Well, English and the first part of Chemistry Finals are done. English was so amazingly easy -- first time I got done a 140-question exam in 17 minutes. Chem was for the most part easy.
Now, tomorrow are my two toughest: Algebra and the rest of Chem (which is like 155-200 questions). If I can live through them I'm good, since Cooking should be a breeze.
And thus, today was the last full day of school (tomorrow through Wed. are half days). No more Lunch, Gym, Art *sob*, English, or History.
Yep -- tomorrow officially starts the Finals. I'll have my English Final second period, and then the first ten questions of my Chemistry Final fourth period. Friday is my Algebra Final and the rest of Chem. Then I'm off Monday and Tuesday, then Wendseday is my Cooking Final, and I'm done!
Gah, I just want to get these things over with...
For those of you that like mysteries and twists, you'll be happy to know that there's a big one in ED. Can't recall if there's anything about it in WMaH, but you see that picture over there on the left?
That's your first clue. Bwahaha. Ha.
And just because I like to see what other people think: What song do you think fits the Brotherhood of Makuta as a whole? Or our Makuta?
Possibly one of Guns N' Roses best songs ever. Slash is freaking amazing on the guitar.
Also, I'd just like to say that I think Michael Emerson (Ben in LOST, Zepp in Saw) would do a perfect voice for Takadox.
Don't forget to head on down and read and review *cough* chapter one of ED Part II! *coughpleasecough*
Just got back from seeing Pirates 3 for the second time. Still awesome. And I got to see the scene after the credits. Not quite as earth-shattering as I had expected, but it does leave one big question: Despite what everyone said, will there indeed be a Pirates 4? I still kinda doubt it, but I'm not so positive anymore...
And don't forget to read the long-awaited first chapter of Part II of ED! Reviews are appreciated, as always -- it's the best way for me to improve my writing!
Yup, next week end I have four days off. See, the last four days of school are the days we take our Finals. They break up the eight periods of classes for two Finals a day:
Friday, June 8 -- 3rd and 4th period Finals
Monday, June 11 -- 5th and 6th
Tuesday, June 12 -- 7th and 8th
Wednesday, June 13 -- 1st and 2nd (also the last day of school)
Now I have no idea why first and second are last, but whatever. But if we don't have a Final for a period, we don't have to go. So, if you have a F
So, we went on over to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the first time since I was, oh... four? I'm seventeen now. Needless to say, it's been a while.
But from Februrary through September, they've had a special exhibit (the Franklin Institute is kind of a "touch everything" museum): Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs.
It was so awesome. Now, I've always loved ancient Egyptian stuff, but hadn't really been involved with it for years. This renewed my inte
Yup, just got Bionicle Legends#7. And read it.
It's... interesting, to say the least. It was okay. I dunno, it just didn't feel like Bionicle (and this is the only book out of all of them that I felt this way). I'd recommend it if you want to keep up with the story, like me. Makuta had the best parts by far, especially his introduction.
Couple little beefs: Hydraxon's coming back was awfully disappointing. Not what I expected, but also not the best way to pull it off. The Nocturn-Hydraxon
No, this is no one I know personally. She's in Sweden. I am not.
But who is this, you ask? Why, it is Nightwish's new lead singer! They have a sample of her singing one of their new songs on their new single, "Eva". She sounds great. REALLY great. However, one large difference -- unlike Tarja, she's not trained in and thus does not sing classical/opera. Going to be VERY different-sounding. But with Tuomas's great lyrics, the band will still live strong, I think.
So, yeah. That's it.
I decided not to send the distress transmission in DOOM 3, simply because I think I saw the ending when the transmission is sent, and I wanna see what happens this time.
Two more weeks of school! Gah, it's going to be the slowest two weeks of my life. Maybe I can play DOOM 3 and Halo and other stuff nonstop -- that'll make it go quicker, right?
Well, if not, I've got plenty other things to keep me entertained -- LOST season finale is tonight, and tomorrow/Friday is Pirats 3 (WOO!!), and Pr
Okay, I gots a problem in DOOM 3. I have the chance to send out a signal to Earth and call reinforcements (I'm on Mars), but only one signal. Now, if I send it out, I risk the chance of demons using the ship to return to Earth and take it over, dooming all mankind.
But if I DON'T send the signal, I'll have to take on whatever the demonic forces throw at me alone. And even if I do manage to pull that off and stop them from coming through, I'll have like no chance of ever getting off of Mars. I
No lie -- Blizzard unveiled StarCraft II. I have the cinematic trailer in HD, but it unfortunately has a curse in it, so I can't show you guys. But I've also seen plenty of gameplay footage.
+2 self-esteem!
Sorry for not getting ED part 2 up yesterday -- it seemed there was more going on than I originally thought. And today was both my dad's AND my uncle's birthdays, so I barely had time to do anything today.
With Finals coming up, it's gonna be hard to squeeze writing in. Speaking of which, this school year went by immensely fast. Not complaining, but still...
But I'll try as best I can to get that epic up ASAP. Sorry again!
Yeah, hopefully I'll get part 2 of ED up tomorrow. I'd do it tonight, but I had a long day and don't feel like staying up late after playing DOOM 3. I've played that game once before, but it was so long ago and I don't remember 90% of the stuff. So I'm getting freaked out all over again.
Nightwish released the cover of their new single, "Eva". Looks awesome.
So does Transformers, actually. I was a little iffy at first, but the new trailer does it some serious justice (I hope).
Yanno,
My favorite -- masters in the art of terror. Fear is their most powerful weapon, and they use it well. Their armor often has decorations portraying fear and death. One of my favorite characters of any form of media of all time was a Night Lord: Night Lords Commander and Talonmaster Zso Sahaal. They're legion badge is awesome, too (see photo; fanged/horned skull with bat wings).
I know, I'm being hypocritical, but is Lesovikk really that bad? The Mahri suck, yes. But can we really say that he's too much like them when all that's visible is his head, arms and legs? All Toa have had limbs like Lesovikk's since the Toa Metru. With the tiniest bit of torso visible, I don't think it's fair if we start accusing LEGO of making him a different-colored Mahri.
And why must this be a ripoff of the Ussanui? LEGO knows how positive people reacted to the Ussanui -- making somethin
Because, after much glitching and freezing (early on) and general screwing up on my part, I have at last beaten the main Blades quest and killed Dagoth Ur and removed the Blight from Vvardenfell in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind!
But I am far from done with this game...
