Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Kaiba/Pegasus was the best bit. That I remember. Which is just that really. So it wins by default.

Don't you diminish the beauty of ... thing!

@Morgey - That's most of what I remember too, that and the fail monster/villain, whatever. I don't even remember the why, just that it was the lamest battle I've ever seen.

Yea, I really loved the first generation of characters in Skins and just couldn't be bothered to "care" all over again. With the new YGO series it would probably be what I think of the characters, which is why 5D looked more appealing to me in GX, the characters seemed better. However I just haven't had the time.

The census is a populous survey, not a voice survey, that's just silly. Most of my friends are talking about drawing cocks and claiming to be Jedi. I don't know why they bother handing them to students.

@Kits - Yea people are much more amenable to houses popping up than apartments, just because apartments usually come with a lower income of tenant, and stereotypes about the lower income bracket do generally prove to be true.

Where in CA did you go? I mean yea I'm sure NY is worse (though NY is also as highly populated but MUCH smaller, CA land wise is the 3rd biggest state I think, makes a big difference). However if you are driving through LA in rush hour it will seriously take you 2 hours to travel a few miles, so yea, it's pretty bad. Berkeley and SF can be the same way, Berkeley is probably worse because SF has more public transit options and is easier to walk. So I'm not saying all of CA is horrible, but large sections of the populated part get pretty bad. I mean Hayward - Davis can be driven in about an hour and 20 minutes, but in traffic it's taken me about 4 hours before. Which is just ridiculously awful. I've planned my trips to just drive in the middle of the night sometimes rather than sit in traffic.

Even if Avatar looked amazing it still probably would have given me a headache, so I don't think it would be worth it for me. Nothing looks cool enough to justify feeling like puking after a movie. I didn't see Avatar, having seen Fern Gully and Pocahontas I apparently already had the plot, giant blue aliens weren't enough of an originality draw for me, heh. And yea the theater by where I'm from had 2D and 3D, however Davis is a much smaller town. And they weren't even showing Alice in either of the two main theaters but in the Varsity, which generally has a lot more of the independent films. So there you don't get options, there are only a few screens. So my Alice experience wasn't a general example of the option to avoid 3D. Like when I saw Tangled we specifically went to one of the time slots that had 2D, that was no problem.

Pegasus/Kaiba made half of the movie for me as well. lol

I TOTALLY read that "tears of being touched" thing the wrong way, as in implications of ***** bear popped into my head. xd

@JK: Sad, but true. I like apartments though; they're cozy.

Um, I've been to a lot of parts of California... area I've been to most often is San Diego. But yeah, that does sound pretty bad. I haven't been to LA, so that would explain a lot.

Fair enough. Haha, yeah, Avatar's plot was really cliche, but I will give it that it was delivered well. Like it pretty much was Pocahontas, but it was Pocahontas with five times better character development, script, acting, directing... even though I had seen the plot before, I enjoyed it a lot just because it was presented so well, and I don't just mean visually. The characters were very engaging. But anyway, yeah, I made sure to see Tangled in 2D as well. XD I don't remember what I saw Alice in, I think 2D. My friends and I generally prefer that, but sometimes if others want to see it in 3D, I'm fine with that too.

Ghh, you pervert, I couldn't think of a better way to word it! XD

@Morgey: I <3 U 2

...you get fined if you're rude to university employees? Or is that what a chaplain is?

Haha, family? What's that? Never heard of it.

Yikes, one lane? That's ridiculous.

I saw it in 2D though; I agree about the headache of 3D not being worth the extra money, but that wasn't a problem with Avatar for me.

@Kits - Lucky you. The one thing I love most about college is I'm always far enough away that I have to move out. Whenever I'm not in school I've never had a job that paid decently enough to justify paying rent, thus I'm stuck with the parental units, and at times the brother. I already feel cramped sharing a house with them, I definitely wouldn't want to share more than that. And well, as far as the MAYBE on the kids thing goes (*shudders* my friend was joking at lunch yesterday that in 10 years they'd track me down and find I had 7 kids. One, unless I had one or several large multiple births, that'd mean starting like now...creepy!!) I wouldn't want to live in an apartment as a parent either. So for as long as I'm single and/or not in a large family situation (i.e. living with more than just a man friend...heh, I like that term, man friend) than I like apts. Otherwise nope.

Yea and it's often under construction at that! It's just winding up through the mountains for long ways, so unless you can make the mountains wider you can't really have more lanes.

@Morgey - I think as a non-citizen and only very temporary resident they'd have a hard time tracking me down. But I finished it last night and I'm about to go turn it in on my way to the library, so done deal. ^_^

NOOOOOOO!!! Get back here Morgey, GET BACK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! razz

Is that two hours round trip or two hours one way? Because yikes if you are actually traveling 4 hours a day for school, though again I knew several people in CA, at Davis, who did it. I don't think I could take 4 hours a day commuting. I did roughly 2 hours round trip for work for awhile (though sometimes because of traffic it would be more, but the drive itself was only about 40-50 miles and if I could avoid traffic - which I usually did by just leaving early/leaving late - though that also sucked, however I'd rather not just sit and not move), but that was definitely pushing it for me.

When I lived about a 15 minute drive from Davis I took the bus, and it definitely extended the trip. I had to take a bus to the bus (until I hurt my knee, then I had to drive to the second bus because I just couldn't do the walk). Plus the buses ran once an hour on a schedule that either meant I'd be 40 minutes early for class or 15 minutes late. It was a little annoying, I'd have to get up earlier and sometimes get home later, and when paying $500 in rent extra time away from the house (I eventually ended up really resenting anyhow, because of drama with the people) got aggravating. I couldn't do a two hour one way commute though, that would be 4 blown hours of the day for me because I can't read/write/etc on a moving vehicle. I have motion sickness, but it doesn't result in nausea but really bad headaches. So I'd only be able to read for about 10 minutes before I'd have to spend the rest of the trip and probably a significant portion of the day feeling ill. So while I'd love saving money and the hassle of moving (if I didn't stay at school, I usually stayed summers because school is where I worked anyone, and one summer I did do summer classes), that's too long of a commute for me to justify the value. I don't think I could have 4 hours a day in which I pretty much do nothing because I can't be productive on a vehicle. But yea I know plenty of people who make that type of commute, and they hate it but they get by. It helps that they can read or whatever during it.
