Chinese New Year 2009

Blargh, the site seems to be having some problems. It’s incredibly annoying, I know. I’ll edit this after posting. This is related. Yeah, anyway, it’s over in most parts of the world now (including here), but… yeah.

In any case, today is the last day of the first semester of school, so it was also my last day of having zero period gym (and the last day of having to take gym class in high school)! How exciting! Regents (NY high school exams) week starts tomorrow and ends on Monday, and since I’ve taken all the regents exams that are required, it’s basically like a week off! And after regents week, I get to come in at 9AM instead of 7:30AM because I won’t have gym! Yeah!

Here’s a video made by the same person who made the fourth video in this post (and these other videos). I guess it’s based on this, or something. Probably.

In other news, even though I only really had two homework assignments to do (My school got to “watch” Obama’s inaugural address in the auditorium, except the live feed was a failure so we listened to it on the radio and stared at a blank screen instead. But I got to miss two class periods, so that meant not having homework for those classes.), for some reason they took me a long time to do, so I didn’t quite have time to make a daily flash… although I don’t really have any specific ideas for one right now anyway.

Math Jokes (2)

When our calculus teacher actually told us this joke today, people actually did start laughing when she said they were walking down the street, which is what inspired Unnamed Character’s reactions throughout the daily flash. Except she actually understands the joke, contrary to what actually happened with some people. A lot of people in the class didn’t seem to get it at first, although they laughed at the earlier parts that weren’t really supposed to be funny. It was probably sarcastic laughter though; I know I was laughing sarcastically throughout, and then when she got to the punchline, I actually did think it was funny. Also, did I mention that calculus is awesome? Because it is.

Here are two videos from Cirno is a Genius (The second one is a parody, it’d probably help to see the original), with some super-awesome camera/lighting techniques and special effects! And create.swf! The videos look a lot better in HD. I mean a lot better. Anyway, yes. Nifty. It probably would’ve been better if I had posted the first one yesterday, seeing how it was Monday and everything…

In other news, a bunch of Touhou characters made it past the International Saimoe League 2009 nominations! Here’s what melange has to say:

Well in the end Reimu, Marisa, Aya, Remilia and Patchouli made it in with another 43 contestants to make 48 total.

Next will be 7 or 8 preliminary rounds which will whittle this number down to 27 characters who will join the 37 prequalified characters in the main league of 64.

In brief, these preliminary rounds will be held thus:
1. 48 characters divided into 4 groups of 12.
2. Each group will compete, the one with the most votes in each group will qualify for the main league.
3. Remaining characters are reshuffled into new groups and compete again until all 27 slots are filled.
(For more detailed information, please see the rules page)

The 1st preliminary round will be start on 0000 GMT, Monday, 19 January 2009.

P.S. In the main league of 64, each character will have a match with every other character, i.e. every character has 63 matches. This means that during each voting round, there will be 32 matches (32 characters vs 32 characters). The rules are such that during the main league voters must vote in a minimum of 8 matches.

And as you can probably guess, yes, homework took a lot longer than expected today too. Perhaps it’s because of my naps. I should stop taking naps after school… but I can’t.

Poppipo
