And if even after watching all of the Jurassic Park movies you still think owning a dinosaur would be awesome, this game is for you.

Eight more days? Actually after today its only seven, but, I dunno. I guess I'm just going to have to tough it out. I can last seven more days ^_^; And according to Syk, yesterday should have been 158. Are you sure? I guess until I go home and check with my calendar(which is in a box somewhere in my closet) I'll just have to nod and say, "ok, today is 159 then." Still, I can't believe that Shinmaru has quit before me. Atleast he had the courage to say that he's had enough and he can't post anymore. TehSillyCircus 2 has run its course and in seven days time I shall be declared the winner. Here's hoping I can last seven days. I'm sure I can, or at least I hope I can. All I know is that I'm going to be extremely relieved once this contest is finally over. This contest has had a huge impact on me, though. Its become such a habit to post everyday, I think I'm going to be paranoid about not posting everyday for a few months now. I might never even be able to fall back into my old posting habits. (Posting every two or three days or so, or just when I had something interesting to say) Win A Free Anime T-Shirt! I found out that the winners were chosen for the "Win a free anime t-shirt" contest today after reading Katana's myOtaku. Then I headed over to the main page and saw the winners. I read the comments on the winners post and then I went back and read the winners' entries. And I must say, I agree with Sabaku, Katana and the others: I would like to know how the entries were judged. Was it random? Quality based? Quantity even? If it was random, it did those who took time to write their entries no justice. If it was quality or even quantity, then it must have been some kind of fluke that sailor firestar, fey and just2kawaii won. I read through most of the entries. There were many other entries that were much better than those three's. If the winners were chosen at random, then why did we have to write about our favorite anime possession at all? Why not just comment saying, "Yes, enter me in the contest!"? We users should be allowed to know how the judging was sanctioned. Its only fair that we know so we can further improve our entries into the contests. If it was random, then I believe I would not have written my entry the way I had(or maybe I would have, just because I can). If it was based on quality, I would have took even more time to write my entry. And another quip that comes into my mind: 250 characters is an inadequate number to comment about your favorite anime possession with, or even to just comment and express your opinions or feelings at all. Such as my comment on the "Contest winners picked" post from earlier today. I had much more to say, but due to the fact that I had very few characters left, I was cut short. Maybe I should complain to someone, maybe I shouldn't. But either way, I still don't agree with the winners who were picked, but I shall congratulate them anyway. So, congratulations, however you happened to win. I think a post from me complaining about the results of the anime t-shirt contest is enough for one day. So, until tomorrow... -DDG Day: (first will be according to Syk, second listed number after the / will be what I believe it is until I check my calendar tomorrow...) 159/160 EDIT: Just read Adam's reply to the comments on the main page: The guy from that site picked the one's that he liked best huh? ... Maybe if I was Shinmaru I would have something funny or mean to say about this, but since I'm not, I'll just say congratulations to the winners.... I'm a pretty bad sore loser sometimes because I've never won a single contest in my entire life >.> Well, one's where prizes were at stake, like free anime stuff or video games or something.
