Chocobo Remix (and an excerpt from Spin)

The wormbaby found this, IM'ed it to me, and then heckled me until I clicked the link and watched the thing. I do have to say that it was funny (or at least I thought it was), although I didn't really see the humor in the pre-video thing or the skit at the very end, both of which he thought were fantastic. Boo to him. Anyway, click the link and watch the movie... It's worth watching even if you hate Final Fantasy games, although you may not get all of the jokes if you haven't played at least a few of the games. (By the by, for those you don't pick it up, the dancing line near the end, which include a dude in a raincoat, one guy with a cigarette, and a bouncing blobby thing, are the different versions of Cid, a character that appears in Every Single Game.)

The Chocobo Remix

And while I'm here, I'm going to give some of you a brief preview of what to expect in this newest chapter of 'Spin'. There aren't really any spoilers to this excerpt, but it is a little funny, so only click the cut if you (a) don't care or (b) promise not to complain.

( Excerpt from chapter 8 of Spin. )

Named teh fish!

The fish is named Zephaniah. (Pronunciation: zeh-fuh-NAI-uh. Difficulty? Here's a sound bite. Click to download.)

Zephaniah was a Biblical prophet who foretold the Judgement Day and the second coming of the Lord. Given that I'm not really a religious person at all, I suppose I should explain my reasoning for having named my fish after this prophet... All right, given that I was raised in a strict Catholic home, it's really not that big a deal that I would know the prophets or be able to spout off certain passages from the Big Book from memory, right? Zephaniah's book is an extremely easy one for me to remember, simply because it's (a) short and (b) kind of funny. Zephaniah, after all, did not believe that God really had a hand in any human affairs--I remember him once being called a "practical atheist", and I guess that phrase stuck with me. Zephaniah was not really all that good at following the teachings of God, and at times it almost seems as though he's trying to make up his own rules because he just plain Doesn't Get It. Or at least, that's my take on it. ^^

So no, this isn't blashphemy (especially not for me!), it's my idea of humor. Get over it.

Besides, my fish's nickname is Zep, which could be from a lot of things. I'm not a big Led Zeppelin fan myself, but I was perusing one of the Aerosmith sites (and, of course, Aerosmith is my favorite-ist band in the world) and was reminded that both Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer (guitar and drums, respectively) were inspired by Zeppelin, once upon a time. Kramer, however, always seems to refer to Zeppelin as 'Zep', and that made me think back to Zephaniah. Funny how that works. ^^ Anyway, I plugged 'Zep' into google and came back with four main things... Zeppelin and Zephaniah were the first two, of course. The other two were about an old comic strip and something to do with French education, which I couldn't read because I don't remember any useful French.

In any case, the fish's name is Zephaniah--Zep for short. It seems to suit him. ^_^ I'll post pictures of him as soon as I can find my digi-camera.

Betta Forum

*cough*

fsubetta

Becuase I got bored. ^^ It's really just a forum for all the people at FSU who own (or just plain love) betta fish. Well, any kind of fish, really, but specifically bettas. ^^ slyfox78, ladynight, and idontcare03, I will be disappointed in you guys if you don't join. ^_~ (Just teasing!)

I feel like chicken tonight! SPICY chicken!

Just finished flavoring up some chicken for tonight's dinner (it was my turn to cook tonight and my parents complained when I tried to feed everyone toast the other day). I put on some paprika, red pepper, cajun seasoning, poultry seasoning, garlic salt, and some other stuff, and then I made the mistake of sticking my much-seasoned finger into my mouth. My throat is sore...

And that means it's gonna be good. ^_^

...except I just rubbed my eye. I've already washed my hands, but that kinda stings. *whimper* Eck... I'll have to remember not to try and feed Zep after I eat dinner tonight!

Mmm, what else should I make? Salad is good... It's hard to mess up salad! *bustles off*
