Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Cherri and I watched twelve episodes of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers last night. WE got a good laugh out of it. And I don’t remember Jason being so “NO BS.” But he gets the job done. He’s got a way of doing things, Morph, magic weapons, combine weapons. If combining the weapons doesn’t work, they switch to zords, combine, get the mega sword, and end the battle. It’s very to the point, wastes no time. I always remember Tommy taking so much longer, and even in comparison to the fist movie, Tommy lets them get stomped up on before he lets them morph. Not that I’m saying one leader is better than the other, just that Jason has a no nonsense policy about it. Tommy seems to let things drag out. AH, but it was a hilariously good time, even though I think Zordon is full of it.
Not looking forward to the reading for Society, Ethics and Technology this coming week. But I can read through the whole book. My reading for June has been a lot of short (wonderful) stories. So I’ll just read a few hours every day and get it out of the way. I could probably read it in one day if I sat and did it. But in Fantasy class we’re getting to Dark Fantasy and Horror! *w*

I wasn’t a big fan of the first Final Tactics advanced. I found extremely boring and easy, so I would put it down for long amounts of time. I didn’t have that problem with the second one. I adored it. I was really surprised by how much I liked the story and the characters. Luso is so much cooler than Marche. And I liked Adelle way more than the pink haired girl whose name I can’t even remember. XD I did miss Montblanc though, and I like that they gave Vaan a shirt. And some of his lines crack me up.
