I finally saw it. There were only three parts I didn't like: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Mata Nui's "together...as one mind" line. Totally out of place.Tuma and his battle with Mata Nui. They got Tuma's character all wrong.There was a third to put here last night, but it ran away in Spanish class this morning.

Instant Messenge Conversation Concerning Bandersnatches
Carakki posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_1411
Note: Queen's screen name was replaced with her alias, but mine is indeed Abstract Reader. Queen is idle (9:22:48 AM) Abstract Reader (9:22:48 AM): Good morning. Queen is available (9:30:11 AM) Queen (9:30:18 AM): morning Queen (9:30:25 AM): i'm watching Batman Queen (9:30:28 AM): and doing math Queen (9:30:29 AM): rofl Abstract Reader (9:30:58 AM): I'm contemplating the usefulness of an extendable neck as a natural tool. Abstract Reader (9:31:05 AM): And waiting for my mom to get ready. Queen (9:31:08 AM): xD Abstract Reader (9:31:22 AM): Really, think about it. Queen (9:31:32 AM): it'd be odd Abstract Reader (9:31:38 AM): Is an extendable neck really a feasible natural tool? Queen (9:31:43 AM): no. Abstract Reader (9:31:52 AM): Why not? Abstract Reader (9:31:57 AM): Just give me your ideas. Queen (9:32:10 AM): because Queen (9:32:13 AM): of Queen (9:32:16 AM): like swallowing Abstract Reader (9:32:27 AM): Hm. Abstract Reader (9:32:35 AM): I never thought of that. Abstract Reader (9:33:17 AM): But let's say, for the sake of the discussion, that a creature would only use the neck to extend the range of their teeth. Abstract Reader (9:33:30 AM): Swallowing would come later, once the prey was dead. Queen (9:33:35 AM): like a giraffe Abstract Reader (9:33:42 AM): ? Queen (9:33:47 AM): they have long necks Queen (9:33:53 AM): so they can eat stuff high in the air Abstract Reader (9:34:19 AM): The creature I'm thinking of would be a reptilian carnivore. Queen (9:34:40 AM): ahhh Queen (9:34:45 AM): potentially Abstract Reader (9:35:03 AM): My question is this: Abstract Reader (9:35:13 AM): What's more efficient, extending your neck to bite prey, or leaping over to it and bringing your teeth and claws to bear? Queen (9:35:25 AM): leaping over it Abstract Reader (9:35:55 AM): Well, on one hand, the neck option could increase your stealth. Abstract Reader (9:36:45 AM): Let's say the animal was the type to hide in wait. Queen (9:37:02 AM): then yes an extendable neck Abstract Reader (9:37:02 AM): How far wpi;d the neck have to extend to be useful? Abstract Reader (9:37:09 AM): *would Queen (9:37:12 AM): like Queen (9:37:16 AM): though snakes in a can Queen (9:37:25 AM): compressed into like a neck frill Abstract Reader (9:37:43 AM): There's an idea. Abstract Reader (9:39:21 AM): That's sort of what I'm thinking of. Abstract Reader (9:39:41 AM): How far could said snakes extend their compressed necks? Abstract Reader (9:39:50 AM): Half of their original body length? Abstract Reader (9:39:52 AM): Less? Abstract Reader (9:39:54 AM): More? Queen (9:41:17 AM): around Queen (9:41:19 AM): that Abstract Reader (9:41:26 AM): Half? Queen (9:41:32 AM): ya Abstract Reader (9:41:56 AM): That falls in line with what I've got over here. Abstract Reader (9:42:46 AM): The faster the creature could extend its neck, the more effective it would be. Abstract Reader (9:43:08 AM): Well, thanks for your input. Queen (9:43:22 AM): you're welcome Abstract Reader (9:43:24 AM): My mom should be ready any minute now, so I have to get off. Abstract Reader (9:43:28 AM): Bye. Queen (9:43:39 AM): bye -
It's awesome. Hurrah for elemental powers! The duel between Kiina and Ackcar, with the wall of steam moving between them, was really cool, but I like how they portrayed Gresh's air powers too.

In the excitement of the forums' return, I completely forgot to update my blog on the laptop thing. I brought it up with my mom last night, and she approved! In addition, she also set a deadline: I WOULD have a laptop this year before Christmas day. So I can look forward to my own brand-new shiny laptop soon! Other events today include only a potential visit to my grandmother to steal her bike. Open house is tomorrow, and Ding still hasn't R.S.V.P.ed for our potential get-together beforehand. That's all for now.

Woo! Just one week until school starts. My open house is on Thursday (8/20) from 2:15-4:45. I'm trying to get Ding over beforehand so we can work on our summer assignments, then walk over to the school together. In other news, my mom is reconsidering getting me the G1. Her main reason is the price. The primary reason I want the phone is that it offers Internet access almost anywhere. However, that is the largest addition to the price tag. Adding my phone service, plus the upgrades she needs to make to her own plan, would send the bill through the roof. At one point she suggested switching each month - one month her phone would have Internet and mine text-messaging, the vice-versa the next month. I said of that were the case, then we may as well just drop the phone idea and focus our resources on getting me a laptop. Since mentioning that, I've given the idea some thought, and I'm thinking that it would be the best course of action. While expensive, a laptop is a one-time expense; a phone bill is a monthly ding in the paycheck. So over the past few days, I've been looking at reasonably priced laptops and discovered a category of laptops called 'budget laptops,' meant for high-school or college students on a budget. That fits me just fine. The one I like most right now is the Dell Inspiron, which offers everything I need and has a price tag my mom won't entirely object to. Speaking of the price tag, I've decided to throw the $100 I saved for the G1 into the laptop effort. So, if we consider a $450 laptop, it suddenly becomes a $350 laptop with my assistance. Wow. This entry is much longer than I anticipated. I'm going to end it here. My next entry, unless something of note happens between now and then, will probably be on the day of open house.

Ugh. I really, really don't like television. It's great, occasionally, but I don't know how people plant themselves in front of their plasma TV and just stay there until the cows come home. It burns to even watch people do that. Mostly, I'm thinking of the co. and their ability to spend inordinate amounts of time watching television. My dad has two large televisions: One in his bedroom, and the other in his living room. That means that no matter where in the house I go (the apartment only has the two rooms) I hear and see the television blaring at me. That's all for now.

You probably already know that my mom has the T-Mobile G1. The G1 possesses a voice dialing feature - you can speak a contact's name into the phone's microphone and it will call the contact. I decided to use it the other day to call my friend Ding [an alias chosen by my friend for security purposes]. So I activated the voice dialing feature and said to the phone, "Call Ding Chavez." Nothing happened. Thinking it just hadn't registered my words, I repeated myself: "Call Ding Chavez." Again, nothing. Wondering if I wasn't being specific enough, I tried again: "Call Ding Chavez on mobile," a command used to call a contact on a specific number. Once more, no response. It crossed my mind that my mom may not have Ding in her contacts, so I told the phone to dial his number, and for a fourth time, the phone did nothing. Now frustrated, I told the phone, "Ignore me." The phone beeped twice and closed its voice dialer. That thing has an attitude.

Right. So, my mom approved my $100. However, as much as I would like to say that I am writing this entry from my new smartphone, I'm still using my mother's. She has decided to wait at least a month before adding me to or changing her plan. That's three weeks from now. Apparently. When she told me that she would add me when I could afford the phone, she didn't think I would get it so quickly. Hopefully, as she didn't seem 100% sure, the one-month wait plan can be brought down to about a week. Wish me luck.

Remember how I needed $25 more for the G1? I got it. This week has been very busy what with Orlando and such, and so I was the only person to remember this week's $20 contest. Being the only person with an entry, I took the $20 prize. The last $5 was gained by trading a $5 movie theater gift card to my mom. The only thing left is to go get the phone. In other news, I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen this evening, and I must say, it tops the first one by a mile. I have to go to bed now, but I'll say more tomorrow, along with an update on the G1.
