Tropes
I’ve said it multiple times, haven’t I? Tropes can be used to describe everything: places, people, plots, phrases, everything. No story is truly original, all works are derivative. Everything takes plot points from things that have come before it. Which is why tropes are so useful: everything has happened before. Sure, maybe this time there’s a new twist- Lion King was...
We now return you to your regularly scheduled...
Where the main characters’ names are no longer lies. Feels good to be back :)
So many tacos on Facebook right now.

My favorite part of your birthday present
It wasn’t that I knew it wasn’t cheap, or that I expected to like it, or that you got it for me expecting me to love it (well duh), or that it was you giving it to me. My favorite part was the way you said “Happy Birthday” with what has to be the most sincere smile I’ve ever seen on your face. Your intonation, the hug afterwards, all of that was memorable....
There's only one thing upsetting about this break
And it’s that in my non-packing, I didn’t bring my ocarina (any of them) home :( No matter, I’ll just sing along to the tune in my head :)
Poor Code Monkey :(

Koalas
Quite amazing, aren’t they? Especially when they’re happy. Because then they just make everyone’s day that much better. :)

INTERNETS, 18th of January 2012 PRESS RELEASE, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Over a century ago Thomas Edison got the patent for a device which would “do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear”. He called it the Kinetoscope. He was not only amongst the first to record video, he was also the first person...

SOPA/Protect IP
Beautiful day for a revolution, wouldn’t you say? Let this much be known: There is no force on this planet more powerful than the Internet together. Wikipedia, Reddit, and various other sites are going down today in protest of SOPA and Protect IP. Do whatever you can. Changing profile pictures isn’t enough. Make calls, write letters and emails, do everything possible to show that we...

Saw some old friends today
“We were going to just troll the first student we saw by pretending to be juniors, but then we saw you leaving Hunt. We could tell it was you from that distance because you were looking up at the sky.” Later, when leaving: “Remember: all the answers are in the stars.” I love my friends.

I’m making a note here: Huge Success.
I am guilty of that which I condemn most.
All of it. And that’s all there really is to say.

So sleep talking is officially the strangest thing...
No, like, really.
For the record,
I swear I’m not -that- obsessed with Code Geass (seriously, it’s been like over a year since I watch it) or FMA. Heck, I like Death Note more than I like FMA. It’s just that CG and FMA are SO FREAKIN’ QUOTABLE. Especially Lelouch. So yeah. Ignore the fact that that’s the majority of this blog.

Smash Tournament
Lilly and I had a good run :D Didn’t even expect to play when she asked me to team up, but oh god it was fun. Funny how the day after my tag duel post I had a chance to experience that feeling again :)

Tag Duels
Since the time I started playing, one of my favorite alternate formats has always been tag-dueling. The idea just fascinated me back then: both teammates play with their own cards hidden, their own hands, their own everything except field. Yet one member’s defeat is the other’s as well, one’s victory also the other’s triumph. I also liked them because of other...
Diabolus ex Machina
Lelouch’s geass activated at the worst possible time. Euphie had the Special Administrative Zone all planned out and there would be a happy ending. They were simply talking, and although Lelouch had problems with her plan he knew he couldn’t truly fight it. And then, in what truly seems like nothing but an asspull, a diabolus ex machina, on the writers’ part, Lelouch orders...
Yu-Gi-Oh
Some people think the way I play is strange. It is strange, even I’ll admit it, but I can’t see myself playing any other way. All of my matches work out basically the same way. I’ll play defensively at first. Very much so, stalling for time. Counters, defense, any kind of wall I can get. Put your back to the wall and they can only come at you one way, right? I’ll give...
My constellation turtle needs a name.
Any suggestions?

Besides the obvious, it’s because I don’t have to use Hotspot to get it to work at home.
