You know what I don’t get? Twitter. What is this is RT shit? WTF is the tweetdeck? A little embarrassed because this has already hit the today show years ago. I guess I shouldn’t talk because I’m not big into social networking sites. So, I guess you really have to have an account there to get the entire experience. Not friendly to outside observers.

Haven’t really been keeping it together on RS, mainly busy with work. But read some stuff and watched some anime that I hopefully get around to writing about.

Oh, and how come people like url shortening services? Isn’t it fucking annoying that you can’t see where something is linking?

Anyway, here are some links and videos.

Haruhi-Chan Episode 11 Watch this video, it’s about 5 min. Sorry for the ad, but give it a chance.

Seriously guys, Delgo?

I know zach and ross at least are into failblog.

Seems like forever since I wrote a blog post. I never managed to get around to generating a best of 2009 list as I promised in Zach’s sticky post above. It did occur to me that the best trip of 2009 was definitely going to the lake and the best laugh was the new present Bruce Willis scene in Disney’s the kid.

I believe I already mentioned this but watched a ton of anime over the holiday, however, it’s really fallen off since I’ve gotten back, as has my K-horror watching. So I’m not sure I can do another review rodeo at the moment but I can at least link to a pretty awesome song. Joey Tafolla shreds. The title of the song is ‘open house.’ I like the name because it works on multiple levels. First of all it’s about shredding on open strings, but then open house as a phrase can imply a lot, like an actual open house event or just the pleasant feeling of an open versus cloused house.

Anyway, last night I had what I thought was the best idea ever for a roaring shark podcast. I feel the ‘review’ podcast is too limiting, as much as I love talking about final fantasy and anime. The idea is to call the podcast the ’survival guide’ and having each episode be about areas of knowledge that you don’t necessarily think about. One of the ideas for a show I had, because I’ve been pondering it recently would be traditional board games, like you know backgammon, checkers, parchisi, tafl, mancala. I’ve just been thinking a lot about what strategy is recently. Another idea would be a show about the different kinds of scents.

I’m hoping to get another chapter of the fanfic up soon. I came up with a fun metal riff.

so far we got Commando Man:

and Sheep Man:

Utica, NY! not too far away.

it’s hard not to laugh at the crowd shots, but i think i’d probably be totally amped up if i was at that show, too.

it seems at least several of us have been struggling through a slight malaise during a season when we should be feeling renewed with the energy and vigor of early summer. if, like me, you’ve been in the doldrums, hopefully this will give you a brief glimpse of trade winds to come. the carpenters version of klaatu’s “calling occupants of interplanetary craft.”
