Back to School (Now with More Words!)

Thu Sep 3, 2009, 4:58 PM
  • Mood: Miserable
  • Listening to: The Reeling - Passion Pit
  • Reading: Golden Compass, Tintin vol.2, Black Jack vol. 2
  • Watching: Cash Cab: After Dark
  • Eating: Nuthin'
  • Drinking: Minute Maid Berry Punch
Yep, it's that time again. Again. For once, I'm actually excited about going back...though I definitely didn't miss going to bed at 10(30 :greetings:) or waking up at 5:20. Anyway, while I'm here, how did you guys Spend Your Summer Vacations? I saw some movies and plays, but that's about it...nothing much to report, I was just really tired of having that out-of-date journal as always. =p

*[Edit]. One week in and things are going pretty good! Computer art looks fun, but moves pretty fast and it reminded me how much unfinished computer graphics creep me the hell out. Seriously, I made a gooey looking "C" shape that exploded on me and deleted half of a bust, makin' him all hollow. Seriously, just remembering it gave me the willies...and I *never* use that word. Oh well, hopefully I'll get the hang of things (and get used to things) by the time we start creating actual characters. But if my 8th(?) grade class with this teacher is anything like this one....it'll be one horribly paced roller coaster to a barely passing grade. Buuuut, this should be better. Advanced Art is frickin' sweet and I love this teacher, and all the kids are nice. AP English is taking it's time...but in about a week...when I get comfortable....I know it's going to ambush me and attack with a f***-ton of essays. :XD: Actually, there's already one due Tuesday...but it's pretty simple. Unlike the three summer-reading projects due at the end of the month. :faint: Aside from that, Algebra is incredibly easy for once, American Government could be cool and Biology (that I'm taking now [with a bunch of underacheivers and lower-grade...kids] because of many years of scheduling errors nobody noticed until last year)...is looking weird. The teacher mumbles really softly, does many lessons a day and moves super fast while constantly reminding us that he can't wait for us to finish. ANYwho....I'll live. =p

The Movie Rats puppets are underway and close to completion and we should hopefully have an episode online (the big Summer Movie Review) by the *third or fourth* week of september.

School starts soon for me as well... I'm excited about having drawing as an elective, but I'm nervous about the other classes... It'll all turn out well, though! :D

How are "Tintin" and "Black Jack," by the way?

By the way, that's an awesome avatar you've got!

Yeah, I'm sure it will. :D I finally have two cool art classes; Advanced Art (with a teacher I like) and Computer Art. Aside from AP English and American Government (my one class with friends)....the rest I could do without.

Tintin is really cool so far, each book in the volume is better than the last. The first one is a little repetitive and boring, but it really starts to pick up in "Cigars of the Pharaoh" and so far "The Blue Lotus" is really cool (though out-dated a tad...). I'd recommend it if you like those old-timey adventure serial comics. :D Black Jack is engrossing and well-written as always...but it's even darker than Vol. 1...and one pointlessly harsh story (it's supposed to have a nice ending, but it's really kinda gruesome) made me take a bit of a break from it.

Thanks! :dance: I was wondering if anyone would say anything since everyone loved my older avatar so much. After watching the DVD (for the first time in ages)...I realise how much I loooved Bambi. :XD: And Thumper's always cool. =p

Nice! I can imagine that awesomeness will abound when you apply your skills to technology! :D

Perhaps I'll give Tintin a read... I've never read it, but I've heard that it's one of the most popular foreign comics out there, so I figure that it must have some broad appeal to gain a worldwide audience.

That dancing Zoidberg was so awesome... LULZ were produced just at the sight of it. The new icon is equally cool! :D "Bambi" is a classic; it's got tons of charm, great storytelling, top-notch animation, and yes, Thumper is awesome! Every one of those "what did your father say?" moments are so charming and funny!

While we're on the topic, have you seen "Pinnochio" lately? I was checking it out a few weeks ago and the case is the same! It sorta makes you wonder how anything could've led the Disney company to making a channel that shows nothing but shows about t(w)eens that are super rich, go to a weird school, or have a secret... :saddrunk:

Thanks! :boogie:

You should. =p It is, and I can see why it got so popular. The stories are simple (or at least start that way) and they got me hooked. :XD:

Thanks! :D Yeah, that's just why I like it too.

Yep, and it was really cool. =p Well many years of changing trends and the decay of their own channel as those shows got popular...I know why it changed, but the Disney name is pretty disconnected from the product now.
