Good News For the Gay Community

Popular SCI FI's new franchise Stargate Universe has broken the boundaries that that Stargate Franchise said it would never go into.

Stargate Universe will have Gay characters.


“There are at least one and potentially more gay characters on Universe,” Cooper said in answer to a fan’s question. Wright stated, “There’s actually two.”


One that we know of right now is Camille Way (Ming-Na).


I have to say this is an interesting direction for the franchise to go. Stargate usually wanted to keep something like this off of the show due to the fact that it would stir up too much of a social debate. Even though Science Fiction has always been an outlet for social and political issues I am led to wonder whether Cooper and Wright are making the correct decision.


“This goes towards our goal to make the characters on Universe as complex and complicated and realistic and identifiable as we can, to as many people as we can,” Cooper said. “And that’s not just a desire for ratings. That’s the desire to portray humanity, and make a show that is saying something about who we are.”



It seems though that fans are not as excited as was planned. For such a liberal franchise Stargate seems to draw in many social conservative viewers. some even said that due to this they would probably not watch the show, neither will their family.


I of course, a social liberal and loyal democrat will watch Stargate Underground. It is still Stargate and it is living up to it's job as a Science Fiction show to present us with the issues we are facing today.

USD 500: What Really Grinds My Gears

I thought the title appropraite for the things that the School district is doing at this current time.

As if blocking every website known to man want enough of a problem USD 500 is finding it funny to crash students hard drives now.

That is what happened to me last evening. I was doing what I usually do, Looking at videos, checking e-mail and putting together the magazine. all of a sudden the cursor does the spinny pinwheel thing that it does when applications do not respond. After shutting down the computer for like 5-10 minutes i turned it on but it would not boot the OS. I thought that this may be a one time error so i proceeded to shut it down and try again. After 10 times i figured that there was a hard drive error. (partially due to the fact I head a funny noise coming from the hard drive)

I proceeded to take the laptop apart. I know that the Gods at USD 500 Office would frown upon that but I am more qulified than the Pong players at USD 500's IT offices. n the middle of the operation I called my comrade David to see if he knows what is going on. To my surprise he was having the same problem as well.

After calling various students from Various High schools in the school district I realized that this was not localized and it all had the same constant, We were connected to the internet.

When the laptops are connected to the internet the School District can do anything they want to it. This includes security upgrades, file deleting, even frying the hard drive. When the laptop program was announced the IT department could GPS track any laptop any time. If it was stolen they could track it and fry the hard drive remotely.

So i now know what they did. I now have a spare computer and it sucks.

Time to Party like it's 2002!!!

We just purchased the Galidor DVD's. Woo hoo!
We had a little snag though. When I made an offer It was rejected. ergo my ability to purchase said item was banned. but me being the industrious little son of a b17ch I am i had a second account just in case something like this happened. Since Californians are not known for their brains no one will know.

Waiting..... Waiting......

Today was my day to shine. Get the Galidor: Defenders Of The Outer Dimension DVD's from iOffer . I would then proceed to get them and nerd out like it was 2002. But alas Mon Pere is stonewalling again. He is not realizing that iOffer has the only copies of Galidor on DVD. He of course promised that we would get them today. (And I knew it) It ain't gonna happen.

My Favorite Anime Of All Time

Zatch Bell . I don;t know what drew me in to liking it but I just did. Ever since I saw it on Cartoon Network I was impressed with the show and the story.

For those of you who don't know what it is

One hundred mamodo go to Earth every 1,000 years to battle to be the king of the mamodo world. Each mamodo has a particular element which it can control and attack with, a set of body supporting spells, and other spells (e.g. a defensive spell), all via the use of a special spell book. Each mamodo needs a human partner in order to use his or her spell book, and if his or her spell book is burned, the mamodo is forced to return to the mamodo world. While the spells in each book typically are different for each mamodo, there are mamodo that share spells. The human and their mamodo gain these spells through experience. Each spell book is a different color. The last mamodo standing without their book burnt is the new mamodo king.

The main human character, Kiyo Takamine, is a 14-year old boy in junior high school. His father, Seitaro Takamine, discovers an unconscious mamodo named Zatch Bell while in a forest in England. His father sends the mamodo to be Kiyo's mentor. Unlike the other mamodo, Zatch lost his memory of the mamodo world. Kiyo and Zatch are now caught up in the battle to be the king of the mamodos.

SMS Cultural Exchange canceled

For any Wyandotte STUCO member who reads this you can blame our President, Darrian Porter. The last few days for STUCO Darrian has been MIA for 99% of the meeting on Monday.  for the 1% he shows up for at the end of the meeting he acts like he is the boss of everything and he was present at the meeting the entire time.

Today Shawnee Mission South's Student Council was supposed to come today to view our school. Unfortuantely Darrian slacked off again and did not make a plan that our building principal asked for. Darrian was too intrested in slacking of in school, playing with his cell phone and acting stupid around his friends. I told out STUCO adviser that I would make the plan so the SMS kids could come next week.

Does this sound like a leader to you?
