I think I did pretty good on my ethics test.

Better then my last one even.

Not that I did great on my last one or anything, but I actually went to the classes for this one… I didn’t go to a single class in the last unit we tested on… haha 😉

Stupid ethics.

Who needs ’em?

For anyone wondering about that Final Fantasy challenge… 😉

I didn’t play it at all yesterday or the day before… nor did I ever have an urge to really…

Guess maybe I’m not addicted after all.

I am feeling rather sick though.

Oh well.

I guess I have to go take a test in a bit anyway.

*goes back to studying*

going to watch Revolutions on the imax…..

it will be awesome.

i don’t care what any of you say.

The Matrix challenge:

Elliot (zeronitro for those who don’t know) wrote a pretty good post on this topic. you should go read it.

On to the challenge.

I have heard MANY people comment on how they didn’t like Reloaded and/or Revolutions. For the sake of shortness and simplicity though, we will concentrate soley on Revolutions. Now, as I said, LOTS of people i have heard say they don’t like it, or that it is “ok”. what i haven’t heard, are speciffic reasons as to why. People say things like… “there was too much talking” or, it was too slow.. however… i want speciffic examples here. what did you feel was too slow? where was there too much talking? and remember with me, if you will, that the original movie had a good bit of talking, and it’s share of slower parts, but you like it. So for these arguments to be valid, you have to demonstrate that it suffers from these flaws to a greater extent then the original. I simply desire to understand how someone can see the same movie i did and NOT think that it was great.

On another note…

[EDIT: oh yeah, also, I will point out reasons why I thought it was good later.]

The Final Fantasy 11 challenge:

Can I not play it with almost all my free time tomorrow? hmmm… (but hey, I’m a level 14 red mage…. that counts for something important in life… right?… no?… ah… crap.)

I do think it’s funny that the welcome message to the game says that they have no desire to you your real life suffer from you playing… and to not forget about your work, family and friends 😉

It’s a fun game.. but.. don’t get addicted to Final Fantasy 11, kids. just remember that getting that one last level isn’t really as important as you might think it is. 😉

“I’m just a stranger here, despite your everything
I’m not attached to your world of disease
Like father always said and I can only agree
Son they will hate you because they always hated me
and even though I feel alone
I know that I could never be.

Nobody knows.
Nobody cares.
Nobody sees outside our safe haven.

If it’s a choice between this veil of ecstasy
And all the lonely suffering of seeing this so clearly
If I’ve said it once I will say it for all eternity
I’ll find all the comfort that I need inside this bleeding
And even though I feel alone
You know that I could never be.

Together we are so, so ugly with rejection
But to our, our eyes we, we’re the ones shimmering
I’ve unpluegged the wires from your spine
At first you’ll be afraid
But we’ll be alone and so content
And we
will live…
again

Alone and so content
And we will live again

Just crawl across the desert heat
And become tragic with me
And now that we are not alone
You know that we could never be

Alone and so content
And we will live again.”

-“Safe Haven,” by Project 86

I got the new Project 86 cd… Songs To Burn Your Bridges By.

I have only listened to it once…

But I like it…

so uhhh.. let’s see… I think I’m going to go play Final Fantasy a little more… complete my mission before I have to go to work tonight.

But first… uhh… lyrics:

“A double minded one
Gazing into two reflections
Who cannot recognize
The vessel or the messenger

Obedience gone and somewhere
Left in the distance
New wilderness
Outstretched hand, broken wrist
Just a little taste of everything you would miss
Could you turn your back on this

From somewhere far away:
(It’s mine to avenge, I will repay)
A distant voice from some familiar place
(Drive it home in me, pull it out from me)
“Let go the anchor
Let go the deadweight…
(I will repay, I will avenge)
And I’ll set aright what’s in remiss”

Fight fight
For our tomorrow
fall
to stand
surrender
to follow

It’s all
All we’ll ever have
It’s all
All we’ll ever need

Will I
find home in
This beautiful oblivion?
No meaning
No solace
No comfort
No justice
These thoughts I’ve held in failure
My paper champion, false savior

“You think the answer lies within
When your heart betrays you?””

-“Oblivion,” by Project 86

So I saw The Matrix Revolutions…. and I have to say that I thought it was very good. I very much enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty different from the first 2, and… i dunno. It was a pretty good ending to the trilogy I think. I don’t want to comment on it too much because people haven’t seen it. If you’ve seen the first 2… go see it. If you have only seen the first one… go see the second one, and then go see it. The second one really isn’t bad. It just has one real dumb scene, and is incomplete because the 3rd one finishes it. The movie inspires thinking… which it is good for you to do. Go see it, and see what you think ;).

I’ll probably see it again this weekend….

i am tired, but… i have to go to work in about 2 hours… so…. i am not going to go to sleep. why am i not already asleep? because… i bought Final Fantasy 11 today. I wanted to play it… so.. i bought it, and was installing it by around 4 pm… now, most people would think.. so.. it took like maybe 20 minutes to install and then you were going, right? wrong. it took about that long to install, followed by needing a horrible amount of updates, etc… luckily, I could get most of them from Matt, but it still took forever to transfer them over the network. It was also complicated because I wanted to get on the same server as Matt, and so he had to find a way to get me a world pass for his server…. so anyway, i didn’t even get ON the game until like 9:30… 10… then, before I knew it, it was like 2… and then… i didn’t really want to go to sleep. And now it’s not really an option. But that’s ok. After class tomorrow, I sleep. And then…. it’s off to see The Matrix Revolutions. Which I may see this weekend in the imax as well, depending on if a certain person decides she actually can go do something for once. maybe i will go see it anyway, i don’t know. depends on if anyone here at school will go or not too, still haven’t mentioned it to any of them. well, off to find another way to kill time. i would play FF11 more but I am slightly frustrated from dying in it, so rather then become completely ticked off… i have opted to break for a bit 😉

anyway, i’m off. so all of you remember to sleep at night and not to waste a ton of time playing computer games.

Don’t you hate when you forget you have a test the next day one night, and then you wake up in the morning and for some reason it is the very first thing you remember? But then it is somewhat of a relief when you look and see that, even though your alarm is set for about 30 minutes before class, you managed to wake up 2 hours before class… despite being awake until 4 in the morning doing useless things 😉

Yeah, well, I think I’ll go take that test now 😉

Why is it that people of the female gender always feel the need to tell me they are going to do something and then not do it? I mean, couldn’t they just… not tell me, and then do it? or not do it. I mean, at least then i would not be thinking they are going to.

note: this is a comment directed towards many females, and no certain one in paticular, so please don’t feel singled out if you feel it applies to you 😉
