 I was going to save this for Christmas Day, but it's just too great and classic of a video, and I decided to put it up a bit early. <3

And of course, I have to link to an expository file of the event in question. xD

 This will be quite materialistic, in no particular order. xD

...and some other stuff, I'm sure.  I don't really care, these are just the things that popped up in my mind.

It seems like the first few pictures from the new Live-Action Dragonball Movie have been released, showcasing the one and only Justin Chatwin as the main man himself, Goku!

I actually know nothing about Mr. Chatwin, but amazingly, I believe he makes a pretty decent Goku.  Well, more of a modernized, real-world version of Goku, but still Goku, nonetheless.  He's got the orange outfit going for him, an obvious but still great nod to the original Goku, and he's even got a bit of spiky-ness to his hair, even though he looks more like Teen Gohan than Goku.  But hey, what can you do?  At least the movie is actually being made this time.

What interesting poll results. I'm not even sure what to say, really.

Did I ever mention how much I hate the term "X-Mas"?  I really, really cannot stand it.  There is never any reason to use it, it has no relevance to today's society, and it's just a mockery of the actual holiday's name.  December 25th isn't "x-mas"; it isn't "the holidays"; it's really not even the "winter solstice"; it's CHRISTMAS.  Let's keep it that way.

It's obvious as to why people do it, too.  Just because it's shorter than "that other name for December 25th" doesn't make it any easier to use (since we're all used to the actual name by now), nor is it meaningful at all (it deliberately crosses out "Christ", therefore removing all reverence).  It's an insult, really, and I just hold it in complete contempt.  Don't use it in front of me, ever.  I mean it, and I'm dead serious.

And... uhh... I can't really think of anything else to add...

I think I'm going to watch a bit of Digimon Tamers, tonight.  I haven't seen it in years, and it'd be nice to refresh my memory of Digimon in general, since I'm kinda blankin' on specific story events.

But eh, what can you do?  I had schoolwork to finish, a guild thread to write announcing my hiatus, and stuff to take care of.  I should be more diligent, yes, but I'm really, really lazy. xD

I'm sure there might be some guild members who saw my post, and to them, I must ask: do any of you have an account on LiveJournal?  I have no problem with adding anybody who asks of me to my friendslist, just so you know.  I'm totally down for commenting on journal entries and having brief (or in-depth, if you prefer) discussion and conversations!

I'm getting close to finishing Rune Factory pretty soon, here.  I'm in the second-to-last cave, I have pretty decent levels in order to fight the final boss, I think, and as soon as the last cave is finished, I'll be able to marry Mist, and only then will I consider the game finished (as I already have about 500,000 Gold and don't have very many things I can do after marriage, short of having the baby, and even then, that doesn't further the story at all).

I honestly can't wait until Christmas.  Who wouldn't love that day?  Hopefully we won't have any problems with anything, as we kinda have had in the last few years...

I'm thinking of trading in a few DS games in order to buy a Wii Points Card, so that I can purchase a few Virtual Console games.  I was initially thinking of buying Pokemon Snap, but I don't really know... it'd be a short game, with not that much Wii support, and with hardly any Pokemon from the last ten years.  On the other hand, it was still a fun game, but I'm not sure if it's worth the $10.00 I'd have to pay.  Maybe I'll just go with something that's a given, like Super Mario Bros. 3.

John Piper is one of the best speakers I've heard in terms of sheer emotion within the last few years. :3

It was a good Thanksgiving.  We went over and celebrated it at our Uncle's house, which was nice, actually.  Good food, good company, it was all good.

And now, following up on what Daizenshuu EX posted up ("Top Five Anime Series That We'd Rather Have An American Live-Action Movie Made Of"), I'll make my own! :3

Top Five Anime Series I'd Rather See As A Live-Action Movie
1.] Onegai Teacher (I'll play as Kei!)
2.] The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (and I'll play as Kyon!)
3.] Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru (with less fanservice, please)
4.] Kanon (Nayuki's storyline would be preferable)
5.] One Piece (I'd play Sanji, as well!) 

I could go on, but I'm tired right now.  I'll post more tomorrow, don't worry.
