I hate work.
... in the realm of Tennis.
Or, at least so I dreamt last night.
This I asked myself while watching Kenneth Branagh's Henry V.
Apparently, they were:
ConstableYou have an excellent armour; but let my horse have his due.
ORLEANSDAUPHINORLEANSMy lord of Orleans, and my lord high constable, you
talk of horse and armour?
DAUPHINYou are as well provided of both as any prince in the world.
ORLEANSWhat a long night is this! I will not change my
horse with any that treads but on four pasterns.
Ca, ha! he bounds from the earth, as if his
entrails were hairs; le cheval volant, the Pegasus,
chez les narines de feu! When I bestride him, I
soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth
sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his
hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.
DAUPHINConstable Indeed, my lord, it is a most absolute and excellent horse.And of the heat of the ginger. It is a beast for
Perseus: he is pure air and fire; and the dull
elements of earth and water never appear in him, but
only in Patient stillness while his rider mounts
him: he is indeed a horse; and all other jades you
may call beasts.

By which the Constable probably wanted to say "Shut up already you dork, get a life."
I keep thinking about great stuff to write about, but once I am in front of my computer, it eludes me. Right now is another one of these moments.
Actually - I am thinking about taking this blog into another direction (well - it's not like it had a direction in the first place). Maybe I should blog about salads every day... and I would not call it "Salad Days", but Salatosaurus Rex.
Another possibility would be to blog everyday about stuff I did before I eventually died (well that's what blogs are basically, right?). Maybe that would motivate me to actually do all the stuff I think about doing, but then never really pursue.
Something I have thought about the last time is how big of a potty mouth I am, and that it makes me look ignorant and makes people uncomfortable and that's not cool. ^_^
\( ^o^)/ FINALLY FOUND THE CAFFEINE PILLS
Along with my copy of Brain Age. I showed it to her a while ago and she always kept asking "can we play the brain game?" - so I thought, I will just give it to her, since I kind of lost interest in it.
She is not really tech savvy, I am afraid (not that there is anything wrong with it - I think it would really, really bum me out if I knew she had a Myspace, haha. Or would stumble over porn or gory pics on the net), but that's one of the reasons why I bought it. There's not much you can do wrong with a DS, after all.
The only problem is that she keeps talking to herself during the Brain Age Test, and the DS thinks she gave the wrong answer... "Scissors... hmmm... so when it's scissors..." - before she can say "Paper" the test already went on.
I have the feeling that she will be a pro gamer next time I am seeing her.

The embedding of the much longer video on Destructoid didn't work, sorry about that.
So make sure to visit the link to see the longer, high quality teaser if you haven't already.
Giddy giddy!
*If you don't already know Cave Story, of which the character design for Fez reminded me a lot - An Interview with the designer, Pixel.
I have no idea what to do, really.
It's supposed to be a board game (hence the scrabble board, I just wanted to play around a bit and see what happens). It's supposed to facilitate intercultural communication (as in, people come together, don't speak a common language or at least not well enough, play the game, spend time together, relate to each other yadda yadda).
The problem now is, I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT GAME DESIGN.
I have no idea how to find rules for this.
I suck!
Damn this looks GREAT.
I can't believe this is finally happening, after all those years of rumours. It's just now after I watched the trailer that i realize that there - really! - will be a new Indiana Jones movie, man I am PSYCHED. This better be good or else. But it will be good, no doubts about it.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first movie that I watched on video tape (I guess I was eight, maybe nine years old). God damn that was INTENSE. I was sold right at that moment. Indiana Jones - good dude, backed hard.
Eat your heart out Star Wars, but after the mediocrity of the new films (to be honest, I didn't even bother watching the last one) I think it's safe to say Indy will age with more grace than you did.
2008 - first the new R A M B O and now a new Indiana Jones, this is the best year ever already.
