So, yeah, I disappeared yesterday. Don’t worry, you’ll probably get a new feature tonight! Unless, of course, Eternal Darkness is waiting for me when I get back from work. In that case…
Our first feature with video!
1989? AAaaaaaaaghhhhhhhh. I know people born after this movie was made! I saw this in the theatres!
Jeez, I can’t wait to see how depressed I am when I’m 40.
I think I’ve started my mid life crisis at 18.
Talk about strange urges. I’m currently halfway through The Little Mermaid. I’d forgotten a few things about this movie. One: When your age isn’t a single digit, Ariel is hot. Two: This is the last movie to use Disney’s “old” visual style. You can see a direct progression from Snow White to the Little Mermaid. However, pop in Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin…much, much different. Now that disney has even abanonded it’s old formula (the Emperor’s New Groove, Atlantis, Lilo and Stitch…new age Disney.), this movie seems even stranger. I remember when this thing was new. Damn, I’m getting old. Ancient. Back later.
I have witnessed a miracle. I was really worried about registering for classes today. I had picked out what classes I needed to take about a week ago, as some of you will no doubt remember, and some of them were only offered in a few times, one class had only a single session this semester. Since I was a freshman last year, I got used to fighting my way through registration because we were so late in the process. I was expecting to find most of my classes full today when I went to register. To make matters worse, not only was my time pretty late in priority registration, it was today while I was at work! I wrote down the computer numbers of the schedule I worked out as what I really wanted, and I took that to work with me. I figured I would get into as many of them as I good there, and then spend the time fixing the schedule later at home. Much to my surprise, when I logged in and started adding the classes…they were all open. I registered in less than two minutes. I’m very scared, things like this aren’t supposed to happen. So, my perfect schedule [for now, at least] is complete. I would like for everyone at home to pray for Zen, since he got royally shafted on his registration time…it’s tomorrow! :)

Day Four of the Contest of Champions is now online, in the Features section. I would personally like to thank Nickelodeon for loaning us Bob the Builder. Without him, I don’t think our contest would have had the celebrity edge that made it such a success. In other, random news, one of my old friends who I hadn’t talked to in awhile called this site, in essence, an online journal. That scared the hell out of me. We’re not aiming to create anything like those pity and ego festivals. Well, maybe the egos. If anything, I see our site veering more towards becoming a clone of the Brunching Shuttlecocks than anything else. Not that we’re trying to emulate anyone, especially since we post serious content as well, something Brunching doesn’t do. I’m not sure what I want this site to be. Hell, I’m not sure if we’ve even really thought about it. I’d love for this place to be half silly playful crap, half political debates and historical discussions. Of course, I live and breed in the study of languages, history, politics, theology…anything that falls under the “Social Science” category. This would drive Kitty and Zen up very tall trees. Basically, I don’t think we can be compared to much of anything at the moment, because we have no clue what we’re going to be. The fact that this is a joint project is very good for you, because you have my anal-rentitive work ethic (I can seem amazingly lazy, but if something that I feel is my responsibility is being left untended, I freak out) to keep the page updated daily, Kitty’s frivilousness to keep me from debating the news from the middle east in great detail, and Zen as the magical middle ground. Essentially the swing vote that keeps things balanced. Oh well, enough rambling, enjoy the Contest!
Dare you enter, and discover the winner of our contest?
Yeah, so Day Four of the Contest of Champions will be online soon. Once I finish it. I just felt like popping on here to answer a question. While I won’t tell who Terra’s guest is going to be in the final match, I can assure you that no matter how much sense it would make to people who know me, it is not the woman pictured below. Thank you.
Almost exactly 12 hours later, Day Three of the Contest of Champions is online in the Features section! This one is slightly unpredictable…only slightly. Tune in tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion, and the naming of the champion? Oh, might as well put up another Lilo and Stitch image.
