Life, not the board game. ;)

Haven't been on AIM recently. Just have been busy recently. Let's see...

Monday, don't think I did anything. I believe that day was mostly normal.

Tuesday, Japanese class.

Wednesday, school, DV8, standerd stuff.

Thursday I helped at the Church rummage sale. I got up at 7:15(?) AM, got coffee at the La Cafe Bistro, arrived at Church around 8, and crashed after I went home around 1 or 2 PM.

Friday--today's day, in case you, the reader, had forgotten--got up even earlier than the day prior, around 5(?) AM and ended up crashing in the car about an hour and a half later. Oh, Dad, Josh, and I were going to pick up Tim. We're home now, all except Dad: The reason he was able to go is because he's going to work on "Diastor Recovery Work" or something. It's just practice, anyways.

Anyways, I'm just tired. Being in a car for a little over ten hours today is rather tiring, though it seems extremely ironic that one would get tired from doing nothing in a car. Nothing but sleeping, eating, drinking, (non-alcholic stuff, mind you) and reading the sixth Harry Potter book months after it came out.

I forgot how interesting the Harry Potter books were. I think it's because the spoilers were all over the 'net almost a mere week after the book came out. Would seeing countless shouts of [spoiler]Snape killed Dumbledore![/spoiler], before you even read the book, entice some people to read? The thought of, "Why read it when you already know what's going to happen?" is common with many people, I'm sure. But yet...

A simliar argument could be said with the Bible. "Why read it when you already know what's going to happen?" I guess, with both cases, one could say, "Knowledge is better understood when you've read it for yourself." It's one thing to watch a pastor preach about the death and ressurection of Jesus Christ or to watch people go on, and on, and on about who-did-what in the latest Potter book. It's better to read for yourself, experience the truth firsthand. Sometimes, truth could also be distorted. Like taking passages out of context, such as the infamous case of the Bible declaring itself that, "there is no God," when the verse, in context, said something rather different. Even in Harry Potter, I've read a case where someone had a sick enough mind to replace the word "wand" with "wang" in the Chamber of Secrets and then declare that J.K. Rowling must, in fact, be a "dirty, dirty woman."

Just some thoughts I'll end there, because they started getting weird...subjects. Uh, um...

LOOK! THE O RLY OWL!


Um, yeah! Go O RLYness!

Anyways. On more pleasant matters...

I'm thinking about getting a cartooning program and making an animated film for the DV8 film feastival. First, I'd like to check out what the Chapmen Brothers use, then, before I do anything, I'd like to write a script and see if anyone would be interested in a little VAing (Voice Acting).

I actually had Kevin S. in mind, playing a samurai type character. Because, for some reason, I found the idea to be simply hilarious.

My idea I had would be making fun of generic Japanese scenerios. Shinta Yamamoto is a cool and collected samurai, who, obviously, is quite strong. Shinta is, under strange and unusual circumstances, where he is living at some place in the mountains with some women.

I haven't quite figured out the personalities of these women, nor how many of them there are, but I figured I'd keep it to three or less.

One of the women, I'm sure, is completely obsessed with "her" "Yamamoto-sama."

Another, I thought could be a character named "Mary Sue." Mary Sue would be, well, a Mary Sue, basically an unbelievable character that generally has a wangsty tragic past, super powers, is drop-dead-gorgeous, may have royal connections, have an arch-enemy, and, finally, her only weakness is clumsiness. 'Cause, ya know, clumsiness actually comes in handy when it comes to falling unto your love interest! Of course, I plan on using all these features to make her overly-all obnoxious.

My last idea for one of the females would be the only female that did not care for Shinta. Maybe the house cook or something. *shrugs*

This post is getting rather lengthy, so I'm stopping now. I'm going to take a shower and then go immediately to bed. I have to meet with Susan! :D
