timepiececlock: (naruto_ thursday's child)

G.I.P.

Random note: my right arrow key on my keyboard doesn't work anymore. Or my down arrow. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I've been experimenting with Adobe ImageReady today. I am in love. This is so much easier and more creative than the other program I was using. I can't believe this program was sitting on my computer untouched for nearly two years.

I think I'm going to make a set of animated Naruto icons to this poem. It should be fun.

Monday's child is fair of face, [Ino]
Tuesday's child is full of grace, [Hinata]
Wednesday's child is full of woe, [Sasuke]
Thursday's child has far to go, [Naruto]
Friday's child is loving and giving, [Sakura]
Saturday's child works hard for a living, [Lee--- how could I resist?]

I don't think I'll have anything for this part:
But the child that is born on the Sabbath Day,
Is bonnie and blithe and good and gay.

Trying this again since the last post didn't seem to go through. Anyway, I haven't forgotten about you. It's just that I'm waiting every ten eps to write something since each ep seems to be a smaller part of the whole. And, from what I can see, there should be fifty or so eps out there, so I think this should suffice for now. Also, those words, are they from the Decemberists? They seem familiar for some odd reason.

there's 68 naruto episodes out right now. I've seen 63. I got 1-24 from the FTP server and the rest from bitorrent. I was just rereading some of your posts, did you get the 1st ep to work? I'm sorry you've had trouble. I've been looking at the epsiodes in both RealOnePlayer and MediaPlayer, and I haven't got a green screen. Though for #64 (which I've given up on) I downloaded it twice and still got only audio track.

since each ep seems to be a smaller part of the whole.

Yep, it is. It's all continuous long story arcs, unlike Inuyasha or other shows where there's a story-of-the-week thing going on. There will be several transitional eps and then BAM!! Two or three or five episodes where all sorts of crazy shit happens and you're like "What the hey? Frelling awesome!"

Actually, this poem is a very old nursery rhyme (probalby british.) It's rather famous; I'm surprised you don't recognize it. It's something to do with memorizing the days of the week, I guess. I never really understood the point of it, but it sounds poetic, and if you ever see a book or a song that's titled or uses the phrase "monday's child" or "tuesday's child" etc, it's a reference to this rhyme.

The only variation of that poem I know involves Solomon Grundy, so there ya go. I get my poem learning from comic books. In case you've never heard it, it goes something like this.

Solomon Grundy,
Born on Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
This is the end of
Solomon Grundy.

I think the author is J. H. Summers, but my memory's kinda hazy on that.

never heard it before. But wow, I'm kind of amazed about the other one-- the neat kind of amazed, like when you meet someone whose never heard of star wars, or something. One of those things you take for granted that other people will know.

How far along are you at Naruto? When you watch the 24 on the FTP, use the bittorrent link on the side of my journal-- it has every episode up.

Just finished dl'ing eleven. Working on twelve right now. Did say I was going to post my thoughts on eps 1-10, but after last night's Angel, my heart really isn't into Naruto right now. I'm sure once I get the Angel ep out of my system, I'll be able to write something resembling a review for the first ten eps.

I take it from your tone that you haven't seen You're Welcome yet?

hah! I'm so far behind it ain't funny. I've seen Harm's Way. I have damage and you're welcome recorded. I'm going to be getting Soul purpose soon, and then I'll sit down and watch them all.
