dmxratedThis entry marks the first of two visits that Grandma Barbara had paid us during my year in 7th Grade. Friday is a very special day, and if you don't remember what day it is, click the lj-cut and read on! And then, Saturday marks something pretty significant.
December 2, 1998 (Wednesday)
Today, Grandma Barbara came over.
I was still looking for the tenth Jiggy in Mad Monster Mansion in Banjo-Kazooie, so I watched the demos, but I didn’t get any ideas. I’m now at Rusty Bucket Bay.
Me and my family and Grandma Barbara watched Hey Arnold! tonight. It was the episode where Arnold and Eugine are stuck on the roller coaster. Everything that everyone else tried wasn’t working, but eventually, the roller coaster started working again.
Tonight, Grandma gave Brian Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for Christmas. The three of us also got Pez. I got Yoda, Brian got a Storm Trooper, and Marie got Minnie Mouse.
“I thought you don’t like Turok,” I told Brian while he was playing it.
December 3, 1998 (Thursday)
Tonight, we went to the library, and I saw an Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine with South Park on the cover. I read it while we were there, along with some Nintendo Power magazines. When we got home, I read some stuff about South Park, and one of them said “Cartman’s mom is a dirty slut.” I asked dad “What’s a slut?” He came with me into my room.
As it later turns out, that list was the list of episode titles in the first season of South Park.
“Where did you find that?” he asked.
“In Electronic Gaming Monthly,” I said.
“Give me that.”
I gave it to him.
“It’s a dirty woman with loose morals,” he answered me.
Later, Mom came home, and she and Dad talked about it. “I wanna see that magazine,” she said.
“You better,” Dad told her.
December 4, 1998 (Friday; release date of Getter Love!! in Japan)
After school, I sat on the front steps with Dad and asked him if I call Jamie Weidner a slut.
“Why would you wanna call Jamie a slut?” he asked me.
“Because she hangs around with Dail,” I said.
“You better not call anyone a slut, because it insults them. Now why do you think people curse?”
“Because it’s funny?”
After I finished eating dinner tonight, I asked Dad if I could watch Oohhh Nooo!!! Mr. Bill Presents.
“No,” he said.
I asked Mom.
“What?” Dad said, “Is my answer not good enough?”
A few minutes later, Dad’s like “You can go watch Oohhh Nooo!!! Mr. Bill Presents.”
“I’m not watching,” I told him.
“Suit yourself,” he told me. I then watched the show anyway
December 5, 1998 (Saturday)
This morning, I was playing Banjo-Kazooie, and I beat the Zubba Swarm in Click Clock Wood. Brian played Turok while I was outside wandering.
Later this morning, we went to some park in Brooklyn with Grandma Barbara. Throughout our tour of the place, we saw several people dressed as characters from Richard Scarry. Meanwhile, I was thinking about a game where GLOM kidnapped Brian’s friends Eric Moriarity and Charlene Ahedo, captured George Washington, and sent six missiles to Earth, and all the Bible School Kids and Janus Papa must rescue them, stop the missiles, and defeat GLOM using all the weapons from “Goldeneye vs. Jerry Springer.”
GLOM: Giant Likeness Outputting Machine, a cloning robot from some Super Mario novel we used to own called Double Trouble. Unfortunately, this book is not available at all on Ebay right now.
That thing about the missiles headed to Earth was based on some joke that Brian told me, where a reporter indicates the missiles and ends with "I'm not usually allowed to give my opinion, but if just one of those missiles hits Earth, WE'LL ALL BE TOAST!!!!!"
We got inside and looked around. We looked at some plants, and Marie and Dad saw a cactus, and they’re like “Sniff this,” “Sit on this,” etc. I didn’t fall for it. We had a walk in a park, and there was a duck pond. We fed the ducks, and I picked up cigarette butts from the floor and fed those to them as well. Marie and Dad showed Grandma something they do all the time. They hold both hands and jump around in circles, and Marie’s like “Do the hip hop. Do the hip hop,” and then Dad’s like “Reverse,” and it repeats until they get bored. I did the same thing with myself and changed the words to “Here’s a dick duck.”
On the way home, Dad parked somewhere to do something. Marie put Seaweed on Grandma’s head. Grandma’s like “Please take that otter off my head.” Marie kept doing it, and then Grandma’s like “Take that otter off my head before I take it and throw it out the window.”
Seaweed: A stuffed otter that Marie got in class. It really belonged to her, but I later on kept it in my bed with my other toy animals.
Later, before we got home, I was doing something to piss Brian off, and he opened up my documents, but I closed it right before he could see anything. He’s like “What’s it got? That girl with glasses and headgear and earrings and pigtails and a watch and a necklace and a big coneshaped nose? And she’s saying—“
(Something I previously made on Mario Paint and showed him.)
I shut him up.
Tonight, I watched Brian beat Turok, and I watched the credits. While Mom was making dinner, I asked her “How do you know I’m autistic?”
Mom answered me “You used to line up your toys instead of playing with them, and you never spoke to anyone, and you had to keep wearing diapers until you were four, and you talked about “The Catalog,” and… here’s one, you gotta stop talking to yourself.”
The Catalog: Described on June 10, 2008. I didn't so much "talk about" it as speak the lines that everyone would say in it.
Grandma Barbara was around for several more days, but the next day is significant enough to start its own set of Co7G entries. Stay tuned!
Back to the present.
Sent back: Kanon, disk 2. Let me tell you, episodes 5 through 7 had so many moments worth re-watching. I laughed my head off watching Makoto make a fool of herself or falling for Yuichi's tricks. But other than that, I also enjoyed seeing Ayu freak out throughout a horror movie, Nayuki sing while eating breakfast (whether drowsily in episode 6 or upbeat in episode 7), and Makoto's eyes depicted as (digitized) spirals after she falls down the stairs. I had kept that disk for a whole week for all this. Good stuff, ain't it?
As it turns out, ROMhacking.net is not down forever, but it will be a while before it's up and running again. Also, as I expected, Chelle has pointed out quite a few errors of my Ellen pic. Needless to say, it will be a while before I actually post her pic, since this also depends on when I get around to redrawing her.
