World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Huh?

So tonight I am thinking.
Maybe I should just stop thinking. I think too much.

"Time to kill. The words ran through Doppo's mind over and over. He was beginning to understand why Zenko wasnt accepted among his family. He was disobedient, relentless, disrespectful, and over all he didnt seem to care much for lives. So far in the six months he had been with Zenko he had seen 84 Isiata soldiers get killed by Zenko. 84 soldiers on his own side! He was told over and over again Zenko can not be held accountable for those deaths just because the other soldiers get in his way. It was madness, they treated him as though he was just some cannon that when fired would hit anything in its way, not like it was a person with control over what he did or did not do. In a way it seemed like Zenkos humanity had been sold long ago, and now he was simply that, a cannon, ready to be fired at the enemy and anyone who happened to be passing through."

Hmmmmm... am I really any good at this? So far so good I think.
I love how I've just kind of grabbed a little bit of my story from like page 4 at random.
After I post this I'll probably read this part over and over again until I end up changing things in my copy. Such is the bread of an everyday life. I already see something to change. I'm as bad as tolken.

I think tomorrow I'll post about how amazing it was getting to see Mr. Tomino in person, and how awesome the Zeta Trilogy was. Works of art I tell you, works of art.

Zeta Lovers Poster

I think the second one was my favorite, but I'll probably say for sure once the DVD's come out.
And now, sleep.

Victory! People like my work.

So my Public Service Announcement was a big hit in my Editing class, everyone loved it and I think it might have been the only PSA without a single negative comment. Even today people were still telling me how much they liked it. I know I wont get the same reaction on my next project, which is a movie trailer, but thats only because I'm not going to shoot my own footage. I plan on using the movie Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, because I was never happy with the preview so I figure that now I'll make my own.

I've started writing my epic novel, Isiata, and so far I have 3 pages of amazing work. I know three pages doesnt sound like much but I've been working on this for years. Planning it out on paper and mostly in my head exactly what was going to happen. I've tried writing it over and over again with no success, but these past few days I've been writing such amazing stuff that... well I think I'm pretty much drained as far as good writing goes for anything else. Thats why these entries suck so much probably. Anyway, I'm going strong right now and I should have 5 or 6 pages done by the end of the week. I want to take this slowly, read every sentance several times. Sometimes I just sit down and read what I have so far so I can get perspective on what to do next and what needs to be changed. Sometimes when you come back to something you realize "This really sucks." or "This is good, but the wording... it needs a diffrent word here." or any number of details like that. Writing is fun though, and I hope to be up to 100 pages by the end of the year. I'm going to work hard at it over winter break and see what I can pump out...

In other news I rock... once in a while.

Star Wars: Rebellion
By LucasArts Entertainment

In the end there is only... REBELLION!

So I've been playing one of the greatest games of all time again, Star Wars: Rebellion. It's such an amazing game and it never gets old no matter how long I play it. I just love the fact that I get to command either the Alliance or the Empire, but I dont have to actually command the battles if I dont want to. Dont get me wrong, its not like I dont like doing work in the game, its just this game isnt about the battles, its about building a better Empire/Alliance. It's all about the gameplay, which is how more games should be.

I was at ISU over the weekend and it was lots of fun. Jill and I were sooooo lazy and we pretty much just watched Star Wars, played SSBM, and ate food. It was a good time and I cant wait to see her again.

I really want to quit working at Meijer, but today was actually not bad. I think that was because I had been with Jill all weekend so I was pretty laid back about things. I'm going to try to get back into the Systems department which is where I was before. I liked it because I didnt really have something do to all the time, I had time to sit down for a little while and do nothing until I had to do the next job. Plus I got to work with computers and that was fun. Meh... I'm going to try and stick with it for now even if I dont get into systems.

Another thing that sucks about work... Money! I want to make more money, but I dont want to work more. I'm thinking about working a ton one of these weeks so that I can get a little extra money. I need money to pay my parents for things, I need to get money for a Wii, Final Fantasy 12, Super Robot Wars 2... and other random things. Oh well. Bahhhhhh... I need to stop thinking about money. I'm going to go play a game.

To lazy to Dirge.

I got my hands on dirge of cerberus only a couple days after it came out. I still have yet to get very far. I'm at the part where you play as Cait Sith and I'm just... Way too into Super Robot Wars to do anything. This game is super awesome like I never thought a GBA game could be. Why is it all the good games are coming out for GBA and not DS? Although I guess there are a few DS games I want. Mostly Resident Evil, but I'm too poor to buy another game right now I want to buy the Full House DVDs. No... not the American show. It's a Korean Drama about this girl who marries this guy with the deal that after 6 months she can have her house back after it was sold behind her back by people she thought were her friends. I saw it on TV the other night and it looked really good so I think I might pick it up eventually.

Firstly I need to get tickets for the Zeta movies still. I think I'll do that first. Yup... right after my auto insurance payment. Which I have no idea how much it is. Damn you car! DAMN YOU! Oh well... I'll be much happier once it stops making noise.

I am tired... and this update is over. Goodnight!
