AAAAAAAAND

-HOTEL DUSK 2 CONFIRMED YES YES YES MAN BETWEEN THIS AND PERFECT PROSECUTOR I'M GONNA DIE
-drove for the first time a few days ago. a couple years late, but whatever. it was easy. need to take driver's ed.
hahaha i was perfectly calm the whole time, but mom was all freaked out (at least during the start). it probably didn't help that my reaction to making mistakes was just WHOOPS HAHAHA THAT WAS KINDA COOL
-john had his 31st birthday. looking forward to properly celebrating when he and sherah come up for thanksgiving!
-turns out that my step-grandma's breast cancer is worse than they thought, so she'll have to get a double-mastectomy. she'll still be fine, as far as anyone can tell, but it's a shame she has to go through all that. i hope she calls off the thanksgiving reunion since she really ought to just rest after that, but she's so stubborn. i dunno. we'll see.
-mom: they're not showing "this is it" anymore... i guess now it's "that was that."
-saw "men who stare at goats." it was hilarious and fun, and i kept thinking of psychonauts the whole time.

GOD THIS ENTRY IS CROWDED

All right, time for another episode of Sanitarium! What on Earth could this game possibly throw at us now?

And for something totally unrelated to this entry, aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww ;A;

holidaaaaayyy I guess I'll close this on December 1st? There's still time to get in if you haven't already! :O

I spent pretty much my whole day riding from place to place trying to get a state ID, and I still don't have it because I forgot my social security number. N-nobody told me I needed that. At least now I know what I need to do...
Speaking of which, have you ever listened to music in the car, and then looked at random people on the street and pretended that whatever song you were listening to was their theme song? Because... it's really funny. bored old guy walking down the street WHO'S BENDING DOWN TO GIVE ME A RAINBOW

Heading out of town uhhh tomorrow, I guess, since it's the middle of the night right now, and then my brother's going to be visting us, sooo you're probably not going to hear from me a lot. :O SO SANITARIUM!!!!!!
When we last left off, Max became a little girl. What next?!

Hey, 'hope you guys had a safe Halloween. I was going to go as Ness, but I couldn't find the stuff so I went as Sherlock Holmes instead, albeit a very... shabby version of Sherlock Holmes. We just grabbed stuff around the house and a lot of it was old and several sizes too big for me, and then I was wearing my "fancy" pants which are actually kind of old and beat up, and then, of course, I just have a scruffy look to me in general, what with my shaggy hair and bad posture and gangly build ansdkfgjh. So I was like if Sherlock Holmes was a hobo, I guess. IT WAS LOTS OF FUN THOUGH AND I HAVE TONS OF CANDY SO IT'S ALL GOOD 8D

Come to think of it, I don't really have any nice clothes. Most of my clothes are handed down so they're faded and torn and don't fit me all that well, and my new clothes are just baggy t-shirts (many of which come from thrift stores). I should get some good-lookin' clothes, though. It'd be good. I can clean up pretty nice.

Man, so busy. It's 2 AM as I start this and I've finally got a chance to breathe. I am going to take advantage of this time and use it to bring you some more SANITARIUM!!!!!!
WHEN WE LAST LEFT OFF WE TALKED TO SOME PEOPLE. WHAT'S INSIDE THAT CHAPEL?!

Anyway, I hate to say it, but I've run into some technical issues with the game. Whenever I talk to someone the text will zip by REALLY fast, and if I let the game run for long enough then it crashes. I THINK I might've fixed the crashing by setting it to run in compatibility mode for '98, but I'm still not sure how to fix the text. The conversation text is mostly normal, I think, but all the "in-game" text like observations and monologues and such will literally go by in about half a second, which is a real problem because those only happen once, and some of them can be pretty funny and interesting. So I don't want to leave those out.

So... any ideas, guys? :O It'd be nice to fix it, but I'm not too worried. If worse comes to worse, I'll put away the eyepatch and gold tooth and get the game legit. 'Might even be better that way, since it'd probably fix the sound and video problems.

Dang, that took longer than I thought. Now I just need to grab a quick shower and squeeze in some reading before hitting the sack and HEY WISH DID YOU EVER FIND OUT WHAT TIME WE'RE MEETING OR

Haven't forgotten about the sketches! I may not have time until the day after tomorrow, but we'll see~ I can probably knock some off in the morning.

I sure have been making a lot of icons lately. that was not a blatant advertisement at all

My grandpa took us all to the horse races as an early birthday treat :D I have the sweetest grandpa in the world. We ate dinner there and placed bets (won $14, woooooo), and then... I think sometime around the 6th race it started storming, and some lightning hit the building and the power went out and the races were canceled. WOO
I didn't mind it, though! I actually really like it whenever the power goes out. It's like it always seems to take down this big social barrier and ~*unite*~ people, in a way. has anyone else noticed this or am i just romanticizing things way too much
Speaking of birthdays, the thought of turning seventeen feels so weird. I know it's not really old or anything, but it's... well, it'll be the oldest I've ever been. I guess I just feel like I'm starting to become an adult and I don't have a whole lot to show for it (one of these days I will drive a car you guys, I swear). But maybe I'm pressuring myself too much...

WELL ENOUGH OF THAT, LET'S PLAY SOME MORE SANITARIUM!

IN THE LAST EPISODE, I WASTED EVERYONE'S TIME. WHAT WILL I DO TODAY?!?!?!?!

Considering making a lot of my old entries private, as they are things of horrible shame to me, now. Then again, it is my history. Hmmmm.

Man, I really wish my back and ribs would stop hurting

Good News: I'm gonna see my brother soon, I think! Either he's coming here or we're going there, I dunno.
Bad News: I am 90% sure that we can't go to Anime Expo due to various problems. We'll keep an eye on it, but I seriously doubt we'll get to go. If anyone else is going then be sure to be extra fantardy towards David Hayter, just for me.

SO ANYWAY, IT'S TIME FOR SOME SANITARIUM! In the last episode we wrecked a stolen car because we were under some sort of delusion, and then we wound up in a tower full of other crazy people, and then we revived a (supposedly) talking statue that transported us somewhere. CAN THINGS GET ANY WORSE? LET'S FIND OUT!

( Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny. )

On a slightly related note, these guys have some of the funniest Let's Play videos I've ever seen (Viddler account/YouTube account), and this guy has some of the funniest game reviews I've ever seen (if you haven't heard of him already).

Jeeeeeezzz I am so behind on everything, it's not even funny. I'd go into detail, but just thinking about it all makes me feel tired.
