at EVERY chero house existing in this city at two in the morning.

On the newest episode of Avatar: I often thought about how Sokka was merely treated as a comedy relief rather than a real member of the team. With him finally learning on how to use a sword, it's evident we'll get to see him cut some guts off. Now, apart from him taking a prestige class to become a Dashing Swordsman, he has a white lotus tile. As we were recalled in the episode Iroh and some members of a social group possess that one, perhaps in the form of a secret society? Iroh, we saw, is more interested in the wellfare of the world than on keeping his Nation's juggernaut. So, are Sokka's teacher, Iroh, and the members of that order are more interested in helping the avatar than breaking the balance?
Hmm... Something to chew on. Alright. Back to work.

DO PLAY RANCHERAS MUSIC AT FULL VOLUME AT TWO FUCKING AM IN THE MORNING, COULD YOU!? ASSHOLES!
To Yagami Light: If you're reading this, DO write the singer's name on a Death Note (and all singers of northern mexican "ranchera" music, while you're at it), could you? I mean, you're the real responsible for the deaths of many criminals and of Valentin Elizalde, are you? And I am sure we can all agree assholes playing that music in the middle of the sodding night are as good as criminals? Well, start working.
AND DO LEARN TO FUCKING SING.

Son of a BITCH.
SON OF A BITCH.
It is the fourth fucking disk I get for Halo 3, and I still get the "can't read disk" error messages on my 360!
Luckily, I finished the game and I don't have to worry any more about spoilers, but the error is appearing so often it's not funny. I kill people online, find out that I get to PWN and that I'll get promoted to Sergeant, and then that freaking slash appears on the side of my screen, telling me that my disc cannot be read.
KILL.
KILL.
KILL.
I was suggested that it might be my XBOX 360. I will be testing out a few of my games to see if I get the same error message but... Even if I found out, it's still an unpleasant situation. If it's the disc, another (likely to be defective) replacement. If it's my console, it's two weeks on tech support and not getting to play anything at all.
Of course, I thought of following the "disc replacement program" for Halo 3, but it's waiting two weeks and spending 300 pesos on sending it to Indiana to later get another disc back. Since I was an impatient fuck, I thought it would be best to just spend another 300 pesos on a standard edition and get to play it immediately. Infortunately, karma bit me in the arse, and I got two errors in the first two hours of playing it. I go back to the store, tell 'em about my problem, and after waiting a bit and messing around with the local console they have there to see if I can get an error message, I was suggested to just go test it in my house, to finally see if the game or if the Console is messed up.
GAH.
At least I finally get to do it in my house. There's other problems bugging me from the back of my mind, but I think i should lay down for a bit before attempting to test my game and my console out.
-----------------
In other news, I finally filled up my application for the Master Chief at Econtra, and sent it to the moderator. She told me the first mail I sent to her livejournal account wasn't received, so I sent another directly to her account. Looks like for now I'll have to wait to receive the approval message, and probably I'd do better in starting to create his journal and setting things up.
I also found out that someone else is roleplaying with a Halo character (SPARTAN-087 / Kelly. A very fast but rather unfortunate spartan that tends to get an eyeblink close to death, but has always managed to survive with a luck nearly equalling the Chief's). Awesome. My spartan probably won't feel as lonely as he would with no one else from his universe accompanying him, especially if it's someone from his family of spartans. That, and I probably won't feel as out of place as I would as a 360 gamer amongst anime fans.
I'll get some sleep.

Bloody hell, I've got to post here more often. I should be on AIM more, too, but I don't have many people in that friends' list to consider connecting (save for Buzzy and Jac. They rock).
First things first: I'm not dead, just too lazy for my own good. Had some projects that consisted in me having to pull off all-nighters, but I survived, albeit at a high cost, such as falling asleep in every chance I had to rest my body. Right after I reached home, I slept, and decided to give to shits about everything around me, and just get sleep.
As of now... I have yet another project to do that is due friday. Three kitchens that are potential bakeries, and one of them is going to be selected and completed throughoutly to then give it to the teacher. Buzzy, remember you asked me once if that teacher would give us bonus points if we used real gold on our presentation? Well, in architecture, turns out delivering assignments with cold work format is NOT encouraged. Sadly, I haven't delivered any of my works in an admirable presentation in a long time (save for the occassions in which we did a restaurant project, a XVIII-century-to-XXI-century-art-currents project, and a project for a Smoking rental establishment). Right now, i want to make the assignment, THEN get the damned thing into something cute to look at.
------------------------------
Entry from a good while ago, probably around the middle of August.
I went yesterday to a bar called Segovia. I asked one of the members of my family to drop me there, and it looks like more people on my group joined. As silly as it sounds, it is a party where, as a requirement, you had to wear a mask. I would've wanted to wear the mask V wears in V for Vendetta, but since there aren't any masks like those here and I was too short on time to make one, I just bought something to cover the upper side of my head. FINALLY! It's been a long while since I've gone to a pub!
I was there since nine, and stayed there for one hour and a half because the bloody owner of the bar didn't realize nearly a fourth of my fucking uni was at the front door. The inside of the bar? WORTH IT, and I've discovered I like nightclub music. Or, actually, the nightclubs as a whole. What I like about those places is that you leave your problems and your civility at the front door, and just get there to drink, dance, and have fun. Normally, I don't like dancing, but with music like that, excelent ambient, beautiful women dancing, and the drink itself, I try to join uni parties in nightclubs whenever it is possible, and if friends are coming.
A friend of mine introduced me to the gulp-shot-of tequila-then-suck-a-salty-lemon method. ROCKS, but you have to drink the shot quickly. Being honest, I was scared to do it, wondering if I would resist it. My first time? I was a pussy, and I drank my first shot slowly; Later, I wanted to redeem myself, and after four times consisting of gathering courage, I put the contents of the shot in my mouth, swallowed it all, then sucked the lemon. It tasted freaking SWEET. Next time I find a bottle of Don Julio, I'm trying that shit again.
Rather strangely, I was not in a hungover, and I nearly didn't have classes. For now I have to do a slight research about what kind of kitchen would a baker want, and it'll be a piece of cake. (Pun intended. Sorry. If you want bigger doses of corn, go read One One Se7en).
------------
Oh, and remember about econtra? I said I would join late, but that I would. As a proof, here are some profiles I worked on -- I haven't abandoned completely the idea of using the Master Chief, but I will wait until Halo 3 to complete his profile and propose him (seeing that I want to know WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HIM). Now imagine the temptation I have that the ending has been leaked into the interwebz, and that I want to use him in econtra. It's like having the Pandora box at the right side of your desktop.
Not to self - ALWAYS read, including the obligatory rules, the FAQ. I feel like a bloody moron after the past entry. Won't be an Elite, but I will use the Chief, but with the same slightly toned up talkativity, and slightly toned down combat strenght.
By the way: HOLY SHIT! D&D v4 has been announced! And it supports online games! FINALLY! MY NERD BROOD WILL NOT FALL INTO EXTINCTION!
As soon as my Internet connection slightly improves, and I get Halo 3 in my hands, it's party at ground zero. I love playing Gears of War as well, and it is unfortunate Halo doesn't allow stuff that is too gory, but I cannot avoid the love I have for slaughering people over XBOX Live over and over. If you have your copy reserved, be careful. >:)
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!111111111111
...
I need to go to work. To Jac: APOLOGIES. I promised I'd join econtra, and I will. I am VERY sorry for not having been online these last days, and not even mentioning squat on whatever happened to me and my interest in joining. As written here, I will join econtra as soon as Halo 3 is released, and when I finish it. Once again, sorry. You might as well feel free to grab the nearest baseball bat you have.

Note to self - You know your hair is too long when it dips itself in your ice cream. I swear, if I don't get it cut tomorrow...
----------
So, once again, I finally post. Long story short, I got a new ISP (FUCK YOU, MEGARED! I WON'T EVER HAVE TO PUT UP WITH YOUR SHIT AND YOUR BLOCKED PORTS ANY MORE! DIE IN A WELL FOR ALL I CARE!), I finished my summer classes (Passed Topography with a 9, and History of Art & Architecture III with a 10), My group'll finally be able to gather for a D&D session tomorrow, and I've bizarrely become more social as of late.
On a nutshell, that's what happened on my summer. My group also had a party (a Carne Asada, or a Barbecue, as you americans call it), and it reinforces my belief that being a Buddhist on Sonora is impossible (No meat, no intoxicants, and no sex. As much as the religion attracted me because of the peace of mind it offered, Buddha clearly has never eaten Sonoran meat with salsa or guacamole, with a can of beer).
Jac invited me to play on a Roleplaying universe under the name of ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) econtra_mod, which is a multi-universe of sorts. I like the plot, and the rules are fair enough, but I'm under a dilemma of sorts on which character to play:
Halo
The Master Chief - OU - I thought about using him in this universe, but... well.. He IS the Master Chief. Given that he's an enhanced cyborg supersoldier that has individually killed over a thousand Covenant soldiers and destroyed Halo (a ringworld), I thought that using him would be probably as good as God-modding in battles.
I thought, however, that toning him down would work. After all, the authors of the Halo books did the same, and made him slightly more talkable. In the book "The Fall of Reach", he had a hand-to-hand combat with an Elite (they are the rough equivalent of a SPARTAN supersoldier -- The kind of soldier the Master Chief is), and won because he yanked his gun to deplete his shields, to then beat him to a pulp.
Plot-wise, seeing as how his kind has done a great deal of help to humanity in his universe, he'd probably be among the most important people to be called to the front lines to assist the humanity of that universe. Besides, he is the signature of Halo, so it'd be good to kick things off with the few things people might be familiar with the game but... the problem of him being too strong persists. More importantly, the problem that he doesn't talk much, but still, some authors take literary freedoms with some characters...
An Elite - Likely names would be Asajj Dethor 'ee or Yoya Desayun 'ee - AU - This was my first option, a blue-armored elite with a sword. I thought of him as a rather lazy Elite in the war against humanity, mainly being sent to fight SPARTAN III's (Budget & killable spartans). During the Covenant Civil war, he gets to know his species would have to fight alongside humans. Plot-wise, his species hate humans with passion, but he merely has a slight dislike for them because they always shoot him on sight, so he wasn't very pleased.
When he is captured during a failed Split-space jump and drafted into the human's cause in the war against the Entropi, the bitter irony of him being forced to fight for humanity -again- pissed him off to no bounds.
Character-wise, he'd be dumb and kind of stupid, and lazy. He has a slight dislike for humans because they've always shot him, but can get along with them. Initially, he'd only speak his language that will be interpreted as jibberish, but a translator of sorts could be implemented to later to the perfect english they use in Halo 2. I thought of him as comic relief of sorts, to make it short.
Violent and angry with those that piss him off, but VERY friendly with those that befriend him/act nicely, kind of like Chewbacca. However, he's kind of cynical and apathetic: During a battle, if somebody close to his position got shot and killed, but he wasn't really close to him in any sentimental way, his answers could range around "Damn", "Huh. Beakman got shot". and "You think he's hurt?"
He's very lazy, but a capable and fierce fighter when the situation arises. His weapons would be Carbines & Rifles, but his signature weapon would be an Energy Blade. His biggest feat is that, despite the split-chin his race has and physical speech impossibilities to speak human languages with perfect sound and lack of accent, he can whistle.
The problem with him is that he may not be as popular as the Chief, and we include the fact that the people managing the RPG universe seem to be kind of strict concerning AU characters.
I'll have to ditch this character. I re-read the rules, and doesn't look like It'd fit. I am sorry... So, for roleplaying purposes, it might be adequate to increase the list to 343 Guilty Spark (abundant Roleplaying Material, but personality-wise, he is still unknown, considering he seems to like humans, but also wants to wipe the universe clean to save it from the flood) and/or Sergeant Johnson (a good balance between fighter and charming badassery. He could be good...)
Alright. Sod it. Limiting myself to Halo won't work, because they're either too powerful, or they have too little information on their personalities to be able to be roleplayed. I'll have to take another character from another universe... Man. Deciding for the right character will take longer than I thought. Sorry Jac. I will still join, though. Late, maybe, but I wil. -_-.
--------------
Others I thought about using were captain Scott Mitchel (of GRAW fame), Marcus Fenix (of Gears of War -- I also considered him because of his sarcasm, his cool in the middle of gross/scary situations, and that the first thing he'd probably write In-Universe would be "Okay, what the hell?"), Sam Fisher (Of Splinter Cell fame... though I quickly ditched him. He's not very social, and would avoid all communication attempts to escape his prision), among other VG characters.
Hmm... or Draco, from the movie "Dragonheart"?
...
Playing or not inside that universe, could you give me any tips in which to use?
---------------
I am conscious nearly all of us had dreams about being naked in public, and being ashamed, but... Ever dreamed you were naked, talking to dressed people (known, unknown, and familiar) but neither them or you cared?

Welp. My freshmanship in uni ended on friday the 25th. I am now a sophomore in architecture.
Note to self - ONLY drink coffee at nights when the situation is dire. That day I had to deliver plenty of assignments, from which include:
-A drawing of a Cathedral for History of Art & Architecture II. I chose St. Stephen in Vienna. Had I started earlier as I proposed at the beginning of the semester, I would have chosen the Burgos Cathedral, but since I'm bloody predictable, I did during the last night.
-All of the floorplans for Expression Workshop II, which are the cimentation plan, the hydraulic & sanitary plans, and the electricity plan. Managed to survive just barely, because there were a few issues I didn't notice until the professor found them. Every time it happened, I'd hiss to myself "PUTA MADRE!"
-All of the models for Descriptive Geometry. Had them all done, but my main problem was that I gave them to a friend so he'd complete them. I was scared he might have forgot to give them back, but he did, and all is good.
-The Final Project for Methodology for Design, which was a Restaurant we would make if we had the funds, the client, and the intentions to make money (which, considering we're on an expensive-ass career, we do). The Project itself was finished, but my duty was to compile it and make it presentable. I nearly entered in a state of panic when I found out I was lacking blank golden papers to print on the project, but we survived.
I had the Worst. Unslept. Night. Ever. Got only one hour of sleep, and felt HORRIBLE this morning. Imagine waking up at the screeching of the alarm clock, and beside the fact your body seems to weight a lot for some reason and you can't even open your eyes willingly, your very limbs hurt. I couldn't think straight in the morning. I was a freaking zombie: Unable to possess coherent thoughts, and practically wishing to be dead so I wouldn't feel that ever again. Hell, I'm willing to bet I'd rather have a hungover caused by assisting a nightclub and getting drunk rather than because of losing sleep by the work of uni assignments and coffee. Srsly. I thought I was going to die. Or, I was dead, and some asshole ressurected me.
But, rather strangely, every time I said to myself "Stay awake. This is the last day", I regained the strenght to continue, and went on doing last-minute corrections to some assignments as well as delivering them. By the middle of it, I think I stopped being a zombie.
One of my friends that was in my team of Methodology for Design had to go to the hospital to have her appendix removed, so we were on our own. She's doing well, but won't get much activity this summer while she recovers. I hope she's good to go by the beginning of the semester.
My exam on History of Art & Architecture is over. I smile to myself that I did decent enough, then collect all of my things to transport them to my car, and drive the way home. I open the electric doors, get the car inside, and finally close them. When I got inside the house with all the equipment I carried for uni, most of my march towards my room was met with silence, only broken by a yell when my T-ruler violently hit the fridge.
"PUTA MADRE!"
--------------
Now that I can finally afford to get drunk again, I have this to state: I missed the taste of good spanish wines, and the local beer tastes like tap water. Next time I go out, I'm buying a six pack of Corona... But then again, I've noticed my funds have been running low, so I'll stick to killing dad's open bottles of wine while I decide on either working for him this summer, or taking a subject so the next semester isn't a time-taking pain in the arse. I'll type a more complete post later... AND THIS TIME IS TRUE. Now that I have enough time, I should do it.
Oh, and they're playing "Starship Troopers." <3
