Daily? Pfft....

A friend was telling me I should do these daily. I doubt I'll keep up this current pace up much more, but now is an eventful time. And I'm sure to pick up new experiences at Tech. We'll see.

Tomorrow I leave for Lubbock. However, I if doubt I'll get a chance to get online before Monday evening. Just a heads-up. I PROMISE to get something out by Tuesday night, even if it's just an entry from the library about how my new dorm doesn't work. In any case, I am really excited about Tech. And nervous that I'm gonna forget something. One suitcase can't POSSIBLY have enough clothes in it, can it? Oh, and I need socks, don't let me forget. Like I said, I'm bringing all my Magic cards, so hopefully I'll have them somewhat organized from now on. And I'm bringing all my manga (41 volumes!!!) and my meager collection of DVD's. The Transformers Original TV Series Box sets are coming, too, though they nearly got left behind because I couldn't find Season 3, part 1. Turns out it was just lying open, hidden in plain sight. Don't you just hate that? I KNOW I'm gonna forget something... Oh well, wish me luck, eh?

Also, I've been watching TV lately. I always do, of course, but lately, it's been different. Good. Or at least the Teen Titans 2-Parter I saw today, "Aftershock." It was great. I really was very impressed, so much so that I demanded that Matt record it onto his computer for future study. It was just SO great. I love all the episodes with Terra in them. Something about her just kind of intrigues me. I was kinda sad about the end. I won't spoil it for you, but it's a bit of a tear-jerker. Not THAT much, like .5% or something. But it was a great way to end the "Terra working for Slade" arc. I hope they make more episodes with her, I can't wait.

What is it about Terra that fascinates me so? I'm not sure, I guess I like the way her character isn't really sure of herself. She's got amazing powers, but doesn't truely believe she's got what it takes to play with the big boys. She'll go out of her way to prove herself, and really wants acceptance. ("Oh, yeah, that's new, a super-hero who feels outcast..." Shut up, voice in my head.) But yeah, it's really entertaining to watch her character grow, especially since none of the other Titans really do. They laugh, they learn, and at the end of the episode, everything's exactly the same as it was in the beginning for them. Terra, on the otherhand, is visibly affected by her experiences. She's a real person, and it almost seems like she helps bring the other characters to life more when she's around, too. Anyway, I'm rambling.

In other news, I managed to find kiddy porn on basic cable. (O_O?) TNT aired Superman 2 the other night (dead of the morning Saturday, really) and so I decided to record it. It had many great features, even though I didn't watch it all the way through. First, for those who don't know, it's the one with the other Kryptonians who battle Superman because they are evil. *Shrugs.* It's great. The villians are originally shown being imprisoned first in a pair of rotating hula-hoops, and then in a two-dimensional plane (amazing effects here). Also, Clark Kent's editor at the daily planet, in responce to a terrorist threat in Paris (What, terrorist before 9/11? I dont believe it!) tells Clark to research "everything on terrorism." I was laughing so hard at that, I had to get Matt to record it to an MP3. I'll share it when I get it on this comp.

And the child porn, during a flashback/intro/recap montage, it shows a preschool age Kal-El emerging from his just crashed space-pod, completely unharmed, of course, and also completely nude. Now, it makes sense because he was sent away when he was just a baby, but still, they could have done something about his tiny baby-penis. Yes, you read right. There was a childs penis uncensored on national cable.

And I deleted the TiVo of it, so no, you can't see. Rent it yourselves.

Perverts. (^_^) Later!
