An American DeathBug in London
Wow, this weekend was good, and I didn't even do anything fun. It was one of those weekends where you do a lot of work, but you feel good because you got a lot accomplished. I did all my homework, did all my chores and then some, and got to go to the gym both days.

You know how people say that if you exercise, you'll feel better in general? It's true. I stopped going into the gym around the holidays, simply because I got out of the habit. I forced myself to go all this week, and I feel better, more alert, and have more energy. Nothing has actually changed, but I feel better. That's neat.

I got the new issue of Shonen Jump in the mail, and will regail you with my opinions. Just be warned, there are plenty of spoilers.

Prince of Tenneis: The preview for this mag seemed pretty sterotypical, actually. I know it's pretty popular, but I just didn't feel it. Maybe the actual book will be better, but I won't have the cash to buy it.

One Piece is just getting wierd. I'm not feeling it. It's too off-the-wall for my tastes; seems like the kinda' thing I wrote when I was ten. It's okay, but not great by any means.

Dragonball Z was actually interesting, because Cell completed himself. I also laughed at the little scene between Trunks and Vegeta. "You don't have the stomach to attack your own father!" *BooM* Guess he does...

Naruto was dissappointing this month. The whole conclusion was anti-climatic. Zanbu was half-dead anyway, and, after all he did, we're supposed to feel sorry for him? Naw. Well, at least this arc is over; it dragged on a bit long. I'm looking forward to the new arc next month.

Yu-Gi-Oh was a mixed bag this month. The story with Joey on TV sucked. It really did. Now redeeming value whatsoever.

The story with the monster fighters was much more interesting. It became a sinister Shadow Game very quickly, one of those times you're shocked a bit by Yami Yugi's ruthlessness. I love those times.

Shaman King was good, as it consistantly is. The conclusion to Yoh's showdown with Silva was predictable, but it looked good while being predictable. The Totem Cannon thing still looks odd, but, whatever. Ana's monologue was also nice, and a little touching. Her ruthless attack on Yoh was equally touching, kinda'.

Ren's a psycho; does that surprise anyone? And next month, Yoh vs. Horohoro. Yay!

Well, Saturday, while I was in Wal-Mart, I saw something that turned my head: Skywarp. Skywarp is a Decepticon repaint of Jetstorm, my favorite TF toy of all time. His purple/black color scheme was way cooler that Jetstorm's colors, so you know I had to have him.

Solo, if you see this guy, get him. He's that cool.

I've decided to prove what a Yu-Gi-Oh geek I am by calling how each character will get out of theie horrible perril they're left in at the end of each eppie.

So, how would I destroy Exodia Necross, using Kaiba's deck?

Well, the obvious answer is to draw Monster REborn, and remove one of the Exodia pieces from the graveyard. Depending on which other cards I had, I could destroy EXN with Cyber Jar, Destruction Ring, Dark Hole, etc.

However, Monster Reborn is one card out of forty, so I'll need a back-up plan. What I see Kaiba doing is not destroying Exodia, but incapacitating him, perhaps with Shadow Spell or the like. All he has to do is stall the beast while building up his army of monsters. His DD DRagon would be good in this case, since it can't be destroyed.

Let's wait till next week and see how I called it. ^__^

Finally, I've decided to be more focused with my avatars and banners. So, each month, I'll have a theme. April is Vehicon month!

Thought of the moment: I must buy prom tickets.
