Happy New Year From Yellow Menace!
For some reason, when you type in ‘happy new year’ in Google and hit the image search button, you get this picture of some ladies in thongs, showing off their backsides that appear to have red hand prints on them. I wasn’t curious enough to click on the picture and see what the hand prints [...]
Phew!!!
Okay – many, many apologies – I wasn’t planning on a mini-sabbatical, but my workload decreed otherwise. Now that the Xmas is nearly upon us my desk is cleared and I can finally get back to actual work…
Oh and many thanks (and profuse apologies) to AnaKhouri, who has been busting her behind while I’ve been [...]
An Apology…
So, I suck. I couldn’t meet my own deadline on the 13 Asian horror movies. In my defense, Halloween weekend was much busier than I expected, due to some unanticipated visitors. Also, ever since Gohan was born I have had an incredible craving for candy. I did OK by simply not buying any (if it’s [...]
A quick apology
Sorry for the lack of updates lately – for some odd reason, my workload has quadrupled since Gen Con, so I’ve not been able to post with any regularity. Things should let up soon; I’ve got a few anime reviews in the pipeline, and I see that AnaKhouri’s jumping on the Halloween thing, so I’ll [...]
Brief Intro to the Enigma that is Mazu
Wow. I never thought I’d be so intimidated by a blank page. I mean, I rant and rave at (great) length on my own blog, so I thought this would be a snap to do (except for keeping the posts concise). I’m Asian! Taiwanese, to be precise, so I should be able to channel the [...]
Please welcome our new Yellow Menace staffer – Mazu!
In addition to our latest addition to the Yellow Menace family (Hi Gohan!), I’d like you all to welcome our new co-blogger Minna Hong, aka Mazu. Minna came to us through Mazinga who suggested that I check out her blog, www.minnahong.com. Sensing a kindred spirit we plied her with promises of fame and great riches [...]
Gohan Has Arrived!
So, you all remember what I said about being gone for a few days? Yeah. Friday morning, I went to a routine midwife appointment, was sent to the hospital for tests, then was admitted to the hospital on Friday afternoon. Today, Tuesday, I finally left the hospital with a c-section incision and a baby son.
Yeah, [...]
AFK, Having a Baby, BRB
So, if you’ve been paying attention (and I don’t know why you would be…actually, if you were, that’s kind of creepy and stalker-ish), I am one week out from my due date (and Gohan seems to be making his way toward the exit…very, very slowly). So if I disappear for several days, more than likely [...]
New comment system installed – things might look a wee bit funky for a bit…
I just installed the IntenseDebate comment system on the site, and am still in the process of tweaking all the features. Some things might look sketchy in the short term (like the comment notifier at the top-right of each post)… so please bear with us as I work out the kinks in the system.
IntenseDebate offers [...]
Just When You Thought It Was Over…
I guess the theatrical releases of the first two live-action Death Note films were profitable enough that Viz has decided to release the third one.
Wait…there’s a third one? But didn’t both main characters die in the second one?
Please, a little thing like death won’t stop such a popular and lucrative franchise!
L: Change the World takes [...]
We now have Forums…
If you look up top, you’ll see that I finally got around to installing a new Forum system. Several readers have bugged me about setting up discussion forums, so I finally got off my lazy arse and did it. There are a few nagging tidbits I intend to clean up – right now, the system [...]
Back in Black
I flew back in from L.A. last night and am now enjoying gray skies and cold temperatures after laboring for a week under warm, sunny days. Double-blah. To add to the misery, my partially sentient stepmother (hereafter to be referred to as The Stepmonster) managed to lose my luggage at the LAX security checkpoint and [...]
DVD Review- Noriko’s Dinner Table
Rating:
Any j-movie fan who watched Noriko’s Dinner Table will notice numerous references to another iconic Japanese film, Suicide Club. Noriko’s Dinner Table makes note of the mass suicide of fifty-four high school girls who throw themselves in front of a subway train that is depicted in Suicide Club, and its main character is [...]
Musashi is on vacation – again…
Okay, as mentioned I’ll be out of town for a week visiting my family in L.A. starting tomorrow. I should have lots of stuff to report when I get back, as there’s a badass Japanese fish market not far from my grandmother’s place and I’ll probably swing by Chinatown as well. At any rate, I [...]
Status Update – GitS: Stand Alone Complex Episode Guide
Just a quick note to acknowledge that – yes – I am a few days behind on posting the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode Guide. Like many of you, the holidays are wreaking havoc on my schedule so while I’m trying to get everything online as quick as I can, there will [...]
