I built my first snowman in Animal Crossing. But he was unhappy and said he was such a bad snowman that he’d scare children. I suck.

French Toast Casserole
My mom made something similar to this on Christmas morning. It was really good, and when looking through some other receipes for stuff like it I found this. This morning a friend of mine had a kind of pot luck brunch and had people bring stuff over. This was perfect (and it came out soooo good).
French Toast Casserole
Ingredients:
1 loaf French bread or Challah
8 large eggs
3 cups whole milk
4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon each cinnamon and nutmegTopping:
2 sticks butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
2 tablespoons corn syrup (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmegGrease a 13 by 9 inch pan. Cut bread into 1 inch thick slices and arrange in baking dish, overlapping slices to fit, if necessary.
Combine eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla and spices until blended.
Pour mixture over bread, making all is covered evenly. Cover pan with foil and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350.
Spread topping evenly over bread and bake, uncovered, for 40 – 50 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned.
Can serve with additional maple syrup and bacon or sausage.Variations: Could also sprinkle the top of the casserole with blueberries before baking or just sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top instead of the topping
Yum. I have a tiny bit leftover too that I think I will have right now.

Red Tint News
Anime News Network has some bits from an interview with someone who I guess may be the producer of the R2 Spirited Away DVD talking about the red tint. I don’t know enough about TVs and stuff to know if this is just BS or real. But it does sound like the US version is being produced a little differently. So there’s hope (even though I already have the R2 release).

Haibane Renmei (first impressions)
Wow.
I think I need to go watch the whole thing over again now. Damn. This show has definitely placed itself into the number one spot for 2002. I’m not sure the order below that, but this definitely tops my list.
I’ll post more when I have a chance to think about it more. Between watching Adaptation and this my brain is full.

Cool Safari Blog
In surfing around this morning I ran into Surfin’ Safari, a blog by Dave Hyatt. From how he writes I believe he’s a developer at Apple. Pretty cool to have this kind of resource available.
I’d love to see things like this for more products from Apple. As much as I like Apple, so much of the time they are so silent about anything. You never know if they are listening or not. For instance, I was just talking to a friend about iChat. We were both wondering what was up with it as there’s been no real talk about it from Apple since it was released and it definitely needs some cleaning up (and the ability to group users).

More on Manga
Lawrence Lessig has an article in Red Herring about dojinshi. It’s pretty interesting from the legal standpoint. One question I have since I don’t know everything about the subject. Is all dojinshi based on other things? I’m thinking of things like Haibane Renmei. Is that an exception to the rule?

More signs that 2003 will be the year of anime/manga
Yesterday, NPR had a story on Japan’s Comic Book Export. It was mostly about the english language Shonen Jump, but also talks a bit about the anime culture in the US as well. While it was a kind of interesting little story bit, it felt too focused on Shonen Jump. A more interesting article would have also covered Raijin Comics, which I am finding that I’m enjoying a little bit more overall (though I am also enjoying the second issue of Jump).
