From afar the lightning strikes. . .

. . . a thunderstorm is here!

Joy, joy, joy! Thunderstorms! YES!

Today has been a very productive day, and still is. I'm typing a blog whilst also typing two papers, juggling all of them at intervals. How sexy is that?

I'm going to focus then on my youtube videos in the coming days. I hope some of you have seen my channel, because within this semester I'm planning to start a series.

But here's a lineup of things I've yet to post:

1. Secrets of the Scene: Raiders of the Lost Ark 3 - alas, the long-awaited third portion of my critique on that movie. The problem with its eventual production has been the lack of any good software to record or cut scenes from the DVDs. I used FRAPs but that became a pain in the ass and it got screwed up. But now I believe I found another program. So hang on to your fedoras!

2. Back to College, Scotty - just a short video about my new year and showing the room. Nothing big.

3. And finally, the first episode of my series. It's based off a short story I'm writing, and thus I'm going to adapt it to a college setting. The series follows the main character (me) and his internal musings about the world around him, no matter how irritating it may seem. It all begins when a terribly uncultured girl asks him for help on typing a book report. The episode itself is called "Bradbury for Sale", but the series title is still in the works.

I'm thinking of also posting fun stuff at the end of each blog from now on.

Funny Video of the Day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o50_ZlMnjqY
(WOW, you REALLY must have no life to buy that, or no friends at least)

Book of the Day: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
(Slow in the very beginning but then it gets REALLY intense. Highly recommend.)

Video Game of the Day: Metal Gear Solid (PSX)
(Officially my favorite video game of all time, so far that is. Think you can beat it on Extreme mode?)

Hero of the Day: Nicholas D. Wolfwood

Villain of the Day: Liquid Snake

Once upon a time. . .

. . . in Drew University, I was typing a blog while my roommate capped some gangsters in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

I have concluded, as well as he, that playing GTA is the equivalent to doing nothing. And yet it's strangely appealing. I sometimes stare at the game as he plays. I inexplicably become drawn into its idiocy, kind of like reality television. But the entire game - the series even - is no different than fapping off.

I thought doing this was more appealing to me than the gay Tweety bird crap and stuff like that. Whenever I'm having writer's block, need a break from studying, or just don't know what to do in the gap between when I finish working and when I have to go to bed - I figured I'd blog.

 I'm studying Biology with an Archaeology minor. So far everything's been pretty smooth. Actually really smooth. It's like a really good sequel to a movie. No, it's like Ocean's Thirteen, and last year was Ocean's Twelve. Last year was pretty good, but this year was the year that last year should have been. . . yeah. . . try to wrap around that.

Let's see what's awesome so far:

-Don't have classes Mondays
-Applied for a radio show at my school (I'm hoping but confident it'll be accepted)
-Awesome room with an awesome view
-On my way brainstorming for a sitcom-ish series to add to my youtube account (LOOK FOR ME: search for ScottyMcGeester on youtube!)
-Predicting an awesome run academics-wise

What's NOT awesome

-Still in a slump with my writing, and then suddenly I see one of my old school friends publishing a book. I gotta step up my game. Then again I'm also juggling this scientist side of me by studying biology
-Been meaning to start a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Club but my moderator mysteriously stopped messaging me and now I have to track him down
-The showers in the bathroom at this residence hall are really awkward. They're these cramped spaces that make you feel like you're in some capsule on a space station

Doing this actually is like an exercise for my motivation. I suddenly feel like writing my story again. I have lots to post about past experiences/current experience/experiences I've yet to. . . er. . .experience. Such as fun college stories.

I'm also part of this club called NSE (New Social Engine) at my school. We're sponsoring a Capture the Flag game this Friday. Gonna be awesome.

By the way, look up my youtube.
