LITTLE KURIBOH IS BACK!!! WOO!
And there are new vids!
1. Brief History of Tristan - unsure of what the point is supposed to be, made me laugh in that he's an idiot and that he died...although, huh?
2. Literal Pants - Yea it's definitely the sequence of events I like most about Leather Pants, this I enjoyed, but probably only the one time. I think because there are several random little things I never really noticed about the original video...if they were there. Hmm, man now I'm probably going to have to watch this again because eventually I'm going to have to compare just how crazy I am. xd
3. Tell Me - Yea ok that was just a fail.
But at least he's back. ^_^
Now hopefully we'll get new actual episodes soon, it's been a freaking while. Supposedly the 31st...we shall see.

He never did update his LJ. Am I sacked?
Oh and thanks d00dz. =P
DOCTOR WHO REFERENCE. Tristan, I'm your biggest fan and I've always thought you were awesome and the best thing ever. Can you put in a good word for me with the Doctor? I wanna be a companion. =(
I think Tristan's going to go splat in the new episode. TRISTAN, PUT IN THAT WORD FOR ME BEFORE YOU GO SPLAT, KTHANKS.
Uh yeah, didn't go for the Literal Pants thing but yay LK is back.
JK: I'm having trouble with word count too. You'd think 12,000 wouldn't be much, but I keep starting chapters and they quickly add up. I think it means go for a really specific finicky subject. But then I spose it comes down to planning. I don't do enough of that.
Kitsune: Ilumoar k. Also, you deserve an award for that name. Snappy wordplay is hard.
Sorry I'm not getting round to replying to you guys quicker. I think you should not have conversations until I come on Gaia, obviously.
I don't know how to feel about LK's music videos. I get that they're well-written and not badly done by any means, but there's some visceral cringey reaction I have to them that I don't know where it comes from. I don't know why I don't have that reaction to abridged itself or fanfic in general or what the hell's going on with that, it just seems to be when singing's happening. -shrug-

LJ forsaken! How often does he tend to update that thing usually? Anyhow at least he's back now.
Yea that's probably the best of the videos even though I didn't get where it was ending, I mean yea I assumed the same, killing off Tristan. But he doesn't die canon, so how will that work? And we already killed off his voice once, exactly how are we going to abstract murder him this time?!? lol
Yea, after having some trouble keeping much more surfaced papers down to 4000 words I think staying concentrated enough to have a concise, well researched argument in only 12,000 words will be difficult. At least I have until Sept, and at the moment that seems forever away. Although ugh research is killing me. I am so so busy with school all the time, and whenever I have any fun - like I went to a metal bar last night - I always regret how much work I didn't do. stressed
Hahaha, sorry about us having conversations without you, we'll try to be more boring, how does that sound? Although when "break" starts I'm probably going to be more maniacal with assessments this time, I really want some good marks this time, last round 2 of the 3 were decent (and at least the third was a pass), but I want better than decent, and on all 3. Especially on the Guided Reading as that's what is building into my dissertation.
Haha, I think because his singing voice is so wretched, even in the "better" voices it's still pretty wretched. I like them because they are funny and catchy, but as music themselves they kinda do fail, and that's scary.

@JK: Ooh, ooh! Could you understand some/all of Bakura's French? =D I was curious, so could you please tell me what you heard? For Brooklyn Rage, I thought considering the material LK had to work with, it wasn't a bad mash-up. I mean, I've definitely seen better AMVs, but it worked well with the music. And true, Kaiba's line could've been renewed and re-hilarisized (yay made-up words) at the end; that would've made the video way better. Still, I definitely feel the song was written and performed better than Leather Pants, and I dunno, maybe it's because I'm a picky art major, but I wasn't too fond of the animation used. XD
Yes, saw those videos a few days ago and was excited, though also curious how LK got his account back.
Brief History of Tristan was a preview for the next episode, or I guess more of a... pre-montage? I dunno what to call it.
Literal Pants I enjoyed as well; it was pretty good for such a simple concept.
Tell Me was even more fail than Snot Him. I just groaned.
@Morgey: Yes, you are sacked. I'm sorry, but we'll give you a month's notice before you're completely off the job.
Yaaay, can my award be shiny and orange? =D
Oh, sorry, we'll make sure to not post at all until My Gaia shows you're online and in this guild.
Maybe you're allergic to LK's singing?
@JK: Hahahaha, sorry for being cocky and know-it-all, but I'm totally lawling at how clueless you guys are about what 'Tristan's Death' he's referencing. If you think about what arc they're in right now, when is a point that he 'dies?' Or, really, his soul is removed from his body and put somewhere else, so an evil character takes over his body? Ring any bells? =D Here's a clue: It has to do with a robotic monkey.

Bakura was speaking French in there? I don't remember that, Malik's french was "I want his pants (and then a word that sounds like the verb for run but that doesn't make sense and I haven't put much energy into thinking on it), his pants" and abruptly breaks from the word pants to "why am I speaking French?" back in English. So I got it all except for that one word. Taking it out it's je voudrais son pantalon (unknown), son pantalon, although using voudrais rather than veux kinda amuses me. See Je veux would mean I want in the simple present tense. Je voudrais is the conditional, something that might occur. So to me it's like Malik isn't even sure he'll get the pants. He just would want them. Idk, that's just me being silly.
Ugh, I'm hella dumb, shoulda just realized it, but I never knew this word in french. Ok the word I didn't know was cuir, so he's saying "je voudrais son pantalon cuir, son pantalon..." Can you guess what cuir means? Well it's ridiculously obvious to me what it had to be, once I realized it can't be run because it's not a verb, and when I thought about the fact that it's not a verb, and what it must be, an adjective, it all made sense. So I could just do English - French search on the word leather, and thus was given cuir, which could very well sound like courir (to run) to me. Epic fail, at least I feel epic fail. But there you go, that is the french in the video, again the french Malik speaks. If you really meant Bakura then idk, don't have the patience at the moment to listen to the whole thing again, but I'll just assume typo, hehe. Anyhow long long ramble that basically just translates one sentence and a phrase aside, there ya go. xd
It definitely worked well, I don't think that he failed to make Brooklyn Rage all it could be, it is, it just had a plateau cap, and that was inevitable. And I've never liked the animation in Leather Pants, haha. I know I have friends who get touchy about people who aren't artistic themselves being critical, but hey, just because I can't draw doesn't mean I'm blind and don't have taste. I fully appreciate how hard art can be, but that doesn't mean I'm going to just clap because it's better than I can do. And it is significantly better than I can do. But yea, I definitely prefer the show art. That is one thing I most definitely like better about Brooklyn Rage. Leather Pants leaves me wishing it was animated better, and I know that's slightly unfair, but it is how I feel.
Yea I know, I was combing for information and just couldn't be bothered to troll through comment after comment. MORGEY! Hehe, if he ever updates his LJ that can be your job now, to see if ever gives info on how he got his account back this time.
Yea I got it was that, I just didn't get where it could at all be going with the dead Tristan thing. Or how any of that would feature in the next episode. Granted it's been so long I don't fully remember what happened in the last new episode. I do kinda wish he'd spend less time on filler and more time on episodes. Some of the filler I do like but the rest just really drives home the fact that I want an episode now!
UGH! It so was, and the fact that it INCLUDED Snot Him into it was even more fail.
Right the monkey...not quite death, but ok. But like I said it's been too long since there has been an episode, and I haven't had time to go back and rewatch anything, so I couldn't remember at all where we are or what was coming up next. He's just taking too long with the Noah Arc, which is an Arc I've mainly only seen once anyhow, so the events are not heavily on my mind. Although remembering now kinda has me annoyed, because he has already "killed off" Tristan before. I mean the concept recycle is a bit too trite for my tastes. The rest of the video was funny though, if a tad pointless.

I forgot the robot monkey! I haven't rewatched that arc in ages. Shame, it's not a bad arc, it's just putting it in the middle of another story like that is annoying. I know anime sometimes has to do that, but eh. Anyway, it's fun having one of these to look forward to again. I hope the break did LK good, although I don't know if it counts as a break considering he's been putting stuff out still but hopefully it can come back bigger and better.
JK: Yeah, I was feeling bad for not using my Sunday evening to get stuff done. Although I still didn't use it to get stuff done, so yeah. UGH. I'm not happy because I've done craploads of secondary reading, and now I'm being told to focus on the primary sources, so while doing the research informs what I'm saying because I can't unread stuff, I don't get to engage with it as much as I'd like. I'm better at telling people they suck than having my own ideas, so it's kinda painful.
Yeah, it's not a break. They had to announce that the library wasn't open Christmas Day, which says it all really.
It's very scary razz But yeah, probably that.
Kitsune: I didn't get paid!
NO >=[ You can have a not-shiny, yellow one.
LK's singing caused the Black Death.
I forgot the robot monkey because I was repressing this. You are not being very sensitive.
JK: If you're not a top chef, you don't know whether you like the food you eat!
Okay, that was over the top, but I do think the "If you can't do it, you can't criticise it" thing is silly. Critique should only really be ignored instantly when it includes some variation of the phrase "it held/ didn't hold my interest". (Also "die", "lame", "emo", but those are more noises than anything else).
Yay rehired!
Maybe Tristan thinks that being a monkey is heaven.

@JK: Whoops, yeah, totally meant to put Malik there. XD I even read over my post and read in my mental hearing, "Bakura," but my mind automatically registered it as Malik. Faaaaiiil. That is amusing though about the type of wanting Malik has for the pants.
Haha, awesome. XD I love and hate when languages trick you like that.
I think that's total bullshit to say people who don't make art can't critique art. To use a less extreme and more related example like Morgey's (which was awesome, by the way XD), it's like saying you can't critique a book because you're not a writer. I've read things and been like, "Total crap" even though my writing is total crap as well. But I digress, the animation was funny enough, but just too undeveloped for my artistic tastes.
Yay, Morgey has a job again! I take away your month's notice, congrats!
Ah, probably what you're not remembering from the episode is that when Honda lost the duel and got his soul taken, he like... I think he fell in a pit of death or something. Something definitely happened to indicate a death, and Shizuka flipped out and was crying and stuff. It wasn't until later you found out his soul was still alive in a robotic monkey, so that's probably what LK was referring to. And I agree about the filler. His filler things used to be exciting rarities and interesting breaks from the episodes, like Christmas specials and such, but now they're just overdone and a distraction from the real content. It also makes it more difficult to appreciate the really good filler content when you get so much less than stellar stuff with it.
I did think the Tristan video was pretty funny though, mostly for seeing the pictures from his past. XD I really liked the mother and father with his hair, and then Tea kicking over Kaiba's castle thing.
@Morgey: Yeah, the Noa thing, I kinda wish it wasn't in the middle of the most tense part of the most tense season in the entire series, but eh, I enjoyed it well enough that I forgave it. XD
I paid you in love. Y u no want my love?! gonk
...but I don't like yellow...
Awwww, I love Monkey Magic! XD It was literally one of the first AMVs I ever saw.
Yeah, constructive criticism is valid from anyone; flaming is valid from no one. Simple as that.

Or it's like saying you have to like every song because you can't read music. (Maybe you guys can, but I can't). There's lots of things we judge without being able to do better.
Yay!
The YGO babies bit was adorable.
First time I watched the Noa arc, I missed the beginning, so I assumed they'd started showing another series. I was pretty grumpy with it as a result, but subsequent viewings made me shut up on that obviously.
u love broke my window!
But bananas are yellow. =[
Monkey Magic is a lot of fun, it would just be more fun if the song didn't stay in one's head for hours after watching it. I want to go and watch old AMVs now, but I can't remember any.
Shimples.

Exactly. I don't get why only certain things we're allowed to judge without having skill in it.
Hah, yeah, I'd be frustrated too, thinking I missed the end of Battle City.
I'm allergic to bananas.
Ah, fair enough. I never minded it getting in my head though. Better than Friday; I should've just not let my curiosity get the better of me. I is now stuck in my head every time I even think about week days. *shivers* And I wanna watch old AMVs too... I have a bunch of old ones back before the Youtube days, when all there was was animemusicvideos.org. I downloaded some and saved them on a hard drive, all Yuugiou ones. Still one of my favorite AMVs on there, one about the Egypt Arc to E Nomine's Deine Welt.

Sorry I've gone poof, I realize it's been days and honestly I still don't feel like posting but...idk. Haven't been doing well lately, so I'm sorry. At least Morgey has come back to be entertaining. ^_^ Or maybe...me and Morgey just can't be here at the same time. Just kidding! xd
@Morgey - Yea I didn't like the arc originally because it was interrupting the story I was involved in, but in retrospect once I'm no longer "ARGH WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE MAIN PLOT?!?" I find I can appreciate it more. And it has some of my favorite scenes in it. Such as Yami and Seto jumping off a building, heh. Had a lot of bits that made me happy back when I was into prideshipping, and I'm still found of that pairing enough in a nostalgic sense to still like those scenes.
I'm the same way, I can read the secondary material and know just where it fails, where the argument isn't cohesive, or just isn't making a valid point. I can totally pick apart the style. But then constructing my own, better argument is no great talent. Right now I'm having such a hard time, trying to get through the end of classes, but thus I keep putting off meeting with my dissertation adviser. And there is only a week left before break, I've got to plan with him what I'm going to do for assessment, so that's fail. I just have no literary inspiration, and I feel like such a failure just sticking with the materiality for now. I feel like a failure in general. I mean my interests are all Medieval to Early Modern in English, heavily classical in general. I'm afraid that I'm probably going to be a s**t researcher anyhow, but even if I wasn't I feel as if I'm immersed in a dying form. I mean listening to people talk about grants and the sciences and engineering. All the money is in the sciences, and I get it, but I feel like it's killing the arts off. And I think people should care, but then maybe that's just how I feel because that's who I am, not because they should. I feel futile, useless and worthless. Which doesn't exactly have me any more inspired to get through these assessments, dissertation, etc. =/
Haha, yea one of my tutors last term put it as "break from seminar," which is pretty much all it is. There's no class, but there is still tons of independent work to do. Not much fun. I want a real break! I don't even get summer. ~_~ At least I'll be done come September, than I'm taking a year/year and a half break before PhD. In part because I wouldn't be able to put together a proposal worthy of funding at the moment, and without funding I can't afford to go directly into my PhD, either here or in the states. Which is too bad, because if I could start right away I'd at this point probably consider staying here for my PhD. But if I have to come home and go back, idk, that'd be expensive and probably too much for me to handle.
That video makes monkey Honda more creepy than I remembered. Crap why is the DDR thing at the end? Now Rhythm and Police is going to be stuck in my head all day. ~_~
Hmm...valid point, monkey heaven. xd
@Both - Darn, now I have to be a top chef too?! Yea I agree, I mean you can be critical without being able to reproduce stuff yourself. I just think someone should be that, critical and not just mean to be mean or lacking reason. I fully respect the difficulty of art, and of course wouldn't hold it against anyone for being unable to draw or paint or whatever, I know I'm pretty rather s**t at them. However that isn't going to make me favorite drawings that aren't to my interests or style tastes.
@Kits - Yea it was when I watched the video Morgey linked that I remembered they didn't even know Honda was the monkey. So it makes sense to me now. And I agree about the filler. I mean it's getting to be like Naruto, where there is more filler than main plot. The filler should not over balance. So yea ok, he wants to advertise cons, that's fine. And sometimes the specials or side bits are great. Other times though it's just really random and it makes me less likely to want to keep watching filler because I just wonder if it'll be worth my time.
Yea I thought the video was funny as well. But because I kinda forgot how the monkey thing went in the arc the end confused me, however it's alright now. I mean again I totally even forgot we were in the Noa Arc of the abridgment anyhow, it's been so long since we've had anything but FILLER!!!
@Morgey - Several musicians can't read music. Most drummers read a variant notation rather than traditional music, and a lot of guitarists learn chords and reproduce by ear. I can read music, I have to read music, my ear isn't good enough to not read music. It would take me forever to learn any song by ear, if I even could. But yea, music appreciation does not require the ability to read music or play a note. It requires the ability to hear. If you are deaf maybe don't pick on musicians. If you are blind you probably shouldn't pick on art. If you are illiterate you definitely shouldn't be criticizing literature. However if you aren't in those extremes I think you are fully qualified to make sound judgments in terms of artistic interests.
@Kits - Talking about the same thing over and over again but as I switch names is making me feel like a jerk picking on something. This is what I get for going poof for days. ~_~ But yea, unless skill is a requirement to making a judgment, which it rarely is, I think you are allowed to have tastes and opinions. It's what make the arts relevant in the first place.
I have resisted Friday SOOOOOOOOOOO much, omg, I still have no idea what it sounds like, I've just gotten lyrics from memes. Though I saw this yesterday and it made me rather lol:

Kits: I kind of miss those days. Working out what was going to happen instead of just having some website tell me. Lets burn down the Internet.
Sorry =[
I don't really know what those things are, but I googled E Nomine's Deine Welt and it sounds awesome. I can't imagine a life before Youtube. How did that happen!?
JK: You call that going poof? In my day we had to walk uphill in the snow to... I forgot what I was talking about. Should we tell Kitsune about the threatening PMs and violence we've been exchanging, or are we keeping up the charade a bit longer? THE GUILD IS ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY. =DDDD
It's weird. I can come up with loads of things other people writing about the subject have done wrong, but suddenly when it's coming up with my own ideas, they all know better than me and I just want to hide. Then again, my main argument is that a lot of the secondary material seems to be projecting twentieth century values onto twelfth century people, but I'm fairly sure I'm being just as guilty of the same, and then in trying to amend that, I'm going too far the other way instead of the more moderate approach that probably makes the most sense. Oh well, I guess I'm just being a Negative Nancy. The only thing that's made my supervisor go wtf is my writing, and he said that that's improved a lot since I last submitted something so it should be okay.
I'm sorry you feel like that. My first instinct is to blame the Tories, but maybe that's not fair. A brilliant idea is a really exciting thing, whether it's about how to make something work or something that gives insight into the human condition, and I don't think a society that says "We don't really need that second one" is a very good societyl. I'm not going to tell you not to feel discouraged but I hope you're not too much. That should really have started with "you know, I learned something today". -Hug-
I'm not going home until I've got a good draft of the dissertation and made a serious start on the presentations. Ugh.
I'm actually wishing monkey heaven was real now. It sounds fun.
I struggled with reading music at GCSE and flunked. Though I doubt people making a living being musicians are having to write in the correct notation by ear, so fair enough. My friend plays guitar, and he goes by chords, so yeah. In the interests of nosiness, what music thing do you do?
The celeb thing just made me feel sad. =[
The Fry and Laurie clip was hilarious. And the fact that I'm already tipsy has no bearing on that. =p

Can I help with the burning?!?
Yea I don't think I knew of a time before Youtube either, the Youtube is how I learned about the existence of the AMV. Atm too much headache to google or listen to things though, so I will take words on all awesomeness levels for now.
Shhhhhhhhhh, we can't tell her about the PMs, you can never tell the leader about the threats, they have to be kept in the blissful dark ya know? Haha, and I know it wasn't the worst poof, but it was a rather extended poof for myself. Usually the only time I poof that long is if there is absolutely nothing to respond to, which clearly wasn't the case this time. I mean in general my OCD doesn't particularly let me poof, but I've just been so not myself lately that clearly even that wasn't an issue.
I've done that as well, I mean heck with Victorian Modernity/Modernism alone I was looking at how nineteenth/twentieth century people are projecting their values onto earlier society, and actually I find it more in modernity (within literature) than the contemporary focus, so it almost seems redundant to say it. I mean if my contemporaries aren't quite harping I think they've figured it out on their own. Man this is so hard to write, I have had this killer headache for hours now. Really dizzy, and things are blurry, though the sick thing is I'm rather enjoying it. However it does make focus/concentration difficult (this is probably why I'm enjoying it). My big worry is I'm just not sure what level I should be at, or even what level I am at in comparison to my "contemporaries." lol But yea, I've been dry for ideas lately, and that's been frustrating. I keep looking at my email, just about to compose a message to my adviser, and realize what am I going to say? I can just ask for a meeting and leave it at that. And then what, go to this meeting in 2-3 days and hide under the table?! stressed
Hahaha, thanks Stan. I want to blame the Tories too...yet apparently America was founded with a Whig mentality, which ok that's fine, except I also want to blame America. Which thus means I'm blaming everybody. I also realize that while I'm primarily a Whig (in the sense that I'm primarily a democrat - even though these two things don't mesh exactly either), I do have a semblance of Tory values, in the way I have a semblance of Republican values. All and all though, this thought solved nothing. I just need to figure out exactly what I want. I mean if I was 100% sure that I wanted to stay in England I'd damn well figure it out. But that's the thing, I'm not sure, I'm afraid. I'm afraid to commit to an opinion. I still haven't booked my flight for July (America back to England)/December (England to America) yet, I keep procrastinating it. Because whatever I book, I'll know that December date is endgame. I'm not ready to commit to going home for good, so I can't decide when to go home at all. The finality to everything is overwhelming.
What if you don't have a good draft until Easter? Just kidding! You'll do great I know it! When is the final dissertation due for you? Mine is due "someday" in September. The range of possible dates that still exist at this stage astound me, but whatever. I'm just going to assume it's the first date, and build towards that. Btw, I'm sure you've told me, but I just can't remember. Where exactly is home (as in not Birmingham)?
I dunno how I feel about monkey heaven, I think there would be too much crap being flung around everywhere...and I mean that as metaphorically as I do literally. wink
Well, as I'm in Rocksoc and Metalsoc I should probably say I like Rock and Metal. As I'm in UMS I should also say I like classical, and could probably throw jazz and opera in there as well. To be honest though, I'm not the biggest jazz fan. Though my friend from Rock/Metalsoc does a programme Weds on Burn FM called Jazz in Your Face, and I try to catch that since it's his, and I like some of the stuff. Though last week he ended it with metal, heh. I do find I rather like metal, I've never not liked metal, I've just never been into metal. Metalsoc makes me wish that was different, makes me wish that was really different. I don't think I've ever really "been into" music in any sense before. I like classical, rock, alternative, folk, country, etc etc. Pretty much everything except rap and jazz (there are exception within those as well), and I've never been the biggest r&b, hip hop fan (though there are now getting to be several exceptions there as well). Pop I've had ok associations with, and I'm a closet Britney Spears fan, though I won't even lie and stay closeted. Her new stuff is not quite my cup o' tea (or joe), but I'll totally go rock out with my decade old Spears stuff at random moments from time to time. Anyhow off the tangent, in spite of liking a lot of everything (except some things), I've never been into things. I listen to what I like, but I don't know music, I don't know bands, I don't go to concerts. The few metal gigs I've gone to though, and the stuff I'm listening to within, REALLY make me want to KNOW metal. And if I stayed here, with my primarily MetalSoc friends, I'd get that opportunity. Back home I don't have metal friends, not any. I have people who like some metal, but that's about it. So, I feel I'd fall off my Metal wagon, and that upsets me almost as much as anything else I'd be leaving behind here.
That uninteresting spiel ended, how about you, particular music fancies?
Yea the celeb thing kinda made me sad too...which is why I felt it needed a funny after. That's probably my favorite Fry and Laurie clip, that was just awesome.
Yea, prank calls are good. Although Kedaaah kinda had an anti-climatic fall off. LK seems to be having some trouble with endings lately.

@JK: You're so hard on yourself. XD I poof way more often than you do, and Morgey does for way longer (though I still love her). You don't need to feel guilty about not posting for a while if you're not up to it.
Yeah, I love a lot of the Virtual World scenes too, like Shizuka actually dueling, and Jounouchi telling Yuugi to risk all their lives to save Kaiba and Mokuba.
Ugh, yeah, my Spring Break wasn't so much a break as a chance to catch up on homework. And a week after school started again and I'm already behind again.
Yeah, at the very least he should cut those 'snot him' types of videos.
Well, Friday, yes, it's bad. Like the singing's bad, the tune's corny, the lyrics are retarded. But it's not like an 'OMG I'm gonna kill myself experience' watching the video. It's more just like a, 'Huh. This really does suck' experience. No, watching it was fine. The worst part is that you just keep getting it stuck in your head after that. Like all the time. Just talking about it, it's already in my head again. And I've only listened to it once ever!
But yeah, I do agree with that graphic; people are being way too hard on her. She's just an eight grader, get over it. People are actually saying she should go in the electric chair and stuff; that just disgusts me.
OMG that video was absolutely amazing I do favorited it. XD I don't actually know who those guys are though...
@Morgey: Haha, yeah. I look back on all these amazing cheats I learned for Pokemon games (like the Missing No thing) and realize I didn't have the internet back then. I found that stuff out through good old fashioned communication and testing rumors. Today's generation are weak.
It's okay; I'll forgive you as long as you never again mention bananas in my presence again.
Haha, listened to a couple of the prank calls, though haven't had time for the rest yet. Amusing stuff, that is.
@JK: I'll just pretend I haven't heard anything about these mysterious PM threats.
Wow, the way you describe how you are with music sounds almost exactly like me. Only difference is Country also goes on my don't like list with Rap and Jazz, and I don't go to concerts at all. I am, however, also a closet Britney Spears fan. XD

All I can do lately is feel guilty it seems. =/
The one thing I liked better about quarter system schools in the US is that a break WAS a break. Because breaks only existed between terms. Spring break wasn't in the middle of the term it was between two terms, so even though it wasn't that long it was 100% a break. In England though there are no breaks anywhere, well not until summer (though at the postgraduate level not even then). Granted they have way less school (start in October, month off in December, month off in April and then just testing in May - beginning of June depending on where you are slotted, which means actual class ends in March). I think I'd rather have breaks that are really breaks and more school time.
Yea I'm sure it's not the worst thing in the world, but I definitely don't want it stuck in my head, and while I don't care about Rebecca Black I am most definitely not starting a hate campaign. That is just ridiculous, I mean geez she's thirteen!
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE?!? OMG!!! I mean how do you not even know Hugh Laurie, he's friggin House!! Even if you don't watch House you should know who he is. Stephen Fry I don't know as well myself, he's been in stuff but there is no predominant role I totally know him from save for his bit as the psychologist on Bones (back before Sweets became a main character). But not knowing Hugh Laurie? Man, criminal, hahaha. But yea, the video is wonderful, just wonderful. ^_^
Woo! Closet Britney Spears fans! Heh, up until I started going to shows here (and I haven't been to big gigs with big bands...don't know if I'll manage that while here, kinda expensive) I'd only ever been to two concerts. Keane with my best friend, I liked them and she loved them so I agreed to go since they were in Berkeley (where she lived, and only about 70 miles away from Davis, and on my way home to the Bay Area) and Green Day a year or so later when my friend got bailed on and gave me the extra ticket for free.
