not a lot to be happy about today.


It's a Friday and I have to study. (sad)

Joke lang!




Haha. Funny.

1. Tal's card is so imba. It's pumpable for 0 mana. It makes counters fizzle. It will reshape the world of Magic.

2. Sir Monje actually said our whack a mole project is OK.

3. Summer plans already in place! Mwahahaha!

When it's hard to find just 3 things...

I will justify my continued existence by naming three new things that make me happy everyday.


1. Purefood's Chinese Style Luncheon Meat 100g

How, you ask, could cancer-causing processed meat make anyone happy? Read: 100g. Students of Ma'am Cat, convert! I'll convert for you. 100g of canned meat = Php 10.50. That's right gentle readers, we now have double-budget food. Useful for when you've lost your wallet and ATM and spent your emergency piggy bank, when you're dating three girls at once, or when you need those Savannah Lions. Only one of those conditions apply to me.

2. Sparta!!!

300. Sex and violence, what more do you need? Admittedly I was somewhat disappointed when I went to my classes yesterday and found that not everyone was naked other than a loincloth and a red cape. Moreover, I was expecting everyone to be communicating by means of variations of the word "Sparta!" Yeah, it was that good. Like a Vin Diesel movie but with a plot to go with the coolness.

3. The card of me above. Mwahaha!

Magic

In many ways, life is like constructing a deck of cards (in Magic: the Gathering). I read about a cool card on the internet and at instant speed I have uh... one combo in my head. And then I read about the combos other people have come up with and decide that theirs are much better than mine and decide to build a deck just like the one I think is the most powerful. And then something happens.

Sometimes the deck turns out to be too expensive to build on a budget. Other times the cards in the list are so rare that, although cheap, they are impossible to find. Often, I just decide to switch a card in the 'net deck for something else. Every time, the deck gets pummeled to the ground by one of the first few people I playtest it on, and changes become necessary. Inevitably, I get tired of the thing and think up something new.

The universal outline of events.
