I Don't Like What I Don't Like

I just saw a fan sub of episode 1 of Saiyuki Gaiden and I am couldn't be more thrilled.  Up to this point I really haven't been too big of a Konzen fan.  He always seemed a little bleh compared to Sanzo.  But that was all before he said: Go Konzen!  Stick it to the man! I really wish that this along with Burial was sold in the US.  I don't mind subtitles, but I like the shiny, clean quality of the actual DVD, versus watching it on Youtube or downloading it from some questionable site.  Or maybe I just need to learn Japanese. That aside, if you want to watch it, you can go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpm9n8uwdCw&feature=feedu Just found out that was taken down from You Tube as a copyright violation.  I hope I actually get to see the rest of it at some point and it isn't one of those only released in Japan things.

At Least Komui Isn't Your Boss

Yes, everyone gets frustrated at work sometimes, but think of this: at least your boss isn't Komui Lee. He piles on the work, is disorganized, emotionally reactive, he likes his robots more than his employees (watch episode 8 of season 1 where Sir Komlin almost kills everyone), he has a weird thing for pink bunnies and huge sister complex, and he tends to be just a little sadistic.  I honestly can't think of the last time my boss came at me with a giant drill. He's also my favorite D. Grayman character, so don't think I'm being a hater. Buy D. Grayman

Because It's Awesome

My friends created some wonderful art for my bachelorette party:     The writing said "You can leave your hat on."  I know it's weird, but my favorite Bleach charater is Hat and Clogs.  I love the cleverly placed fan.    It looks much better when you can see the whole picture, but I couldn't fit the whole thing on my scanner. Watch out, Mustang is snapping!  Well, something is on fire anyway. Literacy is hot.  Ever wonder if Kakashi wears that mask to bed?  Now we know the truth. It's Sanzo!  Yay!  There's nothing like a gun-toting, chain-smoking priest. It's Wolfwood!  Yay!  There's nothing like a gun-toting, chain-smoking priest.  Hey, I think I see a trend here. 

It's the End of the Season, and Someone Just Ate My Soul!

I just started watching Black Butler for the first time on Netflix.  I kept thinking that Sebastian wasn't really going to eat Ciel's soul, because this was only Season 1 . . . but he did.  And yes, there really is a Season 2.  So here's a very important lesson:  If someone eats your soul, don't worry, you still might be back for Season 2.  Buy Black Butler

The Princess and the Golden Swing

I had a weird fever dream this morning about a princess, well lots of princesses really. All of them were in competition to win the hearts of princes through this medieval gameshow that included princess-style sports, a talent competition, and a beauty/popularity contest.  I wasn't me, I was an angsty princess with black hair and green eyes.The only thing that was familiar was the length of the hair.  I didn't want to marry a prince or be in the game show, but I had to be.  I had already lost two rounds because I put forward no effort whatsoever.   The next competition involved swinging on a golden swing while music played.  In order to make it interesting, the princess would swing out a four-story window over the heads of the crowd.  I was having trouble getting ready and children from the crowd were chasing me and pulling my hair.  Finally I got away from them and decided to just pull my hair back and forget about it.  I got on the swi...

Judgmental Dogs

"I realized that driving stick wasn't for me when I was driving in a cul-de-sac with no other traffic around me," Agnes says, "and I was saying, 'Look at that dog!  That dog is thinking, "That girl can't drive a stick-shift!"'" "You make a good point," says Evira, "People who are a little crazy shouldn't drive stick-shifts," she pauses, "Not to mention, dogs are so judgmental!  I always hated that about dogs."
