( Heroes - 3x06 - Dying of the Light )

Random things that happened today:

1) A kid guessing that rhino was "horned beast" in English. I'm always amazed that kids who don't even know "How are you?" can pull stuff like that out of nowhere.

2) The homeroom teacher for one of the the elementary school classes and his completely random English. The kids were talking amongst themselves ( Read more... )

I don't remember who originally posted this meme since it was a few months ago, but I finally got around to doing it: the "FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME" meme. The gist of it was that female characters tend to be under-appreciated, ignored, disproportionately hated, or just plain shafted in both canon and fandom. Hence the meme: list ten female ( Read more... )

Finally finished Ace Attorney 4. It wasn't as good as the first three, but it had its moments. And some clever approaches to solving the cases. The bits near the end of the last case was a cool way to approach things, even if the actual ending was kinda lacking and sudden. (LOL devilobsidian, I read those comics you linked a while ago. I agree. [HUGE ACE ( Read more... )

Damn it, why didn't I hear about this Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney) concert sooner? The Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra playing Ace Attorney music! Looks like tickets sold out the first day they were on sale. SADNESS. I would have made a trip to Tokyo just to see this.

EDIT: Show-your-desktop meme from anteka. Why not?

The elementary schools I teach vary a LOT, but they're always the best sources of LOL. When you're teaching English, you can't beat some of the stuff that elementary school kids come up with. I've been using a set of vehicle flash cards a lot lately, since it has everything from mundane things like cars and trucks, to interesting things like ( Read more... )

Yes! Got a shipment notification from PlayAsia, so my copy of Ace Attorney 4 is on its way. That should give me a few days of amusement and shouting "OBJECTION!" at my DS ( Read more... )

The UFO-lover in me LOLed.

Man, I want to see this movie so bad. Looks like there's no version out in English yet, sadly. Not even a fansub. I haven't seen a good horror movie since Session 9, and this one looks promising, so here's hoping it'll be available soon.

The English version of the fourth Ace Attorney game (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney) ( Read more... )

Clearing out some accumulated links. Behold!

- I would play this drinking game. XD

- If you happened to be in Pittsburgh, and you happened to see two female ninjas robbing a gas station...

- Slitting your wrists is for pussies. It takes REAL dedication to build your own guillotine.

- Speaking of dedication: how to hide beer in the office.- If ( Read more... )

A week in the new apartment, and so far so good. I have most of the mystery sticky greasy crap cleaned off the places that matter, and most of my stuff put away. I want to get a few decorations and things, but money's dwindling fast, so I'll wait until I get paid to buy anything else. There's a ladybug clock, a skull-and-crossbones bandanna, and a ( Read more... )
