Time for Bogus Item of the Day!
Recently, a creature that’s being called the “Montauk Monster” washed up on the shores of Montauk, NY. I don’t think it’s photoshopped or anything, since there were witnesses and such, but I do think it was fabricated. It wouldn’t really be that hard to make something like that and pass it off as real. And someone took it before it could be investigated further, so… Anyway, people seem to be fascinated by this for reasons I cannot fathom. Well, I can, but it still doesn’t make sense.
On another note, why is there no black tea ice cream available in stores? There’s green tea ice cream, but green tea flavored things always taste odd to me, and they don’t taste that much like green tea either. Today, wiggy1770 made some black tea ice cream with cashews and butterscotch swirled in, and it was really good. So, why doesn’t anyone make any? Just something that’s always bothered me…
I picked up a copy of Yen+ at Borders today. As with all anthologies, there’s some good stuff and some not so good stuff. I haven’t read quite all of it yet, but Nabari no Ou, Bamboo Blade, and Higurashi seem to be among the better things in the magazine, in my opinion. Also, the artwork for Maximum Ride is pretty spiffy! I read the first book in the novel series, and didn’t like it that much (it wasn’t awful, just not that great, IMO), but the artwork actually makes up for that enough that I want to keep reading.
