Quick first post of the day, with a message to my buddy : Happy Birthday! It’s my last day of working the day shift this weekend, which actually seems like the better deal when I think about it. Granted, I was a little shocked by the news of having to work early Friday morning, but …

Today’s Anime Selection: Video Girl Ai
I finished Initial D: Second Stage, and all I can say about it is that I started playing that Tokyo Street Racing game on the PS2 again. Initial D is an amazing anime series, and I did enjoy it enough to start being a little more observant about cars and street racing. Not that I …

Shin-Kimagure Orange Road: Soshite, Ano Natsu no Hajimari
ADV translated the title of this film to “New Kimagure Orange Road: Summer’s Beginning.” That’s close enough, I guess. It’s an amazing film that I got reacquainted with at Anime Expo, and ended up buying for my collection. Yes, I cried during that one scene where Kyousuke from 1991 rescues Kyousuke from 1994 while Madoka …

The Carnage of Anime Expo 2002 and eBay buying PayPal
I’ll express my concern over the latter, first. Holy fucking shit! I go away for a week on vacation and I come back to read that the company that my ex-wife works for is buying my company. Never mind we happen to work in the same damn department or anything. I’m actually trying to figure …

J-Pop After Midnight: Best Idea I ever Had
Recently, I decided to alter the programming on Radio Free WNOHGB. This came after there was some email furor over the whole decision to start varying the five o’clock hour. It used to be the James Darren hour, then I tried to fit an hour of Robin Williams Live at the Met. But it was …

Countdown to Anime Expo 2002: T-Minus 10 Days
At my birthday dinner, I was able to talk to three of the four people going with me. This is Dave, Mark, and Jody. Todd was working that night, so I had to speak to him at a later date and time. But in preparation of getting there, we have to coordinate our efforts. For …

The Quest for my Field of Dreams
I bought a Sony PlayStation way back in mid-1995, with a couple of games. Prior to that I owned the Sega Master System (SMS), the original 8-bit Nintendo, then an SNES. When I bought the PSX, it was like stepping into a whole other world for me as far as console gaming was concerned. As …

New Year’s Resolutions
Unlike others, I tend to think of my birthday as the most appropriate time to set my resolutions for the coming year. I mean, this is the beginning of a true new year for me. New Year’s is a little too cut and dry, and to be honest, I’m just not as introspective on New …

Urge to Kill Fading… RISING! … Fading… Fading… Gone…
I just got back from Karen’s house, where we had a nice long talk about current events, things that just piss me off, and watched the first four episodes of Beautiful Life. She’s now declared the cds that I have hers for the week (now that she’s hooked) and she’s going to copy them for …
