Hello again, brotha!

You know, I didn't pay any real attention to the promos for this episode, so I have no idea who is in the spotlight tonight. Ooh, an element of mystery tonight! At least for the first couple of minutes, that is ... -- wtf who is the creeper...

End of the Week

I wish I didn't have to do this, but with the way things are developing for me, I'll have to bid a fond farewell to My Week in Anime after 70 weeks (that number still boggles my mind) of writing.

Writing it has never been a chore for me; however, with my continued adjustment to my full-time job, my increased ambitions over at the other blog and my life outside the 'net (wait, that exists?!), my mind is feeling more than a bit worn, which is obviously the opposite result of hobbies, haha. So these posts are the unfortunate victim.

I won't jettison anime here completely (I enjoy it too much to do that); I'd like to make shorter individual posts about series I watch, if only because shows like Hataraki Man, Kemonozume, etc. should not slip through the cracks. I'll probably do season round-ups, too, since I'd have to write that once every few months. What an easy workload!

Everyone who read and commented: I definitely appreciate the support, because, you know, the whole point of writing them is so that people get something from them. If I influenced someone to pick up a kickass series or two along the way, then I'm happy. (Unless I somehow influenced you to pick up some piece of ass like Ookamikakushi or Kurokami -- then you have my deepest apologies.)

:O!!!!!!!!!!!

So, guess who might be going to a pillows concert in May? Booyah. Good job by my sister for noticing this opportunity. All that's left is for me to beg for a vacation day in May. Shouldn't be too difficult. The concert is on a Sunday, too (May 23, to be specific), so I'd be able to attend Movie Sign for an hour or so beforehand.

And my alma mater, Cal Poly Pomona, is thiiiiiiiiiiiis close to winning the Division II men's basketball championship right now. Great day, great day.

EDIT: And it's official -- championship baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!! Definitely makes up for that heartbreaker last year.

How many Lost geeks will name their sons Ricardus after this?

Richard Alpert episode! A bit nervous at having some of Alpert's mystique ripped away, but I'm looking forward to the episode nonetheless. Let's go! -- Poor Richard Alpert. He resigned as the mayor of Gotham City to work for Jacob. --...
