Out flew the web and floated wide;

Wow, and I meant to be useful today! :V

Jen, soror optima, I think the day you gave me your old Pokemon Pinball game (you did that, by the way) you did me a grave disservice. It seems that I am more concerned with evolving a Weedle all the way to a Beedrill to complete that Pokedex than I am with editing my letter to Dr. What's-his-name or writing the character essay I'm been itching to do for a quarter of a year. Or playing Chrono Trigger, putting my evolving morals down on paper, replying to waiting tags in my RPs, and least of all studying.

Mm, so I showed my brother a couple episodes of Cowboy Bebop over the break, thus kickstarting my much needed project to make him as dorky as the rest of his family. He seemed to like it, although maybe he was just glad to actually spend time with me and would have watched anything. I think he must get lonely; I always hear how his group of friends has prodigious amounts of drama, and you can't really relax with that kind of people. He's the only kid left in the house at this point, which must be strange after growing up with Jen and I. I should probably visit more often.

Have I ever mentioned that I'm just awful at classic side-scrollers? I bought the Sonic Mega Collection a while back, which is a handful of classic Sonic games. It took several game overs before I made it out of Green Hill Zone in the first game! I dig the idea, though, of using the collectible rings as health. I never really understood how unique that was until I played with it myself.

Agh, I better at least work on that letter, then those tags, then maybe learn a bit about Jews. Haha, OR I COULD EAT. RIGHT. I just remembered that all I've eaten today is some crackers and some chips. To the kitchen!


PS. APPARENTLY I'M FLAMBOYANT. FRICK.

PPS. I HAD NO IDEA THAT FRIG ACTUALLY MEANT SOMETHING. WHOOP, THERE'S ANOTHER WORD TO PURGE FROM MY VOCABULARY DEEERP. I'M ALWAYS LEARNING NEW THINGS.

We should definitely work on turning Danny into a dork. It shouldn't be too difficult; he already gets really high marks, so he's got geek potential. And from geek to dork is, realistically, a short trip.

I'm glad you actually like Cowboy Bebop.

Also, holy shit, I've started watching Read or Die!! It is... wow, kind of awesome, but you left out so much in your description. Why?

Also, my computer died, so I can't watch any more for a long time. It's awful, and sad.

I think he needs it. He's smart and has a lot of lame popular friends and it's clear that somewhere along the line something went wrong with that one. I SHOULD HAVE BULLIED HIM MORE AS A CHILD. I BLAME MYSELF.

I love Bebop. I don't think I ever actually posted about it for some reason, but I watched it a few months ago. Have you seen Samurai Champloo (or whatever)? I've heard that it is kind of similar and by the same people or something but maybe not as good?

What did I leave out? :o SHOULD I HAVE MENTIONED THAT THE ENGLISH LIBRARY IS AN INTERNATIONAL SUBTERFUGE ORGANIZATION?

What happened to your computer? You know, mom & dad have your old one at home, if you need it. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

I've actually seen Champloo, as long as you go for the subs (Which I'm sure you know) and not the translations (Where they change the one dude to be more like a mouthy American teenager rather than just a barbarian) it is pretty decent.

That's what I heard.

...Wait, since when do you watch anime?

[identity profile] a-bomb37.livejournal.com 2009-02-26 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
SINCE NEVER. WHAT EVER ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

DON'T BE COY

HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?

I'LL BE HONEST, THE CAPS REALLY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT'S A BIGGER DEAL THAN IT IS. ME AND DEVON BURNED THROUGH MOST OF THE FIRST SEASON OF CHAMPLOO A WAYS BACK. THAT'S ABOUT IT.

I DOWNLOADED PRINCESS MONONOKE(SP?) BUT THAT'S OLD SCHOOL AWESOME SO IT DOESN'T COUNT.

I WAS HOPING THIS WAS SOME DEEPLY KEPT SECRET. IMAGINE THE SCANDAL! Alas, it is not.

Princess Mononoke is awesome and everyone should see it. I'm glad you did.
