Rather than thinking it oldfashioned, I consider it proven technology

I never got used to pens. Pencils and erasers are my best friends since what, elementary school?

Calculus is just math with pre-determined equations. I really don't find it all that difficult, since the problem solving for each question is usually a generic (insert this formula and solve) strategy. The one exception is matrices. I hate matrices. I second that! I did better in Calc ...

I'm actually looking for a Kawai now =) I've seen some good reviews about it, and it seems to be cheaper than a Steinway. I've also found out what that "centenary" thing on that Steinway I mentioned stands for. It's a 100+ old piano, which means I would have to spend lo...

I found The Passion of Christ to be very moving.

Evangelion is also very moving, in its own weird way :)

It is probably the best without getting a piano that has a long German name. Boesendorfer? :D I'll probably start with something good, since I'm not very fond of the idea of buying a so-so piano just to regret it later. So, Steinway it is... now for the money, that's going to be tough :/

For the pianists out there... what do you guys think about the following piano? http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-71819546-piano-centenario-steinway-cauda-_JM From the picture, it seems to be a Steinway Model O (1.83 meters +-). The seller also mentions something about a "centenary...

Well, actually, it's not Eva songs, but songs that are played in the series =) I did these recordings some 5 years ago, there are some tempo mistakes here and there, but I think they are still good recordings =) Here are the links: http://www.4shared.com/file/40524470/3897e710/Leo_-_Air_...

Besides Eva, I would say philosophy and beliefs. And like Reichu said, my parents and family.

I play guitar and I try to play the piano :)

I did recordings of some eva songs for the good people of the now defunct NGE Portal Forum. If there's interest, I may post them here. Have to find the mp3's first. They are somewhere on my backup DVDs =)

e.g: "Well, at least I ain't one of those people who have skin cancer! Phew!" That works for me. When I'm feeling down, I just think of the people who surely are in a worse life than mine. And there's plenty of them, homeless, sick, injured, maimed, fighting in wars, criminals...

Ahhh, good 'n old Evangelion. Even the studio's name leads to lenghty discussions among eva fans =) (by the way, I've just watched 1.0... it's incredible how can just watching the series again awaken all those mixed feelings that were long forgotten... eva is strange... reall...

I use orkut. It's all the rage here in Brazil. These social networks are great for keeping in touch with people you've met, but they have turned into quite the narcissism corner now :P

I saw on the news at animepro that Eva is to be released on DVD, and they intend on having the same crew for the dub process...

UFO sighting in Sao Paulo - Brazil.
Watch it until the end. The thing changes shape and actually looks like an EVA angel :P

Be careful, we are nearing 2015 :P

I'm a big fan of RPGs. Though I wish I had more free time to spend on them =) My favorites are Baldur's Gate 2, Deus Ex and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. In my opinion, they offer great story and great opportunities to ROLE PLAY, something that I feel is missing from many new so ca...

Angra. The original line-up. The new one is not my cup of tea.
There's also Dream Theater.

Hummm, being Japanese is living on a 20m apartment and having a big plasma TV on your room ;)

"Beep... beep... beep..." - Sputnik I

MM, you should spend that communism energy of yours playing some Civilization :P

Well, I seem to be the only portuguese speaker here...
Me speaks brazillian portuguese (native), english and some german =)

There are also some programming languages too :P

Whoa! Next in line is the second coming of Christ!

Duke Nukem... Forever =D

I have sooo many good memories of Duke3D. At school we were always rushing to the computers to play it multiplayer. Old coaxial cables only supported about 5 five players until the lag got unbearable
