Watched the first episode of Blood-C on nikoniko. MISTAKE. Not the show, which visually looked great but starts off slow. I couldn't take the near constant, ridiculous comments rolling across the screen. This is part of the reason there will always be fansubs despite all the springs forward the industry has made with legal anime screening. Someone ( Read more... )

Tokyopop to close North American publishing division on May 31So many mixed emotions right now. On one hand, Tokyopop has certainly given us many screw-ups and frustrations over the years. But it was also a real manga gateway drug for many people, me included. By my count, the household has four Tokyopop titles that we still follow: Aria, Deadman ( Read more... )

Sims 3 has finally betrayed me. I'm not too shocked as I knew that it would one day screw me. It is, after all, a bug-a-licious EA game. But I've been playing it pretty hardcore for the last week and was, therefore, angered by the disappearing, uncontrollable pixel people ( Read more... )

I believe what will finally separate me from the Sims (and the [pixel] Barbie houses I never had as a kid) will be the ever-increasing crashes to desktop. For fuck's sake...HATE!

The Ghost Hunt manga will end in Japan this month. It's perhaps alittle sad but they were running out of light novels to adapt stories from. And, as a NA manga buying fan, it looked as if Del Rey - even with their suddenly erratic behavior - might have been able to finish out the series. Volume 11 comes out in November and the last volume could ( Read more... )

My DVR randomly reset. That's right: it deleted everything I had recorded and all of the scheduled recording info. It's not the end of the world and, in the scheme of things, this is a really petty problem. But I am so fucking angry. I can reschedule a good deal of it. But other things are gone and won't be coming around again for, this is not ( Read more... )

Some days ago, TCM had Norma Shearer day as part of their "Summer under the Stars" programming. "Great," I thought, "I'll be able to record Marie Antoinette on the DVR and not have to deal with the VCR/human malfunction that screwed me out of seeing it last time". I THOUGHT WRONG. I made it past the first intermission and to the affair of the ( Read more... )

I've been looking like a bum at work for the a few months while. I needed new clothes and, with the coming of pay-day, I and the bf went out to shop. I came back with the requisite shirts, pants, a new credit card (don't ask), and, god help me, nail polish. But...it's Claire's Mood color changing nail polish! What do you mean that means nothing ( Read more... )

I cannot unsee this.

What would Lisa say (WWLS)? And why not, as one commenter wrote, use Milhouse instead? My eyes would still be bleeding but not nearly as profusely.

Maine :( I'm so disappointed that I am on the verge of tears.

And anyone who believes that marriage rights are moot if you have the right papers needs to read up on the case of Janice Langbehn and Lisa Pond. Papers don't mean a thing if no one is willing to recognize them ( Read more... )
