K so here's the deal. Starting issue 701 of the current DC superman comic superman will be going on a not so epic adventure. He plans to WALK ACROSS AMERICA. you know, to reconnect with the people. This came when he realized he doesn't have a connection with the people whom he keeps safe. He then asked the flash who had this to say "When I'm running flat-out, I see what I figure you see when you're flying up there at several bazillion times the speed of sound," the speedster replies. "I see a blur. Unless I make an effort to see the details." NO FUCKING DUH. The flash can run at like the speed or light or something. i remember in one justice league cartoon he could fucking travel through time he was so fast. So WTF. WTF IS THIS SUPERMAN? They also said he may go down to the south and do something there. LIKE WHAT? Drink some moonshine and play a banjo?! maybe he'll fight the evil BANJOMAN? BETCHA his super power is drinking booze and making people's ears bleed. UHG. Just when you think superman can't get any lamer. they turn him into an American Terry Fox. Minus the cancer and a good cause... HERPA DERP SUPERMAN that's all i have to say. No wonder i don't read DC comics. BLARG. GOOD SHOW DC GOOD SHOW!

mario galaxy and video game lists and FINALLY applying to u of c
Yar it be official maties. This old sea dog has set his bottle a float in hopes the u of c accepts him. It's been a treacherous journey, full of sirens and octopies and whirlpools. But alas i have taken the plunge and set sail in hopes of a new land!
yeah... with that out of the way, we'll talk about some exciting things. I bought mario galaxy purely because new super mario brothers wii just wasn't doing it for me anymore and with the upcoming mario galaxy 2 i just HAD to do it. Gotta say the game is fucking ADDICTING. It's crazy good fun with 2 people though. Try and find a mate that just wants to sit there, watch you game and collect stuff with the wii mote. I found playing it with my sister very fun, as she would critique me on how poorly i jump and yet was helpful in collecting stuff and shooting the star bit cannon. Believe me, trying to do some hardcore platforming while worrying about pointing the wii mote at the screen and shoot/collect stuff does not go over well.
I also have comprised a list of video games that i will be playing over the summer here's a taste of what i have so far
batman arkham asylum
assassin's creed 2
mario galaxy 2
no more heros 2
mario galaxy
new super mario brothers wii
fable 2 (as a bad guy)
paper mario 2 and 3
it should prove to be amazing summer because of it.

So i was in china town with Joce and Erin the day before yesterday, why you ask? i HAD to buy a pokemon key charm thing for my pokewalker cause i'm just that friggin cool. Well and i wanted to hang out with Erin and hadn't seen Joce in a while. But yeah so i'm in the store and i find a MEW! fucking win. So i run up the counter "i want this!" "they're 3 for 10." "OMG REALLY?!" so i run back and look for some more. except all i can find are gay sinnoh pokemon. what to do... "oh there's more over here" "FUCKING WIN!" so i look over there and want do i find? "SCIZOR! TYPHOLISON!" gotta be my 2 fav pokemon ever. so i bought them. scizor is on my phone, mew is on my pokewalker and typhlosion is on my ds. lots of win
i've also been playing new super mario brothers a lot lately. it's pretty damn bad ass to be honest. I love playing it a lot. Not just with my sister in 2 player but single player is awesome too. I HATE saving toads though and HATE being mario. luigi is ten times better...

dress clothes and impulses and interviews
So i have an interview with shaw this evening. However it's for a sales job and i really really don't want the job, mostly cause you're on the road a lot and i just really don't wanna go after something like that right now. Plus sales job? again? i promised myself after last summer that i wouldn't do another job like that. it's just so hard to fit in with people like that and when i look back on the whole experience it very much feels like you're wrapped in the comfortable blanket of possibility when really, you're working your ass off and may not come home with a paycheck everyday...
So because of this interview i thought i'd try and look my best and put on some of my dress clothes from last summer. turns out i got bigger, not just horizontally but vertically too. My shoulders got wider, my arms are longer, my legs are longer and my gut is bigger. it's a bit discouraging but at the same time i'm thankful that i'm still growing a bit... some in unwanted places though.
The funniest part about all this is that at the same time this group called Vector marketing has been calling me none stop. They're a great bunch of guys from what i've heard but as i said i'm not at all in the mood for a sales job. The same guy has called at least 10 times now... and left 5 messages. i finally was actually around and didn't have my pants on the floor, so i picked up the phone. Best part was during my stay at my job last summer was that i learned about impulses. This includes but is not excluded to, fear of loss, sense of urgency, jones effect, greed and indifference. So when i started talking to the guy he was super friendly with me, asked me about how i was, then impulsed the shit out of me. "we're trying to fill these spots soon so interviews are a first come first serve basis and we have a lot of applications, are you free tonight?" i laughed to be honest. fear of loss, sense of urgency, indifference (never once did he say we're impressed by your application) and telling me there's lots of applicants? Jones effect. pretty funny stuff, i have to admit i giggled while on the phone with him.
Oh and p.s i miss when ditto wasn't just used for pokemon sex...

B gata H kei review (first impressions)
Good evening anime fans today we'll be looking at another new series that premiered this season. We'll be looking at the soon to be ecchi hit, B gata H kei
I'll be following the format laid out in my last review so lets get to it! However i will be adding a section about characters it will not at al be in depth just really quick and dirty.
Opening - Really cute sound as expected from an ecchi anime. most of it is just the main female character Yamada doing stereotypical cute things. there's also a little spot for each of the other characters. Nothing too amazing but it's not at all shitty so that's a good thing.
art style - Why does it seem more time and effort is put into ecchi art than any other art? Gotta say I'm pretty impressed, they chose a really good stereotypical ar5t style for a ecchi anime and gotta say it's really cute. It does however seem that other than different heads and tits all the characters have the exact same body... well except for Yamada cause she's got these crazy long legs and her skirt is half as long as all the other girls. That's just me being really picky though.
story - Yamada's goal is to have 100 fuck buddies by the end of high school. She's currently a virgin and wants more than anything to meet the proper guy for her to lose her virginity with. She of coarse chooses some normal, plain looking everyday high school no body, for no real reason at all. But she's a bit of an idiot when it comes to sexual matters or even how to hit on a guy. This leads to a lot of crazy things happening. Nothing that amazing or ground breaking.
characters - k, seriously, they all seem SO 2d it's not even funny. It's basically just been the same gags over and over just instead of her showing tits she'll raise her skirt. i do hope however things get a bit more interesting but i doubt it.
bonuses - They refer to virginity as having your "cherry-kun" made me fucking laugh when i listened to them speak instead of just reading subs. There's also a lot of stuff about cherrys in the anime as well. It's pretty funny
overall I'd give it a 7/10 nothing earth shattering though. It's really cute and i REALLY like the art so where it loses in being awesome it makes up for being super cute and easy to watch. Very much an anime for guys though. or lesbians. or if you're bi sexual. or just love romances with a lot of ecchi.... or don't have a significant other.

what's black and white and red all over?
pokemon apparently. A few hours ago of the time this is posted the 5th gen of pokemon games has been announced in japan. Pokemon black and white. Currently all we know is that these games will part of the 5th generation of pokemon and will feature the 2 fox pokemon Zorua and Zoroark.(these pokemon are black and red, which is where i got the red in the title from) They are slated to release at the end of this year so we will probably see an english version about a year from now if they take the same amount of time as they did for translating heart gold and soul silver.
I'd also like to comment on how much of a nerd i am for knowing this bit of news hours after it being released....really gotta get a life. i'm working on it though :)

kaichou wa maid-sama (first impression)
Good evening anime fans today we'll be looking at one of the new series that has come out this month. We'll be looking at what i hope to be an up and coming star, kaichou wa main-sama
now i have no idea what i did in the past. but what I'll be doing is looking at what i think are the 3 most important things to an anime. These are the things i look at when deciding what animes to watch.
Opening - It's got some pretty nice opening graphics switching between a couple of styles to cause a nice cute sorta atmosphere. It sorta reminded me of the Special A. It really sets up that there's something going on between the 2 main characters(obviously since it's an anime) But you do see the girl in more of a darker atmosphere a couple of times that gets explained in the anime.
art style - gotta say it's not amazing fantastic nor is it horrible. they do a lot of more "cute" things though cause well the main character is a girl after all. i think that they pull it off really well and throw in some of the "maid" aspects at time to spice up the atmosphere.
story - story seems interesting. nothing completely new though. Basic run down is that this girl goes to a school that only recently became coed and therefore has few girls. Misaka tries to do everything, be president, patrol the school, make sure the girls are treated well, maintain good grades and work a maid job. When her dad ditched the family he left a huge debt behind that has caused the whole family to be poor. the best part is that she's a maid while trying to be the model student. Funny contrast. Then the hottest guy in school finds out her secret and starts to stalk her cause he loves her. neat and i'm excited to see all the drama that happens because of it. it very much reminds of Special A again though. except the main character chick is a maid on the side.
bonuses - the first scene is absolutely amazing we see Misaka not allowing the obvious trouble makers Kurosaki, Sarashina and shirokawa into the school. then she rips out shirokawa's earrings! funniest thing ever.
overall I'd give it a 7/10 nothing earth shattering but it has potential and should be a good watch.
