Leonid Meteor Shower

2009-11-16T16:05:57Z

One of the best annual meteor showers will peak in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday, and for some skywatchers the show could be quite impressive.

The best seats are in Asia, but North American observers should be treated to an above average performance of the Leonid meteor shower, weather permitting. The trick for all observers is to head outside in the wee hours of the morning – between 1 a.m. and dawn – regardless where you live.
Hopefully it'll actually be clear tonight so I can actually see it. Or try to. Damn it, why are there so many lights around here?

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone's having a fun day. ^^ To celebrate, let us listen to the scariest line in one of my favorite movies... in twenty-sevent different languages!

...What, can't a college student still like The Lion King?

(Small note: In the Thai version of "Be Prepared," the hyenas say "long live the king!" in English. But in this scene, which is supposed to recall to the number, Scar says the line in Thai. I found that interesting.)

I wish I had thought to read this story earlier.

"The Orionid meteor shower is expected to put on a good show tonight into the predawn hours Wednesday, weather permitting.

...The best time to watch will be between 1 a.m. and dawn local time Wednesday morning, regardless of your location."

Damn it, I can't stay up to watch this. I have a midterm tomorrow. D: Hopefully if any of you folks are still awake, you all can.

There's a joke about getting wood that's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite figure out what.

I saw a slug on my way to astronomy this morning. It was really cute. <3

On a less strange note, can anyone recommend a good, safe program that can be used to decompress a .rar file? I'm trying to decide which one to use. Over the weekend I've been try to download an anime in .rar format that vampirenaomirecommended to me, but I have nothing to work with it.ing

Not bad, but I was kind of hoping that I could do a bit better.

Today is a good day. Why is it a good day? It's because the first scans of Dragon Quest VI DS have surfaced, that's why.

So apparently we'll be able to see a meteor shower this evening. I think an earlier article said that roughly around midnight to five a.m. is the best time to watch if you live in North America, although Tuesday evening/early Wednesday morning would probably be an alright time to watch.

To celebrate U.S. Independence Day, I thought I'd share one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. I remember someone commenting that this would be the most over-the-top display of 'patriotism' ever seen or an amazing satire if only it had not been created in Japan.

I got picked in a lottery once. The "prize" involved me getting stoned to death.

Jackie Chan International Part....Two?

2009-04-03T06:54:54Z

Continued from this post, although I had never planned to make a follow-up. I was messing around YouTube a couple of days ago, and I found some things that made me very happy: more JCA dubs.

European Spanish: The Dark Hand (La mano oscura) 1
Brazilian Portuguese: The J-Team (Inimigo Mortal) 1 2

Now I have to confess that I'm not sure which countries handled the dubbing. I think that the Spanish one might be from Spain based on how some of the words are pronounced, but I'm not sure. If more of the series were uploaded, it might be easier to tell. Uploader says more of the series is on his site, but I can't figure out how to find them (and I already asked him if he had the rest of the episode because I apparently can't read, so I'm a bit reluctant to ask again). ~~I can't read the description on the Portuguese play list, so I'm not going to assume whether it's from Portugal or Brazil.~~ Thanks to soumakagura for letting me know the Portuguese dub is from Brazil, and for helping me find the rest of the Spanish episodes.

I personally think that the voices given to Jackie in Spanish and Jade in Portuguese suit them really well.

~~(And someone finally uploaded episode seven in English, yes! I was so sad to see it was missing)~~
--------

In other news, last night I started reading the Sailor Moon manga online to see how it compared to the anime. I'm ashamed to say I was up until about five in the morning finishing the Dark Kingdom arc. I should know better than to do something like that during the school week. But yes, I really enjoyed it. I'll be honest: I already think that it's better than that arc in the anime. (The anime from what I've seen is not bad, but the sheer amount of filler is staggering. I mean, I know why there is so much, but at times the show seems to go like this:

"Oh noes a youma is stealing energy/after the Rainbow Crystal/trying to get the Silver Crystal! Quickly, everyone! We must fight this evil through stock footage and projectile roses! Tune in next time when we might progress the plot! ...Maybe."

I've already watched past the part where Moon and Tuxedo Mask remember their past lives, so I'm half-tempted just to skip ahead to the finale, which I hear is wonderful.)
