Viva Piñata

So I went and bought Viva Piñata for the Xbox 360.

It was kinda an impulse buy and In hindsight I wish I had held onto the money and put it towards something 'Wii' related this coming Sunday instead.

Oh well. Best laid plans...

Anyways, the game is super fucked up and It’s a total trip to play. You're this gardener dude and are given a plot of land to make beautiful, pretty, and serene. As you work on your garden these Piñata animals come along investigating the work you have done. It’s your goal, basically, to lure the Piñata’s into your garden through set objectives (like growing certain plants and what not) - get them to move in and live there - and then to mate...so you can sell their offspring for chocolate coins.

More or less it's a twisted Tycoon style of game with crazy Piñata's that fuck, fight, get sick, and dance.

Who knew there was a market for this kinda thing - even stranger - who knew that it could actually be a heck of a lot of fun.

Retro Encabulator.

I dunno what it is...but hot damn I want one.

Talk about a mouthful.

Fiddle-fiddle-dee.

In the walls of my apartment, hidden away where no one can see or go, there lives a Gnome. I don't know how long he has spent roaming the cracks and secret places of my ten storey building - all I know is that he is there.

He's a harmless old Gnome, no name, no family, no real purpose. He sports bright blue leggings with a bib that covers his chest, which in turn is clothed in a vibrant yellow tunic with three wooden buttons at the neck. He plays the fiddle and whistles to himself late in the night when everyone is safe, sound, and tucked away.

Fiddle-fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-diddle do...

ya. The neighbors really oughta turn down their folk music. Its embarrassing. O_o

Marathon biker man...

I saw this elderly fellow yesterday, rather round in the midsection, and by all appearances...not quite right in the head.

He was on a stationary bike parked right there on the sidewalk in front of my apartment building. As people walked by he gave them a little nod, or a wink and just kept a peddling.

I walked around and took the back door in.

O_o

Tideland.

I got to watch Terry Gilliam's newest film last night, Tideland.

I've always been a big fan of Gilliam's work, and have been looking forward to Tideland for well over a year now. A little trivia for you...the film was shot just one province over from me, about a two and a half hour drive from where I am now typing this out.

Yes...the Prairies really are that flat. :P

Anyways I enjoyed the film...but I gotta tell ya, it was pretty warped. The story centers around a young girl who is more or less left up to her own devices and imagination to survive and get along in the world her drug addled rock star father (Jeff Bridges) has put her in. She has severed doll heads she keeps stuck on her fingers for friends and more or less blissfully goes about her days unaware of the strange predicaments she constantly seems to find herself in.

I dunno...that's the best I can do. Like I said the film is pretty fucked up so its hard to explain. Its slow moving and about halfway through I was trying to decide if I was enjoying it or not. By the end I decided I did - but concluded that its definitely not my favorite movie by Gilliam. And that's that. My very professional half ass feelings towards my Tideland experience.

I'd say wait for the rental (Sorry Mr. Gilliam) but do make sure that you watch it when that becomes an option.

Japanese Apartment (lego) Block.

Um...acid trip?

I have to admit part of me wants to move in, however the other part wants to run and scream and hold my head until the hallucinations stop.

"Reversible Destiny Lofts are eye-catching brightly painted lofts that look like a McDonald's play ground through the eyes of someone on LSD. The architecture looks like the aftermath of a size 3 earthquake, a little shaken and lopsided. There is a method behind the designers madness however. Arakawa believes that comfort makes you grow old quick, and that residents, in particular elderly ones, need to be kept on their toes by having their interiors physically challenge them. Lopsided floors force the resident to maintain a good sense of balance , strangely located light switches insist we feel around for the light, whilst small veranda doors will ask you to crawl and bend to enter".

Delivery.

This is a 7 minute CGI short story that is oh so worth the download!

Very cool.

Useless fleeting thought...

When my sister and I were little we used to jump off the kitchen counter and yell out Khaki...Or Cheese Whiz cause we thought they were bad words...

We lived very rebelliously.

I had my bum touched today

I had my bum touched today by a stranger.

At first it felt strange...And then suddenly it became a very normal and blissful experience! It was like the only thing in the world that I wanted was for this strange unknown person to cuddle my bum and softly caress the cheeks for the rest of the day.

If there was a bum touching heaven then I was in it. Its not like I have never had my bum touched before...Its just that at that moment...my bum being touched was the coolest thing ever.

I was in a group of people waiting for the elevator...Suddenly the doors open and the people rush in like cattle to find their favorite elevator riding spots before anyone else stole them. Not knowing or even thinking that my elevator riding spot might be denied me I was left in the wake of everyone else's mad clamor. As I stood there in the cacophony of insanity my bum was touched. Not an innocent brush by technique, but rather a full on left cheek grab and hold. There I was left raped and ravaged starring at an elevator full of potential bum touchers waiting for me to get on as if I was the one with the power to make the thing go where they wanted it to.

I took the stairs instead.

Each floor I passed as I wound up and up I began to realize how nice it was to have Mr. Bottoms groped like that. Be it a man or a woman who did it I will never know...but for the sake of my fantasy and amusement I'll pretend and harbor the thought that it was the pretty, young, brunette girl in the left corner with the horn rimmed glasses. Who knew that a simple bum feel up could create such a satisfying morning of fun.
