So, apparently Ypsilanti's air raid... excuse me, tornado... siren sounds like an auto-tuned vuvuzela.

My hometown had a volunteer fire department that whenever there was a fire they would fire up this siren that sounds like the old tornado warning sirens you hear in the movies. My house was next to the fire department, so 3am fires always woke me up.

As I continue to hammer out the script for my cartoon, I ponder exactly how funny my idea really is. I realized early on that the only person laughing at it might be myself. Here's a quick rundown of the 1st episode.

Madoshi does his normal routine, as an internal narration he gives the viewers a quick rundown of his normal routine, which of course is about to be sent straight to hell.

Diana shows up, asking if he is Olga Korovin. He tells her that Olga is the next room over.

Diana shows up a few minutes later, proclaiming herself to be Madoshi's roommate.

Madoshi goes to "fix this problem" with Sid, the secretary/student counselor/vice principal/occasional school chef. Sid does not cooperate and Madoshi is stuck with Diana for the semester.

Madoshi comes home to find Diana eating snack mix out of his personal rice bowl.

Madoshi takes Diana through the dorm and lays down some ground rules.

Diana, feeling bad about offending Madoshi the day she met him decides to treat him to dinner. They go to the local tavern.

a shady looking guy tries to give Diana a mixed drink, but she ends up giving the drink to Madoshi because she prefers regular ale. Madoshi takes a sip, realizes it tastes pretty good to him and takes a few more sips, and passes out.

Madoshi wakes up with a pounding headache and a stomach ache. Diana thinks Madoshi has really poor alcohol tolerance. Madoshi realizes the drink was poisoned with a powerful sleeping agent and he is suffering from the side effects. (implied attempted rape lol)

Madoshi stumbles into his potion workshop room in his house and begins working on an antidote he knows of to get to class. Diana decides to help him.

Madoshi openly doubts Diana's ability to help. Diana insists on helping. Together they make a potion that not only neutralized the poison, but also made Madoshi float, to his own dismay.

Madoshi quickly realizes he can use his ability to control the wind to fly to his classes. everyone looks up in amazement when they see Madoshi flying through the air. as he closes in on his first class, the potion wears off and he falls, but manages to catch himself with a blast of wind aimed at the ground.

Meanwhile Diana is in her armed combat class. a large guy with huge muscles mocks Diana for joining the class until she grabs his shirt and lifts him off the ground with 1 hand.

After the class Madoshi works furiously to try and reproduce the potion, with absolutely no luck. Diana walks in, find out what Madoshi is doing and reproduces the potion in a single try. Madoshi is stunned that Diana can do such a thing. Madoshi asks Diana about the difference, but since she has no ACTUAL experience in creating potions, she has no clue.

Later in the day Madoshi is in his Potion creation class and Diana shows up and sits next to him. Madoshi ponders to himself what all kinds of disasters Diana is going to create for him.

after classes she decides to make everything up to Madoshi for the disasters of the day before and as they are making their way to the tavern, they encounter the same shady guy, carrying off a girl. Madoshi realizes that he's doing and confronts him. the man drops the girl and attacks Madoshi only to get pummeled by Diana and Madoshi.

they turn him in to the authorities who find the sleep poison in his coat pocket. They drag him off to the prison. Diana asks about the fate of the man and Madoshi simply states, "I don't think we'll be seeing him again."
the episode ends here.

perhaps I'm being too ambitious for my first idea? or perhaps I'm onto something. Trying to mix comedy, drama, action, and fantasy all into 1 show with an actual plot and story progression.

Here in Ontario we got huge snow storms

Well after three or four years of having my xbox 360, its desided to break down on me.

My mom is from Ypsilanti. You're the first person I've met who has heard of this location besides her.

Well, you can assume anyone whose a Michigan student or from Ann Arbor/Detroit has a good idea where it is, too. Ann Arbor's little delinquent, unemployed brother.

I've slept through them here.

That's the thing... the one in Ann Arbor will wake you from a dead sleep, this one is practically soothing.

Good. Now cut out most of that. Editors all over the world agree: the more stuff you axe from a storyline, the better it gets. Case in point:

"My sister is creeping me out, she keeps sneaking up on me with her huge tits and shouting "OOGA-BOOGA-BOOGA MEGAMIIILK!" and she knows how much I hate that."

Notice what happens when we take away some of the words:

"Huge tits."

Much better, neh? Seriously, just write it all down and start slaughtering around half of the text when you're done. It can only get better the more you cut away, some editors prefer to shoot as high as 2/3s!

See, you should've gotten a Wii!

Nah man, that sucks, but now you have the perfect excuse to run into your nearest store and buy a spanking new 360 S! Those things rock, but be careful with the disc tray, a friend of mine placed it upside down and broke the tray by forcing it to open the wrong way, somehow.

Also. You COULD get one of those awesome RED Wiis. They kick ass.

DE RED WUNZ GO FASTA!

Well it's complicated, two nights ago it froze on me 3 times, then yesterday I turned it on and it had 3 red lights, I shut it off and turn it back on sometime latter and it was just one green light, but it still freezes up after a while.

Yep. Red Ring of Death.

You can get it fixed (or more accurately, replaced) for free.

Fucking Microsoft.

Only if its under warranty no?
And i'm pretty sure 3-4 years is past warranty.

Nah, if it's Red Ring of Death, it's still under warranty.

Otherwise Microsoft would of lost a bunch of customers because of a technical problem on their end.

Depending on how much he's actually played the thing that could be an "If" ranging from "Mouse Rod" to "Elephant 5th Leg" in size. A passionate gamer getting the Ring after more than three years seems a bit odd to me, you'd think it would've happened sooner. But I could be wrong, of course.
Normal warranty for these things in any case is one year, I'm pretty sure that's the deal with all consoles to be honest. Unless it was purchased from some kind of store that has a more lax return policy, I can name one in my own vicinity that has a two year warranty for any electrical product, appliance or just plain gizmo as opposed to the mere one.

Otherwise Microsoft would have lost a bunch of customers because of a technical problem on their end.

Ish a gud fing u can git dese r'playshd, yesh.

I'm on the fence about the red ribbons on our weapons...MORE BLOOD & GORE !
I have no christmas tree, the girlfriend & I are planning on going out tomorrow or Tuesday & cutting one down.

I'm happy with both of these developments.

Its nice to hear you're happy at this time of year.

I am planning on having a great 'feast of the Son of Isis' celebration.
I also don't have any problem that the Romans tried to rename it Saturnalia...or that the Christians in & around 350 AD decided to call it Jesus Christs birthday.

No its not a problem that all these others have decided to take our holiday & re make it into their own... but when you've been doing something for over 4500 years, its hard to take the 'new guy's like christian's seriously when they haven't even been at it for 2 millennia, hell the son of Isis festival was over 2500 years old before christian's even attempted to 'rename ' it.
So let us prepare for over indulgence, drinking, feasting & the raucous behaviour ~;)
Because its not the name that really counts...its the 'good times' had by all ,that's important.

Now where did I put that church key (what we call an corkscrew around here)

I'm going to eat a little peppermint tree with no social commentary.

My dog is weird, you sneeze and she comes running to you for attention.

I did something completely stupid this last Saturday, and I have no problem telling it here or having you guys laugh at me for it; I tried to go to the mall. Yes, the mall, on the weekend before Christmas. I had this last weekend off from work, and I just wanted to get out of the house for a while, so I went up to Bowling Green, Kentucky, and went shopping at Flea Land for a bit, then drove from there to Greenwood Mall about a half mile down the road... that took me about 20 minutes of fighting traffic just to get TOO the mall, I took one look at the 5 acres of parking they had that was full to the brim and said "fuck this" and kept driving.

And on top of it being the weekend before Christmas, Western Kentucky University had it's graduation ceremony the same day. So I had to fight Christmas traffic going down the road (not just around the mall), but I also had to compete with the hundreds of cars who were driving around trying to get to the interstate AND the mall after the ceremony.

<---- Moron.

Oh, and one of the booths at Flealand had one of these for sale and I didn't have the sense Jeebus gave a pissant to realize what it was or to buy it.

He copy pasted a post from page 100 something and is generally acting like one of those weird spam accounts that do that lately.

a couple of years ago I made the mistake of stopping off at the walmart to do some grocery shopping...on black friday

Shit, just today I went to the Post office hoping to send something priority real quick... not realizing till I got there that today is the last day to guarantee delivery by Christmas for priority mail... line out the damn door. -_- /tard

Anyway, I posted a link earlier to a song done by one of my favorite artists, Origa. I just found a new live vid from back in 1997. Unfortunately it's not the whole concert just 3 partial songs, but the quality is awesome and the performance is WHOA. No mic effects or computer pitch adjustment, just her and a guitar. A. Mazing.

Also, holy shit, she's cute... Not something I had noticed before.

Linky.

I had to go to a mini mall today at 2 pm.
I didn't want to ,but I did want some booze & there's no other choice out here !
Fuck it was pandimonium in the parking lot ! ! !
It's hard to believe that with as few of us that live in this area could all go to the same parking lot, at the same time, on the same day !
All that is in that little mall is a grocery store (big box name), a Gas Station on the end, a small Realtors office & the Liquor Store .

I can only wonder (because I sure as hell ain't going in to find out) what it must be like in the city where there are malls with hundreds of shops !

Oh well Merry Merchants Day, becuase that's what it is truely becoming....so many sheeple have so much to be proud of !
