i don't have sharingan...so sue me...

ah well as the title suggests this is mainly regarding naruto...i understand they've made this a kids show over here in the us of a but it just isn't that kind of show...apparently in japan they watch anime as opposed to soap operas. i can't blame them at all. when i was a freshman at clemson my roommates loved to watch soap operas. i did end up attached to passions for a while but thank god now that's over. anywho back to the anime. i've seen lots of it, not a few as some may imagine but when i say lots, i mean lots. i have the entire elfen lied series on dvd AND i didn't get upset at all when lucy offed all those peeps. don't mess with me, my conscience doesn't agree with you. anywhos back to the point...i really enjoy two animes that are both making their way into our mainstream television - bleach and naruto. bleach is by far my favorite. well naruto is enjoyable to say the least but i have yet to figure out how america is going to handle the intense violence that is inevitable in this show. i have also realized that whichever naruto character you find as your favorite will tell a lot about the type of person you are/or intend to be...anyway, i have been catching up on the series today and just found myself adoring the current storyline. i'm past the time skip and i really appreciate how all the characters have grown at this point. i highly suggest the series in japanese...it's odd to watch it in english at least for me...bleach in english isn't so bad...

eh off to do whatever...enjoy the silence...

slumdog millionaire

well folks - it's the once a week blog for everyone. sorry that it hasn't been more...

slumdog millionaire - 9/10 snaps - normally i'm not a huge fan of the oscars movies and last year i went out and rented there will be blood which by the way does not have nearly enough blood in it to warrant that title but in my opinion nothing in the film was all that fantastic...slumdog however was fantastic. it also makes you really appreciate the fact that you're american. i felt utterly awful about how those indian children were growing up and i have a good many indian friends since they're pretty prevalent in higher education around these parts. spoilers ahead...again consider yourself warned. if you haven't heard about the film besides the oscars, the premise is that an indian boy is trying to find the love of his life [as it has been destined] by becoming a contestant on who wants to be a millionaire in india. i really enjoyed the three musketeers reference throughout the film as my cat is named aremis [although it should be spelled aramis] and so i immediately picked up on it becoming the million dollar question. well written, fantastic acting, captivating...definitely worth a trip to the theater...if not there rent it...you'll enjoy it i promise...

besides that nothing much else going on...research per normal. i've been grouping my sequences and working on getting them into the four different serotypes. shortly i'll be aligning them once i've finished placing them into the correct serotypes.

i've also noticed a huge increase in my interest for music recently. i'll have to delve into that later.

as for now...enjoy the silence...
