Ten years ago, I went to the cinema to see Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for the first time. In an hour, I'm going to a midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. During the intervening years, there's been three more Harry Potter books and six more movies and I've been in line for them all. When the first Harry ( Read more... )

The rules: For the purposes of this list, anime is defined as animation originating from Japan. Any animated show not originating from Japan (e.g. cartoons) goes on the TV list. Only episodes that are part of a series count. Movies go on the movie list.Individual episodes are listed by show, episode number, and title (if known). If I ( Read more... )

Comment with a pairing and I'll tell you:

1. When I started shipping them

If it's not one thing in this place, it's something else. First there was the debacle with the air conditioner, which went on more than two years and ended with us finally having the entire system replaced. Then there was the ant problem in March, where they invaded both my bedroom and the adjoining bathroom. Now it's water seeping through the ( Read more... )
