Yeah, the amount of prep is insane. My school does really well at MCAS, though, so I guess it pays off. However, my friend and I aren't allowed to take the biology MCAS this year because we took the engineering one last year. XD Half of my bio class hates us.

Aw, man, that stinks out loud. You've probably already watched the disc in the insane amount of time that it's taken me to respond to this, you're probably already halfway through the series. So, if this is true, what do you think of it?

Man, I haven't watched the OVA yet. Curse my laziness! *starts going to Youtube but stops, because it's blocked on the school computers*

That's just what happened to Immortal Rain! The creator finished off one of the books at a killer cliffhanger and hasn't picked it up in years!

I've heard of Karin, but only in passing. What's it about?

No, but I really want to see a series called Nerima Daikon Brothers. Apparently it's a lot like the Blues brothers, and it's made by the same person who did excel Saga. Which more or less means it'll be totally great.

My german class also made a video recently, and I can dig up the link if you want to watch it. Just a warning, it's completely in German and has no subtitles, not to mention completely off the wall.

Toodles!

I liiiiiiiiiiive!
MCAS wasn't that bad, all things considered. I have another one in May, though.
And now, to continue the great conversation:
^^ I'm glad you liked it. And yes, I am enjopying the series so far, sorry if I was unclear.
Oh, it's hard to not be fond of Tamaki. All of the mad escapades he gets into are just so terribly amusing. XD And his self-delusion is also quite amazing. Yeah, I'm a Nekozawa fan. I loved the episode where he was trying to become closer with his sister.
I'm constantly surprised by what I can find through the library. Ah, Inuyasha. That is a very good series, but beware: it is also a series that goes on and on and on and on. That doesn't change the fact that it's an engaging story. As for Please Save My Earth, I got terribly confused by the sixth book, and just stopped trying to comprehend it.
Oh, I remmeber that world in the manga. Lecourt was the world's name, I believe. That shot of Syaoran just standing there, holding the book with tears pouring out of his eyes was...wow. (for lack of any sufficient word) It was so sad, I just wanted to hug Kurogane. Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

And if you're having trouble with the response, just open a new tab or window so you can go back and reference it. That's what I do.

Toodles!

Sometimes it's hard for me to know at the beginning of a series if it will be a "keeper" or not. Some are just entertaining enough to read once, but a few are like novel series where the early details were there but I didn't realize the importance to the overall story because I was focusing on the current plot; by the time the fourth book comes out, the background details of book 1 have faded and need refreshing. Luckily I'm a hoarder, so I usually have easy access to the earlier books. (The down side of being a hoarder is when I know I probably won't read it again—or get around to reading it—I still have a hard time getting rid of books.)

Hello. I had to wait until I was home to check the volumes and it's a good thing I did, because I would have told you probably V3 or V4, but it turns out that Watanuki visits the Legal Drug pharmacy in V1 for about 3 pages. Have fun rereading.

Lähettänyt: trollsdotter 10:44 pm (EST) Mar 12, 2008

Thank you! :D The anime is really different than the manga. I've only gotten partway through the Hanshin arc, but man, they're really different.

Where does TR begin, and where does Tsubasa end?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6U1MuQ8e... This is the video that I told you about. It's called "Strange Names"

It's good that you found a comprehendable site. Thanks but no thanks,I've already found a place.I felt bad for him at the beginning, but I loved the way the episode went. The iscussion between Kyoya's and Tamaki's father was really amusing. Who's your favorite character in that series? Mine is Nekozawa. X3

I wonder why the pronoun translation is so strange. It might have something to do with all of the varying degrees of formality in the Japanese language.

I've read a bit of D.N. Angel, and it's pretty good, but I'm not sure about the anime. I'll ask my friend, because she's a huge fan of that series. I recommend Bleach the most out of them all. The only issue I have is with the animation itself. It starts out really shiny and good, but after a while it just gets a little odd. To quote my friend, "I could tell when they stopped focusing on Rukia because she actually looked normal!" The storyline is really good though, and it's very engaging.

Sandman can be really creepy, no doubt about it. I've read Stardust too, and one of my chorus-mates said that American Gods is a must-read.

Toodles!

Lähettänyt: Mondmadchen 2:34 pm (EST) Mar 8, 2008

Watanuki and Syaoran get really funky bed-head, but you're right. I noticed that, and thought it was really odd. *scruffs both their heads* "That tricky magician with glasses." Hopefully we'll be able to meet some version of him soon.
It would be really freaky if everything turned out to be a dream. I think my head might explode. I don't know if you've read it, but the whole dream/reality theme is really making me think of the Sandman series (by Neil gaiman). One of the books (book 5, A Game of You, to be prescice) discusses the difference between dreams and reality, and makes the argument that dreams are their own "reality."
The clarity of what happens is a definite plus for anime. I've found a site that streams it, but episode 3 doesn't work, so I have to hunt down another site, but the disc will probably end up coming first. *waits*

What are good usernames for the anime on YouTube? I know that there arew a lot of sub-par subs, but the majority of the ones I've found are spanish, and I don't speak spanish.
My friend has some Ouran discs that are a little less than legal, and the appalling sub quality just makes us laugh. do you think that the switching genders might be a result of the fact that Haruhi is really a girl, or is it for other characters?
I watched the video, and it was great. XD I'll send you the link for a good vid i found once I'm home (my school doesn't allow YT.)
Well, there's the bell, bye!

Fai's my favorite too. (I got the icon here: http://www.digik.net/avatars/series/20 -one of my favorites is the Kuro-tan one on the first page) It's hard not to love him. CLAMP has a knack for creating very intricately developed characters. I instantly thought of him when Watanuki lost his eye. Ooh, that's an interesting theory. Mine is that Syaoran and Watanuki are the-oh, what's the term? The people that share the same soul in different worlds. I think they are like that, although your theory brings up a very interesting point. Toya's hair is black, while Sakura's is light brown. Coincidence? As we have learned, there's no such thing. ;) I really want to know what ended up happening to the country (Toya in particular) after the attack of the goons.

I spend a fair amount of time there, but I haven't looked through YouTube to find the series. What are some good users for it? I wish I spoke Japanese, so subs please. Some of the fight scenes in the book get confusing, so I feel they'll be easier to understand animated. It took me a while to find the link-if it was a snake it would have bit me-but the video was amazing. Very well done by whomever made it.

Thank you! A netfix envelope came, and I got all excited but it was just Michal Clayton. Oh well. It should come soon. I do like watching the animes dubbed, but I make a round with each (only if the anime was good of course, which I fully expect this to be)

I would go on more too, but that would be ridiculous. Toodles!

P.S-I searched, but I couldn't find the typo. Before I go nuts, what was it?

So, I just started my quest to acquire the four Roswell books that take place where the show ended, and wow! Have you looked into purchasing the two you don't have? The cheapest I've seen "A New Begging" for is $63 (hang on tight to your copy)! And people are asking $200+ for "Turnabout", and most of them are ex-lib copies! Ouch! Anyway, I ordered Nightscape and Pursuit, hopefully that will fill the Roswell void for now. Do you know what the deal with the other two is? Did they just not print that many or what? I just want to read them, not sell my organs to science to own them ... can you imagine havening the most expensive book in your library be a mass market paperback that originally sold for $6? LOL

Hello there! No, I don't mind you asking at all. :-) First off, I discovered by going to wikipedia, that the DVDs are being released along with limited edition volumes of TSR #21, 22, & 23 - #21 was released in Nov 07, #22 was released in Jan 08, and #23 will be released in March 08.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsubasa:_Re...

I buy most of my imports from JPQueen.com. I've always had really good results with this company, which carries new and used items. Currently they are carrying only the V.21 limited edition, here: http://www.jpqueen.com/onlineshop/produc...

However, once you've created an account, you can request that they add a new copy of V.22 limited edition to the store, here: http://www.jpqueen.com/onlineshop/produc....

They're usually really good about honoring requests, especially for newer stuff. To give you more of a chance, I'll also request it. Since I've been a memeber (and a big spender) for over 5 years, my request might get more notice. I hope this helps you out. :-)

I don't usually read adventure novels, so he recommended I start with Wild Chance because he introduces a teen girl character in that book.

Sherrilyn Kenyon was good and bad. She is a wonderful speaker, very funny - though I think she might lay it on a little thick. She must have had two jokes for every question that was asked, it sounded like stand up comedy. But I really enjoyed her. However, it was bad because I never got near her. People must have shown up quite early to see her, and the bookstore handed out numbered tickets to get the book signed. I, unfortunately had to work that day and didn't get out to the bookstore until about 10 minutes after she started talking. By 10pm she was only on person number 30 out of 70 tickets and I had to catch the metro home before the stations closed. So I didn't get my book signed. *sad*

But she was really entertaining and my friend and I had fun. Hopefully I'll get to see her again sometime and actually get to talk to her.

I didn't make it very far reading some of the comments about self-pub in the Writing Readers group. Some of them were very discouraging and almost mean. I am oh so tired of hearing "just work on your skill" because if agents and publishers discard your work without reading it, how does skill help you?

I recently started a customer discussion on Amazon for self-pubbed authors and have had a more positive response than I see here.

Just curious if you've ever read The Spectrum Chronicles by [[Thomas Locke]], [Light Weaver], [Dream Voyager], [Path Finder], and [Heart Chaser]

These are a YA scifi/fantasy series and often sold as Christian Inspiration, but I've never had a problem enjoying them just as straight fantasy (like the Chronicles of Narnia).

Unfortunately, they may be out of print, I know I had trouble getting my copies and that was several years ago. But I'm sure there are used bookstores out there that carry them or the library! Anyway, I've always loved them ;-p And wondering if you had read them too!

P.S. I went out and bought Tinker (because you seemed to like it so much). I'll let you know what I think when I finally get through all of my library books!

hmm, Michell Rowan; I would say somewhere in between. Not as fluffy as MJD, closer to Macalister. I'm almost done with The Good, The Bad and the Undead and I think Harrison is kinda a cross between Macalister (less frivolity, more drama) and Laurell Hamilton(minus the nonstop boinking). She has a strong female character that's a witch and it has vamps, demons, elves, pixies and fairies to boot. Pretty good if you don't mind a tad bit of mild thriller like in Hamilton's books.

Hi, again, DL ~ Awhile back, someone in one of the groups asked me if "Self-Editing for Fiction Writers" was good. Was that you? If so, then the answer is definitely "yes."

I think every writer should have it on their shelf and that it should be de rigeur for beginning writers. (Judging by "The Shadow Within," it's not de rigeur for you, but it's a good reference book when you can't decide on rewrite whether something works.) :)

It's clear and concise and contains lots of examples covering all the important things such as dialogue mechanisms, pov, interior monologue, "show and tell," characterization and exposition, etc. that often get ignored by beginners and even, sometimes, by pros. It has good exercises at the end of each chapter ~ a few pages of error-filled prose that can be edited according to the lesson in the chapter. I find it very helpful.

Lähettänyt: Storeetllr 2:09 pm (EST) Dec 10, 2006

Hi, DL ~ Never finished Dark Side of the Moon ~ didn't like it enough, and I was otherwise pretty busy. I think I started reading it when NaNo was looming, and I was more interested in getting ready for that. So, the answer to your question is, no, I never did read Night Pleasures, although now that you mention it, it's going on my TBR list, since you gave it such a good review.

The writing's good, the story's great!, I really like all the characters, esp. the main four (even Reece, after his comeuppance, but not not not Amber ~ what a nasty wench) (and not Jessie's father, the jerk; her mom's well rid of him) ~ obviously, I'm way into the characters. :) I should be finished with it by the end of the day, and I'll put up a review on my page.

I think the first is Goddess by Mistake. Cast doesn't list them in her books so I'm not certain and I'm hoping they can be read in any order. I don't know if you should start there( Goddess by Mistake) because I haven't heard much about that book. I picked up everything Barnes & Noble had, which wasn't much: Goddess of Spring, Goddess of the Sea and Goddess of the Rose. I went Borders and they had nothing. You might have more luck on Amazon if you're interested. Goddess of Spring envolves Percephone and Hades and has raving reviews all over the web. Tell me what you think when you get around to them.

Have you ever read anything by Caroline B. Cooney? She has some really good vampire books called The Cheerleader, The Return of the Vampire, and The Vampire's Promise. I thought they were really good because you felt like you were actually a part of the story. In each, a girl was longing to belong and fit in. When the vampire helps them, they realize that he doesn't care about them, just their blood. There are some good life lessons. I too love the Georgia Nicolson Diary books. They are just so funny. I can't help but wonder where the author got all of the crazy "code names" for things. It is quite funny to use them with friends and then realize that half of the people around you know what you are talking about. Right now I am reading Godless for Book Club and it is pretty good. I love a book that makes you laugh out loud. One of my all time favorites is The Blue Girl by Charles de Lint. It falls under that paranormal catagory that you like. I think it's more of a fantasy/fairy obsession than anything else but it is really intense. I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it.

Ok...well it is not an easy book to discribe because so much happens but the main focus is about the lives of Claire and Jamie and in the first book it is about how they meet and come together. Claire is a nurse married to a man named Frank Randell in 1946 at the end of the war. They go to Scotland for a second honeymoon because they spent the war apart from each other. During the vacation, Claire goes by herself to the standing stones to watch women preform some sort of ceremony and when she gets close to the stones she hears a buzzing and is taken back in time to the 1740's or so. She ends up meeting Jack Randell (her husband's ansestor) and eventually Jamie who she later marries (wonderful, long, complicated story. Cannot tell you without giving too much away). The story then continues and there is a great supporting cast throught all the books that add so much color to the story and you can also tell it was well researched. It is told from Claire's perspective. It is a long story with a lot of little things that make you feel as though Claire and Jamie are old friends of yours. I think that is part of why it is so popular. Overall it is a fantastic story and I feel it has only drawn me in more as I read on. There are some extremely powerful moments in the second and third book that stay with me always. In every book there is something major that will effect you whether it will make you laugh or cry. I truely recommend that you read it and would even be willing to send you my copy of the first book Outlander. It is a worn edition but in good reading shape but I think I am read for a collectable signed hardback for my collection. Let me know and thanks for the interest. I just LOVE these books more than anything else. They are that good.

I read A Certain Slant of Light in a very short time. I really enjoyed it. I thought the author is AMAZING to have come up with that idea. We talked a little about original ideas before and this is one of the cases where the author was completely unique. (I think anyway) There were times that my heart strings were being tugged. Several times I was teary eyed. The fact that she was Mr. Brown's muse was so touching. When she left him and went with the young man that could see her in class I thought I was going to die. I'm so glad they found her a body and that they got together, but I didn't know if I was going to be able to handle it at the end. I guess the end was the one part that I didn't like. I'm trying to remember what I didn't like about it, but it might have been that it ended too easy? Or too quick? I've loaned it out to several people since then and they have all loved it and it is out now so I can't look back to check the ending. What do you think? DId you like it?
