License Plates

I “created” a couple of license plates with the link I got off of the Knox’s blog.



SGC stands for Stargate Command, located in Colorado.



And, for the Nox ;)

Reference

I admit, sometimes I guess I can get confusing when I refer to certain people as a Tok’ra or a Nox, so for you Tau’ri (humans from earth), I have composted a list that you may use as a reference:

  • Goa’uld: Although there are many, I usually refer to myself as Goa’uld, though my proper name is Tak Simba Pez. Goa’ulds are gods.
  • Tok’ra: The true translation I suppose would be “the resistance”, but they’re really ex-Goa’ulds that apparently do not think the galaxy should be ruled by Goa’ulds. Haras Pikachu Pez is a Tok’ra, and I often refer to her as the Tok’ra.
  • Nox: “A small, peaceful, fairy-like people who occupy the planet previously thought to be uninhabited.” That’s what the people of Stargate Command define them as...but they’re some kind of weird race that can bring people back from the dead and make things invisible. They’re rather self-centered and conceded if you ask me...think they’re above everyone or something...anyway, Alled Mickey Mouse Pez is a Nox.
  • Jaffa: “Humanoid species with marsupial-like pouches, genetically engineered from humans. Their pouches serve to incubate a Goa'uld larva. The symbiote gives strong healing capabilities and strength to the Jaffa. The Jaffa constitutes the majority of the military strength of the Goa’uld.” I found that definition on the web, and it sounded a bit right...Nod (I’m not sure if he’s associated with a certain Pez yet) is a Jaffa. That silly Tok’ra keeps on calling him Shol'va (traitor), though...

Acting Camp

As I mentioned last week, I was gone from June 19th to June 24th at an acting camp. It was a lot of fun :D! I met some great people, and some great actors! The funny thing was that there was only one guy at the camp! Though, he enjoyed the attention (though, he did complain a bit about the makeover some of the girls gave him)...:P. We did a lot of acting games, and such, and saw the musical Once on this Island. It was really wonderful :)! Also, we performed on Friday Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Boy, was it hard to memorize our lines in under five days! The parts were given randomly and I was the narrator (and part of the gum machine; we barely had any props, so people had to be machines! It was quite funny...and we didn’t have costumes, either, so we all wore the camp t-shirt and some hat or something to distinguish the different characters). I didn’t have many lines, but my lines were long.

It was a great experience, and I’d love to do the High School version next year, if the Tok’ra allows me...

(Here’s a picture of the sky when we had a campfire on the first night; I’d show you more...but I don’t feel like it :P)

Star Wars/Stargate Desktop Backgrounds

Since I am going away for about a week, starting tomorrow, and I am not finished with the fourth episode, I have designed two desktop backgrounds for you to use if you’d like to until the forth episode is finished and posted on this blog. Enjoy...

(Note: the background of this desktop background was not done by me)

Game Review: Final Impression: Super Smash Brothers Melee



“Final Impression” by no means mean I won’t play it anymore. Games like this one you can play forever...:D! But anyway, I thought I might as well call it that since I completed all the events and earned all the characters (except for Toad, but I’m not totally sure if it’s the truth that you can earn him...)

Events are challenges in one player mode that you can complete. Beating all of the events will earn you the stage (somewhere to battle in multiplayer mode) “Final Destination”, where you battle the “Master Hand”, the final boss in Classic Mode (another one player mode thing...). Events can consist of a variety of things, but mostly your goal is to defeat certain challengers. The last two were the hardest. Event #50 was where you had to battle the Master Hand and it’s crazy lefty, Crazy Hand. On the Internet, it suggested using a character called Falco Lombardi. I did use him in order to beat it, but not after a long time of failing. #51 was also VERY hard. You had to beat Giga Bowser (evil, larger version of Bowser, in my opinion), Mewtwo, and Gandondorf. Mewtwo and Gandondorf are in my opinion the strongest, most difficult characters to beat (if not human controlled). However, I was able to finally defeat them with the suggested character, Jugglypuff! I thought it was so funny that they’d suggest that pokémon...but it worked! Boy, it took so long to beat the last to events, I’m probably going to take a break from that game...maybe...

Episode III: Jedi Training

And here’s the third episode! This is the one that contains one of the Tok’ra’s favorite scenes...I think you’ll know which one it is, but she can tell you which one if she feels like it. A bit more action in this one (I’ll touch up the light saber parts a bit more in the last episode), but still there is quite a bit of dialogue. I tried to make it slower with the dialogue, but don’t forget about the pause button if you need it. I have the quality set to medium, but if you think it’ll still run fine on high quality, it’s your decision to change it. No sound, again, but still, I’d pause the sound.

Happy 18th!

Just would like to post on my blog (though you may have already seen a post about it on my mom's blog) that it’s one of my cat’s birthday’s today! Today, he’s eighteen! Happy birthday, Chatham!

Quotes

I was searching around for quotes...because it's cool...and I came up with quite a few good/funny ones:



  • The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. (Albert Einstein)
  • I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. (Winston Churchill)
  • If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man but deteriorate the cat. (Mark Twain)
  • There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. (Albert Schweitzer)
  • Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy. (Joseph Campbell; don't ask why, but this quote makes me think of fire...BURN!! HA HA!!)
  • Asking if computers can think is like asking if submarines can swim. (unknown)

  • Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings. (Helen Keller)


    I found all of this quotes at WisdomQuotes.com

    Episode II: Misdialed

    Wow, this episode took a lot less time to make then the last one (maybe it's because I didn't have school or homework to worry about...hm...)! Originally, the last episode was going to be the only one, but over time, I came up with other parts to it. Hopefully, you’ll like this one, too...it’s a lot of dialogue and less action, I think...but the Tok’ra seemed to like it. Oh, and you may want to pause the sound (even though there isn’t sound in this episode) and set the quality to medium (right click...etc.). Just an idea...also, don’t forget to use the pause if needed, cause it can go a bit quickly with the dialogue (sometimes, but not always). But only if you think it needs too...

    Episode I of IV

    This is part one of a four part episode/series thingy. Although, this is the only one completed, the plot and lines for the rest are finished. You may or may not see the next part soon...depends on how much I work on the next one. I know the plot of this “episode” may be confusing...(same with the other episodes)...but oh, well. The Tok’ra said that there is a really funny part in the next one, though (well, I think in the third part, actually). Hopefully she won’t ruin it for you...oh, and I was too lazy to put in sound or fix it up. Enjoy...




    Warning: You may want to stop the sound and decrease the quality of this (by right clicking) because it runs a bit slow because of the amount of Flash things on this blog.

    Boston Trip

    From the 26 to the 29 of May was our Unitarian Universalist’s coming of age trip to Boston! It was a lot of fun, but I will not lie to you; there were some (as in VERY few) parts that were so boring I almost fell asleep, though. Our visit to Walden Pond and the duck boat tour probably were the most fun while we were there (besides the card games...! Got to love ‘em...). However, the trip was too much comprised of history, I did notice. I do enjoy some history...though (but they didn't let us go to the science museum there! We begged...but they said no...:( )...oh, and the funny thing was that on the trip when we were asked answers, the girls answered the most questions! And there were only two of us (not that it’s totally surprising because we were girls...but because of our small number)! Also, despite that the car ride was about eight hours long, it was probably the most fun too...especiall the mulitplayer Mario game and this roleplaying game we did...it kept us laughing most of the way back! Anyway, here are some pictures from the trip (all but one from the duck tour):







    School’s out forever! Erm...for the summer...

    Although I stand by my statement that the school year went VERY quickly, it seems like ages since the last summer vacation! I celebrated it by playing hours on the GameCube...since I wasn’t able to do much of it because I had to study for finals. Oh, did I do my review on Super Smash Brothers Melee? If I haven’t, then I’ll do it now...it’s one of the best games ever! I also had Super Smash Brothers for Nintendo 64, but this one is MUCH better. Also, there are a lot more characters and places to battle. I’ve earned all except two (at least I think...) of the possible characters from the came: Mewtwo (who I desperately want to earn) and Mr. Game and Watch (who the Tok’ra wants me to earn; luckily, we need to earn Mewtwo in order to get Mr. Game and Watch...)

    Anyway, I usually like battling games, and this one is no exception. What I like about games like this is that you could play it forever! It’s not a game that there is a plot, and it’s over and done eventually and you may or may not play again. Also, I really like multiplayer games, because it’s always more fun to have someone with a brain sitting there, playing with you (or against you). Which reminds me to tell you I do have four controllers...not hinting anything...just telling you...(since the Tok'ra won't always play with me...)
