Leave me a comment saying "Cripes A'Mighty."
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions
[thejim's Questions:] 1) Favourite Mecha and why?
Probably the Aestivalis from Nadesico. Granted, it's not that big and it's not that powerful, but it's quick, it's tough, it looks cool, and can be adapted dozens of ways depending on the mission.
2) Favourite Mecha-centric series and why?
Right now it's a bizarre even split between Zeta Gundam and The Big O. Zeta Gundam because I identify a lot with Camille Vidan and how, as a misfit, he'd get himself in trouble every so often. The Big O because of its psychology and how it works in spite of its juxtaposition of police/private eye procedural and giant superhero robot elements.
3) Aviation Management...what is it? What got you interested in it?
The economic science and practices behind the running of an aviation-related business: airlines, airports, aircraft factories, flight schools, crop dusting, air taxi and so on. This was a compromise because my folks didn't have the funds for me to concentrate strictly on a Professional Pilot program (which is aimed at making the student Airline Captain material).
4) What got you interested in Mecha in the first place?
I'd been a fan of Japanese science-fiction cartoons since childhood, specifically Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers...so when Robotech came along at the time I left High School, I was pretty receptive to it.
5) What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen GRF-5K Griffin? Alternately, what is the level-ground maximum speed of a Scopedog? Why did you know either of those?
The -5K variant is new to me. I only have handy information on the earlier models...although, if the Griffin were fitted with the disposable wing system its anime Soltic Roundfacer inspiration could use, then it could easily exceed the 15 meters per second "book figures". As for the Scopedog, the Roller Dash system redlines at 108 kilometers per hour. This isn't spelled out in the VOTOMS RPG rulebook, but can be easily calculated. PS: Just saw on SARNA.net that the -5K Griffin can do 24 meters per second airborne.

Jan: Midnight was a slice of bread pizza in the oven and echoes from some town's very loud fireworks.
Feb: A family friend gave me a new CD case--with over ten times the capacity of my well-traveled but still nice CD wallet.
Mar: The Lion's Roar was a heavy shower overnight, and snow this afternoon.
Apr: Without Awesome I Might Not Survive The Week So I Am Note Even Gonna Try
May: New Sensors Can Detect Land Mines From The Air.
June: PS: In the interest of SCIENCE...if somebody came up with a comestible product/recipie called "Instant Tuesday", what would you expect the ingredients to be?
July: Easier written than done.
Aug: I've been waiting for the next World War to break out over the last three or four Augusts.
Sept: And this is just the START of the fight.
Oct: I gave up being friends with someone once due to the other person expressing a blatantly racist opinion.
Nov: I just took a quick peek at New Astrology but decided not to repost the month horoscopes here.
Dec: I AM the tech-geek in my life.
Went by Aleks' place after the seminar today and saw fresh tire tracks in his driveway and some things in the place had been moved around. The optimist in my thoughts says that his family came and got things he needed in his convalescence. The pessimist paradigm doesn't know what to think, but at least it isn't like strangers are squatting in it or it's being torn down.

Your result for What is Your Anime Persona Quiz... The Rather Cool TypeIs it cool in here or is it just you? 
Awesome! You are the cool type, and nothing fazes that statue of ice that you have built. You are calm, quiet, and pretty damn hot, probably very smart too! People tremble in fear of your mind games and chess playing skills, as you talk your way out of a parking ticket without breaking a sweat. Yes, you are the cool type, and you will not tone it down.

( What I've been journaling about )
Meanwhile, now I'm having to think about what I'm going to need when classes start. Clothes, tools, textbooks, sundry items, steel-toed shoes...
And at the top of the list--a new alarm clock. I actually have to get up in the morning on a regular basis again.
It was cool while it lasted. :/
