“…where weird is normal!”
So James kept talking about how the Lucky Star OVA was coming out, and when it did two days ago, pretty much everyone in the American anime community were screaming “WE WANT SUBS!!!” It was surprising that subs didn’t come out on the second day.

I’m feeling kind of bored today, and I just thought that I’d share with you guys the wallpapers I use on my computer.
-I actually had to photoshop this wallpaper. Before, the words FAERIE CONCLAVE were inscribed in bold black font in the middle of the picture. And the girl on the left was smoking a cigarette (which is something she shouldn’t be able to do while playing violin anyways).
I zipped 23 wallpapers into one ZIP file. Feel free to download.

One of my favorite anime.
Here comes a time of anime and manga deprivation, in which I look back at what I missed last fall. Bad spring season this year…
Well, that isn’t to say that Sketchbook ~full color’S~ is anywhere short of being a wonderful title. It is true that the show would not appeal to, say, action or romance genre fans; Sketchbook has a uniqueness to itself. The story does not involve crazy magical girls/guys or a plethora of demons threatening mankind or some schoolgirl who has a crush on an upperclassman; rather, it is simply about daily life.
Haha…the best thirty seconds of Weiqi (Go) ever…

It took me about an hour to make this. (Cuz that was my first time with the video editing software!)
Awesome. Guess which guy in the video is me (or if I I’m even one of them).
When I went to sign up for clubs, I really had no idea of which one(s) I wanted to join. So the end result was that I joined lots of clubs. I’ll describe some of them.
Chinese Chess Club
Wait. There’s a Chinese chess? Of course there is. This (really) old game is basically similar to Western chess, with pieces moving and capturing like rooks and knights, with several exceptions; the king can’t move out of the 3×3 square, the cannon (yea, there’s a cannon) captures by jumping over one piece, the horse (knight) can’t move if it’s blocked in front, blah blah blah. Not that I’ve never played Chinese chess before, but I think I’m sort of bad at it. xD
Go Club
Oh mannn, another strategy board game; I don’t feel like writing about go, so why don’t you just head over to Wikipedia? Oh, and I’m pretty good at this game. 
Impromptu
This club is basically a music club that plays at all sorts of places (to raise money, I guess). Maybe this will be fun.
Yes, when you’ve got the templars moving out and the reavers into the shuttles, you know that your zealot bombs can counteract the siege tanks and let your templars finish off the marines. Then the dreaded occurs: you need more pylons. You try to warp them in as fast as you can, but the terrans are already striking back. You just wished you could sit back.
The first days of school really aren’t that easy. With all the instructors giving the forms to sign and donation requests (more like forcing us to donate), there’s a whole lot of organizing to do. I have to make sure my mother knows what she’s doing when she signs the forms, and I had to sort out tabs for my three different binders, two of them for individual subjects. I’m finally done.
Time to enjoy the weekend. Oh, and I can’t wait for Starcraft II.
Audition Online's logo
So. Rachel got me to play this game not too long ago. Audition Online, also known as Dancin’ Paradise (ダンシングパラダイス or simply ダンパラ), is a casual beat-based rhythm game produced by T3 Entertainment and marketed by Nexon Corp. in North America.
What’s this one all about, you say? It’s just one of those arrow-thingy games, except that you must hit the right given sequence of arrows every four beats (or simply one bar) in a song and hit the spacebar at every first beat. Boring? Not really. Add the fact that the number of arrows you need to input can go up from 1-12+ (insane), is really gets pretty interesting. And tiring.
Probably More Than You Want to Know About Your Greatest Student
One of the most important reasons for living here in America is, indubitably, to be educated in the English language. (Back in Taiwan, the English classes do teach basic English grammar, but they seriously lack opportunities for the writing and speaking aspects of the language.) The easiest and most effective way to fulfill this wish is without doubt to be presented with an English environment with a professional English teacher where English is the primary language. The problem, then, was choosing whether to take Honors English classes or normal classes. My father obviously wanted me to enroll in the Honors level, and I also believe that this is best. For me, learning something on an advanced level is much better than a lower level because I am able to digest information rapidly so that harder work will not be a problem. I hope that I will benefit greatly from this class this school year!
Well, aren’t you amazed at how incredible I am? Of course you are. (Are you one of those English instructors who despise the word “you” and its related kin? I’m using it because you are my audience, so this is correct, I’m sure?) Anyways, I have read that you would like to be informed of any concerns, “in general, for Freshmen year.” I am worried about finding my way around this high school, although it is a relatively small school. Just today, I had trouble finding the
OK, so now it’s time to reveal some info about myself. High school starts tomorrow, and when I mean that, it means that I’m going to be a freshman. Great. Many people say that high school is supposedly fun.
Except for one thing. My school is really nerdy and overwhelmingly Asian. White people (not being racist) are a very small minority. I don’t really know the exact numbers, but it’s like this:
Caucasian: 3%
African-American: 3%
Mexican: 3%
Half-Asian: 11%
Asian: 80%
Yeah, its crazy. Also, the expectations of the school and, therefore, results are also incredibly high. Drop-out rate is really low, and almost everyone gets to college. So yeah.
Clubs seem to be a plus (as long as the presidents and people don’t be lazy -_-)
Do/Did you like high school?
