Shaun Lewis: the Man, the Myth, the Legend

OK, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am officially excited.

This new iPod plays music, stores photos and plays video. You say, “But Creative Labs has had something like that out for about 2 years now, idiot!” and you are correct. Still, it didn’t have that Apple panache to it. Now, everything is in harmony in the universe.

OH! Wonderful time for Apple to start offering Desperate Housewives on iTunes too because I just discovered on Sunday that this is a new favorite show of mine. Also, if your name is Jacki, a little news for you: you can buy That’s So Raven as well.

Update: Another thing, Jacki: they have that Pixar short film with the old man playing chess. (Now we just have to wait for American Idol)

So, back when I was still @ OU, I recorded a bunch of bouts that I was going to use on the Fencing Club’s website. I was going to redesign the entire website. Unfortunately, since I’m not going to be @ OU, there is little chance that I will designing and so all my filming was a fruitless task. At the very least, I guess, there is some hard evidence for my friends and family that I actually WAS in a fencing club and this was not a hallucination of mine.

With that background information in mind, I was kind of bored a few minutes ago (really—when do I ever sleep anymore?) so I decided to go through some of these old videos. I saw some neat fights and junk, but as soon as I saw the fight I am about to offer for download, I knew I had to post it online. So, I present to you a battle in which Carole (sp?) and Pete (otherwise known as The Ladies Man) are having a go at each other. It’s really quite an interesting fight, especially since I knocked it down to half-speed.

Download it here: http://journal.lewiguez.com/media/pete_killing.wmv (I recommend a right-click and then “Save Target As…” instead of just clicking)

You will notice that Pete manages to get two wonderful draw cuts in at the end of the fight. In fact, you may also notice that Pete manages to leap entirely off the ground at one point. It is frequently his style to do so, and this definitely makes Pete a very hard person to fight. I would have to say it is imperative for one to be paying full attention to what one is doing when engaged in combat with Pete. Oh—and as always, I don’t recommend this is tried at home.

I’ve had a few people mention some videos to me recently ever since my last few posts with those ones on there. The best one I got, however, was from Maria. I believe I will have to concur with her analysis: the best part is the eyebrow’s part. This shows just how much time some people have on their hands. Also, it really is only a matter of time before I attempt something of this nature.

Apparently my journal is slowly becoming a series of posts with videos and the like. That’s pretty awesome. Another thing that is pretty awesome is the 4:00 a.m. posting time for this entry. I just got back from Jacki’s house, in case anyone was wondering. I guess both of us like staying up late. Awesomeness.

Oh—funny story about my visit to Jacki’s. I starting walking home from her house just a few minutes ago. When I got home I realized I had driven to Jacki’s house that night. So, I had to turn right around and walk BACK to her house to get my car. To be fair, I can see Jacki’s house from my house, but still… that’s something you don’t want to be doing @ 4 in the morning.

Yeah. I’m going to go ahead and give everyone a link for another video they can download. I’m really not usually handing out links like this all the time, but I certainly couldn’t pass up on this opportunity. I don’t know anyone who has seen it yet (other than Kate—who showed me), but if you’re familiar with WOUB in Athens, you might get a kick out of this. Even if you’re not, you’ll still probably both laugh and feel quite terrible for laughing.

It’s Tuesday.

Jacki is out somewhere being a hippie right now and Jason is at work. That means I’m pretty bored because these are the only two people with whom I do stuff.

So, I’ve got a big plate of left-over spaghetti in front of me, a Coke and a lot of free time tonight. I’m pretty excited about the spaghetti because I’m EXTREMELY hungry. As for the free time, I’m not quite sure what I really want to do with it. Naturally, I was thinking of building a parade float of some sort, but there haven’t really been any parades worth participating in lately. Also, building materials are scarce. I think that effectively crosses off that idea.
