Halloween is over and, like a small-time addict, I'm already skirting my "No Christmas until after Thanksgiving" rule by sneaking peeks at Hallmark's ornament display and listening to my beloved Year with Frog and Toad soundtrack. (There's a very sweet Christmas carol at the end, which is okay to listen to early if it's part of a play ( Read more... )

Dammit, internet, is there nowhere I can go without being spoiled for One Piece? "Oh, but the chapter came out four days ago" is a pathetic, self-absorbed excuse, and I'm really getting tired of it. Even the Naruto fandom is able to keep most of its spoilers underwraps. Naruto. You can't be as good as the Naruto fandom, One Piece?

I am irritated.

So now that I've finished Dragon Age, I'm getting caught up again with One Piece. And right away, it's like "Oh yeah. That's why I stopped right at this episode."

You know I love One Piece, but episode 445 may just contain the worst example of a designated girl fight that I've ever seen. Indeed, someone's even made it the main image for the page. ::sigh::

I am reading this article about scurvy, and it is fascinating beyond all reasonable measure. You know how in the 1700s England figured out, hey, eating citrus cures scurvy, so maybe we should eat that on sea voyages? Turns out that, through a series of amazing coincidences that seems ridiculous and yet make perfect sense, by the early 1900s the ( Read more... )

One Piece currently has me alternately wincing due to its dark nature or making the biggest O_O face you've ever seen. (Seriously, the current arc is so weird. And dark. And craaaazy. All at once. Also, gay, in the literal sense but not in the BL sense, which is not nearly as much fun.) But Naruto right now? I can only sum up my current thoughts as ( Read more... )

Funny fact: famixes for Sasuke/Itachi and Scotland/England have a lot of crossover when it comes to song choices. Who'd have guessed? Though I suppose if you really think about it, there are some similarities... (Although it's not Scotland I find myself worrying about as ( Spoiler )

::sigh:: Possibly in a fit of remembrance of how much I enjoyed watching Kris Allen defy the judges' expectations week after week last year, I went ahead and downloaded the two Hollywood episodes of last week's American Idol. And wouldn't you know it, I still can't stand Kara. Like, I get a visceral reaction just from seeing her on the panel, and ( Read more... )

Thank goodness I no longer have to make car payments (though I really should take it in for an oil change and a general check up... ::makes note::), because I have been buying far too many toys lately. Terribly cute toys, but utterly unnecessary nonetheless.
