Wow, those are cool sites Crystal. I love the toy pianos! Are you getting on a Greyhound bus to see GBV boy in Winnipeg now?

The Emo Diaries
Meanwhile, in my acting class we're supposed to track our emotions and moods throughout the day. Normally you have to supress that because you're at work or whatever, but it's amazing how many emotions you go through in a single day. We're supposed to keep an "emo diary" (although it has nothing to do with The Promise Ring).

What a coinkydink - now there's Moodstats. It's a neat little piece of software that lets you track your daily moods and make notes and stuff. Basically an electronic Emo Diary. On a scale from 1 to 10, here's my day:

• Mood - 7 I think this is supposed to be your overall mood. I'm having a great day except for being broke.
  
• Creativity - 4 I feel more lazy and/or social than creative today.
  
• Stress - 5 see: being broke
  
• Horniness - 3 This one tends to fluctuate a lot. For example, it might be really high then suddenly "deflate."
  
• Tiredness - 7 So sleepy without my energy drink. (See: being broke)
  
• Obessing - 6 I am obsessing over emo diaries, this mood software, and this blog.
  

Designers and coders take note! The makers of Moodstats relaunched their site Kaliber 10000 and it's jam-packed with new features. (from zeldman.com.

COOL SHIT

Okay, we're really posting a lot on our first day of blogging, but then that's the point, isn't it? Here are the cool links of the day.


LHPO - that stands for Large Hot Pipe Organ - the world's only MIDI controlled, propane powered explosion organ. The LHPO's pyro-acoustic explodo-rhythmations will throbbatize your earholes and dance-ify your booty.


I used to be into ninja crap when I was little. How my eyes lit up when I went to Tiajuana and saw all the ninja throwing stars! If only I'd known how to dress like a ninja.


Lastly, get ready for comedy cuz i've got Heat Vision & Jack on the way baby!

Well, here is my first blog message. Hello world. We aren't kool unless we have one of these, so let's be kool okay? Great! Well let's start with some rules:

1. Nobody can use the letter "k" instead of "c" except for me. Kool? Kool.
   
2. We, the Komedy Koven, will always post funny messages. Who cares about being truthful? Being funny is more important. If we don't have anything funny to say, we can always add a funny word like "fart" or "poop" to the end of out message. Fart. See? It works. Fuckass.
   
3. It's okay to share opinions on things, like politics or issues that seem important. But it's better to be "ironic."
   
4. *Always* check with your Dungeon Master before adventuring solo with your character. If all of a sudden Sithargon is a level 30 fighter/cleric, it won't be fair to the other players. Settle your personal vendettas in gym class, not in our the fantasy milieu.
   
5. No psionics are allowed. I just don't get psionics at all. Fuck psionics.
   

Well, that's all for today. Happy Blogging from the Komedy Koven!
