What I Learned on Wednesday

I learned that when someone says that your car will be fixed in time to get to university, what they actually mean is "your car wont be fixed until mid-day on Thursday and you'll have a powercut around about midnight that will mess all your clocks up so you fail to wake up on time oh and also a bunch of people you live near will die and there will be a car accident on a major road to slow you down even more and when you get to university on the following Thursday all your group members will hate you and mistakenly believe you can't hear them mentioning how horrible you are to work with."

I was informed by magical pixies, however, that you should not hide your face and mumble a lot when giving a presentation. Something you should do is address your audience and engage them, making sweeping eye contact and speaking clearly. I found it interesting how anime seems more open about anthropomorphism while western cartoons seem to use it mainly for children and young teenagers, though, something pointed out to me by Matt, Ash and Jordan. Hurrah.

Oh, oh, oh! I've been watching Soul Eater recently. It's an awesome anime about these kids training under Death. Some of them are 'meisters' and some are 'weapons.' Those who are weapons transform into actual weaponry (the titular character turns into a scythe) and those who are meisters use the power of their souls to match "wavelengths" with the weapons to use them in combat. It's not just meaningless fighting either, its their duty to collect souls that have become so corrupt they're ready to become "kishin eggs" which will give rise to some badass evilry right there. It's also a meister's duty to feed their weapon 99 kishin souls and 1 witches soul so they they can become a death-scythe, for use by Lord Death himself. Pretty gripping stuff. It's also really funny, which is generally the way to hold my attention for more than thirty seconds.

Bit of jokey fanart there for ya

Also, if anyone knows what the hell is going on with classes starting tomorrow, please tell me soon, because I have no idea.
