Watching all these documentaries about space and the planets and the universe made me realize that I'm still pissed they demoted Pluto into a dwarf planet, instead of letting it retain its place in the galaxy as our 9th planet. Just... agh. Poor Pluto.

Aw Pluto. At least, it's not alone in its oddness anymore. XD Icon, however, is at least somewhat appropriate.

It isn't! But... you know, I think we all grew up knowing the concept of our solar system having nine planets, so one of them getting booted out is like... painful. In a weird kind of way.

And yeah, Setsuna is totally my favorite senshi ever.

I see what you mean. Back when I was still interested in astronomy, I was really fascinated with the thought of a tenth planet - so the number changing in the other direction is sort of... strangely depressing.

Heh! My favourite has always been Usagi, but Setsuna is just utterly cool.

I only knew about the possibility of a tenth planet (...ninth now, sob) just... today, actually. That just completely blew me away. One of the things I don't understand, though, is that how come scientists know of planets/galaxies/stars which are millions of lightyears away, yet anything beyond the Kuiper belt is a big mystery to them. :\

I don't know too much about it, but I think visibility plays a major factor. Difficult to get a good look at everything close to us, when we're actually surrounded by it? Easier, perhaps, when there aren't tons of things in the way of the wavelengths; the Kuiper Belt really is a busy, busy thing...

Hmm, probably. I haven't really thought about that angle, but... yeah, it makes sense.

I HAVE A QUESTIONNN

Where can I find the list of counselors' jobs? Just so I'll have an idea on what job to give Jii :D

[personal profile] pussyfortono 2010-10-26 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! you make one up! I have three counselors. Byakuran is a trauma counselor & Otoya is a violin coach & Airi is a coffee specialist. Just make one up for Jii.

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2010-10-26 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh so it's possible that two or more counselors will have the same job?

[personal profile] pussyfortono 2010-10-26 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Probably! But it's easy to make one up. You can put down something like "LORD TRAINER" or "motorcycle specialist"

[personal profile] pussyfortono 2010-10-26 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
No problem! If you have any other questions just ask me \o
