A bit of blog admin stuff. Here. I believe I’ve successfully made it so that any new comments added will never link to a user’s email address. Though I am still requiring them to post.

So it will work like this, if you include a url a link will be made for your name to that url. If there is no url and just an email address, only the name with no link to the email address will be displayed.

Thanks!

I hate shaving. It’s just a big hassle. But, I hate being scruffy more, so I deal with it. Someone online pointed at this page about how The Shaving Industry Lies. I like the action figure razor holder myself. I wonder if I can make something like that for my Norelco.

In following a cool link from Scripting News on the Anatomy of a Meme, I also found this cool utility for making little buttons for web pages. As a result, I now have my own little 15×80 button for this site:

Feel free to download it and link to my site.

I can’t remember if I’ve said much about this show. But, Last Exile is quickly becoming one of my favorites of this season. First off, it’s a Gonzo show. For some reason I seem to like a good 90% of what they get involved with. This one started out a little slow though. The first two episodes were really kind of setup for everything else going on. As a result, not a lot was going on. But with the last few episodes things are getting a little more interesting. They are definitely not rushing the plot though, which is a good thing IMHO. Alvis also gets my vote for one of the cutest characters this season. They’ve done a really good job with the writing for her.

The other interesting thing with this show is that there is much noticeable computer animation in this show. For the most part though, it works. It isn’t as jarring as I’ve seen it in other Gonzo shows. And this is another show with a great theme song. Very interesting sounds.

(I really need to stop posting this stuff to my real blog first by mistake.)

Just watched the first two Nanaka 6-17 and Tenshi Na Konamaiki.

Nanaka is under my line for wishing to continue. Cute enough, interesting premise, but just not enough intrigue for me. LOL I am taking this too seriously.

Tenshi Na Konamaiki?
GET IT!
WATCH IT!
ENJOY IT!
THIS ROCKS HARD!

I sat down and watched Narue no Sekai up to six. I like this one a lot. It at a level of cute cheap animation and story that does not go so deep for me to just veg out and enjoy very much. The bishoujo characters just keep coming!

The other series I watched is Kino no Tabi 1 & 2. My brother gave these to me thinking I would like them. I indeedy do. Same Director Ryutaro Nakamura as Lain and it shows. Based off of a novel series. I am noticing the “adventurer” archetype which the character Kino is. Prince Ashitaka from Mononoke Hime as well. Traveling around seeing the world but not judging. “Seeing with eyes unclouded” kind of stuff. Six novels, a PS2 game, one DVD, one CD so far announced/available for this series.

The world isn’t beautiful, therefore it is beautiful.

Trying to sleep better is going slowly. After sleeping most of the night on Thursday night I did the typical sleep two hours, wake up for an hour thing tonight. Tonight some hot chocolate (despite the caffeine), an episode of anime, and a story in McSweeney’s got me back to sleep. I’m up again though. Though this time I’m feeling a bit more sleepy. Though, this is the perfect time to take my Actonel, even though I know it’ll give me heartburn (how come they come up with these medications that need to be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach? Oh yeah, and then they don’t want you to eat for at least an hour afterward). I only have to take it once a week thankfully.

I also finished reading Permutation City last night before the first time I went to sleep. I liked the book, thought it had really cool ideas, but the ending felt like a bit of a letdown. Next up is Kitchen Confidential, which I’ve been wanting to read for a while.
