Yes, more politics and Obama, though this is more for my own archival purposes. But if you read anything about US politics this 2008 election cycle, read his speech on race below. The entire thing.

Tuesday, March 18, 2008: Obama on Race: A More Perfect Union - Video and Text

Wednesday, March 19, 2008: Obama on Iraq: The World Beyond Iraq - Video and Text

Thursday, March 20, 2008: Obama on the Economy: The Cost of War - Text

I repeat, Hillary Clinton, what the fuck are you doing?

Considering using super delegates to win the nomination if Obama happens to be leading in pledged delegates was already shady enough, or seating Florida and Michigan's delegates when no one was allowed to campaign in the former and Obama wasn't even on the ballot in the latter, but trying to go after Obama's pledged delegates? I used to consider Democrats who said they'd vote for McCain instead of Clinton if Obama didn't get the nomination petty and short-sighted because Clinton and Obama's policies are still vastly more similar than McCain's Bush version 2 (discounting Independents and Republicans who are crossing the aisle for him) whatever her faults, but if she actually tries this? Probably still wouldn't vote McCain because he's completely nuts about Iraq and Iran, but there's no way I'd be able to vote for her in good conscience.

Fuck you Clinton, just how many bridges are you willing to burn to win the primary and lose the general?

[EDIT] Ahaha, Obama murders Clinton 58% - 41% in Wisconsin.
[EDIT2] And curb-stomps her 76% - 24% in Hawaii, but that was expected considering he's a native son and it's a caucus :D.

Is tomorrow, if you're a Super Tuesday state remember to vote in the primaries :).


I said I wouldn't talk about Smash Brothers anymore, and I lied. Sorry. But I couldn't not show this Kirby Hat Compilation Clip :D.
( Hiiiiiii! )

One Piece 486:

Democratic Presidential Primaries:
Obama wins South Carolina by a margin of 28% ♥.
( His victory speech )
I apologize for all political posts if you're not American, I'm just really excited about the primaries right now :).

For fun, a really awesome music video of Nina Simone's 'Feeling Good'.


Today has been a good day ♥ ♥ ♥.








Except for Fire Emblem. HHM 19 can go die in a fire.

Hope everyone had a happy [insert winter holiday as appropriate]!

And now I'll spam you with pictures! Some parts might actually be interesting if you know what the hell Arashi is.

( I actually took over 300, but I'll spare you the pain XD. )

And that's it! After Japan we went to Taiwan to visit relatives, and one of them was a four year old cousin who, for some reason, really latched on to me. Smart kid, but also a holy terror, likes to glom on to peoples' legs and not let them leave when it's time to XD. He called us last night, told us he had the train set up (kid loves trains, has a billion vehicle related toys) and asked if I could go over and play it with him. How do you explain how far away America is from Taiwan :(? We only go back every two years though, so he probably won't even remember me by the time we're visiting again XD.

Nobuta wo Produce hardsubs, all ten episodes!

And if you read my tl;dr flailing about it and are actually interested but want to try it out before downloading, view it online at crunchyroll or My Soju.

Everyone, go go go!

Will I ever shut up about this? No It is a mystery >_>.

Don't you hate it when you sit down CHOROID PLEXUS to take a test and there's that one question where CHOROID PLEXUS you know the answer and you can picture the diagram and CHOROID PLEXUS but you just can't think of the answer and you know it'll pop in to your head CHOROID PLEXUS the minute you turn it in and now you'll never ever forget it CHOROID PLEXUS thank you, brain, you couldn't have done this WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY TAKING THE TEST A;SLKDFJ;ALSKJD. Also, two midterms this week on top of a lab report due Wednesday please kill me now D:.

To cheer myself up, I watched some awesome killer whale videos. Sharks have nothing on them, because they take the basic 'death tube with teeth' body plan and give it planning, foresight, intelligence, and the ability to work together to take down larger whales many times their size. Nature is awesome :D.
Don't watch the videos if you don't want to see them eating cute mammals >_>.

And I guess I really am all dried out fic-wise, couldn't think of anything to write for Zoro :(. Happy belated birthday anyway Mr. Bushido, I hope we get to enjoy your adventures with the Straw Hats for many years to come ♥.

Currently watching Gokusen and it's really funny, but I'd probably like it a lot more if two of the three most recent dramas I watched hadn't been GTO (Teacher uses unorthodox methods to reform a class of delinquents? Check!) and My Boss, My Hero (Yakuza member has to keep their ties hidden from the school? Check!), and if the drama I watched right before it hadn't been Nobuta wo Produce, which makes most things look worse in comparison. Yankumi's all kinds of awesome though, and Kuma's a giant sweetie pie :).

Also, how great was OP 472?

( ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ )

Here be Nobuta wo Produce discussion, filled with much squeeing and spoilers so no peeking until you've watched the series (hint hint).

( ONLY COOL KIDS ALLOWED PAST THIS POINT )

( Now also under cut, *that* scene from episode 5 for...reference :D )

I always want to end any thought about this series with a ♥, because I just love it so much ♥.

I still love One Piece and keep up with it (no OP this week makes me sad T_T) but I haven't written anything in forever...and that's probably not going to change anytime soon because I am currently desperately in love with Nobuta wo Produce and I will try not to vomit incoherent praises about it all over but I can't promise anything ♥♥♥.

In other news, have a video of an initiation ritual thought up by some crazy people that involves sticking your arms up gloves lined with Bullet Ants--so named because getting stung with one supposedly feels like getting shot. And they do it not once, not twice, but twenty times. Isn't learning new things fun and exciting? :D
