    Any time someone fins a way to use both "vilify" and "vitrify" in a game's dialog, the game instantly deserves respect.
     
    On a side note, I'm finally getting the orange box, so I'm fairly excited to get to play more stuff by Valve.

    Yesterday was the last day of my math class at the community college, and the teacher decided to give out the final grades while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas (original) on a probably illegal video site.
     
    Unfortunately, the fact that it was a probably illegal video site meant that there were no quality requirements. In other words, the movie cut off right when the Grinch had taken all of the presents. Such an inopportune time for a cutoff.
     
    Sadly, neither I nor the rest of the class was able to see the ending. All of us are driven mad wondering if the Grinch was stopped.

    I just thought it would be interesting to say that I have a partial collection of the elements of the periodic table. At this point, I have about 30.
     
    I'll post a picture of my collection here after Christmas.
     
    Does anyone else here do something like this?

    Those trans-purple bones on Onua and Earth Protector are absolutely wonderful. I'm already making plans to use them on a Toa of Xenon once the sets are released.
     
    Edit: I in no way mean to imply that I have any of them, as I do not. I'm just excited that they're finally being made.

    I just reread the essay I wrote for last May's SAT. I decided at an early stage that I was going to use fake examples. One of them was about Tom Sanders, a fictional janitor who was able to greatly improve his work ability after being encouraged. The rather amusing part is that it actually worked; my score didn't seem hurt at all by the obviously fake examples.
     
    (Also, I just realized how awful my handwriting was. I'm surprised they were even able to read it.)

    Hedorah, also known as The Smog Monster, is a kaiju, best known for fighting Godzilla in the 1971 Japanese film Godzilla Vs. Hedorah. Formed from pollution, Hedorah is also capable of feeding on pollution. He is considered one of Godzilla's most formidable enemies. He is seen in the background of the picture below:

    2: Smooth jazz, is a kind of music that evolved in the late 20th century. Is is characterized by a general predictability, a smoothness and mellowness not found in normal jazz. Many argue that it should not be called "jazz" at all, as true jazz contains elaborate rhythms and harmonic structure not found in it's "smooth" counterpart. Some hate it with a passion, and others call it "elevator music". Smooth jazz has largely fallen out of favor in commercial radio stations. Despite this, smooth jazz is loved by many.
    It's also just a pretty cool type of music, hence why my username is based on it.
    Well-known smooth jazz artists include Kenny G, Dave Koz, and many others.
