While I admit that I enjoyed a few episodes of M*A*S*H, I spent many late nights as a child lamenting the fact that nothing good was on late in the evening. I blame my parents for not having cable, which led to the eventual damage of my psyche. I was reminded of these sleepness nights…

The other week, Vince and I checked out Skooby’s, which has pretty good hot dogs, fries, and chili. I was pleasantly surprised that none of the items I mentioned tasted greasy at all – I’d definitely go back. Vince then suggested going to Lickity Split a couple blocks away. I was a bit reluctant because…

During an eye exam in High School Girls, one of the characters is trying to memorize the column of symbols which is suspiciously similar to the legendary Konami cheat code.       I know it’s missing the final part, but the character does say “Left, Right” after the initial “Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right”.…

The first pic on the left, from NANA, made me feel a bit uneasy because I immediately thought of several threads on 4chan about “TRAPS” (guys who look like girls). I haven’t seen or read much of NANA, so I’ll be cautious for now. You have to be careful with anime these days since so…

The “Welcom ToNigtmare” text from Air Gear manages to slightly amuse me because butchering the English language is one of my many hobbies. The fun doesn’t stop there.

Inconsistent frames in anime appear from time to time, and the first two pics from Peach Girl seemed like the usual slight oversight on the part of the animators. Then I asked myself, “Could an anime of this caliber really make such a simple mistake?” The answer was obviously “no”, so I first theorized that…

Epic 2006 took place yesterday, and I am still recovering from the beating I took. I realize that half of the readers of this site (6 people), don’t know what I’m talking about, so you might want to take a look at the Official Rules – Information, Match Ups, and Discussion. I snapped a few…

The L.A. Marthon is bullying the local area this morning and afternoon. It’s a bit irritating since I have some errands to do in the area… The creators of Suzuka used quite a few t-shirts with words that provided subtle hints for the show or about the personality of the characters. Going from left to…
