Seriously. It was an insane week. – Much work. – Much other work courtesy of a wonderful package that landed this week. It’s awesome.

Someone was very happy to have me home today. >^..^<

Goodness. When I woke up the first time this morning, I wasn’t in a great mood. That mood didn’t get any better — quite the opposite — when I woke up the second time and realized the private post office, where I have my online purchases shipped, closed early today because of Memorial Day. Big [...]

Not so fun. :-( Admittedly, I did conk out fairly early on the couch, but YUCK. I think my tendency to do this is why I keep my cable TV. It’s nice to have SOAPnet, which guarantees that I wake up to reruns of today’s soap operas or Dallas rather than an infomercial or the [...]

Earlier today, Japan named Hello Kitty a goodwill tourism ambassador to China and Hong Kong. That’s pretty cool. >^..^

Tonight, I present a bunch of bullet points because there are too many thoughts bopping around in my brain at the moment. Darn it. I’m hooked on Code Geass. I also still don’t have a DVR (or a working VCR), which means I’m staying up to watch it live because the video quality on the [...]

I haven’t heard her whole album, but her so-called “music video” on Yahoo! is irritating because she can’t carry a tune and because there are so many awesome musicians that actually deserve all the publicity she’s getting. DOUBLE BLAH!) M83 | Graveyard Girl [...]

Er. Not really. Maybe I just feel like creating a little mayhem. ;-) I think I’m still flabbergasted at how many people just didn’t get Speed Racer. Speaking of retro-ish, anime-type stuff… If you have a Google “homepage,” i.e., iGoogle page, there’s something you need to check out. Google is running a little promotion where [...]

O.K. Here’s the deal: I just got back from seeing Speed Racer. I don’t know what movie the critics and those panning the film saw, but it sure wasn’t the movie I saw. I was expecting an “anime come to life,” and that’s just what I got. – The visuals are amazing, and the racing [...]
