I just watched a show on H2 (previously History International) about Alexander the Great. It was an episode of Ancients Behaving Badly which is pretty hilarious. Despite the fact that he was a cruel, drunken tyrant with a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder, they rated him as barely more psychotic than Gengis Khan. Caligula was at the very top of the chart.

The animations were great. It looked like they were trying for a cross between anime and comic book illustrations.

I have no idea why I watched the show. I do terrible things when procrastinating. My English paper isn't due until Friday, so I have time to watch television.

It seems introductions are going around. I'm Shizuka Jounouchi! I'm from Japan, and I'm here attending Harmony University. I apologize in advance - my English is not perfect. I work part time at Stagecoach Coffee House. I love visitors!

	Wow, I had no idea English wasn't your first language! You could have fooled me, to be honest. I'm not proud of this, but history shows make me fall asleep. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_shizuka_ 2012-01-11 01:16 am UTC (link)
	I've been learning it since I was in elementary school but I'm not very good with languages. Most of them are boring, but this show is over the top enough to be entertaining. I recorded an episode about Hannibal, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cloudedskyes 2012-01-11 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Me neither. I went to a private school in France and I swear, all the French I retained was "Où sont les toilettes s'il vous plaît". So I'd say you're doing great. Hannibal? Like, the guy in that movie who ate people? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just googled that, and it seems like one of the most important phrases you can learn. ...no, the historical figure. He did conquering or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cloudedskyes 2012-01-11 01:59 am UTC (link)
	It's definitely a useful phrase. But I spent almost five years there, I don't know how I could have lost so much of the language. I could speak it a little. Wow, really? I wonder if the cannibal was based of him, like, personality wise... Yeah, I don't know anything about History. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Procrastination is a cruel mistress. But such a beautiful one. I say fuck the paper and watch boring history shows if you want. Especially if it's not due til the end of the week. Nice to meet you, Shizuka. I'm Jennifer. What's Japan like? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_shizuka_ 2012-01-11 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Support! I love it! Though I'd rather be shopping than watching tv. Makes me feel too lazy. Jennifer! What a pretty name! Japan is...well, parts of it are very crowded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerbody 2012-01-11 01:22 am UTC (link)
	Well, I'd say you should go shopping instead, but Harmony is a bitch. The mall closes at 8. Thanks. Shizuka is pretty too. Does it mean something? ...haha, all you have to say about your old home is it's crowded? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_shizuka_ 2012-01-11 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Internet shopping is good enough until then. And the WalMart is 24 hours so there's at least stuff to look at. It means quiet or calm. There's always something to do! Things are open late. And we have hot springs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerbody 2012-01-11 02:01 am UTC (link)
	Oh, honey. I wouldn't even buy lightbulbs at Walmart. Internet shopping I'll give you, but it's so much better to see a garment on your body. Do you think it reflects your personality? Hot springs? What's that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't know you were going to be here, Shizuka... What a weird coincidence. Uh, when did you get here? Your English is really good. Probably better than mine, you did live Stateside for awhile, didn't you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_shizuka_ 2012-01-11 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Mokuba-san! I'm glad you're here. I moved to Harmony at the beginning of the fall semester. I just haven't spent much time online until now. Not for very long, but I guess it was long enough. I always thought your brother would make sure you spoke good English, you know, for business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I had no clue you were moving here. I guess I really don't have contact with you, though, so maybe it makes sense. If Nii-sama knew, he didn't tell me.

Do you like it here? It's pretty nice. Kinda quiet compared to Domino. But I like it.

He actually didn't ask me to learn English, but since we went to America so often I thought it'd be useful. I don't know, though, I worry I'll make mistakes and nobody will tell me.

	Considering his comment above, he did not know either. Why does he think I have a dog though? I do like it! Everyone's really nice. I miss being home though. So long as people understand you! That's the most important thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebetterkaiba 2012-01-11 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Uh... He's not talking about an actual dog. I think he means Jounouchi. Why did you move here of all places? I suppose, but if I'm doing something wrong I like to know. Rebecca always lets me know when I mess up, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
