Star Wars: Episode III | Episode III Trailer: Online, On Screens and On TV
Ed was fun today. Monday's have 2 teaching episodes where students teach whatever they want. Today, a student taught us about nouns, verbs, and adjectives. After we're done we discuss it. Now, whenever someone teaches anything that's shop, art, sometimes music, and sometimes literature, Dr. Curtiss has to ask "Why do we need to learn this?" or "Who cares?" and even though he says he's trying to encourage discussion, it's rather obvious that he has little appreciation for these subjects.
Anyway, somehow we got to the topic of teaching English in every class and the row of shop kids in the back thought that they shouldn't have to assign papers in shop. Makes sense, people learn by doing. He did not like this idea. We spent a long time discussing whether shop teachers should assign writing exercises. Dr. Curtiss even said that he would not wnat those kids to be teachers if they did not assign writing in shop. After a while, people stopped caring and the discussion moved on. It was funny to hear this debate, though and it made my day.
Well I went to Gretna today. The Toy Liquidators didn't have much but there was a Goldmember action figure that tempted me, maybe next week. I went over to Toys R Us and found the DVD Trivial Pursuit for Lord of the Rings. OK LOTR fans, now go get it! They had a super-posable Boba Fett (which the "vintage" style figures are leaving the racks very quicky being replaced by sneak previews). I'm still looking for Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper. I think the Episode III Vader may be a repack though. If you see any, let me know. I went over to Barnes and Noble. Their website had America (the book) listed for $15, but I saw no notice that this was reduced from $25 anywhere, so I hestiated.
Other than that, I'm done. I can't wait to get back to my stress-filled week next week. Let's see: Government test questions I want to know by Monday, FCS article review on Thursday, 3 readings due for Psych on Thursday, Email thingy for SPED due Tuesday, Sped article review on Thursday. Plus tests on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Yippey!
Also, I have one free song to iTunes. What should I download?
Coming Soon! posted some more pics from Episode III. Check it out:

OK, the weirdest thing just happened. I'm going to try to censor myself because I don't want to potentially embarrass anyone. I got an IM from a guy in my high school graduating class tonight asking if I liked his display picture (supposedly of his penis) and said if I wanted to go out. I told him that I'm not interested and he said to email him if I change my mind. OK, I'm trying to censor myself because I have the suspicion that this was either someone else on his name or he was inebriated, which is an unnecessarily fancy word for drunk or was high, cracked up, doped up, etc. I did check with Claire to see if I have the right email and I do so now I'm confused. This kid is not by any means gay and my user name is not that ambiguous. So I'll just leave it at that.
I'm so excited! I start my field experience tomorrow for professional education! I'm going to Wayne High and sit in on the social studies class from 1-3pm. My schedule is going to be so busy on Tuesdays and Thursdays now. I have Psych at 9:30-10:45, FCS at 11-12:15, lunch, FieldEx from 1-3, Sped from 3:30-4:45, (then I have Sci-Fi from 5-5:30 on Tuesdays)! Oh well, it will be worth it. I'll also be there from 1:00 to the end of the day on Fridays. So I'm looking at around 6 hours per week and I need 25 hours to pass ProfEd.
My teacher is so cool, too. He basically said I can do whatever I want when I'm there. I could go to the middle school, go to another class, possibly see my old RA Tony, or even wander the halls for two hours if I want. But that would suck. I'm considering going in some MWF from 10-11am-ish because I saw distance learning classes from Mead on the schedule with Mr. Rutt and Jenny Kocian, hehe.
There was a reason why it took me 2 months to put up site news, because whenever I done, something new gets in my head.
First: New Online Status
I finally got around to removing the white pixel shadow around the images so I can have them where I intended, the sidebar. For some reason, the online status site wasn't working correctly and I was waiting for the code to appear so I can use my own images.
Second: Offsite Linking
This is something I'm happy about. Now I have my random quotes and and links/category links offsite, so I can edit them without having the redeploy the template, which takes forever. They're now on GeoCities which updates instantly so I can add to them and save time. The Links code looks like crap thanks to JavaScript, but I take what I can get.
Now: Category Revisions
Two new categories
Time for another fundraising shout-out. ACM is selling wristbands to support our Computers for Uganda cause.
They cost $5 and you can get them from me. For more information, click here.

It seems like I'm on a Trivial Pursuit kick, but ever since I found the Episode I version a few years back, I've been excited for an update. Anyways, Rebelscum posted more pics of the Toy Fair that had an opened box view of the game. The categories are different colors and in a different order so intersorting is definetly out. Another thing I noticed is that the board has no Hyperspace spaces which allow you in the first game, to go to any space on the board. Oh well, I'll get used to that. I'm so excited.
Rebelscum also had an open box view of the Saga Monopoly. Unfortunately, there was no view of the Risk opened. That's the one I'm curious to see how the map is done. To see all the pics, click the title link.
ComingSoon! has posted some great pictures of scenes and toys. They also put up some spoilers, not as good as the others but it was still interesting.

Also, Star Wars.com posted pictures of the Hasbro toy lineup and including an interesting oddity. One of the pictures (shown below) showed the game collecton. The Risk and Monopoly look the same, but the Trivial Pursuit is in different packaging than previously thought here. The original one had a blue tone with the stylized Vader mask. This one has more of an orange tone with a standard Vader mask and a character montage. Not anything to worry about necessarily, but interesting to note.

Well, it's finally happened. Ever since TechTV merged with G4 I had a feeling they would get screwed. After the merge, G4 dropped several TechTV shows including Call For Help and that made me sad. Then they started revamping The Screen Savers every other month. Well, today I went to The Screen Savers' site to find out they completely dropped the "TechTV" from G4TechTV. If you've ever watched the station in its golden days, it was awesome and now there's little of it left. I'm sure by summer when I'll be able to see it, The Screen Savers will have mutated into something completely different that what it used to be. Oh well, I need a life beyond TV.
The other day TheForce.Net posted the new Revenge of the Sith line of toys. They went into detail about the Trivial Pursuit Star Wars DVD version coming in April.
"TRIVIAL PURSUIT® DVD Star Wars SAGA EDITION Game
(Approximate Retail: $49.99, Recommended Age: 10 & up)
The TRIVIAL PURSUIT® DVD Star Wars Saga Edition game combines traditional game play, modern DVD technology, and questions from all six Star Wars movies in six new categories - The Cantina; The Force; Heroes, Villains & Scoundrels; The Saga; A Galaxy Far, Far Away...; and Hyperspace. With over 2,400 questions, including 600 interactive questions on two DVDs, this game is sure to appeal to every Star Wars fan. Special to this game will be up to 20 DVD questions that will feature selected Star Wars' fans acting out various scenes from the Star Wars saga."
Read about all of them here.
So they changed the categories meaning I can't intersort the questions. Unless they make them similar to the original like:
Characters = Heroes, Villians, & Scoundrels
Weapons & Vehicles = The Force
History = The Saga
Geography = A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Droids, Creatures, & Aliens = The Cantina
Wild Card = Hyperspace
One can only dream... Oh well, the official site posted up pics of decor, Sith style here. There's some of these I want, but like most toys, they won't be out until April 2 giving me a month to use them on campus.
This post is a long time coming, but I think I'm all done.
First the big update: Categories
Because the week archives are piling up, I decided to create subject categories so you can find old posts or if you want to catch up. These are listed on the right after the links.
I love ComingSoon! There's another update with some awesome pics, some might be spoiler-ific, but they're really cool. There's also pics of new toys and some more text spoilers.

This is a cool site. It shows almost every name you could think of and tells you when they were popular by decade as baby names in a fun interactive way. It has most names, but if you get a little too off the wall, it won't have it. I figured it wouldn't have my mom's name because her parents are the only ones who spell it Kellee. It requires Java, so everyone's probably got it, but if it doesn't work, go to www.java.com

Team America: World Police played in Gardner Auditorium tonight and I had to go see it. I love how you can tell certain voices are from South Park. It was a very fun thing to watch. I may have been the only one to notice on WSC that the tavern scene was a send up of the Star Wars cantina scene with similar camera shots and the same music, only backwards. I also like the retarded "Matt Damon" character.
There are three scenes that make the movie:
"You like shaving your armpits, Hayley? 'Cuz when the terrorists take over, that's the first thing to go." - Stan Smith

"Oh for Allah's sake, put some clothes on." - Arab sitcom star
"Check it out, the eraser is stuck up Bin Laden's pooper." - Stan Smith
"Wanna go back to my apartment and pet my schnouzer? Then later we can play with this dog." - Man on street
"Could you downplay our relationship in your public addresses?" - God to Bush
"Ooh, that's Cheney, I gotta take it. Hello, sir." - God
"Sorry, Steve, no dog. I'd be more than glad to get you an Etch-a-Sketch." - Stan Smith
"Oh God, he's going to pee, oh, oh, oh, no wait, just dust." - Stan Smith
"Don't ask me to bring him back with that E.T. finger thing because that's a load of crap." - Roger
"God, please take this soul up to heaven, becuase he can't walk. He's dead." - Stan Smith
"Aw, I thought I was gonna fart." - Stan Smith
"You know what Shakespeare said. I don't, but you do." - Jeff
"Hilary, look out for the mines!" - Stan Smith to Hilary Duff
"All I know is that he's Jewish but if you give me some churros I could stretch that out to about 12 pages." - Roger about Henry Kissinger
"I want to ride the buffalo!...Now send in the lunch lady." - Steve Smith
"Every sentence must end in a Steve." - Mr. Phillips
"Mr. Phillips can I be excused? I'm having my Steve." - Female student
"It's too risky right now, I'll call back later." - Perverted teacher to frog
"Steve, this comes from years of experience: Women are never right." - Stan Smith
"If you expect to get any boob, it's going to cost you a boadload of Twinkies." - Roger
ComingSoon! has posted some nice spoilers and photos from Episode III. I suggest that if you don't wan tot know much about the movie, don't click this link. If not, enjoy!

Yesterday was awesome. I got my email saying my order has shipped so I'm looking forward to that. I then went to Norfolk because I had a huge urge to get SimCity 4 and looked for a Darth Vader action figure and, instead, found the Sneak Preview figure of General Grievous so I got that. I also picked up some chocolate and Valentines. Unfortunately, now I must not spend money on anything for a while (I say that now and wait a week...).
ComingSoon! reports that Microsoft has signed the writere of 28 Days Later and The Beach to adapt the game into one movie and the scrrenplay would be sold to studios for rights. The article also said how Halo 2 was the second-best selling game of the year and has sold so far half of the copies of Halo. Does anyone know what the best-selling game of 2004 was?

Well, it's official! UPN finally cancelled Enterprise. It was so close to cancellation last year but they made it another year. I wish there is something I can do, but here we get UPN on Saturdays so we don't count toward ratings. SaveEnterprise.com is currently in Tactical Alert to try to help the show and EnterpriseFans.com is currently on bandwidth hiatus. I guess it would be good for Star Trek to take a break and work on getting back to its core. You never know, the DVD sales might help it pull a Family Guy. I know BnB were hot rocks to make a prequel movie probably dealing with the Earth-Romulan War. And then there's syndication...
I really think UPN needs to realize that it's such a crappy network. It is the network that launched Voyager so I'm not suggesting leaving necessarily, but they're always trying to compete with the other major networks who are broadcasted nationally when they need to take what they are given. It gets low ratings because it's up against major shows on major networks and they were all upset that Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi got better ratings.
Well, some good final episodes are coming up including the conclusion of the Romulan arc, the Klingon forehead arc, and the Mirror Universe arc, with the untitled series finale.
