Holy shit, this kid is smart!

School starts tomorrow. Rad. Looking forward to Strats and Dramatic Impact and such.

I played Dreamblade for the first time today and rather liked it. I don't see it having much staying power and will probably go the way of Hecatomb, but the mechanics of the game are fun. The sculpts and paintjobs on the miniatures are subpar at best, which is a bit dissapointing after looking at the gorgeous art in the manual and the boxes.

We grow towards the close of Samurai 7, with only one volume left to collect. Things are getting pretty serious and I'm thinking all rent the original flick once I finish the series.

Le Chevalier D'eon is a pretty awesome anime and I've only seen the first episode. I like how it's almost completely historically accurate. Well, except for the zombies and the gender-switching main character. I'm eagerly awaiting its domestic release so I can give Japan even more of my money.

Ultimate Avengers 2: C
Really boring. Black Panther isn't nearly enough of an interesting character to base a movie around and the villains are a ho-hum pack of characterless aliens. Kind of like the first one. I liked the first movie, but the second is just more of the same and I really can't recommend it to anybody other than Marvel fanatics.

I'm tired of these mother@#$%ing ferrets on this mother@#$%ing panel truck!

The best and worst movie of the year releases today. That's right, the movie made famous by loser bloggers everywhere, Snakes on a Plane. I like pop culture phenomena as much as the next guy, but I think I'll skip out on it. Maybe if I can see it for free somehow.

At any rate, School's starting soon. I have a schedule and its kind of neat.

Semester 1:
1st - World Literature (Cool)
2nd - German 4 (This time, with a competent teacher!)
3rd - Study Hall (Yay)
LUNCH
5/6 - Pre-Calculus (I am no longer a year ahead of my class. For shame.)
7/8 - AP American History (Gotta have an AP class)
9 - Study Hall (Sweet)
10 - Physics (Meh)
And one of those Study Halls will be used as a Teacher Assistant period for one of, if not the most awesome teacher ever. I'm of course talking about Stevens.

Semester 2:
1st - Physics
2nd - Pre-Calculus
3rd - German 4
LUNCH
5/6 - AP American History
7/8 - Sociology (Rocking)
9 - Study Hall
10 - Advanced Composition (Classy)

Things look kind of bleak as far as classmates, though, from who I've compared schedules with. Interesting year coming up.

Good morning. Want some coffee? We're going to go rob a bank.

“This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.”

Movies I've Seen Recently And Am Too Lazy To Review:
V For Vendetta: A-
Pretty good film. Doesn't follow the original graphic novel, or so I'm told, but is nevertheless one of the better things I've seen this year. Excellent plot and fun action. Awesome acting.

Lady in the Water: B
My first full experience with a Shyamalan flick and I like the guy's style. Devoid of any big twist, the movie challenges you to put together the pieces before it can. Worth a rental.

Inuyasha Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler: B-
The best of the three Inuyasha movies I've seen, not that that says much. I like the interplay between Sesshomaru and Inuyasha and it was pretty cool to finally see their father. Nice animation, but the story makes no progress in typical Takahashi fashion.

That's it, I guess.

Happy 100th post!

And it is indeed a joyous one, for I have the hallowed Driver's License. A broad new vista of freedom has opened up before me. Whee!

In other news...

Damn.

There isn't any.

Don't worry, he's still alive... ish...

Guys, guys. Run, don't walk, to your local library and read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. You will not regret it. I'm searching for a word to express this that I haven't already used a million times in this journal. Orgasmic. Yes.

What I'm trying to get across here, is that you should be reading this book, dear reader.

Also, senior pictures are, in actuality, tomorrow. We apologize for the error in the previous post and our editor has been fired.



And shot.
