Last School Post

As the term comes to a close, I have been asked to post my favorite photo from this term. This is a tough decision as there might be a few thousand photos at my disposal. But being the dog person that I am, there is one photo that stands out from all the others. I was sitting at home with one of my best friends, and my dog, Shotzi, wandered up to her and just plopped down in front of her. My friend began to massage and scratch Shotzi, and I noticed the face she was making. PURE HAPPINESS.

Week 7

So, one of my favorite things to watch, when I am not at my parent's house, is anime. Now I'm not talking about the waifu bait, or any of the weird shit. I'm talking about Bleach, One Piece, Naruto and the like. These shows are realizations of art. Comics come to life. Unfortunately, they aren't always in English dubs, so I often have to watch with subtitles engaged. But this doesn't detract from the shows, they often improve it in my opinion. The dubs often just don't line up with the mouth movements of the characters But, there are positives to having to read these subtitles. I never miss anything, not matter how quiet. I do the same thing with my video games, subtitles on. On the other hand, movies almost never have subtitles. and with good reason! It can distract from what is going on in the picture. First movie I remember seeing in theater is probably The Incredibles, wayyy back in 2004. I have since always enjoyed superhero movies, like the current Mar...
