Get orgasmic over reading!

Comment Commentary

Evitabug- Sure.

Aleia- Meh, I feel like a big weght has been lifted off my shoulders.

DDG- The curse has been lifted off of me and placed on another. It never ends.

Mimmi- *parties*

Shin- Damn right! *is in random half-assed comment mode right now*

DDG- There's an art to it. It just takes time and lots of practice. :P

Syk- Damn right again!

Ben- *chuckles oddly*

Shin- Aw.. I thought I was a hero.

Godel- Well, there goes the only remaining shred of my self esteem.

Ben- You took my smarmy retort..!

Shin- Long live recluses!

Solo- See, Shin cheats because he does his posts the second it's midnight. He can't be trusted.

Semjaza- I got pretty close to beating him, but then he pulled out taunt and that fencing move. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't forgotten to save. I seriously need to kill myself for doing that.

I think I'd like to fight the skeletal Fiends anyway. I really want to milk this game for all it's worth.

I watched Read Or Die on Adult Swim. About ten minutes before it began I found out it was airing.. It was one of those DVDs that I wanted to get because it sounded cool, but seeing things for free is always a plus.

The whole thing was a little far-fetched to me. I'm not talking about the paper powers- that's what it's about. I didn't expect it to be realistic, but I didn't think it was going to be as odd as [spoilerage coming up]:

Suicide symphony? Come on, what the hell is that? I can let cloning Beethoven and even a fictional Chinese hero slide, but not creating a song that is going to make people kill themselves.

Unless it's really heavy satanic death-metal.

And what was with Nancy? "Oh my God, Nancy's hot. Oh my God, they killed the hot girl! Oh my God, she's still alive- wait, no, she's dead! BUT SHE'S ALIVE AGAIN! Will she make it this time!?!11/"

Okay.. Spoilerage done.

It's not that I dislike ROD (What I saw of ROD the TV was exquisite), but they were just asking for criticism when they did that.

The voice acting was good overall, but the main character got on my nerves. Sure, at times she was appealing, but after a while I just wanted to put on the closed captioning and mute it.

"Oh my gosh, old books! *lots of elated moaning noises*"

I still liked it. Nothing is sacred in this realm, not even cool OVAs.

Being gone for three days and knowing the math homework ahead of time can be quite a problem. I didn't bother doing my homework for Tuesday night "because I had five days to do it," plus the other three days.. It was a pain in the arse. I started around eight, realized that I had completely forgotten everything about what I had learned that week and sat there for four more hours trying to put it all together. Not even the text book helped- I learn these things best through example.

Not that my parents were of any help. My mother, despite having graduated college, can't remember a single shred of algebra for the life of her, and my dad had a freaking tent sale going on (Yes, he endorses them, feel free to throw things), and he got home around one.

It all got done, and I wrote "If I'm totally bombing this please assist" on all four assignments, but it took forever and got me pretty angry. It didn't help that my brother called me a nerd on his way to bed, but I won't get into that violent story.

Magically enough, I suddenly remembered all of the math when I got into class. Even when I checked the problems (which has been the breaking point every time) they made sense, and I gave myself an imaginary pat on the back for remembering, accompanied by a real kick in the ass for not remembering it the night before.

They were jacking up the yearbook when I was gone. Apparently, clipart was added and lame backgrounds were selected, though I didn't see it. The sooner the teacher gets her new computer (floppy drive is busted on this one) I'll be satisfied and able to show up the junkies.

Bleh, I hope nothing interesting happens tomorrow. I've got a pleasant little television-related rant lined up, and I'm getting a strong itch to talk about it.

PS- Softball sucks.
