Bob Driving all over The Bay looking for the right G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures and heartbreakingly striking out. #knowingishalfthebattle
I’m private
PICS
And, here's my answers to the questions you asked on New Challenger:
All the information you could ever want to know about me, yea? You want to know more?
Since I'm in the final throws of, well, finals I've stopped taking care of those basic things like showering.
So, just remember, it's not "oops I didn't shower" hair...it's Brigitte Bardot hair:
Moi je joue!
In related personal hygiene news: My razor > your razor. (It's math.) Emo kids everywhere are weeping (mostly in general...but, also because my razor's so cool.)
And, right now, I'm super-busy working on scanning a bunch of pics and flash for a friend's piece in Tattoo Artist Magazine (I think that's the name--the uber big one [as in heavy] that goes to all the industry people.) It's a 17-page piece so you can imagine all the pics. If your an artist and you get the magazine, keep an eye out:
But, right now-right now, I'm exhausted and I'm headed to bed. Keep your fingers crossed that I make it out of finals alive. I'm not even celebrating Fanksgiving 'cause of 'em.

Here's the New Challenger review of Skyrim featuring Anthony Carboni and me! (WOOT!) Check it out, like it, and let me know what you think. 
I hung out in the "talent room"
And, got camera ready:
Then I passed out on one of the couches at school:
No drool...but, probably some awkward snoring.
The video of the awesome questions everyone asked will hit the internets on Monday. So, stay tuned!

Challenge Accepted! Guess who's going to be on the next episode of New Challenger?! That's right, I'm taking my geek rants 3D! Watch me and Anthony Carboni get our geek on this Thursday! We're going to tackle the life-sucking game that is Skyrim.
But, unfortunately, Penny Arcade has already found me out...this is totally ME!!!
And, speaking of Skyrim...I bet you wondered how they became "Dragon Born."
Unfortunately, I'm entering the final days of the semester. I'm about to crawl into a bunker and wait for the apocalypse that is finals to pass...so, you won't hear from me for a couple of weeks. (In theory...we all know it's hard for me to stay away from you guys!)
But, don't worry...I'll return to my geeky/ranty self by December.
In the mean time, I think I'm slowing turning the rest of the student body into geeks...I found this on the board this morning:
Fellow student body for the win!!!
And, here's some unrelated hilarity:

Some rant-inducing information (thanks to the awesome Elvis Trooper) has just been brought to my attention and I couldn't help but blog about it. (Spoiler Alert!)
A couple of blogs ago, I mentioned that I was really enjoying American Horror Story: there was a deeper meaning at work, but I couldn't articulate where it really fit in the genre. (horror, drama...?) But, I've since found the niche in which it fits, and it's an incredibly well-appointed cloister filled with nuance and amazing allusions.
But, others seem to be missing the undertones of the show and, as a result, lash out at what they don't understand. Those people think the latest episode "went too far". If you haven't seen the last episode, you probably shouldn't read that article and you should stop reading this blog. Go watch all 6 episodes then come back and chat/rant with me. But, if you've seen it or don't mind spoilers, let's get into the real meaning behind the show and debunk this trumped-up allegation of line-crossing.
The core of the argument surrounding last Wednesday's episode cries, "hey this actually happened." They think the show's portrayal of the Columbine murders is ill-placed in an otherwise "campy" horror show. Basically, the "horror" hits too close to home.
But, to be fair, the bulk of most of the episodes have ACTUALLY HAPPENED. (And, that's the whole point of the show...the reality of horror in our society.)
The home invasion in episode two is based off Richard Speck who got into a nurses' boarding house the same way the show portrays and systematically raped and killed nine of them. The Manson home invasions soon followed and the late 1960's American culture learned the horror that has become a norm for us in the modern age: you're not always safe in your own home.
But, according to the episode 6 naysayers, up until now the show's supposedly been light and campy? Really?
They're only bent out of shape because this particular "horror" (Columbine) falls within recent memory so the shock and horror is more sincere...more relate-able. But, to someone around during the rise of the home invasions like Speck and Manson this would touch the same "disturbing" chord.
Honestly, the show is ultimately about the societal horrors through the generations (home invasions in the 1960's, baby snatching in the 20's, etc.), the social horrors we inflict on each other, and the horror of the decline of the family unit. Just because this one deeply effected a particular part of the population doesn't mean it's bad...it means it did exactly what it was supposed to do. It horrified them...it's just not the "horror" they were expecting.
This is a hard first season for this show...because it's difficult to explain or define what the show is to people. Because the show spans what "horror" means in the interpersonal and sociological relations as they evolve over generations...it's difficult for our current generation to see something called "American Horror Story" and expect anything other than our current embodiment of the horror genre: the teenage slash-fest. (Which, technically, is gore not horror.)
But, this show analyzes the trauma and horror of the personal relations: the baby snatching (a la Lindbergh) in the 20's, the home invasions (a la Speck) in the 60's, the breakdown of the family unit in the 80's, and the current struggle of the homosexual family unit in modern society in the 2000's.
It also deals with the societal horror of gender roles...The "other woman" Hayden continually asserts, "I'm a woman and I matter." But, in the end she's buried and forgotten...the man who used her and discarded her casually, eternally stands on top of her drinking iced tea. We only see her have a moment of bliss whilst she soaks in the tub pretending the be Mrs. Harmon...only to have the horror that she'll never be a woman and she never mattered attempt to, literally, break down the door to her fantasy.
In the third episode viewer's realize Moira's (the maid) a victim of how men see her and she's stuck in that continual hell for all eternity--fate sealed by a woman scorned--when, deep down, she's really this dottering old woman who's frightened of how men treat her and use her...and, now, she'll never get the one thing she wants: to be with her mother. Her heart breaks as she watches her own body being covered in cement and she dies all over again. Horror upon horror.
Underpinning all of it seems to be the house's desire for a baby...and how all this horror relates to the basic family structure. (After all, the show's theme is Tainted Love.)
And, this is not the Jack London effect. This is not a simple, "story about a dog." Very calculated allusions are placed throughout each episode to drive home these underlying messages. Throughout the season we've been hearing a particular whistle whenever Tate has flashback to the school shooting. Many of us recognize it as the theme from Kill Bill--which makes sense considering Tate's frequent mention of Tarantino as an idol. But, the song is originally from a 60's movie called Twisted Nerve about a psychotic kid with an obsessive mother, a sibling with Down's syndrome, who becomes a killer...but a teenage girl thinks she can save him. It's a wonderful allusion that smacks those that know over the head and sails right past those that don't.
But, there's even subtler references that probably go unnoticed. Everything in frame is important: a license plate, the plate frame, a book on a table, the angle of the camera, the paintings on the walls, the pictures in the stained glass...all work to hint at an underlying theme.
I think it's interesting that, on the surface, you could take it for a basic horror story (and it generally works as that) but if you look deeper there's a layer of significance running through the whole thing.
And, since I've ranted long enough, here's some random hilarity. See? I'm not all bad.

Yay! You found the "Droids You're Looking For!" And, just in time too...Lucas was talking about making some edits...
We're so glad you guys liked it. It was seriously a year in the making, but I think our little Rebel Alliance made it all possible.
Everyone's been saying, "Ooh, 11/11/11 you should make a wish at 11:11. It only happens once every 100 years."
I have two things to say about that:
1. Actually, it happens twice.
2. I don't have to make a wish, I had it preordered.
The reviews are rolling in for Skyrim and they're all super-high. I even read one that said, "the most engaging single-player experience ever made."
But, so far, my only negative rating is the CE. (You all know how I'm a sucker for a good CE.) I really wish it came with something more exciting. I don't believe in figures. Really, for the amount of toys and stuff I collect I don't have room for these gigantic things and they're generally never as good as the stuff I already have. I swear, I loved my GoW3 CE, but that gi-normous figure is still in the box.
It really should have come with this:
And, I would totally wear that to class.
I'm also very upset with MW3 for not having a Prestige Edition this time around. As someone who doesn't really utilize the multiplayer, it's pointless to buy a CE geared entirely toward online play. Obviously, I'm not going to buy all the DLC's so I wouldn't save myself any money buy getting the $50 elite membership.
But, that's all valid logic...the geek in me is just pissed I don't get any cool night vision goggles or race cars with cameras on them. It's seriously difficult to downgrade from stylized spy gear to a download card.
In other news...
My doll infatuation is growing. But, to be fair, this is a very special case:
It's so cold here!!! (I'm a poon when it comes to cold.) I prefer it when it's unseasonably, uncomfortably, unbearably, swelteringly hot. Otherwise known as "Bob-o weather."
But, with the temperature the way it is...It's definitely bear-hat weather.
That's all for now. It's down to the last weeks of school and I'm horribly busy and stressed for finals and whatnot. So, I'm really not going to get a good chance to play Skyrim and MW3 the way I want to until mid-December.
That means you all have to enjoy them and let me know how awesome they are!
And, as always, here's some unrelated hilarity...
Can you tell I like picking on Aquaman?
Toodles!

Remember, remember...Great Scott!
56 years ago today, Dr. Emmett Brown Fell off his toilet while hanging a clock and envisioned the flux capacitor...making time travel possible!
But, the streets here in Oakland have been more Guy Fawkes than Great Scotts lately...
Protesters occupied my dinner...I just wanted a burrito to occupy my face.
Needless to say, the streets of Oakland have been a little crazy lately. You think she needs a permit for that?

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
the Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent to blow up King and Parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below to prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s mercy he was catch’d with a dark lantern and lighted match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Hip hip hoorah!
A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o’ cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we’ll say ol’ Pope is dead.
Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah hoorah!
I have a bunch of FUN, AMAZING STUFF on the horizon. So, as soon as I can let you all know about it, I will. Until then, just set your phasers to excited...and be ready to set them to stun.
In the meantime...
When I enter "panic mode" I tend to go left...sounds pretty funny, but this is a dangerous concept when I'm driving. So, I had to get this shirt:
I also ordered some new nail polish for my birthday and it just arrived...it's designed to mimic Jessica Rabbit's red dress. Swoon!
And, here's some unrelated hilarity...
Toodles!
Achievement Unlocked!
Guess who has the two most commented sets in MR for the past three months?
AND! Guess who has the two most commented MR sets of all time?
WOO! Really, that's more of an achievement for you guys leaving all the wonderful and amazing comments...So, let's all share in a woo. Ready? 1...2...3: WOO!
Yea, feels good.
I recently figured out I watch entirely too much TV.
And, part of that epiphany lead to my decision to now and hereafter refer to Walking Dead as: Team Bad Decision. I've actually just made the satisfying decision to stop watching...I can't take the characters stupidity & the terrible writing.
I really wanted to love a show about zombies...but, they put too many goddamn ridiculously stupid humans in it. I know this is sacrilegious to say and the part of me that really loves zombies feels terrible for bailing on such an amazing undead epic.
But, honestly, that's looking at the show through undead glasses. It's not the epic that it should be.
This is all I'm missing...and, really, #1 isn't enough to get me that pissed off every Sunday.
I've also started watching the new season of Misfits.
And, again, I'm still not as into it as I want to be. But, I did love Robert Sheehan's hilarious timing. I continue to watch it because it's a bit entertaining and I really liked the character Simon 'cause he reminded me of my awkward high school self.
There's still some funny writing...
This was my favourite line from the premiere:
But, now they're slowly turning him into a badass who doesn't button his shirts all the way to the top...
See? First season: top button.
This season: no top button.
I really want Simon to go back to doing this to Joy Division:
My favourite holiday has come and gone...I haz a sad.
I really wish Hallloween got more celebratory preparation, like Christmas. There were Christmas decorations up for sale in stores before Halloween had even started. Wouldn't it be awesome if we had two and a half months of Halloween preparations and decorations? Sounds pretty good to me.
All the votes have been tallied...the results are in. This person won Halloween:
Thanks to Kemper's awesome photoshop skills I can see what my tattoo looks like on someone else. Very cool!!!
And, this conversation may have happened:
"Oh, your Diablo merkin arrived."
"I think you mean Murloc."
Toodles!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
And, an extremely heartfelt thank you to SG member 50ChevyTruck who got me R2 Trouble off my wishlist for my birthday!!!
I'm gonna do something fun with it to say thanks...I just gotta get some quality free time to do it! Promise!
I spent my birthday going to class (even if I was dead, I really can't miss class), sitting on my couch working on an 8 page paper, eating ALL the vegan sushi, and watching some of my favourite shows including the new American Horror Story and an AMAZING episode of QI.
Have I explained to you exactly why QI is the best show ever? I think I have, but if you need more convincing:
And, most importantly...
What made this particular episode so extra special? Why, Professor Brian Cox of course!
You know, I look at amazing people like Professor Brian Cox and I sigh...if only I were better at math. I would have mastered those paralax equations and my minor could have been a major and I could be stroking the Large Hadron Collider right about now.

Ross Noble: This is the one thing I've wanted to ask you of all these moons which one has the ewoks?
Brian Cox: That would be Titan. Titan has a thicker atmosphere than the earth so you'd have to be furry.
This is probably the best part of the whole show...
But, I actually found the whole episode here...and you really should stop everything that you're doing to watch it.
Oh, and if you ever wondered who to follow on twitter:
This is going on about 8 blocks away from me:
And, here's some unrelated hilarity:
The culmination of Bobtoberfest begins. Tomorrow's my birthday!!! You doin' anything special to celebrate?
Check out how cool I am:
I can't stop watching that gif.
Seriously tho, all your awesome and hilarious comments on Kemper and I's new multi, "Droids You're Looking For." It totally made our day yesterday! And, it's the best birthday present a girl could ask for.
But, you should probably keep the support going...'cause once Lucas starts editing it, well...
(I made that for WilWheaton's blog, but I thought maybe I should share it here too. But, you should still go read his blogs. He wrote a great short story that's perfectly timed for the Halloween season and wonderful written...it reminds me of one of my favourite short stories: The Halloween Tree.)
Speaking of blogs, I talk toys and tattoos in my latest SuicideGirls Blog article "Not Really a Barbie Girl, In a Barbie World." Discussing the confusing backlash surrounding Tokidoki artist Simone Legno's recent partnership with Mattel's Barbie in creating an awesomely designed doll--who happens to have tattoos.
In other news, I got work done on my sleeve...I'm one more appointment away from getting it finished:
You can see the work I got on my elbow and I also got the inside of my upper arm shaded (OW!). I'll post a picture here later today. (So, if you're interested, check back later this afternoon.)
Edit: Ta da...
Freddy's been making some major changes to the shop and I think they look beautiful. If you're ever in Oakland looking for a great place to get work done, head to Temple Tattoo.
He's also printed up new Sons of Anarchy shirts. I'm going to pick up mine today. Here's the last one...which I LOVE:
The new one is black and looks more like the "cuts" they wear on the show.

I can't stop watching that gif.Seriously tho, all your awesome and hilarious comments on Kemper and I's new multi, "Droids You're Looking For." It totally made our day yesterday! And, it's the best birthday present a girl could ask for.

Discussing the confusing backlash surrounding Tokidoki artist Simone Legno's recent partnership with Mattel's Barbie in creating an awesomely designed doll--who happens to have tattoos.

You can see the work I got on my elbow and I also got the inside of my upper arm shaded (OW!). I'll post a picture here later today. (So, if you're interested, check back later this afternoon.)

Freddy's been making some major changes to the shop and I think they look beautiful. If you're ever in Oakland looking for a great place to get work done, head to Temple Tattoo.

The new one is black and looks more like the "cuts" they wear on the show.
