Oh, no thanks. I don't what that imagery in my head.

gfox approves of dragons having swords under their crotches. Here's what he said last night on Steam:

01:16 - gfox: CITIZENS. DEMAND. MOAR. DRAGONS. WITH. SWORDS. FOR. DICKS.
01:17 - gfox: enough unicorns with dicks for horns!
01:17 - gfox: We want dragons with swords for dicks, damnit!

I couldn't agree more.

Woah, careful with that, young dragon!

Why should I? It's my sword.

Indeed I have and it's a really interesting album but I still can't help but think that The National Anthem was inspired by King Crimson.

Lol, I doubt it. But I wouldn't be too surprised if that really was the case. ^^

Have you even listened to King Crimson before?

As a matter of fact, I prefer the cover over the original. Then again, it's Rhapsody, they can increase the epicness of songs like The Power of Thy Sword.

Yes, they should simply rename the band to "Rhapsody of Epicness".

Now I wonder why they didn't name themselves that and went with Rhapsody of Fire instead..

So, I was too busy watching the baseball last night... perhaps tonight... no, there's baseball. Monday is baseball and Tuesday I'm at friends, but we'll see.

More Futurama references? Fuck, I'm starting to forget things. I blame myself watching horrible Simpsons episodes again.

That wasn't a Futurama Episode reference at all. I was being serious, because my schedule is packed. Game 5 tonight and I'm starting to feel the effects of burning the candle at both ends. Of course, the USA going to Daylight Savings hasn't helped, as now the games finish around 5am, as opposed to 4am

Save that for the Poozy haters.

Already saved, my good man.

Say, has Poozy seen that video yet?

I'm sure he has - it was to do with something that he takes great passion in - cranes and American Sports.

Sadly I dozed off and missed the game and it was a good thing too, apparently. Ha!
I was nice for Alex to show up to the game. I knew if Hamels struggled then it wouldn't take much for the Yanks to capitalize on it.

And last night was a nail biter as well. Melky came up lame and Johnny Damon came up big to advance to 3rd, which was a game breaker. I think that may have finally proven to the Phils that we deserve to be Champions and may just kill off the series.

Well, he was pretty good as a pinch hitter last night, but you've got to consider that Joe Girardi might call on him for one game (tonight?), because his meddling with the squad has come up pretty good so far :P

Yeah, I'll give him that and the game is tonight at 8:20p EST/1:20a GMT

With Melky a potential issue with hamstring trouble, could we see Damon in Centre Field, with Matsui patrolling left? I doubt it, as if Melky isn't playing, we can expect to see Brett Gardner

2 more wins to go. As a Yankees fan, bringing CC Sabathia to the mound tonight, against Joe Blanton, you can't help but feel confident.

The Phillies really really needed to take game 3 because I knew CC would start game 4 in order to split in Philadelphia. It looks like they really have dug a hole for themselves and clearly the momentum has shifted.

And that countdown now reaches 1. We're going to have to do it the hard way - Cliff Lee stands in the way and we're sending the best pitcher from our World Series platoon so far (AJ Burnett) to the mound. Should be a cracker, though I doubt a pitcher's duel in Citizen's Bank Ballpark.

Alright. We don't really have anything like that here. At the university you simply do a Bachelor and then a Master. If you graduate however, you get to pick whether you want to be a Master or an "Ingenieur" (the Dutch title for Engineer). Personally I prefer Master as a title :p

Too bad that all the study courses are now being converted into Bachelor/Master. When I began my studies I was in the last "Diplom-year" and now I have to finish everything until 2012. Time is getting pretty short now. ^^

Hmm that kinda sucks indeed. I have something similar here. They came up with a new system with all kinds of new subjects and I was among the last to go with the old system. So I have to be at a certain amount of EC at the end of each year, otherwise I'll have to go do the new system (which is gonna cost me a year). Since my study is quite difficult, I must say I have lots of trouble trying to stay ahead =/

Yeah, we only have examns at the end of each semester, no tests in between as well.

Oh okay. I thought you said you had several tests that all counted to one grade for one subject.

Yeah, we only have examns at the end of each semester, no tests in between as well.

Oh okay. I thought you said you had several tests that all counted to one grade for one subject.

It's a bit complicated. I have certain "fields" (like "universal business studies", there's also a field which is called "specific business studies") where I have to gather a certain amount of points, but to get those I have to attend specific lectures that are part of this field and take a test in this lecture. If I pass the examn, I get points (basically I get 3 points for a lecture, but it may be different, depending on how many semester periods per week the lecture had, and if there was some kind of tutorial, etc.).
I need at least 10 points to pass a certain "field" (there's no limit on how many points I can gather in a field, so if I want to attend more lectures than necessary I can do that).

But all those examns are at the end of each semester, and there's a second during the semester break. Usually I write my examns on this second date, gives me more time to prepare for the examn. ^^

Oh that's kinda lame. In our case we simply have to do some other subjects in the new system that are sort of the same as the old one. That seems like a better solution to me since you're not pretty much forced to solve it yourself if you screw up.

Oh okay. I thought you said you had several tests that all counted to one grade for one subject.

Sounds a bit like the EC system, but with much more freedom. So your basic study is business studies and within that study you can educate yourself in certain fields?

But all those examns are at the end of each semester, and there's a second during the semester break. Usually I write my examns on this second date, gives me more time to prepare for the examn. ^^

Oh and are those second ones like resits then?

It seems similar to my year. My year is divided in periods and two periods is one semester. There are exams at the end of each period and if you fail, you can (usually) do a resit in the next period. Unfortunately, if you fail exams in June you gotta resit them in August which kinda sucks =/

01:17 - gfox: We want dragons with swords for dicks, damnit!

I couldn't agree more.

We'll I can't deny the masses of what they want, so here it is. :D

Haha, nice pic! XD

Because the riot will end pretty soon if you acidentally behead all those who are rioting.

Oh, that sucks. Can't I still charge through whoever supports Daylight Saving?

I guess that would actually help us in getting rid of Daylight Saving.

Have you even listened to King Crimson before?

No. And don't plan doing so in the future.

And why is that?

Because I thought it was some song from Manowar. A quick look on google told me that this isn't the case at all. -.-

Now I wonder why they didn't name themselves that and went with Rhapsody of Fire instead..

Maybe they thought, they shouldn't state the obvious.

But they needed to establish their epicness even more.

They do that with their songs.

They came up with a new system with all kinds of new subjects and I was among the last to go with the old system. So I have to be at a certain amount of EC at the end of each year, otherwise I'll have to go do the new system (which is gonna cost me a year). Since my study is quite difficult, I must say I have lots of trouble trying to stay ahead =/

For me, it's not that difficult, it's more like, that subjects I need to finish my studies simply aren't offered anymore. I then have to learn a script and find someone who is willing to offer an oral examn...

Oh that's kinda lame. In our case we simply have to do some other subjects in the new system that are sort of the same as the old one. That seems like a better solution to me since you're not pretty much forced to solve it yourself if you screw up.

Yeah, they try to do something similar here, but sometimes a lecture isn't needed anymore for the bachelors, so they don't offer it anymore.

Oh okay. I thought you said you had several tests that all counted to one grade for one subject.

It's a bit complicated. I have certain "fields" (like "universal business studies", there's also a field which is called "specific business studies") where I have to gather a certain amount of points, but to get those I have to attend specific lectures that are part of this field and take a test in this lecture. If I pass the examn, I get points (basically I get 3 points for a lecture, but it may be different, depending on how many semester periods per week the lecture had, and if there was some kind of tutorial, etc.).
I need at least 10 points to pass a certain "field" (there's no limit on how many points I can gather in a field, so if I want to attend more lectures than necessary I can do that).

Sounds a bit like the EC system, but with much more freedom. So your basic study is business studies and within that study you can educate yourself in certain fields?

I'm studying "Business Informatics" and I'm not entirely sure if I understand your question correctly, because it's really hard to translate all those terms correctly.
I'm finished with the "basic study period", now I'm in the "main study period" (or "advanced study period"). And within the main study period there are certain requirements I have to fullfill, like getting 10 bonus points in "ABWL" (which I tried to translate as "universal business studies"), 10 bonus points in "Wirtschaftsinformatik A" (=Business Informatics A), attending 2 out of 3 given lectures (and passing the examns, of course) for "Wirtschaftsinformatik B" (=Business Informatics B) and so on.
But within those "fields" I named (well except for "Business Informatics B", where I can only choose between 3 lectures) I can choose between a wide range of lectures.

But all those examns are at the end of each semester, and there's a second during the semester break. Usually I write my examns on this second date, gives me more time to prepare for the examn. ^^

Oh and are those second ones like resits then?

Yeah, the second date is called "Nachschreibetermin" which basically means, everybody who flunked the test on the first date can have a second try there. But it's not mandatory to write the examns on the first date.
Also, it's not mandatory to write the examn again on the second date if you flunked on the first date.
