Royal Wedding finale is best finale. Seriously, I was wowed throughout the episode. The songs were okay, but the plot was very interesting. Celestia actually fought someone! And Cadance is adorable. Also, Jaller is best Captain of the Guard, be he pony or Matoran.
Recently I acquired an account on the lovely secondhand LEGO store known as BrickLink. This has been wonderful for my inner child and slightly stressful for my pocketbook, as I have slowly been buying sets from my childhood that I saw in LEGO catalogs but was unfortunate never to get. Of those nostalgic sets, I acquired the Night Lord's Castle and Alien Avenger of the Fright Knights and UFO themes, respectfully. Night Lord's Castle: Awesome. It's pretty much everything a creepy castle run
I've come back from a day of working hard at various events. And it was all worth while. NEXT STOP, NERDFEST 2007 STATE COMPETITION!!!
I apologize for the extreme, jovial yelling in ALL CAPS, but I'm thrilled! I got bronze in Entomology and gold in Chemistry Lab.
Unfortunately, during the awards ceremony, when I won the gold for chemistry, I yelled at the top of my lungs "YES!!" There was no other background noise, and everyone's eyes were on me. XD But, I was thrilled; it was my firs
The other day I decided to look at my comics from start to finish to remind myself of where I started and how far I've come to get to the comics I have today, and I have determined the following. I sucked in the beginning. I mean, I was awful! Did I really actually think some of those comics were post-worthy? Holy Mukau! Seriously, go over to my topic and read the first couple comics. Then, cry in a corner. For several hours. That's what I did. In unrelated news, I've been toying with the
Due to the combination of the servers being taken offline and me being in school, it's been a while since my last entry. I managed to find most of my entries from Google's cache (Aug 26 - now), so they've been posted as though I had posted them on their original entry days, but the comments have disappeared into the aether. On a more jubilant note, I've been playing Pokémon Y and Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies recently (this is in no way like Tekulo's recent entry). I'm on the first part of case
Yep, that's right. I'm angry. Why, you ask? Well, it has to do with my most recently released comic, Comic 99.
See, last Saturday was the first Science Olympiad Invitational competition for 2007. I was all ready to take on the Entomology (insects) test and take home the gold. My partner and I did, what we thought was, very well. We didn't know a few questions, but we had confidence in most of them. We had to have placed in the top 6th — we placed 15th!
I was in shock, awe, and anger
...is a musical genius. For those who don't know him by name, he wrote almost all the songs featured on Animaniacs, e.g. Yakko's Universe, the Nations of the World, the 50 states and their capitols. The live show with him on Talkin' Toons is amazing.
Blah. I never update this thing, do I?
Well, a week and two days ago was Nerdfest 2007 state competition. And once again, Atako Toa of Life and Akano Toa of Electricity are ranked as state champions of entomology! Woot woot!
Also, the middle school team qualified to go to Nationals this year, and I have been invited due to my hard work in helping these students on their way to the top. I hope it'll be fun.
I'm still trying to get the 100th comic finished up. Some of the jokes and ga
My gradumacation party was on Sunday, and I had a blast. There's truly nothing better than having your friends celebrate with you, no matter what the occasion.
And I almost ended up in the ditch outside my house twice. 8D
That seems to be my only problem. That and a couple left turns.
Over the past couple of months I visited and interviewed at a college interested in hiring someone to teach one semester of courses for their physics major series. My name was given to them through the grapevine and, after giving a mock lecture, presenting my research over lunch, and meeting with the department, I got the job. Starting later next month, I will officially be Professor Akano. I'm excited.
Just started playing this with my roommate (Friend: Toa of Friendship). I love it so much. The single-player campaign was awesome, and now we're doing the extra "future" co-op levels. I love ATLAS' design. I wish he and P-body had opposite eye color. Also, the free DLC is called Peer Review. This speaks to me as a scientist. Cave Johnson is the best. I could listen to him talk forever about ignoring human rights in the name of advancing science.
These villains are getting less and less backstory development as we go, huh? In terms of development: Sombra < Chrysalis < Discord / Nightmare Moon That said, though, I enjoyed the episode quite a bit. The songs were okay, but I've only listened to them once, really. However, it was nice for Spike to get a role as Twilight's supporting vocals. Cathy Weseluck amazes me. I did think Rainbow Dash was a bit over the top, but I enjoyed everyone else. También, sombra = shadow en
So, I've been doing various things in the world of Pokémon recently. I obtained a Squirtle on Wonder Trade (that was awesome), a Froakie from Spain, various forms of Vivillon, a Riolu from Japan (リオル), and a Rotom (8D) from Japan (ロトム). I'm hoping to try the Masuda method to get a shiny Riolu, because shiny Lucario is awesome (and yellow). Also, I caught a shiny Ditto in Pokémon Village. Luckiest chain ever (I definitely did not get a chain of 40...).
While I technically beat the Elite Four on Tuesday, I thought I'd share my team here. Anubis (Lucario) Tornadus-T Vanessa (Emboar) Zoroark Tesla (Magnezone) Golduck - HM slave I couldn't nickname Zoroark due to it being N's originally, and Tornadus I just never got around to nicknaming after I got him from Dream Radar. This was actually the first time I've ever raised any of these Pokémon for a team, so it was a very different game experience this time around. I wish Lucario were ju
You look really cool, and I'm sure I'd enjoy your features and such, but you're $15. For a Pokédex. If you had 3D battling capabilities/games that would work in tandem with BW/B2W2, I'd probably get you, but you don't. Sorry.
In no particular order, some fun physics jokes. Ready? GO! My friend was trying to talk to me about atoms, but I got Bohr'd. Did you hear that Albert Einstein developed a theory about space? It was about time, too. Never trust an atom; they make up everything. The oddly pleasant feeling of looking down on a physicist as they finish the last of their drink. The strange charm of a top-down bottoms-up. Why does hamburger have less energy than steak? It's in the ground state. Why are physics bo
As the fates would have it, the day after my birthday I hopped on a plane and went to a physics conference. I'm now sitting here in my lovely hotel room waiting for today's poster session at which I am presenting a poster on my research thus far. It involves stuff from my first published paper and some current "in the works" calculations that I'm doing to help our analysis along. The talks up to this point have completely left me in the dust, so I'm hoping there will be discussion during the p
Sorry I haven't posted an entry here for more than a month. My life recently has been quite busy. For instance, a week ago I had to perform for my school's spring musical. It consumed much of my time, usually practice and performances went until 10-11 pm. @@;
Anywho, with that out of the way, I'm hoping to work on my 100th comic (no, it isn't done yet. ><. I hope to have it done possibly by next weekend, since my spring break is coming up. Also, Nerdfest 2007 State competition is c
I made a Post-It note dodecahedron: It was fun. 8D For the record: each face is made up of five Post-It notes, each a different color, so that, per face, no color is repeated.
It's been a good run, state of the north. I have to say, Anchorage itself may not be a good-looking city (in my eyes, no city really is), but the fact that there are mountains literally surrounding it is awesome. Best horizon ever. Of all time.
Nearly two weeks ago, my brothers, parents, roommate (whom Tekulo has taken to call Friend: Toa of Friendship, so I will refer to him as such), and two family friends took a relaxing trip down to Hilton Head Island, SC. Our first day in the condo wasn't terribly eventful; we all went to the beach and enjoyed the sun and sea. Tekulo built a rockin' sand castle, with a moat, staircases, and other hidden gems, and our dad got pooed on by a crow/raven/corvid. Twice. Also, KK decided to take advantag
