That might've been the worst New Year's Eve yet. Even with the packrat clutter largely cleared up in the kitchen, it still looked dreary; the tree was beaten around and warped, and all decorations amounted to two sets of Christmas lights draped on it in a slovenly way. Oh well. This wasn't the most of it, however. By far the biggest kick to the ( Read more... )

At last, at long fucking last, after what seems like a year, my blog is finally back up to speed. Let's see how long this utopia lasts, haha.

I've prepared a gift for 4chan's /k/ board, which I frequent. Take a look. Can't help but wonder how they'll react... In all truth, they might not care altogether. But I'm also expecting several available ( Read more... )

Time for one more worthless post in 2009. Ha! Just kidding. There'll be another one promptly.

In case you've ever wondered, this decade is called the "aughties". Well, not this decade specifically. Like, you have teens, twenties, thirties - but what do you call the first decade? Aughties. Some people say "aughts", that's fine too ( Read more... )

Argh, this isn't even going to be a proper art post, what with how I'm in a hurry to deliver on self-imposed schedules. Go see his work on DA. Alternatively, also see his blog. He's got this irregular comic of sorts, it's quite creative, or at least amusing. The main character is like a mix of Haruhara Haruko and a Hellsing character. In fact, I ( Read more... )

Downright bananas. Saw this story on Reddit; it links to this video about some miserable jit in Corpus Christi, TX who got busted for causing approximately $7500 in graffiti damages, and also possessing marijuana (no surprises there). The sentence? Eight motherfucking years with no chance of parole. Commuted to two years, but just about everybody ( Read more... )

Watched episode 13 of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun today. It's an omake fanservice episode, part of a rather stupid recent trend, it seems (like the final episode of Kampfer - bleh). Anyway, in this episode, the characters were in a Star Trek-type holodeck, and it was supposed to be the excuse to have them in swimsuits. This holodeck apparently created ( Read more... )

By chance, happened upon something very vague from my childhood. Didn't look for it, rather just encountered it and the familiarity sank in. Computer Chronicles was a TV infomentary series about, well, computers. It finally died in 2002, and even that was pushing it, since its soul was already gone after the Tech Bubble (not to worry, since it ( Read more... )

We've all heard of cyberpunk, but what the hell is cyberpop?

Well, it's quite simple, actually. Have you ever encountered those entertainment media where the supposed mid-21st century is clean and "fun"? Where the world looks like planet Jurai (as seen in the final episodes of Mnemosyne) or Birdy's homeworld? Where the world is some kind of ( Read more... )

I don't celebrate Christmas. Never did, actually. Have always been celebrating New Year's Eve instead. It's a Soviet carryover, fondly ingrained into my childhood... To foster equality or something like that, the Soviet government didn't recognize any religious holidays, instead consolidating the 'winter group' into New Year's Eve and celebrating ( Read more... )

I absolutely, positively would like to catch up with all my late posts before 2010 rolls in. This means that rather than working on putting ten more kanji together, I'll instead put in some more work on a couple other posts. Lazy ( Read more... )
