I admit that I am an anime fan, and that I'm not too hard to please. But I recently saw a movie that was worth every penny and second of my time. Paprika is a fantasy anime movie having to do with dreams and their power. I won't go too far into the plot, because it become confusing very early on, and I'd rather not spoil anything for you all. But let me at least say the following:Paprika, as a heroine, is amazing. She's strong, lovely, witty, and very clever. I was rooting for her the entire movie. I saw it with friends, and they all expressed similar views. The music, was addictive. I have bought the sound track already. Nerdy as hell, yeah? But it was needed. It really was amazing. The animation style was crisp, smooth and pleasant, and the characters were all fun in both sight and voice. Really, the movie was a complete work, both of art and of cinematic interest. So see it.I guess it comes down to that. It's the best movie I've seen all year, so find a way to see it, you will NOT be sorry.If you see it, let me know what you thought.-chrissy
Well, it all started when I was away doing the college tour thing. I became aquainted with a girl named laura, and we both quickly became friends. Many of our adventures together included door molestation, horse monopoly, poetry recitation, and an elementary Russain class where neither of us understood a word. But The "Maccaroni and Cheese Fiasco" has to be our greatest venture together.
It began in the lynchburg airport. If you dont know the airport(and believe me, you dont) It is basically two stories, small, and only has three gates. The staff consists of nineteen people, and only has one snack shop. It is neccisary to remember this fact when understanding me when I say that we were BORED STIFF waiting for our flight. After a while of waiting, we noticed that the flight was scheduled to be fifty minutes late. Neither of us had had lunch yet, so we set off in search of the one food shack to fill our growling stomachs.
But when we arrived, we were shocked to find that the shack had closed. We mourned a while, but Laura quickly spotted that servent of all mankind:
A vending machine.
Inside, we saw several delectible goods such as twinkies and aunt jemima sausages, but what drew our attention was the LeanQuizine Maccaroni and Cheese. We agreed instantly to buy this food and eat it together. But to our dismay, we found that it cost two fifty, and we only had five dollar bills. The machine spat these back into our faces, flashing the words" have a nice day" onto its screen.
So I sent laura on a quest back through the security check to get dollar bills from her bag. I waited intently, but after ten minutes became impatient. When I rounded the corner, I found Laura talking cheerily to a security guard, discussing whether or not South Dakota ishould be a state. I reminded her that we were under a time restraint, even if she was very good at charmind security guards, and off she went again.
She came back without shoes, saying that she was sick of putting them through the security check, and we bought the Mac and Cheese. We used the Snack shops microwave(dont ask me why they had one) to prepare our dish, and were carrying it triumphantly back to our gate, when we reached the security check. We paused, the idea occuring to us both at once.
"Do we have to put this through the security check?" I asked, eyes wide, voice shaking, as I indicated the steaming bowl of mac and cheese.
The guard nodded. "The sodas too." she added, smiling cheerfully.
So we put all our stuff through security, including putting our food onto the conveyer belt and sending it through. After a moment, they pulled my jacket aside, glaring at me. They had been kind to us up to this point, but now they reguarded me as an enemy. They oppened my pockets, taking otu everything they could find, asking me if I had anything sharp or dangerous in my pockets. At last, they found a small white plastic bag, and glared at me in triumph. They oppened it to find the hockey puck I had bought in Atlanta. They laughed, sayign they had thought it was a bomb and sent us on our way. As we left, Laura commented " I'm glad they didnt have to handcheck THIS one." And pointed to our lovely mac and cheese. We laughed, and marched down to the lower level with heads held high, brandishing our cheesy prize before us in praise.
We reached our gate and sat down triumphant and prepared to eat. I looked up just in time to see our plane touching down outside. "We will be boarding in ten minutes." said a loudspeaker in a happy voice. With a battle cry, we attacked the mac and cheese, offering it to anyone near us, whether we knew them or not, stuffing all we could into our mouths. It was hot and burned us, and we began to scream as we ate arms flailing as we attempted to swallow the food whole so as to finish it faster. We finished, just as the passengers got off of the plane, and our boarding call sounded.
We got up, calmed ourselves, and boarded the plane in a dignified and peacable manner, while all other passengers looked to us in confusion and fear, praying that they would not be seated near us on the long flight home.
And thus ends this account of the "Maccaroni and Cheese Fiasco" of Lynchburg Airport.
Now see hear, I have to apologize for my absence. The truth is that I have had so much work from my professors that I have not had time to do much for the comic. I plan to take care of that though. It might be a few more weeks before you see anything from me though. I have midterms coming up in the next two weeks. So I am hoping that things will slow down from there and I will have more time to work on ideas and new art for our comic. I hope that evryone who iskeeping track of free-second well keep cheking and reading our work. You'd better not forget about up. Or face my rath. Well I plan to help my counterpart out as much as I can. I see that will happen when I get rid of these evil teachers and do this Kat style. Well now that you understan what I have to put up with and you see that I am not just neglecting my duties to this comic (I hope no one thought that) I will see to it hat I have my work done and up as soon as possible. Well it si back to the books, tests, and work before I find myself in andothe work form hell situation. Well dont let me keep you from your own lives. I HATE ALL THIS WORK!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
