Whew. Another long shift, another episode review. A warning that this is a little over two pages long, one full page of which is lodging complaints against Mikitang. He got a lot more screentime, which is a lot more time to suck ass. Since they're manga scenes, it's a little more painful when he dogs them.

( Oh, Miki, you blow. Nope. Nothing to say about fine or my mind. You just blow. )

Since I'm bored at work, I thought I'd write out my thoughts on chapter 94. I'm saddenned that in this chapter so full of Hughesy goodness that he's taken such a sharp dive in the popularity polls. Well, at least Old School Greed is getting up there... I always wonder why Envy's so high on the list. But then, I also wonder the same about Hawkeye, ( Read more... )

Not that anyone cares, but in case anyone visits this; please feel free to jump in with agreements or disagreements. I like discussions on these topics and will try to pull in thoughts from other sources such as 2ch and the like so we can compare and contrast ideas and perceptions. People should feel free to link me to threads of interest, too ( Read more... )

Now that everybody I had possibly intended to use off of the internet has been through the initial recording stage, I can slap the initial phase results up so far. While in Japan, students and teachers discussed what the commonalities were between all transfer students to Japan who intended to study Japanese as a second language. I have a grand ( Read more... )

I was meme tagged; under an RP journal name, but, this place seemed better for it.

( He she be? )

In case any one was wondering what the hell I do between classes where all I seem to do is some Japanese theatrics and/or try to tie a damn obi. Inputs, insights, interests welcome. Just the preface, since the entire thing is even longer and more boring.

There’s a song in the modern American musical Avenue Q entitled Everyone’s a Little Bit ( Read more... )

Teaching the Japanese to appreciate their own bouty of vocal treasures through shameless seiyuu song pimping, my music player came upon the seiyuu ten song karaoke tracks; it was decided that, while my voice (unfortunately) sounds nothing like him, I am Nomura Kenji by value of the feel he gives off in his singing and song choice. While this is, at ( Read more... )

My cooking is a bit legendary. I have injured myself and caused a microwave to explode by making chocolate milk syrup. I have considered attempting to make pancakes with a plate on a stove, lacking a steel or metal grilling pan substance, until told that such will expand the natural faults of the ceramic and make it explode at me. I have made ( Read more... )

I know. I win.  

In speaking with students, we've had a bit of fun with language. Language is, in general, a very fun thing; it infuriates me, certainly, in the case of carelessness and misuse. Dubs, for example, short of parodies. Don't be so frivilious with language unless your frivilouty between mediums is the purpose; a bad translation, even of comedy, is a ( Read more... )
