Random Stuff. . . ^_^

Sam bored. Sam draw. Ugh!
- Sam Banner

Greetings all! I hope you’ve all been well. I have been. Again, today there really isn’t a lot to post about, which is probably a good thing. I’ve gotten a little tired of my long posts. So, I’m going to try and keep this short.

Caesar1280’s Anime Ticker
Today I thought I would change up my site a little bit. I have added a new feature. It’s “Caesar1280’s Anime Ticker.” It’s basically a count and a list of all the anime (series, OVA’s, and movies) and manga that I have completed or am in the process of completing. This new addition was prompted by two things. One, I just kinda thought it would be cool to let y’all know what it is that I’ve seen or am seeing, and two, I think some of us on TheO, especially us bloggers, have lost sight of what it is that brings us all here together in the first place, anime. Yeah, it’s cool that we all like to share a little bit of our lives with the community, but what about the stuff upon which the community was founded? I came here and started this site with the intention of sharing my anime interests and discussing them. So far, very little of that has happened and on some sites I’ve found, it’s hard to find a reference to anime or manga anywhere. So, consider this ticker a reminder that we are all here because of one thing and one thing only, anime. So, enjoy the new ticker up under my greeting paragraph. Unfortunately, for now i only have the counts, I'll get around to getting the actual lists put up real soon.

For Dragon Phoenix
Dragon Phoenix commented on my last post that she’d like me to post the rules for Go up on my site so she could learn. I was a little hesitant at first. She said she wanted them put up because she wasn’t interested enough to go search for a place to learn in her own area. It’s not that I have anything against it, I have my times of laziness, it’s just that Go is not the type of game that someone can take on without ambition. Yeah, the rules are very simple to learn, but to actually learn go you have to put a lot of time into playing games, observing games, and studying the strategy. You can’t just half-heartedly read the rules and expect to be able to hold your own in a game. It doesn’t work that way. But, then I realized that posting the rules on here might actually inspire Dragon Phoenix to want to seek out someplace to play in her own area. Just maybe this little glimpse of the game will get her interested enough to learn more. So, Dragon Phoenix, by clicking on the lovely link above, simply go through the items in the table of contents in order and you will have learned how to play go. This was the shortest and most concise Go tutorial I found. I hope this inspires you to learn more!


Riddle Me This, Riddle Me That
All right, as you all know by now, I don’t like my job. I find it boring and meaningless. So, like I told you in an earlier post, I have been in search of a way to “spice up” my work day. I found a little hint of spice in Kitabug69’s daily riddles. I decided to copy down the riddles and pass them around the office to each of my fellow interns with the intent of getting our brains churning. I thought this would be a great idea. After all, we are all in this same boat. We are all bored out of our minds. Unfortunately, the riddles only lasted two days. The first day I didn’t get a lot of response. I passed around Kitabug’s riddle from her post on the 27th. The interns seemed a little disoriented at first when I handed them the riddle. I got a couple odd stares. But, once they realized what it was, I thought I detected a hint of interest. At lunch we discussed the riddle. Turns out none of us were anywhere close. But, the conversation only lasted about 2 minutes because, as it turns out, not many of them gave it any more than about a minutes worth of thought before they gave up and went about their mindless tasks. I attributed this to the riddle itself. It was a very difficult riddle and didn’t lend itself well to continual contemplation. So, on the second day I passed around one of Kitabug’s older riddles, one I thought was a little easier that somebody might actually get if they thought about it. I got even less response today. One of them didn’t even look at the little post-it that I gave her and the others just read the riddle and put it off to the side, not to give it another moment’s thought. I was later ridiculed for giving out riddles. Apparently, it’s “stupid.” So sue me for trying to make your days a little more interesting, ya idiots! Gah, no appreciation. That’s the last time I try and do anything for them. Let them liven up their days in their own way.

All right, I guess my post for today wasn’t all that much shorter than normal. I did try though. I hope you all have a great day and I’ll see ya ‘round TheO!
