Well, my friends, it has finally happened:

1. Kevin Bacon was in Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks.
   
2. Tom Hanks is the father of Colin Hanks.
   
3. Colin Hanks is in The Good Guys with Bradley Whitford.

I've been doing little bits of overtime all week, half an hour here, fifteen minutes there. Today it was 45 minutes.

Then I got home and saw it was 6:00 instead of the anticipated 7:00.

Feeling defeated at the moment. Searching for a roommate is, for me, an utterly loathsome task. There are people who don't find it a big deal and I wish I were one of them, but I'm not. FOAF fell through and the one friend who was considering it has decided to move to Chicago instead ( Read more... )

My sister has given birth to a second son, whom she and her husband have named Jackson. The firstborn is named Samuel.

I am alternately ( Read more... )

I'm about to do something stupid.

I don't know what it is yet; I can just feel it's coming.

This is going to seem like a digression but I promise to bring it full circle. Even though I said I wasn't going to watch Highschool of the Dead, I can't seem to stop. Zombies push my horror buttons more than anything else. They instill in me a genuine ( Read more... )

Is summer usually a dismal season for anime, like the Hollywood equivalent of releasing a movie in February or August? Or is it just me? I had marked eight shows to check out this season; so far half of them have had subbed first episodes released--and already I've dropped three. The only one I'm keeping is Kuroshitsuji II, which I'll save to talk ( Read more... )

Happy birthday, America.

Also, the ending of the anime I just finished watching has left me in a funk. Anyone care to rec an anime, preferably not sports because I unfailingly root for the "wrong" team, which leaves me destined for disappointment, and if someone would be so kind as to explain how a person who possesses neither magic/superpowers ( Read more... )
