I have officially seen every single episode of South Park ever. I've seen all 167 aired episodes, the two original shorts, the extended version of Cartman Gets an Anal Probe, the movie, and all the shorts like South Park on Jay Leno. Now, I just have to wait until March to see any new episodes. I've never seen this many episodes of one show!!!

I Just Beat Super Mario Galaxy
by DeeDeeDee-er on Comments
As you may know, one of the greatest games ever made, was released almost two weeks ago. This game will without a doubt be considered, and remembered as, the single greatest game ever, along with Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This is not just my opinion, gamers all over are debating which game is superior. Some say SMG, some say OoT. If I'm going to make a decision, I'll need to buy OoT on Wii Shop Channel, and play it. I currently say SMG is better, the most fun, creative, and downright entertaining I've ever played. The levels have unbeliebable detail, down to the last little pixel. The game has been thought out so well, with crazy twists, and huge appeal to both a huge gamer or a novice (put me about in between those two, maybe leaning a little more towards hardcore). Games like Legend of Zelda and Metroid Prime are amazing, just as entertaining to me, but simply not as widely appealing. In Zelda and Metroid, the challenges are both hard to figure out, and hard to execute. This makes for a great game, with the appeal of finally pulling it off. However, Super Mario Galaxy has puzzles that are varied, sometimes so simple you can figure it out while fighting off goombas, or some challenging enough that you have to stop, think, and then try, over and over until you figure it out. It's usually pretty intermediate to execute the necessary actiosns as well. Whether you've played games your whole life, or are just starting, this is a perfect game. Along with Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, and Metroid Prime 3, I say these rank right up as the greatest. I may seem a little hasty in saying this, but I'm not exagerrating. Greatest...game...ever. That's final.
In other news, I went to Death Valley, lowest point in the western hemisphere, the past two days. It rocked. Out in this one place, I actually for the first time ever, heard complete silence with no wind, water, birds, talking, music, anything. I saw naturally polished marble, 120 foot tall sand dunes, and stood out the sun roof of a car and took pictures. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving, I'm going to San Francisco (God help me) with my dad to see friends.
I'm seeing Social Distortion live on December 23rd. That's right, while the rest of you are sleeping or drunk of your a$$es, I'll be rocking to "Story of My Life" and "Reach For the Sky." By the way,, I watched a full concert video of Smashiing Pumpkins live from Philadelphia, and it rocked. I'll post it when I want to. They played "Cherub Rock" and "Stand Inside Your Love"", two rocking as f*** songs. "SIYL" is about the only exceptional song from "MACHINA", which I've discovered is SP's absolute worse. The only other decent song besides the aforementioned is "Heavy Metal Machine", which f*****g rocks live, but is only okay on the album. In other Pumpkins news, "Siamese Dream" still rocks socks, as does "Gish", "Mellon Collie", "Adore", and to a lesser extent, "Zeitgeist". Did you know "Ten" by Pearl Jam also rocks? I learned how to play that with my own solo, where I play the same solo beginning (the really fast part), and then do my own rocking improvising, cause I rock.
For Christmas, I'm getting a home recording thing, to record covers and original songs, hopefully a Line 6 Spider III 120 watt amp, which rocks as I've been told, or if not that, a Jimi Hendrix Experience pedal, which also rocks, sh*t load of CDs (namely "Adore", "Vs.", "RHCP: Live Hyde Park", "Contraband", etc.), few shirts, video games, the Social Distortion tix I mentioned, a Nirvana live DVD, and a bunch of surprises probably. That's it. Did you know I rock? In fact, I had a weird a$$fifteen minute period of pure improvising, with my chorus pedal on almost non stop, but no wah-wah cause the batteries almost dead, making it suck. It was better than anything f****** Green Day's done since 1995, or anything anybody who's emo has dreamed of doing. They don't know how to play the blues so well the guitar starts to cry, or probably how to work a pedal. For that matter, they probably don't know a singgle scale, or know what a pentatonic is (Hint: five notes). In unrelated matter, that's the end of this blog, or is it? If you wanna keep reading, read the blank white spot, until you realize you're doing absolutely nothing.

Students VS. Teacher Volleyball Game/Music Update
by DeeDeeDee-er on Comments
Today at school, we had a volleyball game where the ten students voted by the grade played any teachers who volunteered. I and four others received the highest number of votes, meaning we would be the players. Five girls were voted in too, with six at a time like all games. I was a starter in the left back position, and we got off to a very early lead. Once I was in the front row, htting and blocking, I was wowing the whole school when I hit straight down, saved it diving with arm, and blocked my P.E. teacher who is probably about 6-8" taller than me. In the back, I was the only one who could pass my P.E. teacher's jump serve. The whole team was really good, but only me and the setter had ever okayed club volleyball, so we were the best. I received the most compliments after the game, from friends, people who aren't my friend, nerds, teachers, and teammates. In best of three games, we won in two, 25-20, and 27-25. We would have killed the teachers second game, if my Algebra teacher, and both teams hadn't worked to stretch out the game, by making bad calls, calling replays in the teacher's favor often, and giving us a red card. We still won, and at the end of the day, the vice principal (who played) got on the loudspeaker and said that we would have a rematch in December.
Music update: What I'm listening to right now: "Ten" by Pearl Jam, more specifically, "Even Flow" is playing right now. I'm ashamed that I only had "Vitalogy" until yesterday, when I actually bought the album. It cracks my top ten, easily, being inducted along with "In Utero" in replacement of "Nevermind", "Libertad", and "In Rainbows". Big changes this year. Pearl Jam is also crawiling up the ladder of favorite bands quickly, probably to place high within the top ten once I get "Vs.". "Why Go", "Alive", "Even Flow", and "Black" are my favorites.
Guitar Update: I'm still perfecting "Mayonaise" so I can cover it well. I've been playing alot of Soundgarden lately.
"Mayonaise" Cover Practice/Tried Super Mario Galaxy
by DeeDeeDee-er on Comments
Today, I was busy. I got out of school, went to the Farmer's Market (f**k the produce sh*t there), ate a hot dog, chips, kettle corn, and drank two sodas, then I pitched a baseball to help my friends warm=up, in which I got hit in the lip, it's now swollen. I went home, and picked up my guitar, and my iPod. I began figuring out how to play a guitar pat that replaces the vocals. I finished that, and then I moved on to learning the second guitar part. During this, I learned that the way I played the intro had to be changed to fit the tuning of the guitar. After realizing it's easier, I'm just not use to it yet(I'll practice in the morning, I'll have it by noon), I'm gonna go to sleep after this. Here's the whole tab I figured out.

Guess this line.
"It's a world wide suicide."
Wow, could that be more obvious. Here's another because that one's pathetically easy.
"It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich."
There, that's a little harder.
I pre-ordered and played Suoer Mario Galaxy yesterday. It could easily dethrone Zelda and Metroid from their hailed position as th ultimate Wii games, and possibly my two favorites ever, a little tough though. The controls were so simple, move with the analog sitck, jump with A, do a typical triple jump by jumping three times (landing inbetween), point to pick things up, and press Z and shake the nunchuk to do a spinning punching attack. I only played part of one level, but it was so amazing to play. I picked up a bee costume in it, and it was hillarious, yet so perfect in the game. It allowed Mario to fly for a brief period of time, until you touched water. There were many new enemies to fight, such as little hot pink animals that shoot boulders at you. The only thing that could be wrong, is if those awful, "collect the 8 red coins" missions are still in it. If they are, not a big problem, I'll just skip them, as you only need 60 stars to beat the game, and thre are 120. I'll probably go for all 120 anyways. I'm anxiously awaiting 2:00 tomorrow when Game Stop gets their first shipment in. Tomorrow's Veterans Day in America (one advantage of being a so called "yank", we're so stupid we have Veteran's and Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving:all the more holidaysfor me), so I have no school. I'll pick it up at 2, play straight until 10, take a and break half way through to tell my friend how much bottom it kicks, and then maybe review it at 11. I made sure to get my share of guitar in this weekend before the game comes out, so my chops stay prime riffs (hahahahahaha I'm funny). My "Mayonaise" cover is gonna rock. More than you ever imagined. I've practiced it so much I don't think there's a way I'll mess it up, even though I'll probably try 5 times because of my perfectionism with things like this, unlike those videos I made just for fun. Later.
I Didn't Mean To Take Up All Your Sweet Time...
by DeeDeeDee-er on Comments
I got lazy. I'm sick of posting a whole song for people to guess at, so get that, and you win the prize of...er, well, just guess it right.
While your thinking, here's another.
"I'm looking California, but feelin' Minnesota"
And another
"I, I'm a one way motorway"
And even more, you know what, there's ten.
4. "No I'm not your preacher and I'm not your physician, I'm just trying to reach ya, I'm a rebel with a mission!"
5. "Break the chains of featherweights and giants"
6. "One baby to another says I'm lucky to have met you"
7. "Mother weep the years I'm missing, all our time that can't be given back"
8. "Well good times and good times go, I only wish the good times would last a little longer"
9. "Bang bang you're dead, hole in your head"
10. "Pumpin the blood through the heart of New Orleans, she's the mystic heat of the Bourbon St. dream"
BONUS:
"I refuse to abuse what is kind to the Muse, but it's there and it's happening to me ___________"
(The blank is the song's name)
I "Cherub Rock" right now with my new strings. No literally, I wanna play "Cherub Rock" right now. Â
I Forgot How Nice New Strings Are
by DeeDeeDee-er on Comments
I got my guitar re-strung for the first time, three months after I got my new guitar. They rust as fast as I play near the beach, and it made it hard to rock. But some frsh Elixirs fixed that. My calices glide up and down the board, oh yeah, and their sick, my sign of rocking,
I rock at the following:
"Mayonaise" (gonna record a cover soon)
"Readymade"
"Tarantula"
"Suck My Kiss"
"Everlong"
"The Last Fight"
"The Pretender"
"Heart-Shaped Box"
"Outshined"
I haven't rocked these for a while
"Purple Haze"
"Blood Sugar Sex Magik"
"Smells Like Teen Spirit"
I will rock at
"She Builds Quick Machines"
"Black Hole Sun"
"Voodoo Child"
I plan on rocking at
"Alive"
"Drain You"
"Geek USA"
"Spoonman"
"Let It Roll"
Those are the songs I'm thinking of right now/
Ratatouille rocks. Even if it's animated and G-Rated, it rocks socks.
I'm Home (Not even home) Sick From School
by DeeDeeDee-er on Comments
I caught either a cold or the flu recently, so I'm not at school. There are construction workers remodeling our bsthroom, so I'm not even home. This is driving me insane!!! I want my South Park DVDs, my guitar, my Wii, and at least a volleyball, but I don't have any of those. Thre's nothing on TV either, my iPods dead, and I have to use my step-dad's laptop. Maybe he has some South Pak in iTunes. I'm still bored though. And I have two new albums to enter my top ten, "In Rainbows" and "Libertad". No clue what they'll replace. Here's some Velvet Revolver videos from when I saw them.

Smashing Pumpkins: Sessions @AOL
by DeeDeeDee-er on Comments
Bask in their live awesomeness. The songs from "Zeitgeist" are so much better live, at least 10x. The older songs are amazing too, especially "Tonight,Tonight", and the new song "Superchrist" is awesome.
