I have nothing to say. I guess it turned out pretty predictably. At least Sixwire didn’t win… Still, a lot of bands, like Dot Dot Dot and Franklin Bridge, got eliminated way too early. If this comes back for a second season and I decide to watch it, i probably won’t blog about it.

L Fragrance
Posted in Anime, Manga, tagged Death Note, fragrance, Gwen Stefani, L, L.A.M.B. on December 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I recently saw a particularly weird/hilarious commercial on the tube. Apparently, L is now a fragrance. Seriously. Gwen Stefani’s new fragrance is not only called L, but also boasts the same font as our favorite detective’s logo. The Gothic-esque font does not fit the fragrance, though, as it’s supposed to be pretty floral. There’s no [...]
Rant on Flipping

I was flipping through an issue of Wired recently when I saw a letter in response to their article on manga in November’s issue. I can’t find the issue now, but the person was basically talking about how much he hates unflipped manga, and how some people just can’t adjust. This is just silly. The [...]
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 1: The Lighning Thief
Posted in Books, tagged Percy Jackson, Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief on December 22, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Okay, so I heard about this book through a book recommendation. The recommender told me that she “hadn’t had high hopes for it, but found that it was quite funny.” Going into it, I hadn’t had high hopes either, despite the large amount of people on amazon.com who say it’s the bee’s [...]
Death Note Dub Episode 8 and 9

Yet another double-post. Also, I started reading the Death Note manga. So far, I’ve read the first four volumes.
Anyhoo, onto episode 8:
In this episode, L and co. set up cameras in two police officers houses to see if anyone in their families could be a suspect. One of the suspects is Light, of course. Light [...]

My birthday was on Tuesday. I didn’t go out for dinner or anything. I just stayed home. I had double-baked potatoes and one of them exploded in the over, creating a huge mess. The moral is to always poke holes in a potato before baking it.
I know I’ve said so before, but I’m super busy, [...]

Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE volume 1
After having read all the Tsubasa manga released thus far, I finally got around to buying the DVD. I’d already watched the first 30 or so episodes in Japanese, and I hadn’t been too impressed. It’s a solid show, just not as good as the manga. Anyway, I watched it in [...]
Death Note Dub Episode 6 and 7
Posted in Anime, TV, tagged Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Death Note, Shonen Jump Advanced on December 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
These episodes were both about the same thing, so I grouped them together.
Light meets a woman who thinks that Kira can kill people using methods other than heart attacks. She also happens to be Raye Penber’s girlfriend. Obviously, this worries Light. When he tells her his father is a policeman and that she [...]
Fire Emblem Review Sporking
Posted in Games, tagged Fire Emblem, Gamespot, Intelligent Systems, Nintendo, Sporking, Wii on December 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I just read Gamespot’s review of fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and I was infuriated. The review is whiny and often makes no sense. Even if game reviews are subjective, there is a certain point at which things are either true or untrue. Unfortunately, I don’t believe I’ve read any reviews by [...]
