Well that was a rather short ride wasn’t it? Oh well, now
that we’re here shall we get started? First off I’ll talk about an even that
will be happening at my favorite thread on the internets, /AMP/; then I’ll
probably ramble about a few random things like television, video games and
books and then I’ll ramble about rambles. Heck, there might even be more
renditions of Carol of the Bells mixed in. Shall we begin?
Most of you readers should have at least heard about /AMP/
by now, I think I do a pretty good job of throwing links in here and there, but
if you don’t know about /AMP/ I guess it won’t hurt to tell you. /AnimeMotivational Posters/ is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, we take
screen-caps or fan art of anime (although anime “related” images such as
Vocaloid and Touhou are generally accepted as well) and posterize them using
web sites such as wigflip or image editing programs such as GIMP. It’s a
fun thread and if you like anime, jokes or a mixture of the two you might want
to check it out.
Anywho, /AMP/ is currently in the middle of a competition to
see who can post the most MOTs within a given amount of time (iirc there’s
about six days left at this point). And while that competition is fun and all,
it seems like there is an even bigger event looming. The Twelve MOTs of
Christmas, from what I’ve come to understand, is a parodying of the Christmas
song The Twelve Days of Christmas. It would seem that everyone on /AMP/ is
welcome to join in with the fun and create a poster (or posters, I’m not sure
if you’re allowed to enter more than once per verse) that can be used as a
lyric for our new rendition of the classic Christmas song.
As far as I know it’s a fun event for everyone involved. Once the day is
done a poll is set up and everyone on /AMP/ votes for the poster that will
become the official line for that year’s song. Since this will be my first “The
Twelve MOTs of Christmas” I’m pretty excited about it and I’m patiently waiting
to take part in the fun!
I’m a slacker. Even though I know I should be working on “RE:Inspiration;
Titan III” to finish it as soon as possible I’ve been on a little writing
hiatus for the past few days and (so far) I can tell that I’m probably not
going to make much progress today. And on that note, I don’t even really want
to talk about “Titan III” today, so I’m not going to. Instead I’m going to talk
about a television show that I’ve obviously been missing out on. I don’t watch
much TV, in fact I don’t even have cable at my house, so any TV watching that I
would want to do would have to be done on the internets, at which point I’ll
just watch anime instead (I guess by TV I mean American television, I do watch
quite a bit of anime). So on Black Friday I found the first five seasons of The
Big Bang Theory on sale at Amazon. I was able to buy all five seasons for a
total of $40.00, which is an incredible deal. I’ve only seen through the first
disc of season 2, but I must say The Big Bang Theory is a brilliant show, I
sometimes wish I had a third hand so I could give it three thumbs up!
In addition to The Big Bang Theory, I’ve also started on
Spice and Wolf 2 (the Light Novel, not the manga) and I’m making quick work of
that, I do enjoy reading about Holo and Lawrence’s financial ventures. And
finally I’ve started a new game. I started playing League of Legends a few
weeks back, I was hesitant at first, but I’m glad that I gave it a shot.
Oh, and there still hasn’t been any new news on the Black
Rock Shooter video game. My fingers are still crossed though.
And now I’ve got a bit of somewhat sad news. I’m pretty sure
that this ramble will be the last ramble of 2012. No, I do not believe that the
world will end next Friday, but I do believe that I will be taking some time
off from sharing these random thoughts and personal experiences. I can’t say
for sure if I’ll be back on the first Friday of January, but I will most
certainly return by the second Friday of 2013. I hope to have “RE:I; Titan III”
finished before the end of the year, and when it is done, even if it’s not a
Friday I’ll post here to announce its release, so don’t worry about missing it.
So as of now there won’t be a ramble next Friday, or the Friday after that, but
there might be one three Fridays from now and if not then, then there will
certainly be one on the fourth Friday.
And on that note I think we should wrap things up. But
before I bid you all adieu, how about another Carol of the Bells:
And who could forget this week’s song of the week!
Yes indeed that’s one of the renditions of “The Twelve MOTs
of Christmas”. Anywho I shall take my leave now, as always if you have any
