Do not hesitate to request things to add to our humble mansion. It is currently a barren shack.
I recall Ben being very pro-LINE in the past.
Welcome to Final Fantasy®.
A 92 in spiritual energy is gorgeous. Soon one can channel it and start casting spells in the name of thaumaturgy. Keep working hard, friend!
They must call it Black Friday from all the black eyes one gets when scrambling for marked-down prices.
Well you see, the south is always rebellious. South Canada is no exception.

Time to save up rupees. A shame India's economy is not doing as well, however.

Ah yes, statistics class.
It certainly deserves some appreciation.
We all are, to some extent.
Along with the .hack recommendations in the thread, you might enjoy x Which I personally feel plays out the concept of being stuck in a game more amusingly and well-written than SAO. But if you preferred the show more for its character interactions and the like, there is a slew of character-driven shows you can check out that I feel also personally do things better than SAO. SAO was quite alright. I enjoyed season one but season two did not sit that well with me. It was something one could watch in fun, but I would not call it absolutely astounding or put it on my personal standards of excellence in anime. The scenario did prompt a flood of fifty thousand Kiritos around worldwide conventions however, so more than anything it is just the average sort of show whose qualities make it endearing to a majority of people.
You could call it a TEAR-O FINALE
This is partly tied to understanding what exactly a holiday is. Not all "holidays" are days off, and not all days off can be considered "holidays" in the sense (I never consider staying at home due to a tearful bout of bronchitis or flu a holiday, no matter how many games I get to play or books I get to read). From a number of sources (Wiki, dictionaries, etc.) it can be safely gauged that a "holiday" is just any sort of day where common day-to-day activities in society, such as work, have the potential to be suspended for celebration or leisure under custom, or in certain cases (such as Christmas), the law. By and by, this definition is very loose, and accordingly so different nations around the world (and heck, even different parts of the nations themselves) put different levels of significance on certain holidays, and the consideration of which holiday is important is usually dependent on the region's established customs itself. For example, Eid is a public holiday in Turkey, but in the United States, it is not treated as one.* Furthermore, holidays do not require an established religious or cultural background to exist. Some exist purely on the backs of marketing and commercialization, such as today's interpretation of Father's Day. A number of civic holidays exist more or less to literally give the working force a break. The idea of what constitutes a holiday is highly varied. You can work on a holiday as well, but at the bare minimum what they do seem to constitute is some slight difference or change in everyday conditions in order to celebrate or have some sort of leisure time. Whether or not this would be a holiday to certain people, or in cases of government-sponsored holidays, all people, is dependent upon the culture and the customs of the region. * = This comparison was used because both Turkey and the United States are considered in their respective spheres of influence (the Eastern Mediterranean/Northern Middle East and North America) to be regional-dominant secular states, and the comparison lies in these secular states' acknowledgements of traditionally religious holidays (Eid and Christmas) as public holidays, despite not recognizing the other. Although in the case of the US, Christmas is arguably secularized enough internationally, and it is given observance in Turkey.
Attempting to slowly plod through the glorious surreal masterpiece that is Proust's Swann's Way. I feel as if I am in a dream whenever I gaze upon the sentences upon sentences of memories.
It is hard for thread to stand much alone support its own weight unless you have some sort of needle at the least, you see.
