The quiet one, but beware of her when she's around Nobuhiro Watsuki, Rurouni Kenshin, Sanosuke Sagara, and Yuji Ueda.

Heey, Tara here, the one that seems to hate Shoujou with a passion (of course, she might deny it once or twice, but eh...).  She loves anything with a good plot and lovable characters.  AHH, College!

The stealthy one.  I live by night, and hide by day.  I welcome the creatures of the dark.  Need I say more?  Did you say yes?  How about I fantasize about Final Fantasy.  I'm also into YuGiOh Card Games.  I enjoy too many anime to name them all.  They are just so good...saavory!

Miz taking the liberty of writing about Cadet, since he doesn't know anything about editing this portion of the page yet.  So don't think bad of Miz if anyone doesn't like what Miz wrote.  Cadet with his evil tomato picture wants to act as if he's evil, but inside he's just a big empty-word guy.  Cadet thinks the best of the Blade of the Immortal manga!

Here's an 18-year old suffering from a premature mid-life crisis if that is even possible (ha HA). It took me about a little a year to join and now here I am ^_^ Don't procrastinate folks. This is my first group blog. I hope to have fun and share my insanity while I'm at it. I love Fruits Basket and Yuki and elves with blonde hair (~_~).

 
Haha. I like the Cornell one better. Dr. Wu's lecture today about heterogeneous copolymers is very cool. Explains the phenomenon of why you should do very tedious chemistry pouring drop by drop instead of just pouring the whole beaker of liquid into another. It actually makes a difference! No, really! It does!

So after today, it gets me thinking. Chinese professors are smarter than Japanese ones, just that they don't have such big a name. They're regular professors that know volumes of wisdom. Lets just say, a lot of chinese professors would be famous in Japan just not necessarily in China. One thing is freaky thou: in Dr. Wu's talk he mentioned several mathmatical concepts and formulas. Then he says, "This is simple high school algebra." LOLZ. So right there and then, I think "What the heck? I'm a college kid right..."

he he. Okay Baruch didn't screw me over. I mean they almost did but now I'm taking the classes so I forgive them (^_^). They were giving me such a hard time about registering for summer courses but its okay now.
I would like to read scanslations of the new clamp AU manga ^_^ You know, fanfiction isn't such a bad thing. It even gets published. I walked into Barnes & Nobles today and guess what I saw? A Pride and Prejudice fanfic----> novel. Mr Darcy's Daughters. I would like to read it actually but am already spending too much money on books. Like I bought this really nice Tale of Genji box set from Strand books last week. I don't feel bad because it has 2 seperate volumes, making it more readable. Plus, it's a newer translation. The 1000+ page paperback edition I used last semester is too bulky to bring on the subway ~_~ Some people think Harvard is overated btw.
oh wait wait, I have Harvard lightbulb joke too *_* How many students does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Harvard: One. He holds the bulb and the world revolves around him. I don't know about this one -_- Cornell: Two. One to change the lightbulb and one to crack under the pressure.

How many Harvard students does it take to set up a projector? Experience shows 5. There's definately something wrong here. I just went to a seminar by a professor from Tokyo University - Eqivalence of Harvard, MIT, and Cal Tech here. The overall idea I learned from his talk: Does this guy know how to do a speech? Anyways, hope the professor from Hong Kong University will be much better in tomorrow's talk about the mesoglobular phase in dilute heteropolymer solutions.

Right now I'm at Staten Island on an intern. In addiction to extract the info stored in me brain cells, they also want me to engage in their international project with Israel. Isn't that cool! Too bad I don't get to go there. I'm doing the massive analyzing work here. Oh yeah, and I get to work with a giant magnet called an NMR running on 600Hz. Very powerful by modern standards. So if you have a watch, keys, coins, pacemaker, a metal-plate on your forehead please stand at least 50 feet away from the NMR. Not a pretty sight. Oh yeah, it also screws up your metrocards, credit cards, and basically anything that is metallic. FFX-2 in September!

How are you gals spending your summer so far?

It's not a sequel; it's a completely alternate story using the same characters, like how Christina put it^^  It's not just characters from CCS, either.  I read the scanlations for the first two chapters; if I don't like it for the story, then I'll like it just because I get to see the way the characters from their different series are portrayed.  I hope Mokona talks!  Now I want to read Chobits just to find out more about those other characters^______^  In fact, I want to read all of CLAMP's works just to know if there's any characters I couldn't identify before!

I don't like hardcover, but I do like real books^^  Only the ones that come in a decent size, though, like Viz's new "look" or most of TokyoPop's stuff.  I hate it when other companies acquire licenses to manga cuz they always print it in these huge books, completely inconvenient for bringing it around to read or even to just store at home, which kind of makes it pointless to buy unless I'm a completely hardcore fan for it.

Could you be a little more elaborate on how Baruch screwed you over?^^;;  Errm...I can guess at it...you paid an application fee and then the physics class was canceled cuz not enough people are taking it?

Well, buying manga is good but, only if you like hardcover and real books. I prefer having manga on the computer. But yeah Once Piece is a very good (manga only, because i did not see the anime yet, though manga is usualy much better anyway). Actually i am downloading it right now, volume 21 to 27 or 26 i belive, so ill be reading it soon. But if you like manga on paper then you should continue geting it :.

Cool, More news ^_______^ Aww...now I have to decide if I want to continue buying Shonen Jump...

I kinda want to see Finding Nemo. It looks funny ^.^

hmm That description of Tsubasa sounds like an AU CCS fanfic to me .^________^. Sounds like it's worth looking into. I'm not a very big Clamp fan though. Mina, you go to Baruch, right? Can you tell me why the screwed me over so? Oh well, no summer Physics for me. Now I will work. How about Barnes & Nobles or AMC? The Sanrio store on 42nd? Schools out but maybe instead of physics I will try to do some reading. BTW, has anyone seen Finding Nemo yet?

I got "Pot of Greed" in my pack, but it's only a normal rare, not a super rare or ultra rare or anything like that.  It's not something that I had already, though, so it's still good^^

Does this mean that Syoaran's going to be the main character of the new CCS series?  I don't mind, though; he looked really cool in that picture^___^  I'll miss the shyness he showed around Sakura in the original series, though (he doesn't seem that kind of person in that picture).  That was just too cute^^

I like One Piece. It's so funny ^.^ When I first looked at the pics, I thought it's going to be boring. I didn't know Luffy is made out of rubber.

Ooh, I got the latest Shonen Jump. It has an article of Rurouni Kenshin ^___^ The sad news is the manga is going to release in November >.<

Here's an article about the "sequal" to Card Captor Sakura (Got it from Lelola):
CLAMP's latest work "Tsubasa" started

The latest title of CLAMP called "Tsubasa" started its serialization on this week's Weekly Shonen Magazine. Already ballyhooed as the most crowning work of CLAMP ever, its main character is - well guess who's back; it's Sakura and Syaoran.

Its serialization has only just started so no further details of what will happen in the end. But you can expect this is a parallel adventure story as CLAMP, the group that has created various masterpieces like "Chobits", "Cardcaptor Sakura", "X", etc, made a small comment at the colored inner jacket illustration of this first chapter that:

"This is a story that we always wanted to draw; a story that has a message that 'various worlds are linked'." The story features the main characters from "Cardcaptor Sakura", and from the start you get to see Sakura, Syaoran, Touya, and Yukito. However its story is not a sequel to "CC Sakura", and the story goes on in the totally different settings and environment. Seems to be Sakura and Syaoran are much older than the former title, judging to be about 14 - 15 years old.

The main story line of the very first chapter is as below:
Princess Sakura is the heir to the throne of the Clow Country, and she fancies her childhood friend Syaoran, whose father was an archaeologist ad he himself devotes his life for excavation. The brother of Sakura and the King of Clow, Touya is not really happy about that. But Yukito, the hierarch of the country foresee that Syaoran is Sakura's "Destined one", and that Sakura possesses a power to change the world.

One day, a strange crest that is no of the Clow, was found inside the excavating relic. The bedrock that carries the crest is extremely hard, and no machines or power was able to break it through. But when Sakura felt the crest, the crest engraved on the rock breaks up and she disappears into it. When Syaoran followed her, what he saw was Sakura, being wrapped by streams of bright light and wearing a pair of wings.

Meanwhile, around the relics the air suddenly rips apart and another dimension appears. From there strangers appears and they broke into Clow, and start attacking Touya and others. And at the other end of the dimension, mysterious people watch the event, plotting something. Who are those people....?

After the attack Syaoran takes stone-cold Sakura to another world by Yukito, to a person who possess the same Moon power as him. Called "the Witch of the Dimension", she was...! And will Syaoran be able to save Sakura?

From the first chapter of the series, "Tsubasa" (meaning Wing(s)) has already linked with "XXXHOLIC", a series currently running on Young Magazine. Let us look forward to see its further development, and whether it will link with other worlds. [Source: Animaxis via ANN]

There's an issue that covers that series in Shonen Magazine if anyone wants to buy one or just look at the cover... ^.^'
