I would link a video, but Firefox has decided to be a dick.

Apparently, video = crash. WTF?

Really enjoying anime is incomprehensible to me. A lot of the things he's complaining about aren't exclusive to Japan, though. He's ascribing some great significance to people speaking in catch phrases in Japanese, but that's what people everywhere do. And I'm pretty sure that everybody with a real job is pretty much obligated to go to the office parties even in the US, they just don't get piss drunk.


Yeah but from what I've heard his stuff about the corporate lifestyle in Japan is not far off. It sounds insane.

"You'll have fun... *stern face* ...this is a FUN team-building time to have FUN and strengthen the company for FUN...*fake grin* *stern face*

Maybe it's not the corporate reality, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't even do the corporate thing in America, let alone in a country where I have to fake politeness not just to customers but to goddamn everybody.

I swear to God that whole things sounds like I would be the only sane person in a sea of crazies. I'd probably end up killing myself over that sh*t, the neon glar, pop music, and cigarette smoking alone. I smoke sometimes but damn. And we have tons of Asians at Purdue and a significantly higher percentage of them smoke than everyone else, except maybe Indians.

They also love Americanos. No f**king clue why.

Force Unleashed was an excellent rental, but I'm not sure if it's worth a full $20. The sequel could definately be something amazing, although successfully building on a franchise can be hard. I can only hope that they don't replace the worst game I have ever played (the Star Destroyer sequence) with something that's just not quite as terrible.

The Star Destroyer part took me 4-5 tries the first time, and that was the only difficult part of the game. Although I do agree that unless you're a really big Star Wars fan (like me), you should probably just rent TFU.
It took me way longer than that. I must have wasted a good 20-30 minutes on that sh*t. By the end I was cursing at the TV (at 2am...).

It's all about learning to Force Grip the TIE Fighters and throwing them into the other TIE Fighters fast enough. Except you have to be really fast about it if you want to finish that scene in less than 15 minutes. Dead

Remember earlier, when I decided not to watch Generation Kill so I could go to bed earlier? That was because if I watched it it would be 1am and I have to get up tommorow. It is now 1am! YAY!

But before I go, I have to let you guys know: THE FUTURE!? I hope so!

Do it, and don't just focus on what you need for school. No one enjoys reading like that, I think that is why so many people hate reading. My senior seminar teacher was pretty good though, we read a chapter or so and then discussed it and brought out the points that we thought were important, it wasn't about the teacher's agenda.

Lord of the Flies is classic man. Read it, if not now then sometime when you actually want to enjoy, (and not just pick whatever sh*t you need for school)

Why didn't you read it? If you didn't finish, how far did you get?

About 70 pages left, but I need to do an essay plan so I can make 100 words of notes so I can actually write a 2000 word essay within 1h45m. I might just read it, but Sparknotes also analyses it for me.

The ending is good. I would read it. Thumbs Up
