Mez : We run the home for the infinite losers


Taking a day off work does jack for you, seriously. Not only did I miss out on making my $50, but all I did for most of the day was play video games and watch stuff like Hawaii 5-O and The Rockford Files, while these are both AWESOME shows, I've heard money is good and I very much enjoy it. I noticed yesterday that I had fifty two dollars in my bank account which means two things. One, Bestprices.com finally invoiced me for all the crap I bought from them. Two, my parents are total dicks who even make me pay the difference for what my health insurance doesn't cover. Isn't that a freakin' riot? The next time someone says I'm spoiled I'm going to choke them until they die and then rifle through their pockets, hoping for enough money to buy a cheeseburger from McDonalds to stay alive long enough to watch more DVDs. I'm effectively poor again and it kinda sucks, I used to be rolling in the money but my addiction has caught up with me and now I'm rolling in a significantly smaller pile of money.** Thank god today's payday so I'm back up to three hundred dollars, but getting paid back all the money I'm owed would be a serious hook up too. Ain't life grand when you have to start budgeting food and utilities? I'm just content most of my meals cost about twelve cents a pop, otherwise I'd be drowning in a sea of... well, nothing. I couldn't afford the water.


Okay, confession time. I don't hate Dragon Ball Z, which isn't to say I like it, but it doesn't really get under my skin or anything like Nanako used to. I don't feel the desire to kill everyone who's a fan of it, as long as they carry themselves in a fairly reasonable fashion and don't keep tapping the side of their sunglasses and going "Your power level is no match for mine puny Earthling.". That's what I have the bombat for. Okay, so these episodes have pretty much nothing to do with fighting and I can't really decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. While I'm not a fan of overlong fight scenes or anything... that's pretty much what the whole damn show is ABOUT. When I pick up Kurumi Kurumi Sewing Adventure mangas from the bootleg guy in Chinatown then there better be some high flying, fast cutting needle work or why the hell am I paying Mr. Chu a dollar seventy five for something that's, as he says, "Dilect flom Japan!"? One thing that always confused me about Quaker Head is how come the stuff from Japan says "Made in Taiwan" on it? Why does this Sailor Moon doll look more like a retarded potato?***


So there's no fight... what the hell is Goku gonna do? Well, he runs a lot. Reminiscent of the Yu Yu Hakusho I watched so long ago he's always running SOMEWHERE. Whether it be trying to get back from the "Place for the Infinite Losers" (where the ogres wear jerseys marked "HFLL") or trying to escape the seductive clutches of Princess Snake, you better believe Goku is on the move and he's moving fast too! Anyone who can run for three months straight gets high marks in my book, though him being dead and all... why not just be like "I'm dead, my spirit-ass can just FLY to King Kai and get the special training to save the world." And what's the hold up with those damn Saiyajins anyway? It's not like they're flying to the Earth in the freakin' Apollo-11, what could possibly take a whole year? Maybe it's just the fact that flying baseballs aren't the most aerodynamic thing in the world.

You know how I feel about the show, you know how YOU feel about the show. What else should I say?


**Please note I don't LITERALLY have a pile of money to roll around in, okay? So don't try and rob me.

***For more information, read up on the Berne Convention and how it relates to places like Taiwan... that is, not at ALL.
