Haruhi Suzumiya and her Oblivious Brigandiers
I haven't posted in ages, but I'm excited about the new season of Haruhi Suzumiya. What the animators are doing is incredible, and of course the fandom has been completely flummoxed by it. Michael at Low on Hit Points had already written about the new episodes:

nice day, sucky night
Today I went out for dinner with Kelly and her mom Sherry, who is visiting from Idaho. We had some great conversation while appreciating some great food at Hogan's Hideaway.

A story of a December morning web stroll
When I finally woke up this morning, with a mild throat infection, I found a page for features Now Playing at Rochester's Little theater. Since I'd already read all the synopsizes last night, I read this history of that local attraction, but has some details I wasn't aware of, such as that the name derived from a "little cinema movement" to favor ( Read more... )
