Looking at photos

Update:

I have finally got the archives section up and running. Now for anyone who liked to read previous posts it will actually work with any browser now (at least I think it will). It should work with browsers like firefox and what not. Now you can read to your hearts content!!!

I took this photo of my cousin Jana while we were at his brothers house (Mahi's) playing a board game called Settlers of Katan among other games. Jana has quite a large collection of board games and card games. Every time we go to Mahi's place for board games and dinner he always brings something new. However the rest of us are very focussed on playing settlers of Katan so we don't always get around to trying his other games.

Today was a very boring day at work. I finished Ultimate X-men vol 1 and I have mixed feelings about the comic. It looked stunning but certain parts of the story I felt were too strange. I grew up with the cartoon and I feel that was great, possibly because it was moving characters, possibly because I was 7 when I watched it. Regardless Ultimate X-men is a very interesting view of remaking an old classic.

When I went to my cousin Mahi's place today for another day of boardgames we were talking about the ultimate series and came to an interesting discovery. All the old series like The avengers, fantastic 4, x-men, spiderman, they now all have ultimate series. So it will be strange to see what happens in 10 years because people may not know which fact about a superhero is true anymore. Both the originals and the ultimates contain the same characters but completely different stories. In x-mens case the characters are the same, just their back stories are different, and I think the timeline is a little closer to the present. The original which it was based on may seem to be the true story of a character, but when you think about it ultimates remade the series completely, so what is wrong with saying the wolverine in ultimate x-men is what wolverine really is, not the wolverine from the uncanny x-men. Mind you whoever is reading this is probably wondering why I care so much about comics, but it was cool to talk about.

When everyone arrived at my cousin mahi's house we started playing Settlers of Katan. As always I lost, but the game is still super fun. After a very long game we talked for a while then headed home. Now I must get some good sleep and prepare for a long day of work tomorrow.

Can't wait to go to waterloo this weekend. I have a math contest I must destroy. Hopefully I can find a good luck charm, the contest is just crazy logic statements.

On yet another side note I may actually get around to remaking this site. Perhaps I will do the unthinkable, learn html, css and make an ultra simple layout.
