So I haven't watched an episode of the Simpsons in a very long time. A new episode, I mean. I've seen one or two episodes when I come to visit my father, because my half-brother DVRs new episodes. Right now, he's the same age that I was when I watched the show religiously, which is also when I felt that it was in its stride (from seasons two to ( Read more... )

Just walked in the door from NYCC about an hour ago. Wasn't able to come up last year, but this year, Steven and Caroline were able to make the trek up from Virginia. We spent the nights at my dad's house in Baldwin (Long Island). He's literally a ten minute walk from the Long Island Rail Road, so we took trains into the con every day. Also got to ( Read more... )

Just wanted to drop in to post some random photos. The first few are from Anime Fest Orlando at the beginning of the month.

So, I haven't been on here in month. I could do a recap of said month, but I'll do it later, because right now, I think there's only one thing to talk about: Chris Nolan's final Batman movie. So, here... we... go...

I wanted to end my last entry with this, but pics wouldn't upload. Anyway, Steph and I have recently been re-decorating the apartment. Well, Steph has been, anyway, largely because I've been too busy with other things to bother. Also, she has an obsession with Ikea furniture, and has been very gradually buying shelves for all our books and discs. ( Read more... )

So, last night, Steph and I decided at the last minute to join Adam and Kiri for a date night at a nearby chocolatier in Winter Park. They apparently have this couples/singles/family night thing where you can make your own chocolate. Actually, they make the actual chocolate, and bring a melted funnel of it to your table. But you get to pour it into ( Read more... )

Earlier this week, the state had the first real storm I've seen since moving down here. It was the outer edge of a tropical storm that sat in the Gulf of Mexico, and the brushed over the northern part of the state, but still, we were getting copious amounts of rain from Sunday to Wednesday. The sun finally came out yesterday afternoon. We still ( Read more... )

So, I managed to go for a whole month without posting again. And after I thought I was doing better, too ( Read more... )

For some reason, I've been in a nostalgic mood lately. I've been re-watching a lot of old movies I haven't seen in years. Well actually, I do remember one of my New Years resolutions has been to re-watch some old animated movies from my childhood. Last night, I re-watched "The Secret of NIMH," a movie that I've been deliberately avoiding since I ( Read more... )
