Boxers would be real nice, right now. It's friggin' hot. Well, warm. But still.
On a guy? Commando! Well, not really. Boxer briefs, I guess. But between those... uh... boxers. Tighty-whities are just odd these days. What's been your latest addiction? |

All right, gotta add another one... The Ting Tings -- "That's Not My Name"
Oh. My. Fucking. God. Stop playing this song. Seriously, I thought it was hip hop until I saw the video for it just now. |

So my university, like many others around California (and the rest of the United States, I'm sure), has been making cuts left and right.
Essential general education and major classes have been canceled. Faculty are going through furloughs. We're actually shutting down for a week in October, so no one will be paid for that time. Near the end of last month, the state raised university fees 20%. All of us were sent e-mails and texts saying we're "past due" for an extra $400. If we didn't get it to them by yesterday, we were "disenrolled." And amongst this all, we're still bringing in an Intro to Harry Potter course. New this year: Vampire Lit. They're going to read Twilight and discuss Buffy. No joke. What are your thoughts? |

Let's face it, most of us identify ourselves by what media we've been into--what we like, what we used to like, what we downright despise, and what we love eternally, showing a deeper level of emotion for it than we generate toward most of the human beings around us.
So what's tickling your fancy these days? What are you reading? What are you watching on TV? What are you downloading? What movies have you been watching on a loop? Picked up any new hobbies? What games have you been playing? What sites are you hitting up hourly? (Last edited by Rogue on 08-15-09 12:56 AM) |

So the latest from Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli has finally surfaced in U.S. theaters.
You know, after they had to go seeking celebrities for the dub voices. |

There was soooo much hype for it at Comic-Con. Probably because Peter Jackson was there and doing several Q&As.
Here in L.A., it was almost like the new Cloverfield. You saw posters and ads for it EVERYWHERE. You'd see the HUMANS ONLY posters in shop windows, mall kiosks, bus shelters, etc. Banners on the sides of Long Beach and L.A. buses insisted THIS BUS IS FOR HUMANS ONLY. It was subconsciously getting ingrained in our little metropolis, but no one knew what it was about until maybe a month ago. I may see it. |

All right, so I just got a new cat. It's a little, black female kitten that my friend found wandering the streets this morning. She's small and frail and very fragile when you hold her or pick her up.
She drank A LOT of water when we got her home, and she sat at my other cat's bowl for like 10 minutes just eating. We still haven't named her, but at the same time we aren't entirely sure this is a permanent thing. We'll have to see how well Miko takes to her. So far she's hissed at the newbie. Hasn't hit her or anything. And she seems much more afraid of the kitten than anything. It should hopefully work out. |

Oh I know. Mononoke herself was voiced by Claire Danes and the wolf mother by Gillian Anderson and Eboshi by Minnie Driver.
I don't really have a problem with celebs doing the English dubs, it's just there are so many excellent and legendary voice actors who don't get so much recognition these days and they're losing jobs because screen actors want to make the jump to voice acting as well. But at the same time getting celebrities opens people who normally wouldn't see an anime film into the theaters because they figure, "Well, Brad Pitt's voicing a 1000-year-old carp that grants wishes, how bad can it be?" or something of the like. Heh, all there was that Korean still-frame anime "Doggie Poo." Not Miyazaki's but still poignant. |

Imagine someone had the time and resources to construct and photograph MANY scenes from the Bible in Lego form.
Guh... thinking's just too much work. Just click the link below: Link! Amazing, huh? |

Oh man, so many typos in what I said. So many thoughts that started one way and were completed another without rereading it. Ugh...
I'd heard from everyone I know who's voiced that they've seen it that it was really, really cute. |

Welcome back, Mr. Nagis. And I was working my way toward passing you too.
Hehe. Good to see you again. |

We got old and our hearts turned hard and black. But then again, we could have been like that from the beginning. |

I've been picking up a lot of graphic novels again. I read through the first 3 volumes of Hellboy the other day.
|
Also read the second volume of 52. Yet another DC alternate universe. Not bad, but seriously, I'm so f-ing tired of the Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth 374 bull shit. At least with Marvel, most of everything happens in the same universe. I'm finally getting around to reading Tank Girl, while I've still got some time to myself.

Shame about Fennnicy, but life goes on? So making $80 an hour fixing pipes?

Which'll come first: Xeogaming's ultra-historic 10,000,000th view or the END OF THE FREAKING WORLD?

Discuss.

To be honest, people who believe Dec. 21, 2012 is the definite end of the world sort of worry me. |

Well, there's the kooks who are saying the Mayan calendar shows the end of the world.
|
Then there are those who claiming earth's magnetic poles will suddenly shift (which does just suddenly happen, but it wouldn't kill us or mean the end of the world). Then there are people claiming we're going to get hit with a comet. Several scientific groups have refuted this saying you'd be able to see most anything that would hit us any time in the next few centuries, and they and others aren't reporting finding anything. Then there the people who say a "Planet X" will come along and either collide with us or throw off our gravity causing massive floods, destruction, and death of millions. Once again, no scientists have seen such a planet. Then again, Sylvia Browne claims : "Aliens will begin to show themselves in the year 2010, they will not harm us, they simply want to see what we are doing to this planet. They will teach us how to use anti-gravity devices again, such as they did for the pyramids." Because we all know how correct that fraud can be. (restricted) | |
