| OK, so the Oscars were a while ago? Any thoughts on the winners?
I didn't watch the ceremony this year since I was out that whole night, but I heard it was extremely lackluster and incredibly hard to sit through. Anyway... Best Picture - The King's Speech Best Actor - Colin Firth Best Actress - Natalie Portman Not bad. Best Animated Feature - Toy Story 3 Well, duh. |

| Omg. Humon! I have a bunch of her stuff favorited on my Deviantart. It's been a while since I've looked at her recent work, it seems.
Lots of Hetalia-like strips these days, it seems. Not bad. Returning to the original topic, I hope Japan's taking this as lightly as Humon portrays them to. I mean, over 10,000 dead is not something to sneeze at. |

| Living near L.A. this video has been played in every news telecast I've watched since the weekend.
Pretty much this UCLA student, Alexandra Wallace, made a video blog post complaining about Asians on campus. Among her arguments are that when she's studying in the library (yeah, you try not to laugh at that one), Asian students are always talking on their cellphones and calling home to Japan regarding the tsunami is not a good excuse. This isn't the original video. I just don't feel like knocking up the view count on her YouTube account any higher. UCLA's chancellor has made a point in commenting back. This video has also spawned several parodies and comments. Among them: EDIT: Apparently she put this video up Friday night, hours after the tsunami earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. Here's one of many news stories on it. (Last edited by Rogue on 03-15-11 01:10 PM) |

| Honestly, I really don't know. I guess because so many people have been passing this video around and it's pissed off a lot of Asians.
I suppose people are just so shocked that a UCLA student could say such things. UCLA is held up on a pedestal around here. And I completely know what you're talking about regarding the internet making the news. Mind you, I come from L.A., where they dedicate 10 minutes of news time talking about the "Internet hate machine" ANONYMOUS. OMG, they're destroying people's MySpace profiles!!! The other thing that kills me about our local media is how they're trying to do more stand-ups with reporters referring to the iPads. Like they hold it up to show you pictures they looked up on it. SERIOUSLY. The one most guilty of this has been Fox, which was also the one that spent more time talking about 4chan. |

| Finally saw Green Hornet.
It wasn't bad. Pretty funny overall. I give them credit for having an Asian male seen as romantically desirable, though, even if it was only slightly. |

| So I spent last night at a meeting with the Media Action Network for Asian Americans and this came up on the agenda. There were some people there who were outright pissed off and upset about the video and were wanting MANAA to speak up about it.
The problem with racist comments directed toward Asians is that people expect that nothing would be done about it because Asians "tend" to be passive and not speak up, and thus people tend to think it's OK to say these rather hurtful things and publicize them. This video has become an issue now due to how overblown the media has made this. MANAA's pretty much going to issue a statement saying that while what she's been saying is wrong, no one (ESPECIALLY Asians and Asian American) should threaten or harm her. |

| Turning away for a second from Japan and its misfortunes, remember the troubles in North Africa?
Yeah, it's gotten to the point that France made the first move. FRANCE. That's really saying something. But, ladies and gentlemen, we are at war it seems. And Gadhafi's pledging it will be a long one. (Last edited by Rogue on 03-20-11 08:44 PM) |

| So what's your favorite anime opening/closing credits song? Any song, really, from a series or movie?
Although, I have several favorites ("Tank!" being a top one), "Reckless Fire" from "S-CRY-ed" has been my go-to for almost a decade now when it comes to getting me excited about a series: (Last edited by Rogue on 03-21-11 08:57 PM) |

| Oh my god, Xeo. You posting Maison Ikkoku totally reminded me of my favorite opening when I was 8:
P.S. Had to edit Kyoku's post since the new YouTube coding doesn't work on the board, in case anyone was wondering why it says I touched her post. |

| Indeed, rest in peace, Ms. Taylor. I loved every movie I ever saw you in.
You were gorgeous, and every woman has always envied your eyes. |

| When you take away the obvious weight gain, he's definitely looking better than recent years. Hell, he's looking far better now than he did in the '70s.
My favorite quote of his was something I recorded a year ago. "Hi, my name is William Shatner. Take off your clothes, let's get into bed. Simple as that. Yes it was." |

| So what movies, shows, bands, books, etc would you normally be ashamed to cop to that you've been sucked into lately?
In my case, it's Survivor. I watched the very first season more than a decade ago, and hadn't watched again since. Then I caught the second episode of this latest season and for some reason got into it. I don't watch it as though it's reality. I'm fairly certain the producers are guiding the contestants in whichever way they choose for ratings. It's just a drama full of intrigue and backstabbing.

| Listening to the available samples of the new Flogging Molly album. It not so fast-paced these days. It's sort of continuing the route of their last original album, Float.
I think it's great that they're evolving in other directions, but dammit the progression after Drunken Lullabies and Within a Mile of Home was epic. |

| Obama is making a speech right now saying that NATO's taking over will significantly reduce the financial effect on Americans.
YouTube live feed: http://www.youtube.com/citizentube?feature=ticker UPDATE: Obama's addressing international leaders' concern of "intervening" in Libya when other people could use or more (or that we should just mind our own business) saying that we should never brush aside taking responsibility as a leader because it would be a betrayal of who we are. According to him, the U.S.' main point in being there is to protect the Libyan people and enforce the no-fly zone. UPDATE: Obama's talking about how America doesn't need another Iraq, a country for which he says we are hopeful, since it's cost us years, lives, and $3 trillion.
