Random Hoo Haasthe blog with the guff

Welcome to the new blog!

It only took me about nearly a year of loitering around, procrastinating and pestering from Wes before I finally went ahead with it, and the final result is this – the Random Hoo Haas blog is on WordPress! Yes, it uses a frighteningly ugly default template and I’ve barely got testing it properly, but that can probably be sorted out in due time. The important thing is that people can comment on my sad, sad ramblings, and that’s what makes all the difference. Expect no more than four entries for the rest of this month, then!

I once wrote a story where a guy’s fart killed a man

Current mood: ehhh

Listening to: Just Love – The Strawbs (yeah the name’s a bit dorky but my god is it rockin’)

When I’m mildly depressed (read: unable to be adequately productive), I tend to look back at things I did earlier in life and just think it over, and although it’s a pretty dumb thing to do (because when you’re wallowing in self-pity the best thing you want to do is do it even more), it does offer food for thought and a mildly different way to look on my current situation. For instance, one of the many things I am currently pissed about at this point in time is that I’m having difficulty just sitting down and writing some fiction.

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers review + Haruhi first impressions

Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 8:15 pm Comments (1)

I watched the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers movie. About a decade ago my dad commented that he enjoyed it more than the Super Mario Bros. movie, and while I wouldn’t say I was livid with rage (my brother probably was!), I was quite shocked. I mean, how could a kiddy thing like Power Rangers top the misunderstood epic that was Super Mario Bros.? That film was a friggin’ monolith to me, nothing could top it. Covering it for Random Action Hour a few months ago did give me a serious wake up call about how screwy it is.

Ah Me, Ah My

Man, I miss my old blog entries! Remember the days when I could just have a totally impromptu rant about Mario Kart Wii and its artificial intelligence? That whole month is incredible. I bought a bag of candy solely so I could put them on the scanner and critique the loose theme it has going. That’s the kind of spontaneity I wish I still had, because with every passing day I get the uncomfortable sensation that I’m trapped in a routine. Depressing.

Evil Dead review + April Fools lamentations

I almost made an April Fools gag this year. Almost! I think this was actually the first year I was aware of April Fools a few weeks before it happened, thus granting me the chance to actually prepare something for it.

And I didn’t bother.

I did mildly assist RQ87 with his one, mind you, but I didn’t do a damn thing for my site. C’est la vie.
