In a moment of insanity...

So, we had our cable cut for about a week. Out of this, I have arrived at a few truths that I have decided to share with those who care:

1. Babylon 5 is the best show on TV. Bar none. And this does include Deep Space Nine.
2. Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure is my favorite anime.
3. Slayers is funny. (Should really look into getting more of it)
4. Final Fantasy X is my favorite Final Fantasy.
5. I will never underestimate the advantages of having cable TV.
6. "Ivanova is God. And if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out."

It's mine...my precious. *Begins Gollum cough*

I finally have a new copy of the TNG Tech Manual! And, it's mine, not something I borrowed from my mother for long streches of time. It's mine!

*Does the happy Star Trek geek dance*

Well, we're around halfway through the MF season, so since I've done a lot of looking into into the MagiRanger toy line, (and buying a little of it) and having bought a lot of the Mystic Force line, I'm doing another comparision of the differences between them. Note, again...I only own the MagiPhone from the MagiRanger toy line, as such, my observations of the Magi toy line are just that: Observations. Take as you will.

( Changing overwhelming courage into magic! )

Also, I may update this as I further complete my Mystic Force collection. Just a heads up about that.

Well, I decided to write some Magiranger fanfiction, which is scary inofitself, since my only other attempt...well, it wasn't so good. However, I have an actual idea this time, and will be posting it slowly over time. Note, though: These would be rough, and you may see conversations in script format. Trust me, by the time I finish, it will be in a proper story format. Now, to start, the major action scene/spell learning momemt.

Dark Bragel fell to the ground, cursing Burning Wolkaiser and Saintkaiser for destroying one of Selphir's steeds. However, he didn't have long before Isamu and Kai stepped forward to face.

"Stop right there, Infershia!" Kai yelled.

"N Ma. What you did...completly unforgiveable." Isamu said. He was looking squarely at this evil version of himself, everything he hated and fought against rolled up into this evil form of himself.

"If we're going to do this, then let's begin," Dark Bragel said, pulling out his UuzaPhone and dialing 1-0-6 on it, then yelled, "MADOU HENSHIN! Uuza Uru Uuzarra!" Wolzard once more stood before the forces of light.

"The enveloping darkness element! Dark Magic Knight, Wolzard!"

Kai and Isamu dialed 1-0-0-6 on their MagiPhone and FireUuzaPhones, preparing to transform. Kai said, "Heavenly Saints, grant me the power of magic!" while Isamu said nothing.

"CHOU MAHOU HENSHIN! Maagi Magi Magi Magiiro!" Came from Kai, as he changed into Legend MagiRed.
"Chou Tenkuu Henshin. Goolu Golu Golu Goludiiro." Came from Isamu, as he changed into Wolzard Fire.

"The roraring flame element! Magician of the Red, Legend MagiRed!"
"The fercious, raging fire element! Heavenly Hero, Wolzard Fire!"

Okay, I was chatting online last night, and watched the Tsubasa fight scene in Bride of Infershia. Well, I said that the scene was badass. Well, someone (SmokeJaguar in this case) disagreed with me, leading to this:

(SmokeJaguar) I'm more badass than some fool gunning people down on a rocket-propelled broom.
(SmokeJaguar) Duh. :P
(d_magiciantotter) Okay. How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion?
(SmokeJaguar) Are you a mathematicion?
(d_magiciantotter) Are you?
(SmokeJaguar) Or even a mathematician.
(SmokeJaguar) Why do you ask?
(d_magiciantotter) Well, you asked me. Seems only fair to ask the same of you.
(SmokeJaguar) Why?
(d_magiciantotter) Because, if you're going to be tossing any form of math (which I'm better than Aina, at, but...it's Aina, so...) at me, I'd like to know that what you would say would be credible.
(SmokeJaguar) Well, if you aren't a mathematician, why should I bother explaining how I arrived at my conclusion?
(d_magiciantotter) 'Cause I know a fair deal of math myself, and I'm interested.
(SmokeJaguar) Okay. First, I established my awesomeness as X.
(d_magiciantotter) Right.
(SmokeJaguar) Then, I multiplied that factor by all the awesome things I've done in my life.
(d_magiciantotter) Okay. Two things: What was the resulting factor and how did you arrive at it?
(SmokeJaguar) It was too great a number. I'm still coming out to it.
(SmokeJaguar) But by simply jumping ahead to the second half of the equation, I established the badass-ity of some dude gunning people down on a broomstick as Y.
(d_magiciantotter) Okay.
(SmokeJaguar) Then by subtracting the sheer gayness that a broomstick represents, it became clear that X was greater.
(SmokeJaguar) Thus #X > Y - Gay.
(SmokeJaguar) Gay representing all the possible cooler alternatives the dude could be riding as opposed to a broomstick.
(d_magiciantotter) Ah, but in order to estlabish the "Gay" factor, you would first have to see the scene with the jet-broom, and then you would have to understand the character riding it. Thus, without that information, "Gay" can only equal 0. Therefore, since killing evil is much greater than anything you've ever done, Y > #X.
(d_magiciantotter) How many semis would you like me to send through the hole in your logic? XP
(SmokeJaguar) For pride purposes, as few as possible. :P
(d_magiciantotter) This is why you don't mess with the quiet ones. They'll destroy you with logic.

^_^ I seldom get to destroy people with logic. And Math, so this made me happy. (In his pants)

MaigPhone! I have a MagiPhone!

HA! Once again, I trimpuh over technology!

A Smoky plushie, perhaps?

Hello, again...I thought that, since I actually have these figures, I'd post a combined review of all the SPD team sans Omega.

( Poseability )

( Prettiness )

( Weaponary )

( Judgement Time! )

With this, review complete. Super cool! (Yes, I have seen Dekaranger. So sue me)

Okay, let's get things out of the way first. I am a geek. Now that that's out of the way: I first downloaded and listened the Dekaranger Opening a while ago and decided that I didn't like it. This was at ATC, where I can take advantage of its high-speed connection. Fast forward awhile, and I downloaded it again. A half-hour later, with a Valar-only known number of kick-offs on part of AOL, I downloaded it again. And I liked it. So, it's the first song on my playlist. (Ignore the fact that all the Sentai/PR songs on it are in chronological order. >_>)

Now, to create an Abaranger/Dino Thunder icon for my use...What? I told ya I was a geek.

I know, it's weird that I posted one of these...still, I like it.

Parody Sue. Greatest. Thing. That've I've found yet.

Yes, I've had an idea. According to someone on that Lord of the Rings community, (yes, I joined it. Did you expect anything else from me?) there's a book out there that includes information on the organization of the Last Alliance. Well, until I can get ahold of it, this is my best guess as to what that organizational structure looks like.

Head Commander/Commander of the forces of Lindon-Gil-Galad
Commander, forces of Greenwood the Great-Oropher(sp?)
Head Commander of Numneorian forces/Commander of the forces of Arnor-Elendil
Commander, Eastern Gondorian forces-Isildur
Commander, Western Gondorian forces-Anarion

On another note, during the wars that took the Alliance toward Mordor, I kinda get the impression that Gil-Galad and Elendil hung back, while Oropher, Isildur, and Anarion commanded from the front line. This would account for the deaths of Oropher and Anarion, at the Dead Marshes and the seige of the Barad-Dur, respectivly.

In other news, less than a month until Return of the King (Thetrical Cut) comes out on DVD! Yay!

Yes, I finally got one of these...now, as everyone who knows me will testify, I said for the longest time, I did not forsee a reason to get one. Well, now I have a reason: Lord of the Rings musings! Duh-duh-dunn!!!

...Sorry.
