Yay, it got up to 20 today! Thankfully a bit warmer since I’m having some folks over to watch anime this afternoon. I’m thinking about making this a standard thing once or twice a month on sunday afternoons and just have an open invite to people I know. We’ll see. It would be nice to have something regular like that so that people can plan on it. I could also work through some of the shows a little faster that way. Oh well, back to cleaning up some before people show up. Yay Roomba!

There’s this thing going around where you hit randomize on your mp3 library and post the first 20 songs that come up, so here goes.

1. The New Stone Age – Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
2. Brimful Of Asha – Cornershop
3. Sibeling – Depeche Mode
4. They Can’t Take That Away From Me – Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

10. Elegy – Howard Jones
11. The Great Commandment – Camouflage
12. Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans) – Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
13. Three Sisters – INXS
14. Didn’t You Know It – Bel Canto
15. The Hunted Child – Ice-T

19. romance – 梶浦由紀 (Noir Original Soundtrack I)
20. Pushing the sky – 菅野よう子 (Cowboy Bebop – Knockin on Heaven’s Door O.S.T. Future Blues)

Pretty interesting, it actually came up with some songs I really love (The Great Commandment, Joan of Arc, Freedom, Pushing the Sky). So now I’m giving it all a good listen.

I haven’t done one of these in ages, but I just couldn’t resist this one.

I keep having friends I want to show this and can never remember where it is. So I’ll blog it here. The condensed parody versions of The Two Towers and Return of the King. Enjoy if you haven’t seen yet.

Burger King customers told: ‘You are too fat to have a Whopper’

Police believe teenage pranksters are hacking into the wireless frequency of a US Burger King drive-through speaker to tell potential customers they are too fat for fast food.

Policeman Gerry Scherlink said the pranksters told one customer who had just placed an order: “You don’t need a couple of Whoppers. You are too fat. Pull ahead.” [Ananova]

And a large orange drink.

Del Rey has announced the release dates for Tsubasa, RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and xxxHOLiC. I know I won’t be able to resist picking them up. Dammit.
