Pennies (and AP exams)

Here’s the flash I made two days ago about the AP exams. 48 hours have passed, so I’m guessing it’s safe to post this without getting sued. It’s not that great, as I’ve said last time: the joke is the actual test itself. I’ve kinda lost my enthusiasm for this exam after those 48 hours, so I guess I won’t be as excited to tell you what was on it.

Anyhow, for the document-based essay, the prompt was to argue for or against the abolishment of the penny. It seemed really silly for an essay topic, and a bunch of people started laughing after seeing it. What was really funny was the last document: some scanned images of pennies, heads and tails. I was just wondering how someone would even use that source to support their argument.

One of the sources was about some internet group that advocated for the “retirement of the penny”, and it was also pretty silly. There was some guy named Jeff Gore who was like “pennies waste valuable time,” yet spends his time creating a site and coming up with these calculations for how much time and money are wasted yearly by pennies, which apparently comes to $10 billion a year. The argument he makes can be found on the site (scroll all the way down), word-for-word as it was seen on the AP exam. It’s just really silly, and although pennies are annoying, I don’t like that guy’s reasoning. Anyway, I thought I wrote a pretty good essay for that prompt. I really liked it, despite how silly it was (I kinda made fun of that Jeff Gore guy a bit).

Oh well, AP exams are over for me now, which is nice. Next year, I have four AP exams to look forward to (statistics, calculus, physics, English literature). Greeeeat.

I guess I’ll update create.swf tomorrow. If you have any suggestions for new items, accessories, backgrounds, etc, and character, that’d be nice.

Edit: Oh yeah, and here’s a Touhou SRPG concept by Fawkes using characters from create.swf. Yay.

Patches

More specifically, the Mabinogi Generation 2 patch. But darn, I don’t have enough AP for all the new music stuff. I’ll probably rebirth once I get $10 from the site ads (using them to actually pay for the site is a bit unreasonable because of how slowly the money comes in), which may take awhile, considering I get like 10~20 cents a day.

Canada

Seriously though. Of all the Canadian people I know on the internet (there’s a whole bunch of them!), there is only one that I don’t really like. But everyone else is cool. Perhaps literally as well as figuratively, because Canada is in the north, and the temperature can get quite low there. Maybe Cirno’s from Canada. Oh wait no, she’s from Japan.

College fair

Went to a college fair today, where I learned about a bunch of different colleges/universities that I would otherwise probably not be interested in. But yes, the Harvard table actually was empty most of the time (at least it was when I saw it), perhaps due to the fact that it was near the back of the gym, near the corner. Yale was there too, but their table was near the gym entrance so they got a ton of people crowding around. I wonder how the Harvard and Yale representatives would’ve responded if someone had told them “I’ve never heard of your school before.”

Anyhow, this week seemed to go by pretty fast for some reason. Tomorrow’s Friday! I wonder who I’ll update create.swf with. Perhaps PC-98 Reimu.

100th daily flash!

It’s the 100th flash! Wanted to go with something big, like that daily flash about the 100,000 pageviews. Only this time, I’ve done more than just copy/paste frames from old flashes; I’ve edited most of the dialogue and added some other things, so now it actually flows together like some sort of weird story! It’s 176 frames long, and it’s sure to bring back some memories of the older daily flashes, if you’ve seen them.

Anyhow, thanks to all the readers who have been following my daily flashes up until now, and for all the feedback you all have provided over the months. 100 daily flashes, wooo! (There’s just something about landmark numbers like 100 that makes people go “wooo!”)
