you know how in zoos they have information about the animal? Well for one problem we had to look up the weight and gestation of certain animals and then make a scatter plot.

Someone want to explain to me how posting photos of the office of a costume designer violates copyright laws? Someone want to explain to me how you can even copyright a costume (does this mean that cosyplay.com can be sued. ZOMG, look at this site totally raping Lucas' and Trisha Biggar's intellectual property)? If I was hawking bootlegs of costume sketches and MAKING A PROFIT I'd understand what the problem is, but somehow me posting a video/photo of a certain designer's studio and saying how nice the people were is equivalent to raping his copyrighted material.

Sounds like someone really got a bug up their butts Peach, maybe they are worried cause they think someone will want to steal their uber designs. Or worst maybe they are the ones guilty of copying and dont want to be busted. People who are anal over such things are annoying either way.

This is the douchbag who has a stick up his ass. I got to visit his studio and talk to his assistants on my trip to New York. I uploaded a few of the videos to youtube and within 24 hours got asked to take them down (WTF, does that guy vanity search his name every hour). I mean the costumes are already made and worn on broadway, so it`s not like they`re some top secret designs that aren`t released yet. I`d understand if I was making a profit in some way, but uploading the videos and pictures I took makes no sense.

They didn`t have any problem when me and twenty other girls were standing around taking photos and recording them, what the hell did they think we were going to do with the pictures?

Here goes another rant:

I'm a big fan of morning musume...I like their silly songs and they're very catchy too. But I think after Yossy (Yoshizawa Hitomi) graduated, the group kinda slid back a bit. I just don't think they have the personalities anymore that really stand out.

Okay, now, the one person that really does sort of "stand out" is Kusumi Koharu. I'm sorry, I've tried my best to like her and I just can't. It seems to me that she tries waaaaaay too hard to grab people's attention or to try to look cute or what have you. And don't get me started on her voice. She has got to be one of the worst singers in MoMusu, IMHO. But yet, she has her own anime show, her own singles...singles mind you, not like little side groups like Pucchimoni, Minimoni or Tanpopo, but her own little project. For some reason Tsunkun calls her a miracle.

I dunno, to each it's own I guess.

That's my random off-topic rant for the day.

I went to see Indy 4.

They need to replace Harrison Ford.

Is it possible to do Indiana Jones without him?

I think so. I think he's too old to play Indy.

The man IS Indy. That'd be like if they did the Rambo movies and didn't use Sylvester Stallone...or Rocky without him. It just wouldn't be right.

I hate Wal-Mart's computerized hiring application forms. They're slow, you know everybody has been pounding on the keys when the "T" key won't work with you, and worst of all, it won't allow you to finish if you don't give it two job references. What if, for some strange backwards reason on Earth, Wal-Mart may be your first job experience? You're screwed, plain and simple! I want to know the guy who had the brilliant idea of doing this. And don't even talk to me about the "saving paper" crap, since having that machine on all the time and consuming all that electricity (which is increasing in price everyday) cancels out whatever ecology they were trying to do.

I agree Tiff. A bunch of people say that there should be a new actor for Indy, but they don't know what they're saying. The say that and then they come out of the movie with a new actor playing Indy and end up wanting good ol' Harrison Ford back. It would not be the same if Steven Speilburg picked a new actor to play Indiana Jones.

There should have been an option on there to say whether you have had previous employment experience or not. A lot of the positions at Wal-Mart are entry level-type positions, so they don't actually require previous experience. It let me continue when I put in my application almost two years ago, and I started as a cashier there.

And yes, a lot of the computer equipment for a lot of the stores is outdated. Part of the problem with the application computers is that children like to get on them and play on them (and the parents usually let them). They also don't replace stuff like that until the store is eligible for a remodel (and Home Office determines this, if I'm correct) which happens once every few years.

I actually hate harrison Ford as an actor. IMO, I think he needs to be replaced because I found my self paying attention to the other supporting cast more.

Indy fanboys/fangirls, don't shoot me. I'm innocent!

1) I cannot for the life of me imagine paying to see a movie when I hated the main actor. Seriously. That's a waste of my time and money.

2) Hollywood isn't going to replace an actor because a minority of people "don't like him." They're going to go with what makes money...and having Harrison Ford reprise as the role he's MOST FAMOUS FOR = money.
