Bloody Santa Display

2005-12-15T15:29:00.000-07:00

"Bloody Santa Display With Severed Doll Heads Angers Neighborhood"Some family decorated their house according to their 16-year old daughter's idea. For some reason, this disturbs me more than Elfenlied ever did. But what kind of parents would humor their 16-year old daughter with such morbid ideas?

Breast Implants that play music!

2005-10-14T18:22:00.000-06:00

Some guy figures that breast implants should do something useful instead of just being decorative, so he suggested putting an mp3 player in breast implants. To quote the article (found here),Quite how playback is achieved we're not quite sure, but it may well involve the listener burying his or her head in the cleavage for a full stereo effect.

Battle Royale

2005-06-13T12:54:00.000-06:00

Battle Royale was reviewed in the May 2005 issue of Playboy! While this exposure is nice, it might have consequences. Such as making more people think that anime and manga is just sex and violence.

Here's proof

Gunslinger Girl

2005-06-06T03:21:00.000-06:00

My favorite anime at present, Gunslinger Girl is being released by FUNimation, the same people who brought you Dragonball, Kiddy Grade, and Fruits Basket state-side. Though, I don't care for the English dubs (like any other anime), it has some very strong points.The original story by Yu Aida is about six girls who work for the Italian government. Previously tramatized, abused, raped, or near

I wonder if this is one of those weird laws...

2005-06-06T02:28:00.000-06:00

Quoting from ATI's System Giveaway contest:All Canadian winners must correctly answer a skill testing mathematical problem, if selected as a winner, in order to receive a prize.Er, wtf? Is there some law that Canadians cannot win contests without doing work? What's the reason behind that line?

Er... yea...

Saaya Irie

2005-06-05T08:54:00.000-06:00

I don't even know what to think of this. Saaya Irie, an eleven year old Japanese girl, becoming famous for her swimsuit photos, said to be aiding anti-Japanese tension in China. The article is here.I'm not very surprised at a young girl in revealing photos coming from Japan, since they do have a lot of publications with young girls, such as 13-year old models appearing in magazines, as well as

Manga in American schools

2005-03-15T00:41:00.000-07:00

There's an article in a Maine newspaper about parents being opposed to manga in the school libraries. The article can be seen hereAnd of course, I had to comment on it, and sent in this to be show with the article on the page: There are a broad range of manga and anime out there, aimed at many interests, as Japan creates countless titles every year. However, simply basing something on the

Lack of Bloggage

2005-01-10T10:51:00.000-07:00

Sorry for such a long delay between posts. Been convinced to buy Warcraft 3, and playing a bit of MMORPGs again, and building a FreeBSD comp. But now classes resumed. =3 Note: Hero Siege is such an addicting map.

Found a lot of interesting pics...

2005-01-10T10:40:00.000-07:00

Ever heard of 2ch, the enormous Japanese board? Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. But there's an English version called 4chan that is basically an imitation of a small chunk of 2ch, which has pictures people found on the web or whatnot. Most of them are probably not suitable for public display, but there's a nice one:

Chocobo!

2004-12-22T02:18:00.000-07:00

Was playing some Final Fantasy VII, since I never did beat those Weapons in the past. Found a guide online for breeding chocobos, and I got a gold chocobo at 176kph ^_^ My final one was supposed to be named Rin, but I didn't expect it to jump from 146 top speed to 176 top speed in one generation, which was why it's called Tin... Spent like 5mil gil to get the stupid thing. At least it won

Another site hits the floor

2004-12-19T19:00:00.000-07:00

Found out while trying to sleep, that the major torrent listing site, Suprnova.org, has come to an end. Suprnova, which linked to torrent trackers containing anything from Norton Antivirus to PS2 game .iso to Pokemon, was experiencing lots of downtime, etc, and the creators of the site are unsure whether they'll reopen the site in the future. Read more about it on their website, even though

Blog gallery

2004-12-19T08:25:00.000-07:00

Spend a good while making a site for the gallery of the images found on this blog. Since Blogger doesn't host images, I had to make a separate site. Tried to match the color scheme too. I'm rusty with html now, so it took me several hours *sigh* Anyway, check out the gallery for Lumiere's Puppet here. Should work in Internet Explorer. Works best in Opera 7.5. As for Netscape/Firefox/etc, I

I made a cute avatar of Kururu from Bottle Fairies, but the file size is too big for the forum I made it for. So I'll blog it instead. 可愛いですね~？

Been wanting to post this about Earthsea

2004-12-18T23:07:00.000-07:00

Due to my buying the new extended version of the Return of the King yesterday, I got into a conversation about movie adaptations of books. I also found Earthsea online, which I missed on TV because I forgot, so I downloaded it. Both of which led to the discussion about the Earthsea mini-series on the Sci-Fi channel. Someone on irc went to Ursula Le Guin's website, and found a link to her new
