    Haha. I'm working on the ending of the Exquisite Corpse, myself. I've hit four pages so far, lol.

    It's really crazy. o.O

    Yeah, I've been in tennis for around three years. The last two I was on junior varsity, this year I made it to varsity. I can't do any of the weird top spin stuff that makes the ball's trajectory veer off when it hits the ground, but I am pretty consistent. I actually just got back from a match with a guy who's about as good me. I beat him at both games: 6-2 and 6-3. I guess I was having a really good day.

    If I can get off of the internet and into word, I may actually finish the next chapter of the One Latias rewrite within the hour. Curse you, random remix of D.A.N.C.E. that I found on Imeem!

    NaT, HaT tackles some extremely difficult topics. There's this one scene later--you'll probably recognize it when you see it--that I almost couldn't watch. It's in Episode 6: Disappearance in a Sandstorm. Actually, that episode in particular was spectacularly crafted from start to finish.

    I took tennis lessons for like one or two seasons, but I never got really good. I could pretty much get the ball on the other side of the net and keep it in-bounds dependably, with a tad of direction control.

    I think that I've sorely misjudged the plot line of NaT, HaT...I've seen three episodes so far and it has thrown my expectations out the window. It seems more about balancing civil liberties and survival rather than "Let's use our powers to blast (insert entity here)."

    What else...I learned an important lesson. Do not play tennis with twenty people on a court (ten on each side). Our team tried it and it was...scary. Everyone was so jam-packed that whenever someone took a swing, two or more people would almost get their heads cut off. It wasn't so bad if you were standing in back but if you were up at the net...Not to mention the fact that every third ball hit a player instead of a racket. We even tried one-versus nineteen and surprisingly, the side with one person won. That was lol-worthy.

    I guess that's the only exciting thing that happened within the last few days.

    I'll look for the Anime there. And I'm fine with questionable elements. I've watched Bleach before and that gets pretty intense. Whenever there's a battle, blood is spewed everywhere. In most instances, the loser is knocked out cold only to wake up a few days later and find that they have multiple bones broken. Not to mention the fact there's this crazed scientist who likes to tell gruesome stories about his "experiments'" deaths.

    Um...what else...I've finnished the next chapter of Elements and am in the process of proofreading and editing. I hope to have it published by this weekend. I have to say that Planesphere has proved to be good music to write fight-scenes to...It's grown on me.

    If you like NaT, HaT I would recommend watching it on this site called Veoh. It has every episode in good quality for free.

    I should probably warn you that there's some dark elements, including but not limited to bloody violence involving children and implied rape. It is not an anime for the faint of heart. It never gets seriously bad, but it certainly may make you uncomfortable...in fact it's intended to, but that's what makes it so good. It really makes you pause and think. You'll see what I mean.

    I just saw the first episode of Now and There, Here and There. I must say...it does seem interesting. I was laughing pretty hard when the kid (forgot what his name is) beat up those mechanical dragon-things to try to save LaRue.

    I can see a sort of parallel to our fan fictions...the main characters say "Woah...we have extra-worldly powers. Screw the rules! Let's get away from these guys who want them! No, they're chasing us!...yes, we're free! What now?..."

    Although I haven't seen enough of the anime to conclude that it follows this plotline, I can make a conjecture based on what you told me and the first episode. Pity that LaRue had to be captured. Hopefully she gets free.

    I also found that Justice has done a fifteen-minute, four-part song called "Planesphere" for a fashion show in France. I know it sounds weird but it actually isn't too bad. Not their best work, but still something worthwhile to listen to. Here's the first part. You should be able to navigate to the other three parts using the sidebar.

    Huh. I'll really have to look into that show, then. The last anime I tried was Bleach. It got kind of boring part way through so I stopped watching. Then Bobobo, which was one of the randomest things I've ever seen. I wonder what happened to it...

    But yeah, I'll have to check NaT, HaT out. I'm currently in the middle of a writer's block. I'm less than a page away from finnishing the next chapter of Elements and I keep on rewritting it. I was hoping to publish this weekend, but we'll see.

    And I smell food...homemade pizza, I think. I may have to leave in a minute.

    I've heard of Infected Mushroom, and Nyana sounds really good. I used all of my available iTunes assets on buying NaT, HaT, so I'll have to either listen to the music on youtube or wait a bit.

    NaT, Hat is actually possibly the best television show I've ever seen. I'm not even joking. It has fantastic character development and the plot is extremely interesting. I can't get enough of it...I've watched like three hours of it today alone. Try youtube-ing the first episode...they're only like 25 minutes each.

    Maybe I'll look into the anime. It sounds interesting but I haven't had that much time for TV lately. And Sandstorm...I love that song. It's too bad that I can never find the original to download. There's like a million remixes of it.

    Also of note, one of my friends brought his iHome to P.E. class yesterday. It can play ipods and mp3 players over a set of speakers. I gave my friends a taste of Justice. The majority agreed that the music was "club-worthy" and that it was good to play badminton to. One kid whined about it though and said that it sucked...So he put on his ipod and played music from an artist called Infected Mushroom. They sounded psy-trance-ish, not too bad, actually.

    I've also discovered a compilation mix by Tiesto called Nyana. I've listened to a good portion of it and it's very laid-back, kind of reflective. Here's the opening track.

    So I found this anime today called "Now and Then, Here and There." It's about this kid that gets transported to the far future, when the sun is dying and has boiled away the earth's water supply. The earth's people are all divided into warring factions, and the boy is basically forcibly coerced into joining one. He is also trying to protect this girl that can control and create water...it's actually really good so far. The style is dated somewhat (the show was made in 1999-2000) but I'm loving it. You may want to check it out.

    This is worthy of a listen: Sandstorm - Darude

    Yeah, I thought it might not suite your tastes. I just kinda had to throw it out there. And I just thought of something...it seems like Tiesto's job is to fly around the world to break records. Think about it. At the 2004 Olympics, he was the first DJ to play music at the opening ceremony. He was the first solo-DJ (I think) to sell-out a two night event. He held the world's second-largest concert on a beach in Chile (again, I think). Just recently, he gave a concert in the UK that sold out on both nights, which I think set some sort of record for that country...

    I actually envy your position in the corpse. Right now I'm trying to forward my line to the next person on the list and they aren't responding. I'm considering just skipping them and moving to the next individual.

    And small places...I've never had to live in one with one person who I didn't know. Never thought of it that way. I guess I like them because I don't have a lot of stuff. I don't need a big place to house it.

    Going out on a tangent now...I'm in a multi-cultural literature class and over the semester, we have to do five separate "cultural projects". These can include attending a cultural festival, bringing in an artifact to share, or music. Yes, that's right, music. If I can put together a report on the origins of trance, I think that I could do a cultural project on it. Music is culture and although trance is all too often frowned upon for being associated with a "rave" culture, it is a culture nonetheless. I'll have to put some thought into it...

    That was long...hope I didn't talk your ear off and I'll (hopefully) see you around sometime.

    "Hey Boy Hey Girl" was okay, but you were right in that I wouldn't exactly call it my favorite song.

    I think I'm dead last with the Corpse...I'll try to end it with a bang. No telling how it will turn out. Only time will tell.

    Small rooms are a bit more weird when you're in them with a guy you've never met in your life before two days ago. I like small places too (I actually want a small condo by the ocean when I can afford one), but this is certainly different.

    I don't know why, but small seems good to me. I guess it's because I've lived in a small house all my life.

    I also know that discussion of the Corpse isn't exactly smiled upon...but let me just say this: I've planted some seeds and if others sow them, you will reap their benefits when your turn comes to write.

    Um...what else? I'm listening to the Chemical Brothers' Hey Boy Hey Girl right now. Not your cup of tea, probably, but I have to say that it probably is the most Daft Punk-sounding of all their stuff.

    Yo. I just pretty much finished moving in to college. It's definitely different. My dorm is small, but not too bad. It also feels a little awkward going onto pokemon websites with a bunch of other people...I guess I'll get over it, as will they.
