Give me sight beyond sight!

TB testing wasn't that bad, well, so far. I walked in, the nurse stabbed me with a needle and now I have to put up with some itchiness since then. I don't know how they determine whether you have TB or not, but by Friday I'll find out. Now wait a moment, I just checked Wikipedia and now I now. Don't just you just love Wikipedia? My thoughts are why go to university or whatnot when everything you ever want to know is on Wikipedia. Still the day that Wikipedia is sourced in court cases is when Wikipedia becomes the leading authority on everything.

Finally shaved off my beard today. I hadn't shaved in 3 weeks, so I was developing a beard Abraham Lincoln-style. Considering that it was a good 1 cm deep, shaving was a real pain. It took way longer than usual becomes I had to stop for frequently to rinse. It doesn't matter much anyway, because tomorrow it'll start growing back. Of course I could shave more frequently, but I'm just too lazy. These holidays ahve really made me lazy. When I start going to uni there will be hell to pay. Having to go to lectures on time and on schedule.

Also, I'm starting to think about playing World of Warcraft. I kind of regret now joining in early with Jack and friends, but I didn't feel like joining in. Now that Burning Crusade is out and I have a slightly heftier wallet, I might take the plunge. Or I could finish off FFX and think about playing FFXII. Ahh, decisions, decisions, decisions. Of course, I'm thinking of buying a next-gen console. There is a whole bunch of good games, but they are split between the Xbox360 and the PS3. A hard decision, although the Xbox360 is winning points because it is cheaper. Still, I'll just leave the decision for a later time.

Apparently Jack, Lesley, Bianca and someone else went back to Sefton to talk to the 07 12's about the HSC. For some reason, my brother wasn't impressed with Jack and Lesley. He said Jack talked about World of Warcraft. Well, possibly, but I'm sure Jack didn't talk about Warcraft for all of 30 minutes or whatever. And Lesley made the after-HSC period sound bad by saying something along the lines of "you work hard for 6 months, then take a break for 3 months'. Knowing Lesley's style I know what he means. Anyway, my brother judges people too quickly sometimes. He'll take one look and say "he's a bitch" or whatever. So don't take it too hard guys. It takes a bit of guts to overcome holiday laziness to talk to the 07's.

Naruto fillers has ended. Soon they'll be starting the new Naruto storyline. About time to you bastards. That filler gap was probably the longest gap ever. I would watch the older Naruto episodes, but the english dub is so badly butchered I can't take it. They remove all the blood and violence that sometimes the actions don't make sense. Maybe they shouldn't market to children, what about teens or young adults. There should be like a dedicated anime channel or something. Yes, dub the anime in english if you want, just don't butcher it. Evagelion is on the borderline. Sometimes the dubbing is alright, sometimes it's bad. Listening to the original Japanese, Gendo doesn't come off as a bastardly evil genius as in the dub. It's a more subtle evil, maybe not even evil, just he has a different goal than everyone else.

Here's a little something I found on Youtube. It's a clip of the comedy show Blackadder in its 4th season. Here Edmund Blackadder is pretending to be insane to get out of the trenches and he is explaining to Baldrick (the idiot servant) and Lt George (Hugh Laurie way before House) about how World War I started. Gold, pure gold.

evangelion platnium is AWSOME

the video quality is exellent.

i love the fact they give you dual audio.

the japanese audio is probably the best, but since the english dub is newer - it sounds crisper for some reason.
