Ah, finally, school is out for the summer. I had my Intermediate Algebra final today, and my other school is done for the year, so it's all over now. And a funny thing about that final: I only needed to get 60% on it (yes, the lowest D possible) in order to get an overall A in the class. Why? Because the final was only worth 20% of my overall grade, and my grade up to that point was 99%. But hey, that's not as good as my Beginning Algebra class was, where I only needed to get 50% on the final to pass with an A -- shows Intermediate Algebra is a bit harder, I guess.
The Zelda ownage also continues. I'm replaying Zelda: Four Swords Adventures again (this makes five times now), and I've discovered just how much ass a box formation jump attack kicks. Or a box formation down strike. It's oh-so-sweet to walk into a room with a Ball & Chain Trooper who's swinging around a flaming mace, only to jump right over the flame trail with a Roc's Feather and kill it with a single attack. Damn I love FSA's combat.
And speaking of Zelda, check out my new Twilight Princess wallpaper. A big thanks to James for getting me the high resolution art and screen shots, which I used to make it. Also, if you run at 1280x1024, I also have a version of it at that resolution. Leave a comment or send me a PM if you want the higher res version, as theOtaku only takes 1024x768 wallpapers.
On the anime front, I finished watching The Slayers a little while ago (yes, all three TV seasons, two OAVs, and five movies), and I finished up the first series of Those Who Hunt Elves since then. Gotta love a good fantasy/comedy every now and then. And since my parents signed up for Netflix, I now have access to even more anime, beyond that in my brother's collection. The first anime disc I've added to our rental queue is the first volume of His and Her Circumstances (aka Kare Kano), which I've been wanting to watch for a while now, as it looks like something I'd enjoy.
Having access to pretty much everything that's been released on DVD through Netflix also means I'm finally catching up on all those movies I've been meaning to get around to watching but never have, like The Matrix Revolutions and Kill Bill Vol. 2. It's amazing how much nicer it is to simply have movies arrive in your mailbox, rather than having to go out and rent them. Laziness wins again!
