I want to chronicle all of the process to get to our costumes and learning all the yummy Japanese Dishes so if you have any advice or recipies oh people of the internet please let me know here or on Yuku.

Science Fiction... Double Feature.. oh oh oh oohhhwooo

Okay internet so this last Monday was my last day of class (! yay) and I have one exam on the 13th (! huzzah). This last exam was for my science fiction class.

If your school offers a science fiction class do not hesitate and enroll it will be the nerdiest fun you'll ever have. Believe it.

Our last class was SO much fun. We did a fast exam review, made a hello video to Professor Paul Fader, the founder of the course, the guy who made it possible to study science fiction at 1000 level! Yeah he obviously = awesome.

Professor Weiss (aka Grammar Man) gave us a Grammar Man rap I plan to upload a video of it because I want to be able to relive the sillyness all the time! It was great science fiction is so awesome and you get to read so many great books and short stories. My Favorite reading had to honestly be Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness. One of my next projects will be to create (either paint or digitally illustrate) a portrait of a Genthenian. I hope to have it done for Anime North next year so I can submit it in the art auction. I realize that it won't be an anime portrait but it is a piece of scifi/fantasy fan art so it counts.

Now on to the double feature part of this post:

WATCH HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

How to Train Your Dragon is honestly the greatest PG movie I have seen since I was a little kid. I like it to the amount if you stuck how much I like Up and 9 together. Then times it by 8. It is SO good. The script is amazing I applaud the person who wrote the script. Especially for Hiccup, the main character is so funny. His voice actor really brings him to life but it is all about the script. I super enjoyed this movie and if you don't see it in the theater I swear I will tie you up and force you to watch it. ^_^

The next kids movie I plan to see is Cloudy With a Side of Meat Balls.

Weell that is all the blogging I have for today, I have to get back to studying for my exam now.


oh P.S. planning for Anime North is well in progress as soon as I know all the details I will be SO happy to chronicle the adventure!
