the way it's pronounced on our campus is "kie" and "fie," so that they both rhyme with Pi. I've never heard it 'officially' pronounced any other way. Also, I have been pronouncing Ami's last name wrong...and I just caught this today while I was studying for my Kanji test. I've been pronouncing it "M...

While waiting for my ride today on campus, a Chi Omega walked by and it reminded me that I *always* used to pronounce Chi and Phi's names "chee" and "fie" or "fee." Crazy Greek alphabet.

I really like sailorasteroid's and akarui's second entries! They're so cool. A question about these little icon-things: some of the ones I have for my bookmarks...they change back to the normal "e" (for internet Explorer, the browser I use) after a while...why is that? Like, my Megatokyo bookmark US...

I'm a fan of Teen Titans! I've watched it since the beginning, and except for maybe one or two episodes, I've caught them all. It's weird, because I don't really like superheros, but Teen Titans just has such good characters. Beast Boy and Cyborg play so well off each other, and what I like most is ...

Byron ("Buster") and George Oscar ("G.O.B", pron. Job)-- *gasp* I had no idea Buster had a real name, or that Gob was an abbreviation. And I watch the show every time it's on! I (heart) it. It's hilarious, and none of the actors in it are very famous (well, excluding the narrator and George Sr. and...

heh, sorry to double post on an old topic, but there was a joke on last nights Justice League Unlimited that I just *couldn't* let slip: Black Canary to Green Arrow, who is training: Would you like to go a couple rounds with me?

I've also read The Da Vinci Code, and thought it was very good. Like doodlebug said, it's pretty easy to read, it's not tedious or boring in any way. I'm not even really interested in 'the big conspiracy' the book deals with, but I still thought the book was really good. I recommend it!

Yesterday I went to Waldenbooks to spend my Xmas giftcards, and noticed that they had Galaxy Angel vol 4, but didn't get it because I planned on running over to Hastings, where they were having a 30% off all graphic novels sale. However, when I got to Hastings, they had NONE of the Galaxy Angel mang...

It says my name is pronouced II-DA, but that's inaccurate; the accurate pronounciation would be AI-DA. The katakana spelling is also wrong, since the pronounciation was wrong. It's pronounced almost exactly the same way in Japanese as it is in English. The spelling threw the translator off. Like som...

many shows do the "invisible fence" thing when a character is standing on one side of a fence and the camera is on the other. This is mostly so you can see the characters' faces. If the tiny hatch lines were drawn over their faces, you'd lose a lot of expression in the character's face and the face ...

I had a friend who was *convinced* that Yaten's name was pronounced "YAY-ten." We even got in an argument about it. Keep in mind, this was even *after* she had watched the season with me. -_- However, we've both been taking Japanese classes here in college, and are having a great time finding all th...

I always thought they got a whole year off so they could study for high school entrance exams. Don't most Japanese schools do this? The way I understand it is, after middle school, you get a year off to prepare for a high school entrance exam, and if you do well, you get to go to school. Right?
