Well, Newgrounds, my summer has been continuing state of dullness and monotony, and few things have happened over the course of... well... since I made my last news post, which was in October of last year, which really shows, beyond words, how uneventful it's been lately. I'm predicting that none of you really care as to how I've been doing, but out of sheer boredom, I present to you a list of everything slightly notable that has gone on since October 30th (these events are in no particular order, other than as how they were chronologically thought of to list):

1. I purchased "Super Smash Bros. Brawl", and it is amazing as we all thought it would be.

2. I saw a bootleg version of "The Dark Knight", and even though watching it was a dreadful experience, it was a damn good movie (Ledger's Joker was surprisingly well done, though I wish he would have incorporated a more humorous aspect to the Joker's personality).

3. I now have an 80 GB iPod Classic; even if 80 GB is far more than I will ever need, I love the thing! As a side note of that, my musical library has hit an all-time high of 305 songs, which I am well aware is but a miniscule amount to some of you music-lovers who stow away thousands of songs onto your computers.

4. Mentally, I've been overwhelmed with pressure from school work and other issues that has led me to develop an obsession with escapism and surrealism, and anything that can at least simulate the feeling of leaving this awful reality nonsense; I think I may be driving myself insane... slowly.

5. I've become fans of the bands Hole, The Smashing Pumpkins, and more recently, The Cure. Though, I'm not a huge fan of any of them, they've still provided some fun over the past months, and even an interest in feminism via Courtney Love's angst-ridden lyrics, which I do rather like.

6. I'm just beginning to read the beautifully taboo novel , that is, "Lolita", and so far, Nabokov's expansive knowledge of the English vocabulary is proving to be rather overwhelming, but still readable. I read somewhere that Nabokov later tried to translate the book into his native language of Russian, and was displeased; to quote the man himself, "Alas, that 'wonderful Russian language' which, I imagined, still awaits me somewhere, which blooms like a faithful spring behind the locked gate to which I, after so many years, still possess the key, turned out to be non-existent, and there is nothing beyond that gate, except for some burned out stumps and hopeless autumnal emptiness, and the key in my hand looks rather like a lock pick" (I got that straight from Wikipedia, so I'm assuming that it's accurate). I was interested in the book after seeing the 1997 film adaption, which I adore (I beg you people to go and see it anyway you can)!

7. It was also my birthday last month... yayyyyyy... nah, it was pretty fucking boring.

8. (Edit: August, 13) I saw Fight Club, and I absolutely loved it!!! It was just amazing; brilliant effects, brilliant characters, brilliant story... one of my favorite movies of all-time! I am now currently reading the book as well!

That about sums up everything I could think of...

Oh, and I wanted to mention: WHEN IS THE NG CHAT GOING TO BE READY, YOU BASTARDS!?

Also, I hope you all enjoy this completely unrelated picture of Marilyn Manson... I also hope it scares the shit out of you...
