Heh... I loved the alteration of the special event text since I drank the transmutation potion (effectively removing my race)...

Do you want to go down this dark alley?

Okay, here's a tip:

If you plan on having me call you to let you know what time I'm done with my classes, try to either

A) Answer your damn phone when I call five times.
B) Make sure your phone is on so that you can answer when I call another five times.
C) Be in freakin' cell phone range for my next five calls.

They're going to be here at one to pick me up, and I'm not going to get out for another hour. You'd think that when they tell me to call them, they'd make it so that I could actually get through. stressed

"We're sorry, but the current number you're trying to reach is unavailable. Please try again at a later time." stare

Okay.
Scanlation etiquette s**t law stuff question gar. gonk

Manga is not licensed, being scanlated. Manga gets licensed. I plan to buy the volumes of the manga as they're released, and then delete the files that are covered in that volume. The scanlation is already pretty far in, and the English releases won't catch up quickly enough.
Am I allowed to download new chapters, as long as I keep buying the new releases and deleting their respective files? Or no? x__x;
Legally? No. The material has been licensed. This means that any distribution in the english langauge of this product by anyone other than the licenseholder is illegal.

Ethically? Not really either. You're not being a total scumbag since you intend to buy it, but you are going against the intent of fan translations. The group continuing to scanlate it is committing an even greater transgression, as they are violating the spirit of fan translations even more and on a greater scale.


And before someone says it, yes, I understand that scanlations and fansubs are indeed illegal even before licensing occurs, which in my opinion makes a highly ethical approach to things all the more importatnt.
Damn. Ah, well.
How quickly does VIZ release things, then?

They don't seem half bad at it. I think their usual rate is about 1 volume every other month.

That gives me.. about a year until the series catches up to where the scanlations were when it was licensed. I.. guess it could have been longer, but.. mrr. sweatdrop

Conjugality List

Legioness BabetteBijou belongs to Seth.
Squire Mouse belongs to Seth.
VillageIdiot Envy belongs to Seth.

Gladiator FLCL belongs to Violet.
Gladiator foltzy belongs to Violet.
Page Demetri belongs to Violet.
Page Link Starblaze belongs to Violet.
Page Lord Storm belongs to Violet.
Sir Vincent Valentine belongs to Violet.
Squire fallenchild belongs to Violet.


So why is it that these spouses are allowed to polygamize, and not I? scream

That's it... I'm divorcing Seth.
EDIT: You file for a divorce from Seth. In court, your ex-spouse is awarded half of everything you own.

Begin rant.

End rant.

My entire family doesn't believe in me. They want me to go to this local college, learn "middle advanced" computers, get a job in the computer field, and unknown to their knowledge get fired because someone else about knows computers than me. They are making me get straight As this year, retake the SATs to get better scores, and get a scholarship into ODU even though they have me paid for.

The Fasion Institute I want to go into is in NY, the boarding is the same for ODU, and they don't even check your damn SATs. They don't even require a damn essay.

Uncle: So where do you wanna go to college?
Me: A college in NYC.
Grandmother: Yeah, you know where she's going, right? ODU.

Wow, the more I see of Samurai Champloo, the more it disappoints me. confused

Same here. I just don't pay attention to it anymore.

Only reason I even try to watch it now is for Mugen's b atshit crazy fighting style.

Yeah... when he fights, it looks pretty cool.

Don't feel bad, dottie. Your parents just want what they think is good for you, even if it really isn't so. Just stick it out and do your best, and if your parents still don't listen to you, I'd suggest you sit your whole family down for a family meeting and discuss your plans for the future with them.

I'm sorry I cannot offer better advice for you, but your predicament seems much more difficult than most of mine. My study habits suck and I still haven't planned on which college I'll go to. neutral
