Today there were a lot of almosts. I almost finished packing everything for the move. I almost went to my sister’s. I almost went for a walk if not an actual jog, although it looked like it could rain at any moment all day. I don’t think it did. But in the end I hadn’t really accomplished anything really.
I will mention a few of the things I have watched recently. One of the more memorable ones was Ctrl, a short little web show. The episodes are only five or six minutes long and there’s only like 12 episodes. I found some what creative, a little original but really well done for what I can only assume to be a really low-budget production.
The only other thing I watched was something called The Angry Video Game Nerd. It’s this guy with a rather large and extensive video game collection. Everything from a bunch of 70s pong consoles to who knows how many NES games. Some more recent consoles as well. Anyway he reviews usually a particular game that is really horrible and rants about how broken it is. His rants usually involve four letter words, middle fingers and a creative graphic of a game getting blown up. But sometimes it’s just a general console type of review, like of the Atari 5200 (yes, it’s 5200: I think I got that wrong in a prior post). I watched a bunch of them today when I figure out he had organized his videos by year and my bookmark was still pointing to 2009. Anyway that was a waste of time.
Oh and last night I felt like re-watching that “Indian Thriller” a few more times. Then I found out there were a bunch more videos featuring the same singer/performer on you tube. Perhaps not as hilarious as Indian Thriller but still made me laugh quite a few times. A lot of shows try to be that funny on purpose and manage to fail, this guy I can only assume unintentionally was hilarious in a great number of his videos. Maybe it was just combination of what was popular in India and that it was the 1980s after all. I don’t know.
I think I was slightly less exhausted today then I have been. I guess that caffeine I inadvertently took is starting to wear off or something.
I guess it was a short entry today. Perhaps I will get better tomorrow.
