My friend showed me a Youtube video where a guy took a music video and changed the lyrics of the song to tell you what was happening in the video. That doesn’t sound very funny, but it is and I have wasted way too much time watching and laughing my ass off at these videos. So I am sharing the [...]

Back in 2006, Shapiro Keats and I took our honeymoon with Pop Japan Travel. We went on the February Sapporo Snow Festival tour, and it was amazing. We had great hotels with space-age toilets, a sweet-ass flight on Singapore Airlines (all the flight attendants were way hot, and we had a ton of movies to choose from- I watched Wallace [...]

OK, listen up, Hollywood starlets and people with more money than sense: dogs are not made to wear clothes. They are not made to be rainbow colors. They do not like riding in strollers or in your luggage-sized purse. Dogs are made to roll in dirt and eat their own vomit and slobber all over your ankles. You people in [...]

Sumo wrestling has been in some deep shit lately because the wrestlers have been caught gambling on other sports games, a big no-no in Japan. Apparently the sumo commission has done a lousy job investigating too. All of this is being blamed on bad communication;: it seems sumo wrestlers can’t text each other…because their fingers are too fat for cell [...]

I thought traffic was bad in the place where I used to live- a small city that had outgrown its britches, and had not been designed to handle urban sprawl- resulting in tedious traffic jams (it didn’t help that the majority of the inhabitants there are retarded monkeys who would never use their damn blinkers, let you over, or NOT [...]

Sorry to be scarce- I’m actually working on a couple reviews for once (Red Cliff FTW). Anyway, Threadless is having one of their awesome $10 t-shirt sales, with the usual glut of gaming-related tees: Cheat Codes Mario Mario in French Extra Lives And a couple Japanese-type ones: Tokyo Skyline Loooove This One But They\’re Sold Out in Adult Sizes!

Yesterday, our friends at Daily Bento (www.dailybento.com) featured this delicious Gundam fan film from back in the day. It recreates an epic mobile suit battle from the show- with people. But they’re not dressed in Gundam costumes, oh no. They’re just wearing clothes  and wielding cardboard weapons. Which somehow makes it more awesome than if they’d actually constructed costumes. Rad.

There’s a new Youtube series about a college anime club, thoughtfully called Otaku. It’s kind of amusing, especially if you belonged to an anime club in college. Otaku Trailer Episode 1 The railing in their dorm looks just like the railing in my old dorm, but my dorm was 100 years old (seriously) and much, much shabbier. I didn’t belong [...]

God damn, Hello Kitty is everywhere. Candy, clothes, keychains, stationary, toasters, vibrators. And now the little bitch is invading that most manly of places: the garage. ANN Article Will Hello Kitty motor oil really appeal to women? Are we actually going to check the oil level in our cars more often, just hoping we’ll be a quart low so we [...]

Ginseng root kind of looks like a really creepy, mutated Lovecraftian monster-person. Yet the Czechs are apparently willing to accept 20 tons of the stuff as payment for debt incurred by…AnaKhouri’s favorite fucked-up country, North Korea! BBC Article They’ve owed this debt since ‘the Soviet era’- so, twenty years, give or take a couple. I think the Czech Republic should [...]

North Korea’s soccer team might suck (according to their atrocious performance at the World Cup- but hey, anyone can have an off…two weeks), but is that any reason to sit them down and have the entire government yell at them for six hours? And then make the coach perform manual labor? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-10935521 (all of this is alleged, which goes without [...]

China’s culture minister is pissed that his country’s media has become sensationalist and vulgar. Cai Wu said many Chinese publications were full of gossip and sensational stories advocating money-worship. He accused regional governments of spending money on “vanity projects” instead of basic cultural facilities. So, basically China is turning into the U.S….? BBC Article

So, I hate to admit it but I’m two-timing Musashi and Mazinga (three-timing?). I have another blog, one about the adventures of my year-old son, Gohan. It’s on Blogspot. Sometimes when I am finished posting there, I hit the ‘Next Blog –>’ icon out of curiosity. This is what it pulled up today: Asian Hottest Babes There are many pictures [...]

I’m not posting this because I am a Supernatural fangirl. I’ve never even seen the show. But about 4 people have told me I need to watch it because I would love it, and they didn’t know each other so I don’t think it is a conspiracy. Supernatural Anime It’s done by my beloved Madhouse, so it should be worth [...]

This is nice: in Tennesee, a group is holding a one-day anime con (creatively called “Daycon”), with all proceeds going to a local cat-specific animal shelter. Daycon This is good since I figure cat shelters probably need lots of help. I mean, why adopt a cat when you can just look under your back porch or under the hood of [...]
