So I just finished watching the entirety of Cowboy Bebop including the movie, and I must say that it's made it to the top of my greatest-anime-of-all-time list, which is a very short list mind you. It now goes as so: 1. Trigun 2. Cowboy Bebop 3. Full Metal Alchemist (the second series not the first piece of crap dished out). But man I love a good action show. And I've come to realize how much of an action buff I am when it comes to movies and tv shows. Take my brief but still amazing run-in with Firefly. I guess I have a thing for space cowboys. If there's a good and dirty brawl involved, I'm all for it; gun-totten' action just gets me riled up for adventure. Just to waste the potential reader's time, let me walk through a list of glorious movies that's epic on every level (with no importance in their order):
1. Glory, big star: Denzel Washington, set in the Civil War this movie tells the story of an African American platoon.
2. Saving Private Ryan, big star: need I say? World War II movies are always epic, and this one has an amazing opening battle scene at the Battle of Omaha
3. Black Hawk Down, big star: dunno but the minor stars include Orlando Bloom and Ewan McGregor, This is about the US involvement in Somalia back in the Clinton days. I bet a lot of us don't recall this on the news.
4. The Gladiator, not only does this have brutal fight scenes but also a great tear-jerker plot
5. Any of the Bourne movies, big star: Matt Damon, contains some of the smartest fight scenes ever. A good leap better than any Bond film.

I need to have something new to watch, any suggestions?

How I Met Your Mother. Watch it. Check out the site. www.notafathersday.com

Okay, I just finished my paper. But what really prevented me from finishing it sooner was this: Chris doesn't think history is important. How does that work?! He said that all that matters is the present situation and off of that, there's no need to know about the history of how it came to be. History is just "fun facts" as he put it. Please help me! I'm too tired right now to remember my own argument, which I did make while taking a shower. I'll post mine up later. He reads my entries so perhaps I can have him respond to your guys' comments and even get him to write his own argument up. We'll see how this goes.

Starting............................................ now.

Tonight might be the night when I sleep in my own bed! Explanation: Friday night. Study party down in Chris and Turpin's room. I'm such a bad guest! I was reading my Chinese history textbook; it was two in the morning, so I tell myself "Right. Finish this chapter and just exit quietly out the door." What happens instead? I fall asleep in front of their door! Come Saturday morning, I hear Chris leaving to volunteer at a hospital. He tells me I can sleep in his bed while he's gone. I crawl into his bed and sleep there. I wake up, and he's sleeping on the floor -_- I felt so bad! I was annoyed by my own behavior!

Five minutes are up. All those in favor of me continuing this post vote yay, or I shall just leave it as is. Voting booth will close in fourty-eight hours.

So here it is, the fruits of my labour.

Anyone remember this from last summer? ^^ I think my icon-making skills have gotten better during the past year, but there's still loads of room for improvement. There's a lot of Harvest Moon and How I Met Your Mother icons and then a few from random fandoms :) I know I won't be able to finish this challenge given that I have know clue what to do for some of these themes (my own laziness is also a factor).

I am happy to report that my computer is up and running again :D My uncle is a mircle worker. Now I have to make sure everything is backed up onto the external drive XD That means finding a way to get all of my iTunes music on there without screwing up my library. But first I have to pack. I'll be leaving on a jet plane in approximately 23 hours to go to Oregon. College, here I come!!! Ack, and I haven't even finished my summer reading XDD

Well as a farewell gift to various people, I give icons that I was working on before my computer croaked. It's basically Edarwright and Mike (Spaced)
