The most heartening thing I've seen in a while
Monday, 29 May 2006 01:19:26

LONG story short, I'm spending the semester studying in Chile (the long skinny country in South America? That's the one!). Today I went to the local Blockbuster (yes, they have those here, freaked me out too) in search of X-Men movies. But there, on the shelf, in the new releases section, were four copies of Serenity! AND one of them was already checked out. Yay!

x-men

I'm telling you here and now, if you don't want to see spoilers you should stop reading and leave. Well, I saw x3 friday night, and I had the same reaction to it that I had the first time I watched serenity: a simultaneous "This is awesome" and "God, this sucks". To make a long story short, the writer pulled a shakespeare and decided to kill nearly everyone off, starting with Scott and professor X and ending with Jean. What is really interesting is if you stay and watch the clip that is after the credits. The clip starts off in a hospital with a woman tending a person that is covered in bandages. Then you hear a familiar voice call the woman's name. She looks suprised, then calls out "Professor?" This clip confused me, because the professor dies in such a way that he could not possibly be alive still. But then I remembered something from the beginning of the movie, where the professor shows his class a man in a hospital bed and tells the kids that although the man is functioning on his own, he has no consciousness and never would. He then starts a discussion with them about the ethics of putting the consciousness of a dying person into that man's body. At first I thought that clip was just a throwaway clip, a kind of side story thing that was just there to show that they were teaching the kids in the school ethics, but now I think it was there for another purpose, to set up the clip at the end. I think that as the professor was dying, he put his consciousness into the man in the hospital. That's why the nurse was suprised when her paitent spoke and why she was suprised that the man that spoke to her was the professor.

Hi! I just got a Ipod Nano that is just for music but I do have Itunes on my computer. Can I view or listen to Podcats still? Can I just listen to them on my computer on Itunes?

Just An Update III
Monday, 29 May 2006 04:06:23

Lo, all! Its been too long. Hope everyones doing well. School is officially over, and life has begun. Oh, how I dread it all. I hate the modern day, but I guess that makes me a hypocrit, seeing as how I'm using a computer at this very moment... Anywho, computer time is VERY limited now. I never got to print the Fanfics I wanted to print. Darned printer and its no paper evilness. I don't have a good computer at home, rather, don't have the Net at home. What to do. I'll just have to rely on wealthy friends and their comptuers. :smile: Yeah, it was good. I had my graduation ceremony as well as my birthday on the same day! Talk about a rude gift. "Yorik Kirmah, you're now an alumni! Oh, and happy birthday! What to get you... Hmm... I know!" *spanks my rear* "Go out there and be somebody!" Dang. Well, I must go... Stay shiny all! I love you!

Role Playin and Game Playin
Monday, 29 May 2006 04:29:09

I just joined a firefly sim. I'm kinda excited. Yes, i knew that there exist sims for damn near anything on the bloody planet. I'd never thought of a firefly rp before. So i'm jumpin to get into character and all that. My character's name is Jennifer Natalie Price. Nick name "Price". She's a merc, it worked in my head. ya get it, right? Anyway. I just joined this site aswell. Looks awesome. came upon it by accident. But the best things happen that way, you know. anyway, anyone interested in the sim, drop a line.

Motion City Soundtrack
Monday, 29 May 2006 05:08:35

So I caught Motion City Soundtrack when they rolled...or rather, flew...into Hawaii on Saturday. Ranks up there in like my top...5...shows I guess, even if Justin screwed up his foot and couldn't go all crazy. And believe me, it's quite a list...despite the fact that Hawaii doesn't have the best pickings. But about that... I can't believe it's been almost a year since my last show, which was Billy Corgan last summer when I was up in San Francisco. I should say that really my last show was The Eagles doing their Farewell I tour in December. It's been a year since I saw a show at a club and Hawaii venues are pretty crappy too. Far, far too small for this stuff. Not like the Fillmore where I saw Billy Corgan. Also...what's up with all the little ones? All they do is take up space up in the front and then they have to push their way back when the heat/moshers gets to them. Now that I'm 21 going on 22...I'm getting to be a really big fan of 21+ shows...or at least 18+ shows. Or maybe an 18+ line at the club... You know, if you're under age you stay at the back. Or...well...Hawaii could get some bigger venues to host shows, haha.

Firefly Trueths Poetic Edda
Monday, 29 May 2006 17:32:26

The light is lost in the depth of shadow. (The rim planets out of Alliance influence) A glimmer of the crescent moon crossed the blinding dread of fear. (The thought of Miranda and what the Alliance did to it) The smoke of death suffocates the barren land. (All of the People are dead asleep foreboding to the creation of Reavers) Leap out and live we the lost, but by the beat of a heart fight back. (How Mal needed to transmit the message from Miranda and how River had to fight to save all that she cared for all that she had in the verse) The court of this obsession (love of Firefly), is abstracted from possession (to own the DVD) which when the worlds of outside in fall. (Knowing that there is only one Season of Firefly and it broke how one views life)

I'll be manning the Islam International Publications Book stall for our mosque on Friday 5pm-on for sure, plus Sat morning-late afternoon, and possibly sunday as well. I'll be the guy in the Browncoat [duh]... Stop by if you get out there. Would love to see some board members in person.
