y helo thar!

Since I'm not sure exactly where you're tuning in from, I should introduce myself; I'm a 26 year old male. Generally on the internet you'll see me at various forums or communities using the alias Arrow (or Arrowned if that one's already taken). I only selected this name for my LiveJournal account because both of those were long gone (and I kind of regret doing that; everybody and their mom now associates me with Bridge from Power Rangers S.P.D., and while I enjoyed Bridge's character, he's absolutely nothing like me). Thankfully, I was able to snatch Arrow just fine at Dreamwidth.

My profile goes into a little more detail about me, but generally you can expect from this journal a hell of a lot of discussion on video games, Power Rangers, and Tokusatsu. If you're not down with that, friending me may be risky business.

Personal projects: I make music, write fanfic, and run websites. Sometimes I'll discuss those here as well. Most of my music is made via MIDI and ends up at vgmusic.com; while I'd like to get something on OverClocked ReMix some day, and I actually feel that my composition skills are up to the challenge, my sample sets/production abilities are not, so that'll be a while coming. What music I've done can be found at my personal website. As for my fic, most of it is, again, Power Rangers-based. Here's a master list of what I've written, for those interested in that. The primary website I'm working on at the moment, surprisingly not the one I just linked, is Rangerwiki, yet another PR-based item, this one being an attempt to make a trustworthy wiki for PR with all the canon information anyone would ever need.

Forums I normally hang out at: Metroid Metal, OverClocked ReMix, Power Rangers United, Rangerboard, and VGMusic.com. Forums I drop in at on occasion, but not as regularly as the above: Fuñaroboard, Henshin Justice Unlimited, Metroid Database (or at least I would if I could access the site; ever since it moved, I get a 404 without fail), Noteworthy Software, Rangercrew, SONIC EATS RINGS, Sonic Robo Blast 2, The Vinculum, and The Ur-Quan Masters. As I make the music for SRB2, I'm an administrator at that forum, but I'm just a regular user at the rest.

A lot of other people on my f-list have watchlists for what toku they've seen, and I'm not sure why I didn't have one yet, so here you go. It's pretty safe to assume that if I've seen the whole series, I've seen the associated movies too, except in cases like Den-O and Decade where they're friggin still putting out movies even now. :P

I figured for ease of purpose, I'd make an LJ post detailing my fics. The ones I've finished, the ones I'm writing, the ones I'm planning, and the ones that are sitting on my HD in purgatory because I'm not sure if I'm going to do them or not. When I make an update that people need to see about, I'll just be relinking to this post so they can see the whole shebang.

No, this isn't all Power Rangers. There's plenty of other stuff in here too. :P

See the cut. Love the cut. )

This post, like my journal's introductory post and toku watchlist, is future dated to 2025 so that it stays at the top of the blog. If you're directly reading itsbuttery.livejournal.com, then whatever post is below this one is actually the latest journal entry.

So it turns out 4chan is actually good for something. Double demotivational posters. )

------------------

NaNo seems to have become an unmitigated failure for me yet again. I did start well, and got several thousand words in, but I'm just nowhere near the goal. And in the process of thinking things over, I finally realized the problem, both for this year and for back in 2007: trying to force myself into a deadline is killing the fun. I'm a procrastinator by nature, and so I hate deadlines, and I equally hate the feeling of franticness that results.

Proof of this is the fact that, a few days ago, when I basically told myself "F*** it" and stopped trying to write to hit 50000, I started writing again almost immediately without any real sense of agitation. I'm definitely not going to hit 50K at this point, but at least I'm having fun with what I'm writing again.

So basically, I'm not doing the process now, and I probably won't try it again. I'll keep writing where I will, and since Cowpocalypse is already going fairly well, I may start posting chapters of it to fictionpress.com soon. But NaNo itself is just not for me.

Downside to working a midnight to 8am shift on early Saturday morning: when I get home, I set my alarm to wake me up three hours later for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, and then I turn around and just turn the alarm off without even thinking when it goes off. I should probably just start not going to bed until noon.

Of course, since I ended up missing Shinkenger when it aired thanks to having to run the roommate down to the metro station, it didn't matter in the end.

Apologies for anyone who may have been confused by some of the comments in my last few reviews of Rescue Fire. It turns out that Fire-6 doesn't exist. It was just the fandom seeing scans of Dash-6 and GaiaLeon and jumping to conclusions.

Finally watching Kamen Rider Amazon ep 1. It's amazing how ridiculously weak Decade!Amazon's henshin call is compared to the original's badass screaming.

You all remember that post I made about the t-shirt I won five months ago? Well, Ms. Sanchez finally sent it. She was pretty angry at herself for forgetting to send it like that, but I assured her it was alright; as long as I got it eventually (and by eventually I mean before this year's MAGfest), I didn't care overly much. XD

Anyways, pictures! It's a size M, and I would've preferred an L, but again, Capcom only made 300 of these, so I'll just have to suck it up. I'm definitely going to be washing this separately to keep the colors.

IIRC, the kanji on the front says 'Hadoken' (which is ridiculous since he's doing a Shoryuken here), and the kanji on the back says 'Bird go!'. )

So, NaNo. (here's my account info there, btw)

Thanks to that 16 hour shift yesterday, there was no chance I could do my daily 1667 words, but I'm about to start now and get two days out of the way, since none of the assignments for my orientation class are due until tomorrow at the earliest. Possibly more words than that, because my story has three major parts to it, and part 1 is already completely outlined, so I won't have to worry about getting lost with what comes next right away. With luck, I can get 50000 out of just that part alone. XD

Also, thank god that orientation class is all I'm doing for college most of this month. I may actually be able to NOT worry about NaNo interfering with classes.

Anyways, as a result of that last poll, I decided to write a story I got the idea for years ago and that's been sitting in the Purgatory section of my fic repository. The story's called Cowpocalypse. Story info is under this cut. )

So overall, the story is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard of, and because of that, I'm totally excited to write it. I even have an idea for a sequel called Cattleclysm, but I'd better finish this one before I figure out for sure whether a sequel could even work. XD

The post is up a bit late because I got home from work at 9am Saturday, set my cell phone alarm to wake me back up for Dragon Knight, and slept right through it. An encode was up by nighttime, but then I had to pull a 16 hour shift on Sunday from midnight to 4pm (for the record, they needed an extra person, and I offered cause extra money in my paycheck is always a plus; I knew exactly what I was getting into). Naturally when I got home from that, I did my half of the Spandex Report and then immediately went to sleep, and only just finished watching that Dragon Knight encode about 30 seconds before I posted this.

Double got pre-empted by golf for anyone who didn't already know; episode 9 airs next week. YEAH. YEAH.
