In this post I will complain about Physics, talk about D&D and whatever else happens to be on my mind.

Fair warning. I'm currently trying to keep from having to do my Physics lab report, even though it's incredibly easy and not at all time-consuming, or so I am told. Isn't that the strangest thing? I really don't like Physics, though. I miss Chemistry where everything made complete sense and variables took one meaning and stuck with it. On the plus side, Pre-Calculus makes perfect sense at the moment.

I'm running a campaign for Strategists Club and it's going to be so awesome, you'll probably go blind. Or awesome insofar as it rips off Seven Samurai. Regardless, I'm looking forward to it.

I can't believe Stephen Colbert left the cast of Harvey Birdman: Attourney at Law. Things just aren't the same without him. I also can't believe the Daily Show and the Colbert Report are in reruns this week.

Bleach fails to impress me. It's nice as a dumb shounen-action hero anime though. Trinity Blood is kind of nifty I suppose, but I'd like to see some semblance of plot. Also, the Never Land episode was kind of silly. Meanwhile, Eureka Seven has finally hit the halfway point and finally starts being excellent. And I'm still pirating Le Chevalier D'eon. You gotta love using the pre-French Revolution period as a setting for zombies and posessions and sowrdfights, because it works so perfectly.

I don't really like this entry. I'm not feeling it. Actually, I don't much care for anything I've written as of late. Oh wait, I've got something.

The Illusionist
Suprisingly fun to watch. The magic is pretty nifty and there's some wonderful casting. The plot has a suitably mystical and romantic feel to it and it has a very-well done twist ending. I don't have much else to say other than it's well worth seeing in the Theater or even getting on DVD, if you're into this sort of thing.
Rating: A-

So I leave you with this one bit of advice: Go read The Picture of Dorian Gray. Just trust me.

Hey, they can't bill me if I never stop eating.

So, Homecoming.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was glad to have somebody along to share it with. It would have been undoubtably painful and boring if I had went by myself, which is what kept me from going the past years. I don't plan on dancing to rap again for a long time, though.


Well shit.

Looks like I'm going to be coughing up something like 750 bucks within the next year. I promised myself the only way I'd get a PlayStation 3 is if they made a sequel to Zone of the Enders 2: The Second Runner, my most favorite game EVAR, something I was sure would never happen. But lo and behold, Hideo Kojima up and announces that he's going to work on ZOE3 once he finishes up with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. I am at the same time ecstatic and angry. My dream game is coming out, but I can't get it because I'd like to maybe go to college someday.

So I'm going to start playing Paranoia, right? With my gaming group it should be loads of hilarious. I just need to order it from Amazon now.

Dude, I watched Episode 2 of Hellsing Ultimate. Because everybody needs a healthy dose of the old ultraviolence now and then. Also, Luke and Jon Valentine are the coolest villains ever. Well, maybe just Jon. Luke's kind of a pansy.

I get the feeling there are tons of grammar errors in this post. Don't care.

I got a part in Trolls. I am simply "Man". I'm rather dissapointed with this development, but it at least preserves my perfect record. I would have liked to get into the competition piece, but children's plays are fun, too.

I rearranged my bedroom the other day. It will henceforth be known as "The Great Dust Bunny Migration of '06".

There was something else I wanted to write, but this entry is long enough as it is.

Things are different when you're staring down the barrel of a turkey!

Introducing the new Chrysler Didgeridoo - Drive in style.

School's exciting. For now. Auditions are next week. Once In The Time of Trolls, and Sunday Tea with Desiree. The former being the traveling children's show and the latter being the TheaterFest competition piece.

The release tournament for SWM: Bounty Hunters is quickly approaching. I'm hoping to make it. I finished up Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines and it was pretty good. This is about the first Star Wars novel I can think of that portrays Boba Fett as an actual person with feelings rather than just a badass bounty hunter with a jetpack. Not that he's not that anymore, but he is getting up there in the years.

In my need to quench my thirst for everything Neil Gaiman, I started on Anansi Boys which is actually hilarious, compared to Neverwhere and American Gods. He's really got some versatility.

I can't wait for Strats to start; I got this awesome campaign idea that I can't wait to introduce.

Casino Royale is starting to look really good, and most of my reservations regarding the new Bond, Daniel Craig, have been averted. I am so ready to kick off the fall movie season.

Adult Swim finally gets out of the summer funk with Bleach and Trinity Blood premiering tonight, in addition to more new episodes of Eureka Seven. Looking forward to that.
