The Happenings in my Life

So I recently bought "Squee!" and "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" both by Jhonen Vasquez and I have yet to read them so I won't have a review posted for some time, maybe if I'm not doing anything this weekend I'll finish "Squee!" and review that. Aside from that I got the "Ten Years of Resident Evil" soundtrack and Klaus Schulze's "Irrlicht". I am listening to Irrlicht for the second time, why only a second time you ask? The first track is half an hour and the second is twenty-one minutes so of course it takes awhile to finish. This album is amazing though. I love "Ebene" it's got this eerely awesome string set going on that I just love. From what I remember this album is amazing, some of it can be very repetitive, but I manage, my music is very repetitive... I think... maybe... I dunno you be the judge of that. The Resident Evil soundtrack is awesome, nothing more needs to be said about that. School started so with that blog posts may be scarce, we'll see.
Oh and if you read, please comment, I love comments, lets me know people are actually reading this.

Review: Resident Evil Fire & Ice

So this afternoon I bought and read Resident Evil Fire & Ice, a graphic novel written by Ted Adams and Kris Oprisko who also wrote the original Resident Evil comics. This graphic novel was an original idea and totally shows that in both a good and a bad way. I can't really go into further detail than saying that without spoiling some of it. What I can reveal is that there is a scene in the arctic where two of the characters are ambushed by G-virus infected animals. The infected animals that surround them are a wolf, a bear, and to get into ridiculous territory a whale, a walrus, and a penguin. It was like, okay a G-virus mutated whale, walrus, and penguin. Both the whale and walrus were like a Tyrant, they had arms and legs and were bipedal. The penguin was just a penguin it was rather cute and funny. What stood out was that the whole thing seemed rather rushed, for example each character was given their own back story within a panel or two, there wasn't a big flashback scene it was just told to the reader. Even the ending seemed rushed, it all happened so fast I went, "Wait... what? Was that it!?" Apparently it was.
What makes this graphic novel so great is that it comes with the original Resident Evil comics (Resident Evil 1 and 2) as well as a few short comics that the author wrote. The blood and gore is very limited in this, which makes me wonder if it was aimed at a younger audience. I wouldn't have an issue with it if it was, but when I think Resident Evil creatures I expect to see lots of gore whether they are alive or not. Probably the best gore scene is when a guy got blown up. There aren't many zombies in the story either, the zombies are mainly in the opening sequence and then it goes to monsters, not an issue, but again I'm used to the video games where zombies are always present and eventually the character encounters more and more monsters gradually, but even then zombies are still present.
I bought this because I had never read a Resident Evil comic before and I had always heard good things about them from RE fans. I also looked at reviews and info on this specific graphic novel and it had gotten good reviews and this specific book that I got (which can be found at Barnes and Noble) was limited to 5,000 copies. So with all of that said, I definitely think it's worth picking up, maybe you'll have as much fun as I did or maybe more fun. Either way it's definitely worth picking up!

2012, thoughts

So we all know the movie is going to be two hours of destruction porn with no plot other than the world is ending and stuff is getting F'd in the A. So I'd like to focus on that special date in the future when everyone thinks the world is going to end. You must know this: December 21st 2012, is the last date on the MAYAN calendar and not OUR calendar or the CHRISTIAN/JEWISH/MUSLIM calendar. Look at it this way, the Christian calendar begins 0 AD, the year Jesus Christ was born, not when the earth was created. Nostradamus must've based his predictions around the Mayan calendar. Also, remember Y2K? Everyone was flipping a shit about how the world was going to end and how computers would go haywire and bombs would all launch and stuff, but did any of that happen? No. Many people have tried to predict the end of the world, but they've all been wrong. Every religion also has their own Escatology (study of the end of the world) and they are all different, for example Christianity has the book of Revelations that goes through the Apocolypse of John and the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and right there, the revelation of JESUS CHRIST and other religions don't believe that Jesus was the mesiah, which means that their view of how the world will end will be different. Well... I hope that convinced some of you or all of you to calm down and go, "Yeah, fuck you media!"

Oh and...! (Part 2)

Also, just figure I'd update on music stuffs:
*sigh* So let's see..... Don't Blow Your Top by KMFDM is an awesome CD. Easy Listening... by Pigface is different, but great. Started listening to 6 by Pigface, which so far is great.
I completed another song and uploaded that to the Myspace page for my band.
Who you gotta check out (if you're into industrial) is my friend Nik's band Kaustikutt. He does all of it himself and god damn his music is amazing. He's working with me on my first album. In all honesty, I'd like to do a collaboration album with him. That would be ecstasy.
Yeah that's it now.

Oh and...!

YOu know what? I also gotta get a Timbuk3 CD and a Falco CD.... So long as the Timbuk3 CD had "The Future's So Bright" and the Falco CD has "Der Kommissar".
...
...
I got a lot of music I gotta get.

ReLOADING!

So I decided not to wait for the computer guy to get back to me on my data and just started loading music back onto my computer. Gone through two shoe boxes (I wear a size 14 shoe mind you) and a external hard drive box. All three of these house my CDs and I'm saving another box (in which my combat boots came in) for more cds because I will need the extra box, my final box is almost full!
Got more CDs lined up to purchase. I am looking at Front By Front (Front 242), Irrilicht (Klaus Schulze), and Mindphaser (Front Line Assembly). Also got a ton of soundtracks and the Megadeth War Chest lined up. Whatever, I need money.

It's Nice

I'm listening to the album "Biohazard Symphony Op. 91 Crime and Punishment" by Mamoru Samuragoch and it's raining hard outside. It's really nice. It smells nice. I guess this album has helped me to love rain more... I dunno, it's weird.

The Story So Far...

So as it turns out my hard drive was fried so i got a newer bigger one in. Hooray!
The data is being taken off my old hard drive so that I can put it all back on.
Started making a new song that will be hella awesome when it's done. Sampled the living crap out of Starblade. Love it. It sounds super awesome. Just got some kinks to work out, then got to add a few more synth lines and top it all off with some nice percussion.
...
...
Maybe the percussion can go screw itself on this one -- I dunno, we'll see.
...
...
I got nothing else to say at the moment.

About the iTunes Thing...

Turns out I have corrupt files....
apparently that's what "error -69" is.
My computer was running slow so of course the cause would be that files are corrupt.

It's Been Awhile and it Will Continue to be so...

So my laptop broke and I got it fixed and it wasn't fully fixed so I sent it back today.
With my laptop out of commission nothing has been going on. I saw a couple movies, one was shit the other was awesome. Aside from that -- nothing.
I saw AOTS 1000 and it was awesome.
Got five CDs from Reckless Records down in Chicago. Those five being:
"Don't Blow Your Top" and "Angst" by KMFDM (two CDs away from discography)
"Easy Listening..." and "6" by Pigface
"Geography" by Front 242 (original release)
So I got all that to listen to. Unfortunately for me my stupid computer would not allow most of these CDs transfer onto my iPod, not because of lack of space, but because of an "unknown error".
