Black Lagoon v2
Before I started watching Black Lagoon from what I heard the show was Revy, Revy, Revy, she’s so freaking awesome. After two dvds, I gotta say I think she’s a whiny coward. To make it clear, I find Revy annoying. She’s like Shinji Ikari with the way she uses self pity to excuse herself.
Busted Computer
Figured I’d give one of those hey this is why I haven’t updated post. My home PC is busted. It can’t find the heat sink so it won’t start, so I opened up the case and sure enough there’s this loose chunk of computer broken off and sitting on the motherboard. Plus that whole work [...]
Beck and that Koyuki Jerk
Man, between volume one and volume two of the Beck anime, that jerk Koyuki got way better at guitar than I did. Me, I’m stuck with the holy rock trinity of power chord progressions, E-A-B E-A-B-A. Well, no not really, I’m a little less sad than that, but not much less. It’s fun picking up [...]

About Holland and Talho
Volume Eight of Eureka Seven to me was about Holland and Talho. Sure, some big plot things happened, revealing the big bad evil plans of Colonel Dewey (just a colonel?), but evil Dewey stuff is kind of backburner to me at this point when watching this show. What makes Eureka Seven awesome to me are [...]
Iris, Don’t Let It Bring You Down
Iris was angry, so I told her to smile. Don’t you hate it when people tell you to smile? Maybe you’ve just worked several 80 hour weeks in row, your relationships have turned crap because of that, or as with Iris, a princess without a castle to waltz in, and some idiot just wants to [...]
