... according to what I've heard around Livejournal, that's the name of Bush's new stragegy.

Am I alone in thinking that he's starting to sound like the inbred hick brother of Treize Khusrenada?

I only watched one episode of Gundam Wing last night, woe! I think I enjoyed it way more than I should have, though, I had to keep pausing it to contain my giggle fits. We're right after Heero self-destructs, and before the big Heero/Zechs duel in Antartica. Will be watching assloads more soon, because four of these DVDs AREN'T mine and I would like to return them to their proper owner sometime before 2005. ¬_¬x;;

*vows* I WILL own all of Gundam Wing on DVD! I'm only missing volumes one, four, five and seven.

... HOW do I end up with series that I'm missing titles out of the center? How how how? Oh, yeah, I find deals on them. I don't think I paid full price on a single one of those DVDs. Well... Endless Waltz probably, but that was because I had to get it because OMFG DEATHSCYTHE HELL CUSTOM WITH BATWINGS *woobies* since it had both the OAV version and the movie version of Endless Waltz and both had animation cut out of the Toonami airing.

*sighs* I am an unrepetant Duo fangirl. Although sometimes it's more about the mobile suit. Deathscythe is just fucking COOL man. I would love to pilot a Gundam, just once, so I know what it's like. I'd kill for a simulation game where they replicate the cockpit and all the controls. That would be so COOL. (I would kill more for an x-wing simulation chamber though. *coughs innocently into hand*)

That segues nicely into my flying-sim withdrawl. I love x-wings and one of the few computer games I used to play was X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. After our University had a free showing of Episode IV and everyone bore witness to my absolute Battle-of-Yavin squeefest, Jonathan decided that everyone needed to install the newest PC-version of X-Wing and we should play over a network.

I was hyper and excited, despite the fact I hadn't played the game in years. I got on the network, we got our headphones synched up ... and god it was so much FUN. I really surprised the group, they knew I loved to blather about x-wings but I have little prowess when it comes to actual gaming. However, not only did I match the l33t3st gamer in our circle kill for kill, I outclassed him by about five.

Talk about a headrush. The lingo came back so quickly, too, I was shouting about squints and dupes and such. We played a mission that involved some frigates... GAH I forgot how tiresome those monsters can be, they're even tougher than Star Destroyers to take out. (At least with the Victory-Class Star Destroyers, there's a shield generator to target and once the shields are down, several barrages of proton torpedoes is all it takes to k'o a V-SD.)

... wow, I am a terrifying Star Wars geek.

I'm having fun plotting my 'samurai' version of FMA, but I'm at a loss where in Japan I should set it. Any ideas?
