Kickin' in the front seat. Sittin' in the back seat. Gotta make my mind up. Which seat can I take?

Watched it the day before yesterday. Terrible plot; awful storyline; one-liners to make you cringe... and I'm considering going to watch it again. The car scenes were done well, maybe even better than Tokyo Drift.

Yes, my life is PONIES

At least I got a new CD today.

What was the CD? I'm always on the lookout for music I haven't heard of yet. Latest gem I've encountered is Live and Learn by House of Fools. It's indie fuzz folk rock. Not the sort of thing you pit on expecting to sing along to or play along to but it was an interesting listen.

[Scarf]

I've been sick since yesterday so I skipped work today to play on the internet recover. :D

[sammi-san]

EEEE FINALLY SOMEONE MOVED IT TO OVP THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER NOW ;___;

I was feeling a bit down before that, tbh. D: Ah, well. It happens.

[Timbjerr]

My day was pretty basic. I didn't have classes, so I slept in. I played a little bit of White (I decided what my first competitive team of GenV will be and started breeding the necessary pokemon) after I woke up, then my mom treated me to lunch.

After lunch, I pretty much just surfed PC and continued my endeavors in White. After awhile, I had to go to work. D:

My work day was pretty slow and boring, but at least I was the designated team lead so I had fun ordering my two subordinates to do all the hard work while I just manned the counter. >:]

Then I got home no more than fifteen minutes ago and I'm back on PC. XD

Here's a poll for you guys: who was at the Royal Wedding?? I know I was, right next to the queen actually. Or did you watch it from your tv box?

[Zeffy]

A better question would be: who actually cared about the royal wedding?

I'm happy for the two of them tbh, but it being ALLOVER the news is just IRRITATING.

[Alternative]

The only thing I noticed about the Royal Wedding is that Ian Thorpe was there, who is an famous Australian swimmer, for breaking a few world records or something. Other than that, I didn't particularly care about it.

Only thing I cared about was trying to play a drinking game based on the Royal Wedding. I found the rules on Facebook, and it actually seemed fun. :D

[sammi-san]

I didn't pay attention to the wedding at all. Mainly, because I'm from the US and honestly I don't care what goes on with the royal family in the UK. It's not going to have any significance in my life at all. :/ Also, no cable. Even if I did I'd rather sleep in!

[Alternative]

Well lucky for you it was on in the morning. Here in Australia, it's on at night, so pretty much all the good TV shows have to be taken off for the royal wedding. It was also playing on every single channel, which sucked. x(

[Meganium90]

I DVRed the wedding, and watched it this morning during breakfast. It was alright, though. But I'm glad all the hype is over.

[Drew]

Oh yeah, the wedding. I forgot it was even going on today.. 8D;

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Sorry, but watching magical girl anime takes precedence over any wedding even my own.

That's... exactly what I did. Woke up midway through the ceremony to find out all of my family had gone over to someone's house to watch the wedding. Count me out - I went back to sleep.

[Timbjerr]

I thought it was hilarious that the American media was apparently more hyped about the royal wedding than the British media. From what I hear, William isn't even the crown prince, so the odds of him ascending to the throne are rare. XD

I just slept right through it tbh. :/

Charles is getting near the retirement age and the Queen doesn't seem to have plans to resign until she dies, so it's really likely that they'll jump over the current Prince and crown a 30-something William instead of a 70 Charles. And if Charles does get crowned, he won't last too long anyway.

The only way the Crown escapes Charles is if he dies before his mother. The rules of succession are very strict, given that they were written in the eighteenth century. Once the Queen dies, it'll pass to Charles automatically... as much as a lot of people don't want that! But, considering good ol' Liz is probably going to live as long as her mother (101-years-old), I think we're still in the long haul, to be honest!

^ ...and t'was fairly easy to do, considering most of the processes happened around 4 AM my time. :D;

[Rai]

I didn't even know about the Royal Wedding until my girlfriend mentioned it today xD; I honestly had no idea there was one even happening. But either way, I have more important things to worry about than a wedding.

[Charizard★]

We had a discussion about it in AP Euro, seeing as it's a part of European history, and then we discussed the Louis reign and such. It was quite an interesting topic to say the least, altho I never watched it.

[sammi-san]

I feel bad because I've never read Pokemon Special. Should I feel bad? :( I've heard good things about it, anyway.

[BinaryPeaches]

For most people who've read the PokeSpecial manga (I'm not saying all, mrf) it's considerably better than the Anime. I think the same goes for those who's read Pikachu's Electric Tales (or something along those lines) as well.

[donavannj]

I found Electric Tale of Pikachu to be quite entertaining, and different. Many might be put off by the art style or the greater deviation from the game mechanics than Pokemon Special had, but it's still a fun read if you can get past all that.

[sammi-san]

I read Electric Tale of Pikachu as a kid and really enjoyed it. I wonder if it holds up still? But that would involve me trying to find it. :/

Sadly that is the only Pokemon manga I've ever read ever. </3 Which is a shame, I like manga.

[Zeffy]

I'm not one who reads the Pokemon Manga. Its just that something that I'm not bothered to do. =S

[JB2448]

I think I can summarize some of my favorite moments of the entire manga with the two color spreads that were made for its fourth arc, Ruby and Sapphire:
