Hehe, I'm just joking...kind of...but I'm not joking about the six fingers part. Takeshi Obata accidentally drew Takada with six fingers!

But that's okay--it's Takada. I just happened to find this picture while searching "Takeshi Obata" and I had to show it Well, everyone makes mistakes....

Yeah, starting this Wednesday (Ash Wednesday) is Lent, and as a Catholic I gotta give up a habit for the 40 days of Lent...the purpose of which is to replace that habit with something productive! (like if I spend too much money on junk food, I'd give up junk food for 40 days and give the money that I'd otherwise waste on chips and stuff to a homeless family on the street, or buy them a McDonald's breakfast or something Or put in the collection plate at Mass) And hopefully, that time we spent without the thing we gave up will help us spend less time doing it even after Easter. And also, you know, the 40 days is for the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert before his death, that's mainly what's it's about, actually.

So, as you may have already figured out, I'm giving up TV.com for forty days. I spend quite a bit of time here so I decided to give it up and use my newly gained time to get in shape for track season So yes, Death Note forums (as well as other forums), you'll have to go forty whole days without me and my recently bashing ways *ignores celebration party in DN forum* But never fear, I shall return! BTW, I'm only doing this to explain my 6 1/2 week absence. I mean, it would be pretty rude to disappear for almost two months after coming practically every day without even explaining, right?

So today and tomorrow are me last days here until Easter...so goodbye for now!

Oh yeah, and my rating for Cloverfield: 10/10. I watched it twice! And for those of you who hated Cloverfield: it's over your head!

NO! I LOVE THE INTERNET! I'M A NERD!

But here're some things I don't like about it (not in any real order):

1. Arguing. I like arguing (a little too much, actually), but a recent internet fight (you know who you are ) got me thinking: arguing over the internet is stupid and pointless! She said she won't keep it going anymore, so that's when it hit me: no matter how damn much I argue, no one will be willing to change their opinion! And no one (including myself, no point in denying it) is willing to just respect someone else's thoughts. Saying "I like oatmeal cookies...with raisins!" can start an argument on the internet. Stupid, right? Plus, I argue better when I'm actually speaking to the person face-to-face

2. Porn. Yes, all decent people hate pop-ups that show lady parts (well, decent guys won't look for more than 10 seconds when they're alone )

3. Horrible grammar and spelling. I can forgive a misspelled word here and there, we're not perfect. But typing liek dis iz jst wrng. I am almost a Grammar Nazi but I really don't care about using "whom." No one says "whom"! But come on, it's not that hard to remember the difference between to, too, and two & there, their, and they're (I make that mistake, too. But only if it's a typo ).

4. People who make lists like this. I mean, who cares, right? God...

5. How people "fall in love" in a chatroom or on MySpace. That should be self-explanatory. In so many ways.

6. How parents (usually moms) blame the internet for their child(ren)'s behvior. You're the one who gave them the computer/internet connection, lady. If your kid's misbehaving, you have no one to blame but yourself. But parents of rotten kids always have something or someone to blame, the internet is just one item on a very long list (one mom blamed her kids' rotten behavior on Lucky Charms! Cereal! That's just stupid.)

7. Although the internet does make our lives more entertaining and easier, I worry that it's just making us lazy and stupid. People in the past had to entertain themselves in other ways, ways that were actually better for them. And to write a report, people had to go to the library and do a lot of research for material. Now it's just type in some keywords and click. People are even grocery shopping online...what the hell is that?

Would anyone care to add to the list while they're replying?

....that there's still people in the world who hate Hannah Montana as much as I do! I mean, I know everyone with ears hates Hannah/Miley, but this is just...wow.

This morning on the radio news I heard that a teenage boy was arrested for an attempted terrorist attack (something like that). He wanted to hijack a plane he so he could crash it into a Hannah Montana concert! Sorry, couldn't get more info... That boy is a savior to everyone with ears! It would've been so awesome if he'd succeeded! But then, other people who aren't at fault would've also been killed (after all, it's not their fault their ears don't work). I wonder how Miley would feel if she hears about this

Let's all give a big round of applause for anti-Hannahnites
