I finished 69% of Through the Fire and Flames on Expert yesterday, playing on Guitar Hero: Smash Hits. (It’s a little bit different in Smash Hits, because there are certain parts you can use the slide bar for, which means you don’t have to strum. Makes those parts just a tad easier.)

I’ll try again when I haven’t been playing for an hour and my wrist doesn’t hurt. I CAN DO THIS!

And then I’ll go back and try to do it in GH3 to see if there’s any difference.

I’m frightening myself with all this, by the way.

Edit: I made it to 78% now!

This is the first match of the first round of the Losers’ Bracket: Crocodile vs. King Cobra. Information is taken from Wikipedia.

The crocodile and the cobra will face off on a small, grassy plain, with a shallow, reedy river running along one side of it.

Crocodile

The prehistoric lizard basks in the sun as it awaits the beginning of its match.

Larger species of crocodile can reach over 4.85 metres (15.9 ft) long and weigh well over 1,200 kilograms (2,600 lb).

Crocodiles have a bite force of more than 5,000 pounds per square inch, though the muscles used to open their mouths are very weak. On land, crocodiles have a movement speed of approximately 10 km/h (7 mph), though they are much more mobile in the water.

King Cobra

The King Cobra is poised to strike.

The King Cobra is the world’s longest venomous snake, reaching lengths of up to 6.7 m (22 ft); its average length is 3.6 to 4 m (12 to 13 feet) and its average weight is 6 kg (13.2 lb). The King Cobra’s latin name “literally means “snake-eater”, and its diet primarily consists of other snakes, including sizeable pythons and even smaller members of its own species” (Wikipedia).

King Cobras use their quick strike and deadly venom to incapacitate or kill their prey. Their venom can kill a human with a single bite (depending on the amount of venom they release; most bites involve non-fatal amounts).

Le TRES tired!

I just got home from a week-long business trip to the interior of BC (Prince George area). I did a lot of driving. Luckily, the rental car had an auxiliary input on the sound system, so I was able to listen to music off of my iPod. Lifesaver, seriously.

Next week I’ll try to get back to the regular flow of usefullessness.

This morning when I stumbled into my bathroom, I found a bunch of facial hair clippings in the sink. You know what I mean: the really fine, tiny bits of hair that come off your face when you use an electric razor.

I use an electric razor. But I never dumped any of the clippings in the sink. That’s a good way to clog the pipes.

I thought it was possible that I had shaved over the sink yesterday and that some of the clippings had “spilled” out of the shaver because it was full and needed to be emptied. So I shaved over the sink in an attempt to replicate the situation and see if any hair would spill out.

None did. My shaver didn’t even need to be emptied that badly.

So I don’t know how that hair got into my sink. Maybe someone broke into my house overnight and shaved themselves into my sink. Some kind of psycho lunatic nutjob.

Weird.

Was it you? It was you, wasn’t it. Admit it. I know your game. Weirdo.

This is the first match of the first round of the Losers’ Bracket: Giraffe vs. Rhinoceros. Information is taken from Wikipedia.

The giraffe and the rhino will face off in a large, open area, with a few trees and some patches of tall grass.

Giraffe

The sixteenth seed in the War of the Wilds.

The average male giraffe stands between 14 and 17 feet tall and weighs 1,200 kilograms (2,650 pounds). Giraffes are herbivores, primarily eating leaves and grass, but have strong hooves with which they can defend themselves.

Rhinoceros

An average rhinoceros, set to compete in the War of the Wilds.

The rhinoceros is a large, strong herbivore. The adult black or white rhino has no natural predators other than humans.

Rhinos have a large horn made of keratin (the same substance that hair and fingernails are made of) and a protective skin that can be up to 5 cm thick. A full-grown male White Rhinoceros can weigh over 3,000 kg (6,600 pounds), reach lengths of up to 4.2 m (13.9 feet) and stand 185 cm (73 inches) high at the shoulder.
