July 2008

7/7/08
Last night I saw a guy walking around with a baby in a backpack or papoose or whatever. I laughed because I thought "What if that guy's a vampire and the baby's the resevoir for his personal hydration unit?" Poor baby with a tube in the carotid.

Monsters in NetHack are associated by letters. "Z" is for zombies and among their ranks are ghouls. This serves to make, for me anyway, editing end.c a bit tougher.

Currently I'm working on sounds.c but I'm missing something very simple which doesn't allow it to compile. What I'm trying to do is make it so on the night of a full moon, a zombie will say "I can feel myself rotting", on the night of a new moon a zombie will say "Brains. Braaaiiins." and everywhere inbetween a zombie will simply groan.

Right now the code will not compile or the code will work but I will not get the desired result.

Let's not discuss trying to make a foodstuff which will pacify a monster rather than tame the monster because that will have me getting ahead of myself.

I was brushing my teeth when I discovered that I wasn't using Colgate red gel but a mixture of blood and cherry NyQuil. When I finished my dental hygiene routine and left the bathroom I discovered my bathroom was no longer in my apartment but a larger place I've never encountered in waking life or dreaming life.

That's when elmgrows came in like Kramer from Seinfeld. "What are you doing here? I thought you were avoiding everyone." He laughed and said he's been busy and sat down to watch TV. That's when I knew I wasn't in my place because the television was receiving actual television programming rather than being a monitor for DVDs and vidyagaems.

So I went back in the bathroom and closed the door hoping it would take me back home.
