Short?!?!?!
XD
Full Metal Alchemist is great.
I just finished watching episodes 1 to 5, and it's soooo good. The graphics and character illustrations is really good, not as graceful as maybe DN Angel, but still really well done. Edward has great hissyfit expressions when he gets pissed off, especially when people call him short (and he IS short). I love his hair, too. Hafta say that Lieutenant Roy Mustang's pretty hot, too.
Gonna go find more eps now...

New anime(s)
Quote of the Day: "Maybe you love Hiwatari-kun."
~~Dark's twisted logic, ep 4~~
music: Minas Morgul ~ rotk soundtrack
ANNOUNCEMENT!
Because this is Nazgul 5 of Minas Morgul, I hereby claim the song Minas Morgul from the Return of the King soundtrack as my theme song.
So nyah.
ANYWAY.
Have discovered a new anime: DN Angel. Atcually, discovered it a while ago, but have gone back to it now that I found new episodes. Funny how everytime I try to watch something, it always gets liscenced. Happened to Gundam Seed, and now this. Thankfully, there's still a few distributors out there who haven't given up on it.
So far, I've seen eps 1-8. I think I'm just going to download 9-26 in one shot so I have 'em all before they're removed.
My thoughts: KEWL. It's actually quite good. I didn't think it would be this good. The graphics are excellent, the characters cute, and the plotline pretty cool. Dai is adorable, Dark is SeXaY, and I must say Satoshi is very much Eriol from Cardcaptor Sakura. Seriously. Plus he's got Asuran's voice (Why must Asuran's voice be so sexy?). Saw Krad for the first time this morning watch ep 4 (I watched them backwards, 5-8 first, then 1-4). So yeah, Krad ownz you all.
Also downloaded first few eps of Full Metal Alchemist. Gonna see if that's any good, then gonna play Lufia all day.

Merry X-masssss, precious.
Quote of the Day: "We will see the Shire again, Pippin."
~~Merry to Pip before he's carried off by Gandy the Bleached~~
music: The Steward of Gondor ~ rotk soundtrack, featuring a solo from Pip
Faired pretty well on X-mas day, if I do say so meself.
Attended 10:00 mass last night. Didn't see anyone I knew except Marco the don from gardenview. He's at the senior campus now.
Didn't sleep very well, don't know why. Slept for about two hours from 5:30 to 7:30, then woke up and opened my very first gift, which, of course, was the soundtrack from the Return of the King *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
Which I listened to most of the morning. I wanna review my fav songs a bit before I go on.
A Storm is Coming, the first song, it's cool in the sense that it weaves alot of themes from the first two soundtracks in a whole knew way. Of course you have the original theme of LotR, then going into a Shire-type melody with that wind instrument, followed by a more picked up rythm that's a bit like a Shadow of the Past from FotR. It's short, and it has the different aspects and moods. I do believe it's the scene of Deagol's murder.
Minas Tirith ish cool. It has the slow theme and then rises as Gandalf an Pippin reach the White City, and its central theme itself is well woven, I think it reflects the city well. The White Tree, the song following it, is a bit scattered, but pretty cool nonetheless. It centers more on the history of the city and the Tree and Citadel themselves instead of the grand picture all in one.
The Steward of Gondor ISH THE BEST. Yes, because Pip has a solo. But it's sad towards the end, mostly because that's the scene where Faramir and his army are riding to their suicide battle, and it's all Denethor's fault. Pip's song is still the best, though. Amazing voice.
Minas Morgul IS AWESOME. The song brings in the power of the orginal Barad-dur theme which we didn't hear in TTT (only very briefly and quietly), but because this is NOT Barad-dur, it's different - this is the realm of the Witch-King of Angmar, the second most powerful being in Mordor, and his tower is incredible. The theme itself captures the image of the tower perfectly by keeping the same power of Barad-dur theme, and yet twisting it to fit the scene of the fell beasts flying over a black tower bathed in an eerie green light.
Cirith Ungol is short and to the point. The beginning is kind of like Ithilien's theme, the Forbidden Pool, but a bit more Mordor-ish, and then you have the Shire-like insert part which brings us back to Frodo and Sam. The end is the theme from Argonath, which works well.
Shelob's Lair (which is creepy as hell and a personal fav) is the Passage of the Marshes of RotK. The beginning part carries the exact same mood as the Passage of the Marshes and the same feeling of forboding. Then you have the quiet treading which was in the Taming of Smeagol, and then it just takes off with the chase theme when she's going after Frodo, and let me tell you it puts you at your wits end. It gave me the impression she was lurking under my bed somewhere. It's very well done and creepy.
I have not had a chance to hear the entire thing past The End of All Things, but I have heard the end theme, Into the West, which is pretty good. Overall, I think it's almost as good as TTT and as good as FotR (if not better), and people haven't been giving it enough credit.
OKAY.
Now that I've done that.
I also got the Visual Companion to RotK (which completes my collection) and the 2004 16-month calendar. That was my LotR paraphanelia. From my cousins I got Berty Botts Every Flavoured Beans (people, I'm warning you now, don't eat Booger, my aunt almost barfed). I also got some bookmarks, a picture frame and two t-shirts and a shamrock charm for my bracelet.
In books I got Eragon, the Wish List, and Inkheart, all of which I've considered reading, so now I just have to finish the Silmarillion and I'll be all set. Didn't get any art supplies (*sob*) nor GBA games, so I'll have to sum up the money I get from my Nonni to get myself a game. Either Golden Sun, one of the new Yu-Gi-Oh ones, or Magi Nation. In terms of CDs I got Lumidee (yay), Dido's new one, Thalia, and The Thrills, an Irish band, which was a gift from my aunt's Irish boyfriend (a Dubliner; pretty nice guy).
So I'm going to spend my time listening to RotK now. Merry X-massss.

OMIGOD
music: Thoia Thoing ~ r kelly
THE EYEBALL
If you can't see it (damn you) it's just a box that says "I adopted Sauron Jr, and there's A PLASTIC EYEBALL WITH LITTLE RED FLAMES IN BACK AND ITS HILARIOUS *dies cackling*
And then there's one "Keeper of Pippin's Apple" XD

Melkor ish cool!
Quote of the Day: "But it is not this day!"
~~Best part of Aragorn's speech before the battle of Cormallen~~
music: Evenstar ~ isabel bayakdarian
GAH.
I was just starting to blog when the power went out T_T
So I'm back to finish what I began.
Huzzah.
I've memorized not only every song from the soundtracks of both LotR movies, but every single line from the movies as well. I can recite both three-hour long movies without stopping. With the accents too. I've only seen RotK twice though, but so far the best line (apart from all of Smeagol and Pip's) is Aragorn's big speech before the battle of Cormallen, especially his "But it is not this day!!" It's one of those lines that randomly comes to mind that I can just say out of nowhere for fun. Sort of like "For sun is rising!" from the Two Towers.
On the subject of Melkor, I'm re-reading the Silmarillion for the second time. Don't ask why. Was at the hairdressers again for two and a half hours today (Shani hair) and plowed through eight chapters. So yeah, Melkor ish cool. I've always liked him. I hate the name Morgoth though, I wish they'd just stuck to Melkor. It's much more sexy. He's like the Sephiroth of the Valar. Or Alex from Golden Sun. Cirdan the Shipwright ish cool too.
That's the thought of the day. Going to go play with my Shani hair now.

SO bored
music: Six million ways to Live ~ dub pistols
I'm so bored I'm blogging. How pathetic is that?
Finished reading Evangelion 6, the one were Toji was piloting Unit 03. I'd read the summary before and knew what happend, but that still didn't help it from being incredibly disturbing. Poor Toji. Am going to shoot someone if I have to wait any longer for a manga with Kaworu in it.
And Shinji still looks like Alibaba.
*sigh*

Yes I'm actually going to blog now.
Quote of the Day: "What has Smeagol EVER done to him?!"
~~Smeagol poking fun at Sam~~
music: Never There ~ cake
Yeah I know, no blogging for like two days straight. Been tired. Making up for it now, on the first saturday of X-mas vacations. >=D In the words of Azrael, yatta!
Thursday was a draaaag. Typing test first period which I completely screwed up, getting 72 words per minute and 88 accuracy, which gave me a 95%. Mr Brochu said I could come back the first schoolday next year at lunch to retake it and perhaps get at least an 98%. But I must type with all ten of my fingers. Which really really sucks, considering I type regulary with only two or three of them.
Engrish was perhaps the most boring subject I've ever sat through. We did absolutely NOTHING, and even at that it was boring. Mrs Coconis did bring us hot chocolate, however, and Amanda took the time to bump into me and spill it all over my white blouse. Nice.
I was supposed to have an early dismissal (was being pulled out before math to go see LOTR. Seriously). But missed the first five minutes of science because apparently Mrs Lagodich had lost my note. Finally got it sorted out, sat through half an hour of science, and left to go see Smeagol and co. Love this movie. Shall review it perhaps later today.
Yesterday, our last day of torture before the holidays, was not as bad as anticipated. Evil music student teacher left and we were finally able to play without being stopped in the middle of every song, but we only got to play ONE freaking song because people took a million years to finish their playing tests. Brought my music sheets and trombone home, though. Still don't know how I fared on my theorie test.
Had freee time in french too, and Fo lost her voice so we didn't have to present our oral *heaves huge sigh of relief*. For the most part, Alicia and I watched the guys play cards. Oh, and we got our candee-o-grams too. Got one from Vero, one from Druggie (saying I love Jon T.T;; which is total bull) two from Kaiba-kun, one from Reina, one from Dia (we're gonna go see LOTR again together =D) one from Ri-chan, and one from Tanisha-san.
We missed engrish to see the dance show, which was pretty good. And usual, Terri, Shalesh and Jo did really well, and Terri showed us all she can do a pretty amazing backflip. There was one middle-east style dance were I caught Azrael out of the corner of my eye dancing XD Told him later and he asked me if it was good. Flahed him thumbs up.
At lunch, we hung about downstaires and saw him again (got locked out of his homeroom *snort*) and then had duty upstaires in the place d'Acceuil, where we followed him around.
In math, couldn't really talk to Theo thanks to the number of times he gets in trouble, which eventually caused his desk to be dragged in front, further away from me. He, of course, didn't let up with turning around to talk to me, but by the end of it, Jamgotchian let us out without a problem. Vive les vacances.
