Note to self: I really should get up early on Thursdays more often. Because they have PANCAKES! Yummers! I miss good breakfasts...

Oh, and another annoyance to go along with the stupidity of yesterday's post: People who don't show up when they say they will.
The entire reason for me getting up early today was so I could go down to the IT building at Uni, and see my test itself, so I could work out where I lost marks. Which was supposedly between 10 and 11am. So I get down there at quarter past ten, show up at my Programming lecturer's office, and he's not freaking there! I mean, rude or what? At which point I give entirely, and head down to the city to deposit checks in the bank and buy compensatory badges. (Cos badge buying always cheers me up)

Once I got back for actual class type things I found out:
1. My Lit essay will be handed back next Thursday. *stress*

2. I got my Maths test score back. And it was...(drumroll please), 24 out of 40. Which doesn't sound hugely spectacular, but apparently a lot of people scored low. Also, considering I didn't do the last two questions, I could only have gotten a maximum score of 28, which is rather more comforting.

And some Random Quotes:
From my Psych Lecture: "No, not the wrong answer. The...less optimal answer."
Rob (in my Maths tute)- "Negative signs kill. Don't do neg."
- "I am the grapevine."
- (about the new Pope) "I like him. He looks evil. We need an evil Pope."
On the subject of which, I really do think the new Pope is rather evil looking. I saw this one picture, and the person it reminded me most of was the Emperor from Star Wars.
Which is slightly worrying.

And some memes that were going around at the moment:



Take a song that everyone knows. Copy the lyrics into Babelfish - http://babelfish.altavista.com/ - and translate from English to German, from German to French, and then from French to English. Post the results and let people guess the original.

And now, the end is narrow; And thus, I confront the final curtain. I say my friend, him free sector, indicates to me my case of which I am sure. I lived a life which is full.

I made, which myself and the saw was to do him without release. I projected each course developped at the point; Each careful stage the manner on side, however, much more like this one, I did it my manner.

For what a man does have what receives it? When itself it does not have of Naught. The things say that it feels true; And not words of one that which kneels.

You mentioned Emperor Papaltine:

http://popepalpatine.ytmnd.com
http://www.19stardrumco.com/pope.jpg

But really, he's not that similar...

Meanwhile, I'm going to have to question that socialite name - both for the unusual name of Crackers, and the fact that you managed to have a party in Coleraine. I mean, the best thing there is the chocolate shop.

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


Oh dear Lord. Those pics rock mightily. And it's nice to know I am not alone in my opinions...

And to [livejournal.com profile] aeque: Crackers is rather a long story. Cos for a while people at school called me Crackers Christie, 'cos they thought I was crazy. *insert sarcastic comment here*

It wasn't actually in Coleraine, that party. It was at a friend's farm nearby.

Well those songs are completely unrecognisable to me.

And as for some of my responses for the names...

MOVIE STAR NAME: (grandmother's/father's first name + favorite snack):

YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (first 3 letters of your last name+ last 3 letters of mothers middle name /+/ first 3 letters of your pets name + first 3 letters of the town you live in):
Watros Isamel

My answers to some of the others would have been pretty bad - the pornstar name is the same as one of my uncles, and the opposite sex name would be Telstra too... (is the Alex me or another one?) It just makes me wonder who makes up these things - what's the connection between phone companies and gender?

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


You aren't even going to try and guess them?

I think your names are amusing - I especially like Watros Isamel. Very nice.

The Alex is you, cos I was just picking up some random guy I knew, and you've ben around longer than my Uni friends.

And I also don't see what phone companies have to do with anything. :)

Well, I would have used Melissa for that one - I mean, you'd have to be my best female friend.

And now that I look at it:

2 is I Did It My Way, for sure, but I can't tell the others.

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


I'm your best female friend? That's...actually kinda nice. Yay, I feel special now!

On the subject of which, we'll have to meet up again sometime. Tell me when you have a Saturday or something free, and we'll work something out.

And you are right about 2, though my source called it just"My Way." Same song though, so good for you.

From: [identity profile] aeque.livejournal.com


Yes, good for me.

We should meet up again, but I'm on the verge of what may well be the busiest month of the year (excepting late October / early November). I have 3 Latin and Chemistry SACs, a Methods one, a French one and maybe an English one. Not to mention a school fair and two of my friends turning 18 (and I believe your birthday is later in the month, as well). But you never know, something might come up that sets me free.

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


My birthday is late May. 5 weeks from tomorrow, actually. But I commiserise for your Year 12-ness.

Personally, I think the new pope looks funny. Kind of like Yoda, only taller and less green-ish. (BTW, I have no knowledge whatsoever of Star Wars - my friend makes me watch the movies with her, and I'm dreading to go home in a few weeks, 'cause I know she'll be standing there, ready to drag me to the cinema by my hair or something... So don't be mad at me because Yoda isn't really green but a light shade of olive or whatever - never mind that olive is a shade of green...)

About this translation stuff - funny you mention it. I was having a translation class today, and we had incredible fun with all those free translators on the internet. As for guessing the songs - no idea.

Don't say he's like Yoda - it's mean to Yoda! Poor little green troll...(Yes, he is green. I'll let you have that one.)

And I can't believe anyone would have to be forced to go see Star Wars. I mean, it's Star Wars.

Internet translators = much fun

But... it's boring. No, really, it is. The story is great and all, but I thought Episode 1 was incredibly boring. Maybe I can't find the energy to like it because I never saw the original movies, or maybe I'm just not into science fiction, but I really thought it was boring. "Pretty pictures" is usually all I say when someone asks me about it because I don't want to start the big discussion why Star Wars is so cool and great and whatnot - I mean, I would react like that when people try to tell me that HP is children's stuff and I should finally grow up.

And of course, not having liked the first one, I didn't really feel enthusiastic about sitting there for three hours watching Episode 2.

But at least there were Liam Neeson (for the first one, right?) and Ewan McGregor, so I suppose it wasn't that bad.

And anyway, I can hardly refuse my friend the company, especially since we have an agreement. We each get to pick one movie we absolutely have to see, and even if the other one isn't really all that interested, she still has to go.

Where there's your problem: you are judging the entire series by Episode 1, which is widely acknowledged as the worst of the lot. And you have never seen the originals!? That's your other problem.

My advice: ignore Episode 1, or even all the prequels, like of my friends do, and watch the Original Trilogy. Just sit down and watch it. For a 70s movie, the special effects are great, but they have nothing on the story - it's just pure magic.

From: [identity profile] aeque.livejournal.com


The newer films aren't that terrible. At the very least, Lucas calmed the rabid masses by making Jar Jar Binks responsible for pretty much the whole shebang (*spoilers* he's the one that gives Palpatine power in Ep. 2, or so I am told). Personally I never got why people hated the guy...

They're not my favourite movies, but they're decently fun to watch.

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


You don't need to inform me about spoilers of Episode 2 - I knew that from when I saw the damn movie three years ago! And though Jar-Jar is admittedly annoying, I never got the mad hate either.

And yes, they are huge amounts of fun to watch. It's just that people have had like 20 years to obsess over the originals, so anything that happens with the preques is going to be a let-down.
