Guitar Hero Harmonica Picture
About a week ago, I posted my review of Guitar Hero: On Tour, and I mentioned that it came with a Guitar Hero Harmonica, and I think somewhere in the article, I said I'd post a picture, so here it is in all it's glory.

Random Ramblings
Well, last night I was really mad and tired, hence the terrible blog post. Tonight I'm tired, but not as mad.
I signed up for eMusic.com, just to get the 25 free songs. So far, I've only gotten 4, because it's all Indie music and I can't find much of anything I want. They DO, have, however, all (I think) of Jonathan Coulton's albums, both of What Made Milwaukee Famous's albums, four of the Young Fresh Fellows albums, a few of They Might Be Giants albums (I finally got my digital hands on Man, It's So Loud in Here), the album from The Giraffes that Chris Ballew was on, Chris and Tad's only album (which I already have), and two of PUSA's albums (both of which I already have), so I'm sure I can find something to get.
The Left 4 Dead pre-order demo came out today. This game is EPIC. Sure, there are a few bugs here and there, but if they can work them out, I can easily see this a the Game of the Year, although this year, it has some pretty tough competitors. I'm trying to talk my brother into pre-ordering, so he can get the demo, and ACD wants it, but he'll have to talk his mom into letting him get it. I hope he can do it, too, because no-one should miss out on this game.
AUGH, I'm so behind on NaNo. I haven't written anything for a few days now, and I'm just stuck in the story. I'm thinking of just writing portions of stories, and then compiling them all in one book, you know, so you can make up the ending for yourself. That way, you will never be let down by a shitty ending. Kids today need to use their imagination more anyway.

Hmmm
Well. Let's talk about censorship. My mom saw me posting a huge post about a really bad time I had getting a haircut tonight, but she made me stop. She thinks I'm being "unreasonable". If you would've read my blog post, maybe you would think so too, but I don't really care. I'm pissed. I was going to shorten it down to a tl;dr format, but even that would probably be deemed "unreasonable" by my mom. I think she's the one being unreasonable, but whatever. Let's just leave it at "I think that two hours is too long to spend getting my hair cut. I have many better things to do than listen to gossip about people that I don't even know, and I don't appreciate being bitched at for not having my driver's permit and for spending 'too much time on the internet'."

RB2 PUSA DLC KICKS AWESOME!
The PUSA Track Pack 01 (!!!) for Rock Band 2 came out today, and it kicks major ass. It's especially strong on Bass, which is great, because there are generally very few bass-oriented tracks in RB2.
In other PUSA-related news, their new music video for Ladybug, which has been exclusive to Xbox Live for around two weeks now, was supposed to be put up on the internet today, but I haven't seen it yet.
In actual Presidential news, both Obama and McCain suck ass. I should probably care more about the election, but I just don't.

*BRRAAPP*
Ugh, I've been burping up hard-boiled eggs for an hour. They're damn good the first time down, but not so much the second time through. I don't like the yolk, though. I used to, but I just can't get myself to eat it now. I cooked the eggs, though, and that's like the first thing I've cooked that didn't involve a microwave in like, I don't know, a year maybe?
I had such a strange dream last night. Two, actually. I don't remember the second one, though. Oh god, this is so weird. I just remembered one of the details of the dream...it makes absolutely no sense. Anyway, here's what I do remember.
I was in a car dealership, and it was really tall. like, maybe four stories or something. I was in the top floor, and I was in a cylindrical room with spiral stairs in it. I don't remember if I was racing somebody or if I was running away from them, but nevertheless, I was trying to be faster than one of the people who worked at the car dealership. Anyway, there was a door to the outside on all the floors, and they were all locked except for the ground floor, so once I got out that door, I ran out to the parking lot where they keep all the cars, and right up front, I saw a minivan with no doors and no windshield. I ran over to it and jumped in, and then I realized that the pedals were weird. There were three pedals in all, and they were, starting from the left, a reverse pedal, a forward pedal, and then the brake pedal. So, not only were the pedals switched, the brake pedal was in the passenger side floorboard.
Anyways, I jumped in and took a few seconds to figure out the pedals, and then I took off (for some reason, it didn't need a key or anything) and drove through the glass double-doors and started driving through the car dealership. Another weird thing about the pedals was that they were really loose and the car didn't go very fast. It felt exactly like what I would expect a golf-kart to drive. So, I was driving through the place, and most everybody was just talking on their phones and not even paying attention to me, although a few people gave me weird looks.
I kept driving (through several more panes of glass), and ended up in what looked like the clothing departments in Wal-Mart or something. I ended up driving all the way to the front of the store right behind some people who were leaving and one lady said "I'm never coming here again." and when I heard that, I felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. After I drove through those doors, I just went out and parked in the parking lot with all of the other shoppers. I was lucky and got one of the front spaces, too.
So I walked back in and was just minding my own business, and being overwhelmingly surprised and happy to see that nobody had realized that I was the crazy guy who just drove a really slow van through the store not two minutes ago, and then I saw this girl about my age following me and she said "I know it was you." I was like "Whatever.", so she started yelling "SECURITY!!!", trying to get me in trouble, but nobody was paying attention to her, so she went over to a girl who was stuffing clothes in her purse, obviously shoplifting. The second girl started yelling "HELP ME, I'M BLIND!", trying to help the first girl get someone over to get me in trouble, but her attempts weren't working, either. Just then I saw the first girl start shoplifting, too, and I started yelling "SHOPLIFTER!" and three guards ran over and arrested the girls.
After that, I started walking outside, extremely giddy that I had just gotten away with all that. I got my cellphone out (it was weird because it was my old phone, and not my iPhone.), to call my mom to pick me up, but I couldn't remember what number I had her speed dial set to, and I couldn't remember her phone number, so I just started messing with my phone trying to get into the address book. I was walking the whole time, and by now I was close to the end of that parking lot, and I was walking next to four bikers, and when I did, one of them stuck his hand out and grabbed my face and I said "Don't do that, please." and one of the other bikers said "Yeah, leave him alone.", so I just kept on walking. When I got to the end of the parking lot, I was just walking around the back of a Bank for some reason, and then the girl came back and was taunting me and stuff, trying to get me in trouble, saying stuff like "Why don't you go back in the store? You won't get in trouble.", and I was just like "Piss off. You're just trying to get me caught.", and then I woke up and had to pee really bad.
I think this is the strangest dream I've ever had.

More NaNo #2
Well, so far I have 4265 words. I ended up typing about 1500 more words after I posted yesterday, but I haven't written much today. I'm still about 1000 words above what I need for today, so I can afford to just stop for tonight. I've just been really tired lately. I went to sleep at like, 7 P.M. yesterday.
Oh, and if you didn't know, today is Daylight Savings Time (or just coming out of it, I don't remember. I do know, though, that you set your clocks back an hour.), so don't forget to set all your clocks.
I played some more Fallout 3 today. It's just so freaking awesome. I've been procrastinating, though. I haven't played t as much as I've wanted to. See, I get scared really easily. I even used to be afraid of my bedroom curtains when I was 3 (but that's an entirely different story for another time) and just watching my mom play Myst would give me nightmares for a week. I was scared to death of those talking books. Fallout 3 is a lot like Oblivion in the sense that it's got "dungeon"-like places, and those things scared the shit out of me. It's just so dark and creepy, and several times people and enemies just pop out from around the corner and almost literally scare the shit out of me. FO3 and Oblivion are both fantastic games, but those freaking dungeons scare me half to death.

More NaNo
Well, NaNoWriMo starts today. I've gotten 1857 words so far. You only need 1666 words per day to make the 50k in 30 days, but since I finished today's early, I'll probably write even more later, because I know that eventually I'm going to get bored writing, so it'll be good to be ahead, just in case I miss a day or something.
Mallory (my ten-year-old sister, if you didn't know) has been bugging me a lot lately. She seems to get obsessed with TV shows really easily, and it seems like every time she has talked to me in the past month, she starts the conversation with "Hey Matthew, I was just watching Family Matters and..." She even woke me up one night to tell me her theory as to why Steve and Stefan (Steve's clone (she didn't know he was a clone at the time, hence her theorizing)) can be in the same room at the same time. It's really getting annoying.
Oh, well, I'm going to go play Guitar Hero.
