Ah, I see what you're saying The music enhances the story, kinda like what the Lord of the Rings movies had. Or when going through the Shadow Temple in OoT and getting a feeling to expect something at every turn.

That would be Ocarina of Time and the Gears of War trilogy in my case for games. In the realm of books, it would be the Harry Potter series. When you put it like that I understand what you mean.

Ah, okay. I'll try to find the soundtrack or the game then when everything is not as chaotic as now.

I have to agree with you when they put musicals in TV shows; it tends to grate on you after a few seconds. No I haven't played the Final Fantasy games (sorry, not in my realm of taste), but I've seen the CG movie Advent Children. Would that count? If you don't mind the constant singing in a language you're not familiar with, then yes it is amazing. I certainly enjoyed it, even after I was shocked by the high pitched voices of two of the tenor singers. The one I saw with the club was entitled Rodelinda.

Went to see an opera for the first time today with the music club. It was a pretty good experience, and I learned to not assume that all guys are tenors.

My calender has suddenly filled up.....holy crap.....I respect the faculty here at college even more. At least I've got some Christmas shopping done for my mom and dad. I bought Dad two coffee cups (a travel mug and a ceramic mug), and I bought mom a shirt and a coffee mug too. The mugs were surprisingly better priced here at the campus store than any of the local stores in town.

sure you should have a look, try to get either 7zip or winrar. they are free. don't worry, I'll always compress the finished article as a zip file. Thanks! Wowsers, the Libertus are dedicated if they asked Griselda to activate Mode C.

I really need to find a program that'll decode rar files....dang it. Someone mind telling me what's happening please?

Went on my first date Monday night with a fellow Nerd club member. We had a good time; we just hung out and talked. To all Americans here: Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Come to think of it: what could you use to make an Artificial Medal? High grade titanium?

It's not stated, but more than likely it is not made of the same material as a real Control Medal.

I don't think I've ever been afraid to open a book in my life until today. One of my resources for an Art History essay was first checked out in the 1950's, and I'm the first to check it out in over twenty damn years. The year of print is nowhere to be found in it and the pages are now a dark muastard yellow collor and smell like old cigars. I was tenderly holding the thing while the librarian helped me find more references that would not crumble to dust on me anytime soon.

Just got done reading Inheritence, the last installment for the Eragon series. Holy cow! Half of what occured in the book I didn't expect in the slightest. Well done, Mr. Paolini!

I would want to go as Alkanphel in his Sihla Isle costume. I've got the material, just need to find someone who knows how to sew clothes and such.

We're starting to talk about going to ComicCon or some other conventions in the nerd club. Hopefully I will be able to go to at least one of them *crosses fingers* and hopefully I can get someone to help me with my cosplay for those events.

Yay! Thank you, Ryuki! Oh crap....that's one hell of a cliff hanger.

Hmmm....I think focusing on various artists is not in Art History. I think you focus on those artists in either high school art classes or one of the other art college courses like Painting. I can't garuntee that since my class is in the Byzatine/Early Christianity era at this point. Most of the art we've seen has no artist listed, but we might focus on Van Gogh and such once we get into Modern Art next semester. Blog time: Got a new computer over the weekend! My poor old one is going out and it got to the point where I had to get a new one and kiss my birthday good-bye for this year. Anywho....it's got a lot better screen resolution, meaning I can reload my studio software! Yay! Just one slight problem: I can't display the Guyver scanlations anymore. Don't know why it's not wanting to work and it works fine on my old one. Hopefully I can figure it out. Apparently it can decompress zip files like my old one....oh well I guess.

Damn it. Can't open the file.

I'm taking Intermediate Algebra before going into College Algebra. My college makes its students take a variety of classes with their needed Major/Minor classes. We get a lot of foreign students here, so it's a cultural melting-pot college in some sense. As for Art History it basically goes over the evolution of art, from Pre-Historic to Egyptian to Greek/Roman etc. It's part of my Art Major to learn the history behind today's art tecniques and arcitechture that was also incorporated with ancient temples. I believe Art History in my college is broken into two parts: Pre-Historic to 12th Century, and then past 12th Century to a few years ago.

Assignments are going slowly. Composition I tutoring is really helping me out with the essays, and Algebra tutoring is a big load of help too. I really need to get onto my Art History essay now that I think of it... Hmmm....I'm actually surprised I didn't see the Otaku Murders in there because that is the main reason why Otaku is a taboo in Japan. Honestly, I really can't say anything on the topic since I'm not much of a nerd/geek.

Sadly, I understood both of you. I understood Ryuki because I tend to write a lot (and I also pointed out a thousand or so grammar mistakes in the Twilight books to one of my friends in high school just to annoy them). Durendal used Yoda as a reference, and I actually didn't know he spoke like that I might actually follow your advice on reading raw Japanese manga with a dictionary in hand. Thank you both!

Hmm....Ryuki, can we try to learn the grammar structure first? It would probably help out a lot if we knew how the sentences are structured in Japanese.

Holy cow I didn't think my college could get any cooler! Just got back from the Halloween Costume Ball. Had a blast there as a black sorceress, especially when I danced to a few certain songs with some cute guys Now....I need sleep....zzzZzz.....

I spoke with the instructor yesterday, and he's allowing me to redo the assignment. I just emailed him my redos this morning after getting help from fellow classmates in the same CI class. Hopefully I'll get a passing grade.

I'm ready to cry. Not just cry my eyes out, but cry an entire ocean. I just learned that I failed Critical Inquiry because I didn't do a Letter of Recomendation assignment, and I didn't know how to make one. The instructor gave us no direction as to where to start, and he hasn't been helpful with the Resume assignment he gave us. I don't know what to do.
