FFXIV
Fack FFXIV, you're making it more and more difficult for me to saying no to playing you during the school year.
ARG! WHAT TO DO?!
168 Hours
We only have 168 hours of life each week. 168 hours. That's it. In planning for next year, I decided to chart out how my time is going to be spent in a typical week. And it's looking much more different now that bussing is no longer part of the equation... :)
AE10 AMV Contest
Just because the AMVs have been the highlight of Anime Evolution (AE) for me in recent years, I've compiled a post with as many of the contest entries as I could find (with asterisks (*) marking my favorites as noted during the AMV contest after only one view):
The Climb
Driving his dirt-covered jeep, he looked forward to Mount Dione--the bearer of his future. After some time, he found himself pulling up to the foot of the mountain. He excitedly hopped out of his vehicle and began to remove his preparations for the bright future ahead of him. With his backpack full of food and supplies, he departed from his Jeep and commenced his ascent to the top of Dione.
Update: Registration Dates
I got my registration date, which also means that I didn't get kicked out of the Faculty of Science 8D
YAY ME!
Textbooks For Sale
Thought I might as well try this since I got a few e-mails from the bookstore saying they're running short on textbooks...
I have the following textbooks available for sale. I'm trying for 60% off the UBC Bookstore's price, but prices are negotiable. Prices are less than 60% of the UBC Bookstore's prices. Send me an e-mail [textbooks at tylersuzukinelson dot com] to inquire about any textbooks.
PS: All textbooks are in excellent condition unless otherwise stated.
Science can answer moral questions
As found on the Terry* website:
...this summer will resume the morality debate...
NSERC USRA
Yesterday, I found out that I was awarded a 2010 NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) USRA (Undergraduate Summer Research Award) 8D Thus, I will be working full time at UBC with marine microbes this summer :) It promises to be a summer much more fun than courses (yes, finally, a break!) :)
On a celebratory note, here's a video that my sister took of nos chats :)
On a side note, I re-did my website layout this morning. It looks more fun than my old layout. The menu is supposed to look like a film roll, but the images sort of take away the effect... ...thus it's only abstractly a film roll :P Also, I was going to put pictures of me up, but after analyzing Facebook and re-concluding that I have the amazing ability to be photogenic 0 seconds per annum, I instead put up pictures of my cat and Tarutaru until I manage to beat fate. Here's the link if you want to check it out: www.tylersuzukinelson.com
PS: Apologies if you don't like Evanescence XD I only just created a YouTube account, and I saw that you could add music, so I couldn't resist :)
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
So, somebody finally introduced me to a J-Drama (Japanese drama)... ...and I unfortunately got hooked... *cough*thanksmeghan*cough*
Anyhow, this J-Drama is called Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, or more commonly known as Hana Kimi. The drama is a romantic comedy based on the manga by Nakajo Hisaya. Ashiya Mizuki, the protagonist, got surrounded by gangsters one day, yet she escapes unharmed thanks to the help of Izumi Sano, a top high school high-jumper who happened to be passing by. Unfortunately, Sano got injured when trying to escape the gangsters, and stopped jumping as a result. Mizuki, convinced that it's her fault that he stopped high-jumping, decides to move from California to Japan where she attends Sano's school (Osaka High) in order to try to get him to high-jump again. However, Osaka High is an all-male school, with enrolment limited to good-looking males. Thus, Mizuki cuts her hair and disguises herself as a boy as she tries to accomplish her goal.
On Modern Religion
I've been looking for a quote I once read to include in this post, but I have yet to find it. It is about the irrationality/stupidity of believing in something without evidence. That is, although you have no evidence of such, you could believe that the hamburger you had for dinner last night was actually the ground up remains of your best friend. It is not an impossible proposition. However, unless you have evidence to believe so (direct evidence; your not seeing your best friend since the previous afternoon is not sufficient evidence), the belief would be, I hope you agree, a rather irrational thought.
Fanlisting Page Moved
Just a note, like my book page, I have moved my page of fanlistings to my other website; it can now be found at www.tylersuzukinelson.com.
Yuki Kajiura Live 2008.07.31
Omg. I hate how I don't have a Region 2 DVD player. My mom brought me back a concert from Japan... ...but our DVD players are Region 1 and won't play it! :( Anyhow, here are my favorite bits from the concert (thus far, at least)...
PS: Give them a listen. Their voices and the instrumentation I find incredible for a live concert (not that I'm biased or anything)...
