Now that you mention it, yeah Chronicle sounds a lot like Akira! The synopsis sounds like it's come exactly out of the Akira storyline...

Yeah they did. I'm not surprised if you don't like them, really you either hate them or you love them. I sure did!

Part 3!

Don't worry about it! Aww that sounds rough. Are you feeling any better? Cool! It hasn't snowed here in months. Hopefully the snow will keep going

No problemo!

Me too

They've been really good! I like pretty much all of my teachers. My physics teacher is awesome. We're going to be watching physics movies and she'll bring pizza and popcorn . She really loves physics! She told us about songs that are about physics (like... the Large Hadron Collider Rap, songs about electromagnetism... ) and asked if we knew of any more; I was so tempted to say Origin of Symmetry since it's kinda based off Michio Kaku's book Hyperspace. Is your homework load getting a bit lighter now? I hope it is. I'm glad you still had a good time! That sounds so exciting . Too bad about the quarterbacks though . Aww ...

I see. I can't think of where that would be... maybe in the Rocky Mountains.

Yep, for sure

You are a true fan! I understand . That's all you saw? No wonder, that would've been really weird to watch! No problem!

That concert was really good... the beginning is so creepy! One of my favourites from that concert would have to Citizen Erased, I think. Ahh yes, the documentary... lots of things happen on that, as I'm sure you're aware

I would love for them to do another one!

Have you seen the anime movie of Akira? Apparently it's one of the greatest of all time.

Everyone has different strengths

Good! I'm pretty sure nothing will this second time around.

I was going to link you to the game, but for some reason I forgot to! It was a contest from 6 years ago or something, I didn't know about them then. If it had come out today I would definitely have entered though! It's infuriatingly simple yet hard to win, and addicting if you can't win it; you're always like "... just one more game, then i'll stop" but you always play another game... anyways, you can play it here if you're interested

I see what you're saying; I hate when a great actor is stuck in one of those bad movies.

They are! . I really like them though.

Thanks again. I know she can do it

Ahh I see, aww man! At least you'll be all done with them soon. That's good!

How did you find that? Talk about guilty pleasure!

Meanwhile I found this site that's cool; you can go back to websites from years and years ago, if that makes sense. It's called the Wayback Machine.

I discovered this on there... it's old school Atari-style . One of the bands I like made it a contest, so if you got to the end you were supposed to take a screenshot, and you'd win something if you were one of the first 5 people

New We're Alive episode?

Ohh really? Good thing, yeah. Though if she wasn't in it then I would really have liked to see it. I think Ken Watanabe was going to be in it, and that would've been awesome!

Astronomy (stars and galaxies) and Physics (electromagnetism)

I try. I really do.

Thank you, I really am. I think she's getting better; today she told me I've given her a lot of hope, so that's very promising.

First class today, then! Didn't you get them out last year? Was that appointment cancelled? Or do you have more . Regardless, good luck! Eat lots of ice cream afterwards! Aww that's too bad . I'm completely sure they will do another tour!

I didn't know most of them were until a little while ago . Really? I'm not, but maybe because I love comic books! I think it's cool to see them on the big screen. Of course they better be good versions. There's an Akira live-action movie in the works and Kirsten Stewart might be in it

New term's started up, so I've got all these new courses. I'm enjoying what I'm learning about though . I've also been spending way too much money at the comic book store . I do have a lot of good graphic novels to read though

On a serious note, right now, well... one of my friends has been having a really rough few months and she's feeling really suicidal... I'm helping her fight back. I'm worried though

How are you?

Okay, I see... ahh still I think for an audience it was too soon...

Yeah there are lots! After a quick check with wikipedia, you'd probably be surprised to know that 30 Days of Night, 300, Alien vs. Predator series, Blade series, Cowboys & Aliens, Ghost Rider, and the Men in Black series, among many were all based off comic books and graphic novels! Ahh I hate it when that gets spoiled!

I do think it was too soon after the last series to do a reboot.

Yeah! It seems like everything is based off graphic novels/comics . Like the movie Wanted; I was surprised to hear it, but that was based off a graphic novel.

Thanks!

and you're welcome!

It's back! Did you listen to it??

Happy New Year!!!!!!!

Thanks! Happy New Year to you too!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you'd be able to work around not taking it again! Yeah I don't blame them. You probably did

Aww that's right . I've got a bit more time than you; school for me is on Wednesday. Cool, have fun! And box seats too! I've never been in one of those. I know you'll still have a great time if they lose, but still, of course good luck to the Rams! And to the Jets! It'll be a huge game for the Jets! Yeah I've had a great break . You've gone whitewater rafting in Canada?

Thanks! Yeah I guess I did! You are 100% right about that, that's really all snowboarding's ever been to me!

Oh wow, that's long! So ... if the Chicago Cubs were in the World Series final, would you cheer for them because it's been so long since they've won, or would you not because they're your rivals? In the 1963 Grey Cup final between BC and Hamilton, Mosca (on Hamilton) made a really controversial hit on running back Willie Fleming, one of - if not, THE - best running backs BC has ever had. The Lions ended up losing the game (not just because of the hit though, the score was 21-10 so it wasn't exactly close). Kapp, who was quarterback for BC at the time, hasn't forgotten that play since. So at the luncheon, Mosca tried to give Kapp flowers as a "peace offering", according to him, and you saw what happened afterwards...

I'm really hoping for them! GOOD LUCK!

It is an AMAZING gift! Yeah they sure did . Have you watched the concert and video diary thing yet?

I'd put Prometheus right behind them! Don't get me wrong, I'm really looking forward to that too. I'm also actually looking forward to The Amazing Spiderman, interested in where they'll be taking the film and the story. I like the director too.

Good.

Yeah apparently they're must-sees. Battle Royale... just... no idea how graphic it could get! Meaning to read the graphic novel it was based from as well.

I'll check that song out!

Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit, and Avengers are the movies I'm looking forward to most next year. Looking forward to all the banter between Stark and Captain America .

Hey, you should try it!

Some that are on my list are Clockwork Orange, Blade Runner, and lots and lots of horror movies I've been meaning to watch. Two other movies I want to see but will be hard to find are I Saw the Devil (Korean) and Battle Royale (Japanese).

That's nice

I know they're really big metal bands, but for some reason I haven't heard any of their songs. Any that you like?

Awesome that you're seeing lots of movies! Oh, not as dark as this 2011 film? Interesting. I'm really looking forward to it! Yeah, so?

You're welcome too!

I usually rent a movie on New Year's Eve and watch that until 12. On New Year's Day I'm going to a friend's place for dinner. You?

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Aww . Glad it's over with and I hope you don't have to take that airline again. I'm not surprised it is Canadian based. Air Canada is probably the biggest Canadian based airline but we've had bad experiences with them.

Same, at the moment, I really love not having to do anything . I know exactly what you mean! Yeah it's really nice to get together with them . I've never been whitewater rafting but it sounds so fun! That would be really cool!

Thanks! Yes I did and strangely that was my best mark . I know I'm not doing bio in the future though, so I'm done with that forever. Yeah there's always lots of snow whenever we go! Yeah... it's really hard... as I said before, my first try at snowboarding was a disaster . I still want to try it again sometime.

That's an interesting turn of events! And wow, that's a long time to go without winning the World Series. I can't remember, sorry! I just remember hearing that a long time ago. So... really I might be getting all of my facts wrong, but I just seem to remember hearing that. Oh yeah, that was Joe Kapp and Angelo Mosca. And they're both CFL legends (Kapp's even got his number retired in BC!). And you saw that they were fighting over something that happened about 50 years ago?

Okay, I see now. Aww man! . They're so close!

Hope you enjoy it!

That's so cool! Wow what an awesome gift! Enjoy that too!

I see

Yeah it is a lot of fun to just jump around and stuff, very true. I haven't heard enough songs from any of them to have a decent opinion about them except Killswitch Engage, and I like them. The Arms of Sorrow is a good song.

Great! I'm sure you'll see M:I 4 soon still. Had you seen the original Dragon Tattoo? I'm interested in how they compare. That's interesting. I know! I admit, I've had to turn Doom 3 off once because I was playing with all the lights off, early in the morning, with the sound up; it was getting too creepy...

Thanks, Happy New Year to you too! I'm sure I'll be saying that again in a few days

You have time! There aren't more episodes coming out so you're not going to fall behind or anything.

I guess I'm not helping with the procrastinating

Me too

Yeah I wasn't able to jump that much but being feet away from the band members (and with no people in front of me to obstruct my view - I'm kinda short :chuckle) is the best for me! Yeah ouch . I hope you can! Who else is playing that you know of?

Exactly...

NICE. How were they? I'm wanting to see both of them. Yeah I'm on break, and like you, am being lazy and such. Haven't gotten my books either . Instead, I bought Doom 3 agains just so that I can play it on my laptop . Well it was only $10, and I used a gift certificate so not bad . I'm thinking of buying Call of Duty 4 next.

Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too!

Whoa, 10 hours late! Yeah I had a feeling it was 1:30 am and not pm . I don't think I've ever flown Delta Airlines... West Jet mostly.

I can imagine! Ahh well, I said the second or fourth for me, it could very easily be the third as well . Yes they are, very relaxing which is what we need right now! Lots of time spent with family too . Yeah I'm so excited! We were supposed to go last summer but because of the earthquake/tsunami we didn't; can't remember if I told you that already. That's why we went to the UK (and I'm very glad about that because I saw MUSE ). Do you have any plans for next summer? I'm sure some of it will be spent transitioning to American University

I know, it would've been really really bad. It is such a bad feeling! Well I got my mark back today, and so far it's my best and I'm really happy with it! I just need to get bio back now. Yeah we usually go to Silver Star, which is about a 6 or 7 hour drive from here, or we go to Sun Peaks which I think is a bit closer. I've never actually been to Whistler for skiing! I'm sure it would be great over the winter though. I think it's about the same in Canada. I could be totally off about that too

That would've been cool to see! Even though they lost. Apparently there was a movie that had an NFL game in it but the footage was of a CFL game. The Toronto Argonauts were in it. What a mix up though . That's great news! I'm sure there'll be more great players!

I know! Me too!

That's cool

Ohh it's based on win percentage against common teams? I see. I can't remember how the CFL works... I think it's decided on who's won more games between the two teams. Probably because there are so few teams each team plays each other 3 times or something.

Thank you! Merry Christmas Eve to you too!

Did you get the Muse Christmas present?

Me too.

Yes, it was good! It's set a little bit in the future, not as much as the second episode. Can't decide of the three which is my favourite yet.

It looks a lot more action oriented, I agree. Yeah, exactly! I'm sure he will be... for one thing, he's the last villain for the series... he better be good

I think it's more painful in the middle of the crowd then up against the barrier, even though everyone pushes at you behind and you've always got crowd surfers going right over your head. Great, I'm glad! No I hadn't! Are you planning on going?

. I was thinking of some good songs for a zombie apocalypse movie (random, I know) - ones like Apocalypse Please, of course. Well... came across the Zombeatles...

Are you on break from college right now?

10 more days until We're Alive!!!

Aww really? Darn... that is a real shame. Wow, only three...

Have you seen the last episode?

It looks so good!!!! Do you think it'll be darker than the second?

Aww jeez, yeah that's painful! Lots of people then? Well perhaps that was to your benefit since A7X was really the only band you were looking forward to . Sounds like you were still in the thick of things!

I bet when you found that out you were like "... what?" . Yeah it would be like me going to Calgary instead of Hawaii or something . 1:30 pm or am? I don't really remember actually when exactly... next year, of course. I think around March or April

You're very welcome! That makes me really happy to hear that

Quite the difference! I misread things too. I think it's January 2nd or 4th when we're back, but I don't really know . I should though! Nothing special, actually, except lots of dinners with family! We're not going anywhere this break and we're keeping it really low-key. Actually, it's because we decided that we're going to be going to Japan next summer!

It was okay... well, I was really tired for it. It was at 12:00, but I... actually... almost missed it; slept in until 11:30! I had set my alarm for 9:00 and woke up, but thought I could get a bit more time to sleep . Yeah, I'll never do that again! Anyways, the exam itself was challenging but I'm not too worried about it! Same with us, only ever once a year and for a few days, and we didn't go last year! We're not going this year either. That's great . As long as the skiing is good! That's okay! I've never been on a ski trip when I haven't fallen . So yeah, only about once a year. That's interesting, no snowboarding allowed? About how many people snowboard in comparison to ski in the States?

Yeah I think the Arch is really cool! And I know what it's like to see your city on TV, it is awesome . Aww if only! I'm sure there's some kind of TV show where the stadium has been shown .

That is very true, that is how Muse is! Good point! Hmm, relatively soon singles should be coming out, ahh!

Is it going to be her first play?

I read in the newspaper that they're tied with Cincinnati (if I remember correctly), and have the advantage over them because of the season series?

Ahh, I see. Well I'm sure you'll go one day!

Yes. I preferred the first one too since, well, it was more relatable to our time, for example. It's out now! Going to watch it tonight. Do you know how many are supposed to be in the first season? If not that many, then yes they really should do more episodes! Mmm yeah kinda is! So interesting...

Still haven't gotten around to it . Going to right after I write this, I promise

Oh that's awesome! I had forgotten the concert was on Friday! Did they play many rarities? yeah I'm sure the mosh pit was crazy . I hope you're okay , and I hope the bands you weren't interested in weren't horrible

Have fun! Atlanta? Yeah... that was quite the detour! My brother and his orchestra (my old one) are actually going to Atlanta to perform in a competition . Wish I was going.

Aww no problem, of course! That was just such amazing news . I'm still really happy for you

Thanks! I agree, and of course when it's Muse related! Yes things are fine here . They sure are! They were so good... yeah she was an awesome teacher. I've never liked bio but she made it really enjoyable.

Thank you! I'll need it . Sounds like you've really been looking forward to this, I'm so glad you're going! How often do you go skiing? I ski as well . I've wanted to try snowboarding for a while, but my first and only attempt years ago was really a disaster

It's quite a long flight! Thanks again for telling me about it! I have a feeling that once I'm finally on winter break then I'll be watching a lot of it

It is. A long time, hopefully. Also don't know if you've heard but Chris said that they're trying to do something "radically different" with the next album http://www.nme.com/news/muse/60983

I'm sure you're proud of her! That's awesome! Just like how I feel about my brother too

Aww darn it . How many more games are left, again? And I hope the other teams lost their games as well!
